INICIAR SESIÓNMy father disappeared a year ago after giving me one piece of advice. Never go anywhere near Vivian. Vivian just happens to be my mother. The same mother who walked out of my life eleven years ago. When she suddenly invites me to move into her fancy Manhattan mansion with her ancient vampire bloodmate, I say no. Then I realize something. If anyone knows what happened to my father, it's probably the people he warned me about. Now I'm living under the same roof as a ridiculously attractive vampire who might have murdered my dad, pretending to be the perfect intern while secretly investigating him. As if that isn't enough, a terrifying Alpha werewolf takes one look at me and decides I'm his fated mate. Apparently my life wasn't chaotic enough already. The more questions I ask, the more bodies turn up, the more secrets I uncover, and the more I realize my father wasn't hiding from monsters. He was hiding me.Now someone wants my blood, two supernatural enemies refuse to leave my side, and if I don't uncover the truth soon...I'm probably going to end up as the next body.
Ver másThe ride back to the mansion is just as quiet. Vivian doesn’t even bother asking what the detective wanted to say. I haven’t even gotten a hug from her, or a good old ‘everything will be okay’. Mother of the year.I run to my bedroom the moment we arrive. My father’s smiling face stares back at me from my nightstand. I grab the picture frame and hug it tightly. Then I let the tears and the pain take over. I lay on my side clinging to the memory of him. Why did he have to come to Manhattan? I cry harder at the thought. What was so important that he had to leave me and come to the same city as Vivian. What does Elijah have to do with any of this? I have to find a way to get close to him. But all I know is that he and Lucien are enemies. Enemies who for some reason, want to go into business together. Maybe that breakfast meeting yesterday wasn’t in vain. The man did claim that I was his mate. I can use that to my advantage before he comes to his senses and remembers I’m just human
I’m running. My dirty and bloody feet are getting numb from the pain as I rush past the trees. The new dress Lucien’s driver bought me is already torn and muddy. I don’t remember falling. I don’t even know how it got torn. The drops from the sweat running down my forehead make my eyes sting. I hear the howl from far behind me and try to run faster but my legs are already failing. I try to scream but no sound comes. My heart is beating hard enough to give me a heart attack. The wolf howls again. It sounds closer than a few seconds ago. My left foot lands on something sharp and I wake up wincing in pain. There is pounding sound on the door. For just a second I think I am in my old apartment.“Layla.” Rosa’s voice comes through the door as the pounding continues. I groan and get off the bed. My feet somehow actually feel sore. What kind of nightmare was that? I should probably blame the heals that were forced on me by Joncil. I pass by the new dress thrown on the chair and head fo
I wake up the next morning feeling like a truck ran me over. I didn’t even have a single glass of wine yesterday. I was too tired from traveling thus drinking seemed risky.I spent most of the night thinking about the lunch with Vivian and her blood sucker. He actually offered me an internship at his company. Right after asking a billion questions about my childhood, why I dropped out of college, he even had the audacity to ask about my love life. I didn’t tell him anything obviously, mainly because there was nothing to tell. Vivian on the other hand looked irritated throughout the whole lunch. I have to admin that tiny detail felt good. But something about how fast everything was happening was off. First, Vivian invites me into her home after eleven years of dead silence. Now, they offer me a job. The bright side is that it can get me closer to finding out why my father didn’t want me anywhere near Vivian. I bet it’s more than just resentment over being abandoned. My father wasn
Today marks exactly one year since my father’s mysterious disappearance. My estranged mother has suddenly decided to take me in after months of struggling on my own. The town car Vivian sent comes to a stop in front of a mansion. For a house owned by an ancient vampire, it’s brighter than I expected. White flowers frame the entrance and neatly trimmed hedges line a long circular driveway. It looks less like the home of a monster and more like something ripped out of a luxury magazine.It definitely suits Vivian’s vibe. Not that I know much about her. I only remember fragments, and most of them not good.The driver gets out and opens my door before I can consider crawling under the seat to hide my worn out jeans. I slowly get out as he moves to grab my suitcase. My only possession. Yes, my life into a very small single suitcase.The doors to the house open and my mother, Vivian stands there with a smile I don’t remember much of from childhood. I remember her as sad and whiny, whic
