LOGINIt wasn’t much of a fight because Asher didn’t retaliate. He only stared Silas down like he wasn’t even worth the hassle.“What the fuck do you want with my wife, asshole?”There was a large hole in the wall now. Kerry was already calculating just how much it would cost to fix it. Asher rolled his eyes at the accusation.“If I had any serious intentions toward her, she wouldn’t be your wife.”“I’m warning you now—stay away from my family!”“And if I don’t?”“Boys, enough of this,” Alaric said. It would have been stupid of them to continue fighting in his presence, not when he had that serious look in his eyes. “Why don’t we all retire for today? Any fight can wait till tomorrow.”Asher was already walking away, Alaric following close behind. Soon, it was just Kerry and Silas left in the room. She approached him slowly. His knuckles were bleeding from all the punches that hadn’t even landed on their target. Silas was strong, but then again, Asher was centuries older and far more experi
They decided that since Silas wasn’t going to just admit that he was possessed, they would perform some sort of exorcism on him. Kerry would laugh at the whole thing if that wasn’t basically her husband being dragged into some underground dungeon.Silas watched the whole thing happen with a look of ridicule. Honestly, he thought it was his own fault for coming to this damn town in the first place. His eyes searched the room for his wife. Even at a moment like this, all he could think about was her.She was in the corner of the room, trying desperately to make herself small. She wouldn’t even look in his direction. Maybe she felt some guilt after all. Silas thought she looked very attractive with that look on her face. If he was free, he might just bend her over right there and then, in front of all these people, and have his way with her.His woman made the cutest of sounds, especially when overstimulated. It didn’t happen often, but sometimes they would engage in a little pain. Those
At this point, Silas was helpless. Kerry had no choice but to believe Asher, even though she really didn’t want to. This wasn’t her husband—she knew this. She knew Silas like the back of her own palm, and this just wasn’t him.She tried to get off him, but the vampire hissed in protest. His eyes were wide and angry.“You believe him?” he scoffed. She could hear hatred seeping through his voice like venom. And yeah, Silas wasn’t like this at all. “You believe what? That I’m fucking possessed? Be for real. Is he dicking you down that good that you can’t fucking use your head?!”Kerry had the urge to smack him again, just to get him to shut up. Honestly, having the upper hand over him felt good—it was her own form of revenge for the trauma he had put her through. Though she knew it wasn’t all him.“The real Silas would never say that.”“Right, because you know me all that well.”“I do.”“No, you fucking don’t. I do all the knowing, baby. You just sit there and find any reason to hate my
Her husband was still the way she had left him—with that damn stake in his chest. Honestly, she didn’t know whether having these men hovering over Silas was such a good idea anymore. Asher had assured her that his father and uncle would find a solution to her husband’s sudden… chaotic behaviour. At least, that was what Asher had called it.The whole damn room was brimming with tension. It was so thick she could almost cut it with a knife. According to what she’d heard, Asher’s uncle, Damien, was sleeping with his stepdaughter. She knew that already. But then his wife had found out and was threatening to leave. No wonder the man had that scary look on his face. It didn’t help that Alaric kept making snarky remarks about his brother’s unfortunate situation either. He seemed to derive joy from the man’s misery.Kerry just wished they would focus enough to get that damn wood out of her husband’s heart!“Did Asher tell you anything?” Via stood by her side, her eyes fixed on her boyfriend,
The last thing Damien wanted was for this to happen—now, of all times. Okay, maybe he hadn’t cared about Gwen finding out the truth, but he also hadn’t expected her to throw this much of a tantrum. And certainly not in front of him.His jaw tightened as he stared at the man who had just stepped out of the car, looking entirely too pleased with himself. Alaric. Of all the moments he could have chosen to appear, it had to be this one.Damien could already see it—the smug amusement, the quiet observation, the way his brother’s mind would catalog every single detail of this scene and store it away for future use. Leverage. Something he could use against him. His brother thrived on finding people’s weaknesses and using them against them. He’d even done it to his own son.And Gwen, unfortunately, was making everything worse. “Pay attention to me when I’m talking to you!” she snapped, her voice cutting sharply through the tense air. It was the sheer level of disrespect that made fury burn in
“What the hell do you want from us?!” Gwen screamed, her voice echoing through the space. Liz flinched beside her. She couldn’t understand how things had escalated so quickly.When she suspected her mom had found out about the affair, she had expected to be confronted, to be called a traitor. Yet Damien seemed to be the one taking all the damage. One would wonder whether he was taking the fall for both of them. Somehow, that didn’t sit well with her. Yet she couldn’t bring herself to say anything.Damien didn’t answer immediately. He stood there, blocking the car like an immovable force, his dark gaze fixed entirely on Gwen. There was something unreadable in his expression—something that only made Gwen angrier. She couldn’t even see remorse. Her husband had done something so horrible, yet he didn’t even have the nerve to feel bad about it.“You’ve already ruined everything!” she continued, her chest rising and falling rapidly. “Do you really think there’s anything left here? Do you th
I haven’t been feeling like myself lately. And the closer my mother’s wedding got, the more anxious I felt. There wasn’t much to prepare for, as it was going to be a simple wedding. However, I still hardly saw Gwen around. She was staying over at her sister’s place to prepare together. I wasn’t muc
I didn’t see Damien for the next week. He was avoiding me—that much was obvious. I should have been thrilled about this; he was spending less time with Mom, and that was a good thing.However, I couldn’t stop thinking about him—about the kiss we had shared. He’d been hard, pressed against me. If it
Evans claimed he truly felt that way, and that the only reason he had broken up with me was because he thought I wouldn’t accept him being a vampire. The excuse was so lousy, it pissed me off.“Go away, Evan.” I tried to walk away, but I was grabbed roughly by my ex-boyfriend. Before I knew it, he
Third POVGwen Astray was the perfect woman—kind, compassionate, and hardworking. A typical human living decently in the eyes of society. She’d been through one tragedy or another in her short life, the greatest, being the death of her beloved husband, ruled out as death by electrocution, even tho
