I could do nothing but sit and listen to her sobs through the phone. Tears had welled up in my own eyes listening to Vega's pitiful cries.

"Adam's working on seeing what he can do," I said hopefully.

I heard her stop and sniffle.

"If he had done his job in the first place, this wouldn't have happened. The council thinks it was a rogue attack-probably the same one your boyfriend neglected to find," she spat bitterly.

I felt my jaw clench.

"He left men there to investigate. If anyone is to be blamed, it's them and Adam will deal with that. He's looking into it, so don't make any rash conclusions before you have actual facts, Vega. That's extremely unfair."

"Are you actually defending him?" She asked incredulously.

I took a deep breath. "Yes."

I heard Vega let out a breathy laugh. "Well, that didn't take long."

"What?" I asked.

"You getting used to the high and mighty life. God, I knew this would happen to you! You used to be so strong-willed and stubborn and now that you're mated to an

  • PRIMAL   Epilogue

    Exactly two years and five days after the death of my father, Cain Alexander Deveraux was born.He had my brown hair and Adam's brilliant blue eyes. That, however, was where the similarities ended.Cain was born a Vampire, yet he was also still a Lycanthrope; a hybrid, as Dr. Zosak had called him.He was the first of his kind.Although he was certainly one of a kind, Adam and I raised him normally. We didn't know how else to. As he grew, he began to turn into one of the most temperamental people I had ever met.Cain was smart, cunning even. He was strong and healthy. But, when watching him closely, I could see the fire within him.It scared me.One day, I heard he and Adam talking to each other as I walked past Adam's office. Adam was attempting to explain to the four-year-old the duties that he had as Alpha. Cain couldn't seem to understand why his father worked with other Alphas instead of working by himself."Well." Adam explained, "we all work as a team. I can't rule the whole wor

    Unknown P.O.V."This wasn't part of the deal," he snarled.The woman's eyebrow rose as she looked on at the two men arguing."My demands have changed," the second man said, crossing his arms."If I get what I want, I will give you access to the castle. If you can't make that work, you can find someone else."The first man growled."Do you realize what this means we have to do? What we'll have to risk to get you what you want?""Of course I do."The woman stood to her feet as she saw patience running thin between the two men."We'll do it. But we want inside that castle sooner than next month, or no deal," she bargained.A smirk rose on the face of the second man."Done."Evelyn's P.O.V."I don't want to look at them."I sat on the bed, pulling my knees in tight against my chest. Liu took the vase of flowers and put them in the bathroom, closing the door as she left them on top of the vanity.I could see outside the open bedroom door as five burly men picked up the lifeless body of the

    Diedrick smiled."I'm glad you're happy to see me."I'm not."I thought you would be gone for a few days," I said gulping.He waved his hand dismissively as he strolled closer to where I stood."My father and brother have been laid at rest, so I came back. There was no time to waste mourning."I took a shallow breath."I'm sure Adam would have wanted you to tell him," I said."He and Jace have just left for Utah."Diedrick nodded."Yes, so l heard."His eyes narrowed in on my hands."You're bleeding," he commented, walking over to where I stood.I looked down to see that I had indeed been stuck by the pin in my hand, probably in fright after Diedrick scared me. I huffed and held my hand away from my body to ensure I didn't get any blood on the white dress.Diedrick carefully took my hand in his and led me off of the platform. He instructed me to sit down on the high-back chair and I did so, warily.He kneeled in front of me and took a handkerchief out of his pocket. Diedrick began to

    When we arrived back at the castle, we were immediately met at the door by Jace."You'll want to see this," he said, gesturing for Adam to follow him.Adam gave me an unsure look before he and I began to follow Jace inside the castle. He led us down into the hospital ward and I felt my heart drop.Did something happen to Mr. Chandler while we were gone?My question was answered as I walked into his room and saw him lying on the cot, asleep."What happened?" I asked Jace, not seeing anything visibly wrong with him.Jace walked around me and threw back the covers off of Mr. Chandler, who remained in a deep sleep."The nurse noticed it yesterday as she was helping Mrs. Chandler wash him," he said, pulling up the hospital gown to expose Mr. Chandler's thigh.I gasped when I saw the gash that was oozing with infection."What happened?" I asked him.Jace's eyes narrowed on me before Adam spoke up."He was bitten.""Bitten?"I saw Jace and Adam exchange a wary look between them."We can't ta

    Adam's P.O.V.I was angrier at myself in that moment than I had ever been in my life. I couldn't believe I had let her watch me do that, no matter how much the bastard deserved it.I didn't regret it, and I knew she could see that.I would have done it all over again twenty times if it had meant protecting her.But, I saw the way she looked at me as I held her.I was something that would make her afraid of the dark, the last thing I wanted was for her to realize that.I had gotten carried away the night before. I had let my wolf take control instead of killing him quickly and the added theatrics were only going to hurt me now.Wanting desperately to explain myself and to make sure that I had not scarred her for life, I got up the nerve to ask.However, before I could mutter a syllable, I heard someone open the bedroom door. I turned quickly, pushing Evelyn behind me, both out of a protective instinct and because she was naked under a loosely tied bathrobe.Seeing Diedrick, I felt my b

    Waking up with a dagger pointed at your throat is just as terrifying as one would think. When I felt the cold metal pressed against my neck, my eyes immediately opened to see the glint of the dagger in the moonlight.I froze, unsure of what to do.My eyes adjusted quickly and I was able to make out the person whose hand was holding the weapon.Barret Schneider.My eyes widened as he slowly put one a finger over his lips as a gesture for me not to speak. I felt my heart began to beat quickly and I tried my hardest tocontrol my rapid breathing.At some point in the night, Adam and I had ended up changing positions; Adam was now behind me, one arm around my waist, the other under my pillow.I gulped as Barret reached out and pulled back the covers slowly, gesturing for me to get up. With the dagger still lingering dangerously near my throat, I had no choice but to slowly remove Adam's arm from around my waist.His strong grip made this near impossible, but I managed to slide out from un
