MONICA.

Panic seizes my heart like a fist, clamping over it so hard that for a moment I feel like I’m not alive. I wipe the liquid on the hem of my dress, and the stain comes away like dried blood.

I stare at my hand, waiting for the black to disappear. Hyden just watches me, calm, as though he already knew this long before. It’s fading now as I wipe my hand on my skirt over and over, but I can still see traces of it.

“Maybe there’s a different way to confirm,” I stammer. “That can’t be the only way. And that can’t be the most accurate.”

“Unfortunately, that’s the most accurate test that I have,” Hyden says, his voice low. To my surprise, he reaches for me with his good hand. “Don’t worry. I’m not going to tell my brother anything. We can keep that a secret until we figure out what we need to do.”

I just nod, but everything inside me is starting to wither away.

What will Roman do if he finds out? I mean, he already hears whispers every now and then. He knows about the healing thing. W

  • His Regret: The Alpha King Wants Me Now   One Hundred Sixteen

    MONICA.The change in energy surrounding the Disciple causes the knot of dread in my stomach to lock up. He holds out his hand for me, his movement surprisingly graceful. I lift my hand, about to hold his and get this over with.But that’s when I feel the tug of energy from the portal and realize that it’s open again.I turn my body slightly, knowing that if I make a break for it, I might just make it.“It will all make sense soon,” he tells me, his tone gentle. “If you just come with me now, it’s all going to get better. Roman won’t be harmed. None of the people back in Terra Lycaon would be harmed. Take my hand.”It’s a request. Not a command. Like he’s really trying not to be too harsh with me. I don’t know what else that would do to me, because I already know that I can’t trust him.When I don’t move, he takes a step forward, emerging from the shadows. But the darkness seems to follow him. He extends his arms further, urging me to take it, but I also just take a step back.And bef

    MONICA.“No,” I whisper to myself, running faster and ignoring the screams coming from the crowds I’m dispersing.The male voice in my mind is just as strong as the female one, if not stronger. If not louder. He laughs in my mind, taunting me.“You can’t escape me. I know where you are and I’m coming for you.”I run faster. My bulky body keeps ramming down the chairs in the alfresco restaurants. The people try to get off the sidewalks and into the streets, almost getting ran over by the rushing taxis. The chaos is palpable. The panic in my chest is even worse.Still, I push myself to run, navigating the streets. I can see some onlookers trying to take videos of me, but I don't care. I need to go back to Terra Lycaon as fast as possble.My breath is hitching in my throat. I'm not used to this form and how much energy it seems to take just running, and I'm starting to feel exhausted. “I need more energy,” I tell the female voice in my mind. “I need to keep up this form to save myself w

    MONICA.Fear strikes my heart, strong and sharp. The gasp that I was going to let out gets stuck in my mouth. I take a step back, away from Elvira, but I only end up bumping into Andy, who catches me and puts me back in place.I look around, and the place seems to change in real time. The lights become dim. The music becomes slow and distorted. Dust rains from the ceiling, and when I look up, I realize that there hasn't been anyone in this place for a very long time. These people have been stuck here, waiting for me.If I can even call them people.Suddenly I remember what the Creature said when I left Terra Lycaon. Beware of the one who sells flesh. It was warning me about Andy and I was too stupid to see it.This might have been all a trap, and now I have nowhere to go. No way to leave. They’re all closing in on me, smiling as they trap me in the middle of their circle.Elvira’s grip loosens around me, but it’s no use. I still can’t move. Their bodies are pressing on me, keeping me

    ROMAN.Time seems to slow down. I see Cassandra opening her mouth, her teeth inches away from my face. Images of the dead guards and staff flash before my eyes, and I immediately know that that is what’s waiting for me if I don’t do anything now.Face clean. Head nearly unrecognizable. Blood everywhere.I can’t let that happen to me.Cassandra’s mouth draws closer, ready to bite, ready to disfigure me forever. In a split-second, I partially shift into my wolf form to block her blow. My arm shifts, my hand curling into a claw.At the very last millimeter, I deliver a punch on her face, feeling her jaw crack under the pressure. But even that is not enough to discourage her. She growls even more loudly, spraying her sour scent on my face. She goes for another bite, but this time I scratch the side of her cheek She goes for another try, gnashing her teeth at me.This time, I extend my nails as far as they can go and stab the side of her face with it.Blood splatters on my face, warm and s

    MONICA.“Andy?” I whisper, frowning up at her and wondering if I’m really seeing it correctly.It hasn’t been that long—only a few months—and yet it feels like it’s been five years. She holds out her hand and smiles, and I notice something that wasn’t there before. Gold teeth. She talked a lot about getting them before, but she always claimed that she just never had enough to make it a real thing.The fact that she has not only one but three tells me that she must have been doing well.“Take my hand, girl,” she urges, and I do as she says. She pulls me up to my feet and inspects me. I notice that she’s not even driving her own car anymore. She has a chauffeur. “Don’t sit too long on the ground. You know how shitty our streets are.”“Thank you,” I tell her, brushing myself off. “I… I didn’t expect to see you here at all.”“I know, and I didn’t expect you.” Her tone changes, but I can’t point out exactly what emotion it is. “Come with me. I’ll take you to your old home.”I hesitate. I m

    ROMAN."No," I whisper to myself, staring at the carnage around me.So many people. So many bodies. I can't help but note that most of them are close to the gate, like they knew what was going to happen to all of them and they tried to escape.The fire is getting worse. I can hear sections of the wall crumbling to the ground. I freeze in my spot, unsure of where to go and what to do. Is there even a point of us heading inside? What's even in there anymore? I crouch next to the nearest corpse. It's a guard, and his face isn't even visible anymore. Hell, even his head doesn't look like a head, just an empty skull that looks like a bowl attached to his neck. In his hands are the keys. "We should go in.”The words coming from Janus makes me freeze. I look up at him, finding him staring at the tower. "You want us to come in?" I repeat. "Everyone is dead. The place is on fire. The best thing for us to do right now is to ask for help to put down the fire, so it doesn't spread.”"But... I
