MONICA.

The air rings with my uncertainty, clinging to the wind like a bad perfume. I press my back harder against the tree trunk as though it would absorb me with just enough pressure.

Is this real? I know that I haven't been sleeping the best, and I know that that can lead to funky stuff. I might just be imagining this whole thing.

I mean, when was the last time I saw Cassandra? It's been so long that I can't even remember. Hell, I also don't remember the last time her name came up in conversations. I just know that Janus told me that she had to be put away for what she did to me.

Seeing this version of her now makes me doubt a lot of things. It makes me doubt if this is even real. But then again, why would she be something I would hallucinate when she hasn't crossed my mind in forever.

But the smell of blood and unwashed flesh is what brings me back.

This is real. I hear her. I smell her. I see her.

And she's still trying to crawl closer to me.

"Help me, please," she begs, holding

  • His Regret: The Alpha King Wants Me Now   One Hundred Fifty-Five

    MONICA.A scream gets stuck in my throat.I’ve been caught. Deimos is staring at me now, smiling at me like I’m some sort of a welcome guest.“Now you know what’s going on,” he says nicely, getting up from his seat. Riva follows his line of sight and she actually gasps at the sight of me. I want to back off but the grip around my body is so tight that I can’t go anywhere. “Oh, you need to stay. You can’t go. You’re here to listen to our plans, right?”Riva sounds nervous. Her voice is actually shaking when she tentatively says, “Deimos, I think I might have messed up. I was the one who wanted to get into her mind—”She stops abruptly when he holds his hand up.“Now, now, Riva.” He approaches me, stopping directly in front of me. He feels so close that I can smell him. “Monica, don’t worry. I will let you come back to your world with all the knowledge that you have. But I will warn you about one thing.”“What?” I want to ask, and he seems to read my mind.“I’m changing up the plan,” he

    MONICA.Deimos is his name.Nothing is more fitting. I look at him now and I guess it just figures that that is his name. He really is a demon in disguise, and his smirk now says it all. He grins widely and I see how sharp his incisors are, really selling that demonic name.The woman named Riva smiles back at him before straightening up, doing a little curtsy that he seems so amused with. I don’t know what their relationship is, but it looks like they’re more than friends.“Deimos,” Riva repeats, letting the name roll off her tongue. “I didn’t know that we’re back to calling each other like that. Does that mean we’re close again?”“We’ve never been apart,” he says softly. “You’re the one who helped me through everything. You’re the one who helped me survive the war. I was killed and you brought me back. The very least I can do for you is let you use my name. We have fought side by side a million times. We have history. Remember when we wounded up in the Human world?”Riva nods, lickin

    MONICA.“No, you have to help.” I grab Anais’s arm and refuse to let her go even as she starts to struggle. “You promised me that you would help, and you won’t leave this place until you did something useful!”“Monica,” August tries to say to calm me down, but I wheel around on him angrily. He raises his hands in surrender, his eyes full of regret. “Look, we never wanted this. I did everything I can, and it just doesn’t work. Nothing works.”The despair in his tone makes me hesitate. Anais stops struggling against my grip even though my nails are starting to dig into her skin. Seeing eh damage I’m doing on her makes me come to my senses, and I finally let her go.“So nothing?” I murmur. “We can’t do anything? This is the end?”Even saying that feels like betrayal. I don’t want this to be the end.“It’s not,” August says after a moment of silence. “We haven’t given up, Monica. We’re just saying that right now, our options have gotten narrowed into nothing. We’re back at the very start.

    MONICA.Saying that is a slash to my wrist. I hate it. I hate having to acknowledge that connection, even though I already had a strong suspicion when I first saw him in that portal.The grin that spreads on his face is enough to tell me that I got it right.He really is an Ancient like me. We are connected.I think back to my mother’s story before, about how the Ancients fell to infighting before the Wolves even thought about taking over and eradicating us once and for all. I already had a sneaking suspicion when he told me that the world I saw in the portal belonged to me, but now it’s confirmed.And I hate it.HIs smile widens. “Yes, that’s correct. Took you long enough, didn’t it?”I grit my teeth. “Let me go.”He just smiles softly. “Not until you see this.”With that, he turns around and disappears into the thick background of darkness. I wait for the light to come again, but it doesn’t. The pitch black stays there, and I keep fumbling around, still held back by the invisible ro

    MONICA.I undo the straps binding Roman to my body. I didn't realize how heavy he is and how much strength it took me to carry him until he's finally off my back. Anais moves over to me and covers me up, and August stays back.He's standing at the bottom of the stairs, staring at us like he can't believe what he's seeing. And I don't blame him. It must be a weird sight seeing us pull up like this, especially when he probably doesn't have a clue that Roman has been out for a while now."I have so many questions and I don’t even know where to begin," he states, kneeling next to Roman and inspecting his face. "I want to start with this. Why is he out and how did he...."He trails off when he touches the side of Roman's neck. "What's going on?" Anais asks, approaching him. "Is he...."She also trails off and my heart jumps. I rush towards Roman and cup his face. His skin is burning. It almost doesn't feel like I'm touching a person. He almost feels like pottery fresh off the kiln, when

    ROMAN.With that, my body collapses. The coldness is gone, replaced with a fever-like heat that lashes at my senses when the voice gives me back my control. I start to convulse, screaming in pain, my throat raw from the fire consuming me from within.I clamp my lips together despite the need to scream for help. I refuse to draw attention back to me. I refuse to have Monica turn back so I can have the opportunity to hurt her again.This voice inside me… it’s dangerous.“For some time I have allowed you to seize control,” it tells me menacingly as it cranks up the pain in my mind. “For weeks I tried to do this nicely. But you left me no choice.”“Who are you?” is all I can manage to ask. “What do you need from me? What do you need from my family?”“I want what was taken from me,” the voice says. “I want my birthright. I want the bride that was promised to me. I want the life I was always destined to have. I was forced into the shadows by your kind, but that’s over now. In fact, one of y
