LOGINDid you get my message? I missed you. Emma gushed with a fake smile. Odessa smiled sweetly at her, but her eyes shone with deep hatred.
I'm not sure, Emma, am I supposed to? She tilted her head to the side like a cat trying to decipher something. Um, still a smart mouth. I see, won't be long before you're eating your own words. And who's going to make me, you? Odessa started to laugh hysterically, as if Emma just said the most stupid thing in the wWow, it's so big. Malina commented the moment they walked into the town library. Simeon glanced up from his book to find Luna standing before him, a visitor who had been conspicuously absent lately. Recognition sparked in his eyes. And a warm smile spread across his face. Luna. What a pleasant surprise. Life's been treating you well, I hope. He rose from his chair and approached them. Guide, Luna. Little Melina tugged excitedly at her hand. Does the library have sci-fi books? I absolutely adore sci-fi. I've been managing fine. Thank you, and yourself. How have things been? Luna asked, her voice caring, genuine concern. Seen better days, if I'm honest, but nothing worth troubling you about. What brings you here today? I need information about witches. She replied, casting a glance at the enthusiastic child beside her. And perhaps you could direct Molina to the sci-fi section. Meli
Odessa woke up that morning feeling particularly weird after the night of the party. They still hadn't heard from Emma. And it had been a week since the incident at the bar, even though it seemed like Emma wasn't trying anything again. Odessa couldn't shake the feeling of something foreboding hanging over her head. Following her around like a malignant shadow. I just think you're being paranoid. Odessa, her wolf chastised, its voice a mix of frustration and concern. I can't help what I feel. Aria. Odessa replied. Her thoughts a whirlwind of anxiety and unease. Don't you think we are being a little too comfortable? She has no soul. I can't track or detect a being without a soul. The admission left her feeling exposed, her usual confidence wavering under the weight of her fears. Aria's silence was unsettling, a stark contrast to her usual reassuring presence, the foreboding sensation gnawed at Odessa.
Dominico sat at the top of the building with legs swinging at the edge. He sucked in the cancer stick and inhaled deeply, before blowing the smoke residue that didn't disappear into his lung until the cold winter air. The air was frigid, but he couldn't feel anything. He was immune to the cold weather because of the werewolf blood running through his veins. He hated his worse side, though. He felt like it was a curse, which was why he hardly ever shifted. His purple eyes scanned the ground, and he leaned on his right hand, slouching back. He was looking for her. It had been hard, but he had been able to pinpoint her location. The woman was sneaky as hell. He would give her that credit, but she wasn't as sneaky as she thought after she had left him alone on his bed the day they spent the night together. He made it his life's mission to find her. He could still feel the empty space where his heart was pulsing with a need to be completed by what. He had no idea, but one thing h
Odessa sat in front of the vanity as she held the dark tresses of Melina's hair in her hand, curling her hair and pulling it up into a complicated updo. She finished the look with a little stroke of mascara and a film of clear lip gloss, all done. Odessa exclaimed as she admired her work. Melina smiled at her reflection in the mirror as she hugged Odessa's legs from her sitting position in front of the vanity. Thanks, Luna Odessa. I love it. Odessa's smile pulled down into a frown. I thought I told you to skip the title, Melina. You can use that only when it's necessary, but you're family now, so no formalities between us. Melina pulled away from the hug and stood to her feet to face Odessa with a twinkling in her brown eyes. All right, Odessa. Odessa grinned and pressed a kiss against her head. Come, let's get you in your dress. The guests are waiting for the celebrant. We don't want to be tardy. Okay. Melina scratched the bridge of her nose nervously as she watched Odess
Melina stretched in front of Odessa as they stood side by side on the sparring mat. Desmond, Sawyer, Max, and some other warriors surrounded the ring as they spectated. Odessa stood with her hands on her hips as she watched her do a few complex poses, bending her body in weird, painful-looking angles. She was stalling. Melina, I know what you're doing. We don't have all day. I am just following the normal warm-up process. Okay, don't want to pull a muscle in the middle of a drop kick. She jumped multiple times and shook her arms. Okay, I'm ready. Now. Come at me. Odessa chuckled and brought her hands to her face in a fighting stance. Melina mimicked her as she was about to launch an attack with her fist. Melina suddenly waved her hands. Wait, wait. What? Odessa asked her, patience wearing thin. The little girl was insufferable. It's a wonder how Max was able to handle her. How do I know you're not going to pull some Goddess Voodoo and trick me? I'm not. Odessa said, with a
Emma arrived at the mouth of the ominous cave, a sinister smile still plastered on her face from her earlier brawl with Odessa. Her dark boots stepped into a shallow puddle. Causing it to splash water everywhere, the sound echoing through the cave and scaring the scurrying animals away. Her dark eyes scanned the place for the woman who was supposed to play an important role in her plans. She felt a surge of satisfaction, the remnants of her recent victory still tingling in her veins. You have returned. A croaky voice said from the shadows, causing her to steer in its direction. The sound sent a chill down her spine. But she relished it, knowing she had the upper hand. Yes, I have. Emma replied, her voice steady and confident, betraying none of the adrenaline still coursing through her. And you have come back empty-handed. The woman scanned Emma from head to toe, not finding the particular ingredient she had told her to bring. Her eyes narrowed in suspicion and disappointme
Everyone around was shocked when they heard her reject him. Everyone knew about her crush on him, even though they never spoke about it. Now, she was rejecting him after being given the chance to be with him. “What do you mean by you're rejecting me? Odessa, did I do something wrong?” Lucas asked,
The soft sounds of a car halting could be heard in front of the apartment building. As a sports car pulled over, the door was pushed open, and a beautiful leg covered in sneakers stepped out of the car. Looking up at the building with a bright smile on her face, Odessa was holding a large box in
Odessa walked into the pack house, which was strangely bigger on the outside than it was on the inside. It looked so beautiful. And she wondered how they allowed this many people in the pack house. “The ground floor is always very busy. Please follow me, my lady.” Ge
I just wish I could get a second chance.” The words echoed in a deep, dark void. Everything seemed still and calm for a while before a bright light started piercing through the darkness. A gasp was heard as Odessa suddenly sat up in bed, looking around her as she touched herself frantically. “W
