The word settles heavily in the room.

Soon.

Not later.

Not eventually.

Soon.

And judging from the expression on everyone’s faces, they all understand exactly how dangerous that single word is.

Grayson’s arm tightens around Malisha instinctively.

“What does that mean?” Leo immediately asks.

Malisha shakes her head slowly. “I do not know.”

But that is not entirely true.

Because deep down?

She thinks she does know.

And that terrifies her.

The voice has become more confident lately.

More patient.

  • Reclaiming His Rejected Hybrid Mate    The Looming Retrieval

    The walk downstairs is painfully quiet. Not because there’s nothing to say, but because there’s far too much. Malisha can feel everyone watching her and Grayson’s joined hands, even though nobody comments. Well… almost nobody.Mirabel leans toward Kimora and whispers loudly enough for everyone to hear: “They are definitely getting married.”Malisha nearly trips. “Mirabel!”“What? I’m just saying what everyone’s thinking.”“No, you’re saying nonsense.”Grayson looks far too amused. “I think she has a point.”Malisha glares. “You are not helping.”“I wasn’t trying to.”Sage walks stiffly ahead, and John notices immediately. John notices everything lately.The dining room is already occupied. David stands near the window, deep in thought, while Beatrix sits at the table with papers spread before her. The moment they enter, Beatrix’s eyes land on Malisha.“You should still be resting.”“I was resting.”“You were arguing,” Leo mutters.“That too.”Beatrix pinches the bridge of her nose and

  • Reclaiming His Rejected Hybrid Mate    Caught Sleeping In The Same Room

    Malisha wakes up with her head banging. She lets out a gasp when she sees Grayson sleeping on the chair he was seated on. Grayson finally wakes up. "What are you doing here?" she asks. He rubs his eyes. "I slept here." "I can see that," she whisper yelled. "Why?" "Can you remember what happened last night?" She narrows her eyes at him. "Did anything happen last night?" The expression on Grayson's face immediately changes to that of amusement. "It depends on what you mean by that," he says. Malisha narrows her eyes at him. "Calm down," he says with a grin on his face. "If anything of that sort happened, neither of us will be in our clothes or even in a seperate bed." "Shut up!"It makes him laugh even more because he can tell that she is flustered. "Can you leave the room, now?" "Why?" "Because I do not want anyone seeing you in here with me," she replies with a 'duh' look on her face. "Why?" "Are you really asking me that?" "Yes." "Because I do not want anyone to see t

  • Reclaiming His Rejected Hybrid Mate    The First Confession

    Malisha sits on the edge of the bed when the room is finally empty. The room is quiet, and it is exactly what she needs. The last thing she wants or needs is someone encroaching her and making her feel like she is about to lose her mind. And as much as she loved everyone, that is exactly how she feels. Her fingers tighten around the blanket beneath her as she stares ahead and thinks about what could have been. She can feel it in her bones that the time for the war is drawing nearer. Her chest tightens at that, and her mind wanders to Grayson. The way things have felt different with him. Could she love him? Her heart beats at that, and she shakes her head repeatedly. "No," she mutters under her breath. There is no way she can have that strong feeling for him. "Absolutely not."As she continues denying it, her heart pounds even more. Her loud heartbeat makes her irritated. Her body feels like it is betraying her and it makes her pause because for him, she has considered yielding to

    "They are still bothering her even in her sleep," John says with a quiet voice. "How did you know?" Malisha's father, David asks. "Because I can feel it."There is silence as everyone looks at Malisha. The state she had been found in was not one they appreciated, but at least she had calmed down. "Will she be okay?" Ophelia asks as Leo looks at their sister. "Yes, of course," Beatrix says. "The forbidden magic obviously took a toll on her coupled up with the insistent voice in her. That is not a good combination, but she will pull through." As if she can tell that they are talking about her, her eyes flicker. "She is waking up," Iris mutters which makes everyone round up around her. She looks at her parents, siblings, friends, Sage, John and Grayson then she mutters, "Can I get a little space, please?" They move back a little which makes her roll her eyes. "I think I need more space." "We are not giving that to you, yet," Leo says. She sighs and sits up. "Okay then. What do

    Malisha sits on her bed thinking about how bad today was. Can I really do this? she asks herself. Can Grayson really survive this?"He can," the voice with in her replies. "If you welcome us in." Malisha's wolf, belle, growls lightly.The entity ignores her wolf. "You can pretend as much as you want, but you know I am right. Grayson cannot survive this unless you welcome us." "I can't trust you," Malisha says. "Everything you all have done has come back to bite me in the face.""That is only because you have not actually worked with us," the voice says. "You have conditioned your mind to believe that we are the bad people." "Which you are," Malisha says. "You have not shown any indication of being good. "If anything, there is no reason why I am still speaking to you." "Because you are contemplating making the move," the voice says. "What you witnessed today made you know that coming to us might as well be the way, the truth and the life." Malisha looks at the ceiling trying to

    There is an insistent voice at the back of Malisha's head telling her she is going to regret this, but she just wants to feel. She has been denied of feeling like this for a long time. She even put a halt on the friendship between she and John when her mother told her of her suspicions. Grayson o
