LOGINI disconnected the call and looked out the window. My mind still desperately trying to wrap my head around the news I've just received. We were miles aways from the pack house however I was still on high alert and anxious of mines."Sexy." Her little fragile arms wrapped around my waist. Her scent and touch almost immediately putting my mind to rest."I guess I do look damn good in this suit huh?" I quickly switched my focus away from the news and refocused on the woman behind me."Mhm." She groaned against my back.I removed myself from her hold and pulled her to the front of me. Such beauty rested in my arms, all mine and mines only. Even the littlest of makeup was unnecessary. She was beautiful without-What the hell is she wearing?RENEE'S POVI finished up my shower and turned off the water. I reached for my towel to dry my soaked skin before I stepped fully out. I wiped away the steam that was now resting on the mirror.I reached on to the bathroom shelf and picked up my underwe
"Parfait." Ty looked at me like I was a finishing result of a project. "A work of art." I felt different, out of the ordinary I thought. I looked at June and Ty. They looked as amazed as they stared at me in awe and satisfaction."Come, come. Look at yourself." She helped me out of my chair, since this dress was impossible to move about in, and guided me over to the floor length mirror.I made eye contact with the person in the mirror. I had to admit, she was beautiful. I was almost skeptical about believing that this woman who was staring in to my eyes was me."Like turning an angel into a god." Ty whispered to me.Perfect ruby red lips, and flawless looking skin. I touched my hair, admiring the perfect low side bun that June created."Oh no darling, dont touch." Adele pushed my hand away. "Now all you need is confidence to go with that beauty."I looked at her reflection through the mirror as I absorbed her words of truth. She was right. Show them my worth. Show them confidence. I s
"Alot?" He questioned as my eyes wondered around the room. "Some what." I toyed."I know you will not remember a lot of the Alpha's and Luna's here at this moment, nor will I expect you to.""So many names that I could barely remember my own." We shared a laugh as I blocked out the staring crowd around us."It happens." He smiled."Can I ask you something? Bane, he seemed a little defensive when you greeted Amira. Why?" I whispered."Well, as any Alpha, our jealousy can be-" "Fucking crazy?" I whispered."If thats how you want to put it." He laughed. "But for Bane to be put into a large room with a bunch of werewolves with his unmarked woman, everyone could easily be seen as a threat.""Oh. Even if you're mated already?" "No one is NOT a threat until she is marked for him.""Why not mark her then?" I asked. He spun me around before he pulled me into him again."You are asking the wrong one." He laughed.We danced together for a few more moments before other people decided to join us o
"Safety precautions? Dragging us in here due to a safety precaution?" Renee questioned. "Okay, thats it. What the fuck is going on? I ignored the weird shit for way too long.""Weird? Whats weird?" I tried to crack a smile to clear the air."What? Are you blind to the weird shit in here?" Renee questioned."I see nothing weird. Renee?" Come on Keira, speak. Renee looked away, refusing to involve herself with the matter. I guess she was tired of hiding the secret."Renee, look." I ran my hand across my face. "There is something about....this...family.""Drug cartel?""Drug cartel?" Renee and I questioned at the same time."Yeah. Secrets, sneaking around, mysterious drug shit going on.""No honey." Renee laughed. "Renee, just tell the girl." "Tell me what?""Just...a little secret." I down played it."Little?" Renee commented. "I dont think you considered it little when you found out." "Found out what?" Renee pushed."Tell her. She dont want to find out like you did."TELL ME WHAT?" "FI
My back pressed firmly against the wall, I closed my wry eyes in hopes that this was all dream or hallucination. Opening them back up, I realized this was all very real.Two pairs of eyes watched me in anticipation of my next move. What can I do? Where can I go? The only reasonable exit was being blocked by this...monster.Truthfully, I probably wouldn't take that exit, even if I was given the opportunity to do so. The house was probably full of unidentified creatures lurking in the halls.Maybe the window? Hell I can afford to break a limb or two.A conversation between Renee and Bane was continuing on but all I could hear were mumbles and slurs. Sort of the sound Charlie brown's parents made when they spoke.A aching pain shot up my spine when I backed up against the wall when eyes suddenly switched to me again.I should have kept my ass in Philadelphia.Suddenly my bedroom was now a hot box full of disbelief and fear. Nobody knew how deep down I wanted to kick Bane's ass but I had
RENNA'S POVThe dungeon air grew thick with Samuel's sobs and the scent of fear. Blair's knife hand hovered, ready to carve out the traitor's tongue as I stood frozen, my hand still resting on Blair's arm.Before he could cut it, out of the blue he went rigid.His gold eyes glazed over for a fraction of a second, the unmistakable sign of a mindlink. His jaw clenched so hard I saw a muscle leap beneath his skin then the knife trembled in his grip, not from hesitation, but from the force of whatever message was searing through his skull."No," he growled under his breath. Not to me but to whoever was on the other end of the link.Samuel whimpered, pressing himself flatter against the stone floor, sensing the shift in his Alpha's energy but not understanding it.Blair's gaze snapped back into focus. He looked at me, really looked at me and for the first time since we'd entered this dungeon, I saw something other than rage in his eyes. Something that might have been reluctance."Get him
I woke up the next morning feeling the weight of Felix' arm on top of me. I opened my eyes slightly, diffused sunlight coming in through the cracks of the blinds, casting streaks of light on the wall. To escape from the light, I moved closer to Felix, hiding my face in his chest. When I did that, h
I only stayed an hour with Kent before making up an excuse to leave. It wasn't that I didn't enjoy his company or that I wanted to be alone, my mind was just elsewhere and I was afraid he'd ask what's the matter.I had this weird feeling weighing on my chest the entire lunch after I dropped Blair o
"We spent this whole week planning the trip and getting it ready for approval from the Dean, and I am happy to inform you that it was been approved. Now, I should tell you, the purpose of this trip is for you to learn. That being said, you can expect a written assessment when we come back. Professo
"We'll see everything, all three wings. Of course the paintings wing will be the most interesting to you, but the other two are just as spectacular."He was standing in front of me now, scrolling through his phone with a cheeky smile on his face. He then clicked on a song, the R&B music filling the
