LOGINRhiannon’s POV~ I jolted awake with a gasp that turned into a coughing fit. My lungs seized, sending sharp pain radiating through my chest with each hack. The dream, nightmare, or whatever the hell that had been with Aunt Elena holding a gun, dissolved like smoke. None of it had been real. The p

But all I could see was Rhiannon. “Get out!” I drew my hand away immediately like I had been burnt. Jennifer's eyes flew open, confused. Hurt even. "Did I do something—" "Get out." "What?" The hunger that had been in my voice vanished. Now there was only ice. "I said. Get. Out!” "But I thoug
Chapter 8: KIERAN’S POV~ Jennifer Chen stepped inside. She was carrying a tray of coffee. She was beautiful. I could admit that. Objectively.
