MasukRhiannon’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
Something dangerous flashed in his eyes. "Then I'll keep you here. In this hospital. Under guard. Until whoever tried to kill you is caught and dealt with." He tilted his head. "Is that really what you want? To be trapped in a hospital bed while I hunt down the person who set that fire?" No. God, n

Chapter 5: RHIANNON’S POV~ I swear on my mother’s grave, I wanted to die. I did. I wanted the earth to open up and swallow me whole. But I couldn’t. Not yet. Not until Marcus was in the ground with me. Not until the stupid bitch, Emilia was screaming his name while I watched her bleed out. The
