Chapter 20
"Oh, you're back," I smile as Wes leads the way to the kitchen, followed by a pack of werewolves. Yi is bed-headed, his disheveled black hair standing straight up. His eyes are bloodshot, as if he just had a bad night's sleep.
"Are you better now?" asks Wes with concern.
"Yes." I gesture toward the dining room just off the kitchen. "Just go sit in there and I'll bring the food in soon."
"You're amazing, Mona," Wes laughs, walking over and wrapping an arm around my waist. I stiffen a little, amazed at how completely different it feels when Xavier touches me. Xavier tends to send sparks of flame through my body, while Wes freezes me like an ice cube. With another carefree smile, he sneaks up and kisses me on the cheek.
I pat him on the arm, slightly angry but still playful. "What are you thinking, trying to steal a kiss from me?" I ask in a teasing tone. But inwardly, I wonder why, exactly, I don't fee

"You don't understand," Wes begins, "having us for a week is the ultimate trophy. Our wives get to brag the whole time they have us. Our appearance is above the ordinary, especially Xavier's crazy hair, and we are famous among Moonlight viewers. We are like what you would call "trophy wives," but we are temporary and also men, of course. ""Trophy men..." I chuckle softly."I don't know what we're going to do without Xavier... it'll be a scandal among the women," Jake shakes his head ruefully, "let's hope none of us mate too."I scan the area for any hint of Ray, then slowly lean in. "Why do women even bid on Ray? He's practically a monster, and so rude to boot!" I whisper, my voice lingering on the wind before it reaches their ears. Wes bursts out laughing, Xavier soon joining in. Jake is the only one who manages to stay calm, answering my question softly."You haven't seen him among the ladies...and he's practically a mirror image of Xavier, minus the hair and a few other details.

Wandering through the corridors, I suddenly discover the faint figure of a man lingering against the stone wall. He turns, as if waiting for someone, slumping until he is sitting on the floor. There are a few moments of complete and utter stillness, then he rises regally to his feet. The lights suddenly go out, dying against the crushing darkness, as he flips a switch. He stops, then starts walking. Not sure why, I follow him, almost hypnotized by the footsteps echoing in my head.At the end of the corridors, a faint light lingers, intensifying with each fear-filled step. My heart seems to beat even more erratically as we walk, my steps mirroring his. As the light shines on the man, the outline begins to illuminate and I instantly know who it is. He enters the room, deliberately leaving the door wide open, and I enter."Ray," I say softly as the man stands before me."This is the library. Sorry about the lights, by the w

~Xavier~"Do you really think I should?" I ask, looking into Jake's deadly serious eyes."Well, we don't want your fans boycotting the club just because you're no longer here," he answers clearly, "this way you can take care of it yourself.""Fine," I huff, "but you better not be auctioning me off in secret while I'm there. I know you...you'll do anything for a little extra cash." Jake is our moneyman, professional with a wild side. I have no idea why the girls like him. Obviously, they can tell that the green wads of paper in their hands attract him more than them."Don't worry, I'm not inhuman enough to do this... but it's still a good idea. Just imagine! We'd bring you 100,000 bucks for your last bid. They all bid like crazy." Said Jake dreamily, running a hand through his short crystal white hair.Without another word, I storm out of the kitchen, wanting to avoid one of Jake'

"I hate you!" I say angrily, tears flowing profusely. I feel like a mess. Everything is falling apart. I know her movements are normal for a psychic being converted, but I'm still scared. She could still die.I step back beside her as another scream rips through the air, desperately wanting to hold her. Whispers of agony are in the air, enough that I can feel it, just beyond my ability to change the pain. Tears now cover her face like a mask, running down her neck, her cheeks soaked.I wrinkle my nose as his smell turns black, repulsive even. Ray backs away a little too, noticing the skunk stench she now carries.Suddenly, her eyes go glassy and she is completely still. My blood runs cold."You know you killed her," I look steely into her big green eyes, "she's going to disappear forever." I turn away and clutch my head to his heart. Only the faintest whisper of a heartbeat remains.

~Mona~Unknown, boiling blood flows through my veins.This is not the first time I've wished for death, but this time the desire is much, much stronger. Every breath I take allows the frigid air to enter my lungs, freezing my insides and fighting the heat that envelops me. I feel the extreme burn, then the excruciating cold. I am bathed in excruciating agony, every second pure torture.Thinking is impossible, the pain being the only emotion that eats away at my mind.My tears are like little ice pellets, running down my cheeks as I writhe. Once again, an all-too-familiar sense of doom washes over me, penetrating through the fire and ice. I am a lost cause. Death waits once again.

Any tranquility it brings defeats, exploding in my belly like fir

The werewolf takes me into an embrace, which somehow seems gentler. His crushing embrace doesn't hurt like it sometimes does; only comforts me. Sparks of warmth erupt, and suddenly I feel safer than ever. Is this what a real hug is supposed to feel like...??I unconsciously close my eyes, swept away by his obvious devotion. Usually I would feel angry at his easily displayed desire, but now I don't care.I've almost lost it."Ooh," a teasing voice bursts out behind us, "we're going to watch a love scene." I jump hastily away from him, suddenly aware of how close my face has come to his. My lips burn to be touched, stinging with disappointment at the chance that was lost. Even my body fights me, begging me to give in to my desire. But I must be stronger.Jake laughs at my embarrassment, being able to see through my appearance. "Look," he continues mockingly, "she's blushing." I cover my face with

Long red hair dances in front of her shoulder, straight and not at all frizzy. Her face is a perfect heart shape, with a pair of extremely bright green eyes and full red lips. Her body is slim and much taller than mine, about five inches added to her long, enviously curved legs. She has a bit more chest than me and long arms with slender fingers. Her skin is tanned and smooth.But why is she wearing the same clothes I wore yesterday? And why do I see glaring similarities between me and her; in our eyes, our hair and our faces?I reach out and slowly touch my lips. The strange, breathtaking girl follows suit, mirroring my actions. I smile, and she smiles too, revealing a set of perfect white teeth. Tugging at my hair, I watch her as she copies me, in perfect sync with my movements.Who is that girl behind the glass? She obviously knows what I'm thinking, to be able to copy my movements with such grace. Every move she make
The Alpha's Princess Chapter 28
A purple sun is cast over dark, blood-red waters, murmurs of screams still clamoring to leave the horizon. A castle like shadow stretches across the lake, the color of night. True terror is in the air, mixed with fear, pain and longing.A man comes and goes in a dingy room, mumbling words that must not be repeated. Bookcases stretch across every wall, a single door creating the only space. Soft armchairs as soft as silk hang out, and a tiny coffee table sits in the middle of it all. Only one other person is in the room, listening intently to every sentence he spits out after a series of expletives."I can't believe this happened..." the man, face unknown, turns to his companion, "I made a huge mistake.""Everyone makes mistakes," the stocky man with slightly graying hair the size of a dwarf, doesn't even really care about his situation. However, the tall man with the veiled face is very distraught.H
