LOGINShe let out a gasp as I spun her around and pressed her Firmly between the wall and my chest, loving the way she fit perfectly into my arms. She had no idea how badly I wanted to consume All of her. “Let go of me you bastard! You're harassing me!” She screamed and I chuckled Before grabbed her hands and holding them up above her head. She moaned slightly and I knew I was affecting her as much as she was affecting me. “It seems you don't understand what it means to be claimed by me. What it means to be mine and I don't mind showing you over and over again till every part of your body aches for me. Now be a good girl and arch your back”... ~ She was only meant to be a game, he was only meant to be a means of survival but when lust and desire gets in the way, the tables are turned quickly and Raeliya is caught in the middle of two brothers who want nothing more than to make her theirs. The only difference was one betrayed her and called it fate; the other bled for her and called it love. As power shifts, alliances crumble and secrets long buried rise to the surface, Raeliya must choose between the love that broke her and the obsession That might destroy her.
View More~RAELIYA~I held him and waited. The cave was quiet except for our breathing. His came first, ragged and desperate, then mine, matching it breath for breath. His body was warm now, alive in my arms, and I couldn't stop touching him, his face, his chest and his hands, making sure he was real and stayed."Raeliya." His voice was rough, barely a whisper. "Raeliya, I'm here.""I know." I pressed my forehead to his. "I know. I'm not letting go."He tried to sit up and I helped him, my arms around him, holding him steady. He looked around the cave, confusion in his eyes."The sickness?" He touched his chest. "It's gone. I can feel it. It's really gone."I nodded, tears streaming down my face. "The goddess was merciful. She gave you a new mark. You're free, Kaelric. Free of everything."He stared at me for a long moment. Then he pulled me close and held me like he'd never let go and we stayed like that until the moon began to set.Dante found us at the cave entrance as dawn broke.He stopped
~RAELIYA~Three weeks, that's how long we had to wait for the full moon.Three weeks of preparing, praying, and watching over his body. The hybrid elders kept him preserved with magic I didn't understand, his cold form lying on a bed of herbs and ancient symbols. I visited him every day, sat beside him, talked to him and told him everything I should have said when he could still hear me."I'm sorry," I whispered on the tenth night. "I'm so sorry I didn't listen. I'm sorry I let my pride keep me away. I'm sorry you died thinking I hated you."He didn't answer, he never did but I kept talking anyway.Dante found me there most nights. He never said much, just sat with me in silence, keeping vigil over the brother he'd failed and the woman he'd tried to protect. The guilt in his eyes matched my own.On the twentieth night, he finally spoke."The people confirmed the ritual. It's real and it’s possible." He paused. "But Raeliya, it comes with a price."I looked at him. "What price?""Blood
~KAELRIC~My scream didn't stop, it tore out of me, raw and endless, filling the cells, the corridor, and the valley above. Guards rushed in and hands reached for me, tried to pull me away from him. I fought them, clawing, kicking, and refusing to let go."Get away from him! Don't touch him!""Raeliya, please—""Get away!"Someone grabbed my arms, pinned them behind my back. Someone else lifted Kaelric's body from my lap. I watched them carry him out, his arm dangling, his face peaceful, and something inside me shattered completely."No. No, bring him back. Bring him back!"They held me as I screamed, as I fought, and as I fell apart piece by piece. Minutes passed, maybe hours, I don't know, time had stopped meaning anything.Eventually, the screaming stopped and the fighting stopped. I just sat there on the cold stone floor, staring at nothing, empty.Dante found me like that. He knelt in front of me, his face wet with tears I'd never seen him cry before. His hands reached for mine,
~RAELIYA~I didn't sleep that night. Dante's words played over and over in my head, a relentless loop I couldn't escape. “You need to see him. Before it's too late.” I tossed and turned, punched my pillow, stared at the ceiling until my eyes burned but nothing helped, nothing silenced the voice that kept asking what if.What if he was telling the truth?What if I was wrong?What if he died and I never knew?By dawn, I couldn't fight it anymore. I got dressed slowly, mechanically, my body moving while my mind raced. The walk to the cells felt longer than ever before and each step heavier than the last. The guards saw me coming and stepped aside without a word. They'd been expecting this, everyone had been expecting this except me.The corridor stretched before me, torchlight flickering against stone. I'd walked it once before, eight days ago, and turned back but this time I kept going until I got to the last cell, then I stopped.Through the bars, I could see him. He was slumped agains
~KAELRIC~I carried Raeliya through the forest, her body limp in my arms.The cave wasn't far now. I could feel it calling to me, the place where we'd first met, where the mark had been placed. If there was any hope for her, any chance at all, it lived there.Then suddenly, I heard loud screams. I
~RAELIYA~I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at my hands, trying to process everything.I was a hybrid, my parents were killed, and I was stolen as a child. The people around me were my real family, and Dante, the quiet man I'd trusted for years, had known all of it.He hadn't left after the oth
~KAELRIC~ Three more attacks came in the following week. Each time, the strange wolves struck fast and retreated faster. They never engaged fully, never tried to push deep into our territory. They just... tested, probed and probed for weaknesses. The pack grew restless, whispers started and quest
~CHASE~I was in my room, staring at the ceiling, when a raven landed on my windowsill. It wasn’t a normal raven, its eyes glowed faintly, and when it opened its beak, Morgan's voice came out."Meet me tonight at the empty space near the east border. It's time."The bird burst into smoke and vanish
