"I am so sorry." I said miserably as I watched him stiffen, his eyes turning glassy as if he had gone numb. "I was too late. I am so sorry." I whispered and buried my face in his chest, breathing in the now familiar scent of his. He was silent for so long and I nearly jumped out of my skin when I felt a heavy arm wrap around my waist. He buried his face in the crook of my neck and froze. "A hybrid." He whispered against my skin. "A monster. I am truly a monster now." He said, his voice sounded shattered as if he were fighting some inner demons and I felt his body shake. His hands tightened around me, his fingers clenching around my waist. "I am a monster, Ayrin." He growled.I stiffened.He called me Ayrin. I didn't know why but that hurt me. I pulled my face away from his chest and pushed him back until he was forced to let go. I jumped out of the bed and stumbled to the bathroom, pulling the door closed behind me. I looked at my reflection in the mirror. My eyes looked pained. Wh
I sat down on the floor, trying to think of an escape plan. "How the hell are we going to get out?!" I shouted after some time. I was frustrated because the damned organisation was so well guarded that it was impossible to escape without getting caught. I snarled and jumped up, clutching my head with my hands. Impossible! "I can help you." He said from behind me. I groaned and turned to face him.He was fresh out of a shower, wet hair slicked back and a few locks curling at his neck, enticingly. He was wearing one of my oversized sweatshirts which was too tight for him, molding to his abs and his chest like second skin. His features were sharp, his nose straight and his eyebrows arched. His lips were slightly thin at the edges and it made him look too damn handsome and not to mention those gray orbs. He blinked and I realized that I was staring. "Uh.. what did you say?" I asked, trying hard not to cringe because of how breathless I sounded. "I can take us out of here." He said, h
Devon snarled and launched himself at the guard, his body changing right in front of my eyes until all that was left of him were the silver eyes on the huge black wolf that was tearing away viciously at the guard. I was shocked but I didn't waste time as I quickly pulled out my gun and kicked the other guard who had reached for me. His gun flew out of his hands and I didn't hesitate to shoot his leg. He howled as he went down.I picked up his machine gun and turned to face the third guard but he was not where he had been moments ago. I looked around sharply until I saw him moving slowly towards where Devon was clawing at the first guard. He had his gun trained on Devon's wolf form. I cursed and rushed for him but it was too late. A deafening sound came from the gun as I watched the bullets hit the wolf's black fur. He growled and his form trembled, his fur dripping with blood as he turned to look at the guard who was still pointing the gun at him, I shouted and fired at the guard blin
I somehow managed to keep my eyes away from the six feet of muscled young, male werewolf who was standing in front of me as naked as the day he was born. It was a relief that his back was to me so I didn't get the full view. I gulped as I squeezed my eyes shut. It was not uncommon to see naked bodies in Etherea occasionally in your life because it was a werewolf realm but some bodies.. damn. I got onto my feet and tried to ignore the constant drumming in my head. Damn, the guard hit me too hard. "You're ready, Agent?" He asked as I came to stand beside him, trying to keep my eyes on the surface of the lake and not anywhere else. His question had me going rigid and I quickly peeked at his face. He was not looking at me."What?" I asked. "We have to jump through the portal, keep your head straight." He barked. My cheeks burned with embarrassment. He knew I was uncomfortable because of him. That damned hybrid knew."Yes, Agent." I whispered meekly and stared down at the lake. Shit
I sat there numb for a few minutes. The screams were so filled with pain that it made goosebumps rise on my body. I just couldn't handle the fact that someone was in pain while I sat there. I pulled myself up and slowly rubbed my eyes. One look at the clock said it was 8 in the morning. I had to go to the office and inform Winterlash about all that had happened in the human world.My eyes fell back to the phone and I shivered. I had to do something to forget the phone call, I decided as I took off for my room. I changed into a gray cotton shirt which hung loose on me and buttoned on the front, a pair of tight black slacks and a braided beige belt. I stepped into my all black running shoes and pulled my hair back in a tight ponytail. I reached down under my bed and took out the tranquilliser gun and my lethal 9 mm which had silver bullets, tucking them into my thigh holster. I was ready. My pickup was waiting for me and I quickly got in, starting it down the slope and onto the road.
"Why am I summoned?" I asked him softly. "I don't know that. I was just told to appoint my best agent." Winterlash replied. "And you appointed me?" I squeaked. Why?! I wanted to scream."You're the best we have." He shrugged, his eyes gleaming at me and I knew the bastard was enjoying this. "But.. but I can't go! I have to go back to the human realm and rescue those creatures, you have to understand I can't go!" I exclaimed, thinking about the poor creatures and the vampires trapped in the organisation. Winterlash didn't reply, his eyes lowered and I felt a bit unnerved by his reaction. "The portals. They are not sealed, are they?" I asked him, dreading his answer. When he just gave a small nod, I felt my stomach lurch. "What about the creatures, Winterlash?" I asked him softly. He didn't answer. "I can't believe it. We can't abandon them! You have to open the portals. I have to save them!" I hissed at him but he just ignored me. My eyes burned and I felt a stray tear roll dow
The grey eyes burned me down bit by bit and all I could do was stare. His dark hair were styled impeccably but one black lock spilled on his brow as if it couldn't be controlled, he was wearing a black tunic that gaped open till his mid chest, showing off the rich golden skin of his, the tight dark pants molded to his muscular thighs and legs perfectly emphasising.. his power.He looked so different, nothing like the half naked agent wearing threadbare jeans. I knew I was ogling him but I couldn't pull my eyes away from him. "Are you both done looking at each other?" Xavier drawled, breaking the moment. Devon straightened and looked away from me. "I will show you to your rooms, come with me." He said curtly and started walking towards the stairs made of flawless marble which led upward in a long, straight sweep, then divided into two, both arms leading to the gallery above.I breathed deeply and followed him with Xavier and Ivan behind me. They were busy in some conversation so I qu
"What happened?" I asked him, ignoring the deadly look he was giving me. "I hurt you!" He hissed furiously as he took a swig from the bottle, his body swaying backwards. He was drunk. "I hurt you and it hurt me.. and I don't want to feel anything." He whispered, staring at my face intensely, my heart skipped a beat at his words. "What?" I rasped and watched with wide eyes as he staggered towards me, until we were standing nose to nose. "I hurt you, Nesta." He said softly, his eyes returning to their original colour. He looked so vulnerable. I couldn't stop my hand from reaching his cheek as I caressed his face, rubbing his cheek with my fingers."It's okay, Devon. You didn't hurt me." I whispered. My eyes never leaving his. His large hand covered mine over his cheek and I instantly felt the wetness of his blood. I jerked my hand back and caught his. It was covered in blood, an angry red slash on his palm. I looked up at him but he wasn't staring at his hand, his eyes were pinned o
