Brooklyn.The night wind howls at me.My hands wrap around myself as I try to warm up from the harsh cold, but it’s hard to do so when you’re wearing a thin, short top. I truly curse my choice of clothing from three days ago.At least the attic was warmer than this.Soon, I reach the north she spoke of, and my heart beats louder when I see that it leads to a forest. There’s a clearing, but walking through it late at night…And I don’t even know what time it is. The moon is starting to come out, and the stars are fully out. It should be nearing 9 PM.You’ve killed three people in less than an hour—what is there to fear?I take a deep breath and propel my legs to move forward. The further I walk in, the clearer the clearing becomes.With no sense of direction, as the cold bites my skin and my feet threaten to break apart, I keep walking—because all that matters right now is my Landon.The more distance I leave behind, the more I begin to feel the pull. The mate pull. The pack pull. The
Brooklyn.Fiona’s —with eyes still and open— body crashes on me. My anger satiates for a bit, and what I just did crashes on me next. I scream, pushing her off me with a scramble. I pull my legs to my chest, my hands going around them. Without realizing, I bring my hands to cover my strangled cries, but when the horrid scent of her blood inflicts my nostrils, I scream. Gawking, my hands begin to shake as I stare at them. My gaze blurs, and I blink multiple times. Oh, goddess… what have I done?What have I done??What have I done???The last look lingers in her eyes. The raw fear when my claws went around her bone and the gasp when I tore it out. They haunt me. It’s evident on her face. Not being able to stare at it anymore, I let my head fall on my knees, bloodied hands going around me in a protective shield as I rock myself into oblivion. “I killed someone,” I whisper. “I killed someone.” It is my new worship song. I become so lost in it that I have no idea when someone waltzes
Brooklyn.She enters.She paralyzes.She ogles in shock.The tray of medical items she brings to vampire my blood falls to the floor, sending the items in them spiralling. My gaze doesn't once leave her.She is a big fool.Before her stupid scientist brain can finally comprehend what's going on, she's on the floor with the syringe in her neck.She growls loudly and I hear the sharp sounds of claws extracting, but before it can touch me…I'm up and a few steps away from her in seconds.How am I able to do that??I don't know, don't ask.Like Logan has been teaching me, I observe her yank the syringe from her neck with a painful grunt. Her blood spills before the skin barrier starts to make love with each other once again.My lips pull down in a frown.Right. I forgot I am dealing with a freaking, bloody full werewolf.She takes a fighting stance and I watch in surprise. She knows how to fight too??? As if knowing what I am thinking, she smirks, her head doing the weird stupid thing fi
Brooklyn.It's harder than I thought.I've been at it for a few hours now, yet nothing. I bite on my bruised lips as I give it one more slash with a tired breath. Panting, my hands fall on my lap with a sigh. The grumbling of my stomach reminds me that I've not eaten for almost two days and it's the longest I've gone without food in my life. I salivate my parched lips —I need water and my scratchy throat agrees with me. “Landon.” I shut my eyes and repeat, “Landon.” I hear footsteps approaching and my eyelids snap open. My breath picks up and I puff out my hair. Sitting up, I make sure my head covers the work I've been doing in order not to get caught. The door slides down and they ascend the steps. I try to level my breathing before he shows. To my surprise, he looks worried.“Fiona isn't home.” Rushing over, he knees beside me and picks up the chains, unlocking it. I watch with wide, panicked eyes. “What are you doing?”He barely glance up at me as he mumbles, “we should not ha
Brooklyn.His eyes meet mine, only for a second. He's ashamed. Fucking coward. The shock and betrayal I feel is replaced with anger. I thought I could trust him, only to get this in return. If anything, I'm glad I know now even though it hurts. What a piece of shit.“I promise to string you first,” I spit every word out, careful and sharp, making sure he hears and can comprehend what I say. “I'll make your mate watch as I tear out your throat, then make her suffer from your absence before beheading her.”Fiona eyes flash and she's before me in seconds, a loud sound of flesh hitting flesh vibrates the room. My face turns to the side in mild shock. The fucking bitch hit me. My ginger hair acts as a shield from the impact and I lift up my eyes to her. Her hands fist beside her.She points a finger at me, eyes showing black. “Say that one more time, I dare you.”Metallic taste stains my mouth and I spit it out by her feet. She has the audacity to look surprised that I actually did that
Brooklyn.It's been three days.Three whole days.Three freaking days that I've been locked up here with a stupid metal chain. I have been watched whenever I want to pee like I'm some fucking pup who will pee on herself and not in the WC.Every morning, before I wake up, Fiona comes to open the window and I don't know when she closes it because I always pass out before then. She feeds me once a day and I only know she adds whatever drug to keep me out.On the second day, I noticed the inside of my elbow and my wrists felt sore. I do not use it, so how? Which feeds me the conclusion; she takes my blood. So, I decided, I'm not going to eat whatever she feeds me anymore. Let's see how she keeps me alive and takes my blood.That morning —on the third day, Fiona brings in a plate of steaming pasta and despite my burning hunger, I ignore the meal. As usual, she gives me a soft smile with her stupid kind eyes. I scoff inwardly, what a pretender. “It's a beautiful morning, isn't it?” She g
