"Please..." I muttered the words as he got close.

I didn't even know what exactly I was begging for—don't kill me. Stay away from me. Let me go.

I just knew I didn't want to die.

But he kept coming. His anger rolled off him in suffocating waves, as tangible as the scent of cedarwood, smoke, and whiskey that clung to him.

When he lifted the knife above me—the very one he'd used in killing five men—my lips parted in horror, afraid he was going to kill me. Maybe, he 'did' want to kill me.

But instead of driving the blade to my face, he drove it right into the wall beside me, merely an inch from my face and with a grunt so hard and animalistic, I felt my soul abandon my body for two seconds.

My eyes squeezed shut, and it took me a minute to realize I was still alive.

He didn't stab you. It went right to the wall.

I forced my eyes open, and there he was.

Standing so close I could see the golden ring glinting from his brow. His eyes—black, endless pits of nothingness—pierced into

  • You Are Mine, Little Sister   The Monster That Was My Brother

    RALIMy whole life, I never thought fear could sink its claws this deep into my soul. It wasn't just the kind of fear that prickled your skin or made your hands shake; no, this was primal, bone-deep terror. A nightmare come to life, glaring at me with a cold, unrelenting stare.He was, of course, bigger than the last time I'd seen him. Broad shoulders stretched the fabric of his leather jacket, and his chest and arms bulged with the evidence of countless hours spent in the gym—or in fights.He looked like the kind of man who broke every law, every rule, and left a track of blood as he went. And right now, he stood in front of me, his dark eyes glinting like obsidian pools under the dim light of the room.Oh, God.My guts had been right at all along. The monster that was my brother had shadowed me for sixteen years. How unfortunate could I be?He glared at me in a way that made my skin crawl with fear. He glared at me, not with hatred but something far worse—like I'd stepped on h

  • You Are Mine, Little Sister   Eyes I Knew

    RALIMy eyes flew wide, and my entire body went rigid as if frozen in place. Adam pushed himself off me in an instant, cursing under his breath as he rushed to the window."Wh—What's happening?" My voice trembled, barely audible over the roaring of my pulse in my ears. Beads of sweat formed on my forehead, and my hands clutched my pendant.Adam didn't respond. His face darkened, his jaw tightening as he scanned the view outside. Then, without a word, he strode to his wardrobe, yanked it open, and retrieved a black gun from a hidden compartment.My heart sank like a stone.My hand flew to my mouth, stifling a gasp as fear consumed me.Oh, God. This was getting real.No. It couldn't be what I thought. There was no way."A—Adam..." I stuttered."Stay here!" He didn't spare me a glance as he ran out of the room.Forcing my limbs to move, I rushed to the window but discovered I couldn't see a thing. The fight was taking place in an angle the window didn't cover.It must be some enemi

  • You Are Mine, Little Sister   In His Bed

    RALIAdam's house was everything I expected—huge, modern, and dripping with luxury. And much to my relief, there were three more guards at the house.I'll admit—it was a little strange that he had this number of guards just because his father was a government official. Maybe, Adam did have his own shady life. But that didn't matter. After tonight, I'd be done with him—never to be seen again."So...how do we take this? Slow...or right to the point?" Adam asked as he ambled towards the wine counter beside the living room.I licked my dry lips, feeling my nerves spike. My pulse thudded so loudly in my ears it was a miracle he couldn't hear it."Right to the point," I replied.He poured himself a drink, then turned to look at me with a smirk as he sipped from the glass.He didn't take his eyes off me for one second, not even when he had the drink up to half of the glass. It was as if he was devouring me with his eyes, and that made me shift uncomfortably on my feet.You

  • You Are Mine, Little Sister   Come Make Me

    RALISo far, I was having one of the best nights of the year—or at least, I was trying to make sure it was one of my best nights.Veronica and Ruby made it even easier. Ruby was our best friend.The girls and I had shared a few drinks, danced hard on the crowded floor and now, I leaned against the cool marble counter of the bar, trying to catch my breath."One shot, please," I said, glancing up at the bartender. He had been smiling at me every chance he got.In less than a minute, he slid the glass toward me with a playful wink. "On the house."I tossed back the shot, the liquid burning my throat like fire, and grimaced before chuckling softly. "That was what you said for the last one. I'm afraid if you keep up with this, you might lose your job." I slid the empty glass to him."Don't worry, pretty. You're worth losing my job over." He took the empty glass with a smile and left, going to attend to another customer.I smiled, shaking her head.Over my shoulder, I spott

  • You Are Mine, Little Sister   Going To Meet His Little Bitch

    VOIDI moved the cursor, swiping through each image on my system. Gory photos of people dead in a nightclub.Veins popped in my knuckles from how tightly I gripped the mouse, rage bubbled in my chest.Say the code, man—I tried to convince myself. Say the fucking code.Closing my eyes, I began the mental recitation:Èna, Dýo, Tría—Dammit. It wasn't working.I took up the object closest to me—my newest Lumatablet—and hauled it against the wall.Eric, leaning casually behind me, barely flinched. He sighed and folded his arms. "We just got delivery of that yesterday.""Well, your control code is trash," I said an icier tome, glaring at him before returning my gaze to the pictures on the screen."Wouldn't say it's a complete failure. You've improved," Miles shrugged.Maybe he was right. Months before now, I'd have probably done worse things for a reaction.But I wasn't ready to give Eric or his asinine 'control code' any credit.My hand threatened to crush the mouse as I went throu
