Miriam"Your lungs sound clear and all of your injuries appear to be minor." Alana said, placing her stethoscope in her medical bag. "I do think it would be wise to not participate in any extraneous activities over the next few days, give your body time to fully recover. That includes sex."

         MiriamI had spent the last few days in the computer room trying to find anything to help me decipher the writing on the scroll I had found and successfully avoiding Aro. I couldn't find anything to put me even one step closer to understanding why my face was on an ancient document. Discovering the secrets of the ancient scroll seemed much more important than finding a way to break my fate bond with the playboy prince.

Miriam            The desperation and need in Aro's kiss left me breathless. I could feel everything he had left unspoken, his guilt about not coming to me about celeste first, his desire for only me. It was dizzying. I wanted to give him everything and more.

TylerI had been running through the woods to tire my wolf when I had scented fear in the air. I followed the scent to find a woman I recognized as Aro's mate being attacked. My wolf lunged at her attacker, knocking him to the ground. The short skirmish that followed had resulted in me being stabbed in the side with silver and him taking to the air to escape.

 I woke to a delectable trail of sparks caressing their way up my arm. I rolled towards Aro and my breath caught in my throat. He looked like a God with the soft morning light from the window behind him framing his body, his eyes dark with hunger. My heart quickened and I felt myself becoming slick with desire."How did you sleep?" His voice rumbled, barely a whisper.
