I don't waste any time, whirling around to walk quickly down the alleyway and back toward the restaurant Lev is in. Panic wraps itself around my heart that thunders against my chest as I race around the corner, refusing to look back over my shoulder. The brief image of him I got before fleeing is imprinted in my mind, yet I can't quite figure out who it was an where I have heard that voice before. I don't care who it is, I'm not getting in the car with him. 

Lev and I didn't speak the entire ride back to our hotel, even though we weren't accompanied by anyone. Yet the moment we stepped outside of the car, watching it drive back off into the night as if it never existed in the first place, he grabs my arm, turning me around to face him. His eyes are wild, blond hair mussed about as if he has been running his hands tirelessly through it. "You can't do it," he growls. It's clear he shouldn't have come, that he shouldn't witnessed that. I'm starting to become used to the unpredictable world that these Alpha's live in, so I'm not so shaken by what

I kick my legs up onto the couch, lounging back. This position seems to be the one I resume everyday after work, exhausted from the facade I'm having to keep up. At least in my apartment I can feel safe, where I can actually relax. Here, Cian can't get to me, can't say anything to me while I'm trying to work. But that doesn't mean I don't have other issues to deal with... Lev collapses onto the couch next to me, picking my le

I stare out the window, the rain trailing down in rivets suiting my mood.The building in front of me that block my view of the city seems to be taunting me today. I feel trapped, confused and even a little bored. I haven't heard from Cian in over two weeks, and because I'm scared of facing Lev after him encouraging me to decide whether I want to be with him or not, I'm bound to my room.Everyday I've gone to work, and Cian hasn't been in his cell. It made the staff panic for awhile, some even too scared to come to work, although it hasn't bothered me. I know that wherever he is gone, it's far away, and his intentions are to hurt other people, not me or that staff at the facility.Because Cian has been gone, I haven't been able to do my job in gaining his trust, although it seems I may have already blew it.And if I'm honest, I

~Abella Once again, I avoid Cian’s grasp.His words are not a surprise, but it’s still terrifying to hear him say it.He bent his head down, almost like he is reluctant to mention it, and asked me to come with him to the immortal realm. "I can't go to the Immortal realm with you,” I exclaim firmly. The last time I went with him to the Immortal realm, I didn’t have a choice, and although I didn’t explore beyond Cian’s personal home, it was terrifying. A mortal like me wouldn’t survive a day there, if the rumours and stories about it are tru
