Myra  My luck lasted till the beginning of the training session. While I knew the others might have come to know about the reason behind my absence, I was not yet ready to face them. What if they hated me for being a vampire’s mate? I clenched my fists and tried to steady my pounding heart. Akira has been silent ever since that conversation and judging by her mood, I guess she is angry or at least not quite happy with me. I sighed and put on my sneakers. I couldn’t hide in my room for long, could I?   Everyone had already started training when I walked in. I winced when Eric landed a vicious punch on the punching bag and for a moment, everyone stared at him while I averted my eyes. “You finally grace us with your presence. Eric has been beside himself, ya know?” Jamie commented, instantly earning a smack on his arm from Vi. I smiled nervously as I headed towards

Damian   Melissa had looked at me questioningly when we had meandered through the forest and come to the part where I had seen Myra numerous times. It was not a conscious choice, really. I had answered her questioning gaze with a mere shrug. But now, I think I know why. Maybe it’s what they called the bond pulling and tugging the two mates until they are bound to meet.    When Myra barrelled at me and I found myself on my back, I didn’t think of throwing her off me. I felt...protective and...pleased. I had almost forgotten that my sister, who had no clue about my mate’s existence, was also present. We exchanged a silent conversation after I divulged the secret and I knew she would keep this to herself. After the initial rendezvous, I realised that my mate was acting so cosied up because she was in heat.

Damian   I saw the downward slant of her shoulders and the hurtful expression in her eyes and immediately amended my previous statement. “What I meant is, I don’t think your next wave would be any less painful.” I averted my eyes. I have rarely cared for my partner before, rarely tried to actively not hurt them but here I am now, trying to amend my ways. Myra blinked at me as if she was confused and she might be considering the fact that there was no one to educate her about the way bonds worked. My gaze fell on the exposed neck and yet again, I felt my fangs aching yet again. The bruises I left had faded, barely visible and I felt the need to mark the skin up once again.    “You mean...if we get bonded, you will not regret it?” I wrenched my gaze away from her skin to look at her face. She looked hesitant, uncertain, which made me want to protect he

Damian “What did you call me for?” I scowled at the pair. I rest my elbows on my knees as I look at them while they seem to be exchanging a silent conversation which only manages to make me angrier.  “I didn’t come here to witness how well you guys silently communicate or admire your living room, you know,” I gritted. I had thought Celie was going to say something important, but when I arrived, Andrew wasn’t there. We waited for him for an hour before he decided to show up. Now, they won’t fucking tell me what they wanted me here for and it has been at least 15 minutes since then.  Andrew pins me with a disapproving gaze which I ignore because I wanted to go back dammit. I was oddly getting anxious and feeling that if I didn’t leave here f

Myra It had been too much for me. I let Akira take over, and we trotted out after Damian left. If he wanted me to beg him to let me stay then he was wrong. But the ache was like a constant reminder of my partial rejection. I focus on the running, the way my legs burned and the way the wind brushed against my fur.    The barrier rippled as soon as I dashed in, and heard someone shout my name. My ears perked up and the moment my head swivelled to the direction, a body barrelled into me. I belatedly realized it was Vi. Maybe because of the emotional roller-coaster I had gone through or otherwise, I felt my eyes well up.    She continued hugging me as she muttered nonsense under her breath, but I could detect that she was relieved and happy to see me. At least someone was. “Where have you been? Do you k
