***********Nero POV********   They say, "out of sight, out of mind." But when Blake was gone from my place, she wasn't out of my mind, it was just that I could easily focus on what mattered when she wasn't in my face.   But then I saw her tonight, and damn it, I have that same stupid desire to keep her safe and act recklessly for her.   "Nero, please listen to me. I swear, I didn't deceive you." Luna cried, her eyes moist.    This wasn't the plan. Tonight was about me taking the easy way out of this mess… reject Blake, claim Luna, and hopefully get the list sooner than later with her help.   "I am sorry. But Miss Noble was just as convincing as you are

*******Nero POV******   The weight of Blake's head on my chest and the way she had snuggled herself so close to my body left me with a smile the instant my eyes opened.   How can someone so dangerous have such an innocent presence? Maybe that's what makes her even deadly.   "Miss Blake, are you in here?" An omega's voice echoed from the other side of the door, and from the shiver in her tone, I could tell that there was a storm.    There were a couple of silent seconds. Then there was a knock and she called out, "Please. If you are in here, say something. Your father is asking about your whereabouts, and we have been searching everywhere for you!"   Th

***********Jason POV*********   Another cancel call. That jerk is really serious about me leaving. My ticket was sent to my phone this morning, and now, he's ignoring my call.   For too long he has been treating me like his baby brother, even though he's just a couple of months older than me. Maybe it's time to remind him that we are both grown men, and I am not obeying him anymore.   Leaving my couch, I headed into the bathroom, and when I returned to my room, a knock on my suite door made me abandon my closet.   "Who is it?" I called out.   Within a split second a soft, familiar voice echoed from the other end of the door, "Harley,"  &

***********Blake POV********   Silently, I watched Nero from the kitchen door, gazing at his back and feeling drunk by his scent which was everywhere on me, and no, it was not because I was wearing his shirt. Dreaming about something bigger than running away from home was never a part of my thought. But now, I feel greedy… like I am becoming needy… wanting more from him… for us. Dreaming about something bigger than running away from home was never a part of my thought. But now, I feel greedy… like I am becoming needy… wanting more from him… for us.   An addict to Nero is what I was turning into. Everything about him is like a drug I couldn't get enough of, and thankful I heal faster, or else I wouldn't have survived last night because I was drowning in him and he was like a rough

******Luna POV*******The room was quiet for quite a while as the elders stood around an oval table, and I heard one of them mumble, sounding disappointed, "Where is Blake…" I too was wondering where she was, hoping that she stay the hell there and didn't show her face. But when I looked at my father, he seemed more worried than angry, and that just pissed me off even more. After he finally sat down at the head of the table, the rest of us took our seats. Then my mother glared at him and said softly, "Your daughter is late." Swaying his gaze away from my father's fierce stare, Elder Grand focused on the other elders and said, “We all know how reckless Blake has been acting these days. But she can
