"You should try and eat something. You've not had anything to eat since morning. Take this, it will help settle your queasy stomach." I say, handing her a small packet of pretzels. "Okay, thanks..." She says and collects the snacks from me. She opens the packet and I watch as she nibbles on it until she finally finishes the whole pack."I'm sorry I couldn't come on time today. I had a very busy day but be sure I'll come to see you tomorrow with a sumptuous meal. How about that?" I ask and she nods with a smile. I give her a bottle of water then. After she has taken her fill, she puts the lid back on the bottle."Ash, can you tell me what happened this morning between you and the inmate that died?" I ask gently, picking my words so she doesn't feel guilty or bad about herself."According to some of the guards, you attacked her on your way to the mess hall for just no reason.""Wait, what!? But that's a lie! That's a big lie! Why would I attack someone I don't know for no reason? And

"Ughhhhhhh hhhhh..." My pain-filled growl rends through the night as the beast's teeth violently clamp down on my bones, ripping the flesh off my arms.While he's furiously chewing on my arm, I raise my right hand with the karambit still clutched in it and slice its throat in one swift motion, from the jugular to its left ear. For a moment the beast looks stunned as its neck starts sputtering warm blood all over my face. Its mouth opens wide enough to howl but only an ugly sputtering sound emits from it before it finally falls on me with blood still gushing from its gaping wound.It shifts back into its human form then and I push him away from on top of me with a groan. My arm hurts like hell but I do my best to ignore the pain and quickly spring to my feet. It seems the wolf I just killed was the fastest in their camp since the rest are still some couple of feet away from us.I removed the karambit from my finger with my injured hand and used the other hand to tear a strip of cloth f

My body tensed up the moment I heard the message Ella passed to me from Victoria. My steps falter but I manage to maintain my composure"Danger? I don't understand, how come he's in danger? Weren't they working together at the gate? How the hell did it happen?" I rapidly fired questions at Ella as if she could give me more information than what Victoria told her."According to what Victoria told me, they turned on the alarm and also called immediately after they saw what was happening from inside the gate's watch room. She said he was surrounded by rogues "They saw he was surrounded? How come he was surrounded? Why the hell was he outside the gate all by himself in the first place!? How could they allow him to go by himself? Rogues move around in packs and I know he wouldn't be foolish enough to challenge them all by himself!..." I continually talk as I drive like a bat out of hell. Ella doesn't answer any of my questions. I look towards her and see the look on her face. I understa

Thor returns to the room after he has gotten rid of Anders. As he walks back towards my bed, I see the pleasant face he had on before he left has been replaced with an angry one. His human green eyes had turned red, blazing with anger."Care to tell me why, Eric?..." He asks as he comes to stand in front of my bed. "I remember I told you more than once not to leave the pack without taking one or two men along with you..." "I know. I just...""You just deliberately disobeyed me!" He growls, angrily knocking the lamp on my bedside table off, shattering it into pieces "I am your Alpha, yet you deliberately disobey a direct order from me!"Henrik is the first to stand and quietly leave the room. Then Bear leaves after him... One after the other they leave till we're alone with each other. I guess they don't want to be a witness to what is about to go down. We've been friends since the cradle. We've roasted and insulted each other so many times but we've never had a serious argument b

Thor's POVAfter dinner, Eric and I went to his new room which is now closer to mine in the second wing, since I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep with the thought of him sleeping so far away from me on the first wing. We stayed up talking about everything but pack business.I made sure he had drifted to sleep before I sneaked out of his room to mine. The moment my head touched my pillow for the night, I heaved a sigh of relief, saying to myself with relief..."Finally, it's over"The days following his attack were scary and nerve-wracking. At first, even though I was surprised when the EMT told me he had been bitten by a vampire, I wasn't worried about it since we've always trained with vampire venom. All that I was worried about and wanted to do was to quickly get him to the hospital so his arm could be stitched for him to be able to heal properly.I stayed by his bedside till a few hours later, when we expected his healing to have been completed but to our utmost dismay, instead of
