SEBASTIAN I still wondered what was on my mind when I proposed to her to go to Sankt Petersburg, only God knows. I didn’t even have a reason. Maybe I wanted to get her away from it all. To calm her down. I just would not tell her I invited her to have some time together, then she certainly wouldn’t have accepted. She was very proud, and I was also sure she would not go with a stranger into the heart of Russia.“Where did you say you go? And with whom? You are crazy, my friend!” Liam scolded me and for a good reason. I was crazy, but about her. I was determined to prove to her she was the only one in my life. Being skeptical would not help me right now, but I was very insistent, too.“To answer your question, but only in half, I am going to Sankt Petersburg with Teresa, but to be honest I don’t have a reason. Unless…” My thoughts flew directly to the right person, or so I thought. As far as I knew, Erik was also in Russia, doing his journeys. “No, you wouldn’t!” visibly worried

TERESAThe agitation of the last few days had left a serious mark on me. Chases, demons who wanted to kill me, Sebastian said for my blood. Everything seemed like a bad dream.And Bash’s comments about what I could do amazed me and made me think seriously. I understood a little, but I noticed that something was wrong with me. I mean, what kind of human can run like that? Exactly, no human could! Then what was I?I sighed so deeply that I caught Sebastian’s attention, who was sitting too quietly, given the situation. But his face didn’t look so worried. Maybe he had the situation under control.“I know it’s exhausting what you’re going through, but you’re doing pretty well. This world of mine may have turned yours upside down, and you certainly didn’t think there could be so many creatures out there. Moreover, to have one right next to you…!” he added, and paused, looking out of the plane window.It was clear that he was feeling guilty, that maybe his presence in my life had led to so

TERESAEver since I came here, I’ve been feeling a little uneasy, like something bad was about to happen. I could only explain this feeling to myself as being directly involved in this situation that had long since overcome the barriers of logical understanding. At a first glance, Alexei Stepanov seemed to be a man who could lend us a helping hand. He didn’t know all the details either, nor did I understand everything that was happening to me. My thoughts were mixed, and I was trying to pay attention to what Anya was telling me.“… these pink roses that Mikael brought to me the last time he was in Sweden. I love them!” She continued wherever she went with the story. I was absent.“Michael?”“My dear, what’s wrong with you?” Are you ok? You are not yourself…” Anya whispered to me so close that I was the only one hearing her. I could see the worry in her eyes. Such a difference between her and Alexei, the ruthless mobster.“Anya, my life is so complicated that I don’t even know where t

TERESA I looked into his eyes and although I knew the answer to that question, the anticipation of what was to come disconnected me. Every pore of my body screamed his name, etched so deep within me. I didn’t care what others thought.The present moment was all that mattered, and I was ready to face what was to happen here and now. I approached slightly and touched his lips with trembling fingers.That aroused him even more, and in a jerk, he threw me on my back. He was above me, looking at me intensely, feeling every single strengthened place in his body. I was allowing this to happen because I wanted to, but most of all because I desired him. And before he unleashed his hunger, he descended to my neck, pulling out his fangs, tracing shivers in its length.All my being quivered under his breath, letting him discover me slowly at his pace. Although I was almost begging, he would take his time. But by the time he slipped his hand down between my thighs, tingling his fingers so close

SEBASTIANMikael’s remark completely confused Teresa. She was trying to regain her balance, but it was very difficult. She wasn’t used to talking about her parents yet, but Mikael couldn’t have known about it. What did he mean by the fire inside her? I would not leave Russia until I talked to him. Maybe his senses detected something that we, the werewolves, couldn’t.I would have liked to spare Teresa from such events, but a grimace, in this case, was enough for Mikael to stop referring to her.“Mikael, my friend, you came just in time to meet a good old friend of mine. Now yours too. Sebastian Gallagher. Sebastian, meet Mikael Svensson”“It is a pleasure to finally get to know you. Alexei told me a lot about you,” I said, moving towards him and holding out my hand for a more formal greeting. “She is my fiancée, Teresa,” I added, aware of her reaction.But I really wanted to give her the place she deserved. Instantly, everyone in the house, including Teresa, showed amazed faces, but i
