CHAPTER 31
While I take in the deep, ragged claw lines severing Jade's pale honey skin, my voice is so low it's nearly a whisper.He gives me a quick glance, but I can't take my eyes off his ripped and bleeding skin."After I got Finn into his office, I had to go back to being human."I have to work hard to slow down my breathing since it's too rapid. "Why?"It's a strange phenomenon, but hands are useful for closing doors.I look up from his back to meet his eyes, drawn by the dark humour in his voice. I observe him for a moment, then I'm not sure what else I want to do. Tell him to get over his foolishness of putting himself in danger by moving into a potentially fatal situation. for myself.Maybe give him a kiss. for the identical cause.Either that or approach Finn's office and hurl a chair in his direction.That is not what I do. I turn and move towards the first aid box that Dan had been searching in before applying a bandage to my wrist.God, it seems like it was thousands of years ago al

CHAPTER 32
Jade growls and takes a long breath. "Fuck, you smell ripe." His hand slides under my sweatpants, and I don't even consider not opening my thighs to receive it.Never before have I been happier to not be wearing pants than when a thick digit touches me and makes me sigh in hunger.He says, "You're fucking drenched," against my neck. His words are so hot that I wiggle towards him in an attempt to get him to relieve the pressure that is developing between my legs."Jade, please.""You didn't say what it is you want."I resist him, but he keeps me still. "You know.""Say it.""Jade, could you just—" I groan as my muscles tense tightly around the finger he pokes into my body. "Oh god."There's no resistance, nothing at all; my body just gives way and invites him in.Jade pulls his finger free, cursing. His hands twitch at my sweatpants, signalling that I'm going to get my wish. He.His hands leave me for a moment so he can jam the material down my legs.My heart is thumping loudly as I pr

CHAPTER 33
I can feel the heat pouring from his order. Or perhaps it's the way his eyes feel on me. He disappears for a little moment before reappearing to wipe a towel between my knees, down my back, and over the curvature of my ass.With one arm wrapped around my midsection as though he knows I need assistance getting up, he presses his mouth to the back of my head and remains there, caressing my sensitive skin and making me burn all over again."You're being very..." He sweeps the towel up and over my breasts, and I take a big intake. "Thorough."I sense a smile forming on his lips. "Is that you saying you want me to stop, angel eyes?"A little smile spies itself on my mind. "Don't you dare?"This girl—who is she? She doesn't sound at all like Amanda, so I ask myself."Well, perhaps you should—" A savage snarl stops him in his tracks.My entire body tenses up. Gabriel. What the hell was I thinking when I forgot?When Jade wraps his arm around me more tightly, I start to pull away. "What did

I wait for him to go on, but when I see the need in his hazel eyes, I can't help but feel the same way. "What?" I didn't desire?Though he returns to me with a blink, I can see he's still thinking about her.He wants her, and based on how I would see her observing him at the bar, she also wants him.Perhaps I can talk her into letting me observe."I told her that we used to share everything and that we were close."Expecting to impart Amanda burns hot and harsh in my stomach. "And her reply?"Dan gulps down so forcefully that I can see the movement in his throat. "Storytelling."I mirror him, angling my head back and crossing my arms across my chest. "However, you chose not to inform her about us, as she is too naive to have ever experienced the kind of relationship we desire."Not even that she could say she desired me. I believe this will be her first experience because of the purity in her eyes, however, perhaps some of that stems from whatever was done to her.For her, that will b

Heat rises in his eyes and his nostrils flare.I suppose there is more to this attraction than meets the eye."I was trying to be courteous," Dan murmurs, stealing my attention from Jade as he rubs his shoulder and wears a pained expression.Jade gives me a snort and then comes charging over to hop into the bed next to me. I tense up, hoping he doesn't kiss me while holding Dan there, but I also want him to do a lot more.Jade looks at me for a long moment, then turns to look at Dan. "You were correct."My gaze shifts from Jade to Dan and back again. "Approximately what?"Before I flash the room, the bedsheet slips down and I grab at it to pull it up.Dan leans against the wall across from me, still wearing the same white shirt and pants he must have been wearing for the past few days, unlike Jade, who has taken to making himself comfortable next to me in the queen-sized bed. I'm fairly certain he has a stain of blood on his shoulder from the time he carried me back to his flat after

CHAPTER 36
DANMy gaze remains fixed on the plump whisky tumbler held by Jade. Shortly after Amanda departed, I assumed he was pursuing her when he got out of bed. I then went after him. Straight through the slit in the bathroom door, into the kitchen, and to the bottle of whisky Greg keeps in a cupboard.Jade leans against the kitchen counter and his hand tightens around the glass, but he doesn't knock back the liquid. "He's the alpha."I wait for more because I know Jade hasn't said everything."Alphas never part with anything that is rightfully theirs."Amanda.."He may not be," I cross my hands over my chest, almost reaching for the glass, because suddenly, the idea of a whisky in the morning sounds good, especially if there's a shifter as possessive as Finn out there looking for Amanda. Far too charming.Jade looks at me after another long moment, then sets the untouched glass down on the counter and pushes it away from him. "He had a pack, she said. He is the alpha.I remark, "It might be

AmandaDense. That's my sentiment. As if I were swallowing a mountain and plummeting to the ocean floor.A small voice murmurs in my thoughts, "But that's not what's happening, Amanda, even though you wouldn't mind if it did."Cool water lases my perspiration and makes me feel heavy.I had to leave this place. I had to leave, even if he punishes me for it.I stumble over the hem of my sweatpants, which are trying to trip me, as I feel my way out of the shower cubicle, blinded by my sopping hair.I can breathe a little easier now that I'm out of the constant chilly spray.Superior. Not flawless. but superior."Grab her." I hear Darius's voice, cold and uninterested, as my fingers are about to close the glass shower door. "From here, I can still smell their stench."Apparently occupied with a text message.And the smell, which must be Jade and Dan's, must be stuck to the sweatpants and hooded top I put on before I raced away from them—straight into the arms of a monster.However, my mon

Finn lurches to his feet, but his legs give way under him almost instantly.Not quite yet.Finn roars back up, this time full of pain. He remains up this time.Only a tiny bit more.He stumbles a little as he spins towards me. Not entirely stable.Fantastic.The next time I swing, the wooden chair leg explodes and chips fly into my eye, covering me in tiny flakes. But it gets the job done.Finn silently falls to the ground.We shifters have hard skulls like I mentioned. To put us down, you must perform the task correctly.Still, this is insufficient."You require aid?" It sounds like Dan is getting up and walking behind me.I reach down, pick up Finn, hurl him over my shoulder, and start for his office's stairs, barely stopping short of a jog.I've given us a little time. Not minutes, but seconds instead."No need," I snort, realizing that Finn is heavy for me.His breathing shifts as he approaches the top of the small stairway that leads to his office.A clawed-up back will seem like

However, Darius did not put me in his bed, carry me out of the shower, or wipe me off with a towel out of comfort. As I curl into myself and battle against the chills coursing through my body, comfort is the last thing from my mind.His smell fills this flat from corner to corner. None more so than the spot where he sleeps every night.And everything in this flat, including myself, including the blankets and the bed, belongs to him.I smell like leather and cedar right now, plus that intangible something else that would give you the impression that someone was wealthy without them having to utter a word. His linens are heavy withsmells that cling to me. Alongside the despised man I stand next to, there's a hateful stench.He runs his hand down the middle of my back and up my spine, brushing aside my long dark hair, still moist from my icy shower. Felix's whips left me with a lot of scars, so I'm not sure which one he's tracing, but I'm quite sure it's one."I should give you thanks f

CHAPTER 40
I push Mom's memories away. I remember her reading to me in bed and stroking my hair. the affection of her.Love weakens you, and Amanda, this is not the moment to be weak. Not when a predator is directly in front of you.I tighten my hands even more, lift my chin, and give him a straight-faced look. "You assigned Nathan a task. Did you not?We come together in the centre of the space, my rage piercing him with its heat and his icy stare.I considered seeing my father. Of fleeing the hospital, thinking that my return to the man was the worst thing that could have happened to me.What might I have discovered? A demolished flat full of rats? A brand-new family with tales of an isolated man's death?A man's body?Tears well up in my eyes, but they stay in place. What purpose would that serve?Suddenly, the memory of the cabin comes back. The last summer I spent with Mom and Dad was full of cookouts by a glittering lake on a disposable BBQ, the sun beating down on me, and Dad throwing me
