Все главы Into the Night: Глава 21 - Глава 30

From Alassandra's POVI was utterly scattered mentally. I found myself pondering things that I never imagined would cross my mind. What was supposed to be a peaceful trip into town quickly transformed into an enormous disaster when the waitress suddenly burst into flames. I couldn't comprehend how such a bizarre incident could occur. The echoes of her screams continued to replay in my thoughts, and the expression of sheer shock and terror in her eyes would forever haunt me.Then there was the bookstore. Ikaris' words left me with several questions. I found it incredibly difficult to believe that it had been closed for twelve years. I had been to the store and spoken to the owner; how was this even possible? As much as I had wanted to go back and take another look to bring peace of mind to myself after what happened in the restaurant, I knew there was absolutely no way I could return, at least not for a while. As I came to a stop at the stop light, I shook my head to clear my thoughts

From Alassandra's POVOnce again, I felt as though I was falling into an empty void, a void unlike any other I'd ever experienced before. Even though I could see everything around me, there was no sound to be heard. The feeling left me feeling like I was alone in the world, with no one to talk to or share my thoughts with. It was a feeling of complete isolation and emptiness I had never experienced before. The only comfort I felt was that of the sweet taste of blood left in my mouth; it soothed the darkness and kept it calm, yet I still felt something else lurking just beyond the empty void that surrounded me.It felt like my day moved in slow motion; each class seemed to last longer than the last. There was nothing more I wanted to do than lie in bed with my newfound friend and enjoy his warm embrace. Leaving him that morning was the hardest decision I had made thus far. I felt a deeper connection to him than I did before. It was impossible to explain, even I didn't understand it, bu

From Ikaris's POVAs soon as I stepped outside the room, I was inundated with questions. What I heard just a few minutes ago could not have been more unbelievable to me. For years, we were told that Alassandra's parents were dead, and for years, we were dedicated to bringing her here and destroying her. Yet, for some reason, hearing her father's voice was enough to make me question all of the things we had been taught up to this point. As time passed, I had already begun questioning things, but now I had even more reasons to do so, and after finding out I was mated to Alassandra, I was looking at things from a different angle.Taking a deep breath, I mind-linked Moriah and Argos. Although I was unsure of what I would say, I knew I needed to explain it."Argos, Moriah, I need to speak with you both. Meet me in the office in five," I said through the mind-link.The sound of Argos' voice flooded through the mind-link. "I'm a little busy right now, Brother. Can it wait?" he said."Pussy c

From Alassandra's POV There was a sensation in my head that pounded; I had the feeling as if I had been hit with a sledgehammer. As I grunted in pain, I opened my eyes and blinked a few times before taking a closer look around at the environment around me. It was the first time I had seen this place. The walls were dark and dull. Not a single frame or hint of color could be seen on the walls. The floor was damp, and the air was stale. The only light was from a candle chandelier that hung on the ceiling. There were no other occupants in the room, just me and my pounding headache. I groaned in pain and looked up at the ceiling, trying to orient myself. When the sound of approaching footsteps could be heard, and after a few moments, Lillian walked in carrying a tray of food and water. "Oh, thank goddess, you're alright," Lillian said as she placed the tray on the small table beside where I lay and wrapped her arms around me. "What happened and where are we?" I asked. My memory of what

From Alassandra's POVThe whole thing seemed to happen in such a short amount of time. Within the span of an instant, I was in the mansion, and the next thing I knew, I was floating through what I could only describe as clouds, and the next thing I knew, I was a wolf. I had no idea what was taking control over me, but it was dark, and it wanted to feed.At the time, I did not know what all of this meant, but as time went on, I slowly began to recall my mother's words, "YOU CAN ALWAYS COME BACK TO THE LIGHT!"I don't know what she meant when she said that, but I felt as though that was the only thing that had the ability to calm me down. For a moment, I sat and listened to what Yadhira was saying when she was talking about me. However, after a while, I could feel the darkness within me beginning to rise, and that darkness had its eyes set on Ikaris as its target. I found that the more I became tempted to feed on him, the worse it got as I ignored it."Come to me," I called to him. The
