As the words left my lips, I knew that I had made a mistake. His nostrils flared and his eyes raged with an anger I had never seen before. His fists were balled on the table as he held onto his metal knife for dear life. The man looked like he was ready to murder me, or at the very least, maim me. Shit.I had messed up dismally and now, I was about to pay the price for what I had done. “I have been nothing but patient with you, Dawn. I have taken your disrespect and I have even allowed you time to frolic here without a single care in the world. But you have taken it too far. Do you not understand how many sacrificed their lives just so you could be breathing right now?”The ice in his words hit right in the centre of my chest. “You think that this man will love you? That he will treat you any better than a common whore?” He slammed his fist only the table sending the food in my plate flying. “You are far more stupid than I had initially realized! How can you not see his tr

*Craig*The only thing that was left in this fucking rooftop was the dinner table that he had set up for her. I had felt her and I had heard her voice call to me. She was in danger and she needed me. I had wasted no time getting here, but it was too late. They were long gone and I was left to think of a way to track her. I was trying to keep a level head but the fact that he had her had my entire body in knots. The man was psycho and I knew that he was plotting and planning something. I should have never allowed her to go. I should have just gone with my instincts at locked her away and hid her from him. So, what if she was angry with me? At least she would have been in my care and by my side. “You need to calm down,” Jared tried to reason with me over the phone, but it was no use. When I came to rooftop, she wasn’t there. “You being this angsty will not help her.”“And neither will me standing here and doing nothing!” My anger was not toward him and he knew that. But I

I lifted Jason by his neck and held him in the air. I held onto his neck making sure to give him just enough oxygen to keep him alive but also closing in on his pipes so he felt the pressure. “Tell me,” I growled. Even with his face turning red, the bastard still smiled at me. “Craig, he is baiting you. If you kill him, then we lose the ability to help Dawn.” Serena was right. I threw Jason onto the floor and scowled at him. I had to pull my wolf back to keep him from murdering the man he so desperately wanted to kill. “How do I remove the mark, Jason? I will only ask you one more time.”He coughed trying to rid the pain from his throat. I could see the sausage like bruise marks on his neck. “I can tell you how to remove the mark. But what will I get in return?”“Your life,” I seethed. He looked up at me with those pitiful eyes of his. “You think yourself to be God, but you are nothing in this world, Craig. Just because you stopped me today, doesn’t mean that I

Our lips crashed together again, the heat only increasing. Craig lifted me from the marble countertop and started moving. I was so preoccupied with his lips, I didn’t care where he was taking us. All I cared about was him and the throbbing between my legs. I felt us climbing some stairs and heading down a long space before a door clicked open. Craig laid me down on a soft bed, not once breaking our kiss. I had changed into sweatpants and a large hoodie after the cave, but I wore no underwear. I could feel the slickness against my leg already. Craig broke our kiss allowing me a chance to catch my breath. He used his elbows to hover over me so he wasn’t crushing my body beneath his. Our hot breaths mingled together into one small cloud of passion. “We will take it slow,” he assured me. “But it will hurt.”I shook my head. “I don’t need slow. I just need all of you.”I was out of my mind thinking that I could handle him at first go without being tentative. But I was

*Dawn*I had stared outside by the pool area where Craig stood over Jason’s body. He held Jason’s heart in his hands like it was it was squishy toy. Bile rose from my stomach and made my way up my throat. I used all my might to keep it down. It was over. The war was finally done. The enemy was defeated and now, I was free to be with the man I loved without having to look over my shoulder. So, why did I feel like this was only just the beginning? My hand absently when to the place Craig had marked me the other night. Coincidentally, it was in the same place my mark that I had shared with Jason was. When my finger touched the still healing wound, my body shuddered. I didn’t know if it was the old mark or the new one but something moved from my skin all throughout my body. I pushed down then ominous feeling and drew my mind back to the present. Craig must have felt my eyes on him because he lifted his gaze to the window and found me. His features softened when he saw my f
