I had prepared exactly what I would say to Thane, but the moment he walked in, all I had rehearsed for hours was completely forgotten.His brown hair fell over his amber eyes and that’s all I could think about, how beautiful his eyes were. I couldn’t lose him, not just because he was the most beautiful man I had ever seen my whole life, but because I had fallen so in love with this man that I didn’t think I could live without him."Riley,” he calls.“Welcome back, Thane.”“You seemed to be a bit lost checking me out,” he mused with a smile before walking to me. “I got you something.”“Oh” I said in response; he took out the box and pulled it open, and it was a golden bracelet with emerald and blue flowery designs.“I could only think about you when I saw this,” he says, taking my hands and securing the bracelet around my wrist. No doubt it was pure gold; it looked so beautiful and very costly too. “Thane, I can’t take this.” I said even if I would very much love to.“Riley, don’t tur

I had been on my way to Axels’ apartment when I walked right into my mother, she must have been waiting for me. I took a turn, trying to avoid her; she was the last person I wanted to see, but I felt her firm grip on my hands."Please, Riley, let’s talk,” she says.Talk? What's the point? We've been talking and it led to more problems, perhaps it was best I avoid chatting with her, this way she could keep her secrets to herself.“I do not need to talk to you right now; let me go,” I said. My voice sounded so cold, I almost didn’t believe it came from me. She finally let me go.“You were right, I didn't want you with him, I was never okay with that and so I knew telling you the truth would end what you both had, if only I knew how bad I was hurting you in the process. I acted selfishly but I think I have a solution.” she says, her eyes sincere."No, you don’t; the only things you can come up with are more problems, and I am fed up. I am sick and tired of you.”“Hear me out. I read abou

“Is it twenty-four hours yet?” I asked Axel."There is still twenty hours to go” Axel answered, and I groaned.“Hey... what about now?”“It is still twenty hours to go, maybe minus twenty seconds. Riley, you have to calm down.”“Calm down? How do you expect me to calm down?” I asked, frustrated at everything. “You know what? I’m sorry... I know I could get very irritating, but these four hours feel like a whole day already.”“Maybe because we are practically sitting down and waiting for twenty-four hours to pass by.”“You have any ideas to pass time?”“Have you ever used a gun before?”“That’s a random question. No, I just held it a few times.”“Well then this would be fun... put on some pants, we got to go” he says."Well, my clothes are back in Thane’s room, and I am not going back there.”“I could find something that is a bit smaller for me,” he says, staring me up and down. “You are really small.”I glared at him, sticking my tongue out childishly. “Maybe you are just too big." He

I was alone in Axel's room; there had been an emergency and Axel had to go. He did tell me he would be back soon, but it had been five hours already.Screw it.I took the envelope and walked out, heading to the room I had shared with Thane.I stopped before the door; maybe I should have waited for Axel's return before leaving, but it was too late to turn back now.I pushed the door open and walked in."Thane, we need to talk!" I called out; I knew someone was in the room, and just then I spotted Bailey seated on the couch, wrapped in a robe... Thane's robe.I swallowed."Elder Bailey, what are you doing here?" I asked, and my voice sounded shaky even to my own ears. She took a drag from the cigarettes she held."What does it look like?" She asks with a shrug; there was no smirk on her face, but I could see the victory in her eyes.I couldn't believe it. I suddenly felt suffocated; I couldn't breathe.How could he?That was the question I asked myself over and over again."Don't be ha

"The wind ‘hazard’ left thirty injured, five of them in severe conditions, but no lives were lost. The healers have their hands full," Axel reported back to Thane."What exactly caused a wind that strong, it was not at all natural," Thane wondered aloud."Were you thinking an elemental did this?" Axel questioned."Something close. Elementals had long gone extinct, of course, except one.""The elders" A female voice suggested, and of course it was Bailey approaching, joining in on the conversation ."You think the elders did this?" Axel questioned."Not just any elder... Nyaos did this; he was an elemental.""That should be the one elder who escaped," Thane added. His mask was back on, but I knew more than anything that he was furious; he hated anything that came against his pack."He was sending a warning..." Bailey began, but Axel cut her off."More like a threat.""I would end what I began," Thane declares."No, is too dangerous." Bailey says"For me?" Thane asked with a hint of amu
