CROSSI couldn't stop once I opened my mouth.I told her about Cyrus; what he was and how we met. I told her about his siblings and the hell on Earth. About Cyrus missing… and… I told her about me."Maybe that's why you're having those dreams. Something is really after me, but there's a solution."She listened, attentively and quietly. At one point, I wondered if she froze up but she'd blink, gulp and nod to show she was following.By the time I was done, dad had returned and she had to step out to let him know she was handling things. I sat quietly, tapping my feet as I waited, nervous as to what went on in her mind.When the door opened again, my blood pressure rose. She walked in quietly, shut the door and just stood there, blinking and watching me.Her silence scared me more than the thought of her actually freaking out. In fact, I think I'd like for her to yell and scream in my face."I know you don't lie," she finally got a word out, and she swallowed a lump. "And you won't sudd

CROSS I heard the door open and I turned my head to it. The hot towel my mom placed on my head starts to slide down and I quickly throw my hand on it. The hot towel did nothing to help, but mom insisted and I didn't want to make a fuss about it. Plus, she was already feeling shitty about not being able to help me with anything. "Lucian?" I started to get up once he walked into the room like he owned the place. His lips curled as he took me in, humour clearly in his gaze, "In the flesh." He had his hands tucked in the pocket of his black coat and he glanced behind him to see my mom shutting the door and hurrying by my side. "Lie down," she whispered softly, worry in her eyes. "Who is he?" Seeing as I made a fuss about calling him over, it was only natural for her to ask. "Uhm," I glanced between them, he looked more eager for the introduction and I gulped, taking my chances. "This is Lucian. He's one of Cyrus's brothers." Her face froze, she lifted her head and turned to loo

CROSSI woke up the next morning to Cyrus by my side and I couldn’t help but stare at him. He looked peaceful, at ease, and mine.It was way too early in the morning to blush but I couldn’t let myself roll out of bed when he was still here, so I snuggled closer, breathing him in like I could gobble him up and digest him.His voice suddenly rumbled low in his chest and I froze, eyes going wide as I'd now been caught red handed. His hands wrapped me in and he thrust one leg between mine.“What are you doing?”He sounded sexy. Too sexy for me to mention and now my morning wood was right on his thigh. Cyrus tensed and slowly started to get up.“Its’s not what you think,” I started to say but he rolled me onto my back, hovering over me with dishevelled hair and a smirk on his lips.“It’s a normal reaction,” I said while trying not to blush.“Not around me, it isn’t. You're just begging for some.”“Cyrus, please. It's Wednesday. Mom will be at my door any minute.” Speaking of, she was suppo

CROSSAll attempts to talk to him failed. He left me unread and wouldn't return my calls. Once school was over, I'd half expected he'd pick me up but he drove off instead. I watched his car zoom off with an ache in my chest and there was nothing I could do about it.I blinked back the angry, confused tear in my eyes. But we were in school, I couldn't just let that happen. Okay, we could have done it but school wasn't the only thing holding me back. Everything was just off.I pushed my sleeves up and stared at the dark bruise on my wrist. I hated this. I hated the fact that he did this. I'd never once thought we would ever be in such an abusive space. It was my most feared red flag and one I knew I should never forgive.If it was any other person, I'd be blocking and ending it all but… God! I was too far gone. I just wanted to find out what was going on.Even if he needed sex, we talked about this. He couldn't just come so hard on me and demand it in the way that he did. Maybe I should

CROSS"N-No. I should have won," Naamah continued to whine on her knees. "I had it under control. You ruined it. You were not supposed to step in!""He allowed me in." she countered calmly, unaffected by the demon's tears or tantrums.I did?"There's always a chance for humans to snap out of the hold of darkness. All he had to do was grab it, and he did." She threw a fond look my way.What did I even do? I was sure I'd be swallowed up in my own need by now."No," she sobbed harder, wiping her tears with the back of her hand, but it was obvious her defeat was permanent. She looked weak, sad, innocent-"She would've killed you had I delayed a second," Evangeline narrowed her eyes at me. "Don't go soft now. These beings are ruthless, no matter what form they take."Why did I get the feeling she was trying to mention a certain someone? I personally felt attacked on Cyrus's behalf. He was different.“Damian" she hit her staff on the ground, the metallic sound jerked me from my shock. "Y-Y
