I am Death

My heart sank to the floor. No, no… He wasn’t supposed to wake up. My hand stayed on the doorknob.“I asked you a question.” I heard him throwing the covers off and getting up.I turned around. He glanced at his cellphone on the bedside table and noticed his keys and wallet were missing.“I’m leaving.” I said. Don’t make me kill you. Please, I don’t want to.But I will, snarled the wolf.He chuckled, “Yeah?” With measured steps, he came towards me. His eyes held no warmth, no crinkles around them when he smiled. I hardly recognized him. “I don’t think so,” he said. His deadly tone sent shivers down my spine.“You can’t stop me, Yves.” I turned the knob, and the door clicked open.He came closer, with palms extended, trying to convince me of his innocence. “I’m sorry you eavesdropped on our conversation, baby. It’s not what you think,” his tone condescended.A bitter half-laugh escaped me. “Really? It’s exactly what I think. You are selling girls. Sex traffickers.” I spat the words at

I just want her back

Magnus“You’re leaving? Now?” Elise came running after me. “Magnus… Where are you going?” The desperation in her voice stabbed at me.I turned around to answer her, taking her hands in mine and wishing I could feel something more for her than I do. “I’ll be back before the ceremony, Elise. This is something I must do.” The ball and the ceremony will take place next week. There was still time to find Erina.“You’re running after Erina.” There was no accusation in her voice, just a small, sad statement. She shared my bed, but that was all it ever was. I used her. I used all of them to fill the void left by Victoria. But it was only Erina who filled the emptiness. I needed her.“I must bring her home.” But I wanted to give her the choice she never had. Still, I hoped she would choose me. “She must birth her pup here. He belongs to the pack.” It was a valid excuse. As king, I couldn’t allow one of my own to grow up rogue.Her face showed her doubt and fear that I would not honor my promis

My Family

Hein“Daphne,” I cleared my throat, needing to speak to her about what happened at the vineyard. It was not fair to Daphne, but I couldn’t resist the pull to Erina. When I saw her there, my self-control went out of the window. It was raw and dirty, but I don’t regret it. What I regret was hurting Daphne.I heard her in the kitchen while she prepared our dinner, while I lay in bed, still recovering from my beating.“Yeah?” she replied absentmindedly, stirring the stew. “You need something?”“Can you come here for a minute?” Since our return from Burgundy, we’ve been avoiding the painful subject. Then Magnus punished me for disobeying his direct order, and Daphne busied herself with tending my wounds. She did it with stoic determination, but there was a tenderness in her hands, which I didn’t expect nor deserved. Magnus hasn’t been back to speak to me.She came into the room, bringing the aroma of meat with her. Her lips thinned when she looked at me, arms folded. “What?”I patted the

Lost in the Aftermath

ErinaI kept on walking, having nowhere in particular to go. Just one foot in front of the other. I have no plans, no one to turn to. This was it. I was truly on my own, and it was a scary place to be. Just breathe, Erina, keep on breathing. Keep on walking. Walking away from the carnage I left behind, the wailing of sirens followed.Traffic rushed past me on the tarmac. I welcomed the smell of rubber on tar, exhaust fumes expelling the metallic aftertaste of blood in my nose and mouth.“Don’t think. Don’t think.” I whispered to myself.But the shock of what I did kept on echoing in my mind. The blood. There was so much of it. His heart in my hand… I killed him with my bare hands. No, not me. It was the wolf. It was her. She ate his heart.Threw up again in the bushes next to the road, crying on my knees, “I didn’t want to. I swear I didn’t want to kill him.” Raw sobs tore from my throat, but there was no one around to hear them. No one to absolve me of my sins.Never would I have tho

My Mistake

MagnusFor a long time, I sat staring at my phone while the miles rolled by. I longed to hear her voice say my name, but what if he answered? What would I say to him? Maybe she wouldn’t even want to speak to me. How would I find them then?Carina said they could be in Cannes or in Monaco. That was a wide area to cover, and I didn’t have much time. I promised Elise I would be back for the ceremony.My heart was a stone in my chest when I thought about the impending crowning ceremony. The longer I thought about it, I didn’t want Elise to be my queen. It was a mistake. But I couldn’t go back on my word.It was a promise made of desperation and heartbreak. Impulsiveness, if you could call it that. A moment of utter madness because I thought I had lost Erina forever.If I brought Erina back, if she wanted to join me, it would be as a mistress. Unless Elise demanded I send her away. She would have the right as my queen, and I knew how she hated her. But I would only reject Erina if she hers

Caught

ErinaWaiting for Magnus to phone me back, I ate slowly, every bite a torturous effort because of the knot in my stomach. Even the clatter of cutlery as the servers cleared the tables set me on edge. Calm down, I told myself. Don’t draw attention to yourself. But the smell of various foods and the overwhelming aroma of coffee nauseated me. I struggled to keep my breakfast down, but I did. My body needed it. I haven’t eaten a decent meal in days.Magnus… It was so good to hear his voice last night. I was so overwhelmed I couldn’t speak properly. Oh God, I never realized how much I missed him, his deep voice that rumbled through me, his eyes, his touch… But what if he hated me for leaving? What if he didn’t want me back? What if he… No, Magnus wouldn’t kill me. Would he punish me?An icy shiver ran through me, remembering the way he tortured Hanna with no emotion, no compassion. He was a marble statue then, watching as the whip shredded her back. Surely he wouldn’t let me be whipped? I

Subterfuge

MagnusErik finally showed up at the hotel. I’ve been waiting all through the night, going crazy with concern for Erina. Drank way too much wine, the sour smell hung in the hotel room like a bad memory. “What the fuck took you so long?” I had to take a shower to clear my pounding head.“I’m sorry, Magnus.” He placed the motorbike helmet on the dresser next to the four empty bottles of wine I had for dinner. “There was a problem at the castle, and I was detained.”“Detained?” The leather outfit looked good on him, I thought. “You took my Hayabusa?”“The guards wouldn’t let me pass without your permission. They thought I had stolen your property. But Hein took care of it.” He raked his hand through his dark locks.“That is a collector’s item.” I had a few of those. Not that I cared that much about it. It was a passing fancy I had for a time.“I wanted to get here as fast as possible,” was his excuse.I took the towel from around my waist and rubbed my damp hair and my torso with it unti

Salvation

ErinaDarkness. Pressing down on me. Suffocating… I gasped for breath and inhaled the familiar coppery smell of blood. My last coherent memory: Lee and Paulette, faces blurry, forcing me into the car after the prick of a needle. I blinked a few times. My brain was foggy. Focus. Magnus was out there, searching. I had to escape these…humans. When did I start thinking of myself as not human?Dread coiled tighter in my gut as my vision slowly adjusted to the gloom. Still in the car, in a silent, shadowed alley. Eerily quiet. Too quiet. Where were they? Had they left me? Why the blood? I pushed myself upright.Lee slumped against the car door. Sleeping? I desperately wanted to believe it, but the metallic scent screamed the truth. I warned them. She would come. Reaching out, I touched his shoulder. No need to search for a pulse. His body toppled forward, slamming against the steering wheel. The sudden, deafening blare of the horn pierced the silence, setting my teeth on edge.“No, no….”

Where You Belong

MagnusI tried calling Yves’ phone again a few times, and when a female voice answered at last, I was beyond myself with worry. Her explanation of why she had the phone made it tenfold worse, but at least we knew where to look. She gave me the address of the coffee shop, and I urged the driver to drive like he stole it.It was Erik who saw her first when we were on the boardwalk, following the green blip on the tracker’s screen. When he called out to her, she didn’t turn to look. She ran, stumbling over the loose sand. “Erina!” I shouted with all the urgency and fear I had in my voice. Thank the gods, our bond forced her to her knees. She sat there on the sand with her head bent. I vaulted over the railings of the boardwalk and sprinted over the sand to get to her. Erik followed.“Magnus…” she collapsed into my arms, and I lifted her and carried her back to the limo, ignoring the curious stares of onlookers. My heart returned to my body. I could breathe again.“Is she alright?” Erik a

A Four-letter Word

ErinaLove. It was a four-letter word. So easily said, but what did it mean? Just something said to get what you wanted?I looked at him, the Lycan who said he loved me. For the first time.Hein and Yves said it to get what they wanted from me- my body.He knelt by my chair, and the streetlights cast moving shadows over his handsome face. I reached up to touch his cheek, and my fingers lingered over the coarse stubble. He had some gray at his temples that wasn’t there before. Of course, he was aging now, mortal.“Do you?” I asked, my voice harsh. “Would you love me if you knew what I did?” I wanted to shock him, to show him just how far I had fallen from the innocent virgin I had been. “How many times I let Yves fuck me, use me like a whore? You see, I am not so different from Victoria.” I left out what happened between Hein and me. What would he do if I told him how Hein took me like an animal, and I loved it? I didn’t even care how I hurt my sister, not while Hein was fucking me.Ma
