บททั้งหมดของ My Arch Nemesis in my Bed: บทที่ 151 - บทที่ 160

I opened my eyes and immediately regretted it because the light coming through the window felt like someone was driving nails directly into my brain. Every single muscle in my body felt like it had been put through a meat grinder and then badly reassembled.The ceiling above me was dark wood with exposed beams and I stared at it for a long moment trying to figure out where the hell I was. This definitely wasn’t my room and the bed I was lying in was way too comfortable and way too big to be anywhere I’d been before.I tried to sit up and my entire body screamed in protest loud enough that I gave up immediately and flopped back down onto the pillows. My head was pounding like someone had taken a hammer to it repeatedly.“Okay,” I muttered to the unfamiliar ceiling. “This is fine. Everything is totally fine. I’m definitely not dying or anything.”“You’re not dying,” Nyx said in my head, and her voice was so much clearer now than it had been before, like she was actually sitting next to

The throne room of the Corvus stronghold had been magnificent once, but now it looked like it was rotting from the inside out which honestly was pretty fitting considering the man sitting on the throne. The marble floors were cracked in places where roots from the forest had broken through. The throne itself was still impressive, carved from black stone that was said to had been taken from a witch’s tower during the purge wars, but the man sitting on it looked like he might turn to dust if someone breathed on him too hard.Jonathan stood at the base of the dais with a goblet of blood in his hand, still fresh from the morning feeding and tried not to let his impatience show on his face while his father took forever to lift his own drink.He wanted to offer help but he’d learned decades ago that suggesting his father needed assistance was a good way to get thrown against a wall so he just stood there and waited.King Corvus had always been thin, all vampires were when they got old enou

The southern border was empty except for trees and disturbed dirt that could have been from deer or anything else, and Luca stood there with Jaxon realizing they’d sprinted halfway across pack territory for absolutely nothing.“There’s nothing here,” Jaxon said, stating what was already painfully obvious. He sounded as confused as Luca felt.Luca’s phone buzzed and when he pulled it out the message was brief: “Your father. It’s time.”He stared at those words and felt his stomach drop because he knew what they meant. His father was actively passing to the next realm right now, and if Luca wasn’t there for the power transfer everything could go catastrophically wrong for the entire pack.“I need to get back,” Luca said, already turning toward the vehicles. “What about the vampire report?” Jaxon asked.“There was no one here,” Luca said, and the pieces were clicking together in a way he didn’t like. “Someone called in a false alarm”The thought made unease settle in his chest because f

OREGONThe coffee shop near campus was mostly empty at three in the afternoon on a Tuesday, which was why Naomi had suggested meeting there instead of the library where they’d have to whisper and pretend to actually study. She sat at their usual corner table with Riley on her left and Ethan across from her, and all three of them were staring at their phones like the devices might suddenly provide answers they desperately needed.“Still nothing,” Riley said, dropping his phone on the table. “I’ve texted her like twenty times in the last three days and she hasn’t responded to any of them.”“Jessica said she hasn’t been back to the dorm in over a week,” Naomi added, scrolling through her own unanswered texts to Lily. “She’s been gone since last week Thursday and no one knows where she went.”Ethan leaned back and rubbed his eyes. “We really screwed up. Showing her those medical records like that, just dumping it all on her at once.”“You think?” Naomi shot him a look. “Maybe you could h

Jonathan was about to press the record button when the door burst open hard enough that the wood frame splintered and Cain stormed in looking like he was about two seconds away from murdering everyone in the room.“Get away from her,” Cain said, his voice rough. “Right now.”Jonathan lowered his phone slowly and smiled when he saw who’d interrupted. “And here comes the jealous puppy. Right on schedule. I was wondering how long it would take you to track us down.”Naomi felt relief flood through her so intense she couldn’t breathe properly for a second, followed immediately by confusion and terror because what was Cain doing here and how had he even known where to find them. “Cain, you need to run. Get out of here, he’s going to kill you.”“I’m not going anywhere,” Cain said, positioning himself between Naomi and Jonathan without taking his eyes off the vampire. “Let them go.”“This is adorable,” Jonathan said, tucking his phone back in his pocket. “Really, I’m touched by the heroic re
