Alle Kapitel von You Are Mine, Little Sister: Kapitel 191 – Kapitel 200

The world returned in color and sound; the cold air, the chatter of the crowd, the sweetness of ice cream. I looked to my side where his arm wrapped around mine. His grey eyes held concern. It was then I realized I'd been leaning on him and would've hit the ground if he wasn't holding me."Yeah. I'm good. Sorry." I forced a shaky smile and focused on my melting ice cream, pretending nothing had happened.Dominic didn't seem too convinced though. I felt his curious stare on me as we continued walking. God please. The last thing I wanted was to scare him off with my trauma.But why was I suddenly having these flashes of the Torturer? Were my memories trying to return?Until now, I hadn't been sure if I wanted to get those memories back. I hated the demon so much I didn't want to remember a single thing about him. But then, getting my memories back would also help me remember my friends and families and tell me who I can trust. So maybe I wasn't completely against it.For the next couple

VOID Marshall and Mayor—the Ash Twins.Blayne had told me about them months back, and since then, they'd been a persistent itch. They'd been one of the people that'd been difficult to find. Plus I hadn't been hunting them aggressively since I found Rali; she'd taken priority over my entire existence.Now they followed her here. I had a good feeling they didn't know she was here. Marshall—the twin she'd seen—probably didn't even see her last night, and that was good news, because I was sure he was still around somewhere.‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ RALI'I'll find them, Rali. And you'll see I was right about keeping you safe.'I'd doubted those very words two days ago. So staring at the two mugshots in front of me felt like someone had unplugged me from reality."Ma'am? Are those the men?" The cop repeated gently.My lips hadn't closed yet from the shock, my eyebrows creased with surprise. I looked from the two cops to Dominic who was leaning by the wall close to the door."How?" The word sounde

RALII woke to a pair of cold gray eyes already waiting for me. They were so close they swallowed my whole view.Dominic lay shirtless on his side beside me, one arm tucked beneath his head, the other idly tracing invisible shapes on the pillow. He looked like he'd been watching me long enough to memorize the exact second my eyelashes fluttered awake."Hey," he said, his voice deep and sweet in the way winter could be sweet—beautiful, cold, and quietly deadly."Hey." I whispered back. My voice sounded small and tired and yet strangely at peace.The window behind him was pitch-black. "How long was I out?""A couple of hours."Shit. "Is Marovelle back?"I didn't want to imagine that woman walking in and catching me and a shirtless man in her house. She'd burn the place down out of shock.His lips twitched, the smallest hint of humor slipping through his calm. "Not yet."I drew in a slow, steadying breath and let it out on a quiet sigh.I glanced down at my naked self. I couldn't bel

His eyes no longer pretended to be kind. They screamed what he truly was. The monster everyone had warned me about. The villain my mind had tried to erase.I took a step back.Then another.My breath came out shaky and uneven. I didn't want to react. I didn't want to expose what I had realized. But the moment he appeared in that doorway, I knew—He already knew I knew."I was just arranging my stuff." I tried a lie anyway, even though I knew he wouldn't buy a word of it.He said nothing; just watched me.Seconds stretched thin. The silence grew so heavy it pressed against my ears.Then I knew it was game over.I turned and bolted for the bathroom, hoping to lock myself in and call for help. But the devil has always been faster than those who already fell prey for him. He was on me before I even made it to the door.My scream was the kind banshees used, yet no walls crumbled to save me from him. His hand wrapped around my chest and the other around my waist. With impossible strength, h

My hands curled tight around the bundle of clothes. It was my fault. If I'd kept my fear of men alive, if I'd never trusted him, maybe I wouldn't be standing here now in his cage.I turned my back to him and changed as swiftly as I could.When I was done, he took the towel from me without a word. He stepped back into the bathroom, then returned moments later and guided me to the bed.I was surprised when he pulled out a message oil, sat beside me, and placed my leg on his lap."Stop it. I don't—""We could do this chained."I stopped struggling.His hands on me burned. I'd do anything to get them off. I couldn't believe the asshole was trying so hard to act normal. Like we weren't enemies and I didn't wish to kill him.He could keep deluding himself. One way or another, I'll escape this place. And when I did, I'd run so far he'd never find the dust of me again......Light from the screen flickered over my face, and my smile mirrored the one on TV.As I laughed, a mellow breeze slippe
