Hunt Me, Mark Me のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 81 - チャプター 90

Magnus I dropped her corpse to the ground and stumbled towards my chamber. A scorching heat burned through my flesh, like it wanted to peel the skin off my bones. Celeste rushed in after me, shutting the door behind her. Her expression changed when she saw the pattern on my sleeve. “What is that?” She asked, lips trembling. My knees buckled to the ground as I growled trying to control myself but the pain was excruciating. The sound of all Sabine’s coven screaming as they burned to ash echoed in my head. My heart kept pounding like it was trying to escape the heat in my chest. My body trembled as their faces flashed in my mind repeatedly. “Alpha Voss…” Celeste called as she rushed to assist me to my feet. The second her hands touched my skin, the mark flared burning me all over again and my body collapsed to the ground. “Stay away from me! Don't touch me!” I roared, clawing at my face, trying to stop the ache but nothing seemed to work. “I'm… I'm sorry,” I don't understand wha

Magnus ~Present day~The smell of lavender filled my lungs, my eyes slowly flickered open but there was a bright blinding light in front of me. I had completely healed but I still felt weak to the bones. My head felt heavy and my heart pounded in a slow rhythm, not enough to pump blood throughout my body. I was on my knees, hands chained to the wall, hanging in the air. My wrist was slit open and a portion of crushed leaf was pressed inside the cut. I knew that smell anywhere. Fresh wolfbane. Cicada must have chained me when I passed out. The fresh wolfbane was preventing the cut from healing, and slowly my blood absorbed the wolfbane. Even though it weakened me it wasn't enough to kill me. “I was wondering when you'd wake up…” Nuel's soft voice came in from across the room. I took a deep breath, straining my eyes to see him but I couldn’t through the blinding light. “You know how this ends. You, Seraphine, and Cicada,” I said calmly, the thought of how I would punish him strea

Earis My cells ignited by the sound of his roar. My body compelled me to move, and rush into the building to save him, but the slight second I turned to look at the mansion, something clicked shut around my wrist.The world fell silent instantly like I had been pulled from drowning. “That mark is turning you, the more you accept him, the faster it consumes you until there's nothing left of you!” He said, chest heaving from the struggle. I looked down at what he had snapped around my wrist. It wasn’t an ordinary one-handed cuff, it was sleek, forged from some kind of dark, brushed metal that shimmered faintly, almost like a piece of advanced tech. The longer I stared at it, the more I realized there was something unnatural about its design. At the center where a lock should have been, a small crystal pulsed a violet light that spiraled outward, like it were alive. The moment it touched my skin, I felt the bond inside me recoil. The mark that had been burned and spread across my ch

Earis “Earis where the fuck have you been! Pick up your phone or at least reply to my text. Marble told me you went to Paris! Seriously?” “Happy birthday Earis, Dad says you'll be home soon.” “Come home.” On and on the message flooded in the second I unlocked my phone screen. None of them held more weight than those two words ‘Come home.’ They throbbed in my skull like a threat.Seeing the message alone made my stomach twist into knots. My father wasn't one to text or even call, so I knew that message meant he was ready for me. It had barely been two hours since we got back to Magnus's Mansion in Westridge. He had left me in his room and took Nuel to somewhere called the torture chamber. The portrait he had made for me was placed on the couch, tied with a red ribbon. I had no intention of opening it. Honestly, I was still quite furious at him.My phone buzzed, and the sound of it made my breath hitch. The caller had no ID.I picked up the call and a strange voice spoke. “Hello

Earis I can't just leave Magnus here with a fucking siren. He seemed to be more intoxicated than the rest of them. But truly this was my chance to return to the Mansion and find Nuel, if he was still alive.I turned to Magnus, backing Celeste. “I think I should go,” I said, meeting his gaze. I saw him blink hard, like he was trying to clear the dirt of her unintentional compulsion. “No! I brought you here for a reason,” he said, grabbing my arm.“I didn't mean to create a problem. I hope I haven't upset you, my lady,” Celeste said from behind me. “I would really like to leave, it seems you have a lot to catch up on. It's okay, I'll be waiting for you,” I said, grabbing his arm and pulling them off me. Of course, I didn't expect him to agree so easily. I wanted him to refuse to let me go, no matter what he felt for Celeste. I needed him to fight it. But there's no way in hell I'll tell him that. And I can't outrightly say she was a siren. It would change nothing. “Fine, if you i
