Semua Bab My Monster: Bab 1 - Bab 10

DANIKA "I can't do this," I breathe, hovering at the bottom of the stairs leading to Tyler's room. Dinner with the Harrisons is finally happening. And now, Ember, Tyler's mom has asked me to go and get him to come downstairs. It should be pretty easy, right? My eyes are obviously swollen from all the pathetic crying I'd done. And I feel uncomfortable in my dress. Still, it's the best dress I have. It hugs all of my curves, which had earned me the title 'fatty' in high school. Screw this. Taking a shaky breath, I head upstairs. With every step I take, my heart threatens to explode right out of my chest. And finally, I get to my destination. Tyler's room. I raise a hand to knock on the door, and that's when I hear it. "Never. Why the heck would I be into her?" I freeze. "Figures. She's fat and naive. I bet you're just keeping her around because she's pitiful," a different male voice speaks up, and my stomach twists. "She looks lonely all the time. I guess I

DANIKA All that goes through my mind in an instant is the urge to flee from him immediately. So I try. I dive for the door, fear sinking deep into me. He sighs, pulling me back onto his lap with a firm grip on my waist. "Relax," he says, and my heart pounds even harder. How can I relax, especially when his eyes are glowing in an unnatural way? "I want to go home," I blurt out, and he shakes his head. "No." My eyes widen. "W-what? Are you...are you going to kidnap me?" He shrugs. "If you run from me, I will." A shiver runs down my spine. He definitely means it. What have I done? I wonder, my palms getting sweaty. "Will you let me explain myself?" He asks. He seems desperate. It makes me falter. So I nod, slowly. "I'm a werewolf," he says, and I freeze. Ravenhollow's unspoken rule, the myths about nightwalkers... suddenly everything makes sense. "You shift under the moonlight?" I ask, and he cracks a smile at me, his dimples popping out. I try to pretend t

DANIKA I should take it back. What was I thinking? But the moment he looks at me, really looks at me, every ounce of logic starts to crash. His chest is rising and falling heavily, the veins in his forearms straining. He runs his fingers through his midnight-black hair, his lashes lowering. "Danika..." he utters thickly. "You don't know what you're asking for." The sound of my name in that rough growl makes heat flood my veins. I shouldn't want this. But I do. I want him so badly I can barely think straight. “You started this…why are you pulling away now?” I breathe. “You don’t understand. I’m not—“ he sighs. “I’m the kind of my man mothers warn their daughters to stay away from.” My gaze betrays me, sliding down his frame. He's dressed like a professor. Crisp white shirt, sleeves rolled up, the stretch of muscle straining against the fabric, and black slacks that cling to his hips. But he isn't some boring academic. He's ten times sexier than I remember. Tho

KAZIEL I linger in the shadows outside the orientation party venue, loud music floating through the walls. Laughter, chatter, footsteps... all of it fades beneath the sound of her heartbeat. Even in a crowd, I can hear it. She's nervous.Danika steps inside, her little black dress clinging to her body. She is temptation incarnate.My jaw tightens as my eyes trail over every curve. Her luscious tits pressing against the neckline, the curve of her waist, and the thick thighs I ache to spread wide. My cock throbs painfully, straining against my zipper until I can barely breathe.What the fuck are you wearing, sweetheart...I curse under my breath, dragging my hand over my mouth, fighting the urge to storm through the doors and tear that dress off her body. She freezes suddenly, like prey catching the scent of its hunter. Her head turns, scanning the place, her lips parted.She feels my presence. Interesting.Her wide eyes dart over the crowd, searching for me. I press myself b

DANIKA My stomach churns as I await Kaziel's response. He parts his lips to speak. But suddenly, his gaze darts in my direction. Quickly, I hide myself away, pressing my back to the wall. I swallow hard, praying he didn't see me. I hurry back to class, keeping my head hanging low as my thoughts go out of control. I should've known. Whatever I have with Kaziel is too good to be true. If Eve is the one I must compete with, why should I bother? She's everything I will never be. A lump forms in my throat, my chest tightening as I sit on my stool. A few seconds later, Kaziel walks in. His burning gaze meets mine, and I look away instantly, lightly tracing my fingers over the handkerchief tied around my palm. Still, I can feel his eyes on me. I desperately want to sink into the ground and disappear. When Eve returns, I barely acknowledge her. I can't help but zone out as lectures begin. Much later, I head to the cafe to grab something to drink. As I wait for my vanilla h
