All Chapters of My Monster: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

DANIKA I watch as blood drains from his face, his eyes widening with shock. I swallow hard, worry gnawing at my senses. A cold feeling of dread floods my insides, my hands already trembling. "W-why? Is it bad?" I ask, bracing myself for a terrifying response. "You have the sanctum energy. It's enough power to level an entire city. Having the power of the vessel as well is like placing a chemical bomb in a container filled with sulphuric acid and not expecting an explosion," he replies, and my soul practically leaves my body. It feels like I've just been given a death sentence. Tears well up in my eyes, my heart racing. But then Kaziel reaches for me and pulls me close. His warm dark chocolate scent washes over me, and I close my eyes, resting my head on his chest. "It doesn't matter. Nothing is going to take you away from me, I promise," he says with a tone of utter finality, and I nod, in desperate need of an assurance to hold on to. "I won't let you suffer. Ever. Not unde

DANIKA The words have barely left Tyler's lips when suddenly goosebumps appear on my skin. Startled, I turn around to see three figures hiding in the shadows, their eyes glowing white. My heart sinks. Instantly, I tug at Cora's arm. "You feel them too," she breathes, and I nod. She exhales softly, grabbing my hand. "Dani," she utters. "Run!" We both take off at once, my heart threatening to leap out of my throat. Tyler must be stunned. Well, serves the bastard right. "Don't look back, Dani! Whatever you do, don't look!" he yells, and I grit my teeth. My wolf's strength eases into my bones until I'm practically on par with Cora's vampire speed. It's insane, I can barely feel my toes. Suddenly, Cora and I skid to a grinding halt, three more ghostly figures appearing in our path. "Close your eyes, Dani!" My best friend tells me, her voice trembling with worry. Quickly, I squeeze my eyes shut, tightening my grip on Cora's. I'm slowly losing my mind, unsure of what's going on

KAZIEL "Alpha, she's stable now," Doctor Callen tells me, and I nod, sucking in a shaky breath. But it doesn't make me feel better because I know she probably failed to kill the wraith and has restarted the loop. I stroke my thumb along Danika's pale cheek, my vision blurring with tears. I thought I knew what it means to be powerless and helpless, but I was wrong. Something warm slides down my cheek, and Callen sighs beside me."Alpha," his voice is laced with pain and worry. I shake my head slowly, kissing Dani's burning forehead."I'm losing her. I can...feel it," I croak, squeezing my eyes shut. My head throbs, my chest constricting. Almost like my body can tell that I am losing my woman.I'm terrified out of my mind. I don't remember ever being this scared."Please, be strong, Alpha. Your condition is still fragile. Contrary to what you may believe, the poison in your body hasn't been completely neutralized," Callen points out, and I nod numbly.My phone rings out, and I t

DANIKA His voice is small and unsteady when he utters those precious words. But they pierce deep into my heart until I'm sobbing. His eyes widen slightly."I—" He swallows hard.Kaziel cups my face with shaking hands."I love you," he whispers softly. "And it's terrifying. I don't know what it means for us. But I can't take it back."I lean in to kiss him right then, pouring all of my emotions into it. I let him feel my ache for him, my gratitude, my relief, my happiness and my desire. And he kisses me just as intensely, holding me closer. We don't stop until we're both running out of air, breathing hard."Kaziel..." My voice trembles. "I never thought anyone would say that to me. Especially not like this."His breathing falters."I used to be the girl people overlooked. The one no one would chose. The one who tried to take up as little space as possible so I wouldn't be a burden. I was always scared someone would look at me too closely and realize I wasn't worth wanting."A w

[FLASHBACK]KAZIEL "See? Nothing happened. We completed the bond, and we're both perfectly fine," Vanya tells me with a giggle, her naked body snuggling against mine. She traces lazy circles over my chest, her smile dreamy.For the first time in a long while, I feel whole."Fine," I murmur, brushing a kiss to her forehead. "Maybe you were right.""I'm always right," she teases sleepily.Her breathing steadies. Mine does too.We fall asleep tangled together, her heartbeat syncing with mine. A sharp pain in my chest drags me from my slumber. Dazed and confused, I reach for Vanya. But her side of the bed is empty. I listen closely for the sound of her heartbeat, but I hear nothing. I'm all alone in the house."Vanya?" I call out, wondering if my ears are playing tricks on me. But she doesn't reply, and the pain in my chest worsens.I squint at the wall clock. It's been two hours since we fell asleep. Where would she go by this time? It's almost one a.m.My phone rings aloud, and
