I was born for this

Victoria’s POVHe pushed me into a room and locked the door.Stay calm, I told myself. Is he calling the cops?No, he would have done that by now. I paced for a bit, then slid down the wall. My eyelids became heavy, and I finally fell asleep.Someone lifted me, and my eyes flung open. The same man was there, his gaze cold.He threw me onto a bed. “How’s your…” I glanced at his pants.“Better,” he smirked. “Name?”“Gina,” I said.“Try again, little girl.”“Don’t call me that,” I replied sharply, sizing him up.“Alright, let’s try something else,” he said, loosening his tie and starting to unbutton his shirt. Terror surged throughout me.“Fine, stop. Victoria. My name’s Victoria.”He kept undressing, taking off his shirt and then his pants.I jumped off the bed and backed into a corner, searching for anything I could use as a weapon.“Damian,” he said. “My name. Sleep. You’ll need it.” He lay down and closed his eyes.I stayed curled up in the corner, knees pulled to my chest, terrified

It's not about me

The place was fancy. I had no idea who owned it, but Damian kept a firm grip on my hand while we stepped inside, didn’t wait to get you out of that dress," he muttered low, grinning."Sorry, guys, you didn’t need to hear that," I said, smirking.Wire’s laugh crackled on my earpiece. Space, as usual, stayed silent."Alright, you’re clear," Wire said. "Good luck."Inside, it looked like a damn museum. The guy was clearly a collector."Downstairs," I motioned to Damian. "I’ll take the lead."He kissed my hand, then let it slip away.I clasped the skirt of my dress and headed down the stairs. I was almost at the bottom when the door opened. Thane stood there, looking at me as if I’d just crashed his party."Victoria?" he blinked, eyebrows shooting up. His look dropped to my dress, then he took two quick steps and pulled me into a hug.I eased back gently. "Thane, what the hell are you doing here?""Long story," he said, but then his eyes trailed past me. I turned to see Damian."You’re wi

And who might you be?

" Where are you going?" Damian's footsteps quickened behind me.I spun to face him. "Stay away from me, Damian." I pushed him hard with both hands." I love you, Victoria.""No. You like to own things." I cut the distance between us with my hand. "This isn't love. Don't follow me."I walked quickly down the empty streets until a motorcycle pulled up next to me. Thane handed me a helmet. I put on my backpack and got on behind him without saying a word.We rode out past the city to his house, hidden in the woods. He took my hand, led me inside, took off my helmet, and kissed me deeply.I broke the kiss. " Thane..."" I missed you," he spoke quietly, arms held around my waist. After a moment, he loosened his grip. "So. Damian, huh?""Trouble follows me everywhere. Traitors surround me."" We'll sleep tonight. Tomorrow, I'm taking you to my pack." His voice rose sharply. "Don't argue, Victoria. I should have taken you with me that day. Fuck.""Please calm down. I can handle myself."" Yea

You're safe here

A male voice cut through the air behind me. "Back off. Thane has made it clear he's not interested, Kaylen.""Ms. Victoria," the voice went on, more softly now, "I've been assigned as your personal security. Try to act as if I'm not here."I inhaled slowly, steadying myself.Kayla's laughter appeared sharp. "Look at that, he sent you a bodyguard with one eye.""That's enough, Kayla," I said, my voice rigid.She crept closer, sneering. "I'll say whatever I want." The man grasped her arm, pulling her back."Consider this your only warning," he said evenly."Whatever," Kayla muttered, retreating down the hallway.Once she was gone, I glanced up at him. "Don't worry about her. I'm used to bullies. What should I call you?""Pirate," he replied.I looked at him, wondering if this was some joke.Nodded and followed Jane to my quarters.The room was enormous, with a four-poster bed, silk curtains, and a marble bathroom. I headed straight for the shower.When I emerged wrapped in a plush towel

Don't panic

" Victoria, that's not my story to tell. You'll have to ask him yourself," Pirate said.Boredom drove me into the shadowy forest despite Pirate trailing behind, ignoring my assurances that I'd be fine.A bear cub ambled across my path. My mind flashed: Mama bear must be nearby. Behind me, Pirate called for me to return. Then she appeared, massive, watchful, standing between me and her offspring."Enjoy your evening," I whispered. "Your little one's quite spirited."She blinked once, and after I offered a gentle smile, she turned away, disappearing with her cub into the trees.Pirate's warm breath tickled my neck."Are you alright?" His face had drained of color."Why wouldn't I be? Animals and I understand each other.""Right," he laughed nervously. "Let's keep this between us.""Agreed."I turned to find Thane watching us. Pirate slipped away."Not enjoying yourself?" Thane asked."I am, actually, no. I won't lie to you."He pressed his lips to my forehead. "Drink?""Trying to get me

Blue ice

I jolted awake, crammed between Pirate and a stranger with muscles rippling under his torn shirt. My knees jammed against my chin, bones aching from hours in this position.Every time I drifted off, my head snapped forward and then crashed onto the stranger's shoulder. His warmth seeped through me. When his head dropped against mine, my heart raced despite the danger.BANG! The doors flew open. My eyes locked with his, piercing blue, cold as arctic ice. Mr. Blue Ice. Perfect name."Where the hell are we?" I hissed, rage boiling as Cadmus's betrayal hit me again. The stench of sweat and fear choked the cramped van."MOVE!" A guard shoved me forward, metal cuffs biting into my wrists as they chained me to Mr. Ice."Wait…" The guard's hand cracked across my face. Pain exploded through my jaw. Blood sprayed from my split lip.I slammed my foot into his shin with everything I had. He howled, raising his fist for another blow.Mr. Ice's hand shot out, crushing the guard's wrist. "FUCK OFF b

Every second

" Do you have a death wish?" he whispered.I tried to lift my head. "Why do you care?" His hand pressed me back down, gentle but firm."I want in," he said. "On your escape plan.""I don't trust someone who won't even share his name.""Makarius."A wild laugh escaped me. "No... how?" I squeezed my eyes shut, inhaling deeply. Coincidence? Or something else entirely?I managed to sit up, facing him. "Makarius. Interesting choice. Where'd you get it?""Picked it up somewhere." He shrugged. "I'm nameless, really. A drifter.""Where exactly are we?""The dungeons.""Seriously? What is this, the Dark Ages?" I glanced around at the stone walls.His laugh caught me off guard."You should smile more often," I blurted, then stood quickly. "Come on. Dungeons always have secret exits.""What about Pirate?" he asked."I'm not actually escaping. Just looking for herbs, for your wound and Pirate's eye."The hairpin clicked in the lock, and the door swung open. I peered down the empty corridor.I gra

Just don't start a war

Balthazar’s POVI was pacing the office when the door swung open, and Damian stepped in."Thane took her," he said, cutting straight to it. "Look, Balthazar…"Before he could finish, the door burst open again, and Drystan stormed in."How the hell did you lose her?" he snarled, getting right in Damian’s face."I… we fought," Damian stammered."You touched her?" Drystan snapped, shoving him hard."She wanted it," Damian shot back, defensive. "I couldn’t…""You fell for her?" Drystan slammed his hands on the desk, leaning forward."I didn’t mean to," Damian muttered, burying his face in his hands. "Have you seen her?""Enough," I cut in sharply. "We need to find her. Now.""Thane’s got her," my spy interjected. "Wants to make her his Luna."Drystan turned to the window, his jaw tight."She won’t accept it," I said.They both spun toward me."What makes you so sure?" Drystan demanded."Think about it," I replied. "She told me once, a bond like that. It’s only worth it if it’s real. She b

I can play this game too

He kissed me, and I kissed him back, my mouth still half-full.Silence.“Say, something, Pirate. I need…”“Stay away from him,” he blurted out.“Why?”“I mean, he’s hot, not going to lie…”“Focus, Pirate. Yeah, I got that part. And, you know, planning on having some fun,” I added with a wink.“He looks like trouble,” Pirate said.I choked on my water, spitting it out. “Him? Trouble?” I wiped my mouth with my sleeve.“Hmm, that actually turns me on,” I whispered.“What turns you on?” Makarius asked, plopping down next to me.“Thanks, Pirate,” I muttered, turning to Makarius. “It was a private conversation.”“Oh, I’m hurt. You slept in my arms; I thought we were a thing.”“What are you talking about?” I felt the anger rising.“Can I suggest something?” Pirate chimed in.“No,” we both snapped.“Don’t flatter yourself, Makarius. You’ll know if…”“You want me?” he whispered in my ear.“Personal space, please. I don’t like being cornered.”“Go on, what else don’t you like?” Makarius asked,

I'm a spy

The scent of flowers hit me first, then something off, chemical, maybe. Funeral vibes, I thought.My eyelids felt like bricks. When I finally pried them open, I was in a cramped room. Makarius was beside me in bed, and Pirate was slumped in a chair, head lolling like a broken doll.I shifted my arm, and Makarius stirred. His lips brushed my shoulder, but his eyes stayed locked on mine.“Let me get you water,” he murmured. I gulped it down like I’d been crawling through a desert. He perched on the edge of the bed, his good arm pulling me to his chest. I held onto him tight.“Never pull that shit again, Victoria,” he whispered. “The arrow was poisoned.”I leaned back. “Who attacked them?”“You think they give prisoners a fucking newsletter?” Makarius shot back.Pirate groaned as he stood, rubbing his neck. “Sleeping in that chair’s going to kill me before anything else does.”“Go rest,” I said. “I’m fine.” He kissed the top of my head, then gave Makarius a look before he left.“Did he j
