31 - GETAWAY

I heard Ryder ask me about a mysterious mate bond in a low whisper, although my panicked mind could not process the true meaning behind his strange question.My head was spinning from the overwhelming noise of the broken frat house, so I just kept my face buried in his warm neck to hide from the terrified crowd.Ryder did not wait for me to give him an answer, because his main priority was getting me away from the sticky mess on the floorboards.He kept his strong arm wrapped securely around my trembling waist, and he began dragging me toward the ruined front doors of the living room.We took a few fast steps toward the exit before a shrill voice cut through the heavy silence of the shocked college students."Ryder, please do not leave me here with these people!" Sienna screamed from the second-floor VIP balcony, and her desperate plea echoed off the high ceiling.I flinched at the loud sound of her voice, since she was the person who orchestrated this cruel trap in the first place.R

32 - EDGE OF CONTROL

I waited for Ryder to answer my question about the broken bone, while the heavy silence inside the dark cabin stretched into a very uncomfortable tension.He kept his glowing amber eyes fixed on the empty road ahead of us, and he flatly ignored my demands for the honest truth.I felt a fresh wave of frustration rise in my chest, because I was exhausted from dealing with all of these massive secrets.The violent events of the frat party replayed in my mind on a continuous loop, and I could still hear the sickening snap of the upperclassman's arm.I knew Ryder was hiding his true nature from me, yet I could not understand why he refused to explain his supernatural actions."You cannot just ignore me after you tossed a massive guy across a room, Ryder," I told him, and I crossed my arms tightly over my ruined clothes."I am not ignoring you, Jaslyn," Ryder replied in a very calm tone, although he still refused to look at my face."You are avoiding my questions, so you are basically lying

33 - FREAKOUT

I stared into the dark shadows of the luxury car, because the impossible sight of his glowing amber eyes shattered every single rational thought inside my human mind.The bright color radiated with a terrifying, wild energy in the dim cabin, and the unnatural glow confirmed all of my worst fears about the secretive Blackwood family.I finally understood how he moved across the crowded frat house so fast, since normal college students did not possess glowing eyes or the strength to snap a heavy bone in half.He was an actual monster sitting right next to me in the driver's seat, so my survival instincts screamed at me to get as far away from his massive chest as possible.I recoiled away from his imposing frame, and I pressed my spine flat against the leather paneling of the heavy passenger door to escape his suffocating proximity.Ryder did not back away from my terrified reaction, although he did tilt his head slightly to study the raw panic spreading across my pale face.His broad s

34 - MONSTER'S REGRET

Jaslyn trembled violently against my chest, and her rapid heartbeat slammed directly against my own ribs through our thick layers of clothing."L-let me go, you f-fucking freak!" Jaslyn screamed while she pushed her small palms hard against my tight shoulders.She twisted her waist in a frantic attempt to escape my lap, but my arms remained locked securely around her body to keep her safely inside the car.The sharp scent of her genuine terror filled the dark cabin, so my inner beast clawed at the inside of my skull in pure agony.My chest ached with a heavy, sharp pressure, since my wild instincts could not handle the harsh reality of my mate shrinking away from my touch.I pushed my dominance way too far tonight, and my dark words pushed her fragile human mind right to the breaking point."P-please do not hurt me," she begged with a broken, terrified sob, and the sound of her crying made my stomach twist into hard knots.I knew I needed to hide the terrifying predator right away, so

35 - SNEAKING IN

I kept my knees pulled tight against my chest, and I stared at the dark trees rushing past the window while his chilling warning about the forest echoed in my ears.I did not want to ask him what kind of dangerous creatures lived in the woods, because I already had a terrifying monster sitting right next to me in the driver's seat.The heavy car rolled down the steep mountain road in absolute silence, and the tense quiet allowed the massive betrayal of my own mother to sink deep into my aching chest.She had poisoned my morning tea every single day to suppress my true nature, and her selfish lies hurt much worse than the cruel trap at the college party.Tears of genuine anger blurred my vision, so I wiped my wet cheeks with the sleeve of my ruined sweater to hide my crying from Ryder."Are you crying, Jaslyn?" Ryder asked from the dark shadows of the cabin, although he did not take his glowing eyes off the winding dirt road."I am not crying over you, so just keep your eyes on the dam

36 - KING'S

I turned my back on Jaslyn in the narrow servant corridor, and I walked away before my fragile self-control failed me in the dark.My heavy boots thudded loudly against the plush carpet of the long hallway, while a deep ache settled directly behind my ribs.I clenched my hands into tight fists at my sides, and my jaw throbbed with a sharp pain because I was grinding my teeth together so hard.The raw scent of her genuine terror still lingered inside my nose, so my inner wolf paced in furious, restless circles inside my mind.I hated seeing her shrink away from me in the car, yet I knew my violent actions at the frat party caused her severe distress.I just wanted to protect her from that cruel trap, although my brutal display of dominance only proved her worst fears about my true nature.I needed a strong drink to numb the chaotic noise in my head, so I headed straight toward my private wing on the west side of the massive estate.The grand corridors were empty at this late hour, and

37 - WRATH

"You always put your political games above the actual people in this pack," I accused him, and I glared down at his dark silhouette."Do not lecture me about leadership when you cannot even control your own temper in public," Damien growled back, and he leaned forward in the leather chair."I do not care about the politics, since Jaslyn is the only girl I want," I confessed the raw truth, and my voice wavered slightly as the heavy words hung in the quiet room.Damien let out a very long, tired sigh, and he leaned back against the dark chair to study my tense face in the faint moonlight."Vanessa warned me that you were growing far too attached to her strange daughter, yet I never thought you would be this foolish," my father muttered, and he rubbed his bearded jaw with a heavy hand."Jaslyn is not strange, and Vanessa is a liar who poisons her own child every single morning," I revealed the dark secret, and I hoped the truth would shift his anger toward the real villain."I already kn

38 - SINK'S INVESTIGATION

I ran up the grand carpeted staircase as fast as my trembling legs could carry me, because the dark shadows of the silent mansion felt incredibly dangerous tonight.My wet sneakers squeaked against the polished hardwood floors of the second-level corridor, and I kept glancing over my shoulder to make sure nobody was following me.The massive house was perfectly quiet, yet my heightened senses picked up the faint creaks of the old floorboards settling in the cool night air.I hurried past the long row of closed guest bedroom doors, and I prayed I would not run into any of the night staff patrolling the upper floors.I finally reached the heavy wooden door of my private bedroom, so I grabbed the brass handle and shoved myself inside the dark space.I pushed the heavy door shut with a loud click, and I twisted the metal deadbolt twice to ensure the lock was fully secure against any intruders.I leaned my aching spine flat against the solid wood, while my chest heaved with ragged breaths

39 - MORNING PARANOIA

I woke up the next morning with a massive headache throbbing right behind my eyes, because I barely slept after spitting that foul poison into my bathroom sink.The bright morning sunlight poured through the gaps in my heavy curtains, and the harsh yellow rays burned my sensitive vision until I was forced to squint against the glare.I pushed the thick blankets off my sweating legs, while a fresh wave of intense heat radiated from the very center of my chest.My newly awakened senses were returning with full, unforgiving force, since my system was finally purging the last remaining traces of my mother's toxic medicine.I walked into the en-suite bathroom to wash my face, and the loud humming of the electricity running through the walls sounded like a roaring engine inside my aching ears.The small amber glass vial sat untouched on the marble counter right next to my toothbrush, yet I did not even reach for the black plastic cap this time.I made a firm, deliberate choice to skip the t

40 - ULTIMATUM

I rubbed my tired eyes under the bright lights of my top-floor office at Blackwood Global, because the severe lack of sleep made my head throb with a dull ache.The massive stack of corporate contracts on my mahogany desk required my immediate attention, although my restless inner wolf refused to focus on anything except Jaslyn's terrified face from last night.I leaned back into my heavy leather chair and pinched the bridge of my nose, since the bitter argument with my father still echoed loudly inside my ringing ears.My jaw clicked as I ground my back teeth together, and I tried to push the lingering guilt out of my mind so I could finish reviewing the quarterly financial reports.The quiet solitude of my private workspace offered a brief moment of peace, while the distant hum of the morning city traffic drifted through the large floor-to-ceiling windows.I picked up my silver pen to sign the first page of a new real estate deal, but a loud crash from the hallway interrupted my bri
