Darkest Minds Book Series Novels & Stories

I said, trying to focus on the work. Elias nodded, his eyes on the paper. “Show me the full breakdown.” I was in the middle of explaining when the power suddenly went off. The entire building plunged into complete darkness. I shrieked, startled, and without thinking, I jumped onto Elias’s lap, hiding my face in his chest. His body tensed. I couldn’t see his expression in the dark, but his grip on me became harder, his arms wrapping around my waist instinctively. I didn’t dare stand up. I was terrified of the dark. Always had been since when I was a little girl.

- I added hesitantly, looking at her. - What are you making up in that naive head of yours?- my mother immediately raised her voice to me.- Good vampire, what a great joke. These beings are children of darkness, ruled by the blood-hunger. Yes, he probably didn't kill anyone in our neighborhood, but that's what vampires do. They don't kill anyone in the neighborhood where they live, but in nearby, smaller towns, a little bit everywhere so that no one will find out.- she explained to me in a teaching tone.- I have met too many vampires in my life to believe that any of them are good. They are predators, monsters that take the life of living creatures. And as a sorceress, I have a duty to prote

Placing the quilt over me I start to read the book until my eyes feel heavy. I don't know when I fell asleep but I woke up and it was pitch black around me in the room. Trying to adjust my eyes to the darkness I rub my eyes with my hands for a bit and come to my senses. Hearing a sound coming from the chair in the room I turn my head that way and when my eyes fall on his yellow glowing eyes I'm fully awake at the instant. Fear instantly takes over my body. He has found me here! Hauling my body further up in the bed my heart is about to beat out of my chest. I have to get away!

“He may not recognize you. The wolf inside him is corrupted—feral, maddened by the darkness. He may kill you.” “I don’t care,” I whispered. “I’m bringing him back.” The light surged. My pulse followed it—fast, desperate, fierce. Then the world cracked open beneath me. --- Darkness hit me like a fist. Cold, biting, suffocating. The mind realm wasn’t a mist or a vision. It was a landscape of pure nightmare—Kaelen’s nightmare.

he spat through his teeth, his sadness turning to blind rage. I couldn’t breathe. My lungs just refused to work. My heart was beating way too fast as my body started to shake. He was coming back. He wanted to see us. The last time I saw that man, he had ripped my school shirt off me and had pinned me to the floor while he undone his pants. He was about to rape me when Jake and Liam came in and beat the crap out of him. Oh God, he was coming back. I replayed all of the beatings he handed out to me and Jake, all the touching that happened when I was alone with him, the whispered words and secret smiles. My vision started to get black spots as I hyperventilated. I was going to die I could feel

" As he finished the chant, Bruce threw a pinch of dark powder into the flame of the nearest candle. The flame turned black for a moment, and a low hiss echoed through the attic. Sonia felt a chill run down her spine. Even Irene shivered, covering her arms with her sleeves. Bruce stepped back, breathing heavily. "It is done," he said. "Cielo and Miguel... will begin to rot. Even though they are alive, their bodies will betray them. And Natalie... she won't be able to stop it. She'll have to watch. Slowly. Painfully." Sonia grinned. "Good. That's what she deserves. And even if she tries to read the book again, she won't find any answers. It's now useless to her."

The stupid book Elias had given me was still sitting on the small table where I'd left it earlier, and I grabbed it without thinking, dropping into one of the chairs and staring at the cover without really seeing it. The sun felt good on my face, warm and real and solid in a way that nothing else seemed to be right now. I closed my eyes and tilted my head back, letting the light wash over me, trying to focus on the sensation instead of the thoughts racing through my head. But it didn't work, the thoughts kept coming, kept circling back to Jacob Reyes and my parents and the fire and everything I still didn't understand. A voice in the back of my mind kept whispering that we were running out o

Another punches my stomach while I’m simultaneously being shoved down to the ground. “Let me go,” I scream, or at least I try to, but no sound leaves my lips. Suddenly, something shifts in the air. The large men surrounding me freeze before taking position at my sides, letting me see what is ahead. Who is ahead. A man steps forward, a large black cloak covering his body and dragging against the mud as he moves. His face is shrouded in shadows, but I see his eyes. They are sharp yet deep, a swirl of greenish-brown filled with death.

I stared at the ceiling, then at my phone. I opened the Blink app, my mind going straight to nightshade. Still no new messages. The last sent text he sent was, "Not yet." I tossed my phone at the side out of anger and picked it up again, opening Pornhub I typed in, "BDSM bondage." And of course it opened. The videos loaded, I saw many options and I clicked the one with the guy on the mattress whose hands tied behind his back, getting railed against the wall. I pulled my nighties down, hanging around my ankle. Already hard, I wrapped my hand around myself and I closed my eyes, stroking, I imagined him, not the guy in the video, but Nightshade.

I was surrounded by darkness. ** You're not a good person, there's no way you want to be a better person, the darkness of your past surrounds you, you can't escape yourself, the voice echoes louder and I was screaming. I woke up so fast and it was all a dream, all my body was covered with sweat. "It's just a dream you don't have to force yourself to sleep, it's been over seven hours since you slept,'' he mumbled as he put his hand on my forehead.
