Friends With The Monsters Novels & Stories

I looked up, puzzled—then stopped breathing. Three guys walked in, trays in hand, and the room felt alive around them. They were amazing, like they stepped out of a myth. All tall, looking sharp in a smooth way. Their clothes were neat except the one in the middle. His top button was open, dark hair falling over eyes like ice. He looked easy, like he didn’t care, like none of us mattered. His friends—one blonde, the other with red hair and a knowing smile—were right by him.

His hand lifted, hovered just inches from the handle. If he turned it , if he stepped inside there’d be no undoing it. Not this time. He could finish what they started. Bury himself so deep inside that mouth, inside that want, that for a few hours, he wouldn’t have to think about betrayal and bloodlines and wedding vows. He could forget. But the thing about monsters was they followed you, even after the lights went out. And Rafael already knew, no matter how hard he tried to kill this thing between them, it wouldn’t stay buried.

His eyes darted between the two men at my back. Frowning, I rubbed the line that appeared between my eyebrows with my finger, trying to smooth away the headache that was rapidly forming. This was a disaster. How was I meant to answer that? “Monster is a friend. You’ve seen him with me before, and…” “Yeah, I know him. He's the one that follows you around like a puppy.” I shot a look at Monster, gauging his reaction to being called a lost puppy, but my eyes landed on Cyber who was smirking.

Their eyes met, and finally the silence broke between them. "What is it you want to say?" Mark asked gently, his gaze sincere, making Julie swallow hard as she remembered her current situation—single, with her partner in prison. If Liam truly was the perpetrator, then there was no hope for her future with him. The look that Mark had, which was directed at Julie, immediately made the girl forget that she promised Liam to fix everything. "Elizah keeps screaming hysterically whenever she hears or mentions the word 'monsters.' I take it that 'monsters' is plural, meaning more than one person committed this crime against her," Julie said, her voice calmer than before.

“Because the second he shows up for me, you are going to realize it’s better to be friends than a monster than pretend he doesn’t exist.” He throws his head back and laughs. “You want to see a monster? Focus on that little girl right there.” He hisses. “The night is young and I happen to have all the time in the world.”

Living their normal lives. What I feel for Cielo is friendship, I think. It's two kids growing up together like we did. He's not the one I wake in the middle of the night reaching for. He's not the one that makes my stomach twist and turn with an ache so powerful, I think I will die of it.

“He’s right. That’s the spirit of the vanguard.” Lily smirked, glancing at her thugs. “So, the little scout thinks he has backup now? Do you really think you’re worthy of Shaun? I’m Dolores’s best friend, and let me tell you—tomorrow, Shaun will be wishing he was with a real Luna, not a low-born cur like you.” I frowned. “Who the hell is Dolores?” It became clear then. Tracy had tried to introduce me to his ‘new pack,’ but these weren't friends. They were allies of Dolores Ruiz—Shaun’s ex-lover—who were only there to humiliate him before the ceremony.

"Gabriel agreed to let you go, but on one condition. You'll have a nausea chip implanted. This chip will release random electrical pulses 24 hours a day, triggering vomiting at unpredictable times. If you can endure it for five years, Gabriel will let you off." My mother's eyes went wide with fury. "That damn kid! I'm his mother. How could he do this to me?" The doctor gave a quiet laugh. "You don't know? Gabriel already severed all legal ties with you. To him now, you're just an enemy." When my mother woke up from the anesthesia, aside from a slight soreness in her throat, she didn't feel anything unusual. She let out a few dismissive laughs. "It's just a chip. What's the big deal? You're a

I can hear the fast rush of water as the blood forms into different parts, creating this monster. I can feel it in my veins, and I can feel something too wet and sticky in my panties. My toes curl as I press my legs together. "You did it." Jaden whispers, his voice breaking the tension. I reopen my eyes, and in front of us is... A monster. It's small, not exactly mighty and strong like Jaden's and it's about to wither, it falls to the side. I think my magic is not strong enough to keep it lasting for long. The monster starts melting. But I fucking did it. "I created a monster!" I shriek in excitement, laughing so hard that I spin around and throw my hands around Jaden's neck without even rea
