Novel & Cerita Home Before Dark Riley Sager

The sound of our skin meeting echoed through the room. Just as my hand connected with Sage's face, I heard Ryder's cold and sharp voice behind me. "What the hell are you doing?" My eyes widened in shock and realisation dawned on me. She set me up perfectly. My heart raced as I turned towards the doorway and saw Ryder standing there, his gaze filled with fury. He quickly strode forward, pulling Sage into his arms protectively. She buried her face in his chest, her sobs intensifying. "I was-"

The folder on the counter beside the empty croissant bag. “You should go see Richard,” Sage says. I look at her. “He’s six blocks from here in a hotel room on a morphine drip and you haven’t been.” She says it flat, looking at her closed laptop instead of me. “He’s dying. Not eventually. Now. And one morning you’re going to wake up and the room will be empty and you’ll have a hundred things you didn’t say sitting in your chest with nowhere to put them.” “He disowned me.”

Lisa’s POV The afternoon light hit my eyes as we stepped out of the house. I still felt heavy after being inside and seeing my life before everything went to shit. Riley closed the door behind us, and we both stood there for a bit. Then she looked at me, and I nodded as a silent declaration that we should both head home. We were walking toward Riley’s blue sedan when a black car slowed beside us. The window rolled down, and the driver leaned out a little. He looked at us, his mouth slightly open like he was about to say something.

I said. “I do not know, but I will go and see who it is, baby,” Sage says. I heard his feet moving towards the front door of the room we are staying in. I am anxious about who it could be. Then I heard she missed us. “What, who could that be?” I said to the people in the room with me. Baby Ryker just smiled and said, let's go in the room.” Awww, he is adorable and genius. I heard running feet heading our way, and then I see who it is, well them it was

She let out a deep sigh before standing in front of me. Riley is the son of the Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack, and he would be the next Alpha of this pack. If Alia, my sister, was right, Riley was harboring a crush on Andrea. It was the only logical reason why he would always look for her and come after her. “Is it okay if I sit there?” She asked politely, snapping me out of my thoughts. My eyes shifted to the space beside me, where her little finger was pointing, and I immediately inched to the other side to give her space. “Of course, why not? I don’t own this place.”

“He’ll come after your baby. And in case you haven’t noticed… babies don’t make it out in this place.” I stared at her. Shock flooded me. Not only at what she was saying, but at how easily she said it. How matter-of-fact she sounded. As though this were common knowledge. As though she’d grown up surrounded by disappearances and strange happenings and learned never to question them. She was sixteen. Sixteen, and she knew exactly how dangerous this house was. And how dangerous her father was. “Don’t look so shocked,” Riley murmured, reading my expression with unsettling accuracy. “He’s my father. I live here. I see everything.”

The bathroom door slammed open. ‘’What the hell!’ I yelled, but all I got was Kieran storming out the door and Cassian coming out with Riley in his hands. He carefully placed Riley in the bed and pulled the covers off his body, ‘’What was that? I asked ‘’ Bloody Lycan can’t control himself, I advised him to get the fuck out if he can’t stop staring at Riley like he wants to eat him whole every five seconds.’’ ‘’Guess he took your advice then?’’ I added

Richard is the only person in the clinic, and he meets us in the entryway, I’m guessing Darius told him we would be coming. “Daya, Emmy,” he says while averting his gaze as we shift back to our human forms and get dressed. “How’s Sage?” I ask. “Sage is just fine. You know, if you count not having a wolf anymore, and sporting the ugliest of marks on her neck, as fine,” Sage calls out as she walks down the hall. She’s dressed in a pair of leggings and a long sleeve grey top. “Your wolf will return, Sage. I told you. I will keep working to figure out what was in that poison, and I’ll reverse the effects,” Richard says to her. He sounds like he’s told her this dozens of times and she refuses to

He closed his car and stopped to stare at me. " Aiden right?" I asked and he chuckled. " Yeah. Miles right? Riley's boyfriend." He said and I chuckled. " I get it." I said. " What do you want?" He asked. " Nothing ." " Is Riley aware you're a vampire?" He asked and I crossed my arms. " Is she aware you're a vampire?" I asked. " I asked first." Aiden said and I chuckled. " I'm not lame." I said and he scoffed.

“You have been here all day and almost all night, Theo needs you, and you need some rest baby.” “I can stay,” Sage insists. “Andre can go.” Rosa shakes her head. “No. I want him to take you.” Something passes between the two of them, silent and loaded. Sage exhales, defeated. “Fine. But I will be back first thing tomorrow.” “I will be right here,” Rosa says, reaching for her hand. “Go.” Sage leans down and kisses her forehead, then straightens. She doesn’t look at me as she heads for the door.
