After a brief moment, he added, “I need to tell you something. Jack Adams was found dead a few weeks ago. He was shot in the head.” “No!” I gasped. “I’m frightened.” “Listen to me carefully,” he said in a firm and steady tone. “Joshua won’t hurt you as long as he doesn’t know the true state of your feelings. I want you to be as crafty as you can to find out your exact location.” After a brief moment, he added with a tone of reluctance, “Do what you must to get him to think that you’re madly in love with him.”

“They’re humans abducted from the outside world. We hunt humans from the outside world to become slaves here, to do the work necessary. Those who prove to be useless are fed on. The choicest and most beautiful among the captives are kept by the Elite as part of what we began calling a harem a long time ago. Some of the favored Lodgers also have one or two beauties of their own. The humans who form the harems are kept alive for a year and whoever owns them get to decide their ultimate fate after that.” “It’s really just an excuse to be able to have them at their prime,” Lucas added with a smirk. From the look on Derek’s face, he didn’t seem very happy about the explanation he’d been given. He

"One good looking woman stops by your office and you act like you haven't been around them in years." He hadn't. Bethany had done a number on him, and after her he'd sworn them off, hoping to one day get back in the game. He ran his hand down his chest, patting the firm muscle of his pec as he closed his eyes, trying to hold onto the reason for giving up on love. This girl didn't even seem interested and yet he knew quite well that seeing her twice in two days was more than coincidence. He exhaled slowly, opening his eyes and grimacing at himself in the mirror. "Get your shit together. She's probably not even available, and even if she was... you’re jaded as hell and she's way outta your lea

And what I hear, breaks my heart. The girl who is working the counter, her name is Carmen, which I now know is the ex girlfriend of Jace. Is tell her friend, Skyler, that her and Jace have worked everything out and that he finally dropped the “uptight American girl”. I feel a single tear slide down my cheek as I turn and walk out of the café, I’ve never felt more humiliated about anything in my life. As soon as I’m far enough away from the café I let the tears really fall, because he never actually loved me and he must have just wanted to cross “American girl” off a list of things he wanted to accomplish.

Ved said cupping her cheeks. “Do you love me?” Ved asked but Marya pulled away from his embrace leaning to the other side of the tub facing him. She knew she loves him but she is scared to lose him. She knows this won't last long and these feelings will only bring more pain to him. “This love can never be accepted Ved, you know what this type of love is called?” Mayra said and took a pause. “This is Stained love,” She said looking straight into Ved’s eyes. Ved didn’t know what to say to that statement but he got angry at her words. How can she disrespect his love for her and more importantly herself?

Jade leaned closer and whispered, “Would you like me to teach you the hard way, again, that you cannot make me do anything?” “Fine,” she grunted, raising her hands up to indicate defeat. “I have a question,” she asked, staring at Jade who was staring blankly back. “What's your deal with Shawn?” Jade arched her brow. “My deal? With Shawn?” “Yeah. Do you love him? Like love him?” she asked, stressing the love in the second question. “Ewww no!” “Good! Because I do. I love Shawn Beckett,” she confessed, her voice unwavering. Confidence was her strong fort.

Vasha muttered, looking up at Jared who was still standing and looking down at her. "I know." Suddenly Jared squatted in front of her, making his eyes level with Vasha's, "I know exactly that I am the one you love." Vasha's cheeks flushed red and her heart fluttered at Jared's words. What did Jared mean? Jared took something out of his pocket, a small black velvet box, he opened it. Contains a diamond ring so beautiful and sparkling,

His voice cracked then, the Alpha mask slipping. “I lied. I failed. I ran. And I let the wrong woman hold my crown while the right one bled in silence.” Serafina sneered. “Then go. Go beg. Go crawl. But don’t you dare come back when she slams the door in your face.” Jared turned, his cape catching the wind as he reached the doorway. He paused, just for a second. Not for her. But for the part of himself that once thought this was love.

“And I’m glad. I needed… this. I needed you.” They stopped at a quiet spot along the river, the water reflecting the city lights like molten gold. Jaden turned to face her, his eyes dark and intense. “Nora… I want you to know something. I don’t just want to be with you because it’s convenient, or because I feel guilty. I want to be with you because I love you. All of you. Even the parts you think are broken. Even the parts that hurt. I want them too.”

“Don’t give up hope yet, man.” “I’m glad you stayed,” was all Adam said in reply. The two looked out on the harvest, saying nothing, but already knowing what the other was thinking. Adam had done a lot of stupid things, but at least becoming friends with Jaime Martínez hadn’t been one of them. Like falling in love with Joy, right? his mind asked. Yes, falling in love with a woman who’d use him for money. That had been stupid. And yet…at times he couldn’t be sorry for loving her, either. She’d brought him out of a dark place, with her laughter and smile. And he chose to believe that she’d loved him, in her own way.
