Jinx Chapter 14 Novels & Stories

Please do not let it be him. But deep down, in the trembling, traitorous center of me, I already knew the truth. ShadowKing was Jax. And tomorrow, when the guilt had settled into my bones and the daylight tried to shame me back into purity, I would likely open the app again. Because some hungers do not care how many times they have already cost you everything. They only demand to be fed. I curled tighter into myself, the golden scar glowing steadily against my palm, my body still slick and aching with the memory of his words. Sleep felt impossible because the echo of his promises and the terrifying knowledge of who waited on the other side of the screen filled my head...

I was slightly taken aback by his outburst. “Oh my God, Justice! You stare at me way too much, it’s uncomfortable. Your gaze is too keen, too interested. You’re way too concerned about my well being and that irks me. I am grateful for the help that you gave me earlier when I needed a place to shower and I am grateful for the fact that I don’t have to share a room with a total stranger and a bathroom with three others, but I just need a little bit of space from your constantly ogling me like you’re trying to figure something out!” Phoenix was breathing hard now, and still looking at anywhere but me. He was sick of me, I knew that much, but from how he refused to look at me, I could tell that

I’d just survived the ‘Public Display of Lip-lock Disaster’, and now I was about to play ‘Guess What the Man Who Could Kill Me in Six Seconds Doesn’t Know About Me’. Knox didn’t even pretend to refuse. He lounged back, one arm draped over the backrest, his gaze fixed on me. “Go ahead, Little Cherry. Make me curious.” He murmured, enough to make it sound like a fuckin’ dare. I shot him a narrow-eyed smile. “Alright. Something you don’t know about me…” I said putting on my best thoughtful face. “Hmm… here is one, when I was twelve, I got chased by a goose for stealing its bread.”

Scarlet red shaded her cheeks as the man pulled away. Emma blinked hesitantly and swallowed, her features tensed as she felt the strong taste of alcohol in her mouth. "She knows who she belongs to," Kevin retorted looking at her moist lips and right into those deep hazel eyes that were avoiding looking at him again. Jimin saw what he was doing and smiled. Possessive freak! “Well, of course," Jimin chuckled as he looked at Kevin from head to toe. The man in front of him was incredibly intimidating, Jimin wouldn't deny.

It had been a long day, and a long feast with Aiden’s coven and the king’s men, and they were all settling in for the night. Caitlin could not stop thinking about the torn page, the clue, where it might lead her, and if it would yield the fourth key. Would her father be there this time? Could it be that he was waiting, close by? Her heart beat faster at the thought of it. Did that mean she would finally find the shield? That all of this would be over? And what would she do then? Where would she go next?

The only thing on Summers Hartley’s mind was revenge. Being a half-breed, she was born extremely weak and completely incapable of protecting herself or anyone, and that cost her. Her family was slaughtered, and her pack was reduced to ashes. As the Alpha heir to Silverguard pack, she swore to destroy the monsters responsible: the Bloodmoon pack. When the perfect chance for revenge arrives, she hides behind a new identity as the dying Alpha’s personal healer and enters the Bloodmoon pack. Every day she heals the pack, she has promised to destroy. Sworn to pay back the same hand, her mission is simple: poison the Alpha who murdered her people and, together with her uncle, destroy eve

He wouldn't pay a single cent and stood there with his hands on his hips, looking completely self-righteous. "That jinx fainted at the company, so this counts as a work injury. Our family has no money." The company manager saw me writhing in pain on the hospital bed. Afraid I would die, he softened and helped cover the hospital fees. Dad left, leaving me barely alive. No one from the family came to see me. All I wanted was a little bit of love. How naive I was. After nearly dying, I realized I should have cut ties with them years ago. But if I left home just as pathetically as I'd lived there, I would be unworthy of the "jinx" nickname I'd been called for years.

"I'm tired and didn't get enough sleep on the plane because I was making sure our trip had everything ready and had to move you away from Jo before she kills you." Ares was about to open his mouth when Rex threw his duffle bag at him. "Listen to your sister and take the couch. Thea is tired because you and Jordyn wouldn't stop arguing and causing a scene. Just shut up and take the couch." he says in his low voice, making my body quiver. It was sexy and deep yet slightly threatening, almost as if he was tired. Ares may be a retired fighter, but compared body shape, and Rex can take him down. But it's not about the size, and it's about being smart. And I don't want any fights during this trip.

His tone went back to its usual beseeching as he kept walking to and fro behind me. "Why would I punish you, cousin? You are like a brother to me. Don’t you remember how we used to play games together?" The old, bitter memories flashed before my eyes. "Xavier, please?" Jace begged again. The fact that he was flying so high only to come to my feet and beg again was just hilarious. "Anyway, the boy who was helping Phoenix in that escape game, is he still in the hospital? As soon as he regains his consciousness, drag him here." I ordered.

I flip the rest of the book looking for anything that sticks out. The curse ment for my mother was onew of the last things written in the book. After that is page after page of scribbled drawings of a demonic figure. I am not sure what these drawings might mean, but they are very dark, and they give me the creeps. on the very last page is one sentence "The visions are getting worse, I fear that he plans to usae me to exact his own revenge."
