Killer X Cross Novels & Stories

She had simply mistaken me for someone else. Fury and humiliation finally churned inside me. My hand came down hard across his face. "You son of a bitch!" Behind me, Willow screamed at the turn of events and didn't hesitate to slap me in return. "What do you think you're doing, Skyler?" She rushed to help Luther up, her face full of pity. Naomi also started hitting me, as if trying to get revenge for her beloved daddy. I looked at Luther again. That same mocking smile still lingered at the corner of his lips. For a fleeting moment, I realized Willow might not have been so different from me.

"Your scholarship, your grades, your future – I control all of it. That makes you mine." The door bursts open behind us. Axel storms in, his eyes taking in the scene, Professor West standing too close, my obvious fear, the way I'm backed against the bookshelf. "Get away from her," Axel says, his voice deadly calm. "Mr. Cross." Professor West steps back but doesn't look worried. "This is a private meeting." "Looks pretty public to me." Axel moves to stand beside me. "You okay, Kendra?" I nod, even though I'm not.

And trust was dangerous in a city like this—but it was worth it. The first signs of morning light spilled into the room, painting the walls gold and gray. Aire closed her notebook and looked at Dee. “We start tomorrow. Streets don’t sleep, and neither do we.” Dee nodded. “Then we make them remember why the streets fear fire.” Aire smiled, a mixture of thrill and determination lighting her features. For the first time since her rebirth, she felt fully alive—not just surviving, but commanding her fate. Trevon would learn that the girl he tried to kill was gone. In her place stood someone stronger, smarter, and untouchable.

Aelfric is the only person with indistinguishable eyes that appear to change with his every movement. “It’s him,” I whispered. “Lady? Lady Gabriella!” Doctor Kusher calls out to me, which made me feel a little bad because it’s supposed to be our first training today and yet I am already defying his orders. Without even thinking, I ran in the direction where I last saw the girls come from, hoping that I would see my hybrid stalker once more.

She looked so peaceful, her chest rising and falling in a steady beat, assuring me. I sat in a chair and watched her. I could hear Callie leaving to take a shower, I could hear Dr. Williams exiting the apartment, I could hear Darren giving an update while I mindlessly nodded. “Alessio?” A voice sounded near my arm, and I looked down in surprise, noting the phone was still connected. I was still talking to him. “What?” I asked, my voice a little too curt. “We’re going to be fine,” he answered. “I’m going to kill them,” I answered darkly. “Every last one of the Irish boys.”

The winters were too cold to properly house any wolf in that region. “What kind of business?”, his voice deepened and the Alpha on the phone stuttered before finally answering. “The old crimson pack Alpha has been spotted in the area. He was found at the Grayson residence. We think he is searching for someone.”, his voice only waivered on the Grayson name and Damien understood why. They had been a secretive family and he had been surprised when he was informed of their murder. “Thank you – I will send someone to look”, Damien ended the call, not waiting for a reply.

"Don't even think about it." "Wait for me." He brought the certificate to his lips and yanked out a dagger. He plunged it into his chest. His crazy move freaked me out. Blood sprayed everywhere, splattering onto the certificate and staining my photo red. He tried to wipe the blood off but ended up toppling into the shaft. With a flop, he hit the sewage below. I shook my head. Karma was a real piece of work. Three days later, a scavenger spotted the blood pooled by the elevator and called the police.

Karma's POV I arrived home sometime around midnight. The house was completely dark. I stood outside for a moment after paying the cab driver, staring at the windows of the house. I had deliberately taken a cab instead of calling Noah. And I refused the ride offer that Helena offered me, the last thing I needed was for Noah to see Roland dropping me off again and start asking questions I couldn't answer. Tonight had already been complicated enough. Daniel Cross was dead. The surgery had gone exactly as Helena had predicted.

It was Xavier, the son of Omari, the eldest member of our pack. Xavier left his car and walked toward me as I left mine. “Molly Lancaster,” he grinned. “Where are you going? And who are you dating now? If I may ask. Is it Blake or Kelvin Peters?” “Kelvin is dead,” I retorted. “Not that it should be any of your business.” His eyes widened, and he tried to look away. “Dead? What happened to him? Was he killed?” “Again, not that it should be any of your business,” I snapped. “But he was killed in Westview on the blood moon… It's-- a long story.”

Xander appeared back beside her. “It’s done, your highness,” he bowed, presenting a stake to her. She took it from him and smirked. “What is that?” I coughed She turned to me. “It’s a hybrid’s bane. This is what will kill Knox.” “What?” I gasped. “Thanks to you, I was able to get everything.” “What!” I cried. My heart thumped. What was happening? “Knox can only be killed with this stake and the blood of someone he loves.”
