said Vargauz and stepped inside to stand beside her. He drew his dagger and said, “Come.” Amelia followed him. There was so much tension and worry and lust that she wanted to get over with it. Vargauz gestured to the base of the waterfall and said, “I will offer my blood and you can join.” She nodded, completely entranced. Her eyes became wide and her face muscles became tight. Vargauz made a cut in his hand and the blood oozed. He let it drip to the base. He handed the dagger to Amelia and she emulated the action. Being a doctor she knew where to cut for maximum blood. She cut a vein in her wrist and the red sanguine liquid dripped. Pain seared through her body as the veil started to lift.

“Ah, Sleeping Beauty wake. Hello, Bridge.” Tamara sat up, slowly. The room tilted a little. Using shadow power drained her more than she’d thought. “How do you know what I am?” she asked. Smith smirked. Not a friendly smirk. “I know lots of things. Been tracking moon events for years, strange births, weird prophecies. Girls who glow gold and silver.” He stepped closer, “You smell interesting. Like moon and sun had a baby, then that baby rolled in starlight. “Back off." Kai moved between them.

The warm coffee from the cup streamed down Tamara's forehead, mixing with blood, trailing down her neck and collar, dripping onto the carpet. Barbara sighed heavily. "Tamara, please, just go kneel outside. Don't make Rosemary angrier." Her intent was good—to get Tamara out of that pressurized room before she was hit again. Tamara said nothing, stood up steadily, and slowly walked out. Her head felt foggy where she'd been hit, but she knelt before the Pack Crest pillar in the front yard anyway. The night wind was cold, and the stone steps in front of the main house were even colder, but she didn't care about that.

he said. "You've gone mad Matthew, Clara is no vampire hunter," I told him. "Oh she definitely is, she might not be aware of it right now, but she is. You remember a certain Austin Shawn, a real trouble maker while he was alive, the vampire hunter that tragically died at my hands. He had no family to continue his lineage or so we thought. However it turns out that our Nicholas was able to locate his only living child and as luck would have it, she just happened to be his missing rib, the one who fulfills the prophecy with our dear Nicholas," he said.

The girl picked up the dagger but the ghost figure flung itself forcefully against her, knocking off the knife, retrieving it, and descending on her with a series of vicious slashes that had her screaming. Tamara watched the bloody attack with her palms over her eyes to minimize the horrifying sight as the girl fell to her death and blood pooled around her. It was a terrifying sight and Tamara was relieved to hear the sound of a car pulling up in the driveway. She exhaled deeply, rose to her feet, and walked towards the entrance door, which she opened and stepped out onto the porch.

My throat burned again, unable to form the words. Damon reached for me, his eyes softened yet still shadowed with age-old pain. “It’s alright,” he said softly. I nodded meekly, finally understanding why this part of the forest seemed so differently than the other. No grass grew here as if it was visited often. He continued, his voice low. "By the time I arrived, it was already too late. I met Amaria standing over Tiara, with a knife in her hand, blood dripping down the blade." His jaw tightened. "I wailed and pleaded with the Moon Goddess to bring her back, and yet there lay Tiara, lifeless."

Piercy’s growls made my body shutter. “Brett!” Tatum laid me down and pushed on my side. “No, no, no, no…” I watched as she frantically searched for something to pack the wound. “Move.” Maddox pushed Tatum out of the way. I wasn’t sure what was going on. Looking up, Tatum had Piercy by the shirt. “Hold on to her. Hold onto the bond!” My eyes went down to Maddox. His hands were covered in my blood. “I had hoped for more time to get you to like me.” Maddox’s eyes snapped to mine. “I-” My eyes rolled back in my head.

And just when they thought the night was done… Amarok growled. “We’re not finished.” Tara gasped as he reached under the blanket, pulling her gently to the other side of the bed, switching places with Taylor. Geri grinned, now taking Tara into his arms as Amarok turned to Taylor. The girls barely had time to catch their breath before they were touched again. Geri laid Tara down slowly, kissing her chest as he whispered, “Let me taste you, goddess.” His tongue trailed down her body, slowly, until he reached her folds. He sucked gently, then hard, lapping at her like a man starved. Tara moaned, her fingers in his hair as her hips lifted to meet his mouth.

And if I had, it still couldn’t have compared to how amazing it feels having you inside me,’ she says, her hand coming up to slide in my hair, gripping it as Pierce milks his venom into her, forcing her orgasm to continue. ‘The best feeling in the world is your body contracting around mine because I made you come. I can’t get enough of it. It’s fucking paradise being with you, Samara,’ I growl. I’m not sure how long I force my mate to come. Long enough that tears begin streaming down her cheeks and the sunlight begins shining through our windows. When Pierce is sufficiently satisfied that he’s laid claim to his mate again, I slide my canines out of her shoulder, licking the wound closed. Her

Popular among his classmates and admired by many, Damon's presence was a fixture in the halls of Crestwood High. Yet, beneath the veneer of popularity and privilege, Damon harbored a thirst for novelty and excitement. The arrival of a newcomer to Crestwood—a rarity in a town where outsiders were viewed with suspicion and curiosity—was a welcome disruption to the monotony of his daily routine. When rumors began to circulate about the mysterious girl with silver hair and ember-like eyes, Damon's interest was piqued. The first time he laid eyes on Aqua, it was as if time stood still. As fate would have it, Damon found himself crossing paths with Aqua once again. It seemed like no matter where h
