“You’re the one who froze her cards! You’re also the one who faked your mate certificate with her! You’re a piece of trash who wants both! Stop pretending to be so loyal and good!” As if those words had struck a nerve, Scott flung Katie’s hands away. “Ahh!!!” She crashed into the tea table, and blood flowed from between her thighs. “Scott… please… save our pup…” Scott shot her a cold look and left. Katie had no choice but to call her father. His words only drove her further into despair. “Katie, I just sent your mother into a mental asylum.” Gerald sounded abnormally cheerful. “Apologize to Claire.

They were more mobile than she’d anticipated and made their way toward the table’s edge, each in a different direction while their crying grew more pronounced. Tara quickly dumped the basket upside down to remove the old rags. The jerking action loosened more dirt and dust and it settled on her table. She decided this was a poor choice of location to do this, but it was too late to stop now. She barely caught each escapee before it reached the edge of the table. The scent of their mother left the basket along with the old rags and they cried out for her with loud wails.

“We've got good news and bad news. Which do you want first?” "Bad news first," I say. "Always bad news first." Landon's grin fades. "Alpha Garrick escaped custody about three hours ago." I try to sit up, pain shooting through my chest like lightning. "What?!"

Even though I managed to shift the attention onto him, escaping his grip was not going to be easy. His hand tightened around my throat. My face turned red from lack of air. I tried to call for help, only to find a ring of cold, indifferent eyes staring back at me. “Ding-dong! It’s breakfast time. All patients, please proceed to the cafeteria immediately.” Thank goodness, I was saved! “Miss, don’t go to the cafeteria. Come with me.” On the way there, an old lady suddenly appeared and told me to follow her. “Where?”

"Are you in?" The silence stretched for a long moment. Then Marcus turned his hand over and laced his fingers through hers. "I'm in." Bianca's smile widened. "Excellent. I'll be in touch." She finished her martini, left a bill on the table, and walked out of the bar with a sway in her hips and a plan forming in her mind. Sophia Reed thought she could come back to Nightvale and start fresh. She thought she could escape her past. She was wrong.

“Miss, that rabbit is adorable. Lots of people have tried to take him home, but he bites everyone. “But he keeps trying to get your attention. “Maybe it’s fate. I can give you a discount.” “I’m sorry,” I said. “I don’t like rabbits.” Then I pointed to the cat beside him. “Is that kitten up for adoption?” In the end, I left the shop with the kitten in my arms. The moment I stepped outside, I thought I heard a familiar voice behind me. “Ayla…” This time, I did not stop. And I did not look back. The End.

She knew she couldn’t stay here a second longer, especially with the loan sharks already tracking her down. By the time Lani and Maya finally left the apartment, dusk had fallen. A narrow alley behind the building led them to another street, where they flagged down a taxi to head back to Maya’s apartment. Sitting in the car, Lani couldn’t bring herself to look back. She feared catching the gaze of someone following her or hearing the ominous footsteps of those who had shattered her life. Lani’s voice quivered as she spoke, “Maya, thank you for helping me. I honestly don’t know what I would do without you.”

“He won’t like it if he found out you’re trying to escape. So, please, stay put and wait for him to come back.” “I’m tired of hearing those excuses! I don’t even know why I just woke up locked in a room, and everybody’s telling me not to leave, and that Alpha told me I’m his property and this is his territory and---” “Because that’s the truth, Miss.” She wanted to grab a handful of her hair! She was losing her mind. “Please, just let me go. You can’t get anything from me. I’m just a homeless lady, seeking freedom. I don’t want to be a slave of your pack. I don’t have any skills anyway. I’m useless.”

I picked up my phone and hovered over a contact I hadn’t used in years. Donovan Hayes. He used to clean messes. He had a military background. Ex-group. But he disappeared after Geneva. I didn’t know if he was still alive. But if he was.. I didn’t want Caitlin dead. But I did want Dylan afraid. And I needed someone who didn’t care about collateral damage.
