The Night I Let Him In Novel Novels & Stories

His thumb brushed over her knuckles slowly, as if he could will her back to him. “This… this is on me,” he muttered under his breath, his voice rough, cracked. “I dragged you into this mess, baby… and now look at you.” He closed his eyes, exhaling a sharp breath as flashes of that night slammed into him. --- Flashback — The Warehouse

He was very tired, letting his sister-in-law sleep in the warehouse for the night. "Brother-in-law, please open it! Mona is scared, Mona promises not to negotiate anymore let alone argue," Mona squealed, the girl was very afraid of the dark. Mona sagged to the floor, hugging her knees shakily. Her eyes glanced at every corner, this warehouse was very dusty. She was terrified of cockroaches, the fear of meeting them was overwhelming. "Mona is scared ...," Mona whispered shakily, her body slightly shaken from crying.

Dada asked furiously. "Excuse you? What right do you think you have to question me that way?" she refuted him and he grabbed her closer to him. Pissed, she pushed him away from her. "I had a one-night stand the night before. It was magical and up till now, I still can't let go of the moment I shared with this stranger. I have no idea who he is. Now I feel very lonely. I'm telling you because you are my friend. The only make friendship I have and value but please respect me next time." she said to him and tried to make her way out of his house but then he shut the door as he looked at her like someone who was brokenhearted.

She questioned rudely. "Of course not, will you just let me explain to you". he sighed tiredly. " I did not intentionally sneak into your room to be sleeping beside you, I did it because it helps a lot". he said and Maya stared confusedly at him. "How do you mean?". " I have insomnia, I don't sleep at night but only on pills which sometimes make me sleep for a few hours, but it changed that day you fell unconscious, and I had to take you to my room, I slept peacefully that night, but the next night, I couldn't, so, I have to sneak into your room to see if truly I can sleep comfortably by your side, which works". He said firmly.

~Elowen~ I woke up to the throbbing of my head, the aching of my body, and light sipping in through the open window and shining directly on my face. My whole body ached, part from too much tossing and turning on my bed and part from thinking of my new fate all through the night. Good thing he had not returned last night, giving me the chance to spend the night alone in the room, thinking, wondering where he had gone, what he was up to, wary of him walking right back through the door and running his fingers on me again.

The man later followed her inside the car. “What’s your name?” he asked her when the driver started igniting the engine. “Ly— Rona. My name is Rona.” There was no reason for her to say her real name since she would only be with this man for one night. He stared at her for a few moments. She was even nervous because he might know that she was lying. But shortly after that, he finally nodded. “I’m Gideon.” He looked straight into her eyes, “and tonight, you are mine.”

I wake tangled in Alex’s arms, his breath was so warm on my neck, body heavy with sleep. The safe house is quiet except for the distant hum of city traffic. Moonlight filters through the blinds, striping the bed in silver. For a second, I forget i was a langford ,i forget about the photos, the betrayal, the endless chase. Then it crashes back: Mom’s words in black text, I love you more than I ever loved him.

He took measured strides towards the door. Donte did his best to get in front of both Elias and Caspius. Gods forbid Lily released another burst of psychic energy, he’d be able to take the brunt of the wave. He would heal faster, and be able to put her down if need be. It was always best for him to enter a room before his companions. He twisted the door knob. Slowly, he pushed the door open. Cold air rushed him, running across his face. The bright lights of the room were intense.

I didn't want to let him in; I was too guilty and too ashamed to do it. What could he want now? I knew exactly what he wanted, but I hesitated. For a brief moment, I debated pretending I wasn’t there. But I knew him too well; he’d stay until I opened it. Taking a deep breath, I unlocked the door. "Alpha Cormac," I mumbled, lowering my head slightly. "I want to come in," he mumbled. I swallowed and stepped aside to let him in. He entered the room, his tall frame filling the space, his golden eyes sharper than usual.

None of it interested me. I wasn’t here for the club. I was here for her. And this night pulled me back to the first time I saw her, the night everything tilted, like the ground had slipped out from under me. I’m not the type for pretty words, never have been, but I can admit this little nymph stirred something in me I didn’t think could change. And then the room had shifted when she walked in. Nova.
