What happens when those scary stories start to become real? As an added note, The Reluctant Alpha, including these bonus chapters, is now available in paperback.

"Ok, I do understand. He isn't a man many can tolerate, let alone love. Just know he does care for you. He just shows it in a very odd way. Make sure you eat and I'll stop by to see you on my next visit." "Thank you!" I gave him a small smile and waved bye as he walked out. I looked around annoyed. I can't believe he took me to his bed. I'm sure at some level he does care for me, but it was f*cked up. I can't survive with a man that can't show me love. I can't survive this life. I stretched some then headed to my room. Aria was in there packing our things and I felt like I could finally breathe. I hated Chicago, even though I never stepped foot out of this house, I still hated the whole city

"Nothing has changed." "Alonso," her voice grew gentler, more mother than critic, "no matter how much you control the world around you, people are not business assets. One day, you’ll realize that." Her words lingered like an ache I couldn’t quite shake. "You should visit," she said after a long pause, easing the tension in her tone. "Los tres." (All three of you.) I glanced at the clock on my desk. "Maybe." She didn’t push, though I could hear the longing in her voice. "Promise me something."

I have never seen you before’ She demanded on the verge of running her heart was pounding so hard she could barely think, as she pushed the girls away from the strangers one of the younger girls stumbled. Caught off guard Melody reacted quickly and grabbed her as she started to fall and at the same time the women moved just as quickly reaching for the young girl too and their hands touched briefly. When the woman’s fingers touched her skin Melody felt a wonderful sense of warmth and peace jolt through her and she snatched her hand away. Instinct told her the couple could actually be trusted and the voice in her head told her go with those instincts they would never let her down. She sneered

Noah suspected it was the giant paycheck that his agent would receive from the movie whether it did well or not. "We're going to land in a few minutes, but out your window, you'll get a great view of Philadelphia," the pilot said. He'd recently opened the door to talk to Noah and hadn't closed it. No need for the intercom when they were only a few feet apart. The plane had been his agent's idea to stop Noah from getting mobbed at the airport. Noah had to admit he liked traveling like this. "Thanks."

Just relax, breathe in the warm late summer air, marvel at the hills and keep your eyes on the road. A relaxed meditative mindset propels Gracie forward through the hilly winding back road highway. Gunner leans his head out the window. His ears rest erect, tongue hanging sideways, whiskey eyes squinting into the wind embodying the particular bliss of a creature who has decided that this — exactly this — is the whole point of being alive. She reaches over to rub his chest without looking. He loves it, then stretches his paw out for Gracie to hold. She embraces his soft tricolored paw for a moment, before returning her lightly tanned hand to the wheel.

“I'm sorry we ran into him there. That restaurant would be getting a bad review from me for letting a parasite ruin our dinner,” “you don't need to give the restaurant a bad review. No one expected Ethan to be there” I contradicted “Sure” Karl replied calmly, his eyes focused on the road. “Too bad the food is wasted” I sighed, and Karl chuckled but didn't reply. The car fell into a comfortable silence and I brought out my phone from my bag. Beatrice’s text popped in. She was only informing me that Lily would be spending the night at our place. My mind wondered about the text I got this morning, and I sighed.

“Damn it! Do you think this is funny? Dom has always loved you! Ever since you rejected him back then, you shattered him so completely that he turned into some reckless, aimless playboy. “And then, the moment you beckoned him back, he came running to you again! But when you said he lacked loyalty, he went and found this rebound girlfriend just to please you. What more do you want? His sincerity doesn’t deserve to be trampled on like this!” “So what? I’ve never seen someone so infatuated like him before. I just wanted to see how far he’d go for me. He’s doing it willingly—why are you so worked up about it?”

Jonathan said. "Come on let's go." Jim said but Jonathan protested. "N-no I will not go there please. I-if you don't want to take m-me with you. You can leave. I-I'll manage." Jonathan sounded quite mature but Jim knew deep down this kid is scared. He doesn’t know what happened in his life but one thing is for sure that whatever happened it had shaken the boy from inside and the trust issues shows that someone closer to him did him wrong. "I live here Jonathan. Come on and believe me people here are good." Jonathan still was not convinced.

He wiped a streak of golden blood from his mouth with the back of his hand, cracked his neck, and then—he grinned. "Good hit," he murmured. The Devourer froze, its shifting mass tensing in pure confusion. The Traveler laughed—a sharp, reckless, completely unbothered laugh. It was a very Luca-like laugh. And in that singular second, everyone watching through the network finally understood the truth. Luca wasn't similar to the Traveler. The Traveler was similar to Luca. That same stubborn, infuriating courage; that same absolute refusal to stay down when the math said it was over; the exact same impossible hope.
