His expression was unreadable — grief, relief, guilt — all tangled together. “It’s over,” she repeated, holding him close. “It’s finally over.” --- Morning came quietly. The rain had stopped, leaving the world fragile and new. Police lights flashed faintly outside as officers moved through the house, collecting evidence. Adrian sat on the porch steps, wrapped in a blanket, staring at the rising sun. Rosemary joined him, sitting beside him without a word. Neither spoke for a long time. Finally, Adrian broke the silence. “Do you think people like her… ever find peace?”

I'm sorry Dira, forgive us,'' said Gavriel, sincerely apologizing to his mate, Anindira. ''Why is that?! We are all just trapped by circumstances. You have all tried, you have also nearly died many times... I really, really, really. I don't want bad things to happen again, and again... But Gavriel, even if they happen again. As long as I'm with you all, I won't regret it... I'm happy with you all, I always want to be with you... Trust me, no matter how difficult our life is in the Human Beast World. But, I'm very, very happy when I'm with all of you,'' Anindira said with a sweet smile spreading across her face, her sincere eyes said everything from the bottom of her heart.

He gently pulls me forward, wrapping my arms around him, flattening my palms against his trim abdomen. Exhaling, I rest my cheek against his back and close my eyes as he circles his thumb on the back of my hand, soothing rings of comfort. I never thought I'd find comfort in a Fortunate. I never thought my mortal enemy would be the one to show me the difference between romance and violence, how consent is the fine line between the two, and how it changes the experience. The Unfortunate touched me in all the places Kade did, but I didn't enjoy it. There were no sparks. Not even a tingle.

I didn't know what I found more offensive: the fact Dimitri smoked next to a shelf of first editions, or that I would have to share this space with him for however long he kept me here. The first book I pulled off the shelf was Paradise Lost by John Milton. How ironic. The novel was a set of poems depicting Satan as arrogant and instrumental to his own downfall, and, eventually, he lost the fight against God. I dropped the book on Dimitri's desk on the way out. The one glaring thing the house lacked was electronics. I didn't find a single telephone, radio, or computer. Either the frequencies disrupted Dimitri's communications with the underworld, or he got rid of any way I could reach out fo

jumpy? Nathanael leans on the window ledge of Jack's Coffee Bean. Beside him, sits the green chair where Sera is typing away at something on that portable computer. The longer he remains here, the more he begins to comprehend their many purposes, not that he would ever know how to work one. The world now revolves around these devices. Not one human seems to walk around without some kind of technology with them. The Angels of Heaven are going to be so entertained with all his stories when he returns. Some have never been to the surface. Those Angels are the most curious, hovering around the outskirts by the clouds, hoping for morsels of the secular drama. The unknown can tempt even Angels. Se

She was limping he detected, but what he didn't know was, while running from forty-ninth floor to fifty in her heels because of the elevators being occupied she had hurt herself. Was she sore, he mused. Even the slight notion of Vidyut and Aditi making love was niggling his peace. Vidyut was her husband yet it wasn't bearable by Aahir that he was fucking his wife. Aditi kept her stuff in the cabin and pulled her messed-up hair into a bun. She was yet to take a seat when the voice travelled to her ears via the intercom, "I want you in my cabin, now." Mumbling something to herself she made her way back to him. She was about to commit the erstwhile mistake but stopped in time and knocked. That

Chapter 31 Abducted As the night descended, the island was enveloped in darkness, with stars and moon casting a shimmering glow. In contrast to the sweet atmosphere on the island, Nora found herself in a dire predicament. Groggily awakening, she was met with the chilling sight of grotesque men leering at her with wicked grins. Cameras were aimed at her, capturing her distress, while obscene laughter filled the air. It wasn't until searing pain shot through her lower body that Nora realized a repulsive man was violating her, treating her like a mere plaything.

“Whatever, man.” I could have ordered for them, but I did not wish to make Maddie more uncomfortable than she was already. After hanging up, I went and savoured the delicious food Maddie had brought. It was so good, as I had hoped. Every time I went to Maui, I stayed at that resort because it was the best. However, it was my first time to see Maddie.

~ ~ ~ ~ Later, Sunday night — before my first day I sit curled up on the couch, wrapped in a blanket, as Isa flips through N*****x like it’s a life-or-death decision. “Romance? Horror? Ooh, what about that psychological thriller we started last week?” I shoot her a deadpan look. “Isa, I can barely think straight. My brain is still trying to cope with the trauma of that night” She sighs dramatically. “Fine. Something light.” A few clicks later, a rom-com starts playing. Isa throws a handful of popcorn into her mouth, then glances at me. “You know, you’re overthinking this.” I scoff. “Oh, am I? Maybe because I made out with my arrogant, infuriating, devastatingly attractive boss.”

The morning air was too bright. Too clean. Too ordinary. Isla sat at her desk, trying to pretend that she hadn’t been fucked into oblivion the night before by a stranger whose name she still didn’t know. Her body ached in places that hadn’t felt anything in months. Her thighs throbbed with phantom pulses, and her lips were still swollen from his kiss.
