“I curse those who commit wrongs against me and mine,” Catherine said in a voice that was not her own. “I curse those who steal what is not freely given to feel pain and suffering over time. I curse these lands until their last days. His hounds will hunt and gather and kill all who did an injustice against the line!” Catherine screamed as a pale colored light shot out of her markings, flying toward the night sky as her life slowly began to fade from her eyes.”

“You’re not no one, you’re mine!” he fumes, face inches from mine now as he grabs my chin. “And you are alive. It takes strength to wake up every day after surviving that.

I will take it.” “You speak of the law, yet you break it so easily,” Lord Higher Charles sneers. “Law is still law.” I lift my eyes, my resolve clear in them.”

“I hurt you, so I hurt me. You bled so I will bleed. You were torn so I will tear, and you were scarred so I will fucking scar," he growls, his eyes coming back to mine as a tear falls from my eye. "There is no you, there is no me, there will forever be an us. Equal in every way.”

“Darius stops in front of me, his boots at my chained hands, and I look down at them. They’re clean, laces tied tightly. I breathe in his scent, wrapping it around me as deeply as I can to prepare myself as I’m sure the air will soon be filled with the scent of my blood instead.”

“Dull eyes collide with mine, and I hold back my reaction at seeing that look in her once lively ice-blue orbs that sometimes look like glass. No fire, no light, no flecks… just nothing. Not even tears, though I can see she has been crying, her eyes puffy. But the look in them is so much different than what I have seen over the weeks since I have been her shadow. Since the moment our eyes caught and collided in The Deadlands. Why don’t I like that look?”

“You weren’t a bad fuck, Rhea.” He shrugs, tilting his head at me. “I wonder how many males have slipped between your thighs beforehand though. Is that how you became Alpha of this pack? You fucked the old one, and he had an unfortunate accident?” I jolt at his words. “You say bad shit happened here, yet I don’t see the cause of that bad shit. Only scared people and you opening your legs so easily to anyone willing to climb between them.” He tilts his head the other way. “Or is that lying, bitch mouth of yours still spewing bullshit and manipulating her own pack?” I’m frozen, wondering where this is coming from. What caused this change in him to make him so cruel? We have been at somewhat of a truce. I let him inside my body, and he wanted it. He came to me. Yet I let just anyone in? Why is he doing this now?”

“The real monster?” I shake my head. “They stand in front of you and offer fake kindness, fake comfort, only to grab your throat the next second and squeeze, just to see how long it takes for you to pass out without air, how mush you can scratch and kick them before you go unconscious. They are the real monsters, Darius. Not me. I told you about those monsters back in Eridian. You haven’t been listening!”
― Kelly Cove, The Dark Rising

“There, under the moonlight, I feel like it’s possible to have the impossible for just a moment. I’m not the Alpha of Eridian, and he isn’t the Alpha of the Elites. We are not enemies, just a man and a woman with no responsibilities until the sun rises and the day begins anew. And as he softens the kiss and rubs his nose against mine, I know I will remember this moment as one of those precious ones. Where he let himself indulge, and I let myself be selfish until we go back to reality.”
