Fangs for Nothing (The Nevermore Murder Club and Smutty Book Coven 1)

by Steffanie Holmes

“We’re cool, Vlad.” Isis props her tie-dye Dr Martens on Alaric’s antique coffee table. His jaw ticks, but he doesn’t say a thing.

But does he know how weak? Does he know how much I want to stay?

Well, I want to love you whether you are a quiet day or a raging hurricane. I want you to fall apart for me so I can love every piece of you. Give me your wounds, Winnie, and I will bleed for you.”

“Okay. I’ll stay on at Black Crag with you.” My heart hammers against my ribs. “On three conditions.” “I accept.” “You don’t even know what the conditions are.” “I don’t need to.”

She gasps as tears spring from her eyes and begin to trickle down her cheeks. She whirls on her heel and sprints outside, desperate to get away from me. I can smell the salt of her tears. She doesn’t look back.

Why does every good book need to be ruined with a third act break up

That’s what I was going back to if I stayed with Alaric. And if I became a vampire, too, I would face an eternity of it.

bffr you drama queen it was one room

catching abilities. I miss Alaric. I might’ve mentioned that. I miss myself

You're the one who ran away psycho

At first, the girls sent me nearly daily updates from Argleton. But after I didn’t answer them, they slowly stopped texting. Last week they removed me from the group chat.

Then dont complain

I wish I had done the same for Alaric. I made him so afraid of being himself that he created a secret room to hide his heart from me.

Now you're getting it

“I am a centuries-old vampire prince from one of the most noble bloodlines of the Nightshade Court.” Alaric holds out the keys to me. “I have no clue how to work that infernal contraption. You will drive. I will work the map and choose the playlist.”

God i love him

He sees me.

To be loved

“The second key is for Black Crag.”

And I hope, I wish, that maybe, you could be happy with me, as my wife.” My heart and my lips answer at the same time. “Hell yes!”

“Because,” – Arabella flicks her hair over her shoulder – “as a vampire myself, I’ve purchased a home in the Sanctus Estate.”

I KNEW IT
