Reborn (Shadow Beast Shifter, #3)

by Jaymin Eve

A broken mind and a fractured soul. Was there redemption or relief from the endless darkness? Or would I continue to dwell on the bane of my existence?

He’d made a mistake in revoking the rejection because I was the fucking queen here, and I would sacrifice them all to learn my truth.

Sure, we’d just made friends like toddlers in the park, but why did adults have to complicate everything? If you click with someone, be their friend. If they prove they’re not worthy of your friendship, bury their body and start again.

Badass or stupid. Such a fine line.

“Oh, good. I was worried I’d be the dramatic one in this friendship.” “Rest assured…” I choked out. “You have no need to worry on that front.”

Gaster had said he would spill everything that had happened; I just had to be patient. Which was clearly a strong character trait of mine. Along with delusion.

He was worthy beyond all others, and it was time that I tracked him down… and made that bastard repair my library. Right after he fucked me silly. No lie, my heart and my vagina fluttered at the very thought.

My plan to grow on him like some sort of exotic fungus was in full swing.

He might not think the word “love” meant much, but he spoke a language of love without even realizing it.

Our kiss was bittersweet and perfect. A kiss to soothe and heal. A kiss to cleanse our pain from many bitter nights apart. A kiss to break the final dredges of Dannie’s spell. A kiss of love. No matter what my beast might think.

My life was an endless night before you came into it, but now there’s fire everywhere I turn. You know how I feel about fire.”

That was good news… if you tilted your head and squinted at it.

“How is it that you still don’t understand the danger of putting a foreign object in your mouth?” Shadow asked with a shake of his head. “For all you know, the water here could kill you in an instant.” I gawked at him. “You didn’t say anything when I had your dick in my mouth. Where was your concern then?”

Why waste words when you could answer with just one…

Holy shit. Excitement shot me forward, and I didn’t hesitate to take the corner from her. When it hit my hand, it felt like I held a boiling stone. The texture was smooth, and it sizzled against my hands but didn’t hurt me. And the power… it filled me with heat, like that of my fire, but also different. Ancient and heady, it pushed and pulled at my essence, and I swallowed roughly in an attempt to pull myself together. Shadow leaned closer, drawn in by my power, just as I always was with his. His eyes were flaming orbs, eating me up, and I ended up both weak at the knees and horny like no one’s fucking business. “Eat it, Sunshine,” he said in that deep rumble of his voice. “Swallow that power down.” Motherfucker. His words were saying one thing, while his eyes reminded me of our last dance in the bedroom when he’d come in my mouth and I’d felt a burst of power from tasting him like that.

“Your smart mouth is about to turn your ass red,” he murmured close to my ear, the hard length of his body pressing into mine as his power surrounded me. “That would be quite the skill,” I managed to choke out. “Not at all,” he replied easily. “Just count yourself lucky that right now, we have places to be.” I pouted. “I don’t consider that lucky at all, thanks very much.”

The Shadow Beast, demon of the darkness, and plunderer of my vagina.

“You were made for me,” he said in his deep brogue. “There’s no other, Sunshine. Not now, not ever.”
