Moria would set them straight - at the point of her dagger if needed. Ashyn did not care. She had escaped on her own, and everyone who mattered knew that, and that was what would be important in her l...
Mom isn’t here, Corey said. Neither is Travis. So much for my grand resurrection. He slumped onto the sofa. We’ll have to wait for them. Which is a little anticlimactic.We decided to clean up and eat....
Mina Lee was right. The isolation is driving us crazy. We just hadn’t realized it yet.Not the isolation. The mad science experiments. They’ve spiked the water with hallucinogens.
Just relax, he said, his breath hot against my ear.His hand slid to rest against my hip. He stayed bent over my shoulder, as if trying to see through the slats in the door, his breath ruffling my hair...
Jeremy shifted to the left, blocking my view of Clay, as if we were Siamese fighting fish that wouldn’t attack if we couldn’t see each other.
I…I still--Can’t believe it? Rafe shrugged. I’m guessing a regular person wouldn’t have survived. But we’re part cat so maybe falls aren’t so bad. I think I lost one of my nine lives though. He twiste...
I’m here doing something to apologize, because I know that I handled yesterday badly. I pushed too hard, too fast, and stormed off in a temper when you needed me to slow down. It won’t happen again. I...
It’s official, Sam said as we walked out. We’re screwed. The universe is conspiring to destroy us.If it was, I think it could have managed that a few times by now.
It's a road!I patted his back. It's a lovely road. Now which way do we go?Corey looked one way, the brown ribbon extending into emptiness. He looked the other way, saw the same thing and his shoulders...
It might not be fatal, I said. Depends on how long it takes you to find your cell phone.I emptied the rifle’s magazine. Then I laid down the gun.I’d suggest you tell the police it was a hunting accide...
It had to be killing him to walk, but when I asked if he wanted to stay behind, his response was an emphatic no with an edge of panic.Can I apologize again for snapping? he said.No. I sat back on my h...
It doesn’t seem real. The fire. The people in the forest. The helicopter crash. Mayor Tillson. Rafe. I looked up at him again. It can’t be real. I’m asleep. It’s a nightmare. Tell me it is.He hugged m...
If we light a fire, someone out boating might see us.That’s a good idea, Sam said. Or it would be. If we had matches to light a fire. Or if anyone was actually out boating.Why don’t we just find a pla...
I-I didn't... Derek began.He scrambled from under Liam. The werewolf's body fell, limp, to the side, his head twisted, neck broken.Derek swallowed. The sound echoed in the silence. I didn't-- I just--...
I've done something wrong, Ronan grumbled as he shoved his spare tunic into his pack.You know you haven't. Ashyn handed him his sleeping blanket.See? Even you're trying to get rid of me. I've done som...
I won't make excuses for what I did. The truth is that your whole life can change with one split-second decision, and it doesn't matter if you told yourself you'd never do it or if you stepped into th...
I went in through the side garage door, which Corey said was always open. Ms. Morris’s car was parked inside. I hurried to the house door and knocked.No one answered. I knocked again, then tried the k...
I was dreaming, I said. Again.Can’t say I blame you. Daniel eased back as I moved away to sit on the ground. Been having a few anxiety dreams myself.I looked at him and the events of the last day slow...
