It’s the rule of the wilds. You must be bigger, and stronger, and tougher. A coldness radiates through me, a solid wall that is growing, piece by piece, in my chest. He doesn’t love me.He...

I had no jacket, but I didn’t even care.I was free.

You’re still the best.

I heard the bathroom door close and I kept my eyes screwed shut, but my heart skyrocketed into uncharted territories. I folded my arms around me and held my breath.There was the slightest movement behind...

Whispers followed me down the hall. Ignoring them was harder than I´d imagined. Every Cell in my body demanded that I confront them. And do what? Jump on them like a crazy spider monkey and...

Geez, man, I was just tryin’ to help.”My response is a glare.

I’m not worthy of you or your Omega awesomeness.

Just keep her away from bookstores, if you can.”Bookstores.Thanks, Grayson. That helps.Apparently whoever said, “no harm ever came from reading a book,” hadn’t met this girl.

I’ve neverheard that name before.

Yeah, I give you two a day before you end up killing one another,” Nicholas remarks with a laugh.”Seriously, it;s like watching mild porn, watching you two eye fuck each other every two seconds.

As we walked toward the dean’s office, he reached over, trailing his fingers along my arm. “Do they still react when I touch you?”Heat crawled through my veins, and I nodded. The marks had followed...

He was done talking. Aiden came off the wall so fast the water reacted in a frenzy of bubbling. He—we—were in a frenzy. His arms crushed me to him, his mouth demanding, saying those three...

If that’s true why did it jump into the swamp?” Alex asks. “No normal horse would do that. Jump into a lake for a swim maybe, but not a swamp, unless it was a suicidal...

He finished tying the knot and looked me in the face and I felt my gaze fall from his eyes to his lips and back again. “Why are you giving it back to me?” I...

And, my brothers, it was real satisfaction to me to waltz-left two three, right two three-and carve left cheeky and right cheeky, so that like two curtains of blood seemed to pour out at the...

If you’re a boy, any display of sensitivity is gay. Compassion is gay. Crying is supergay. Reading is usually gay. Certain songs and types of music are gay. ‘Enola Gay’ would certainly be thought gay....

You can’t tell me you’re not cold in those shorts.””Freezing,” she admitted, handing Alex her messenger bag as she got to her feet. “But dammit, I look cute and we both know that’s what counts.””Naturally.

Pero nunca volví sin recordar el fuego — la forma en que se comió el cielo, el sonido de una casa, un algo, encogiéndose a nada.Era por esto que era como el despertar en las...

It smells better? What does your bed smell like? Regret and bad taste?

Aiden smirked. “Wonder what this one is called?” The hellhound’s ears twitched as the massive body lowered preparing for attack. I slid my hand to the middle of the blade, feeling my heart pound and...

Lowering my chin, I sighed. What my Seth wanted, I wanted, but… daimons? I rubbed my hands on my bent knees and sighed again – louder, like a petulant child. Aiden’s back twisted as he...

I’m losing control.”-BrittanyMamacita, I’ve already lost it.”-Alex

Aren’t 3,000 lives worth a miracle to a good and all-powerful god?

You know, you hear about these movements for women, and for children, and for people who are any race but white, and you think that it’s about time that men got a movement. Think about...

Alex stepped out from behind the rock.Relieved to see him in one piece, I threw myself forward and hugged him. He returned the embrace with a low chuckle, “Jeez, Dez, if I knew this was...

I keep having the urge to cross my hands over my chest, to cover up my breasts, to hide. I’m suddenly aware of how pale I look in the sunshine, and how many moles I...

That was torture–being able to see, and smell, and hear, and being trapped in a cage. Like standing on the wrong side of the fence, only a few feet from freedom, and knowing you’ll never...

No. I do believe in them. I just think they’re absentee landlords. Right now, they’re probably hanging out somewhere in Las Vegas, screwing showgirls and cheating at poker.

Man up?” He sat back in a lazy, arrogant sprawl, but the coiled tension was in every muscle in his body. “It’s a good thing I love you or I’d find that particularly insulting.

But why is it still there? Why is it there at all?” I flipped my palm over several times, shook it, but the faint blue tattoo was still there. “You can see it, right? Like...

Oh, God. I’m in big trouble. Because I’m staring. I can’t keep my eyes from ogling his chiseled triceps and biceps and every other “eps ‘ he has. The butterflies in my stomach have just...

I mean it, guys,” I said. “Why don’t you play Two Foot Trivia instead? It’s just as fun and much safer.””First of all, this is completely safe,” Grayson replied. “Second, if we had both feet...

You coming?”She hesitated, weighing her options. Risk running back down the flaming aisles to find another exit? Or trust the guy who’d been stalking her all afternoon?The fire spread to the nearby shelves. The heat...

In the quiet, and the dark, I got stronger.

His eyes darken and his voice drops to a firm, husky tone.”I can always tie you to the bed and make it so you can’t go anywhere.

Much,” Aiden murmured.

It’s not just about private time. It’s the atmosphere, the music and the lighting. It’s about doing something in public you know you shouldn’t and doing it anyway for the thrill of it.

Or has your dad changed his mind about that?” Alex sneered. “My father never changes his mind.” “Oh, that’s right. Your dad’s the sort who’ll bang his head into a brick wall over and over,...

Something’s up,’ I say, handing the phone back.‘Not necessarily,’ Jack says. ‘You think this is the first time Lila’s been hot-headed? Seriously, dude, you do remember my sister, right? Short, blonde, impulsive as shock therapy?...

Alex like groweth up, Oh Yes.

They sent the shrink round yesterday. He’s put me on Prozac. Prozac! He thinks I’m depressed.”Aren’t you depressed?”I wasn’t depressed.”You did try to kill yourself,’ I pointed out.’Yes. That’s what he said too. Apparently that’s...

You can’t honestly be thinking about going back there,” said Alex.”Apparently my brother isn’t only lacking in people skills,” said Kenzie. “He’s also lacking in common sense. Stupidity, however, he appears to have in abundance.

Estaba pensando en Lena. Por supuesto. Siempre estaba pensando en Lena.

Why bother?

It was so quiet you could hear a fly run into a wall. Everyone was staring at me like I’d just pulled up my shirt and asked for some beads.

who needs daggers when I have akasha fingers of power?” ego trip.

I want to tell her how much she’s become the center of my being. But I can’t. The words won’t come.

Well why don’t you lean over this counter a little more and give me your best kiss, and then I’ll tell you if I want you to take me out to dinner.
