“Am I that much like her?” “Ella… Please… This is not easy for me,” he nuzzled in her hand. “You have to understand. When I look at you, I see her,” he felt her flinch and disappointment appeared in those sparkling green gems. “Let me finish,” his grip on her became stronger. “I see her, but when I look at you, I also see a different woman, authentic and impulsive. You have a strength she'd never had and at the same time…” he pressed her tightly to him, his eyes darkened to that midnight bluish gray. He drew a long breath and hid his face on her neck smelling her sweet perfume. “At the same time… You remind me of her"

Chapter: Back Home 67 - I Killed Them All!
“Nice haircut, sis! Who’s your hairdresser?” Claire couldn’t let that pass seeing her with very short hair and badly fixed since the only options were wearing a wig or being bald, her comment and chuckles made Chloe hiss at her. “Opsie… I see you didn’t like it!” she said laughing and rocking back and forth in her heels. Her mocking died down when she came closer to her with an ugly semblance.

Chapter: Back Home 65 - Ok, now talk!
Justin left the house straight to the street. He didn’t even pay attention to Hank sitting on the garden bench outside.“Hey! What’s up, man! Where are you going in such a hurry?” in a blink of an eye Justin walked up to him grabbing him by the collar of his shirt. In one millisecond, Hank swept his foot u

He didn’t understand what she meant when he shut his eyes and twisted his face in pain.“Justin, it’s not that. Remember, I didn’t want to wear the necklace?” she spoke warily. Then, those cold stones were on her again, and by the acknowledgment in his eyes, she knew she didn’t need to explain

Chapter: The pull of mates.
When I stepped back once more, I hit the outside arm of my couch losing my balance, and I grabbed his shirt trying to steady myself, but I ended up pulling both of us to the cushions with Killian almost falling on top of me, if it wasn’t for his quick thinking, and rolling us to the floor with me toppling him, I'd be squashed by his huge frame like a bug. We were face to face and locked eyes, not even a blink. The feeling of his muscled body against mine mixed with the cedar and maple, emanating from his heated skin was a drugging combination, driving my mind into a hazy state. Biting my bottom lip I shuddered, and by the wicked smile that blossomed on his lip

Chapter: Too much of a heavy load.
My nerves were a wreck, and I was already going up the walls, when my cell phone beeped.“Niall! Did you find him? How is he?” I didn’t even let the man speak, and I bombarded him with questions, as I was worried sick about Teague. He had disappeared and closed himself off, since I told him I found my mate.“He’s ok, don’t worry.” he’s smooth voice came through, washing away my concerns.

Chapter: Life is not always fair.
I’ve never felt this way, the moment he stepped foot into Witch’s Brew, his gingery woody scent washed over me, even with all the scents lingering around, coming from people mingling with each other and all the booze going on, I knew he was in my pub. I had to keep myself together to finish the task at the bar, but when the music ended, and I met his hazel eyes my control flew out the window, and I made a mess. Now, I was here against a wall, kissing him nonsense, as if I was drowning in a stormy sea of emotions, and with every struggle to surface, more to the bottom of the ocean I would sink.

Love Beyond Death

Love Beyond Death

"Alizandra? Alizandra?" my heart stuttered and my muscles suddenly got heavy. No, she wasn't leaving me again. "I forbid you to die on me, Liz! Wake up, draga. Wake up!" but she didn't respond at all, listless in my arms. Some sort of déjà vu, and my world narrowed on her. I brought her closer and her shallow breathing scared the hell out of me, but it was there. Her paled face and her skin so cold against my body, bringing back horrible memories that it was better left forgotten. I had to do something or life was about to repeat itself, and I wouldn't allow it this time!

Chapter: Open your eyes. Say something...
I shivered from head to toe, and my mind was in chaos. Things got out of hand so fast I didn’t see it coming. I didn’t mean to hurt him, much less say those things, sometimes I just didn’t have a filter. I’ve been so hurt in my entire life, that I forgot I’m not the only one who had suffered in this life, lots of other people also deal with their own nightmares on a daily basis.

Chapter: I didn't mean like that!
The cold tone in which she professed those words took me aback, and involuntarily my body tensed and my hands became fists, and she noticed, even my demon raised his head in awareness, the need of dominating her rising in him. I didn’t expect that from her in any way possible, and if I wasn’t already shaken up enough by Anton’s news, now I’ve got speechless by her lack of emotions, but the worst was the painful tightness in my throat and the broken feeling that settled in my chest. In a speedy second my hands flew to her neck and long hair, pulling them down, so she faced me.

Chapter: Out of my life with a snap of my fingers.
When I heard the noise coming from the living room, I ran there to find him on the floor, pale as a sheet of paper, staring at the fire like if the blazes were ghosts haunting him. Since we found each other I’ve never seen him so out of his bearings. He didn’t answer me when I called, so I went to him, kneeling between his legs and sitting on my calf. I put my hands on both sides of his face, and it startled me how cold he was.

Chapter: The Threatening 6
“Ella! Ella!” Valentina called a few times and no answer. “What’s wrong with you?” she said without much patience.“Oh… yes… I'm sorry… What were you saying?" Ella replied confused. "Meeting. New client?""What's wrong with you? You're acting weird since you've gotten back from Spain," she said with concern in her voice. "Lately, you lost focus. You space out all the time and you seem you can't concentrate anymore!" she mentioned suspiciously "What happened on board of that ship, Ella?"Ella gave Valentina a hopeless look and a long sigh. “We really need to talk, I feel like I’m going to burst.” and she put her hand in her chest suddenly stopping talking like if it hurt her."I'm worried about you. You haven’t been yourself at all.”"I know. Just a little more patience, please? For now, can we just go back to work? What about the client?" she pleaded with Valentina and her eyes full of tears. Seen her distress Valentina nodded.

Chapter: The Cruise 5 - What is Happening to Us?
When Ella came back to her cabin, the sun was already setting. She was restless, and her mind was chaotic. She was happy that Justin left her alone for a while, but she didn’t know he went to her cabin several times in the afternoon and didn’t find her there. At the same time something inside her ached for him, her senses were telling her that something bad had happened between those two and the way he looked so much in love in the picture he was the one who got the short end of the shit. She didn’t know what to think of the whole situation and who the girl from the picture was. Ok, it was her in that picture, but; it wasn’t! Her eyes were so cold that it gave her the chills! No, not me at all, so who was she then! With all these in her head, Ella got ready and went to a diner at the far end of the ship to have dinner. She left, looked around suspiciously and sneaked mingling with the other guests. She was feeling like a criminal sneaking

Chapter: The Cruise 4 - Is That Y*u?
Ella went straight to the bathroom, turned on the lights and looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were dark green, her face red. She touched her swollen lips and closed her eyes, remembering Justin's lips on her. God! What have I done? This is not me… this is nuts! “What am I going to do? I’m stuck on a ship with a handsome, crazy guy who thinks I’m somebody else!” she said out loud. “And worse, it seems I can’t tear my eyes away from him,” Ella let it out a nervous laugh. She washed her face, put her pajamas on, and laid down on her bed. She was appalled with herself. Staring at the ceiling in the dark, listening to the sound of the sea outside, Ella never felt this way, at least not with Tom. What was wrong with her? There’s something compelling about him. Something she can’t put her finger on. Maybe his troubled eyes, she knows suffering, she had her own share of it, and somehow she connected with him, she just didn’t know why, bu

Chapter: The Cruise 3 - Some Answers
“I’m sorry if I did that, it wasn’t my intention. And yes, you are her spitting image,” Justin clenched his jaw. Something was odd, but it was impossible not to be the same person. What was going on? Claire had a double, or she was a hell of an actress and should get an Oscar for it!“You’re doing it again…” Ella said playfully. “Ok, I’ll try to make a good impression to make up for my clone, deal?” she winked and smiled at him. Seeing the surprise all over his face, Ella relaxed and started reading the menu for her options.“Are you ready to order?” asked Anna, handing them their drinks.Ella got her beer and gave a long and nice gulp on it. “So good! I needed this!” she muttered to herself, closing her eyes. Justin kept observing her and at that moment h

When he finally came to his senses, it was already late morning the next day, there was an empty bottle of whiskey on the bed with him, it was almost noon and his mind was in utter chaos. He felt desperate. For the first time, he didn’t know what to do. It was impossible for Claire to be alive. No one would survive that fall. How? How is she here? Tears of anger and frustration came to his eyes and for a long time, he was just there, lost in his thoughts. After a while he forced himself back from his ordeal, showered, got dressed and left.It was evening already, and he had stalked her the whole afternoon. Justin was a distance away behind a few colu
