Tristan emerged from the brush, his light hair catching every ounce of moonlight.
‘Daisy.’ Breyona murmured, ‘Focus.’
I painted an image in my mind, showing Breyona and Mason what was happening.
A low growl rang out in my head as Mason caught sight of Scott.
‘Any minute now.’ Maya murmured, ‘Tristan is gonna try to get into your head.’
“You know why I’m here.” I straightened my spine, and fought to keep my voice even and clear. “Tell me what I need to know.”
“Mm, you want information?” Tristan mused, a sly smile on his face. “What will you give in return?”
Scott glared at Tristan, but quickly turned his eyes back to my own. For just a split second, I saw the
Scott of my childhood lingering in his gaze.
He was in way over his head. Whatever plan he had was failing, being taken over by the Vampires. I refused to help him. He made his choice, and now he was going to suffer for it.
At Tristan’s words, two more Vampire’s came into the clearing. Each had Tristan’s strange beauty, even though all three were wildly different.
The first one was huge with tanned skin and short curly hair. The second had skin the color of fresh espresso, his eyes gold and firm.
“You said to come alone.” My eyes flickered between the two new Vampires. I kept any fear that threatened to fill me under control. “And yet you bring backup?”
I felt like I was wrestling a wild bull. The scarlet mark on my neck itched and burned, begging to be soothed by Tristan’s touch. I was holding that part of myself back, all while controlling my emotions.
“My friends Gabriel and Giovanni are merely here for protection.” Tristan’s smile was understanding and slightly condescending. “We are on Alpha Nolan Desmond’s territory after all.”
‘What did he say their names were?’ Breyona’s voice sounded rushed, almost frantic.
‘Giovanni and Gabriel.’ I murmured quickly, refusing to take my attention off any of them for a split second.
Something happened in my mind, something that nearly threw me off guard.
I could feel someone walking around in my head, their fingers grazing the books that sat nestled on my shelves. If I closed my eyes, I was sure I’d see Tristan’s sly grin as he strolled around in my head.
I forced every book to remain on it’s shelf, tightly bound and out of reach. My head wasn’t foggy this time, my thoughts were clear but my attention was divided.
“Why don’t you come with us, beautiful?” Tristan murmured, taking a slow step towards me. “Let me finish what I started and I will give you all the information you desire.”
I could feel his words bouncing around in my head, urging me to follow along. His words tried their best to dull my senses, but the books on my shelves remained tightly bound.
“No.” I shook my head, feeling a small piece of me cower at the word. “I will not come with you.”
“Learned some new tricks?” Surprise flashed across Tristan’s flawless face, followed by irritation. “No matter. Try if you will, but you are destined to be mine. My Queen.”
That side of me whimpered at the word ‘Queen’, and I couldn’t help but think of how fitting it would be.
Queen Daisy.
‘Snap out of it.’ Maya hissed.
‘Daisy, keep yourself together.’ Breyona scowled in my mind.
My bookshelves stopped shaking and finally remained still.
“No one dictates what I’m destined for.” I snapped at Tristan, reigning in my irritation at the last moment. “I belong to no one. Now give me the information you promised before I alert the rest of my pack.”
A sly grin formed on Tristan’s face.
“You threaten me with your precious Alpha?” Tristan’s eyes flickered deviously, “I will tell you one thing, beautiful. This is only the beginning. Your pack will fall, and you will take your rightful place by my side.”
“Don’t count on it.” I shook my head, ignoring my burning mark.
As much as I denied it, a part of me wanted to be with Tristan. The desire I saw in the depths of his eyes called to me, as well as the darkness surrounding him. It was alluring, promising power and praise
I had never experienced before.
Tristan continued worming his way into my head, searching for some way to weaken my control. While his face remained calm, I could feel his burning frustration.
He had never been slighted beforenever been resisted. For whatever reason, I was the ultimate prize for him, a prize he had to win.
That only strengthened me. I was not a prize to be won. I’m stubborn, hard-headed, and fiercely loyal
Daisy.
“You can’t break me, Tristan.” I managed to utter his name, not a trace of longing or familiarity in my words. “What a waste of time this must be for you.”
Tristan’s eyes flashed dangerously, his sly grin widening on his face. He looked like some kind of avenging angelor demon. Beautifully fair haired, his porcelain skin appeared to glow under the moonlight.
“On the contrary, I’ve been meaning to ask you something beautiful.” Tristan’s voice was rough and smug. “Haven’t you been wondering where your brother is?”
The bookshelves collapsed, each book tearing at the binding. Pages scattered to the floor, messy scrawling covering each torn scrap.
My mind clouded with thoughts of Tristan. The mind-link snapped, leaving me alone.
Mason’s P.o.v
I spent the next day with Adrienne on my mind. Her deep espresso skin, her startling eyes, and the way her full lips curved up in a smile. I could hardly focus on anything else. The prospect of meeting my mate that night was overwhelming. My mind flitted through the possibilities of the life we could have together.
I had gotten off work late that night. I stayed a couple hours after my shift, not wanting to go back to my
Grandfather’s house. There was a constant air of stress in that house. My Dad was practically waiting for my Grandfather to slip up and treat my Mom like c**p. Mom was constantly walking around on eggshells, memories from her horrible childhood resurfacing.
I hung my apron up on one of the many hooks lining the Deli’s walls and clocked out. I smelled like cold cut sandwiches, something I wasn’t too fond of.
“I’ll see you tomorrow, kid.” The owner Dev grumbled, his eyes down on the till as he counted twenty dollar bills.
“See ya, Dev.” I nodded, walking out of the Deli. The little bell on the door clanged as it slammed shut, ringing out into the empty street.
