“There’s no escaping me, my love. Surrender.” – “Surrender” by Evanesence

Kiya

The darkness was cold. Frigid like the midst of a snowstorm.

Someone was here, following my every move. I could not see their eyes, but I could feel them. Their heavy, foreboding presence made the hairs on the back of my neck stand erect.

“Who’s here?” My shaky voice asked. No response. This was getting worse by the second. Times like this [ wish I had night–vision because I couldn’t see a damn thing. Only my unsteady breathing was heard, echoing

between the unseen walls.

“Scared of the dark, little Moon?” A deep, rumbling voice purred from the black. My heart almost stopped, frozen in shock. “I promise I won’t bite…much.”

I touched the cold door behind me, trying to feel for the knob. Once located, I found that it wouldn’t budge. My desperation grew the harder that I pulled. My breathing staggered and sweat glands worked overtime. “Let

me out!”

“I won’t. I just want to talk to you, my dear.” Footsteps. Left, right, front, behind? The illusion of surround sound forced my fight–or–flight mode to act. I chose flight before, but the tables have turned as my body fought. But the developments bothered me. How could a human be this fast to surround me?

Unless…he wasn’t human. This was Nadia’s mate? A coward hiding behind the darkness? Calming my staggered breathing, I shut my eyes and growled as deep and loud as I could.

“Isn’t it common courtesy to see the person you’re talking to? You could see me, but I can’t see you. How is that fair?”

“Adds to the illusion of mystery and it’s fun! I can’t have any fun while we chat?”

“No.” I snapped. “Show yourself, coward!”

Something slithered past my feet, slimy and scaly. The sudden surprise made me jump right into a cold body. Thick arms locked around me, the strength of this being was unmatched–he’s stronger than me! His arms shuffled. One wrapped around my stomach and the other around my collarbone. He presses my back against his hard chest, trapping me.

The slithery thing wrapped around my ankles and calves. One loop around turned to four before I saw something in the darkness that paralyzed me in fear.

Two glowing red eyes stilling my heart. It stared into the depths of my soul, searching for a piece to take a bite out of.

“Don’t be rude, Little Moon. I’m in a good mood and ruining it would cost you and I don’t want to mar your lovely skin.” He snarls in my ear, warm air tickling the lobe. Involuntarily, I shook in his arms. “Your scent is Intoxicating. So sweet. How many wolves grow weak in the knees from a single whiff of it?”

“So, you know I’m a werewolf. What else do you know about me?”
