    Private Tales The Price of Defiance

    Sadie drifted deep, down into a heavy sleep. Her dreams were strange, but not the sharp and cruel ones she was used to. There were no screams. There was no fire. No running or cages. Just...warmth. She walked. Barefoot through a field that shimmered, silver beneath the moonlight. The sky above...

    Private Tales The Price of Defiance

    Sadie clung to him, her fingers trembling as they ghosted over his chest. Her body was ruined in the best of ways- raw, aching, marked with bruises and tiny pinpricks where his lips and fangs had claimed her. And still, she only curled in closer to him, greedily drinking in his cold skin, his...

    Private Tales The Price of Defiance

    Sadie was shivering beneath him, but not from fear. Rather it was the sheer intensity of him. The way he was un raveling her without even needing to try. Her breath caught, tumbling from her open mouth into the space between them as his forehead pressed to hers, anchoring himself one last...

    Private Tales The Price of Defiance

    Her breaths came in ragged pulls, her body was trembling, blood was still seeping slow and thick down her neck. Yet, she made no attempt to wipe it away, to hide the tempting drug Nikolai had lost himself in. She didn't flinch when his snarl filled the heavy air between them. She didn't blink...

    Private Tales The Price of Defiance

    Sadie's breathing was heavy, her voice a symphony of pleas as she begged him to take from her, ignoring him when he fought the last of his restraint and lost. His lips met her neck again and there was a kiss. Soft. Gentle, almost. Then, completely and utterly feral. She did not register when he...

    Private Tales The Price of Defiance

    The world had turned to fire and ice. The ice of his flesh, the fire licking up through her veins, setting her ablaze from the inside out as she clung onto him. Her arms curled around his neck, her body was pressed flush against his unrelenting body. The kiss had opened something in her, some...

    Private Tales The Price of Defiance

    Because you're fucking mine. I would burn kingdoms before I let another male touch you. You're not just an inconvenience...You're the fucking end of me. She didn't flinch. Not when the plate shattered at her feet. Not when his hand yanked her closer and the other closed around her throat...

    Private Tales The Price of Defiance

    She froze in place, flinching when Nikolai spoke, her breath catching painfully in her chest as though she had been struck by his hand. Her back stiffened. Her eyes stung. The air itself had shifted into something heavier now- charged with the way her magic coiled in her core, hissing and...

    Private Tales The Price of Defiance

    Sadie's breath caught as Nikolai's words hit her. They weren't hard, not even sharp, but rather dull and heavy. Like a door closing in her face. She sat there in the fire-warmed glow, her fork placed on the table still holding a slice of the star-shaped fruit she had been so excited about in its...

    Private Tales The Price of Defiance

    Sadie remained on the greenhouse floor long after the sounds of his agony faded. They had scraped through the silence of the house, snarls that were of raw pain. Not rage or hunger. Just hurt. He had tried to brave the sun and lost. And still, she hadn't moved. She had known he would follow...

    Private Tales The Price of Defiance

    Somewhere deep in her dream, she ran barefoot through fields of white trees, the sky stained purple and violet of the dusk. She wasn't afraid there. Wasn't hunted. Something did follow her, though. Not dark, not cruel. Just.. steady. A presence constantly at her back, watching over her. She...

    Private Tales The Price of Defiance

    Sadie hadn't stirred when he lifted her. Hadn't awoken when her head lulled against his chest. Not when the blankets slipped loose from her small frame. Not even when he laid her down on bedding more lavish than anything she had every known, anything she had ever deserved. But her stillness...

    Private Tales The Price of Defiance

    Sadie stood there, frozen, in the quiet corridor long after Nikolai had dropped her books and vanished down the stairs. The echo of his words still rattled her bones, rang in her ears. Going back to Eluin. To the people who know what she barely even understood about herself. He was going to kill...

    Private Tales The Price of Defiance

    Sadie's bloodshot eyes darted over his face, looked over every line, every unreadable expression, desperate to find some kind of softness there, some reassurance. Some sign that maybe he didn't mean it. That maybe he wouldn't really leave her here. Alone. But she found none. Of course she...

    Private Tales The Price of Defiance

    He had let her cry, let her fall apart as she needed to. And then Sadie's body sagged from the weight of it all, her arms loosened around herself and her forehead dropped to her knees like her body was finally giving out from everything that had happened. But even like this, collapsed beside the...
