“What if they follow me like Shane did?” I have to voice it, otherwise it will play havoc with my brain all night.
He looks at me and I watch as he opens his mouth, and then Daria’s voice filters through the door in the living area and the moment is gone.
I guess I won’t be getting any more answers now, but at least I’m safe… I think.
I wake up without realizing I’d even been asleep, my body is warm maybe a little too warm. There’s an arm draped over my hip, and my head seems to be lying on another one. Am I being spooned? By Aeron? How the fuck did this happen? I barely remember climbing out of the shower, let alone getting changed and climbing into bed. I know I did, and I also know that Aeron had to let Daria in for a little while so she knew I was okay. I guess I must have fallen asleep shortly after she arrived, I wonder how long he’s been in here with me?
A loud thump fills the room, as something hits the floor and I lift my head to see a figure sitting on a chair, staring at us.
A squeak passes from me as I look at him, trying to figure out if it’s a friend or foe. Although sitting in the dark and watching me sleep, definitely gives him the creep factor.
“Don’t worry, I was just making sure you were okay after the day you’ve had.”
“I-I’m fine,” I whisper, not wanting to disturb Aeron.
“Are you sure? I mean, after what Sir made you do to Four, it couldn’t have been easy.”
“Y-yes, I’m sure. It’s not sitting well, but I’m managing,” I say and he starts to move closer, as he rises from his seat, and starts putting one foot in front of the other.
My eyes lock onto his mossy greens as his face comes into the light, and my brain clearly isn’t functioning at full capacity right now, because this shouldn’t be happening. I should be questioning this. Come on Luna, wake up and smell the fucking coffee.
“Liam.”
“No My Star, Liam never existed,” he holds his arms out wide, as he slowly does a full three hundred and sixty turn. “You’ve been playing with the Prince all along.”
My mind may as well explode, I’ve seen the signs for so long. All those pieces that refused to fit together in my mind or maybe it was more the fact I didn’t want them to fit. I didn’t want to admit that I was falling for the Devil.
His nose brushes against mine and I keep perfectly still, not wanting to react and show him how he’s affecting me.
“Did you really hurt Carly?” Don’t ask him that, it’s not as though he’s going to admit it if he did.
“I think I’ll leave it to you to work that one out for yourself Star, do you think I’m capable of doing that to someone?”
How am I supposed to know? He’s infuriating, but there’s one other thing I need to know. It may not be as important as who hurt Carly, but it still means a lot to me and I need an answer.
“Was it nothing but a game to you?” I ask, my voice catching as I think about all the things he made me feel, and everything I ever said to him. He played me so fucking well. If he truly was the Devil, then I would be his golden fiddle.
“No, not entirely. But if it was a game, let me just say that it is far from over. Believe me My Star, I’m just getting started. You’re the prize, and I cannot wait to collect. My Star, my Harkwright girl and a legacy befitting a prince.”
There’s that word again, legacy.

Thank you
Thank you to my family for all your support and helping me to realise my dream, especially my hubby who has always been supportive of my writing, even if he isn’t a big reader himself. Shocking I know, but I love him anyway.
I want to say thank you to Claire, Kaara, Savannah, Robin and Bibi, for being there for me, not just as readers, alphas and Pa’s but as friends. You’ve been with me since the beginning and I love you all, I wouldn’t be here without your support, help and cap locking me when I’m being a moron. Also, those comments you left me as the story went on made my day, and I still smile when I recall them now.
My black heart loves you all.

About the Author
I’m B C Morgan, I’ve lived in England for the entire duration of my life. I have two beautiful children, who mean the entire world to me. I also have an amazing partner who has supported me every step of the way. I’m very lucky to have the family and friends I have, they have given me so much support and I appreciate them all. I also wouldn’t be here without the wonderful Diabetic Team I have in my corner, they help to keep my healthy.
I mainly write contemporary style books, but I do like to branch out into the Dystopian Genre. But really, I will try my hand at any style that suits whatever idea is swimming around within my head, even PNR.
I love Coffee, no matter if it’s a drink or ice cream, I’ll be the first one there to buy it. I love all music, but my favourites include Foo Fighters, Cage the Elephant, Queen and Carrie Underwood.
I read all types of books, but my favourites include crime books from the likes of J.D Robb and Jack Higgins, to fantasy type books from Rachael Caine and my new favourite contemporary author Bo Reid. That’s not to mention the amazing Contemporary authors Scarlett Ross and Crystal North who drag you into their worlds and make it impossible to leave until you’ve devoured each and every word.
Last but not least I am Bee, and if you’d like to get to know me better, here’s where you can find me.
