AURELIA

Life moves on whether we want it to or not. The sun rises and sets. Only here, it’s always dark. A week has passed since my escape. Daemon won’t speak to me, and Alaric and Ronan keep close as if they worry I might try to escape again. Though we all know it’ll be a while before my feathers grow back in. In the meantime, I get to look even more like a freak in this world of black.

I can’t seem to move past the fact that my home rejected me. I’m a shadow of my former self, walking the hallways with my gaze down. I should pay attention in class. Especially now that it’s becoming abundantly clear that I won’t ever return to Eden. I need to learn all there is about life in Hell, but it’s hard. I don’t even have the strength to feel jealous when Daemon brings girls home.

I sit on the couch, squashed between Ronan and Alaric, while a girl dances sultrily for Daemon in her panties and bra. My gaze burns a hole in the carpet. Is this my life now? Stuck here? In this world of despair, where we feed on others' suffering? Why else would he pull her down on his lap and spread out like a king while she rolls her hips against him?

Ronan nudges me. “Earth to Angel.”

I drag my eyes away from the worn carpet and gaze up at him. His dark hair curls at the ends and his brown eyes, framed by dark lashes, search mine.

He snaps his fingers in front of my face and says, “She’s about to fuck him. Aren’t you going to do something? Launch yourself at her for the most epic catfight of the century? Stake your claim?”

My eyes wander over to Daemon, and I watch as she slides down the straps on her bra and bares her small, perfect breasts. “It’s only fair, isn’t it? I fucked his cousin.” I rise to my feet and walk out. Daemon follows me with his eyes, but his attention soon gets drawn back to the girl when she throws her head back and bares her slender neck.

I’ve barely made it upstairs before Ronan grabs the back of my neck and shoves me into his bedroom. Alaric follows us in, kicking the door shut. A king-sized bed with gray silk sheets takes up most of the space. The window behind it is ajar, and sheer, black curtains move in the slight breeze. There’s a large desk with a pile of books on it, one of which lies open. It smells of Ronan in here—woodsy and mysterious.

He drops down in his chair, reaching for a joint on his desk, while Alaric walks past me and sinks down on the edge of the bed.

Confused, I look between them. “Why am I here?”

Ronan lights up his joint, puts his feet on the desk, and crosses them at the ankles. “We’re hanging out. The time for moping is fucking over. So they didn’t let you back in, big fucking deal.
