The way he delivered that sentence, made it so frightening and still managed to maintain his smile made me shiverNow I see why they call him the devil.This is a man that can kill you, while smiling at you making you believe you are friends.“I do not understand what you are talking about.” I said , shaking my head because surely he was joking.What league of assassins was he talking about? My father was just a businessman and he never involved himself with that mafia. In fact I knew just how much he hated them… so does this man really expect me to believe his rubbish?“Sure you do. Because before your father died, he mentioned your name and said you had everything we needed. So you are going to tell us everything is beautiful, now I am asking nicely because I will get it out of you anyway.”I shivered as his smile dropped and his eyes turned cold, “Well, you are lying. THere is no way my father could have possibly told you that because I do not know what you are talking about.”He i

“YOU DID WHAT?”Vivienne actually had the nerve to startle at my yell - not just that she had the nerve to look at me with shock on her face.Yup! She had the nerve to look shocked as if she had not just delivered a huge blow to my face.“How dare you?” I asked my voice getting higher, “How dare you trade me off like that? You had no right Vivienne. You had no right!”She frowned, “Why are you acting like it's a big deal.”I opened my mouth, then closed it when words failed me, because honestly my was flabbergasted gasted!Why am I acting like it is a big deal?She was really going to ask me that with a straight face?Why am I acting like it is a big deal?“Oh i am sorry,” I responded with a smile, “I was really not aware that you selling me off to the same man who murdered my father, was not a big deal - oh, and against my knowledge might i add.”She rolled her eyes, and I clenched my fist so rightfully it hurt. If anything but to control my family.I have always disliked Vivienne

The wolf…I saw it again - this time there was something different in its eyes.An anger that was never there before, that confused me.I leaned closer and touched its furry head with a smile.It was warm. So warm that I had this crazy urge to just wrap my arms around it and close my eyes.When I removed my hand though, my heart skipped a beat as I saw it covered in so much blood.Before I could react, the world threw its head back and howled, and I could feel its pain and anger In that single howl.It sounded like a cry of sorrow.My mind was frantic as I looked at it.Was it hurt?And why was he suddenly staring at me sadly?When I woke up from that sleep - I got the worst news I could ever think of.My father was found dead in the streets.***********The morning started out like any other morning.My alarm clock wakes me up at 6, the birds chirping, the sun rising from the east and people going about their day, as if everything was normal and perfect.But everything wasn't normal.

The cold night air hit my face as I stepped outside the hospital. The chaos from earlier had faded, leaving behind an eerie quiet. My body felt heavy, my mind even heavier.I should have felt relief.Iris and Samantha were in police custody. They wouldn’t be able to hurt Natalie again. The nightmare should have been over.But it wasn’t.Something inside me wouldn’t rest.I stood near the entrance, watching as the police officers led the two women to the waiting patrol car. Samantha fought against their grip, her wild eyes burning with rage."You think this is over?!" she screamed, twisting in the officer’s hold. "You think you’ve won, Sebastian?! You have no idea what’s coming!"Iris, on the other hand, didn’t say a word. She simply walked forward, her face blank. But I knew better.She was calculating.Planning.Waiting for the right moment.The officers shoved them into the car and s

Sebastian’s POVThe second I stepped into that place, I knew something was wrong.The air was damp, thick with the smell of dust and something metallic - blood. My fists clenched at my sides as my eyes swept across the dimly lit space. A warehouse. Abandoned, judging by the broken crates and rusted chains hanging from the ceiling. My pulse pounded in my ears, louder than my own footsteps as I moved forward.Natalie was here.She had to be.And if they had touched her -God help them.A low, taunting laugh echoed through the space. I froze.Then, a voice. Smooth. Cold. Familiar.“I was wondering when you’d get here.”I turned sharply, my muscles coiled, ready to strike. From the shadows, a figure stepped forward - Iris.She looked at me with suprise, arms folded, eyes gleaming with something dark. Like she had been expecting me. Like she was enjoying this.“Where is she?” My voice came o

The first thing I noticed was the cold.It wrapped around me, heavy and unforgiving. The air smelled damp, thick with dust and something metallic. My body ached, my head pounding like a hammer was inside it. When I tried to move, my arms wouldn’t even budge.Panic crawled up my throat.I forced my eyes open.Darkness.A single dim light flickered above, its glow barely reaching the corners of the room. The walls were made of concrete, cracked and stained with things I didn’t want to think about. My breath came out in short, shallow gasps, fogging up the cold air.I tried to move again, but something tugged at my wrists.Tied.My arms were pulled behind me, thick ropes digging into my skin. My ankles were bound too, tight enough that I could feel the circulation slowing.I swallowed hard. My mouth was dry, my throat sore.The last thing I remembered was answering Sebastian’s call. Then the door

The moment Natalie hung up, I was already moving.My car roared to life as I slammed my foot on the gas, gripping the wheel so hard that my knuckles turned white. The city lights blurred past me, streaks of yellow and red against the night. My mind raced faster than the car, faster than the panic crawling up my throat.What could possibly had gone wrong?Who was there?Did Samantha and Iris get to find where we stay? Shit.She had whispered, "They're here."Now, she wasn’t picking up.I dialed her number again. One ring. Two. Straight to voicemail.A curse slipped from my lips - fuck. I pressed harder on the gas, ignoring the honks of angry drivers as I weaved through traffic. The streets felt endless, stretching longer than they should, as if the universe was playing a cruel trick on me. But I kept going.The apartment we had rented came into view - a small, old building at the cor

Chapter 85 – Natalie’s POVI walked fast, my heartbeat pounding too loud in my ears. It was like my heart was screaming, "Be afraid! Be afraid!" The streetlights flickered above me, casting long, fearful shadows on the empty pavement. Every few seconds, I glanced nervously over my shoulder. He was still there. The man. The one who had been following me for the last ten minutes.At first, I thought it was just my imagination. But now, I was sure. He was following me. His slow steps matched mine, always keeping a distance. I couldn't see his face clearly, but his eyes seemed to gleam in the dark. My skin crawled with fear.So women weren't safe walking alone on the streets anymore?I quickened my pace, my breath catching in my throat. The streets were deserted, and the only sound was the echo of our footsteps. I felt trapped, alone, and scared. Why was he following me? What did he want?I took a sharp turn into a side alley, hoping to

I knew what I had to do. Sebastian had done his part. He had backed them into a corner. But it wasn’t over. There were still two people left. Iris and Samantha. They were careful. Too careful. But I had learned something important. Even the smartest people slip when they are afraid. I took a deep breath and checked my phone. Iris first. --- Iris I chose the café on purpose. Public. Bright. Safe. People talked here, laughed here. But behind the smiles and clinking cups, things could get ugly. Iris walked in exactly three minutes late. Always controlled. Always polished. She wore a beige blazer, matching heels, and sunglasses she didn’t need. She spotted me and walked over, her steps sharp. "Natalie," she greeted, sitting across from me. Her lips curled into a small, fake smile. "It’s been a while." I sipped my coffee. "It has." She

KYLE ~~ It definitely isn't everyday that you earn a lecture from Caius, and I've already gotten five of them this year. “You should have told me when you got the tip. What if you had gotten hurt? What if it was just a trap?” “I'm not a child Caius and you know that,” I snapped growing irritated, “so please stop treating me like one. I can make my own decisions without having to run to you every single time like a scared little cat.” “You are a target, we are all targets -” “The scientists are dead!” “And you think you do not have enemies anymore? You think, you really think that…we are all free from threats? Humans are greedy. If they ever find out about you, about the powers we all possess we will lose everything!” I clenched my fist although I saw the truth in what he was saying and despite my stubbornness, I understood his concerns. But that was really not the point and the fact that he was missing is what keeps grating on my nerves. “I found my mate Caius!” I said my vo

"Mother fucker!” Mother fucker, indeed.I dropped my arm immediately as I stared at Kyle, sheer horror gripping me.What does he mean by mate?Surely not what I think because - that cannot be. Maybe I heard him wrongly.I cannot, will not be mated to my foe.To my target.“So she really is your mate then?” The lady asked and Kyle just smiled with a shrug.“Can feel it in my head so yes, I believe she is.”“This is very interesting. How do you think Caius and Dahlia would react?”Kyle shrugged nonchalantly, “I have no idea but we will find out. I did not tell them about the anonymous tip - I just wanted to confirm first.”I had no idea what they were talking about and I couldn't ask.Hell I was too frozen by shock to even move an inch let alone say a word.“Let's go home first.”The lady nodded and went at the driver's speed. My head was still buzzing with a million questions as I felt the car moving away.I know what mating means. I have dedicated a fair portion of my life into resea

“What you are, Amara…what you have been trained for is total destruction. Be void of emotions other than anger and hatred because in them you can find the biggest source of inspiration and motivation. Do not forget your destiny.”“Why does this have to be done?” My cousin asked, rolling her eyes.I looked at her, shocked at the audacity behind her question. She should know better. She is as dedicated to this mission as I am, so why now?“Because,” Uncle Kiaz started patiently, “Those beings are evil and unnatural and we must cleanse the world of such evil. They should not be roaming freely with such power.”I nodded, and my cousin seemed satisfied with the answer. But for me the reason was way deeper than that.Has always been.This is my calling.This is my destiny, I have always known it, I have always felt it deep within my bones.Ever since I had to sit by and watch one of them murder my parents like they were nothing, I was convinced that I wanted nothing more, the way I desired
