"Seems like you got the chance to prove the facts that you were stating before," Arya said, taking a few steps backward and casually sitting on the side. "Let's see what you've got," she added, and I couldn't help but feel amused by her reaction. She didn't seem the least bit hesitant or nervous in this situation. "Anything specific you want, mah lady?" I teased her, glancing at the vampires, who seemed unhappy with our casual conversation. "No need to be that cocky. Do what is needed, and don't spill too much blood here. I plan to lie down here until sunrise," she said; though it was dark, I could still see that my "mah lady" had affected her. The vampires must have thought they had enough of our conversation because they didn't let me reply to Arya. All five of them launched themselves at me simultaneously. I grabbed the throats of the first two vampires that came towards me, but the other three took the opportunity. One of them punched me, another kicked my leg, causing me to fal
I took a couple of steps backward and relinquished complete control to Delcan. I could feel my body bulking up, my hands and feet transforming into claws, my mouth elongating into a snout, and my ears pointed upwards. Giving control to Delcan always feels the same, but even after all these years, I am still unable to become familiar with this sensation. Maybe it's because I'm not a werewolf but a lycan. "Holy fuck," I heard Arya's voice, but Delcan was too angry at the sight of vampires to pay attention to her. I did my best to prevent him from succumbing to his bloodlust. I could see surprise, disbelief, and fear reflected in the vampire's eyes, but I couldn't help them now. Neither Delcan nor I had left anyone alive who discovered our truth. Delcan seized the vampire closest to him, sinking his canines into the vampire's throat, tearing off a large chunk of flesh, and tossing the vampire aside to die. Delcan isn't normal, not even by Lycan standards. He possesses great speed, and a
"You can't barge into a girl's room like that," I snapped at him as soon as he entered the room, while I am still scared of his reaction when he sees Diego. He didn't say anything but narrowed his eyes. "Don't act too shocked, alright?" I finally gave up and decided to apply the 'make him understand' technique. "Who is he?" he asked me, and I gulped. Why am I worrying about this situation? It's not like it's my duty to keep his secret... argh... "Diego..... but you're not telling anyone," I said to him pointedly, and he frowned. "You're sleeping with your captive," he stated, and instantly I was confused. I looked behind and turned towards my bed where I found Diego lying on the bed, but the duvet was covering his whole body. The last time someone thought that I was sleeping with a guy didn't end up great. "Do I need to give you any clarification?" I asked him while coming in front of him so that his focus would be on me and not on Diego. This lycan is also stupid; he should have
He fell to his knees, and I instantly shouted, "Don't shoot!" I went towards Noah and pulled out the dart from his arm. When I saw that his skin started turning red instead of grey, I took a deep calming breath. They shot him with wolfsbane, not silver. If it were silver, it would be almost impossible to tackle the situation without giving him long-term issues. "Go inside," Noah said through clenched teeth, and I rolled my eyes at him. "I am a huntress, Noah. You're the one in danger, not me," I said to him, scanning the area. "Go inside," I instructed him, and about to head towards the woods when he grabbed my hand. "I can't let a captive of a pack run away under my guard," he said to me, and I huffed at the stubbornness of these wolves. "This is the Blue Moon pack, the land that belongs to the hidden alpha. Even we hunters think twice before planning anything against this pack. Don't give yourself this much authority here. The alpha knows everything that happens here," I told him
"Whoa," I stumbled backward and instantly felt Diego's tingly touch behind my back. His furry and huge hands were instantly around all three of our bodies. "Deeee," both girls shrieked. Though all the weight of the three of us was on Diego, I groaned as they squished me. They must have heard me because both girls moved away from me, and I took a few steps away from Diego. I looked at the girls and realized that they were the twin daughters of Luna Queen, Aria, and Bria. They had been smiling ear to ear at Diego before, but my presence seemed to have affected their shocked expressions. "Isn't she the same girl?" one of them said, and the other nodded. "Someone's coming," the same twin said, and both of them grabbed Diego's hands, pushed him inside his room, and closed the door behind them. Noah climbed upstairs slowly, and now he was clearly looking high. "You could at least wait for me," he said without looking, but when he looked in front, he rubbed his eyes. "Are there two more gi
“What?” I couldn't help but ask her again to make sure that what I heard was true. “If you are done with this captive game, can I go away?” she asked me again, and now I didn’t have the guts to face her. I turned towards the river and let go of her hand. “This is all becoming too much for me, and now I can’t even understand why I am actually here. If you want to kill me for torturing you, then kill me. If you think that I don’t deserve to die, then let me go from here,” she said to me, and though I could feel waves of emotions from her, I was still unable to find a way to tell her that I wanted her as my mate. “Is something or someone troubling you here?” I asked her when I didn’t have anything else to say. “I don’t remember having a proper bed, proper food, and the freedom to roam here and there, even when I was a huntress, Diego. The things you provided me for the last week are the things that no one provided me for free. Things are changing, and I want to be somewhere I can be at
One year later - Diego’s POV - I looked around the mess I had created a while ago and cursed under my breath. Two dead bodies of deer were lying near me, which automatically made me sigh in annoyance. I got up and started walking towards my home. "Come on, buddy, it was my new shirt," I complained to Delcan, who was still silent as always. I walked towards my house while being attentive enough to analyze the woods carefully. I could smell the scent of our warriors a few meters away from me, doing their night patrols. I could smell the scent of the woods, hear the lullaby of insects, and feel the wind doing its best to dry my blood-coated hair. Instead of taking the whole way to my home through the woods, I walked through the town. Usually, I'm not particularly eager to roam in the town in daylight, but the case is different at night. I like the feeling that the pack members are sleeping peacefully in their homes without any worries. I feel content knowing that they have unwavering
"Arya," I mumbled her name in disbelief. "I am in a club named 'Wildheart Hideout.' It is near your pack. I need help," she told me without waiting a single second, making my heart beat faster in anxiety and happiness. I instantly got up from the bed. I will not allow anything to happen to her. "I will be there in half an hour. Do you think you can handle the situation until then?" I asked her and jumped out of the window, running towards the woods. I have been to this club once when I was wandering around. It is a few miles away from our southern borders and doesn't fall within any pack's territory, but I do have spotted a couple of wolves from another pack there. "I am trying. Just be fast," she told me and was about to add something more when I heard disturbance and commotion from the other side, and the call got disconnected. I cursed under my breath and gave control to Delcan, who instantly crouched down on all fours and started running with insane speed. I couldn't believe sh
