Hunter Kill! Kill! Kill! The voice in my head is constantly repeating this and I can’t find it in me to deny it. I slash through everyone that gets in my way, leaving only a pile of mutilated bodies behind me.Yet I can’t find it in me to feel bad.No one will stop me!Kill! Kill!Find! Find! FIND!!!Find what?SkyeI pace in front of the house, rocking Stephanie in my arms, while dad holds Adrian, feeding him a bottle of mom’s blood. We’re waiting for Alpha Leo; he called a while ago to announce that he’s coming here. Apparently mom contacted him and asked him to come, saying we’re in danger.But she didn’t say what kind of danger, so the whole pack is on edge. Alpha Leo’s instructions were clear: keep everyone in their houses and don’t even let the patrolling wolves out.I don’t like it.Something’s not right.Why would he want us to stay defenseless with the threat from rogues and Hunter gone?It means he knows something.“He’s here.” Dad says, just when a black car pulls up
SkyeAs soon as my teeth penetrate Hunter’s skin, something in him shifts. His hold on me tightens even more as he sinks his teeth into my neck, growling ferociously.“Mine!” He pulls away from my neck after a while, licking his lips slowly.“Yours, my love.” I give him a peck, delighted beyond belief when I see his eyes clear slightly.He tilts his head, seemingly confused, then pulls me in a deep kiss, not even minding his parents and my dad watching us. He uses one of his arms to keep me pressed against his chest and the other to cup my head as he devours me hungrily. I don’t mind his roughness, the happiness that surges through me right now over trumps any apprehension I felt before.“Mine. Only mine.” I pant heavily after we finally pull away, gazing into my mate’s clear red eyes.Red eyes?“Red?”“Yes, my love?” I lunge at him in pure euphoria, pressing kisses all over his face.“You’re back! You’re back! I love you! I love you! I love you!” I scream between the kisses, grasping
BrianLeo, Thea and I play with our grandkids by the lake. Adrian loves swimming and Leo was more than happy to swim with him. I keep Stephanie in my arms, letting her play with my fingers, sitting with Thea on the deck I built here years ago.“What’s going through your head? You’ve been lost in thought since that phone call.” Thea gives me an imploring look, making me sigh heavily.“Alpha King is coming here. – she visibly tenses at this – He… heard some things from a few alphas in the area.” I trail off unsurely.“What things?” She pushes.“Apparently, they reported to him that a rampant wolf is running around on a killing spree.”“Fuc-! Fudge!” She hisses, running her hand over her face. I would laugh at her attempt of stopping herself from cursing had it not been for the situation we’re in.“Do you know what they meant by it?” I inquire hesitantly, glancing at Leo and Adrian when I hear a happy shriek.“I told you that Hunter went berserk. I found the place where he was kept. It w
HunterSkye and I stay home with our children, just spending our time as family. But despite our peace, I’m anxious about the Alpha King coming here.Brian warned me about that, saying that the King is coming here because of me, since he got reports about my… killing spree.I’m not worried about me, since I’m ready to take any punishment for that, but… I don’t want to leave Skye and the kids alone. If the King decides that I deserve death for what I’ve done, then…I shake off the painful thought, concentrating on my kids and mate. We’re alone, since mom and dad went on a date and Brian is buried under paperwork in the office. I didn’t even ask him for help, he himself offered to do that, saying I need to get as much time with my family as I can. The latest events proved that future is unpredictable. Anything can happen.“Hunter, what’s wrong? You’re awfully quiet.” Skye worriedly asks, cupping my face.“I’m fine, my love. I was just lost in thought. – I kiss her nose – Nothing to worr
After millenia spent alone, Lorenzo craves for his mate more than ever. He meets a woman that he'd like to make his, even though she's not his mate.He's desperate to meet his destined one, but it's not easy. But what will happen when he finally meets her? What will happen when he realizes she's not what he expected? Will he still accept her? Will she accept him?
LorenzoI watch the fight in front of me with little interest; the two fighters have no potential and their mindless exchange of half-assed punches and kicks doesn’t amuse me.Usually, I like watching humans fight, but only when they show some real skill.Like her.Oh, how I miss my Ghost. She was a sight to behold.When I first saw her, I knew she’s not your average fighter. There was this air of confidence and authority she had around her whenever she stepped on the ring.I loved watching her. She was so strong, so ferocious, so unforgiving.Her being a gorgeous woman only added to her appeal.If only she was my mate. She would be an amazing Queen to rule by my side. But, she chose that human, Blake, to be with. I’d rather claim her myself, but if she’s happy with him, then I won’t interfere.I sigh tiredly, fed up with those idiots in the ring, and get up from my seat, heading to the office upstairs. I pass few ranked fighters dragging some tipsy girls into the private rooms, shaki
IvyI put my books in the locker, making a mental note to ask for notes from yesterday’s lectures from Lia. She’s a nice girl; I hope she won’t refuse. She’s the best student in our class and she always helps me when I can’t attend classes by giving me her notes.I wouldn’t go as far as calling her my friend, but I wish I could. She’s an amazing girl. Smart, strong, compassionate and beautiful. Not to mention, confident.I wish I had such confidence, but… I don’t, unfortunately. I’ve been a pushover my whole life; people walk over me like it’s nothing. I know I should change it, but how? How do I get over years of conditioning that my parents put me through? How do I stop being a goody-two-shoes all of a sudden?My parents molded me into this perfect little lady that listens to their all commands, doesn’t have her own mind and would never say ‘no’ to them.And it's all because I'm a politician’s daughter.I don't have a choice in anything. I can’t even wear t-shirts or pants, having o
IvyAs I copy the notes from Lia, I listen to my classical playlist to mute the sounds of Ally and her new guest. She keeps giggling as they talk between their make-out sessions. How is it that she has a different guy already? Doesn’t she have enough? What about her studies?After a while, I hear Ally moaning loudly and my cheeks turn red in embarrassment. Is she going to have… sex right now? Right behind me?! How shameless does one have to be to do that?!My phone pings with a new message, and I smile when I see it’s from Lia.‘I’m at your door, mind opening?’ At my door? Here? I shoot up from my chair, rushing to the entrance while avoiding looking at Ally and her friend. I do not want to see that!“Hey, girl. – Lia smiles, waving a McDonald’s bag at me – I brought dinner.”“What are you…” I trail off unsurely.“I thought you’d be lonely.” She smirks knowingly, nodding her head behind me. Oh god, she can see Ally from here!“Um…”“Come on, it’s AS MUCH YOUR ROOM AS IT’S HERS!!” She
Ivy It’s been a week since the battle against Cornelia, but we’re still dealing with its aftermath. Ren has been extremely busy managing the disappearances, having the biggest issue with none other than my ‘father’.I stayed right beside him as he talked to Cade about it.He told the warrior to fake a car accident in which my parents and I supposedly ‘died’. He said that since my ‘father’ was a public figure, his death had to be public, too. I wondered why I was supposed to die, too, but Ren said that it’s the safest way for me to stay with him without being bothered by paparazzi or anything. That way, no one will suspect anything about my immortality and I’ll be able to start my life with him and Wolfie.Cade contacted some man that specializes in special effect make-up for movies or something and said that he could make three mannequins to look
LorenzoAfter I took my sweet queen to our bedroom, we took a long shower together, washing away both the dirt we got on us and the worries that plagued our minds. The hot water helped my mate calm down and made her quite sleepy, which is why I wanted to put her to sleep.But all it got me was a harsh glare. Ivy did not like the idea of taking a nap. At all.It took all my willpower to not gather her in my arms and kissing her senseless at the sight of her adorable scowl. She’s so fucking cute when she’s angry!Since my sweet queen didn’t want to leave me, I’ve decided to take her with me to the clinic to check on the injured. It’s been an hour since they were brought to the infirmary and I’m worried about them.I’ve never seen Lia heal anyone, so who knows if she can save them…With Ivy’s hand in mine, I walk towards the clinic, throwing a furtive glance at The
IvyI stay in Ren’s arms as he hugs me on the roof, just taking in his soothing presence greedily. I had a suspicion that Cornelia could actually be my mother, but seeing it with my own eyes still hurt.Not to mention the Undead that kept a hold on me earlier.It was my dad.But he didn’t even acknowledge me as he held onto me.Neither of them did.Almost as if I was nothing but a speck of dust.On one hand I’m sad that I meant so little to them in the long run, but on the other… it gave me the closure I so desperately needed.Had my parents had any feelings for me, felt any remorse for trying to use me to bring Ren down, I would’ve thought about giving them a chance. But… since they didn’t do any of that, I don’t even feel bad about them dying.They deserved everything that happened to them.“My love, are you alright?” Re
Third Person POVChoose...Between Blake and Ivy.What kind of choice is that?“Come on, darling, don’t leave us hanging.” Cornelia taunts smugly, casually walking back and forth in front of her captives. As she passes by Blake, she gently caresses his face, making him recoil in disgust. “He’s handsome. It’s actually a pity to kill him…” She chuckles when Lia raises her gun again and points it at her.“Don’t you fucking put your hands on him.” The young human warns deadly, keeping her rifle pointed straight at the witch’s head.“Territorial, are we?”“Touch him again and you’ll see for yourself.”“Lia, calm down. It’s not just about Blake…” Lorenzo tries to pacify the young witch, absolutely terrified for his mate’s safety. One wrong move and his queen will die. Yet
Third Person POVThe King’s allies are waiting anxiously for their enemies to arrive. Aiden, Asher and their group of fifty warriors are in the back of the Alpha’s house, while Ivy, the Kingstons, the Deads and the remaining twenty warriors are in the front, right where an army of almost two hundred men is heading.The alliance has no idea what force they’re about to face, but they’re not worried. With four Undeads on their side, one of them being a hybrid, two snipers on the roof, one of them being a white witch that has acquired powers of her ancestor, and an immortal queen, they feel more powerful than a bunch of rogues and humans that are heading their way.Lia’s reveal about her identity has brought nothing but assurance for the wolves sent to aid the King in the war. They felt that the young girl was not an average human, but it was only after she informed them about her witch ancestry did they u
Third Person POV The war has officially begun when a rogue wolf attacked the house where the King and other alphas have been staying at. He stormed inside, intending to get to Lorenzo’s mate, but his ambush was quickly stopped when Thea got in his way.The Undead Luna immediately stopped the wolf and easily killed him, not even caring about getting any information from him.“Who the fuck was that?!” Lorenzo questions suspiciously, holding onto his mate in pure despair, shielding her from the scene in front of them.“A rogue. I heard him run here…” Thea snarls furiously, panting in anger as she stands over the dead body of the assailant.“Fuck!” The king yells, his voice mixing with his wolf’s as his blood boils in fury.“What’s going on?” The group is quickly joined by the human couple, both frantic with worry. Lia glances around the room
IvyThea’s sons are here? Really?And she’s not even worried?They are her kids!“Really? Those idiots.” Leo grumbles, turning off the stove before he marches to the front door.“Leo!” “Dad!” Thea and Hunter call out after him, following him outside. Ren doesn’t even hesitate and swiftly picks me up then leads me to the front porch, keeping my hand in his as we watch Leo berate his sons.“Are you out of your minds? Coming here when a war is coming? You don’t even have a proper training! How are you going to fight, huh?” Leo scolds his three sons, pacing anxiously in front them as they stand in one line with their heads down.“Dad… we just want to help.” One of them mutters quietly.“Help?! Liam! This is a full blown-out war, not some sparring session with the warriors!”“Leo, stop it
LorenzoAfter Lia revealed her powers and told us about her encounter with Thalia, she went to take a nap, saying that after spending decades with the ‘annoying witch’ she’s even more tired than earlier. As always, Blake joined her, so the only people left in the living room are the Kingstons, Ivy and me.I keep my little mate on my lap as she talks to Skye, playing with her long silky hair distractedly as I digest what Lia revealed.Cornelia is coming. She can control the water element. She has an army of Undeads that she most likely created with Ulrich’s blood. Ivy’s parents are not her parents. It’s quite likely that Cornelia is also Ivy’s mother, which makes all of this even more complicated. I don’t know how close my little queen is with her mother and how will she take her death.Because I don’t plan on sparing the witch. She’s going to die no matter what. I’m only wo
IvyHoly crap! Lia is literally the most mysterious person I’ve ever met! Just when I thought nothing could surprise me, something comes up.“Wait… if that Xan…, whatever her name is, was Thalia’s ancestor… then isn’t she also your ancestor?” I wonder out loud, getting a quiet sigh from Lia.“Yeah. – she breathes out – But that doesn’t mean I’m going to follow their plan to kill Lorenzo. I mean…Thalia said in my dream that it’s supposed to be my duty or whatever, but I think holding grudges for ten generations is just petty. Like, okay, I get being mad, but not for this long. Lorenzo may have killed Xanthe, but his action was justified in my opinion. Xanthe cursed his father with a beast and immortal life then split his soul into two. She deserved what she got, so telling her descendants, specifically those who share the
