~Regina~ “Sighs,” I said as I stepped out of the bathtub, feeling the steam billowing behind me, I wrapped my body in a white fluffy towel and my damp hair cascaded down my shoulders. I took a deep breath as I stared at the mirror drying my hair. Baggy circles underneath my eyes are visible enough to make me look old.My mind wandered to the time Mom had asked if Zayne and I would accompany Alfie to the vampire's pack. It came as a huge blow to me.At first, I thought she was joking, but then she had a serious face on when she said Alfie had come to terms with his daughter being a Vampire's mate. it was too real to be true and what stunned me more was when Zayne agreed to this without putting on a fight. It was hard for me to believe Zayne would agree despite his brutal accusation of me betraying the circle and him being Axel's No 1 hater. Mom had to remind him that we weren't going to go there to start a fight but to renew the treaty sign and ensure peace. He said he knows about
~Jessica~ “Don't you forget what to do tonight?” The black wizard reminded me again for the umpteenth time while I snickered.“You don't have to keep nagging. I know my job, now get out before I get pissed off,” I hissed. Even though I hate working with these people, they were the only ones who could help me achieve my goals. I know that the feeling is mutual, he also gets his shares from working on this.He wants the witch to himself while I want her out of here, if possible dead. She is a pain in my ass, so that isn't too much to ask. He scowled at me giving me the ‘don't you dare fuckin hurt her’ look. I rolled my eyes as I watched him leave, tch so annoying. ~~~ I took a deep relieving breath as I entered Tiffany's room, the maids were in the room preparing her for what's going to happen tomorrow which will eventually not take place as long as I lived.‘I have to do this because it would be in my favor.' I reminded myself as I fought hard not to use my claws on the maids and
~Zayne~ I stared at the unconscious brunette-haired witch, many thoughts ransacked my head but the one dominating was me wishing Tiffany and I could be in a different situation. It hurts me to see her being chained to a chair, but if this is what would make her go back to her senses then I have no choice but to do this. My mind wandered to the night I was proposed to this deal, I was in my studio painting aggressively as usual and there he came in out of the blues and unwelcomed. He says, “Tiffany needs to come home, if you love her enough to make her go back to her right senses then bring her back home before the next full moon.” It was crazy but I accepted because it was the right thing to do and I don't regret it. I jolted back into reality when she stirred, hearing her groan made my heart ache and I felt worried for her. I rushed to get a cup of water, “Tiffany,” I called, concern laced in my tone. “Zayne… Please help me,” Tiffany said immediately she found herself being
~Tiffany~ Darkness enveloped me, a deep unsettling void where time seemed to lose its meaning. I was floating in a sea of nothingness, unaware of where I was or how I got there. It was a disorienting sensation, like being adrift in a dream without a clear beginning or end. It was far different from what I'd seen when I was in my past. Then suddenly, I felt a sharp, jolting sensation– Cold water splashing over my body. It was a shock to my system, my senses screamed to life as the cold seeped into my skin jolting me awake. Gasping for air, I bolted upright, my heart racing in my chest. I blinked rapidly trying to shake off the remnants of unconsciousness into my head.“Ha, finally, you decided to be awake,” I heard the one familiar voice I wasn't expecting. It is too similar, I guess I'm still in a dream. I shook my head, trying to get back to reality. Probably because I felt my mind was messing with me because of what I had figured out earlier– I'm talking about Zayne. His bet
~Tiffany~“Now, where should I start from,” Dad smacked his lips as if he had forgotten where to start from. “Right, let me start from the gruesome part. The part where that Filthy blood-sucking animal came to claim your Mom, my Elisa as his Mate. That day, I had never felt this vengeful anger in me, your mom and I were playing in the garden with you, talking about how life in the future would be with you beside us. You were four then, our pretty little princess Hecate bestowed on us. I loved you even before I set my eyes on you, you made your mom happier, she smiled when you were in her stomach even though you made her weak, always sick. I could not bring myself to hate you because you made her happy and when she held you, my heart fluttered as tears of joy streamed down her face. I cried too because she cried. That's how much I loved your mom.”“All of a sudden he comes to our doorstep, snarling his teeth calling your Mom, My Elisa, his mate. I tried to fight him off, but you
~Axel~ 24 hours had passed and yet no news about my mate. Today is the day I was going to fully make her mine but then some bullshit psychos decided to enrage me.“Oh, my!” Maggie let out a cry which elicited a growl from my mouth, we were stuck at her place. She and Gina were trying their best to locate my mate and her fucked up Dad. He's been missing too since yesterday with that lowly Wizard.How can I make an exemption for him as a suspect?Damn, such a fucked up mistake. I should have not let him in.“What?” I sneered at her, of course, she wasn't at fault, but her son was the reason for all this.“Could someone please check the sky for me, tell me how dark it is. I need to confirm something first,” She said in a scary tone which still made me agitated, but Dexter went out to check.“Damn, it's really dark. Like Dark Dark, normal humans can't see at this rate and the moon is Dark, just the outline to know that it's the moon. Something like an eclipse,”“Oh, no!” Her lips tremble
~Maggie~ “You are a disappointment to the clan and I regret the day I gave birth to you,” My voice was low but loud enough for everyone outside to hear. I shook my head as I stared at Zayne, the boy who was once softhearted and cheerful turning out to be someone who I did not recognize.“I did it for us. You were not planning to do anything when the vampire kidnapped Tiffany and now that I did something you are disappointed in me, what a life,” He snorted, I could not hide my disbelief.He just didn't get what he did, he doesn't even know the consequences of his actions.I bet Alfie told him what he wanted to use Tiffany for.“You think you are helping, You are only doing it for your selfish reason. Also, go check and see what damage you've caused to Tiffany.” I did not want to speak much, I wanted him to see for himself what Alfie was doing to Tiffany. He rushed inside and we followed suit, Regina was torn and hurt. I understand her despair, I could feel it too.I bet she's alrea
~Axel~ The fight was such a bloody one, I had tried to reach up to my mate but that fucked up demon which escaped from hell and those bloody wendigos rushed at me. I had to fight them off, they weren't strong but their numbers helped a lot. When they all disappeared into thin air, I knew that the battle had ended. My mate had killed her father and she rose triumphantly in the air, I could feel how weak she was. I needed to get to her side before she collapsed, she landed in my arms when she fell. I panicked immediately and rushed out with her in my hands. I needed to take her to the pack ASAP, so Jackob could check what was wrong with her. I just hope it's nothing serious. ‘I will take care of the mess and the wizard,' Dexter mindlink to me but I ignored him. My focus was only on my mate and nothing else. When I got to the pack, I saw Dad and some elders there waiting, the anxiousness on his face was washed away, but I did not care.All I wanted was for my mate to be safe.I drop
~Tiffany~ I just didn't know how to feel right now with Zayne in front of me. He looked so not him and I could see he was ashamed to look back at me.Tension hangs in the air as I confront the aftermath of his betrayal. What he did hurt me? I felt betrayed but it wasn't as much as what I'd felt when I knew Dad was the mastermind of all this.Dad's dead but that doesn't mean my nightmares are spared. He still haunts me at night and I'm glad Axel is here to go through all this with me.When I heard Zayne was still alive and that he was in the dungeon, I felt scared remembering what he did to me and relieved he was still alive. Axel said it's better I dished out the punishment myself rather than him which I'm grateful for. Now that Zayne was in front of me, I certainly had no punishment for him. I knew why he did this even though it was selfish and stupid but it was a way for him to protect me or so he thought. I exhaled deeply, my lips pressed in a thin line before I opened my mo
~Axel~ It's been two weeks since the battle and my Mate has not woken up. I've been in the room all day, hoping she would at least blink her eyes or move any part of her body. The door opened and Father walked in, he's been the one handling pack issues. We haven't had the time to talk about what had happened before the battle or after. He deserves an apology for my uncalled attitude.“I'm sorry–” I paused my words before taking a deep breath.“I'm sorry for accusing you about the siragon. I was wrong and I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions without investigating,” I apologized, my gaze still focused on my mate.“It's not your fault. I was acting obsessively about the Siragon. Everyone thought my brother was the one who killed his mate but I didn't believe it. I knew something was off when that wizard came out alone with blood on his body, I should have investigated well then maybe this mess wouldn't have happened. Somehow I'm glad it did happen because you found your mate.”“Yeah,
