~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,
~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
Warning/Must read: This is not your typical Vampire/witch novel. This is a YA teen fantasy and there are a few things you need to note to make you not confused. INSIGHT: 1) Our female lead here goes to the past unconsciously, to her it is a dream but it is actually her past. (P.S. like a dream but her spirit wanders into her past when she removes a necklace.) When you read you would know what necklace I'm talking about. 2) The siragon is from her past, so she knows everything about the FL's past. (As you read, you will know the creature I'm talking about.) 3) Further questions about any confusion chapter will be explained in that chapter. ~Tiffany~ “WELCOME TO BRYTIN” was clearly written on the signboard as we entered the town. A place I never imagined to come back to. Twelve good years and some things are still the same. The signboard especially. It's been tough for me particularly my dad because he had lost more than my mom. We left here for California to start a new life, whi
~Tiffany~“Heyyooo G,” A dark guy with curly brown hair with blue eyes greeted Gina, with a flirty smile and thumbs up.“Heyyy,“ Gina sneered as she pushed his hands away.“Don't tell me you are still angry about what happened yesterday, I already explained why I wasn't going to be around” he whined as he hit her shoulder, she pushed his hands away again, and threw him a stern look.“Yo, who's this hot chic G,” the guy said, now aware of my presence. He had this American accent that sounded sweet and unique. I liked the black American vibes he was giving out.Yeah, he looks cute and he also sounds cute.“No go area bro, she's my bestie,” Gina said.Right!Wait. Wait, did she just call me bestie?Ahhhh!, I am already doing my happy dance in my head right now, wow looking for actual friends but I ended up having a bestie like she's my real first bestie and I already like the fact that she acknowledges me. I feel so excited.“Alright, alright,” he said, raising his hands, surrendering t
~Tiffany~“See you after school!” Gina said as she went to her class. We had to separate because I had biology while she had geography. The class was filled up when I went in, there were two spaces one at the front and the other at the back where AJ was staying. Yes, I remembered his name, because it got stuck in my head, don't know why.Having some eye problem issue, I couldn't sit at the front, either I sat at the middle or back, but now I have no choice but to sit beside him. I walked to his side and dropped my bag. I was just going to sit beside him today and change my seat for the next class, that was it, nothing else. The biology teacher came in, she wore a fitted purple shirt on a black skirt, a biology textbook in her hand, and her glasses on as she looked sternly at all of us.“This would be your seat and the person beside you is your partner for the term” she announced adjusting her glasses, my eyes widened I was shocked. His pen dropped immediately.I faced him trying to
~Tiffany~ “Is anything the matter Tiffie,” Gina asked as she looked at me with concern, I guess I was so lost in my thought that I had not known I was bashing him loudly.“No, I'm fine, just a little bit upset” I answered but her eyes said otherwise.“Ok fine you got me, it's AJ” I confessed“AJ?” She gave me a questioning look“Yes, it's him, but it's not really much of a big deal. I have settled it” I tried to make her understand. “Oh! No, you can't say that, anything that has to do with AJ or any vampires or hybrid is a huge thing for us, he is a MONSTER OK and he is OUR ENEMY don't you forget that also tell me exactly what went wrong today” She prattled, of course, she feared that those bastard had done something to me, her bestie. I explained everything to Gina. She heaved a relieved sigh.“That's good, it's a good thing he's avoiding you, and that's what you guys would be doing during biology class till I find a way to get you out of that awkward situation” Gina muttered as s
~Tiffany~ [Late at night] I was going down the street to get some painkillers, my head's been banging and I really don't know why. Today seems off, I haven't seen my dad since morning, Gina and Zayne didn't come to school, even AJ and his squad were nowhere to be found.It's like they planned it.‘Was something going wrong or something had gone wrong?’ I could not help but ask myself these questions. Lost in my feeble thoughts, I heard a twig crack, my hands started shaking and an uneasy feeling crept over me. My hands do shake whenever I am in danger, I reached for the necklace around my neck, but it was gone.“Fuck! That necklace had kept me safe since when I was young, and now where did I keep it” I muttered, searching my pocket to see if I would find something useful or not. My legs kept thriving into the woods faster than I had imagined. It was as if some unseen force kept pushing me there.‘No-no, not here’ I whimpered.‘This is not where you are meant to go,’ panic hit my che
~Tiffany~ “You got marked!” Gina flared up as her fluffy eyes widened. “Are you sure that the creature did this to you or a vampire did?” She queried moving closer to get a clearer view of the mark.“I honestly don't know, I am so- confused right now, I don't know, I- just-” my shoulder slumped off as I admitted dejectedly trailing off. I rummaged my brain again to remember whether the creature did this to me or someone else did.“Let’s say that creature really did capture you, how on earth did you get home?” Gina's question baffled me, but still, I had no answer to give and this is so irksome.“I don't know Gina, woke up to see myself on the bed,” I ruffled my hair, looking so maddening.“We need to tell your dad or my mom, an adult needs to know about this,” she suggested but I shook my head.“Hell no! What if it was actually a vampire bite, this would cause an uproar and those poor humans would be the ones to suffer for it,” I blurted out, the last thing I want is people's heads

~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
~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~ 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
~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
~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
~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
~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
