~Tiffany~ “Denali-” my voice was hoarse as she sat beside me. Tears strolling down my face as I sniffle. Denali drew me closer to her like I was a child as I rested my head on her shoulders. She placed her hand gently on my back patting me.“It's okay Tiffany, AJ can be a dick-head at times,” she mumbled. I nodded my head vigorously, agreeing with her words.“I know right he…” I trailed off as I widened my eyes in shock. I raised my head abruptly as realization hit me hard to the core. How did she know that AJ was the reason why I was in this stupid mess?“Don't give me that look, Tiffany, I know that Vamp boy is your mate, right before I met you. And I also know about your nitty-kitty fights. Him pushing you away and stuff like that,” She imparted and my mouth dropped open.How come?“Am I that obvious?” I pouted.“Probably,” She shrugged.“But it's not fair- the way he treats me. Is he not feeling the mate bond?” I sulked with pursed lips and dropping my head back on her shoulders
~Tiffany~“How would you expect me to see you when you took an invisible potion,” He snickered, I could see that he really wanted me to leave immediately.“Of course you can, my scent has been lingering in this place even before you came here. I only took a pill to be invisible and not one to cover my scent so a normal vampire can be able to detect my scent even if they are far away.So Vamp boy why are you saying you can't sense my presence here?” I queried after my long explanation. I bet he has no words to say.“Well, my assumptions state that either you don't want to apply to the ‘stay away from me rule’ or- you wear something to block my scent just so you could get away from me without batting an eye,” He snickered, as he raised his head after listening to my words, he looks like a person trying to come up with his usual lame excuse.“I would go with the latter," I added.“What are you doing here? No one comes here apart from me,” He said, trying to change the topic. I smacked m
~Tiffany~”Surprised to see me in your room,” I smiled sheepishly as I sat on the desk facing AJ.“I knew you were going to come, but I never expected it to be this soon,” he replied truthfully as he dropped his school bag.I chuckled lightly, “There is no time on my side, so I have to start immediately,” I tell him, standing up from the desk and moving closer to his side. I held his hand and made him sit on the bed, now we were facing each other, a pillow separating us as we stared at each other.I pursed my lips, fidgeting with my hands, trying to maintain our gaze, “So now what?" He asked.“Let's start with knowing ourselves better, for instance, what does AJ stand for,” I raised my brows. I've been wanting to ask what those initials stand for and I'm glad I'm able to ask.“Axel, Axel Jaxon,” He responded coolly.“Hmm, Axel. Nice, I can call you that when we are alone, right or do you prefer Vamp boy,” I teased, playing along he said,“Anyone you like,” he replied, silence filled t
~Jessica~I sulked as I watched AJ leave my side without turning back. For 8 good years, I have been waiting for him to accept me and he did– last year. I was willing to wait till he's known my worth because AJ's been acting like a hard nut to crack. It was difficult for me but I didn't mind because I got him by my side at least. Lately, I haven't been able to keep my emotions in check so I use my dad as an excuse to meet him. Every time we meet he always gives me this cold shoulder, like he's already tired of me checking up on me and it bothered me a lot, and now this?I'm hurt!I felt devastated because I never expected him to be so fast-forward. Has he seen his mate?Hell, no!If he had I would have known, he would have brought her to the pack, The AJ I know doesn't waste time when it comes to things like this.Why then was he warning me in advance?Was she near? I scanned my surroundings as if his mate were there.If she was anywhere, she would be long gone before he sees her ag
~AJ~“I thought you were trying to win me over what's with you and the Wizard,” my cold voice filled the empty class as I watched my Mate leap up in fear. Holding her chest, she turned to face me,“AJ! You startled me,” she heaved a sigh of relief before checking around to see if someone was nearby.No one was-“I thought you said we should not meet in school?” She questioned looking scared, I fought hard not to pin her to the wall and teach her a quick lesson seeing as how she was avoiding my question.“I said, ‘You’, Not We, and- you haven't answered my question,” I sneered, my gaze sweeping down her body till it rested on her plum lips.Those rosebud sultry lips drawing me in for a kiss.She's tempting and alluring.A fucking distraction. “So this is how you want to play it, it's unfair-” She sulked and I swear I felt my dick bulge.I wanted to tell her to stop doing her face like that, it's adorable, but I held myself back.I wanted her to know how angry I was when I saw the both
~Zayne~“Hmm- Who are you staring at?" Gina whispered in my ear which got me startled.“Dammit Gina, Watda hell!” I half-yelled at her, dragging her away from where I was standing to the staircase not far away.“What! I caught you staring at Tiffany,” She had this defensive look on her face which made it look like I was the one at fault and she- the innocent one.“Look… I wasn't s-staring , I was just…” I trailed off not knowing what to say to defend myself. Gina is quite an annoying sister, what the hell was she looking for in the first place?“You like her,” It was more of a sentence than a question. My heart was beating fast and her expression wasn't helping at all.I thought I hid it so well, but there was no point denying it, Gina caught me.“Hmm-” Gina squeezes her face, don't even tell me she has a problem with it cause Tiffany is perfect for me.I'm sure she wants her in my life.“Since when?” She queried, Gina sounded like mom this time.“I don't know. I found myself getting
~Regina~“What's with a gloomy face? Did she turn you down?” I queried as I looked at my brother. I wasn't able to talk to him yesterday because he came home very late and I- woke up late this morning because someone wouldn't let me sleep.I probably shouldn't be talking about him, he's crazy and ill-mannered.I so-fucking hate him.So here we are at the cafeteria eating alone because Tiffany said she needed to do some school work before joining us.“I wasn't able to ask her out, there was no chance. We used the whole of the date to read books, more of me watching her while she reads, gawwwddd- G I feel fucked up.I tried to tell her, but whenever she looks at me, my heart leaped and then words run far away from me like I'm tongue-tied,” He complained bitterly. Zayne wasn't looking his usual self, in fact, I could see the dark circles underneath his eyes.I bet he didn't sleep last night cause he was probably thinking of how stupid he acted in front of her.Is that how love makes some
~Tiffany~“I warned you. I gave you a chance Tiffany to change my mind about giving this mate bond a chance. I told you that you can't be wooing me and at the same time be going after another man. If you want me to be yours, you have to be mine alone. I don't share what's mine, I told you, I warned you and so don't blame me when I say-” I shut him up with a peck on his lips.That was too fast but it worked at least he didn't say the word he wanted to say.He was stunned and caught completely off guard.He didn't say a word and I was scared.Is he going to get mad at me for pecking his lips?OMG!This was my first kiss and it turned out to be a peck.I squeezed my face in embarrassment, did I suck at it.Did I? I bit my lips trying to cover my already embarrassed face with my hair, but AJ stopped me in time, he raised my chin and cupped my cheeks before leaning in for a kiss. This wasn't how I pictured the kiss with him, this was ferocious yet demanding. The more he pulled my lower
~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,
~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
