LISA POV

"Run without looking back!" Sophia whispered to me through the hedge in the fence as she pushed me towards the forest outside the border.

I hesitated to go alone and tried to drag her to come along with me.

"Come with me, we can escape together. You don't like it here any more than I do," I said, pleading with her for the umpteenth time.

"No, it's fine," She said, shaking her head adamantly. "I need to cover up your tracks for some time so they won't find out you're gone quickly and come after you. Just don't forget me out there, Lisa. I'll miss you while you're gone," She said as she embraced me tightly.

"I won't, I'll miss you too," I said, basking in the familiar warmth of her hug as I fought to hold back my tears. I knew it was futile trying to get her to change her mind. Sophia could be stubborn like that.

I took a step back and studied her trying to imprint the features of my best friend in my mind one last time. Her auburn hair, piercing green eyes, porcelain skin and all.

"Now go," She said in a hurried tone, closing the patch in the fence expertly behind her.

Suddenly the security lights all came on, illuminating where I stood clearly, leaving me with scattered wits. I came to my senses as I heard the sound of running footsteps and realized what was happening.

"Oh no, I hope Sophia doesn't get caught sneaking back in," I said softly wishing against logic that that wasn't the case.

"What are you doing outside past the curfew time? Where is the prisoner?" I heard guards question her.

"Whoever it is would have been long gone by now," She said a bit loudly and I knew that she was saying it for my benefit. She somehow knew that I was still in earshot and she was warning me.

I ran through the dense forest, my heart pounding in my chest as I did so. I could hear the footsteps of my pursuers behind me, getting closer and closer. I knew I had to keep moving if I wanted to survive.

My heels dug into the dense earth, and with every contact I made with the floor, I gained more momentum. Behind me were elite guards, not giving it my all from the start would only lead to my capture. Success seemed bleak, but I was determined to survive.

Having spent most of my time locked up and under torture, the concept of pain have essentially become null to me. It didn't matter how many branches dug into the sole of my feet, I continued streaming further into the thickness of the forest. If I could beat them to the border, I'd become free.

A quick dive to the side saved me from being impaled by a spear. The dangerous weapon found its way into the trunk of a tree, and completely decimated it. One mistake and I would have ended up like that trunk. I thought that these men wanted me alive, but it was clear that they didn't care what condition I was in. As long as I was breathing, they were ready to tear away my limbs just to capture me.

More projectiles came soaring towards me, and I immediately realized that continuing this run on the floor was probably a bad idea. Not only was I wasting energy on healing my wounded legs, trying to evade these projectiles and focusing on the run was almost impossible.

Concluding that an aerial run would probably benefit me the most, I sunk my feet into earth. Straining my muscles, I took off the ground with enough force to leave a small crater behind. It was just as I'd expected, running atop the trees might be a little more difficult than running on the forest floor, but it had its own advantages.

I could see the entire topography of the area from up here, choosing an escape route and a short cut to the borders would be relatively easier than running on the floor where my vision was being hindered by trees and animals.

Although finding my way had become easier, the same could be said for my pursuers too, however launching spears at me had become nearly impossible. Getting a good throwing stance on the tree branches was a lot harder than on stable ground. And since there was no predicting what tree I'd hop onto next, getting a steady target had become arduous too.

I managed to solve a major problem, but at the same time had created another. Some of the pursuing vampires continued their chase on the forest floor where movement was a lot easier. At the rate they were moving, they'd probably catch up to me and get to the border before I do. I wanted to preserve energy as much as I could, but I couldn't risk them getting to the border before me.

With my claw, I tore up my wrist and allowed my blood to drop down on the leaves of every tree I landed on. This was a technique that was known only to elite guards, but I'd managed to learn it thanks to my intellectual capability.

"Blood technique..." I chanted, and the nearer soldiers heard me. It was my intention to speak to their hearing, that way their sudden reaction would throw those behind into confusion, thus breeding chaos amongst the group.

In one swift movement, the closer soldiers all leapt away in fear. They'd been following me tree to tree, the soles of their feet were already stained with my blood.

".... exploding blood!"

All it took was one explosion to trigger a chain reaction on the soldiers' bodies. One by one all the droplets of my blood that managed to make it to their body exploded with force strong enough to level a mansion. Without any intention of letting them escape so easily, I immediately prepared my next attack.

"Piercing blood!" I yelled out before releasing two arrows of blood at the disoriented soldiers.

Upon impact, the arrows detonated causing an even bigger explosion that sent shockwaves throughout the entire forest. Even as vampires, there was absolutely no way they wouldn't suffer severe casualties from those attacks.

Although the attack was aimed at debilitating my pursuers, that was not its only purpose. The explosion had caused a mass destruction of trees which had fallen to become hurdles for those pursuing me from below. It wouldn't do much, but it would definitely slow them down long enough for me to reach the borders before them, and that was exactly what happened.

Upon crossing the borders, I knew that vampires were no longer my problem, but an even greater foe, Werewolves. It didn't take long for them to sniff me out, and in less than ten minutes I was already being hunted down.

At least a dozen of them were after me, but out of the twelve, only one had taken me seriously enough to transform.

Like a tornado, it howled and screamed as it converged to form a massive forty meter tall wolf-like creature that bellowed into the heavens.

I wasn't armed, and that was a serious disadvantage when going up against Werewolves. Not only was I heavily fatigued, but I was vastly outnumbered and outclassed by my opponents.

"Capture the intruder!" One of the soldiers cried out, and I was immediately attacked by the closest wolf.

I leapt backwards in the same instant, successfully dodging a swipe that was meant to decapitate me. I'd almost forgotten just how potent werewolf venom was to vampires. One graze from its outrageously large claws, and I'd be dosed with enough venom to knock me out. Under normal circumstances, I might be able to decompose the toxin. But in my current condition, pulling that feat was nearly impossible. To survive, I would have to make sure I do not concede any blow.

We both glared at ourselves, sizing each other up and analyzing our strengths and weaknesses. I was faster, but aside from that, I had nothing against these monsters.

In a flash, it struck again, every attack aimed to kill or debilitate me in the worst manner possible.

Acting swiftly, I deflected the outstretched claw upwards and aimed a strike towards the wolf's unprotected side. The beast didn't attempt to dodge, instead it brought its second arm down at my neck, before sending me flying with a kick to the face.

I recovered from my flight fast enough to parry a blow that would've probably killed me. Steadying myself on the floor, I employed the use of my legs to send my oppressor a few meters away.

Annoyed that it had conceded a blow from a lowly vampire, the beast let out a reverberating growl before lifting its large paws above its head. It was a weird stance for a wolf, but I readied myself for the worst.

It slashed forward to release powerful blades of air capable of splitting the earth in two. The attack was unexpected, and its speed was beyond my expectation. At the last moment, I made a quick dive to evade the torrents of attack that came my way, however I was not fast enough. The hit connected and proceeded to claim my left limbs. It was hard to admit, but a part of me had wished I hadn't escaped. What was the use of escaping if I would die minutes later?

"Capture her now!" The voice from earlier announced, and the untransformed adversaries poured forward to carry out the order.

I didn't move, nor did I panic. I merely concentrated all my energy towards my injuries, and in the next second I managed to regrow his lost limbs. My intention had been to conserve enough energy in order to escape, but against monsters like these, trying to hold back was effectively a death sentence.

Against this many adversaries, winning was impossible, and escape seemed impossible as well. However, I wasn't prepared to just give up because my chances were low. If there's a one in a million chance that I might escape from these wolves, I'd try my luck on that one chance.

I made a quick dash for the space in-between the approaching crowd, but was quickly intercepted by a faster wolf. The momentum behind my speed had been too strong for me to make a quick retreat, and had caused me to fall into the hands of the enemy.

"Shit!" I exclaimed just before I felt a blow to the back of the neck. The illumination of the moonlight immediately became blurry, but I somehow managed to regain my composure. I tried making another attempt at escape, but a second blow had me on my knees, and a third blow knocked me unconscious.

    Jeremy's POVThe warmth of the jacuzzi and that of the three women in my arms kept the cold at bay. The music was loud, the crowd was lively, overall it was a good night. While I drowned myself with alcohol, I had beautiful women by my side to keep me from getting cold. I pulled the blonde by my left closer without warning, and she collapsed on my body, a maniacal smile plastered on her face. Her hard silicone breasts pressed hard against my chest while we graced each other with the softness of our lips. Twenty seconds later, she hopped off my body, and paved the way for her dark haired colleague. Purposefully, she circled my hips around mine. The warmth of my hard outline embraced the softness of her buttocks, and my hands folded around her heavy breasts roughly. She moaned gutturally into the depths of my mouth, her curved lips exhaling a testament to the overflowing passion and heat between us. Realizing that their colleague had spent more than twenty seconds on my body, the oth

  • An Alpha tryst with the vampire    Chapter 3

    Lisa's POVI struggled against my bonds as I was roughly dragged by one of the goons as we went to the palace. I couldn't believe that this was happening. I had been captured by the werewolves after all despite my best attempts. They had learnt their lessons the hard way so my hands were tied behind stopping me from using my powers to escape.They all must have looked an intimidating sight to anyone watching judging from their appearance. The sentinels around must have never heard of shirts as their upper bodies were bare leaving their well defined muscles to all and sundry. In a different world I would have swooned at the sight of all these hot male bodies around me.The brazen show of bodies was something that creatures like the vampires wouldn't do. They more much too noble and proud to behave barbaric. At least in public. When outside, their lords affected a gentlemanly air around them that could fool the unwary. I was pulled out of my thoughts roughly as I stumbled and fell on

  • An Alpha tryst with the vampire    Chapter 4

    Jeremy’s POVThe heavy iron door shut behind me with a bang as Lisa’s desperate cries echoed faintly as I swalked away from her cell. I ignored it as I couldn’t afford to let her words sway me.She was a vampire. A vampire. And not just any vampire—Lord Alireza Firouzja’s daughter. The implications of that alone were enough to make my wolf growl.Mate. My wolf had called her that, back in the woods when I’d pinned her against the tree, her scent—or lack thereof—flooding my senses. It didn’t make sense. She didn’t smell like a wolf and neither did she have the metallic smell of bloodlust that clung to vampires like a second skin. And yet, the pull was there. It was undeniable and it was tugging at me. I’d dismissed it as a mistake at first, some trick of the mind after a long night of hunting. But now, I wasn’t so sure.I emerged from the tunnel into the cool night air, the mist making for poor visibility. The trek back to the palace was short, but my thoughts made it feel endless. L

  • An Alpha tryst with the vampire    Chapter 5

    Lisa’s POV The walls of the cell were stone—cold, damp, and old enough to remember war. They didn’t creak like the rotted beams of my father’s dungeons; they were silent, oppressive. Unyielding. I’d been here less than a day, but time stretched thin in a place like this. No one talked about the amount of boredom that came with staying in a place like this. I felt like I was going insane by the hour. I sat on the narrow cot, legs folded beneath me, hands clasped tight in my lap. There was straw on the floor, clean enough, and a single tray of food had been slid through the iron bars earlier. I hadn’t touched it. Not because I was above eating their food, but because hunger felt distant—muted. Like everything else. I wasn’t sure what hurt more: being imprisoned by strangers or the way Jeremy had walked away from me. Mate. The word throbbed in my chest like a bruise. When he’d pinned me against that tree in the woods, I’d felt the pull too. Not just instinct. Not just fear. Something

    Jeremy’s POV The corridor outside Lisa’s cell was quiet, but not empty. As I rounded the corner, the scent hit me first—familiar, sharp, and wearing too much perfume. Skylar. She stepped out from the shadows like she’d been waiting all night. Her arms were crossed, expression tight with purpose. She’d always had that look when we were kids—when she’d caught me sneaking out or lying to the elders. But this wasn’t childhood anymore. “I heard you brought something back from the woods,” she said. I didn’t slow down. “It’s not your concern.” She kept pace beside me, boots echoing on stone. “A rogue witch is everyone’s concern. You’re breaking protocol.” “She’s not rogue.” “Oh, so she’s tame? Is that what you’re calling her now?” I stopped walking. She blinked at my sudden stillness, thrown off. I didn’t look at her. Just stared straight ahead, jaw tight. “She hasn’t hurt anyone,” I said. Skylar snorted. “Yet.” I turned to face her. “What do you want, Sky? She hesitated for hal

    Jeremy's POVThe knock came just after dawn.I was already up, pacing. Sleep hadn’t come—couldn’t, not with everything Skylar had said still clanging around in my skull like broken glass in a jar. I opened the door expecting Alex, maybe one of the night guards.It was Erin.She looked pale, nervous. “Alpha… you should check the cell.”I was moving before she finished the sentence.The corridor was colder than usual. Something in the air had shifted, something wrong. My boots echoed down the hallway like warning shots. When I reached the cell, Lisa was standing in the corner, tense, arms folded tightly across her chest. The tray of food lay overturned at her feet, its contents scattered.“What happened?” I asked.She didn’t look at me right away. “You tell me.”I glanced at the mess, then to her. “Did someone—”“Skylar,” she said. “She brought the food. It smelled… off.”I frowned. “Off how?”Lisa’s eyes narrowed. “Like nightshade. Or wolfsbane.”I stepped back, jaw tightening. “You su

    Jeremy's POV He pondered as he raised a brow in surprise. He tried again, this time holding his breath for good measure. Still, nothing changed. There was no warm tingling sensation just like he had always read.Damn.He opened his eyes with a scowl—or, at least, as much of a scowl as a newborn could manage.Alright, maybe I’m too young for this, he reasoned. Most magical prodigies in stories had some incredible awakening at birth or a special blessing. Maybe he was just… normal.The thought left a sour taste in his mouth.With a sigh—more of a soft exhale—he relaxed against the blankets. He’d try again later. For now, he’d have to wait until he grew a little more.***The years passed, and Lucian grew.By the time he was four, he had learned a great deal about his new family and their status.

    Amber's POV I struck the demon across the face, and in return, he turned the dungeon into my personal torture chamber. It had barely been a day since I was forced into his pack, and I already regretted every second of it.My back was still on fire from when Damon had slammed me onto the freezing ground over ten hours ago. No one had come near this place since then. The space was suffocating—barely enough for a dog, let alone a person. I shifted uncomfortably, trying to stretch, my eyes sore and swollen from crying.But crying had done me no favors. My arms throbbed with bruises, and the stench of this cell wrapped around me like a curse, suffocating me. I had no more tears left to shed. I wasn’t even sure I had the strength to speak anymore.I felt discarded, like something worthless. The weight in my chest crushed me, clawing at my insides. The dungeon reeked worse than I could have imagined. Every inch of my skin felt dry and irritated, and the lump in my throat refused to go away.

    Wesley's POV "Whatever. Sure, you would say that" I said in a doubtful tone." "Since you want Wesley that bad, you can have him"I stormed out of the house without waiting for her response. I felt heavy in my heart at what I had witnessed. "Stupid you" I kept on muttering to myself. This was part of the reason why I avoided relationships in general. Ever since my painful breakup with my first boyfriend, Tristan. I had altogether removed love from the picture whenever I was involved with someone. But like a dog, I had gone back to my vomit and was hurt again. It was all my fault for trusting him. "Suzy, are you alright" I looked up to see Marcus peering at me curiously. I had been so immersed in my thoughts that I hadn't noticed him on the road. "I'm alright" I said absentmindedly, holding back a sniffle. I didn't want to see or talk to anyone now because i might start crying. "No, you aren't. Walk with me" He said, holding out his hand. I was surprised at his friendly gesture.

    Dorian's POV“Dorian, what’s this I hear about an announcement? A relationship with an employee?”I noticed myself counting to five silently before saying anything. As irritating as it is, I am only human and have to factor in the fact that there is a hierarchy that needs to be followed.I completely focused on the task at hand instead of the condescending tone that had come across. “Yes, as I’ve responded to the query raised by the employees in the office, I had to make it very clear in order for everyone to be on the same page and not create tension within the workplace.”“While I get what you are trying to say, there are some ethical issues and the risk of conflicting interests. The board will need reassurances.”“There is no project for which I oversee that has Anna working under its scope,” I said in a more commanding voice. “I suppose it is needless to say that her achievements are enough to justify her and that she does not need to do anything further.”Once again there was sil

    Dorian's POV I stared uninterestedly at the runway as the plane shuddered to a stop, and the seatbelt sign dings off. I stood up, unbuckled and lurched forward, only to be stopped by the wall of bodies cramming the aisle and I was almost pushed over.I scowled deeply when people began yanking their bags from the overhead compartments like it was a race, the same way Americans did. It was everything different from what I thought Germany to be.Someone’s backpack swung dangerously close to my face and I ducked. I gripped the armrest, exhaling through my nose as I waited for the madness of the economy class to die down.I glanced at my phone—no signal yet. The flight attendant was smiling that tired, practiced smile, reminding us to be orderly. No one listened. The line inched forward, the guy ahead of me struggling with an overstuffed duffel. I shifted my weight impatiently, my carry-on wedged between my feet. The air was hotter and stuffier, like the plane itself was urging us to lea

    Dorian's POV That night, as soon as we were alone in the hotel room, words became unnecessary as we rushed at each other. The tension and the raw emotions that had been simmering beneath my skin all burst free the moment I kissed her. Anna melted into me, her fingers threading through my hair as if afraid I would disappear.I wasn’t sure if this was real or some cruel illusion, but I didn’t care. She was warm, solid, alive—and that was all that mattered.We spent the night tangled together, whispering each other’s names and relearning the feel of one another’s bodies. Every touch was urgent, every kiss desperate, as if making up for lost time. And when exhaustion finally claimed us, I held her close, unwilling to let go even in sleep.The next morning, sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains, casting golden patterns on the bed. Anna stirred beside me, her bare skin warm against mine. I watched her face for a moment, memorizing the peaceful rise and fall of her breathing, the way

  • An Alpha tryst with the vampire    chapter 18

    Anna's POV The shift in my colleagues' behaviour was subtle at first—a hesitant pause in conversations as I entered a room, awkward smiles where there used to be casual fun. By lunchtime, it was impossible to ignore. The whispers followed me, just out of earshot, and the knowing glances stung more than outright confrontation would have. It was Brenda who confirmed my suspicions with a strained attempt at small talk. “You know how offices are,” she said, her tone too casual. “People love a bit of gossip.” I managed a smile and nodded, but my appetite vanished. This was what I wanted to avoid. The hostility came from unexpected corners: a terse email from a colleague who usually flooded my inbox with jokes; a project lead suddenly too busy to review my contributions. Others were painfully polite, treating me like a fragile ornament they were afraid to break. Those ones I hated the most. Despite all this, I kept my focus on my work, determined not to let the unease get to me. But

    Sarah's POV Five hours later,I found myself seated at a long table filled with mouthwatering dishes ranging from savory meats to salads,potatoes and chicken soups. The best sets of china ceramic plates occupied the table covered with pure white linen clothing.I couldn't stop gazing at the beautifully adorned furnitures and wall paintings round the hall. It reminded me of home where I grew up in.Flowers were well decorated and curtains were weaved together suitably to fit in the designs of the house. I wondered where I was at the moment and reminisced back to the events of last night. Lycan Julius stayed behind to witness the unbinding ceremony of Alpha Jacob and I. At first,the council disagreed due to strict rules guiding the pack.

    Lydia's POV The rooms had been redecorated, the walls painted in lighter tones, the heavy, oppressive air of its previous life erased.Dorian had taken control of Freddie’s financial network, diverting assets, cutting ties with anyone who had been a liability. The wealth was staggering—far more than they could ever need. But it wasn’t about the money.

    Jeremy's POV The wind roared around me as the private jet touched down on a long, isolated runway. I had barely spoken since Viktor led me aboard. Part of me still couldn’t believe I had agreed to this. The USB drive he’d given me burned in my pocket, but I hadn’t dared to look at it. Not yet. Not until I knew exactly what I was stepping into.As the plane taxied to a stop, Viktor unbuckled his seatbelt and turned to me. “This is your last chance to turn back.”I met his gaze. “You and I both know that’s not an option.”His jaw tightened, but he said nothing. He stood and grabbed his coat, nodding for me to follow. The moment we stepped off the plane, a sleek black car was waiting for us, the driver already holding the door open.I slid into the backseat, my fingers curling into my lap as Viktor settled in beside me. The moment the door shut, the car moved forward, gliding through the night.The estate was massive. Iron gates loomed ahead, the emblem on them gleaming under the dim se
