ARIA***"Are you shy? This isn't our first time, you know?" Orion, my boyfriend, and mate, whispered teasingly into my ears as he grabbed my waist with both hands.My cheeks heated up as I struggled to keep eye contact and not make this awkward.We'd both snuck out of family dinner to have some fun in my room. No, it's probably not what you're thinking. My father and I had moved into Orion's house a month earlier, after my eighteenth birthday. After... The incident.Anyway, my room was lit up with a calm blue light, and I had a decently large bed with a fluffy white duvet. Orion and I had been kissing when he suddenly wanted to take things further."B–but I'm not ready yet," I muttered softly as I tried breaking away from Orion's hold to no avail. His clear blue eyes stared deep into mine and I could see the longing in them. His throat bulged as he swallowed saliva while trying to hold in his desires.A smirk crept up his lips as he whispered. "We've done it once, don't you think it
The next morning, I had a quick bath but took my time picking something to wear. I ended up wearing a form-fitting black trouser and a denim jacket over a white T-shirt. After taking one last look at my reflection in the mirror, I rushed outside to go have breakfast downstairs. A few maids, all werewolves, curtsied when I walked past them... Something I still hadn't gotten used to even after a month of getting here. Being the mate of the Alpha's son did have its perks. When I got downstairs, I met Dad having breakfast at the dining table alongside Orion's father, Alpha Michael, and his mother, Luna Laria. My father, who had a well-trimmed beard, was the first to notice my presence and raised his head. "Ah, Aria." A warm smile stretched across his face as his gaze softened. "Good morning, darling. How was your night?" I smiled sheepishly before responding. "Good morning, Dad. My night was..." I paused, remembering the embarrassing incident with Orion. Ugh, someone bury me r
Whoever this mysterious guy was, his eyes were one of the most beautiful I've seen in my life. Scratch that, they were the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen!His eyes were deep golden and seemed like they were staring into my soul. When his gaze fleeted to meet mine, time stopped. I couldn't hear anything except for my own heart beat which increased under his gaze. To make things worse, for the first time in forever, my Nightshade wolf reacted. She howled as if trying to tell me something. Luckily, no one other than myself could hear her howls, but it was still embarrassing nonetheless. Why was she acting this way because of this random guy?Nightshade had never shown any interest in a man ever since my other wolves awakened. All she cared about was keeping me awake at night... Until now."Pardon, did you want to read this?" The mysterious man spoke with a deep voice that threatened to sweep me off my feet. Sweet mother of everything unholy!He had this soft smile on his face as
"Anyway, girl, we gotta go for that General Biology class. I don't want to be late." Elizabeth stood up and started packing her bag all of a sudden.I arched an eyebrow at her. "Late? We still have like... Ten minutes left." I protested.She ignored my remark and simply blurted. "Ten minutes which I don't want to spend gossiping about your mysterious new crush. Come on, let's go." My face heated up with a blush. Rude!I got up when it was obvious that Elizabeth would leave me behind without looking back. I followed grumpily beside her as I finally let myself stop thinking about Sylvain. ..General biology class proved to be longer than I expected. I sat beside Elizabeth in the large hall and occasionally glanced around. Orion was missing. After the class was over I stood up and voiced my concern to Elizabeth. "Orion didn't attend General Biology lectures today," I muttered as Liz jotted down something in a notebook. She raised her head to glance at me for merely a few seconds b
With each thrust Orion made into the girl, I felt my chest tighten more and more. The two idiots were so lost in their sinful moment that they didn't even notice my presence.The disgusting smell of their pheromones filled the air, only adding to my sorrows. But soon, that sorrow morphed into rage. "Orion!" I screamed as I waltzed toward them. The two of them jolted just then and tried adjusting their clothing, but it was too late for them anyway. I grabbed the broken leg of a wooden table and charged at Orion and the bitch he was screwing. Meanwhile, my incompetent mate waved his hand in front of his face. "A–Aria, let me explain. I... I didn't –""Save it for your mother, you sick bastard!" I screeched before raising the stick. With a swift swing, I broke the table leg on his butt, causing him to yelp in pain. But I ignored that before turning my gaze to the girl. She wore a short dress and had blonde hair that looked like it was natural. Everyone knew her. "Cassandra!" I gri
SYLVAIN***"New Orleans?" I repeated after raising my eyes away from the letter Ravenna, my confidant and only friend, dropped on the table. We were seated in a dimly lit room, which was also my office and meeting room. Ravenna, who had long, straight black hair, snow-white skin, and lips redder than blood, placed her palms on the table from across the other chair where she sat. She wore a black tight dress that emphasized her curves and reached her knees. "Yes, Lord Darius has a deal to seal with the resident werewolf Alpha there," Ravenna spoke in a silvery tone before smirking. "Come on, Sylvain. It's been a while since we went home. I miss New Orleans and we can't ignore Lord Darius's orders now, can we?"I sighed, resting my back on the chair I sat on. For decades I and Ravenna had been exploring the world, keeping our distance away from New Orleans and the clan. Most resident vampires of the New Orleans clan made it a habit to move from town to town or city to city once eve
Monday came faster than I'd anticipated. And with it meant the first day of school.When I stepped foot into the campus, I was hit with the nauseous stench of werewolves and the delicious scent of humans and witches. It's been a while since I fed. Seeing all these youths—full of life and vitality—gathered around made my cravings spike up. Perhaps I'll find a human to snack on without killing them later. I looked around aimlessly until I had no choice but to ask a human girl for directions. "Excuse me, miss?" I spoke with the kindest voice I could muster, wearing a smile. The girl was sitting alone on a bench and turned her gaze to me. However, her eyes softened and she soon had the same look that I saw in most human girls and even some guys whenever I spoke to them. Desire..."Uh... Hi. I'm... I'm... How may I help you?" She stuttered, her face reddening as she fixed her gaze on my eyes. I smirked, deciding to have a little fun by teasing her. "Sorry to disturb you, dear. I was
ARIA *** Was this some kind of joke? Sylvain, the mysterious new guy from school, was the one who stepped down from the car. He wore a black jacket over a black T-shirt and black jean pants. He had a necklace on his neck shaped like a crescent moon, which I hadn't noticed the first time we met. "Don't you know you have to be more careful when walking on the road?" He suddenly asked, snapping me out of my trance. I blinked awkwardly before turning my gaze to his eyes. He looked at me with an odd mix of amusement and curiosity. My face heated up with embarrassment but I still managed to speak up. "And don't you know speeding on the road can get you in prison?" Sylvain arched an eyebrow and scoffed as he stepped closer to me. I wanted to step back, I wanted to turn away and run the heck out of there because of the growing embarrassment I felt. But I didn't. Instead, I stood there like a statue as Sylvain finally got to me. He stood tall, gazing down at me with an expressio
ARIA ****Sylvain Blackthorn had some serious guts, I'd give him that! I can't believe I confronted him in PUBLIC and then let him drive me home only to listen to him whine about another girl. Worst of all, now I had a better understanding of his beef with Sir Nikolaus. The dude was pure evil!And what the heck was Ravenna doing in his house? I'd always suspected their relationship but he'd assured me nothing was going on between them beyond the platonic. If that was the case, what secrets did he have to share with her that he had to resort to telepathy to do so? "If he wasn't so sneaky, maybe I wouldn't be so suspicious of him." I scoffed as I walked home. Yup... Sylvain had watched me storm out of his house in anger and did nothing. And now I had to walk back home and it looked like it was about to rain too. The clouds were dark and everyone on the road seemed to be in a hurry. Suddenly, my nightshade wolf spoke up with her usual soulless and melancholic voice in my head. "D
"This better be good, Ravenna," I grumbled, turning my gaze away from the door and heading to the kitchen.The sound of her stiletto heels clicking on the floor echoed around the room as she followed behind me. "Well, Sylvain. It depends on your definition of 'good'." She remarked, chuckling with a teasing tone.I paused, swerving my head to her, my expression blank. That was enough to tell her I wasn't in the mood for her antics, causing her to sigh. "Nikolaus got away. I lost track of him." She muttered with an embarrassed tone.Ravenna was known as one of the best vampire trackers in our coven. Back in London, when there was a rampant issue of vampires from Lord Darius's line turning people carelessly, she'd been of great help fishing them out. But unfortunately, Nikolaus's hiding skills far outmatched her tracking skills, not to mention he was more powerful than her. Anyway, I brought out a bottle of Bloody Mary from a cabinet and poured myself a glass. I gulped it all, breat
I stared at Aria in surprise at first before I asked hesitantly. "Why? Do you need something there, or...""Seriously, Sylvain?" She threw her hands in frustration. "For Christ's sake, you're my boyfriend! I haven't been to your place and barely know anything about you ever since we started dating."Dating? Was I sure I'd like to call what I had with her "dating"?“Never mind." She sighed. "I guess I'll–""Wait!" I called her back before she could step out of the car. She glanced at me, arching an eyebrow. "I'll take you to my place, then. But does your father know?"She blinked with what seemed like a surprised look at first before shrugging. "I'm an adult. I'm sure he'll be cool if I go somewhere else other than school and this boring house." I glanced hesitantly at the Alpha's mansion, which loomed like a mountain beside us. With a shrug, I started the ignition and drove to my house. Once we got there and stepped out of the car, I suddenly got a telepathic message from Ravenna.
I watched Maria's facial expression change from surprise to excitement within a couple of seconds as a warm smile spread on her face. "S– Sir Sylvain." She bowed slightly, still managing to keep her gaze on me. "It's so nice seeing you again." I smiled politely. "The feeling is mutual, Maria. I'm glad to see you're doing okay after that unsightly incident earlier today." Her smile widened, and she just stood there staring, neither moving nor speaking. However, she flinched when Ravenna cleared her throat. "Uh, our drinks please." She waved at Maria with a teasing tone, occasionally glancing at me as she leaned forward to grab the drinks. Now why was she giving me that look? Maria gave an awkward smile and dropped the drinks. She was about to walk away when Nikolaus suddenly called her back. "So, you're the niece Dorothy was talking about?" He asked with a curious gaze. I knew that look all too well. Nikolaus was shameless when it came to his pursuit of women. Every
FLASHBACK 1816, England.On a cold winter night, on the roads of England, Nikolaus, Ravenna, and I walked through the streets like we owned the place. In a way, we did. Vampire supremacy in this part of Europe was unlike any other part of the world. No other supernatural races dared challenge our authority and allowed us to do our business in peace.Not even the resident werewolf pack stood a chance.Anyway, the three of us stepped into a nearby tavern and immediately got welcomed by the stench of rum and the sweaty bodies of tens of men, all drinking and laughing like there was no tomorrow. With the drought going around the country and most of Europe, it was a surprise that these people could still be so merry."Bartender," Nikolaus walked straight to the counter where a female bartender stood. "Get us your finest cups of... The usual."The female bartender raised her head the second those words came out of Nikolaus's mouth. The 'usual' he was talking about was nothing other than
SYLVAIN ****As I walked toward my car on campus grounds, I kept getting bombarded with messages from Aria. I tried my best to ignore them, opening the car door and stepping in. However, before I could start the ignition, I raised my head and was shocked to see Aria sprinting toward the pickup zone."Sylvain! Sylvain, wait." Her voice was filled with desperation as she ran toward me, ignoring the curious stares she got from onlookers.I gritted my teeth, torn on what to do. As much as I wanted nothing more than to step out of this car and embrace Aria, this was for her own good.Not only was I getting too attached, but I was getting overly emotional. A vampire unable to control his emotions was a time bomb waiting to explode.Closing my eyes and diverting my gaze from Aria, I started the car and was about to drive off. Suddenly, I heard a bump on the car, forcing me to raise my head only to see Aria already standing in front of the car, using her hands to hold it from moving forwar
"Well? Don't keep me in suspense, what is it?" Elizabeth asked with furrowed brows, grabbing my arm and leading me toward our first lecture for the day. As we walked through the hallway, we got a few curious stares which I tried hard to ignore. Gosh, when would people learn to mind their business?Anyway, I let Elizabeth in on the plan. "Well, Sylvain is a vampire with super hearing, probably beyond the limits of even a werewolf. So, I was thinking, maybe we should talk about sketchy things like the Demon and see if he'd try listening in."Suddenly, Elizabeth paused in her steps, also forcing me to pause with her. She rubbed the bridge of her nose, an exasperated sigh escaping her lips. "That's it? That's your 'grand plan'?" She nearly hollered. I arched an eyebrow, genuinely confused about why she was tweaking. It was a simple plan and quite effective if you ask me.I mean, what business would Sylvain have spying on me and Elizabeth's conversation if he didn't have some hidden age
"Aria? Aria are you there?" Elizabeth hollered impatiently from the other end, groaning for dramatic effect.I opened my mouth, unsure of what to say as I touched my underwear again. Yup, I was right, that was my cum.This means... That dream was real! It was beyond anything I'd ever experienced, that's for sure, but I thought whatever I did wouldn't mean anything because it was a dream.Eventually, I got up from my bed and finally responded to Elizabeth. "Sorry, Liz, I have to go now. We'll talk in school, okay?" Elizabeth was about to say something on the other end, but I hung up and threw my phone on the bed before rushing to the bathroom. I needed to clean myself of Azazel's freakiness on my body. When I got to the bathroom and stood in front of the sink to rinse my face, I raised my head, staring into the mirror on the wall with sleepy eyes. However, I jolted in shock when a shadow appeared behind me in my reflection. "Who's there?" I swerved my head backward to get a look bu
I gripped Azazel's head as he continued sucking on my nipples. He used his tongue to trace circles around my nipples, causing me to get wet.My grip on his head tightened as the feeling reached a peak, making me feel like I was levitating. My eyes rolled back as I let myself get carried away.Suddenly, Azazel dropped me, forcing me to open my eyes again. Luckily, a bed materialized out of nowhere which I landed on. "Beg me to stop." Azazel teased with a smug grin.My lips curled into a grin as well as I whispered. "Now why the heck would I want to do that?" His grin only widened as he crawled toward me on the bed. When he got to me, he brought his fingers to my entrance, and without any warning, he began rubbing my clit. I gasped with each movement he made on my clitoris with his fingers. My wetness increased by the minute until I thought his fingers should be soaked with my essence by now.Several times, I felt like I was getting close to the edge, but each time, Azazel would brin
