In the blink of an eye, the night came and it was time for the silver moon pack's 'welcome ceremony '.I honestly didn't know what to think about a bunch of vampires and werewolves gathering together, but I trusted Lord Darius. Anyway, Ravenna and I left for the Alpha's mansion from my place through my car. The woman had her own car and house but still decided to use mine. Hmph... Always touching my stuff. We drove into the mansion but when I sniffed into the air, I realized that we were almost late. There were already vampires from our clan gathered inside."You just HAD to make a stop for that 'snack' didn't you?" I scolded Ravenna with a side eye after we stepped out and I closed the car door.She also got down, adjusting her black dress with a mischievous grin as she wiped off the little hint of blood on her lips. "You know me and my appetite. Besides, he was a cutie." She giggled like a little girl, giving me a wink afterward. I sighed and proceeded to move forward while my
It seemed Ravenna's words did the trick of snapping me out of my thoughts. I shook my head, arching my eyebrows. "What do you mean?" I asked out loud hesitantly. She sniggered in amusement, taking a sip from her bloody Mary with a mischievous smirk. However, she chose to speak next telepathically. 'I mean, it's obvious Sylvain. The way you always seem to talk about her and only her to me. The way you've been looking around ever since we got here, obviously in search of her.'She paused, slowly placing a palm on my chest. 'And then the way your heart beats whenever she's near.' her voice in my mind came as a whisper. I tried my best to remain composed even though I knew she was right. Damn it, Ravenna was always right when it came to these things. But what do I do? I turned my gaze to Aria just then but then frowned. She seemed to be talking to that boyfriend/mate of hers but something was wrong. The way they spoke was beyond tense. Meanwhile, Ravenna followed my gaze and whistl
Not anymore? Interesting. So I was right... There was trouble in paradise between those two. "Anyway, do you uhh... Did you have music back in your days?" Aria suddenly asked out of the blue. I squinted my eyes, a smirk creeping up my face in amusement. It seemed she found my facial expression funny as she chuckled. Eventually, I clarified. "Just because I'm a centuries-old vampire doesn't mean I lack taste, Miss. Aria."She arched an eyebrow with a teasing smile. "Miss? Oh, so now you're the one going to formalities?" She asked slyly.I'd never seen this side of her before. Could she be...?I sniffed around her curiously and realized that she wasn't under the influence of alcohol like I'd suspected. But I still had to ask. "Do you drink, Aria? Or have I made the grave mistake of speaking with a minor?" I glanced at her with the side of my eyes, while taking a sip from my bloody Mary. Her face reddened with a blush but she ended up answering eventually. "I... I've only drunk a f
"Okie dokie. I guess we could always plan a date. Hehe..." Aria blurted with a cheesy grin, giggling nervously. Okie dokie? I arched an eyebrow at her and thought she was going to say something else. But that was it. She quickly turned away from me and went back to the werewolf's side of the hall. I watched her move to a man with a short beard and brown hair like hers. Hmm... It seemed that was her father. Just when I was about to go find Ravenna, I was stunned momentarily when she tapped me on the shoulder from behind. "Did you enjoy your little dance with your little wolf?" She asked with a sly grin. I rolled my eyes but for some reason, a smirk broke across my face. I think I was beginning to like Aria. But why?After a while, I turned to face Ravenna and queried. "You've managed to have more interactions with witches than me. What do you think? Could Aria be a witch in disguise who's perhaps placed some sort of powerful love spell on me?"However, instead of replying to my
Thanks to our bond as sire and fledgling, I could sense Ravenna's fear through the telepathic link. I tried my best to keep my thoughts to myself, knowing that Lord Darius would easily be able to read them otherwise. After what felt like an eternity but was actually a few seconds or so, Lord Darius finally spoke up again in our heads. 'The werewolf girl, Aria. What's so special about her?' He asked bluntly. Drats, he knew exactly what he was doing! I struggled to keep my thoughts about Aria to myself, but unfortunately, Ravenna wasn't as strong-willed as I was. Soon enough, I spotted Lord Darius's brows creasing into a frown before he nodded his head. 'Interesting.' he remarked simply. At that same moment, he cut off the telepathic link and had a smile on his face. "Sylvain... We have a lot to discuss in my manor tonight. Don't be late." He sounded so calm and even gave me a light pat on the shoulder. However, behind that calm facade was a ruthless monster wh
ARIA***Thank goodness, Sylvain and Ravenna were just friends. They seemed so close together that I actually thought...Anyway, after a weird interaction, Ravenna gave me and Sylvain some space. And that's when things became interesting. We danced. We actually danced! I'd been so reluctant and nervous at first but Sylvain assured me that I'll be fine and I should just follow his lead. And I obeyed. Eventually, after minutes of dancing and attracting the curious gazes of several vampires and werewolves, we stopped.Suddenly, after I admitted how fun the dancing was, Sylvain blurted. "I'm glad you found it fun, my little wolf. We should do this more often." More often? Did he mean...?"Do what? Hang out?" I asked hesitantly. And his response was ‘yes’. I couldn't take it anymore and blushed in embarrassment. I ended up walking away, leaving him alone to go get some air or something. Good moon goddess, what a night it's been!I was about to sneak out through an exit when a voice c
My eyes lazily opened when the sound of my alarm blared into my ears. I groggily got up and turned it off before stretching. Gosh, why did I feel like I just woke up with a hangover? I didn't even drink anything last night... Not even water. I sighed as I got up and got out of my black dress. I wrapped a towel around my body and quickly hopped into the bathroom to have a very thorough bath.However, as soon as I turned off the shower and got out, a knock sounded at my door."Who's there? I'm coming!" I groaned as I hurriedly dried myself with my towel. To my annoyance, whoever it was that stood at the other side of my door kept on knocking, causing me to curse silently. Who could that be?After applying some lotion to my skin, I held on to my towel and rushed to the door. However, when I opened it, I almost slammed it at the same moment when I saw who it was. "What. The. Fuck?" I stressed each word as I eyed the guy, exasperated. "What do you want, Orion? This is quickly becomin
"So, girl tell me, how did that party at the Alpha's mansion go?" Elizabeth asked me immediately after her mother dropped us at school and drove off. The sound of the students, some gathered at different spots on the campus and others just walking like us, streamed into my ears, making me sigh at the surrealness. But anyway, back to Liz's question. “As I mentioned in the text, it was a welcome ceremony thrown by Alpha Michael to welcome back the New Orleans vampires. Several important werewolves of the pack attended as well."Suddenly, she grabbed my arm, forcing me to look at her. "Vampires and werewolves in the same room? Gosh, that sounds terrific." She shivered at the end. Yeah, no shit. "Anyway, it turns out Sylvain is a vampire after all. He also attended the party and let's just say... We had a really exciting night." My face heated up with a blush as I recalled the previous night. From the conversation with Sylvain to the dance... Everything was just too perfect to be tru
