"The New Orleans vampire clan is gracing us with their presence." My father repeated before asking with an amused tone. "Hmm... What's the occasion?"Alpha Michael replied with a chuckle. "You'll find out once they arrive. But don't worry, the resident vampires of this city all abide by strict rules and don't mind mingling with other races."At that moment, I couldn't help thinking about Sylvain. If the guy truly was a vampire then could he possibly be attending this meeting? Crap, what could I possibly wear? What if I say or do something embarrassing or...?Hold up, why do I care so much?The mate bond! It had to be the stupid and confusing pull that I felt toward Sylvain. I knew the feeling of a mate bond all too well because I'd experienced it when I first met Orion. I couldn't be wrong but at the same time, I needed to be sure. Just then, a cough from Dad snapped me out of my thoughts. "Well, if you'll excuse me, I'll be immersing myself in your study room."Alpha Michael shook
I searched through the book but found nothing about having five inner wolves. Not even about having Two wolves. "I guess Dad was right about me being 'special.’" I muttered. Seeing as there was nothing else to find here and no other book I searched through had any information on my five-wolf nature, I sighed before searching for Dad. I found him sitting calmly on a chair on the small balcony of the study room, which had a high rail and a huge telescope pointed at the skies. He had his attention on a book and didn't notice me coming in until I coughed. He turned to face me with an arched eyebrow. "Oh, you're done already? Did you find what you were looking for?"I nodded lazily before yawning. "Gosh, I gotta go catch a quick nap. And also find what to wear before the arrival of those vampires." My tone ended up being more nervous than I Intended it to be at the end. My father placed a bookmark in his book, closed it, and then proceeded to focus fully on me. "Are you scared of meet
For some reason, seeing how close this mysterious new woman clung to Sylvain made my blood boil. Gods dammit, it wasn't just 'some reason '. It was the mate bond! How could Sylvain be so close to another woman when our mate bond existed?My grip on the railing of the stairs, which I currently stood on, tightened as I glared daggers at the pair. "Should I go confront them?" I muttered to myself while stealing glances once in a while from the corner of my eyes. However, a voice whispered into my ears just then. "Confront who?"I jolted in fright as I swerved back to see who it was. But to my disappointment, it was Orion, standing behind me with a cheesy grin. My brows creased as I grabbed his arm and pulled him to the side. "Do you want to cause a scene? What part of 'it's over' did you not understand?" I whispered while my gaze scanned through the hall nervously. Luckily I'd chosen to stand upstairs where I could get a better view of everyone. Just then, the music died down as Al
SYLVAIN***Lo' and behold, the mysterious young wolf from the mixed college, Aria, was the one who I'd almost hit. Out of nothing but sheer curiosity, I offered her a ride to her house. I wanted to use this time to know why I couldn't get into her head and most importantly... Why did she make me feel the way I felt? I hated the way I felt anytime I saw her. From the stupid sensation in my stomach to the annoying instinct to protect her no matter what. I hadn't felt this way about anyone for centuries, and rightfully so. Eventually, I dropped her off at her house, which turned out to be the Silver Moon Alpha's mansion. Interesting. Could she perhaps be related to the Silver Moon family?I watched her turn to face the compound but then squinted my eyes at a young black man with peculiar blue eyes standing in front of the mansion. The man had his gaze fixed on me, a suspicious glint flashing in his eyes. However, I gave him a teasing wink, causing his frown to deepen. I chuckled a
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
