"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
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
