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
I couldn't read the look in Orion's eyes but it wasn't warm. His gaze trailed my body possessively, making me even more sick in my stomach. "Let go of me, you cheat!" I snapped, yanking my wrist away from his grip. I growled, shining my teeth at him. If he doesn't get out of my way soon, they will become fangs, and I will use them. I didn't care if he was the Alpha's son or even the fucking president's son. However, my Alpha wolf whimpered inside me, trying to get me to calm down. 'Just hear him out.' she muttered softly, causing me to roll my eyes. She could speak to me but her voice wasn't very active in my head... Thank goodness. I couldn't imagine how other werewolves could manage to talk to their wolves like they were other personalities or something. Anyway, my eyes remained staring at Orion, my jaw clenching when he still held on to my wrist. But eventually, he loosened his grip, allowing me to easily slip my arm out of his. He scrunched his nose with an annoyed groan.
"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
