When Orion finally made his way through the crowd and got to the scene, he only stood to watch me for a few seconds before going to Cassandra's side and helping her up.She groaned, pointing a finger at me with a maniacal glare. "That little bitch assaulted me! We should have her arrested." She snarled.Sylvain held me close, preventing me from making a move. However, Elizabeth stepped forward just then, pointing her finger at Cassandra."You assaulted her first and everyone here can be a witness to that. What Aria did was just self-defense." She said with a shrug, turning her gaze to me and giving me a wink.A smile curled up my lips. I could always trust her to be at my side.Meanwhile, Cassandra seemed to have become speechless due to Elizabeth's words. She stuttered, her gaze fleeting from Sylvain and me to Orion repeatedly."Baby… baby, do something." She drawled, wrapping her hands around his arms. Seeing that made my blood boil, and my Alpha wolf growled as I glared at Orion.
The Deans were dismissed by the Chancellor, leaving the rest of us in her office."So, who instigated this little fight of yours?" She asked, her sharp gaze scanning through all our faces. It was amazing how a human could instill so much dominance.Suddenly, Elizabeth stepped forward. "Aunt L–" However, she was cut short by the Chancellor. "Young lady, it's Chancellor Lauretta once we're in these school's walls. You being my niece isn't going to save your ass."Oh, snap! Aunt?I turned my gaze to Elizabeth, shocked. Lauretta and her didn't look related at all. When Elizabeth realized my curious gaze, she sighed. "The Chancellor is an aunt of mine. My grandmother's sister, actually." She whispered.Meanwhile, Cassandra stepped forward and began hollering like a mad dog. "Chancellor Lauretta, it was all her fault." She pointed at me. "She's the one who started the whole thing."My brows creased into a frown. I'd let this bitch rub my name in the mud long enough."You're nothing but a
After school that day, I was driven home by Sylvain. Elizabeth's mother had been the one to drive me to school this morning, but my 'vampire knight'—as Elizabeth called him— decided to take me back home himself. Once we'd gotten out of the school and onto the road, Sylvain glanced at me and asked. "So... You never told me about why you and that mate of yours broke up in the first place." My heart clenched just then. I turned my gaze to him, smiling awkwardly."It's fine, Sylvain. We don't have to talk about –" I was about to wave the issue away but he interrupted me."But I want to talk about it." He paused, swerving his head to me until all I could look at was his deep golden eyes. "He's your mate, after all. And while I may not relate to the complexities of your race's relationship dynamics, I can say that you and I are at least..."Once again, he paused, placing his gaze back on the road and squinting his eyes as if he were thinking of something. But after a while, he continued.
"Stop with the unnecessary flattering." I gushed as I got closer. I'd worn a form-fitting, handless satin red gown that hugged my body. It was tight, but I wanted to look 'hot' for my birthday. Besides, Dad said I could wear anything I wanted today. Anyway, I grabbed Carlos by the wrist and dragged him away from his gathering of friends after saying hi to them."Hey, what gives?" He grumbled as soon as I got him to the center of the dance floor. "Have you seen my Dad?" I asked, glancing around. "He's supposed to be here, obviously and it's almost time for his speech."My father had promised to give a speech tonight, much to my dismay. But now I couldn't find him and the party was already getting heated.Anyway, Carlos shrugged. "I haven't seen him since lunch at your place this afternoon." He yelled through the music before pausing. He began bobbing his head to the music playing and screeched. "Gosh, they're playing Chappell Roan's 'Good Luck, Babe." I listened and in fact, that w
During my distress, Alpha Dromos's words were barely audible, and soon, everything spaced out until my vision was taken to a dark space.I looked around, terrified. One second, I was in the event hall where my birthday was taking place, and now I was in this dark space out of nowhere.Before I could talk or even make a step to move, I heard a howl behind me.My muscles froze, as I slowly turned back. Right there behind me, in the dark space, stood four wolves. They all had their gazes on me, scrutinizing me silently.However, it didn't take me long to know who these wolves were. They were my inner wolves, a representation of my werewolf side. And standing in front of them was my 'Alpha wolf' who'd been communicating with me since I was little."Alpha." I ran to her, sighing with relief. "Where are we?"My Alpha wolf had light golden fur, which was something unique on its own. Her fur flowed into the imaginary wind in the dark space, her sharp blue eyes fixed on me.Apart from my Alpha
My perception of the world shifted drastically as my gaze fleeted erratically through the faces of everyone present.They all looked frightened by me, shifting backward whenever my gaze landed on any of them.'I don't want to... Hurt them.' I thought to myself as I turned my head to my uncle, who stood stunned in the makeshift stage.Hurriedly, I brought my gaze to my feet and realized what the crowd was talking about. My wolf feet were covered in crimson-red fur that looked like blood.It was then that I knew which of my wolves I'd shifted into.'N– Nightshade?' I muttered inside my head. However, my moment of epiphany was cut short when another round of pain assaulted my body. Another of my wolves was struggling to come out, making my movement sluggish.Just then, the guards that my uncle had sent to me started appearing all around me. They all wore traditional silver-plated armor and had solemn and cautious looks on their faces."We have to neutralize her before she goes feral." O
As more and more guards began gathering around us, my Mystik wolf finally made a move and sprinted forward. We were moving at a speed that stunned everyone present, leaving them in the dust. As I ran out of Alpha Dromos mansion and sprinted outside, I searched the pack for my Dad. I was beginning to get worried that something happened to him but I didn't lose hope and eventually went to our house.However, as soon as I got to the front door of our duplex, a sharp pain spread around my body, causing me to trip and fall. Soon enough, I began jerking uncontrollably and began shifting. Eventually, I transformed back into my human form, but my body still spasmed uncontrollably. It was dark and our house was surrounded by a thick foliage of plants and trees that placed an eerie shadow over the building."Aria?" A voice suddenly called from behind me, causing my heart to jump into my throat. But then I paused when I began recognizing the voice."Dad?" I slowly sat up, turning my head to hi
"Aria Aurora Nightingale!" I turned my head to the gate until it felt like my head was about to fall off. And standing on the other side was my father, who had his arms folded in front of him."I guess I've overstayed my welcome." Sylvain chuckled amusingly, forcing me to turn my gaze to him. "I'll speak to you on the phone later, okay?"Just that? How dense was this guy?"You can't be for real right now." I pouted. "Do you still see us as 'friends' after that kiss?"He seemed to be in thought at first until he shrugged. "I honestly don't know what else to say. I'll acknowledge the fact that we're... Mated somehow, but that's about it. Or, do you want us to be like... A couple–""Yes!" I blurted a little too quickly. Gosh, I sounded desperate. Sylvain blinked with a blank stare but ended up nodding. "Very well, my little wolf. From now on you'll be my girlfriend and I your boyfriend."My face heated up with a blush.However, my fairytale moment was interrupted yet again by my father
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
