"Why did you put me through that?" I asked, taking a moment to delve into his intense gaze. "Do you really despise me that much?" Dimitri hissed, his voice sharp like a knife. "Isabelle, be careful with what you say." "Why should I even try?" I shot back, matching his intensity. "That’s enough!" Dimitri growled, his voice low and menacing. Before I could respond, he roared, halting my words in their tracks. He seized my arms, pushing me against the wall. My heart raced, and the fire in his gaze intensified. This is unbearable! There’s no escaping destiny anymore. His lips crashed onto mine, stealing my breath and breaking through all my defenses. --- Isabella Rosa Santacruz is a witch on the run, her blood linked to a prophecy that positions her as the key to the universe. Throughout her life, she has evaded monsters and myths, always staying a step ahead—until now. Dimitri Axel Castellan, known as the Blood Alpha, is feared, ruthless, and weighed down by a cursed pack fated to perish on the eleventh blood moon. However, when he encounters Isabella—the one person he never expected—everything shifts. She becomes the air he can’t breathe without, even if loving her means sacrificing everything, including his own life. Will their connection protect them from the impending chaos, or will it pull them apart?

I felt his hands tighten on my wrists and yank me away from him. His words, which were growing more acerbic by the second, were, “I warned you, Ruby, but still you had the effrontery to come into my room with this stunt.” He was enraged. I mentally resolved myself, “But I… Dimitri, I need you and I’m not going to let you go.” He collected his files from his desk and walked calmly away from me. “For your sake I’ll pretend none of these happened today. Now get out!” he commanded. What? My fury was boiling, and I could hear Rose’s solo song, “I told you so,” playing nonstop in my head. I refused to accept this rejection. I responded, not caring what tone I used because I was only angry, “Dimitri, what’s wrong with you? You know you miss me, I don’t understand what’s wrong.” His hands were on me before I realized it, but not in the way I would ha
“Someone coughed up something that made my eyes snap back open. Dimitri and I turned around fast to see who it was— Gabe. His eyes were wide with disbelief and he had his hands covering his mouth, still dressed in his pajamas. Gabe nervously grinned as Dimitri’s enraged eyes fixed on him. “So sorry for interrupting. I’ll leave. Just act like you never saw me. Please completely ignore my existence and don’t stop.” This, I believe, was my signal to go. I jumped down from the kitchen counter and muttered, “I’ll go back to bed first.” My face was already hot with shame. Gabe and Dimitri were left in the kitchen. I raced upstairs to my room, slamming the door behind me as I entered. “Why in the world did I try to kiss him? I’m a huge nerd! I withdraw from myself and my deeds.I was not thinking at all, and if I had been thinking, I would have realized that was incredibly foolish and careless. Isabella, you were doing foolishly! “She finally admits it,” I rolled my eyes at the obnoxious voi
He smiled, exposing his big, sharp fangs as his eyes turned completely bloodshot. “Nice. Nothing still beats drinking straight from the source.” He struck the girl’s neck, right into the throbbing vein. She gave a little whimper as he continued to draw blood from her veins, until she turned as white as a corpse and collapsed to the ground. With his head still turned to look at the ground, Konstantine turned to face his servant. He would not have the courage to gaze at his lord in Primordial form. His servant simply nodded in comprehension as Konstantine gave him instructions to “alert the others. Tell everyone I want the girl alive.”His wicked sneer revealed his bloodshot red lips as he said, “Now let the vicious fun begin.”Isabelle’s POV As soon as we arrived at the estate, I walked straight to the kitchen to get a glass of water. I was still gasping for air from sprinting so hard. Leaning comfortably against the wall, Dimitri trailed in after me. He was quite difficult to read, so
I was unable to reveal to her that they were vampires, so I continued to lie, saying, “I don’t know.” “But he sure looked like he knew you.” She responds. Once more, she was intent on discovering the truth, so I had to shift the topic. “Go quickly! We must leave this place. I grasped my mate’s hand and we began sprinting towards the pack home together. “More could be approaching,” I stated persuasively, and she nodded in agreement.Isabelle’s POV As we ran hand in hand back to the castle, a lot of questions raced through my mind: did those vampires know him? One of them even addressed him as Alpha, and the ease with which he dispatched them suggests that this wasn’t his first encounter with the recently turned vampires. What the hell was he? Many thoughts raced through my mind at once: the young vampires ran away, not from me but from Dimitri. What was it about Dimitri that scared vampires? There was a secret hidden about this whole place, and I realized now that it wasn’t just that
At last, she opened her mouth to speak. She scoffed crazily and said, “What the hell are you doing? Don’t tell me you were stalking me?” She makes it seem eerie now. I was only keeping an eye out for her, not stalking her. There’s a big distinction. “And why would I stalk you? I believe you think too highly of yourself. You aren’t the only one who likes taking early morning walks too. I came out to clear my head and was as surprised to find you here.” I said the truth. She gave me a skeptical stare, clearly not buying my story. I had to quickly switch the roles. Trying to control my tone, I yelled, “And you? What are you doing out at this time? Don’t you know that it is dangerous around here, huh? What if you got hurt?” I have discovered that my little friend has an extremely short fuse. I couldn’t help but smile as the memory of the drama between her and Rubi flashed through my mind. If I claimed I wasn’t proud of what she did to Rubi, I would be lying. She was incredibly co
That was the first time the Red Circle coven had located me, three years later. When I got home from school that day, I saw him dead in a pool of his own blood, horrified. I knew she had discovered me again when I heard a hissing sound reverberating throughout the home. As she leaned closer to me, my aunt Delilah’s crimson-red lips formed a big smile that said, “Hello my little niece.” Beside her, slithering, is her pet basilisk serpent. She had that damn serpent by her side all the time. That was the one that killed my foster father and terrified him. She let out a terrified chuckle, “You thought you could run away from me forever. But you can’t outrun me. Your daddy couldn’t, your mommy couldn’t, and you also failed!” It seemed as though I was going through all of these memories again that I had worked so hard to conceal. Still, I understood that this was all a bad dream. I curled up on the floor and cried out, “No. No. No. No. It’s not real.” I repeated those words over and again a
Abruptly, my gaze caught sight of the figure near the door. “Isabelle!” I whispered to myself as my eyes grew wide. She continued to stare at me, presumably too preoccupied to realize that I was staring back at her. She had a captivatingly lovely appearance. She was putting on a long blouse, pale pink, that reached her hands. Her hair was pushed to one side, allowing me to see her smooth, white skin and just enough cleavage to make a marking. Luca was growling with desire, wanting to seize her and claim her as his. mine. She was hurrying to go to her room, so I suppose she recognized quickly that I had noticed her. “Alpha!” Alaric said as he followed me, trying to figure out what the issue was on the ground. We were dealing with an unusual situation that had never occurred before. Suddenly, creatures started appearing around every corner of Bournville. Something wasn’t right because this was out of the ordinary and should have alarmed you. It seemed as though they were all drawn to th
Isabelle’s POV Umm. I took a slow sip from Gemini’s newly brewed cup of coffee. I stopped looking as she blushed furiously, her cheeks going crimson, saying, “Gosh, it tastes so nice, Gem.” Since my arrival and the unpleasant scene involving Rubi, it has been more than a week, and I must say, things are going well thus far. Everyone, and by everyone I mean the entire mafia cult, community, town, and society,has been incredibly kind to me. I hesitated, uncertain about how to categorize this incredibly vast populace residing in the castle and several nearby cottages. Although I wasn’t very knowledgeable about mafias, I always assumed that they would be violent and corrupt, but that wasn’t the case. This was a lovely mafia. They treated everyone like family and looked out for each other, which showed me that they were excellent people who loved each other very much. It felt good to be a part of something, and I won’t deny that they all view me as a member of their family. to be a part o
I stood there on the balcony, staring into the moon, I let my mind to stray to these ideas. I recognized Isabella’s voice as well as Rubi’s when I heard two female voices conversing. How in the hell was she back here? When I hurried back inside, Rubi was clinging to Isabelle’s arm and obstructing her progress. “Now what was this bitch doing?”I let out a frustrated groan.Although I knew Ruby would return today after her visit to her grandparents, I couldn’t believe she could go a whole minute without causing trouble. That insane woman yelled, glaring at my partner, “Stupid human! Listen here, Dimitri is mine, just mine alright. He belongs to only me! And I don’t want to even see you around him, you do not even dare to look at him!” She was completely bonkers to think there was a relationship between us. I was ready to take over and correct Rubi. She doesn’t have the right to imply that we are together just because I let her warm my bed. She was just one of my sluts; there was no relati
I Chapter 1 GOT THE DRINKS!!!” Tonight at the club, I heard Iris scream loudly as she tried to drown out the deafening noise of the music that was determined to burst my eardrum. I took one of the red plastic cups from her hands and tried my best to yell out at her, “About time! Why did you take so long!” The blended cocktails in the cups were ones I would rather not know the components of. This was my first night at Tropical Thunder, Bournville’s largest and busiest nightclub. Basically, everyone from our college attended, even a group of adolescent hormone-happy high school students who brought phony identification to show their peers how horrible they really were. What utter fools they were, squandering their time attempting to validate their value to others who didn’t give a damn. I thought it was silly to try to live up to other people’s expectations; why not just be yourself? But anyhow, enough of my viewpoint, Iris started. Iris laughed and ...
