Dominic's POV I swept her off her feet, carrying her toward the bed.I lay her on the bed and we resumed kissing. I squeezed her boobs gently through her blouse, her breath hiked in reaction to my touch. Her boobs were so sensitive.“Take off your blouse,” I whispered into her ear. She sat up and began to take it off, her eyes not leaving mine. Soon her pink strapless bra came into view.Kneeling on the bed with her in between my legs, my hand slid to the back of her bra, slowly unhooking it and letting it drop freely.She covered her boobs with her hands, making me chuckle.I held her hand and dropped them to her sides, setting her perky boobs free and on full display.“They're beautiful; you are beautiful,” I whispered, gently pushing her to lie back down. She shivered slightly, laying there with her boobs pointing at me, begging to be sucked.I had seen them before, but this time it felt different. It wasn't passive, both parties were active.I kissed her neck down to her shoulde
Dominic's POV The director was startled at my outburst but I couldn't care less.“Alpha,” He tried to talk.“Where is Luis?” I thundered. My angry voice echoed in the office, sending fear through his soul.“Luis took the rest of the day off.” He finally said, earning a questioning brow from me.He continued, “He had an allergic reaction so he had to leave.” The director explained.Allergic reaction my foot!“Where does he live?” I questioned further, my voice firm and domineering.Once I got my hands on Luis, he would fear women for the rest of his miserable life.“He lives in the city.” He said, his head bowed.“Give me his address.” I demanded impatiently, “A detailed address.” I emphasized.His head shot up, and his wide eyes stared at me, mixed with surprise and fear, but he didn't dare ask questions.He brought out a file, which I assumed contained the details of the employees, flipped through a few pages, and eventually settled on one.He tore out a piece of paper and began to
Lila's POV I stretched on the bed, using my hand to palpate but the space was empty. My eyes opened and Dominic was nowhere in bed.Where did he go? His office, maybe.I bit my lower lip shyly as memories of our heated sex started flooding in. Dragging the bed sheets to cover myself I giggled ridiculously.That was great. So this is what I had been missing? I couldn't explain the feeling.Dominic was a little rough but he warned me, didn't he? I giggled again.“I need to clean up,” I said, getting down from the bed with dried cum in between my legs. I entered the bathroom and washed myself up. Once I was done, I came back and checked the time, it was almost evening. Did I sleep for that long?I looked at my naked body in the mirror remembering Dominic's words. He said I was beautiful.For the first time in my life, I really see that now. Maybe he brought out the beauty in me.I wore a simple gown and stepped out. I wasn't sure if I could face him with how naughty I feel right now.
Lila's POV Stepping into the room with a tray of food in my hands. My eyes scanned the room, but I couldn't see Dominic anywhere; then I heard the shower running, and I knew he was in there.I sat on the couch, placed the tray on the stool, and waited for him.The shower ran for a while, then it stopped; he came out in just his towel. I swallowed hard. I couldn't stop myself from looking at his abs and the way the water dripped freely from his hair to his broad chest, I couldn't think straight.Why does he have to do this all the time? Was he really showing off in front of me?He caught me staring and I quickly looked away. I heard him chuckle.He came to the couch and sat close to me in just his towel. I stared at him in disbelief.“Go put something on,” I told him.He leaned forward and whispered “I don't want to,” I felt a funny sensation in my stomach as his hot breath hit my ear.He placed his hand on my thigh and slowly moved it under my dress, I instinctively spread my legs
Lila's POV “You've seen it before?” Judith asked, surprised.“Let me think,” I said, holding out my hand as an indication for her to stop interrupting my thoughts.Bingo!It was a dream I had repeatedly as a kid. I could coerce the earth and command it to obey me. It was the same scene in the drawing. Just replace Alpha Lumus’ picture with mine.“In my dream, I could do this effortlessly. I remember every trick I used, I think I can do it.” I told them. They stared at me like I had lost my mind.“You don't believe me?” I asked them, a little sad at their reaction.“It's not that. Among the four elements, the earth is the second hardest to manipulate. Saying you can pull it off effortlessly is a little far-fetched.” Judith explained.I stood to my feet with my hands on my waist.“Why don't you try me?” I challenged her, ready to prove myself.Judith stood abruptly to her feet, examining my face to determine if I meant it or if I was just bluffing. I met her eyes, my gaze unwavering.“
Lila's POV I sat on the floor with my legs folded in Morinda's room staring at her as she stared right back at me. It seemed like we were having some kind of staring competition.“Are we going to start already or is this part of the training?” I asked, my voice had a hint of frustration.If I had my way I would totally bail out and avoid being with Morinda alone in her, she's too creepy.She stopped Brian from entering saying it wasn't safe for him. Now she won't even say a word, just standing there and staring at me like there's poop on my face.I squeezed my face in disgust at the unpleasant smell of her incense.“Can you read my thoughts?” She suddenly asked out of the blue.“I'm not interested,” I replied bluntly.I kept wondering what a weak witch like her could teach me but I didn't have a better option. I would have to manage her.She sighed, “I was contemplating where to start, but your mind-reading ability is already advanced. We might just have to skip that for now and focu
Lila's POV The next morning I found myself in the library. It was so early so I was the only one there. First, I went to look for the book that Judith had shown us the previous day.I looked for a while but I couldn't find it. I kept looking and was about to give up when the librarian approached.“Good morning, do you need my assistance?” She asked with a smile on her face.“Yes, please. There's a book I'm looking for, It's huge…” My words trailed at the realization that I had forgotten the name of the book.Damn! If they had just written the damn thing in English it would've been easier to recall.“Do you remember the title?” She asked politely.“Not really,” I responded.She said, “Well, do you remember anything that might help us find the book?”“I think so.” I said, “It has symbols and pictures; it's not written in the English language.” I described it as best as I could.She nodded and continued, “Your description matches a hieroglyphic book. Shouldn't be hard to find.” She move
Lila's POV “Wait here!” Judith said and stepped forward to join Brian.I didn't understand what was happening and the feeling was killing me. There's a package for me and I have no idea what it contains.“Fuck it!” I said under my breath and went to join them.My eyes widened in shock as I saw the bloody dagger in the box. A wave of fear watched over me. How could I not recognize it after what it did to me?“Isn't that the–” I tried to say, but my voice failed me. I felt traumatized just by looking at it.Brian turned swiftly and came to me, saying, “I told you to stay back.” His expression was serious and his tone commanding.“What is it doing here?” I pointed to it, my finger slightly trembling.“I don't know but you can't go near it.” He patted me on the back slowly, but his palm was not gentle.“Don't touch it!” He suddenly yelled at Judith who flinched in realization.He ran to her and grabbed her, then pulled her to where I stood.“What were you thinking?” He yelled angrily. I
Judith's POV “Where is Lauren?” I went straight to the point, definitely not in the mood to put up with her behavior. She can wait for Lila to get better then they continue their feud.“And how am I supposed to know that?” She folded her arms over her breasts with her gaze matching mine.“Don’t mess with me, I don't have the patience for that,” I warned, my voice instantly turning cold.She scoffed, stepping closer. “I don't know where Lauren is, if I were you I'd be worried about much bigger things than trying to get an innocent lady upset.” The way the words rolled out of her mouth felt so wrong. Like she knew something we all didn't. Something is wrong. Her confidence, everything.I arched an eyebrow, “What the hell is that supposed to mean?”She shrugged nonchalantly, “I don't know, we'll see.”Her eyes sparkled with something deadly, something darker. Something beyond my understanding. I watched as she walked away, swaying her hips, my self-control slipping by the second. The s
Judith's POV I watched her struggling to hold them off, her arms vibrating as they stretched forth holding the already breached barrier in place. A stray tear rolled down the corner of my eye at the sight of her fighting to keep her eyes open.“Lila,” I called softly, a little whimper involuntarily escaping my mouth.I didn't think she could hear me, but she did; her eyes searched everywhere until they found me, her formerly lively face now paler by the second.“Lila,” I called again, feeling a little helpless at her current state. She's all alone out there, scared, drained. Fighting for the people who once treated her as an outcast because she was birthed by a witch. For the people who had wanted nothing more than to throw her out of the Packhouse.“Judith,” She whispered weakly, “You shouldn't be here.”I shook my head, tears spilling from my eyes. Tears I didn't want to shed for the fear of making her weaker. Tears I fought to hold back just so I could give her some kind of motiva
Brian's POV Saying I expected those words from Judith would be a blatant lie. I was taken aback myself. Didn't she break down a while ago when they got separated? Now she's throwing it all under the bus for some heroic move? Is this how quickly it is with women? The mood swing thing?“Excuse us,” I pulled her to the side, maybe I could talk some sense into her, just maybe. “What are you doing?” “Staying here to help. Isn't it obvious?” She asked back, feigning confidence even though I could see through her eyes that she wanted to be with him more than anything else.I sighed, shaking my head slightly.“There's nothing left for you to do here. Go to your mate.” “No.” She replied bluntly, making no attempt to comply, her eyes holding mine as if this was a staring competition.My hands moved until they settled on my waist, maintaining that posture for a while, just peering intently into her face. “You know, you and Lila, I'm starting to wonder who is more stubborn.”She shrugged casua
Judith's POV I staggered backward until I crashed to the ground, my legs suddenly finding it difficult to carry my body.Fear gripped me, my eyes taking in the gruesome scene before me.My ears suddenly became alert, realizing that the killer might still be lurking around waiting for the next victim.My heart throbbed vigorously against my rib cage, fear clouding my senses at the thought that there was a murderer in our midst and on the loose. And we had no idea who it was.I sprang up to my feet with determination, sprinting out of the room as fast as I could. I had to warn the others. Whoever it was that had managed to penetrate the Packhouse and eliminate Morinda was dangerous. They had to be alert.My legs descended the stairs rapidly, my steps were as light as a feather. It felt as if I was flying over them. “There's a killer in the building!” I announced breathlessly. My intention wasn't to scare anyone, just to keep them alert, but my approach was wrong. They stared at me wit
Judith's POV The ache in my body threatened to rip me apart. It was too much, too intense. This is probably the end of it for us. How did we not know it was the full moon tonight? Now we're all a wrecking mess, praying for some kind of miracle to happen.“Urgh!” My throat cracked along with the bones of my body. Why did this have to happen now? Has the moon goddess forsaken us? Is this how we perish?I would never have thought that the witch could harness the full moon’s energy to resurrect the dead. I've heard that it was possible. Only heard, not really believed it. And this was said to have happened over two hundred years ago. When witches were still allowed to coexist with werewolves. It all seemed like a nightmare I wanted to make up so badly from.“We have to leave now.” Jonathan’s voice interrupted my train of thought as he wrapped his arm around me, nudging me to move. His eyes burned with contained pain. He was trying his best to be strong for me. For us.Shaking my head in
Lila's POV I found it difficult to sleep after my encounter with the witch in that memory lane. For some reason, it scared me; I feared that she would reappear in my dream and trap me there. I've been trapped before, it's not a funny experience. Not something I wish to experience again.Her presence felt oddly familiar and I feared what that could mean. In the library, I searched for a book on ancient spells; I was bent on finding out how she was about to touch me in a trance. Despite looking for a while, I couldn't find anything tangible, but I kept looking, keeping my mind open for possibilities.Then the lights went out and I found myself stuck at the library. It was just me there, nobody else. A feeling of fear washed over me as my heart thumped rapidly against my chest as if it could explode at any minute.Luckily I was with my phone, so I was able to keep my corner illuminated until the saved energy was restored. I was going to return to my room when I met Judith and the rest.
Brian's POV “Where's your phone?” I demanded, my voice calm and measured despite the crawl I felt under my skin. I needed to find mine but I couldn't see a thing. The darkness thickened, increasing the tension in the air.“Wh– why should I give you my phone?” I could hear her shallow breathing through the silent night.“I need to find my phone!” A frustrated groan left my throat. What did she think I was going to do with her phone? Couldn't she see that I need even a flicker of light to help my vision? Moreover, I was losing patience. I needed to be with Lila. I needed to make sure she was safe.The feeling of uneasiness clung to me like a second skin, triggering my senses.Her phone's screen shone softly on her face, making her the only glowing spot in the dark. Slowly, the flashlight came on and I immediately spotted my phone. Without hesitation, I reached for it.The screen was cracked but it was manageable. At least the flashlight was working.I dashed for the staircase, determin
Juliana's POV It's been one week since I got disowned by my only surviving parent. This increased my hatred for Lila; since her arrival to the pack, things have gone the direct opposite in my favor. She has taken everything from me.This was the height of it all. I couldn't take it anymore. I could kill her if I got the chance. She's a bad omen and doesn't deserve to live among people.She carried trouble with her everywhere she went, effortlessly emitting bad luck like a transmitter, inflicting everyone within reach.‘Just wait until I'm done with you.’ I said in my mind as I glared at Lila from across my table as she ate with Brian and a little girl. Today is the night of the full moon. I can't wait to finally put her in her place.As it stands, I don't care about the details. I only cared about eliminating Lila. She's the biggest threat to the existence of wolves and the supernatural world. I sat patiently, waiting for Lauren's signal or role designation.Over the past few days, w
Juliana's POV There's something strange about the determination in Lauren's voice that piqued my interest. There was a hint of disgust in her voice if I'm not mistaken.“Are you already giving up on Dominic? Deep down you know he belongs to you. You know she hasn't done anything to deserve him.” She spoke steadily, peering intensely into my eyes. I fought the urge to scoff. “What should I do when he already chose someone else instead of me?”He made his choice. Despite the pain that comes with admitting to this fact, I've come to accept it.“Their union is a disaster, I'm sure you've heard that. Would you rather intervene now or stay apartheid and watch the worst come to Blackwood? Even if Dominic might die in the process?” Her eyes never left mine as she spoke.If she was aiming to scare me, then she was definitely doing a great job at it because a dreadful shiver overtook my body for a split second after the words left her mouth.Luther had mentioned the same, now Lauren. There ha
