Bound by the vampire's temptation Sixty Seven
Raven My heart panted in terror and my pulse began to beat erratically and tears flowed like a river from my eyes. My dad was so angry he panted like a wounded lion in the private living room. I couldn't dare look him in the face. With both hands on his hips, he turned to face me speaking with a voice colder than the grave. "Now I need you to start talking. I don't have time for all of these stupid jokes." I understood my dad's anger, and he had every reason to be pissed at me. But what pierced my heart more was that the person who caused all of this wasn't even worth all this trouble. Vlad was nothing but a douchebag who broke my heart into shreds, and now he was causing trouble in my family, tearing me apart from my dad. Everything had come crashing down "I'm talking to you, Raven. What was it you wanted to tell me? And I hope it's something good, and not anything that would worsen your situation." My cheeks were flushed and wet, and my eyes still leaked tears. "Stop cry

Lucian We had been double-crossed. The shock of our failed mission made our success look bleak. We didn't know what to do, and the blackness of confusion covered us. "Are you sure he doesn't have it in his bedroom?" I asked my uncle. He shook his head. "Elvira is sure. She checked everywhere. I'm sure your stupid brother must be behind it. He takes it out sometimes." "But if it has been missing for so long, how come the king hasn't found out?" Dimitri scoffed. "Because he doesn't use it all the time. He only uses it when there is an emergency or for ceremonial purposes. The vampire meeting comes up on Saturday. I'm sure that if it's missing, he will raise the alarm before then." "So what's going to happen if it's truly missing? Do we get to release my brother?" Dimitri hit my head hard, causing me to wince. "Enough with the questions, boy. I don't have time for this. We have to find the staff. And if you love your life, you better start thinking of what to do. If you think yo

Raven The weekend was so weird, especially because everyone expected my dad to be so mad. But the opposite was the case. He was grinning from ear to ear, giving me subtle winks. Clarissa was very discerning and knew that something was up. She confronted my dad when she saw us whispering. "Jalen, are you going to tell me what's going on? "It's nothing, baby," my dad laughed, hugging her from behind and twirling her around. "I get that this wasn't the reaction you expected seeing that I didn't flare up. But my daughters are suffering from a teenage crisis. I mean, didn't we all? Well, minus my bouts of madness that stopped until I found you, the love of my life. You dated that pork face, Alan before Genevieve stole him from you. " I didn't know that. It was strange, considering Genevieve and Clarissa were best friends. "Jalen, this isn't funny," Clarissa scowled before glancing at me and back to my dad. "Alan wasn't a vampire. Why aren't you taking this case seriously? Is there

Raven We headed back to the pack after making sure that the staff of authority was hidden in the safe room. I had doubts and fears, wondering if I was doing the right thing. Most of all, my heart slammed at the thought of betraying Vlad. Even though he had broken my heart, he still was my every hope and fantasy, the only one who made me feel attractive for the first time in my life. Beautiful bastard. StoneCrest bustled with activity. Wednesdays were usually for intense training and sports. Taylor spotted me from afar and rushed to hug me, almost throwing me off balance. "Christ, Raven. You scared me. My thoughts were jumbled all weekend and I was this close to coming to the pack house. Why didn't you take my calls?" Taylor's rapid questions threw me off guard, overwhelming me. "Sorry," I muttered. “It wasn't intentional." Her brows furrowed and she gave a clipped nod, waving my apology off and guiding me to a nearby concrete chair. "I was and still am very concerned, esp

Vlad It took me a moment to fully grasp my surroundings and realize that I was awake. I jolted, drenched in sweat from my head to foot. My breaths came in short gasps and I shivered on the cold, marble floor, my hand gripping the cage bars. The torment I'd felt these past weeks was enough to make a sane man run mad. The room was empty but I felt the lingering pain of the damn ghost, as if the sharpness had transferred from her to me. "Just a dream," I reminded myself, attempting to calm my racing heart. The cage walls closed in on me, this damn cage where I was dumped like a chicken, begging for life. I couldn't shut my eyes until the morning light filtered through the window. One of Dracula's guards rattled the keys and dumped a tray of soggy ramen and carrots. The look alone was enough to make me stay hungry for the whole day. My appetite had waned since the abduction and the thought of eating made me feel queasy. I pushed the tray aside and the guard rolled his eyes in a

Raven My feet hurried through the bustling school corridors and I was headed to the library. I had to do something to fix my grades, especially now that I was in senior high when it was a humiliation to flunk out. I had to maintain a good student persona and not get distracted by Vlad and the damn staff of authority. Vlad had his future set. He was great at sports and his dad was so influential that he had a spot in the best universities. My cred was already bad after returning from rehab. Knowing that if I didn't study enough, I could miss out on graduation fuelled my drive. It began drizzling as soon as I got to the library. The building was quiet as usual, with a few Lycans studying in groups and vampires reading on their own. I ducked my head at the sight of William who was browsing through the shelves. The last thing I wanted was to chitchat. After finding an empty table tucked away in a quiet corner away from prying eyes, I fished out my calculus textbook, determined to g

Dora's POV Darkness was seeping in through the cracks in the king's castle. The maids and I hid silently behind the thick curtains, watching the uproar unfold. The castle was in chaos and every occupant, from the king to the lowest servant was on edge. Servants whispered among themselves, sages and alchemists were frightened, and even the castle guards who were usually stoic and inexpressive feared for the loss of their jobs. At first, it seemed as a joke that the king's staff was missing and I wondered how it had left the building without the king's knowledge, but I also knew the truth. No other person could have done this. The king's unfaithful wife, Elvira, and the stupid head of security he trusted implicitly were the center of it all. It was sad that King Vladislav couldn't see the truth. One would have expected me to speak the truth by now, but I held my tongue because sometimes silence was golden. Also, the queen was powerful enough and filled with wickedness to turn

Raven Against my will, I glanced around the class, checking the vampire section for any sight of Vlad. He was nowhere in sight and my burden grew by the second, wondering what was up with him. No matter how hard I tried to focus on the lesson, my mind kept drifting back to his absence. My cheeks burned in shame for investing my feelings in that douchebag who couldn't care less about me. "Taylor, have you seen Vlad today?" I pulled her hair aside and whispered in her ear. Taylor gasped, turning slowly to face me with eyes wide like two boiled eggs. "What the fuck, Raven?" She glared at me, " Why are you asking me about that stupid boy?" I sighed, drawing doodles in my book. "It's nothing personal. I just... Well, we have to discuss our project." Taylor relaxed, shrugging nonchalantly. "I don't care about him or any bloodsucker. Maybe he caught some STD or something." Her chin geared back and she burst into loud laughter. I shook my head at her foolishness. "No, seriously.

JalenThe overpowering smell of old, musty leather filled my dad's beat-up sedan, and the sound of his angry voice rose above the roar of the engine as he scolded me for shifting into my beast form. Tension filled the car, and my anger radiated off me in waves."Is it such a difficult task to control yourself in public? Have you never seen a girl before that you had to shift into your beast form? Now everyone in the pack will yap about how my son was aroused by a stupid werewolf.""I wasn't aroused by her," I lied, trying to defend myself, but he was too far gone in his rage to listen."Griffin, please hear him out. There may be other reasons why he shifted, and besides, Jalen can't be attracted to that spoiled brat.""Oh, shut up," my dad barked at my mom, who had stepped in to try and calm the situation. "That's all you do, make fat and silly excuses for him. He never does anything right. I'll be retiring in a year, and I don't even know the future of our pack."She sat in silence,

Clarissa I fell to the stage, surrounded by flashing cameras and concerned faces, I couldn't believe what had just happened. My heart was racing and I was hyperventilating, trying to process the fact that a Lycan was my mate.All around me, my family rushed to my side, trying to help me up and calm me down. My mother's caked-on makeup was smudged with sweat, a proof to her concern and worry. And all around, people were talking and trying to make sense of what was happening. 'Breathe, Rissa,' I encouraged myself, breathing out of my nostrils.Why was the moon goddess doing this to me? My brain couldn't process this at all. I'd been mateless for twenty-three years only to become a forbidden Lycan's mate?Fucking great!My mum squeezed my hand to comfort me. She was going to keep blaming me for months for disgracing her. "Here, sip some water," she said. My brother, Bryon, held my head while my dad checked my temperature. I felt lightheaded and was breathing quickly, inhaling and exh

EpilogueSix years later "Raven, my love, ever since I met you, I've fantasized about this moment," Vlad's voice trembled with emotion. "I can't imagine a world without you. We have everything we need – money, a loving family, and a future ahead. Please, baby, will you marry me?"Caught off guard by Vlad's proposal, I burst into tears, turning to mush and ruining my perfectly done makeup."You naughty boy! Why didn't you tell me about this," I blubbered, hitting his shoulder? His perfect dentition broke into a killer smile, as my head bobbed in a yes. "Of course, I'll marry you," my heart sang with delight. "you own me after all.""I owe you my life," he said and I threw myself at his arms. He wrapped them tight around me, the smell of his cologne and our mating bond engulfing me and sending shivers down my spine. Gently, he slipped a Tiffany style round cut engagement ring onto my third finger, and the diamondsglinted brightly against my skin. "So this is why that silly girl, Ta

Raven The Doctor and King Vladislav walked in slowly, with the king standing beside me.I sobbed uncontrollably to the point that I began seeing spots and my vision became blurred, and I could hardly see the people in front of me anymore. The king's eyes were clouded with sadness and regret. I could feel the pressure building in my throat, making my breathing feel constricted. "Raven, please don't cry. You have done enough. Let's just say goodbye to Vlad.""Goodbye?" I spat, and he took a step back. "How will I do that? How do you expect me to say goodbye to my mate? My partner for life!""Raven, Vlad is my son," King Vladislav said with a resigned tone. "I feel so hopeless right now. But we have to face reality. Hybrids are different from humans and werewolves. The earlier we accept the reality that Vlad can never regain consciousness, the better for everyone. False hopes and delusions will get us nowhere."The king's voice cracked. "Please understand, Raven." I stumbled forward,

Raven On the night of day six, I couldn't sleep. My mind was restless like a rolling stone and I kneeled by Vlad's bedside, begging him with everything in me.King Vladislav had begun preparing for Vlad's funeral. According to him, Vlad deserved a befitting burial. How could anyone be comfortable burying their child?My tongue felt swollen. I was helpless and needed a miracle for Vlad. He was the only thing that brought joy and light to my life.The king was broken. All he did was mope and answer questions with monosyllables. Reality had begun to hit him but matter how much I begged him to extend the date, he didn't budge."Raven, there's nothing we can do. This is pure torture," his voice choked. "Let him rest.""Vlad, my love," I gripped his hand. "Did you hear your father? Is this what you want, to be buried? Talk to me. Wake up before they turn off the life support. Come back to me. Don't leave me, please. Just come back!"The answer I got was the beep of the machine and Vlad's s

RavenI couldn't sleep all night, and all I kept thinking about was Vlad. It was so bad that when I finally managed to drift off to sleep, it was filled with nightmares of them burying Vlad and all our classmates placing flowers at his gravesite. I felt even worse when I woke up, rolling over to face the wall and pulling my knees tight against my chest. The darkness of the night wasn’t comforting enough for the pain in my heart. The silence didn’t help either. What if Vlad never makes it? What if he doesn't come back to life? And then the memories from my dreams replayed over and over again in vivid detail. Taylor never left my side and even shared my bed with me. She sat up, staring at me with sympathy in her green eyesMy head rested on her shoulder as she whispered soothing things into my ear while rubbing my arms and whispering ‘It's okay’ every few minutes.At one point, she had to go out and make me some hot chocolate because I had started shivering so badly.

Raven On day three of my stay in the specialist hospital, I had to return to school to write an important test that couldn't be written online. It was the last screening part to get admitted to college."You need to go," King Vladislav pleaded with me. "You're young and have a full life ahead of you. Vlad wouldn't want you to waste your time here and spend a year doing nothing just because you missed your college entrance exam." He paused to let his words sink and sadly, he was right. It was a good thing that I had been accepted into the best college program on campus on a full scholarship. My dad was wealthy enough to train me but that didn't mean I should waste his money on tuition. I sighed and the King begged me to stop making excuses. "you've got to graduate, Raven. I'm here with Vlad and you can always come back whenever you wish.""I don't trust you enough," I muttered. I don't know what you'll end up doing the second I step my foot out the door.

LucianI'd seen too much, witnessed too many painful scenes. I returned home, terrible regrets and guilt assailing me. Vlad's condition was my fault. I let out a choked, desperate laugh. The king was so mad at me that he couldn't stand my presence. He hated me so much. Blood pounded in my temples as I felt humiliated and deflated remembering the disgraceful way he sent me away from the hospital. Not that I blamed him anyway. I deserved to be ridiculed. Everything was all my fault. If I hadn't fallen for Dimitri's stupid antics, I would have exposed him instead and saved my brother.Now Vlad's blood was forever spilled on my hands. It made me want to cry like a baby.How could I have been so stupid? How was I so careless as not to recognize how evil Dimitri really was? When I returned home, that wicked bitch, Elvira, was nowhere to be found. She could run, but she was definitely not going to hide forever. She was the mastermind of all this calamity and the reason why my mother d
