Karissa Blue Rose POV.While I was away from home for about two days, I had a premonition yesterday morning when I was still in the hotel suite I had booked down for myself. It was about Sapphire getting attacked by drunk wolves, her cloth was ripped open and her skin was bleeding. She was in tears, screaming for help, begging them to let her go but they didn't listen and just before I could see more, the premonition stopped and jolted up, breathing heavily as I looked around the hotel I was in .I was scared to death. I couldn't stay back at the hotel anymore even though I had clients who were waiting for me and also wanted me to design their wedding dresses but I couldn't stay away from Sapphire when I knew that she would need my help. I needed to make sure that premonition didn't come to pass but dammit! I didn't return home early like I had planned and I was sure it already happened but Sapphire hide it away from me the way she always does when I asked her. Sapphire was too se
Sapphire's POV."Now that makes some sense. But are you saying that I have been surrounded by human eaters since all these while? Even in college?" I inquired and Aunt karissa nodded, a whisper from her lips."Yes, Sapphire. I am sorry." I smiled softly at her. "It's fine. Don't feel bad. And I am glad you told me on time, hmm?" Aunt Karissa smiled back, giving my cheeks a pat before turning to focus on the road.The drive back home was quiet as I gaze outside the window, staring at each beautiful tree we drove past. I was aware of everything Aunt Karissa revealed to me but I had to put on a pretense. I couldn't tell her that I was already aware of the existence of these supernatural beings because I was precisely attacked and saved by the same beings who turned out to be Werewolves.I shouldn't be hiding these from her but I made a promise. I promised Aleric that I wouldn't say anything about them to anyone.'Aunt Karissa knows about their existence already so I don't know if it is
Sapphire Walter POV "Mom, are you almost done? Dad and I have been waiting for over ten minutes! Please hurry!" I called out, excitement bubbling in my stomach."I'm on my way, honey! Just grabbing my purse," she replied from upstairs, her voice carrying down to us.I could hear my dad chuckle from the driver's seat, shaking his head with a smile. "Your mom hasn’t changed at all, Sapphire. Always takes her time, but she’s just as beautiful as the first day I met her."I giggled, my cheeks warming at his words. My dad has always adored my mom, showering her with compliments that never fail to make me smile.Sometimes, I dream of finding a love like that—someone who cherishes me the way my dad cherishes my mom. A love that lasts forever, a ride-or-die kind of love.But I remind myself that I’m just a teenager who recently graduated high school and will be starting college soon. Romance can wait; I have to focus on making my parents proud. Although I craved romance like every other te
Sapphire Walter POV. Two Days Later.****"I'm so sorry for your loss, Miss Walters," A middle-aged man who introduced himself as a lawyer from the Bank gave his condolences to me as we sat in the center of my Dad's grand mansion. It's been two days since my parent's funeral, but the tears refused to dry off. I miss them; I miss my parents' love, their playful banter, and their laughter, which always lighted up the house. I miss them so much that living alone in such a huge house was an emotional torment to me. I wiped my tears with my palm, forcing a small smile to avoid seeming rude. "It’s fine, Sir," I managed to say, my voice hoarse from crying for the past two days. "Why are you here though?" I asked, puzzled to know why a bank lawyer was there."I’m afraid I have some difficult news which you might find hard to accept," he replied, his tone serious. "But I hope you have somewhere or at least someone you could stay with.""What do you mean? I'm perfectly fine living here on
Aleric Dolce POV.Speeding down the pavement of the campus, the hum of my bike was powerful beneath my thighs, its vibrating sound sending a surge of adrenalin through my veins as I raced onto campus. Instantly, an unusual sweet scent filled my nostrils, making a hard gulp run down my throat and my golden eyes glowed due to how inviting it smelt. I could feel my wolf getting excited, his reaction to the smell was more like a warning, a feeling that he would lose it if I didn't find the source of that sweet, addicting scent and claim her soon enough.I activated my senses, riding my bike faster as I sped onto campus, my mind completely forgetting that I was racing with my gangs previously as my only focus was on finding her. My Mate. Scanning the crowd of girls who were jumping at the sight of my biker gang zooming into campus; I didn't give a damn about the college girls like I did before cause what mattered most to me was to find her, and I was sure that she was present on campus.
Sapphire's POV. I got up from my desk, packed up my books, and was ready to make my way out of the classroom cause lectures were over when I suddenly heard a small voice chiming before my desk. "Hey, girl!" My gaze shot up in surprise cause no one had uttered a word to me throughout today; their gaze filled with loath and disgust, which made me silently wonder why they gave me such a disapproving look. The voice turned out to belong to the blonde girl who had been taken for granted earlier today by the Biker Devil. Yes, I nicknamed Aleric Dolce as the biker devil cause that was exactly who he was! "Hey, girl," I smiled blissfully, happy to find someone interested in speaking to me. "I hope you were not badly hurt earlier," I asked in concern while admiring her flawless skin, brown orbs, and shiny blonde hair. "Nah, it's fine," She waved it off with a bright smile. "Aleric seemed to have woken up on the wrong side of his bed cause on norms, he would usually have fun with
Aleric Dolce Pov.I kissed her rough and hard, pouring out my raging emotions into her blabbering lips as I struggled to stop myself. My wolf wasn't even helping matters because he was the reason behind my unexpected actions. The news of Sapphire talking to some random Wolf in the cafeteria got to me by my right-hand man. I didn't want to care about it, but to be honest; it didn't sit well with me. My possessive wolf instincts got the better of me as I became curious to know who my mate would be talking to, and that too in a cafeteria. Jealousy took over me as stormed into the cafeteria just to find the fucking rascal kissing my mate right before me! Anger boiled within me, and I did not think twice before throwing a hard-fisted hit on his filthy mouth and sending him off the table as he groaned in pain, but I was not done yet.I was furious cause how dare she let someone else kiss her? A lowly gamma at that! I pulled her face closer to mine with both of my hands, growing hungri
Sapphire's POV.I ran out of the cafeteria in tears, feeling violated after my first kiss was stolen away from me by the annoying biker devil! If only I had known that all these would have happened, then I would have turned down Lisa's treat to a cafeteria even though I knew that it was going to hurt her feelings if I did that, but at least it was much better that way cause look now... Cameron was badly injured and my first kiss was stolen.I had thought my first day of college would be quiet and peaceful, not knowing that coming here would result in all these. I ran as fast and far as my little legs could take me, tears pouring down my cheeks, but I wiped them off immediately after I saw Aunt Karissa's car from afar. I slowed down, taking up my time to get myself intact and to make sure she didn't notice that I was crying before I reached where her car was parked in the parking lot on campus. I did not want to get her worked up unnecessarily all because of what Aleric did to me,

Sapphire's POV.We left the class for the cafeteria, and we ran into Matteo on our way in, my face colliding onto his chest as his soda spilled on me. Surprisingly, Aleric wasn't there with him as usual because Matteo used to be seen mostly with Aleric as he followed Aleric around campus all the time like a bodyguard but well, he was just his right-hand man. "Hey, I am so sorry. I didn't see you coming," I apologized, wiping off the soda drink that had spilled on me from the can of soda Matteo held."Its fine. I should be the one apologizing," He said as he handed me his hankie. "Use this to clean it off. Thankfully, the drink wouldn't leave a stain on your T-shirt." He said. If there was something I noticed about Matteo Rossi, then it would be that although Matteo was reserved and was sometimes cruel due to what Aleric commands him to do, Matteo wasn't a bad guy after all. He was a gentle and easy-going guy."Oh true. Thanks," I wiped the wet spot on my blue T-shirt off."Why do
Sapphire's POV. What I wanted and needed was for any guy I'd date or fall in love with again, to have a deep trust towards me. Cameron didn't have that, so it was clear he wasn't worthy of me neither was he the one for me. "Okay, I am on my way," Lisa answered Cameron, putting the notebook into her bag. "I will be back soon. Wait here for me," she said to me before leaving."Sure," I responded, watching her walk out through the door as she followed Cameron from behind. I took out my phone from my jean pockets to use it as a way of whiling away time, "Shit! It's damned low," I cussed, seeing that my phone was left with five bar and I might end up needing it In case there would be a need for me to call Aunt Karissa's line or the driver to come pick me up from campus.I tossed my phone into my bag with a heavy, bored sigh from my lips. I didn't feel like studying and no one was in class, meaning I was alone here and soon, I was sure I would get bored since my phone battery was almost
Sapphire's POV.I and Lisa tumbled to the ground as I fell on her, and the door came crashing open as it slammed against the wall."What the heck are you girls doing in here?!" The cleaner gasped, eyes wide open and our worse fear of she thinking wrongly of our sexuality seemed to be coming true. "And on top of each other too? Don't tell me you girls were...""No no no, it's nothing like that," I interjected, my heart hammering in my ribs as I got up from Lisa's body who was groaning underneath my weight. "We weren't doing anything of that sort. We only came here to catch up.. like have a conversation."She crossed her arms with her brows arched, "A conversation? In the Janitor's room..?" She asked with a disbelieving laugh. "Do I look like a kid to you? I know what I saw kiddo. You were making out with her!" Lisa shoved me aside, moving me behind her back as she came forward, "Don't misinterpret things here, ma'am. We aren't lesbians. And if we were making out, you would have caught
Lisa's POV. Sapphire dragged me down into the Janitor's room and slammed the door shut behind her quietly then locked it up with the keys. "Why did you bring me here? What's wrong that you had to pull me all the way from the class just to speak to me privately here?" I inquired, curious. But Sapphire had her arms crossed over her chest as she leaned onto the door, glaring hard at me. "What? Why are you glaring?" I was confused. "Quit the pretense, Lisa. I know about everything you've been hiding from me for so long. So you don't need to put on a clueless act anymore," My heart hit pit bottom the moment she said those words. What did she mean by that? "How could you? I thought we were friends and that as friends, we shouldn't hide anything from each other. But it's been so fucking long since we knew each other, yet you didn't bother to let me know? Do you really see me as someone who is untrustworthy that you can't tell your secrets to because I won't keep it within myself
Sapphire's POV. “No, ma'am. There’s been a change of plans. Madame Blue Rose has returned home early and has been asking for you.” The air seemed to leave my lungs, and I felt a sinking sensation in my stomach as my heart dropped! 'Oh No! What excuse am I going to give to her for taking so much time to get home?' A sudden horn of a motorcycle pierced into my ears and I jerked, turning to Aleric with frightened eyes. “I am counting on you, Sapphire. Don't let us down,” Aleric said on a serious note and a gulp ran down my throat nervously. I gave a slight nod of both understanding and assurance and Aleric gave me a full smile, patting my head twice before making a swift turn onto the street, riding off into the night on his wolf bike as the engines roared louder. I turned to Butler Adams who was staring at Aleric who had already ridden into the distance. “Who is he? You didn't tell me you've got a boyfriend at college already, Phire.” My cheeks flushed pink hue as I waved it
Sapphire's POV. Aleric's nod crushed my hopes. “Yes, they are. Your friends are the Gamma's children.” I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. “What?!” I exclaimed, my voice barely above a whisper. Just then, a sudden thud hit the rooftop and I whipped my head to the sound in an instant. “What was that?” I gasped, my heart racing with multiple thoughts. I couldn't believe that I had been kept in the shadows for so long not knowing how much my life was in danger by being surrounded by so many supernatural beings I had thought only existed in books. Aleric sighed tiredly, showing his exhaustion as he pinched the bridge of his nose. He spoke quietly, “I know what you're doing, dude. But quit at it. She's been frightened enough now. I wouldn't want her to pass out in my penthouse.” My heart still thumping fast with my hairs standing on my skin, my y brows furrowed, confused about who he was talking to, “Who are you talking to? Do you know what made that sound?” I inquired, moving cl
Aleric Dolce POV. Sapphire sat frozen to the ground, unable to move. Her eyes were filled with conflicting emotions as she stared back at me, stunned and too traumatized by everything she had experience, dark mascara streaked across her cheeks. She wasn't meant to see this. The existence of werewolves were meant to be hidden in secrets away from the eyes and ears of every human. But those drunk baboons were too foolish, too stupid and horny that they had to transform into a wolf to have their way with her. It was against the rules of this Pack for any werewolf to molest a woman, not to talk of shifting into a wolf before the eyes of a human, so I was left with no other choice than to do the necessary as the future Alpha of the Lykoria Pack and also fulfilling my responsibility of protecting my mate, which was to brutally kill them in the worse way possible for trying to have their way with my mate and for also traumatizing her after shifting into a creature she was never meant t
