Sapphire's POV."Let go of my arm and give me the damned answers I demanded you bastard," I yelled infuriatedly. I was utterly mad at him. The anger from earlier on steamed within me, but Aleric didn't say a word as he twisted my arm harder. I could feel the joints of bone twisting in a different direction like it was going to separate any moment from now if he continued."You're hurting me, Aleric! Let go of my arm!" I yelled, fighting hard to hide my discomfort. I felt my eyes slowly rimmed and glistened with unshed tears; the pain was like a gradual torture that was way more unbearable compared to when the terrifying man had gripped my jaw with his fingers. "Aleric, I command you to stop! If you don't then you'll force me to report to the president and make sure you get expelled from college if you don't end this torture! You're bullying me, Aleric. You are a motherfucking bully!" I screamed my lungs at him, my voice cracking into low sobs. "Maybe I will... Maybe when you learn
"What on earth Is wrong with you?!" I yelled once I managed to break free from Aleric's hold, furry obvious through my eyes as I raised my hand to run a hot slap across his face, a slap that would set his brain straight and make him respect me and every other woman out there. How dare he whisper such unpleasant words to me in front of everyone present. Now I see why he's always been around me, forcefully kissing me without my consent. I see why he got mad when Cameron touched me. He wants my body; he wants to fuck me badly as a way to get revenge on me for kicking his groin earlier yesterday. But to my astonishment, my hand was caught in the air by my wrist as Aleric held eye contact with mine, his gaze sharp and a smug smile curling up his lips. "Do you realize how slow and frequent your slaps have been recently, Bumblebee? How would you feel if I raised my hand at you the same way you wanted to? Would it make you feel good, perhaps?" He asked but I had no words to respond wi
Sapphire's POV My gaze moved to the entrance of the court, my eyes watering as the urge to weep grew within my chest, "Lisa." I whispered, tears rolling down my cheeks at the sight of Lisa stepping onto the basketball court."Let Sapphire go, and I promise that she won't ever repeat the nonsense she did today, Aleric," Lisa said to Aleric as she continued walking up to us.Aleric slid his hand out of my skirt but did not let me go. "Stop right there," he commanded and Lisa did as she was told without saying a word. "Why are you here?" Aleric questioned, his tone cold and Indifferent. "I'm here for her. I'm sorry for going against you by coming here, but I warned her. I told her to stay away from me and my brother, from your territory too. But she was just _ just too stubborn to listen to me!" Lisa complained, averting her gaze to me as she glared at me, her eyes silently saying I Warned You But You Didn't Listen, Did You? This is so embarrassing. Our position, my torn clothes, Al
Sapphire's POV"You got lucky today, Bumblebee." Aleric chuckled, lighting up another cigarette as he strolled and stopped before me, a grin spread across his face. "But always feel free to break my rules, okay? What are the rules made for if they don't get broken? Breaking the rules is fun, but punishments for breaking them are even much better than you'd expect," He snickered, puffing a thick wisp of smoke from the cigarette onto my face.Cough cough.I waved my hand in the air as I coughed, not liking the smell of the cigarette.Aleric laughed at me as I waved my hand in to move the smoke off my face. Once the smoke died down, I muttered a cuss low enough not to be heard as I tied the scarf around my neck since I don't have a pin with me but I froze when I felt his finger lightly brushing my hair away and tucked it behind my ear. "Cuss me all you want, bumblebee. But I bet that you will moan my name louder than you've ever cussed this devil here as I fill your slutty hole with m
Sapphire's POV.He turned and left with his hands in his silvercrest jacket, striding away without saying a word of acknowledgment. I could only watch his retreating figure, dumbfounded by his actions and everything that's happened today.I didn't realize when Aunt Karissa zoomed into the parking lot till I heard the horn of her car, which jolted me out of my thoughts, and I turned to her. Aunt Karissa rolled down the window shield, "What were you staring at, Phire?" She asked, but I didn't respond as I silently opened the door, got into the front seat, and slumped backward tiredly on the car headrest.I felt Aunt Karissa's gaze on me, and I turned my gaze to look at her; she seemed worried, but it was replaced with a gorgeous smile like the worry she had on her face was never there."You seem tired. Did anything happen today?" She inspected, placing the back of her palm on my forehead to check my temperature and her brows furrowed in astonishment. "You're running a high fever, Phir
Sapphire's POV. "There was a package that arrived here for you a few minutes ago while you were in your room, Young miss," Butler Adams informed, and I choked on my soup midway, Aleric's words in the basketball court replaying in my head.*I will let her off. But in return, a package would be sent to her home. She must accept the package and do whatever that's written in the package. No?*A chill ran down my spine as I gulped hard, my hold on my spoon tightening once I realized that the package must've been what Aleric told me and Lisa about. He made it clear that he would send the package to my house and I must accept what was in it. I couldn't help wondering what could be inside the package. What could Aleric have sent to my house? My curiosity took over. Biting hard on my lower lip, I moved my gaze to Butler Adams as I broke the silence, "Where is it?" I asked and Butler Adams went over to the center table where a square box wrapped perfectly in a black wrapping paper was plac
Matteo Rossi POV. As I pushed open the door to the garage in the east wing of Lykoria, next to Aleric's penthouse, I found him focused on his bike. A lighted cigar hung between his lips as he revved the bike he bought four months ago, the engine roaring to life and a belching dark smoke coming out from the exhaust. It looks like there’s a problem with the exhaust of his all-too-good bike after all. I mused with a chuckle, a snickering grin crawling up my lip as I grabbed a stool from a nearby table and settled on it silently. "Have you delivered it to her?" Aleric asked, still working on his bike. "Hm_m," I hummed in response. "But I have a question though." "What's that?" He inquired, but I didn't respond because I knew he must have an idea about what I wanted to ask. "If it's about the human bitch then it's still the same answer as before." I scoffed because I was aware that Aleric was hiding something from me. "You can't tell me that your reason for sexually bu
Matteo Rossi POV.He removed the cigar from his lips and asked, "What did you just say?"I watched him stand tall, walking up to me with calculated steps, his golden eyes glowing and his jaw gnashing as his gum itched, about to let out his fangs as his face darkened while glaring hard at me. But you know what? I didn't give a damn as I sneered at him, "You heard me right, Aleric. I know that bitch also known as Sapphire Walters is your mate. You can't hide it from me for far too long, Dude.""She's not my mate! A fucking human can never be my mate, Matteo! Don't you know the consequences and dangers we all would be in if I'm given a human as my mate?!" He growled at me."But you are already given one by the so-called moon goddess y'all believe in, Aleric! Are you just going to reject her or you'll keep on sexually bullying her, you this motherfucker!" I retorted, standing my ground. Yes. I was fully aware that the human girl was Aleric's mate due to how he's been unusually reacting
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
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.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
