CHAPTER 14 - KLAUS POV.EARLIER THAT DAY.“Is that why you came back?” I stopped Vincent as he wanted to escape me, I tucked my hands in my pocket with my jaw set.“Answer me!” I bellowed when he kept quiet.He chucked darkly, turning to me with a smirk. “If I say yes what can you do? After all, the council is forcing to break your mate bond with her.”I sped to where he stood in a zap of anger, my hands clutching his fucking throat tightly as my claws slowly elongated painfully into his skin.I leaned in, my body boiling with anger. “Davina is off limits, if I want to give her up because of my responsibility as the Alpha I would, but I would make sure she has nothing to do with you.”I pulled away from him, storming off as his coughs rang through the hallway. I would have fucking killed him!“What the hell Klaus, get a grip on yourself!” I chided myself as I fisted the mirror in my restroom.My sharp green eyes stared right back at me in different fragmented broken pieces.‘You can't
CHAPTER 15 - DAVINAShe needed no one to tell her to remain put in her room, or rather - prison. She hadn't seen Klaus in the past few days and she was itching to.His scent overwhelmed her entire being, the feeling of electricity rushing down her spine as he held her in his arms. Those were feelings she wanted to experience.What she felt was far from that. She felt like a useless damsel in distress waiting for her knight in shining armor. It was all dreams and farce, because Klaus was far from being a knight in shining armor.He was dangerous, with malicious intent. He probably hated her father for killing his parents. But why then would he keep the killer of his parents close to him?Her mind was dangerously going down a part she didn't want it to, so she managed to summon up courage. Why in the world would she be dying for answers when the person who would provide them was just a few offices or blocks away.Davina stormed to Klaus' office which was the last floor of his area in the
CHAPTER 16Leaving Davina’s room the day before made his heart feel very empty, he couldn't believe that he could actually be this weak.No! There has to be another way.Klaus' mind spun. This is what he'd wanted. Now no one could tell him to give Davina up. Warner has gathered them again to discuss on Klaus choice on giving up his mate.Warner leaned forward. "You might have noticed that when, at the end of their lives, a werewolf's mate dies before them, the wolf soon follows. It's a mercy, apparently. Something built into us. But when we lose our mates young and our bodies aren't ready to stop, it's our minds that go.""Klaus wouldn't go mad," Nathaniel said. "He's the strongest among us.""Yes," Klaus said. "But what you need to ask yourself is what happens to the pack if their Alpha loses his mind?""Chaos," Warner whispered. "Your willingness to sacrifice your mate is honorable, but you can't do it. You can't let her go or it will be much, much worse for all of us."Klaus' eyes
CHAPTER 17 - AUTHOR POV.Davina's fingers trailed lightly over the map sprawled out on the table, her brow furrowed in concentration. "So the Humans Firsters have been spotted here, and here," she said, tapping two locations on the map. "And you said there were more of them than expected?"Klaus nodded grimly. "Nathaniel reported that the numbers were greater than we anticipated. They're clearly gearing up for a full-scale assault."Cael let out a low growl. "Those bastards. They have no idea what they're up against."Nathaniel, who was standing beside Cael, placed a hand on his friend's shoulder. "Easy. Getting worked up won't help us now. We need to focus on strategy."Klaus appreciated Nathaniel's level-headed approach. As much as he wanted to tear the Humans Firsters apart with his bare hands, he knew that keeping a cool head would be crucial in the battles to come."Nathaniel's right," Klaus said, his gaze sweeping across the faces of his most trusted advisors. "We need to be tact
As Davina sat in her room, poring over the maps and books she had collected from the library, her mind raced with the possibilities of escape. She knew she had to act fast if she wanted to leave the castle before the General and his followers discovered her absence. The stakes were high, and she couldn't afford to make any mistakes.She studied the maps intently, committing the layout of the castle to memory. Every corridor, every room, every possible exit was etched into her mind, a mental blueprint for her escape. But as she plotted her route, doubts crept in. Would she be able to navigate the maze-like halls without getting caught? Could she really outsmart the werewolves who guarded the castle?A knock at the door interrupted her thoughts, causing her heart to skip a beat. It was Lucas, her ever-watchful guard, his expression neutral as he entered the room. Davina forced a smile, feigning interest in the books she had borrowed. "Lucas, do you mind if I ask you a question about wer
Klaus couldn’t wait to get to Davina, but his people threw one obstacle after another into his path. He’d hoped to eat dinner with her, but now dinner was long past. That wouldn’t stop him, though. As he strode toward her room, finally done with all the distractions, he called Ivy to have champagne and strawberries delivered and to have someone come and start a fire in Davina’s fireplace. He wanted everything to be perfect.He couldn’t guarantee they’d make love tonight. If she didn’t want to, then they wouldn’t. But that didn’t mean he couldn’t try to seduce her and at least pave the way for making her completely his in the near future. And maybe, if he played his cards right, he could make her his tonight.His stomach flip-flopped as he nodded at Heath and knocked on Davina’s door. Their relationship so far had been contentious. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. And even though he’d now accepted that he would never give her up, she knew nothing of his visit to the Elders or the ch
Klaus brushed his fingertips along the top edges of her bra. “Very pretty. Are all your bras like this?”She paused a second, just long enough for him to remember that this was the only bra she had with her, then said, “I like pretty lingerie. It makes me feel good and no one can see it. Not too lacey, though. Lace scratches my skin.”He’d buy her dressers full of lingerie, pretty things that only the two of them would ever see. And maybe some naughty items, too.His fingers stroked her, moving over her bra and finding the hard nub of her nipple underneath. “It would be a sin to scratch skin as soft as yours.” He ran his fingernail over her nipple, just a light flick.“That feels good.” Her voice sounded a little breathless.“I’ll remember that.” He wanted to know everything that made her feel good, that made her squirm and want him. And he didn’t know if it would be more fun to discover each touch and lick that turned her on or to know them and play her like an instrument, one orgasm
What had started out as a seduction had become so much more. Davina could barely remember her goal of leaving; she could think of nothing but Klaus. Kissing him, holding him–she couldn’t remember the last time she’d felt so completely safe, so loved.And there was the problem, of course. How could she knowingly hurt a man like Klaus? He wasn’t some ruthless captor. She genuinely liked him. But when she left him, she’d hurt him deeply.She wanted to stay.But she couldn’t. Too many people would die. If she left, she had the chance of stopping this war before it got started.Klaus broke their kiss, changing it into a series of small nips and pecks. His hand gripped her hip and pinned her to the floor. “Now stop, little minx. I want to see you.” He reared up on his elbow and gazed at her, starting at her face and moving slowly down her body. It almost felt like he touched her as he went along, yet his hand stayed firm on her hip, holding her in place.Davina shivered.“Cold?”“No.” Her v
Kiss Her (Klaus’ POV)Klaus was being tortured, not just by one, but by three different kinds of power. Her veins stood out on the back of her hands, and her body continued to burn.I carried her back to the bed and prepared a basin of water to wipe her with. I needed to get her temperature down first.No medicine could help her, and from what I had just seen, the painkillers didn’t do much, either.If Klaus’s fever continued much longer, her body might burn to ashes before it could explode.Towels were changed one after another, the basin emptied and refilled repeatedly. The blood curse was so potent that several towels caught sparks of flames as soon as they made contact with her skin. I couldn’t even imagine the pain Klaus must be going through.The blood stains on her body were cleaned, but she was sweating endlessly.I stared at her face, twisted in agony, and my heart ached. I didn’t even understand why I was reacting like that, but I was adamant about not letting her die. I ref
You’ll Explode (Davina’s POV)I had never felt so horrible before. A burst of extremely violent energy was circulating in my body, stripping me of my strength and sanity, and forcing me to surrender.My heart was racing wildly, as if it was about to escape from my chest. At the same time, my body temperature also fluctuated drastically. Sometimes I was too hot, and at other times I was too cold.Some mechanism seemed to have activated both my lycan power and black witch power, and they burst forth from my body.Although I had regained my powers, I had lost all control over them now. The two powers were tearing my body apart.In the past, I had the energy to subdue the power of the black witch blood. I could also balance my lycan power with my black witch power, but now I just couldn’t handle it.Even worse, a third force was trying to destroy the balance between them, attempting to seize control.I felt intense pain in every inch of my body My powers had gone berserk, and my sanity ha
A Horrible Ceremony (Davina’s POV)I struggled and cursed, repeatedly using my strength to free myself, but I failed miserably. Lee extended his f*ingers to pinch my lips and whispered in my ear, “Be quiet. If you keep being noisy, I will have to cut your tongue off.” I shot him a murderous glare.Lee placed his palm over my eyes and sighed. “Don’t look at me like that, or I’ll want to scoop out your gorgeous eyes and make them a specimen.”I shivered slightly, but finally managed to restrain my anger and shut up.“Good girl.” Lee gave me a satisfied smile. Then he dipped his index f*inger into the pool of blood on my body and drew a strange pattern on my chest.It felt like some kind of ancient spell.His icy f*ingers traveled from my chest to my belly and then to my back. He seemed to be wrapping me with the invisible lines he drew. My entire body felt uncomfortable and I was getting increasingly uneasy. He seemed to be offering me as a sacrifice. I recalled his prayer and repentanc
The Little Prince (Klaus’ POV)I soothed Arron until he calmed down. I then picked him up and we continued on our way. My heart prickled with fear and worry. The things that Arron had just said matched the pink-masked clown’s claims. I needed to find Crystal as soon as possible.“No, you’re going the in the wrong direction. This isn’t the way to Mommy!” Arron was slapping my arm frantically in a bid to make me stop. He twisted his tiny body and pointed in another direction. “It’s that way. We need to go there to save Mommy.”I blinked at him in a mix of surprise and bafflement. “How do you even know where she is? Weren’t you unconscious just now?’Arron scrunched up his adorable brows. “I don’t know how to explain it, but I just know. I’ve always had some telepathic abilities, ever since I was a baby. I can just tell. Maybe it’s because Mommy and I are connected.”I nodded, even as I processed this new information. Arron seemed to possess a keen sense of connection to his surroundings
To ensure that I didn’t alert the clowns, I made a hushing sound as soon as I entered the room. The kids caught a whiff of my scent and quietened down.“Sir, why did you come here again? What are those bad people doing next door? They’re making so much noise. Are they trying to capture you?” the little girl who had beautiful blue eyes asked in a curious voice.“Yes. I’m in some trouble now, but it is nothing to worry about. They may come inside and ask you if you’ve seen me. Just tell them that you haven’t, got it?” I said as I shut the door.“Okay.” The little girl vigorously nodded her head, and then turned her attention back to the food I had brought them“Good girl,” I said in a comforting voice.At this time, the other children next to her also began to chime in.“None of us will tell them we’ve seen you.”“We won’t say anything.” They chorused in sweet but firm voices. “Aren’t you all scared?” My spirits sank a little. They were just kids. Why did they have to endure such terrib
Davina's POV:A blush flamed my cheeks as I let Klaus Dress me.If I hadn't begged him to stop, he wouldn't have let go of me.It was all my fault; I flirted with him and ignited his desire.Now, I was weak in my knees; my legs refused to carry the weight of my body.The rain grew heavier, and water began to accumulate in the pit."Let's get out of here as soon as possible.Otherwise, we will get drowned in water," I said to Rufus.Klaus Nodded and picked me in his arms."Let's go up first.""No.I can walk by myself." I gently patted his arm, gesturing for him to put me down."Don't you want me to hold you in my arms?" Klaus Frowned in disagreement."It'll be faster if I carry you. You can barely stand still now."Klaus seemed overbearing and clingy for the first time.I looked at him helplessly."I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of the pit if you hold me in your arms." Klaus looked up, examining the height of the pit."With the springing ability of the werewolf, I'll effortlessly
Klaus' POV:After getting some useful information from Flora, I headed out to the equipment room to check.The skylight was very high from the floor.My heart sank when I estimated the height.If Davina jumped from here, she would have undoubtedly gotten injured.I could see footprints and dried bloodstains on the ground.I followed the trace, and it led me to the forbidden forest.The place was eerily silent, and I didn't see anyone on the way.My stomach began to churn with anxiety and unease.The bloodstains disappeared before the forbidden forest.Just then, the sun began to sink into the mountains, and the mist grew thicker, enveloping the trees and mountains."I didn't think Davina would have entered the forbidden forest.There are no footprints here," my wolf, Omar, said worriedly.However, that was precisely why I grew suspicious.The traces had disappeared all of a sudden, which seemed to worry me."The footprints tell that Davina has run all the way here in a mess." I squatted an
Warren's POV:I was so scared that I jumped up from the floor.Then, I realized that I was naked and subconsciously covered my lower body with my hands."Big deal! I've seen your body, and even touched it," the girl said coldly.Judging from her cool demeanor, I sensed she hadn't heard the noise outside.My ears burned with embarrassment.I quickly put on my clothes.Before I could explain, the noise outside grew louder.The girl finally heard the noises and hoisted herself up in a fit of panic.She paced across the room and said, "What should we do? Someone is coming! We can't let others see us like this!""Use that skylight on the ceiling."I looked up at the only source of light in the room and held the girl's hand."Yes, yes.Why didn't I think of that?"The girl clambered up the ladder.When she was halfway through, her face darkened."This ladder is short and doesn't reach the window.I don't think I'd make it outside."The voices outside grew loud, and Harry's was the loudest."No
FLORA'S POV:Blair gave me a suspicious look and seemed to have something to ask me.But in the end, he gave up and threw the key to the equipment room to Tom.Then he waved at us, gesturing us to leave.On the way, I deliberately walked slower than Tom to just follow behind him, eager to take action.When we finally reached a corner where no one was around, I rushed over and hit Tom's head directly.I wanted to knock him out.However, my hand hurt so much, but Tom stood still and even turned his head to glare at me.I smiled awkwardly."That...was an accident...I.. I tripped..."Obviously, my excuse was too far–fetched.Of course, Tom didn't buy it.He grabbed my collar with one hand and asked, "Are you challenging me?"Now that he had already seen through me, I pushed his hand away and rushed up to fight with him!"Harry, come on! Hurry and help me!"I jumped onto Tom's back and pulled his mouth with both hands.Then I shouted at Harry, "Hit him!""What is going on?"Although Harry wa
