JAVIER “Classic move, Bro.”I glanced at Ivan who was standing behind me and snickered as I watched Mia run into the hospital. I frowned, my brows furrowed in confusion. “What are you doing here? Did you follow us?” I asked him.I glanced at the man whose constant honking had interrupted the moment I was having with Mia and I scowled. He seemed to notice me and he scoffed. “You don't get all lovey-dovey in a hospital car park especially when you're parked wrongly,” he mumbled before stalking off toward the hospital. A low growl left my lips as I stared daggers at the back of his head while Ivan chuckled softly beside me. “Relax, Bro, he's not the cause of your problem,” Ivan laughed. I glared at him, “Seriously, what are you doing here?” Ivan shrugged, “I couldn't allow you to go alone without backup. What if you needed my help or something?”I raised an eyebrow at him, signifying that I didn't believe a word of what he said. “Okay, I wanted to know if you would try to convinc
MIA“How dare you show your face here after what you've done?!”My lips curled into a snarl as I glared at my uncle, fury washing over me as I remembered what he had done. “Is that what you say to someone who you just bumped into?” my uncle asked, adjusting his tie nervously. His eyes scanned the crowd nervously and I realized he was scared and probably scanning the crowd for cops. “I'm not alone,” I said to him.He cleared his throat nervously, “We can talk about this, Mia.”I walked away from him, my eyes scanning the crowd for any familiar face. “What are you doing here?” I asked him. “I came to check up on your mom,” he answered. I scoffed, “So you sold me off to become a whore and you're suddenly taking care of my mother?”“Whore? What are you talking about, Mia?” my uncle laughed nervously. “Don't pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about!” I snapped at him, “You and that doctor drugged me.”“He gave you an injection to help you relax. He said you won't be availa

A/N: Dedicated to Karin Mc and Tcee EkeLEONARDI woke up with a gasp, massaging my temples as I groaned and felt something dry at the back of my head. With the way my head was throbbing I knew that it was dried blood I had felt at the back of my head. “Rufus!” I yelled, standing up and looking around with a frown. The basement was empty and my new slave was nowhere to be found. “Rufus!” I snarled, my howl echoing through the house. I heard a slight mumble before footsteps thundered down the steps. “Where were you?” I asked with a snarl. “We got held up a little, someone broke in and tranquilized us,” he answered. My fist connected with his jaw instantly sending him flying backwards. I stood up and strode toward him as he raised his hand in surrender. “Please, Alpha, have mercy,” he pleaded. “What's your usefulness to me if you can't stop people from breaking into my home?” I yelled at him. He massaged his jaw, blood trickling down his lips, and raised his other hand in surr
MIA“That’s the man who kidnapped me!” I cried out the moment I saw Leo enter my mom’s ward. I ran toward the policeman and held him, hiding behind his back, fear evident in my eyes. “Please, help me, he's the man who kidnapped me, he's going to hurt me,” I cried. A flash of the fire poker he wanted to use and brand me flashed in my mind's eye and goosebumps crawled up my arms. “Please, calm down, Miss, you're coming with us to the station,” the policeman said. Leo walked up to him and smiled, “That won't be necessary now, Officer, I will take her back.”“Are you sure because…” Leonard interrupted him sharply, “Yes. That will be all thanks to you for your help.”As he walked up to me I attempted to run but he whispered in my ears.“How many seconds do you reckon I could snap your mother’s neck faster than you'd run out of here or even faster than the police can pull their trigger?” he asked. His question scared me as I stared at my mom’s peaceful face. I didn't want to drag her
MIAI woke up with a gasp as I looked around my surroundings and realized I was back in that same basement Javier had rescued me from. “Mmff!” I mumbled. My eyes widened in horror as I realized I was gagged.I tried to move my legs and I found out I was chained but fortunately, I wasn't in a cage. The basement was dimly lit and my head hurt like hell. There wasn't any blood or pain on my face and I vividly recalled his cruel words from earlier. “I wouldn't want to ruin your face, slave, I want to watch you cry as I tame you,” he had said earlier before he knocked me hard over the head and I passed out. “Mfffk!” I tried to scream but the gag in my mouth restricted me. “Keep quiet, your voice will only attract him here and I'm sure you don't want that,” a voice said behind me. Startled, I whirled around and saw a girl sitting at the edge of the wall. She was a bit hidden as the light in the basement didn't reach her face. “Oh hi, you're not alone here,” she chuckled wryly. “Wifh
JAVIERI held Ivan back as he rushed toward the man standing in our sitting room, a sad smile playing on his lips. “Is that how you welcome your father, Ivan?” the man asked a twinge of sadness in his tone. “You're dead to me!” Ivan snarled at him. “That's not how you're supposed to address me, Ivan, control your temper,” he said. I scoffed, “You’ve got some nerve coming back here, old man, and who do you think you are to tell Ivan what he should feel and shouldn't?” “Let me go so he would know exactly how my temper is!” Ivan snarled, struggling in my grip. I refused to loosen my grip while our father stared at us with that sad smile. His blue eyes looked sharp and he still looked the same as he had looked three years ago.The day he walked away from us, I mused sadly. “Why did you come back here, huh?” I asked him, trying to calm my anger and hold Ivan. Ivan was the most upset and hurt by my father’s leaving. He left at the most crucial time of our life. He was the main reaso
MIA “You dare to raise your filthy hands on me?!” I thundered, fury flowing through my veins as I stared at the terrified man in front of me. I didn't know what made me feel this way but I could feel the power inside me. It felt like I was one with it and if I just reached inside to tap a little of it then I would be able to burn down his home. “What the hell are you?!” he gaped in horror. “She’s my ticket out of here and your doom,” Cassie’s voice sounded behind me. I stared at the terrified face of Leo and it gave me joy. The thought of seeing him suffer so fearfully when he made others feel the same was amazing it sickened me. “What are you?” he asked again, amazement, curiosity, and panic all in his eyes. ‘I believe Cassie said we are his doom,’ the familiar voice piqued up inside me. ‘What the hell are you and what the hell is going on?’ I asked in my mind even though I was still enjoying my power flowing through me. ‘It’s finally nice to meet you, Mia, I'm Lynn, your wo
MIAThe next few days were all dark and gloomy, we had won the war but the cost was heavy and it was felt by everyone of us, most of all was Javier.For the first few days, we just holed up in the isolated house that Leo had found and there we passed days as we all tried to come to terms with what had just happened. But today was the day, the day we said goodbye for good.Ivan and Leo had decided that we would all mourn our dead on the same day. Leo handled all the preparation, that was the least that he could do, he said.The first few days were the worst, Javier blamed himself for everything even though we told him that it was Rylee’s fault that he had that evil put in him in the first place and even though he knew this himself, he still blamed himself.How could he not? I sympathized with him and as he hurt, we hurt too. He killed Olivia and then also went ahead to kill Bastien when trying to kill my mom who was protecting him from killing his own brother.It was a very horrible ex
MIAWhat was going on? I was supposed to be dead was I not? Instead, everywhere seemed bright and happy.Not the dark and cold embrace of death that took hold of me earlier, what was going on? I could feel the sunlight on my face and I could hear birds chirping happily in the distance.My hands went to my chest, to where the blade was plunged into me, I felt around the skin frantic, there was no scar, no depression, no sign that I had sustained any injury of any kind at all.I opened my eyes and looked around, I had to blink to adjust my eyes to the brightness that was all around me.I was lying in a field and I was wearing a short rosy gown as opposed to the dark blouse and the tight jeans I had on when I was stabbed.I sat up, the grasses were about two feet high and they were swaying in the soft breeze that was blowing, it was all I could see for miles, a field covered in green grasses and hills all around.I got up and walked through the grasses bare-foot, there was just something
IVANWith Mia captured, it was different, we were able to track her thanks to her mother, things were happening so fast that it felt like I would not even be able to keep up.Mia had been sent away by her mother and then Javier had attacked us and defeated all of us easily, he was about to end my life, my brother, and that was when Olivia stepped in.Why did she step in? Maybe she felt responsible somehow and was trying to make amends but that didn't work, she just ended up getting killed by the man she called her bestie, it was tragic.Now we were all in Bastien's car heading towards the site of the ritual. Sarcana had been able to track Mia to where she was being held.All that was on my mind at this point was to kick down the front door and rush in to rescue her, but I knew deep down we didn't have the strength to stop our adversaries, we were most likely going for a suicide mission."How are we going to take down all those guys and free Mia?" Leo asked.That was when Sarca
JAVIEREverything was dark all around me, I was wrapped up in a cocoon of darkness and I did not know what was happening in the world around me.Then without any warning, a powerful shockwave hit me and put a crack in my cocoon, a ray of light filtered in and I reached for it immediately and tore at the cocoon until there was a hole big enough for me to climb through.It then felt like I was slowly rising to the surface after being submerged in a deep dark liquid for too long, it took me a while to fully return to my senses and when I did, I was overwhelmed and confused.The first thing I noticed was all the chanting and screaming, there were a lot of people around, wolves, I could tell and then something else, I could smell death in the air, vampires too.I had never been in the company of so many of them before then I locked eyes with Mia and I remembered what I had done to her.Not just to her, to Olivia, to my brother, to her mother, to Bastien, and Leo, oh my goodness, I was such
MIASo the ritual was going to happen in an hour, which meant that was exactly how long I had left to live. I turned my gaze to Javier with pleading and tears in my eyes.He just stood there like a robot or a statue, looking past me and not seeing anything at all.Was I really to take the words of the high priest Antonio? Was Javier lost to me? A part of me still felt that he was my last hope, that somehow he was the solution to solving the problem that was right in front of me.The wolf bane in my system made me suddenly groggy, I was afraid that if I fell asleep now, it would be my last slumber. I had to find a way to fight this feeling, I needed to be awake for my remaining time on the planet.The more that I tried to fight the sleep, the more it attacked me until I had no choice but to close my eyelids and succumb to it.As soon as my eyes closed, I realized that I was indeed in a vision. This one was different in the sense that it forced itself upon me, usually, when I fell aslee
MIA"How can you say such a thing about my mate, Javier? He is not cursed!" I countered the high priest Antonio."I did not mean to offend you, chosen one, I was just saying things as I saw it. Javier Romanov is cursed by the prophesy, he is the harbinger of doom and there is nothing you or anyone else can do to change that.""No, you are wrong, there is always a way and I will find it," I said stubbornly.The high priest shook his head at me, "There are far more precious things for the chosen one to be doing than fixating over a lost cause.""He is not a lost cause, stop calling him that."He got up from his meditative stance, "We have waited for the chosen one for a while now and here you are finally. You have a lot to learn, you need to learn how to use your powers to stop the forces of darkness that are converging. Only you can do it.""I don't care about any of that," I snapped, "I only care about saving Javier."Antonio sighed, "I have told you, it is a lost cause.""Then I have
IVANMy heart felt bad for Mia, having to swap her out in the middle of a serious fight like this but I was totally on board with my dad's reasoning.We could all think better and work better without Mia here, if she was not around for us to worry about, we could focus on the task of getting my brother back."Where did you send her?" I asked her mom."I..." Bastien cut her off."Don't tell him," he commanded."What? What the hell is that supposed to mean?" I said, anger rising in my chest."It's not what you think son, better if only she knew exactly where Mia is, for security reasons.""You think that I would rat out my mate's location if I get tortured or something like that?""You might not have a choice, Rylee is a powerful psychic. The only one among us here that can counter her mental prowess is Sarcana. So it is best if only she knew where Mia was and besides," he looked at Leo, "You might not rat her out but someone else here might.""Great, keep treating me like a criminal wh
MIAMy mother's words filled me with a sense of doom and gloom and made me sick to the stomach. How could she say something like that? Did she not know what Javier meant to me? How could she say that there was nothing we could do about it?We just got him back after he had been on the brink of death for so long, and now we were losing him again to some strange curse that I had never heard of.Was it not possible for us to catch a break? "Mom, c'mon, you can't say that there must be something we can do to help him."She shook her head sadly at me, "I am sorry dear but this situation is out of our hands, all we can do now is take precautions."Leo was not having any of that, "Maybe you might have hit your head a little too hard because I think you said that Javier cannot be helped. Or am I the one who did not hear you right?""I'm sorry, Leo, this is dark magic, there is no way out of it," Sarcana said to him. She was more apologetic than usual."Like hell, there is nothing we can do? W
JAVIERIt was a shock to me that I was standing right there, so close to her. I wanted to reach out and rip out her throat but my body would not let me do that.I cussed inwardly, this was bad, by the looks of things she was the one responsible for what was happening to me, if I could just take her out, the spell or whatever the hell this was would be broken.She was still smiling and had not yet answered the question I asked her earlier, I repeated it with much difficulty, the dark liquid that I was drowning in made talking very difficult.“What the fuck do you want from me?” I said baring my teeth.“There is no point in a puppet asking its master what the goals of the master are. Its job is just to obey wordlessly and move as the master pulls its string.” She said and laughed hoarsely.I took another step forward, “I am not your damn puppet you sick witch, tell me how to break this spell.”She stopped smiling and locked eyes with me, “Why the hell would I do something like that? I c
