DIABLO IS COMING

2022-05-17 19:38:13The entire atmosphere in the mansion didn't lighten up even after news spread of Alexander's verdict and his decision to chose peace. If anything, everywhere grew more tense and pensive and snatches of conversations made it clear to me that I was nobody's favourite person at the moment.
Just yesterday, I had heard snatches of gossip from the kitchen maids as they washed up the day's dishes, their tongues sharp and poisonous and slashing cuts into my skin.
"She has him wrapped around her fingers, I'm telling you." One of them had hissed, soaking up a charred pot to wash up later. "She's not good for our Alpha."
"She's actually going to get us all killed and Alpha Alexander should be wiser than that. Who invites their own enemy to a tea party?"
"We're all doomed, I'm telling you. I would have left Silver Dawn but my indenture isn't up yet."
"Me too. We're stuck here together, Clair."
I had sighed and walked away, pretending I didn't hear them,

My ears were ringing with the absurdity of that statement."Well, hello, brother."I couldn't believe it. My ears were playing tricks on me. This must all be part of a dream I hadn't waken up from. Because Alexander's brother was dead. Or supposed to be, at least.I looked at Alexander and a myriad of emotions washed through his face. Disbelief. Guilt. Relief. Dread. And finally, fear.I had never seen him at a loss for words, completely frozen and so pale, he looked like death. Finally, his lips cracked open and he whispered one word, "Cassius."Even the name rocked me to my core, eliciting a shiver that trotted down my spine.I looked at the man only to see annoyance flash across his wickedly beautiful face. "Diablo," he corrected with a voice so deceptively smooth, I almost lulled at the tone of it. "The name's Diablo now."Alexander's lips split into a relieved smile, "oh my god, it IS you. How is this possible?" His face contorted into an incredulous look, relief, pouring from h

Cassius' PovI never thought I'd be back here. It never occurred to me that they'd deliver themselves up to me like an offering and play right into my hands.We had retreated back into the house to draw up a better binding contract to solidify our agreement and sign on it to keep our ends of the bargain.I scoffed internally. Like a fucking piece of paper and some ink would hold me back from the havoc I was going to wreck on this pack. This dreadful pack was a blight that bled spite and bigotry from its pores. That puffed their chests with pompous pride and importance. That bred its pups to do the same.The idiot actually thought that the other packs will pay him heed.He had always been so full of himself, even when he was just a kid. Affecting more importance than he was worth.Hopeless, naive fool.Nobody will come to Silver Dawn's aid. The others will wait until the proud pack has fallen. They'll even be too happy to stand on the sidelines and watch. And by the time I'm done with

I didn't quite believe it when I first heard it. But the visiting alpha taking over his former room had all but confirmed everything;Alexander had asked his brother to stay behind and even went on to prepare a banquet in honour of him... The brother who insisted that everyone call him the devil.Except you though, a voice slithered into my head, sending shivers snaking down my spine.I rubbed my elbow and chewed on my lip nervously, worried about his weird fixation on me. And mine on him.He made me feel things, stirring something in that part of me that should be numb to anoher man's advances. He would catch my eyes and give me a knowing look, mischievous fire sparking in his eyes. As if I was in on a secret he was keeping from the others.I was aware of his presence in a way that made me feel antsy and anxious. My gaze dragged to him whenever he was near, even when I didn't will it, and there was a ball of desire churning tirelessly in my lower abdomen whenever our eyes met, even i

I swallowed audibly as Alexander considered my request, his forehead furrowing a bit, deep in thought. "You said he just wants to show you around?" He asked for the umpteenth time. "Yes," I fumbled with my finger. "I think I need some fresh air and time away from this house. I've been cooked up in here too long and I don't know what the rest of Silver Dawn looks like." A guilty look flashed across his eyes and I winced as a wave of uneasiness washed over me. I felt horrible for lying to him but Sean did say that I wasn't supposed to let him know. And the last thing I wanted to do was put my potential friend in trouble. "You're right," he sighed, rubbing his forehead. "You should feel free to go out as you please, but does it have to be this late at night?" My eyes widened. I hadn't thought that part out. He was leaving for an important business trip to a neighbouring pack tonight and he wasn't going to be around to see me return late. Something I was thankful about. Still, 5pm

"You're mine, Venus." The voice was dark, familiar and far away. "I will raze this goddamn pack before I let any harm come to you."A solemn oath. The whisper of a promise.I floated in and out of consciousness, not sure if Cassius had really said those words, or if they were broken remnants of my shattered dreams.I finally roused awake the next morning, nauseous and sick to my stomach, my head spinning wildly. The sun rays slashed across my skin, pricking me like a thousand tiny needles. I pried my eyes open only to be hit by a wave of nausea so strong, I shut them back immediately."Ouch," I moaned, my hands coming up to hold my head, my heart pounding in my head, a headache starting to cant a new beat in my skull."Venus," I heard a familiar voice, the sound of someone scampering over to my bedside in a rustle of tulle and fabric.I opened my eyes slowly to see June staring back down at me, obstructing the biting sun rays. Her beautiful face was pinched into a worried look, concer

Alexander's lips traced a fiery path across my jaw bone, reaching up to whisper into my ears. "You look very lovely, tonight, Venus."I let out an incomprehensible whisper that was a cross between a moan and an incoherent mumble and one of his hands pressed into the curve of my waste, pressing me to him, his other hand disappearing under the slit of my dress to caress my thighs.My entire body was trembling with delirious need. I wanted to melt into him but I didn't know what to do with my hands that wouldn't stop shaking."I wish I could show you how much I appreciate you in that dress."Another unintelligible groan escaped my lips as his fingers travelled upwards.You know, in hindsight, I blame June for all of this.While prior to now, she had chosen ball gowns with tight bodices and bogus skirts, tonight, she dresses me in a stunning silver gown that clung to my body in all the right places, leaving very little to the imagination.

His strong hand immediately clasped around mine and I felt the raw, electrifying power thrumming from his soul.It was exhilarating. Intoxicating. Making me want to share in his obscene amount of power. He smiled a twisted smile at me, almost like he could hear my thoughts and I swallowed and tried to school myself into cool nonchalance.He pulled me to his side, "not with me. You don't have to pretend with me.""I'm not pretending," I lied, swallowing a nervous lump.His knowing look told me that I was full of shit.I frowned, glowering at him and he only laughed and grinned contently to himself, leading us to the middle of the dancefloor.My breath stuttered out of my throat and I noticed everyone had stopped what they were doing and were now staring at us, collectively holding their breath.

Ophelia was heaving, livid and angry and I was about to ask what I did wrong now when she shoved me, her eyes, greener than I've ever seen them sparked with rage."You're such a goddamn slut!" I stopped breathing for a moment, catching myself and leaning against the sink to stop myself from falling. My throat tightened around the lump wedged there. "W- what are you talking about?" "I can see right through your pretensious face, you annoying fucking whore."I swallowed, "look, Ophelia, I have no idea what any of this is about. And you're one to talk, seeing as all you did was sleep with Alexander for favours-"I didn't expect it. Didn't see it coming. She lurched at me, completely overtaken by rage and slapped me hard across the cheek. So hard that I slammed against the mirror.I heard the distinct sound of glass shattering, an almost far off sound, like I had detached completely from my body.I heard her turn the lock on the door, locking us in, completely seizing the breath from
