"What is this?" I asked Calix when he brought me to an old manor somewhere in north Manchester.Right after he had killed the black wolf Maximilian, he killed his two wives and Maximilian's people were killed by Henry and Lucius's other men. We left the place shortly. Then the day after, Calix brought me in this place with me having no idea what business are we going to do in this place."Your ancestor's manor. This is owned by Elena Ross, the mother of Elizabeth," Calix replied."Elena Ross? The name doesn't ring a bell. As far as I know, Grandma Elizabeth's mother named Celestine, not Elena.""Celestine…" He nodded. "Must be the name she used when she started a new life with her husband.""You mean she changed her name? But what for?" If it was Calix the one who said it, I'm sure it is not a fallacy or something. I don't know why it come to him; I trust easily. Why would he lie about this matter anyway?"Follow me," Calix said and walked inside the manor.I followed him and saw that
Before I could give any reaction, Calix kissed me again. He sucked on my lip, and just like a slave ruled by his master, my lip spontaneously opened. He gave me hard and unforgiving kisses. His arm was tight around my waist, while his other hand was on my nape, pulling it gently so I could open my mouth better for his deeper kiss.I was so close to his arm. I equaled his hot kisses with mine. His lips followed a provocative rhythm, kissing me in a skillful way, as if he had long mastered this art. I didn't know that just a kiss could get rid of guilt. This is it.So I was still very drunk when he withdrew the kiss. I catch my breath. He looked at me with dark weary eyes, lips parting a bit.I almost shivered when his hand touched my waist. Every flick of his tongue was full of ardor. I was so close to his shoulder when he lifted me and put me down to the lawn beside the glistening river.Crouching in front of me like a dominant hunter ready to end his long famine, he pulled my nape ag
When the helicopter landed in the island, I was in awe. There is no doubt that the place is amazing. The white sand, the crystal-clear waters, even the manor beyond the coast looked magnificent. I had already forgotten how it feels to be in such place, to enjoy nature and not worry anything else. I forgot that feeling, but now I do feel like it is coming back. I don't know why with Calix I'm starting to feel at ease despite everything that happened to me. It's not good news considering what kind of person he is.Calix is certainly not the type of person who would have that kind affection to someone. He is self-centered. He only thinks about his own business and what can benefit him. It's not bad to be self-centered, right. I'm just stating because people like him tend to view love as nothing but trash. Not that I love him. I don't love Calix It's just, I got a little weird feeling for him that I'm worried of."What do you think about the place, little wolf? Isn't it beautiful?" Calix
I really don't understand what's going on. What is the connection of Calix and the chief of werewolf council? What is the thing that caused the drift between them? Because it feels like they have known each other for a long time and there was something that caused chaos between them. And why is Elizabeth even involved in this? And why do I feel like the way Alec looks at me, it feels like had seen me so many times before, that he is very familiar with my face, when the truth is, I've never seen him before. I have never met him."She is mine, Alpha Calix. Hand her to me and I shall forgive you for your aggressiveness.""Forgive me? Did I even ask for your forgiveness? No, Alec. What shall you forgive me for?” Calix said with a playful, dark smirk that screams all his confidence and dominance.I want to ask Calix some questions, like what are they fighting with, but I figured that is a little out of the picture to do that now considering the rising tension in the air."And why are you e
"Why are you saying this to me now?” I asked Simon in confusion because I can’t seem to understand why he had to go to such extent just to prevent me from meeting Calix. If a person who has the ability to foresee the events in the future saw that time will come when me and Alec will meet, wasn’t it already a sign that it will happen no matter what measures we will take just to avoid it? It was already foreseen, meaning, fate has already decided and it could happen in different circumstances.“Because there is no point hiding the truth now that what I was scared of already happened,” Simon answered.“And you are out of the picture now. You can’t change the fact that Lory has a new life. So even if you had presented yourself as her mate and wants to take the responsibility to keep her, do you think you still have the right to do that? You don’t, so better back off and let me do the job since I’m his husband,” Calix said.“You don’t love her. You just want to use her against Alec because
I don’t know if I should trust Simon’s words after he lied and after all the pain he has inflicted to me, but that look in his eyes… it was like he is showing all the truth, his everything. The gentle look in his eyes made me feel that I can trust him again, that when it comes to me, all he is concerned of is my safety.I don’t want to believe it so much because I don’t want to cling on false hopes, but can’t I hope that it is true? Ever since I turned to a dark-blooded werewolf and knew my parents were dead as well as Jaxon, I kept on wishing so bad, I prayed so hard to have the power to turn back time. Or at least make this reality a dream and that I would just wake up with my family all well and me back to my normal life as an ordinary teenage girl studying in the nearest town college. I want to have that life so bad even if it means I would have to sacrifice my feelings and whatever I have with Calix. I would do everything just so I could have that. if there’s anything I could tra
"Lory…" Roselle looked at me with a sweet smile on her beautiful face. Franklin did the same and I felt like I have seen my second parents in them. I never thought the day would come that I will meet them again after what happened to me and Simon. I really don't know what good I did for meeting such wonderful people as them.And the way they looked at me… it was as if they were never mad to me. Like they understand what I felt and all the actions I did."Roselle… Franklin…" I uttered their names in a low voice, almost a whisper."You look good, huh." Thomas smirked at me mockingly. "And durable." He nodded to himself then his gaze dropped at Simon. His eyebrow was raised as if he's saying something to Simon through his mind.The corners of Simon's lips rose and he subtly shook his head.Our little reunion was only interrupted by Alpha Calix's growl.The sky darkened more and I saw angry eyes directed to us. He looked so mad and unforgiving, I could feel like he won't give this up, th
Is it really possible? To love two people at the same time? It's not normal, right? It shouldn't be like that. But then, if I have to choose between the two of them… at this point, I don't think I'm sure of what's the answer yet. I don't want to hurt anybody, especially Simon and Calix. But could I really avoid that if at the end of the day, I'd still have to choose one of them and drop the other? "So what is the answer, Lory. Do you still love him?" Alpha Calix went back to his question, cutting my thoughts about him being mateless. For some reason, I hoped that he had one and also felt happy that he hadn't. It's confusing, I see. But I hoped that he had one because if he had a mate, it would be easier for him to drop me, and I wouldn't have other choice but to go with Simon. Everything will be back to where it should belong. It won't be as complicated as this. But the dark side of me also felt happy that he didn't have one. It's selfish, I know, but who can blame me? I do love him
