"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

  • Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game   Chapter 58: Same face

    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

    "Harmed me physically? She hadn't. She just did so many things to provoke me. She's envious of everything I have, and I knew she wouldn't stop pissing me off until I leave Dad's place. I know I shouldn't have left because I'm the real daughter, but I figured I don't want to sacrifice Dad's relationship with his wife because of my issues with my evil stepsister. I had no choice."Looking back now, what if I stayed? Would I have stayed to be a human with my ordinary life?But thinking about it, if I stayed and never went to Lynnwood to live there… I don't think I would have a chance to meet Simon. And I wouldn't meet Calix too."Your stepsister is not an amazing person at all. A sane man won't take somoene like you for granted unless he's an asshole. I wanna go to your Dad's country and meet that boy sometime so I could teach him a lesson."I subtly glared at him."It felt like it happened long ago, it doesn't really bother me now, so you don't have to do that.""You sure? Because it wi

    Tears of joy rolled down my cheeks when I read what is written in the invitation delivered to me. Calix, who was carrying our little girl in his arms, went to me with an alarmed face when he saw my expression.“What is wrong?”I shook my head and smiled. “I’m just happy.”“Happy about what?”His eyes drifted to the invitation card I was holding.“Jaxon is getting married to his mate?” His gaze went back to me and I saw his worried face as if something is wrong with me, or that I feel bad about it and he wants to comfort me or something.“Yes.” Whoever this Lea is, I am happy that she filled the hollow part in Jaxon's heart. He is such a good man and I have been waiting for this day to come. For him to be finally happy again. For him to be loved again the way he deserves to be. And I feel so glad that I couldn’t help but burst to tears.“You are upset because he’s getting married,” Calix stated in a calm voice as if he understood clearly that I love another man aside from him.“No!

    After one month…As soon as I got out of bed I immediately felt nauseous. I quickly run towards the bathroom. I grabbed my hair and vomited on the sink.Early in the morning this is what happened. So I couldn't help but doubt that Lili's suspicion was true. From what I've heard, pregnant women sometimes have morning sickness.I heard the bathroom door open, I no longer bothered to look back because I was busy vomiting. No one enters my room without asking for permission first except Calix."Lory," his voice was soft.I thought he already left last night but here he is, fueling my irritation again."Why are you here? Get out! I don't need you here! You should leave me!"I tried to get out but he just blocked me. With our body's closeness, I can smell his manly perfume. I inhaled his scent. It's so fragrant I feel like I want to smell you all night.But I tried to ignore the feeling of wanting to hug and smell him all day."Don't block my way, Calix!"He sighed. A ghost of smile plaster

    Alec couldn’t speak in too much irritation and probably, anger. His eyes were so red, like the color of evil itself. The color of blood and war. The color of death. Yes, red can symbolize love like that of a rose. But it could symbolize many things such as what I have mentioned already.I know what I am doing is a big risk, but I have to try regardless. I need to save the innocent lives of those people who chose to stand by my side. They don’t deserve death like that especially when Alec is the one serving it. He is evil. His soul—if ever he has one which I doubt—deserves to rot in hell all together with his evil subordinates, especially Vienna. If only I am given a chance, I will really kill her. With the anger I am feeling for her, I won’t miss it for sure. She is just lucky that I am not capable enough to do that especially with the given circumstance. Because if only I was capable enough and there is no Alec blocking my way, I would have surely done it, given of course with the he

  • Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game   Chapter 82: Her game

    Back when I was young, my dream was simple. Stay out of troubles, help the pack, earn a degree, make a good career, marry my mate and have kids, maybe two or three. I envy those big families so I wanted to make my own. Maybe because I grew up in a broken family and I felt lonely. When Dad remarried to a woman who has a daughter same age as me, I thought I would finally have someone I can call as sister. I wanted a sibling. I wanted a normal happy family. But turns out that I would be kicked out in my own house because of her. Not that I was literally kicked out though since I left myself. But it is still the same for me because I knew I had no choice but to leave. It was getting worse every day and I don’t want Dad to worry about my issues. I went to Lynnwood, hoping I would calm down there and I also hoped that my stay in a new surrounding would bring good to me.However, looking back now, I can say that it brought me to something both good and bad. Staying in Lynnwood opened me to m

    I looked at myself in the mirror. I just stopped walking back and forth like some psycho who can't behave her ass. I also kept on checking my clothes, my hair, my face, and everything that could be noticed about me. Well, who can blame me? It's weekend today. The day I promised Calix that I would meet his parents in their home.The past few days, I have been really preparing myself for this even Calix told me many times that I have nothing to worry about. But isn't it normal for a wife to be nervous when meeting her husband's family for the first time?I looked at my outfit again. I was really torn earlier if I should wear something so feminine like a dress, skirt or if I should just be casual and have my usual attire when I am walking around Lynnwood – skinny jeans, fitted blouse, cardigan and sneakers. Though at the end, I decided to choose the latter since I am more comfortable with it.My hair was on loose, the mermaid curls naturally curling on the ends of my brown hair. I only p

    "Hi, Lory! It's good that you have accepted my invitation. Hello, Alpha Calix," Irish said enthusiastically with Peter beside her. We just met outside Lynnwood, in the establishment where we agreed to watch the new movie she was talking about."Hi, Lory and uh... Alpha Calix," Peter greeted me with a smile but when he mentioned Calix's name and his eyes drifted to him, his smile became uneasy. He looked suddenly nervous.I can't blame him. Calix is such effortlessly intimidating. You know, every time you look at him, the first thing you would notice is his intimidating air that is screaming with authority and dominance like no other. I know because I once experience to be initimidated with him so bad.Actually, Calix still do intimidate me sometimes, but I am much more comfortable with him now that we already have a relationship and we have the chance to know each other deep each day. I only feel awkward around him seldomly, when we talk about something or he does something that makes

    The whole time I was aware that I was falling, my eyes were close and there was still that fear that I might hit something down there. Though, the fear slowly faded when I felt how warm and hard the arms wrapped around my body were.Calix's not gonna do something that would hurt me. I hold onto that belief.And when I finally felt the cold water against my skin, I didn't hit onto anything. It was just the cold water, me holding my breath, and the ironclad body against me. I was about to move to swim up, but I froze when in the midst of coldness, I felt warm, soft lips that touched mine, easing the coldness and my fears away.I almost forgot that I couldn't breathe underwater, but with Calix giving me enough air as he kissed me, I had completely forgotten where we are and how cold the water was.I was to carried away that I didn't notice Calix was already swimming our way upward with his ironclad arm around me. The next thing I knew, we were already on the water's surface. He gave me e

    “Isn't she the luna of Alpha Calix?"I’m feeling dizzy and my body feels sore everywhere but I still did my best to open my eyes. The first thing that met my gaze was a bright light. It blinded me for a moment.Am I in heaven?That’s possible. I remember falling off the cliff after being chased by my pack. It’s just reasonable that I’m dead by now.I felt a warm thing that touched my face. A finger, perhaps. It pressed on my cheek, which startled me.I moved my eyelids up, this time wider. There’s still that blinding light but as I try to focus my gaze, I realize it’s the sky.“She’s awake.” I dropped my gaze on the little boy on my right. He’s quite young. Around four or five, I guess. He stared at me with curiosity and worry in his bright brown eyes.When the cold wind blew, that was when I knew I’m soaking wet. I looked on my left and saw an older boy. He’s obviously younger than me. He has the same bright brown eyes the small boy has, so I assume they are siblings. Both of them ar

    "Did you know what pack they are from, Alpha Calix?" Gideon asked after the invited guests were completely wiped out. "No traces in their swords and daggers, nor in their bodies. And no one dared to speak." "What pack must be behind of this?" it was from Henry. There many assassin guilds but the biggest and most prominent is ours, the reason why we have a lot of enemies. This did not happen only once that was why we were not surprised of the attack. "That is hard to know since we have a lot of enemies," I said before walking out from the group. "Where are you going? We are still in a meeting." Henry is such a nuisance. He really gets into my nerves most of the time. "I need to prepare for my mission tomorrow." Before he could talk more, I was already out of the room. The following night, I left the manor before sunset as what I have planned. It was already dark when I arrived at the Dark Valley where the base of Raven pack was situated. Wolf shifters have very sharp sense of sm
