Fated Mates, Forbidden Love One hundred and Twenty seven
Alexis My feet hurried through the bustling school corridors and I was headed to the library. I had to do something to fix my grades, especially now that I was in senior high when it was a humiliation to flunk out. I had to maintain a good student persona and not get distracted by Craig and the damn staff of authority. Craig had his future set. He was great at sports and his dad was so influential that he had a spot in the best universities. My cred was already bad after returning from rehab. Knowing that if I didn't study enough, I could miss out on graduation fuelled my drive. It began drizzling as soon as I got to the library. The building was quiet as usual, with a few werewolves studying in groups and vampires reading on their own. I ducked my head at the sight of Westin who was browsing through the shelves. The last thing I wanted was to chitchat. After finding an empty table tucked away in a quiet corner away from prying eyes, I fished out my calculus textbook, determine

Dora's POV A/N: Dora is Craig’s nanny. Darkness was seeping in through the cracks in King Craigislav’s castle. The maids and I hid silently behind the thick curtains, watching the uproar unfold. The castle was in chaos and every occupant, from the king to the lowest servant was on edge. Servants whispered among themselves, sages and alchemists were frightened, and even the castle guards who were usually stoic and inexpressive feared for the loss of their jobs. At first, it seemed as a joke that the king's staff was missing and I wondered how it had left the building without the king's knowledge, but I also knew the truth. No other person could have done this. The king's unfaithful wife, Elvira, and the stupid head of security he trusted implicitly were the center of it all. It was sad that King Craigislav couldn't see the truth. One would have expected me to speak the truth by now, but I held my tongue because sometimes silence was golden. Also, the queen was powerful enough

Alexis Against my will, I glanced around the class, checking the vampire section for any sight of Craig. He was nowhere in sight and my burden grew by the second, wondering what was up with him. No matter how hard I tried to focus on the lesson, my mind kept drifting back to his absence. My cheeks burned in shame for investing my feelings in that douchebag who couldn't care less about me. "Tara, have you seen Craig today?" I pulled her hair aside and whispered in her ear. Tara gasped, turning slowly to face me with eyes wide like two boiled eggs. "What the fuck, Alexis?" She glared at me, " Why are you asking me about that stupid boy?" I sighed, drawing doodles in my book. "It's nothing personal. I just... Well, we have to discuss our project." Tara relaxed, shrugging nonchalantly. "I don't care about him or any bloodsucker. Maybe he caught some STD or something." Her chin geared back and she burst into loud laughter. I shook my head at her foolishness. "No, seriously. I

Craig With a wince, I gently brought down my leg, touching the fading bruises all over my body. My wounds were healing, and my strength was coming back gradually. Unhurriedly, I pushed myself up on the edge of the plain mattress and looked around the sparsely furnished room that was painted in an unpleasing color of sky blue and lemon. "Ugh... What a mess," I muttered to myself. I thought I was strong enough, but my head spun, and I had to lay back on the bed. These bastards had taken me away from Dracula's Castle and transported me to this unfamiliar place.From the hours we had spent on the road, I could tell that it was far from my dad's castle or even from anywhere I could remotely remember. They were separating me from my family and everyone I knew. And thanks to that imposter of a brother, my dad probably knew nothing about my disappearance. I was so angry at how unfair life was. My dad was a kind king who'd helped Dracula and Dimitri, but what did they pay him back with?A

Alexis I returned home for the weekend and was still not speaking to Beverly. The tension in the house ran like a red-hot wire. Katana gave me strange looks and after muttering a greeting, I went straight upstairs to my bedroom. I dropped my bag on the floor and flopped onto the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, my mind racing in high gear. Craig's interference in my life and my family had taken its toll on me and had turned our lives upside down.Lost in thoughts, I drifted into a deep sleep, and when I woke up, the darkness outside surprised me at how long I had slept. I made my way downstairs, and the maid informed me that dinner was ready. My heart skipped several beats when I heard my dad's voice booming through the house. The conversation at the dinner table was filled with forced pleasantries and strange smiles. I ate my meal in silence and excused myself from the table afterward. On my way upstairs, Katana stopped me at the staircase. "Can I speak with you outside?"

Alexis I lay on my bed, surrounded by piles of books and study materials, preparing for the upcoming aptitude test for the University of Peace. The name of the school usually brought a faint smile to my lips because I needed peace badly after the downward slope my life was heading. Tara and Westin visited, joining me in the study session. Westin, who was always serious, was competing with me, while Tara did all she could with her playful antics to divert our attention. "You are such a hot mess," I shook my head and swallowed my laughter, pretending to be annoyed. The pop of her bubble gum filled my head, making me turn around and roll my eyes at her. "Come on guys," she whined, jumping off the bed. "Aren't you tired already? We've gone through these damn past questions over and again. Let's take a break." "Fine," I twisted my neck, getting rid of some kinks. "What do you have in mind?" "I don't know, shopping maybe? I'm just eager for a change of scenery. This study session

Oliver I winced, rubbing my stinging cheek. The force of Alexis's slap remained. I deserved it for being so stupid to think she'd jump on me like a lovestruck puppy after I asked for her forgiveness or be easily manipulated without questioning me. Rooted on the spot, I watched her walk away, cursing under my breath. The girl was petite but bold and hostile. Thanks to that bastard, Dimitri, I'd received an unwarranted slap. My shoulders sagged like a deflated balloon. Dimitri forced me to gather information from Craig's friends, including his girlfriend, about the staff of authority. I had two days to come up with something, and the consequences of not getting sufficient information would be brutal. But how could I ask them a string of questions without them becoming suspicious? Craig's friends, especially Zarek, were discerning and were beginning to sniff my fakery. It was a miracle that I hadn't gotten caught at this point. "Oliver, you're a man. I didn't raise you a coward!"
Fated Mates, Forbidden Love One Hundred And Thirty Four
Craig Days and nights passed, and I was still trapped in Bloodline Manor like a helpless butterfly, but I had completely healed and grown stronger. My desperation grew by the second. I wondered what was going on in the outside world. Dimitri hadn't come to threaten me in days. For sure, he was surely up to something sinister. My only companion was a damn diary where I scribbled all my plans to escape, waiting for the perfect time to hatch my plan. I was staring at a cow giving birth. The mother lay exhausted on the ground after pushing her calves far enough out. She was too weak to stand and the smell of its dung and blood was strong enough to kill, but the cows were the only distractions I had because I was so close to going insane. I loved video games and being with my phone. Not having that luxury was killing me. My ears perched when someone knocked on my door. "It's open," I said flatly. Anna, who was the only innocent person in this manor because she had no idea I was s

Alexis "Shit. That was close. He rasped out, his eyes glowing like a wildcat's and bulging with fear. "These bastards are mean and are out for us." "What are we going to do?" I said to Craig with my voice trembling. Craig grimaced, glancing outside the window, and swallowed hard, trying desperately to form coherent words. "I have no idea. But we have to stay here for now and run for our lives when this blows over. It's only a matter of time before they find us." "Fuck," Zarek winced while I paced frantically. Zarek broke the silence. "Are these buildings connected? They could destroy innocent lives while searching for us." "We need help," I said with every fiber in my body trembling nonstop. "We cannot do this on our own. They have outnumbered us." Craig turned to face me, his face congested with fear "Alexis, you have to stay here for now. I don't want you to get hurt." "Stay here?" I gasped, my eyes doubling in size. "Are you kidding me? I can't and I won't leave your si

Alexis My heart was racing so fast. I heard Craig and Zarek coming up, and I composed myself, watching them enter the room, laughing. Craig came to my side and knelt in front of me, kissing my stomach, and Zarek looked away. "How do you feel now? Better?" Craig said, concerned. I shook my head in a no, and Craig frowned. "Do you want me to get you something?" I got on my feet. "Craig, I called my dad," I blurted. "He thinks we are not safe, and is on his way to get me." Craig cursed under his breath. "We need to leave," he said firmly. "I don't trust your dad." "Come on, Craig. My dad may be an enemy to you, but he's my father. He's going to help us." Just as I made that statement, we heard a commotion downstairs, as if a riot was taking place. My heart skipped so fast. "Did you hear that?" I whispered to Craig. My breathing became raspy, and my lips trembled with fear. "I think they are here," Craig trembled and grabbed the bag where the staff was. Zarek rushed to the windo

Alexis Dora had warned us to be very careful and lay low because Dimitri had informants everywhere. It was even dangerous for us to call her, as Dimitri could trace the call and hurt her. Craig couldn't sleep and kept thinking the worst. Zarek joined us the next day and my thoughts were filled with self-loathing and the nagging urge to ask for my dad's help tugged in my heartstrings. But it was very unlikely that my dad, a werewolf, would help Craig and the vampire king. The possibility was almost impossible. He was never going to hand that staff to me. I could sense the frustration in Craig's eyes. He was like a locked-up bull, searching for a means of escape. He had stopped smiling, answering questions with minimal responses, and kept sighing constantly. He seemed to prefer talking to Zarek more than me, and that infuriated me because he made me feel like I had betrayed him in some way. And he poured out his frustration when I asked Dora how Oliver was doing. "I've warned

Alexis Craig's lips kissed my throat up before capturing my lips, and our breaths fused into our mouths. I was in divine ecstasy, and my wolf almost threatened to come out of my body. Our kiss was raw, rough, sloppy, and filled with weeks of longing and a mountain of passion. He went hard, soft, then hard again, and I had no desire to back out. Burying my hands into his thick hair, I let him scoop me up, nibbling his lips. Our kisses were messy because of my tears and the world disappeared around me. I pulled away, staring into his eyes with so much love. "I can't believe I'm seeing you. I hope someone doesn't wake me up if this is a dream." "It's me," he said. His voice thickened with emotion. "I'm here in flesh and blood." A comfortable silence settled between us and we exchanged glances, smiling. His gaze was mad with lust and molten desire, and a raging beast of need was in his eyes. "I dreamt of this day for weeks,"he whispered, kissing my neck and making my knees loosen.

Alexis One week later My heart pounded like a frightened bird, racing to escape, as I ran through the night. The darkness was consuming, making the hairs on my nape raise with raw fear, but I moved swiftly along, ignoring my rising panic. Oliver confessed to Dora and agreed to help us. I was heading to a vampire coven, so I couldn't shift into my wolf. Several nasty thoughts kept flying in, causing me to get frightened beyond measure, but I put a fire under my feet, attempting to lighten my mood with the hope of seeing Craig tonight. "I'll see Craig tonight," I chanted like a mantra. I hastened because it was almost midnight. The hotel Oliver recommended didn't seem to be popular. I stopped to take a breath when I began seeing spots in my vision and closed my eyes, taking a deep breath to regain control. A stray cat darted behind me, sending chills down my spine. I sighed in relief when I burst out onto a surprisingly busy street with half-naked girls and men who couldn't walk

Alexis I edged closer to Dora until our eyes met. Dora held her head high and a broad smile graced her lips.My curiosity heightened, wondering what she wanted from me, considering that we had only met once. There was only one way to find out, but something in me suspected Craig sent her, but why would he when we’d gotten back together? "Hi," I formed a cheeky smile, hugging her. "What a surprise to see you here." "Hello, Alexis, right? I can never forget your name, considering how my boy never stops gushing about you," she said and hugged me back. When she pulled away, she stared at me with kind, observant eyes. The clouds darkened and it began to drizzle."You might want to come into the hall," I said to her. We found a secluded corner in the empty hall and sat opposite each other. Silence settled on us like mist, filling the air. I waited for her to speak but she didn't, making me uncomfortable. "Does Craig know you are here?" I managed to say. She let out a soft chuckle

Alexis Confusion was an understatement for how I felt right now. My spirit was in chaos. I couldn't believe that Craig had asked me for my forgiveness and wanted me back, even though I ended up whacking his face, which I had the right to, after all, he'd put me through. Something was off, no doubt. Yet, I couldn't deny that I still loved him. Our brief relationship brought me back to life in ways I'd never imagined. I lay on Tara's bunk, staring off into mid-distance at the star design on her ceiling, lost in thought. I didn't want to be involved in a game of back and forth where I would be easily swayed by Craig's seduction. I wasn't that stupid. Tara didn't see a big deal in Craig wanting to come back to me. "It was bound to happen," she chuckled, scooping the last of her vanilla ice cream."I know you don't see it that way, but I knew his relationship with Beverly was not going to last." "I'm not buying that bullshit," I sighed. "I know something triggered him to ask for my f
