Fated Mates, Forbidden Love one hundred and twenty one
Alexis I sat in the library, toying with a calligraphy pen and pricking my thumb with the metallic nib. I had so many tests and exams coming up, but I couldn't bring myself to concentrate. All the words in my textbooks became blurry lines. I tried everything I could, from taking long walks from one end of the school to another, practicing mindfulness exercises that Tara had introduced to me, and even wearing more makeup and dressing better, which Tara felt could attract Craig back to me. None worked. Craig never looked at me more than once, and I stopped everything altogether when that bitch Ivy mocked me when I wore a stupid tank top that revealed my stomach. I didn't know what to do anymore, or even who to tell. This was getting stranger by the day, and I knew that Craig wasn't joking when he rejected me. But it bothered me that he hadn't asked about the staff of authority that was in my custody. And from the look of things, he didn't seem like he was planning to. I had no

Alexis The weekend dragged on, and I remained in a haze, nursing my heartbreak. I held onto hope that Craig would come back to his senses and return to the person I once knew and fell in love with, rather than the stranger who was determined to break my heart. Meditation and taking walks had failed to calm me, so I discovered that the only thing that could provide solace was chocolates. I consumed them in various forms: bars, truffles, spreads, hot chocolates, and beverages. They became my new companions, helping me drown my sorrows. Tara's suggestion of sending an anonymous email to Katana lingered in my mind. It sounded like a plan, but it could either be a hit or miss. Beverly would eventually involve herself, and I knew I had to be careful to avoid backfiring. I kept to myself, avoiding participating in conversations at the dinner table, thankfully going unnoticed. My dad and Katana were in a good mood, engaging in lively conversation and laughter. My dad's hands would wand

Alexis Tara and I sat side by side on the bed, our eyes fixed on the luminous computer screen. I was hesitant to send the email to Katana unearthing Beverly and Craig's relationship. I had run short of making excuses, trying to deviate from this matter. Uneasy as hell, I stared blankly at my screen. "Come on, Alexis. Don't be a coward," Tara slurped her banana milkshake, making the freshly blended bananas and dairy fill my nostrils. "You know you want to do this." "I do," I bit my lip, uncertain about all of this. "I just don't want to get into trouble. My dad will find out about me and Craig and kill me." She raised her hands, annoyed. "Well then, I'm going to bed." "No, no, wait," I grabbed her arm. "Come on, don't be stubborn." "If you don't want to send it, it's fine." I groaned loudly. "Oh, Tara…" "I'm tired of listening to excuses. Maybe you should watch Beverly and Craig love up in your presence." "I don't want that." "Then send the damn email to your step-mum." My

Alexis Weeping profusely, I begged to speak to my dad alone. My heart panted in terror and my pulse began to beat erratically and tears flowed like a river from my eyes. My dad was so angry, panting like a wounded lion in the private living room. I couldn't dare look him in the face. With both hands on his hips, he turned to face me speaking with a voice colder than the grave. "Now I need you to start talking. I don't have time for all of these stupid jokes." I understood my dad's anger, and he had every reason to be pissed at me. But what pierced my heart more was that the person who caused all of this wasn't even worth all this trouble. Craig was nothing but a douchebag who broke my heart into shreds, and now he was causing trouble in my family, tearing me apart from my dad. Everything had come crashing down "I'm talking to you, Alexis. What was it you wanted to tell me? And I hope it's something good, and not anything that would worsen your situation." My cheeks were flu

Alexis We headed back to the pack after making sure that the staff of authority was hidden in the safe room. I had doubts and fears, wondering if I was doing the right thing. Most of all, my heart slammed at the thought of betraying Craig. Even though he had broken my heart, I felt guilty for hiding his dad's staff of authority. StoneCrest bustled with activity. Wednesdays were usually for intense training and sports. Tara spotted me from afar and rushed to hug me, almost throwing me off balance. "Christ, Alexis. You scared me. My thoughts were jumbled all weekend and I was this close to coming to the pack house. Why didn't you take my calls?" Tara's rapid questions threw me off guard, overwhelming me. "Sorry," I muttered. “It wasn't intentional." Her brows furrowed and she gave a clipped nod, waving my apology off and guiding me to a nearby concrete chair. "I was and still am very concerned, especially when Beverly resumed on Monday and I saw no glimpse of you." The cool con

Craig It took me a moment to fully grasp my surroundings and realize that I was awake. I jolted, drenched in sweat from my head to foot. My breaths came in short gasps and I shivered on the cold, marble floor, my hand gripping the cage bars. The torment I'd felt these past weeks was enough to make a sane man run mad. After I successfully made sure that Alexis disappeared with my dad's staff, I was ready to face the worst. To fight for my life. Unfortunately, I was overpowered. I was locked up here, not knowing whether or not I'd survive the next day. I woke up most times hoping that this was a dream or a prank. But it was as real as the sun. The cage walls closed in on me, this damn cage where I was dumped like a chicken, begging for life. I couldn't shut my eyes until the morning light filtered through the window. One of Dracula's guards rattled the keys and dumped a tray of soggy ramen and carrots. The look alone was enough to make me stay hungry for the whole day. Dracula,

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 "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

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

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!"
