Bellatrix Sinclair

Our eyes were locked in a trance, dread churned like acid in my stomach. I’ve never seen such violence, such bloodshed – it was disturbing.

His sinister smile was even more terrifying stained by blood. “Are you scared Ma Cherie?”

Lazarus strode towards me, malevolence dancing in his eyes. “You should be. This is what happens when people think they can try and kill me.”

The pressure intensified in my chest as he lifted his hand, bloody tainted fingers twirling a lock of my hair. He was completely engrossed, his words soft and lethal. “So beautiful and I’ve tainted you.”

“Who was that?” I blurted in question, despite the fear slithering in my veins like poison.

I blinked, a speck of desolation flic

I’m momentarily stunned at what transpired, it happened in the blink of an eye.“W-why do you have royal taster?” I blurted, “You never had one before-““I’ve always had one.” Lazarus stated, getting up without eating nor drinking anything on the table. “When you prepared my meals, I didn’t need one.” His lips curled into a devilish grin as he teased, “Where was a human going to get poison here?”“Poison…” I mumbled. It’s been two days since I saw the lengths these assassins will go to in order to kill him.

You never give compliments without critics.”He smiled, “You know me well,” taking a lock of my hair and gently playing with it. “Xander was a stroke of luck, what are you going to do if it’s someone of my size.”I swallowed, a fluttering initiating in my chest at his actions, they were distracting, and I’ve noticed that he’s been doing it frequently. “Utilize my skills-“Before I could speak, he grabbed my hand and twisted my body until my back was plastered against his chest.

    As the only human attending classes with all the werewolves, it feels like I'm the lone sheep in a wolf pack.I take a deep breath, burying my head lower. I don't dare make eye contact with any werewolf to avoid further bullying. Most humans believe the only way to escape bullying is to become the mate of the werewolf king. I find that idea revolting!I focus my attention on today's textbook, but as I rummage through my bag for it, my fingers touch something sticky, making my stomach churn. I tear open the book to find a tar-like substance reeking with a putrid smell. They're completely ruined, and I don't have money to buy new ones.Suddenly, the five core bullies in the classroom burst out laughing, as if they'd been eagerly anticipating this very scene.One of the core bullies, Kelly, didn't think this was enough. She approached me as crumpled paper balls flew towards my head. Her glossy pink lips curled into a sly smile. "Looks like you've made quite a mess of things."My brows kn

I’m not oblivious to the desire flashing in his gaze, he has tried on multiple occasions with his advances. I shrug them off, however I couldn’t control my reactions.My muscles lock instantly, fear slithering down my spine and rattling my bones. “You’re so beautiful for a human.” His condescending voice steeped in desire that only made my stomach curl in revulsion.Attempting to focus on my task, my throat clogged by panic as I tremble. “Ah, you’re shivering at my touch.” He taunts, honey trickling from his tongue, “You always like when I touch you, don’t think I don’t notice

    "You will be mine! You are destined to not escape!" A wolf in the darkness, its green eyes glaring at me.Its claws reached out for me, and I was so scared that I immediately ran away!"No! I will absolutely not become your mate!""Ah?!" I immediately screamed, then a pair of large hands steadied me."Beatrix," a gentle voice called, giving me a light push, "Wake up." I opened my eyes to see my best friend, Colton. He was a human-werewolf hybrid, bullied just like me.Colton looked at my attire quizzically, his sapphire eyes sparkling in the sunlight like the ocean. "What happened last night? You overslept, unlike your usual self."We had a fixed time to train every day. That was why he came to my home.Lying wasn’t an option with Colton otherwise he would continuously pester me until I revealed the truth and apart of me hated lying to him.

    Bellatrix Sinclair“This is the budget for the Royal Guards attending the borders, King Lazarus as expressed his interest on increasing the food and weapons supply for the patrollers as well as the compensation packages for the ones who have passed.” Judah explained each document thoroughly, transferring them into three separate folders. “He might sign off on them.”“No problem.” I say, clutching the folders to my chest. “Valeria went to the borders?”“Yes.”Shit. I didn’t even get to say goodbye. “How long?”Judah reads another document, stamping the pages with a royal mark. “Indefinately. They are required to monitor and provide feedback before taking action.”Being Lazarus assistant had it’s advantages, I was privy to information regarding the inner workings of his system. Majority of the fundings for each Kingdom was provided by Lazarus personally, something I was shocked by.“Can I ask you something?” I hesitated when he nodded. “Doesn’t The Syndicate fund the Kingdoms.”He looks

Are you saying that you don’t trust them?”He scoffed at my insolence. “In the essence of life, you are prey among predators.”“My skills have proven different. I can be the predator just as much as you.” I smirked, my voice sweet and condescending.Lazarus eyes sparkled poisonously, flooding my bloodstream with the toxic substance of his evil tendencies. “Ma Cherie,” his voice smooth like whiskey, “you have to be more vicious than this if you ever want to be a predator.”Entranced by those pitch-black orbs, a dark tower looming over me with vile intent. Arching a challenging brow, “I can pull the trigger.” I say, “Your rules restrict me from acting on those impulses.”His fingers sears through my cheek, catching a lock of my hair and twirling it around his finger. “Fear is more lethal than poison.” He stated. “The prospect of death doesn’t scare you, but your fear holds you back more than I do.”“Don’t act like you

This was a completely new experience, uncharted territory because I’m venturing into werewolf’s domain as the only human without any semblance of power.A tightening initiated in my chest, searing my lungs and making it difficult to swallow. Anxiously bouncing from one foot to the other, Valeria placing a comforting hand onto my shoulder. “It’s going to be fine, I’m here.” She smiled reassuringly.Considering our first encounter was a disaster, I found myself believing her sincerity. The spa was in the central district, a different location and Valeria informed that there are various sections that make-up this place.Pushing
