Darell remained still as he observed her walk away. He soon went back after her. This time, Marcelyn didn't turn to confront him with any inquiries. The 27-year-old Darell was caught off guard as the woman yanked a sharp branch from a nearby honey locust tree and targeted his jugular vein. She stared directly into his ocean-blue eyes, recalling her state as she could see a reflection of herself in them while still completely naked. She screamed, maintaining eye contact with her would-be victim, "If I can't dig into your neck, this will do the work for me, okay?" Her foul breath irritated Marcelyn's nose and was revolting. He turned his attention away from her as his nose twitched in response to the smell. Marcelyn, who became aware of her foul breath. Though she pretended not to feel embarrassed, she felt it again. She was still threatening him. It was in her nature, that was the kind of mechanism Marcelyn had within her, so it was impossible not to threaten. "Respond t
He had eyes the color of the ocean, and she looked directly into them. She could see a reflection of her naked self there, which reminded her of her condition, but she quickly dismissed the idea.She screamed, maintaining eye contact with her would-be victim, "If I can't dig into your neck, this will do the work for me, okay?"Darell's nose pricked from her foul breath. The smell made him twitch his nose, and he turned his head away from her.Marcelyn, who became aware of her foul breath.Though she pretended not to feel embarrassed, she felt it again. She wasn't quite done threatening him."Reply to me!"With his hands in front of his nose, Darell sneezed.Darell said calmly, more out of concern about getting her odor stuck in his nostrils than out of fear of her."I'll make good on my word that if you don't back off, this will end in your veins." Marcelyn vowed, her jaws clenching as she said, "I won't warn you the next time."Her face was now only a few inches away from Darell's.
He tightened his grip on her breasts and locked his lips with hers. In his mouth, she hummed in agonizing pleasure. Their tongues engaged in playful play as he played with her nipples and she wiggled. When he reached her breasts, he moved down her neck and sucked like a hungry dog would a bitch. She screamed while grinning and biting into his hair. Kiara repeatedly circled her finger in her crotch. It gushed from her, thick and white, staining Darell's pants. Here, here. He put his hands on her thighs as she moaned once more. "I must have you inside!” She yelled. Darell did not move, so Kiara clung to the bedclothes in anticipation of him. He paused and focused on her eyes. "Look, just because we had sex doesn't mean I love you, either, okay? If you want more money, take it all. Don't have any other conditions because I'm paying you for it,” he said as he threw his wallet's contents onto the bed. Darell got up from bed and ran his hands through his hair. Kiara, who
Before Marcelyn could move any further, the other woman spoke, forcing her back down the hilly road just a little bit more. The awkward silence was broken by Kiara, who was uncomfortable with Darell and Marcelyn just staring at each other without saying anything. "She tried to kill me, Darell," Kiara said. Turning to Kiara, Marcelyn's eyes grew wider. “I wasn't trying to kill you, girl, holy Vikings.” In front of her face, she waved her hands. Darell yelled, "So why did she run away from you?" Suddenly, he became aware that Marcelyn was donning a nightgown inside out. She asked rhetorically, "Don't I have the right to clothe myself? Darell grinned as he moved in their direction. They reclined as the light morning breeze briefly ran through his hair. This revealed more of his forehead. His facial features were so attractive. “You don't. You shouldn't take things that belong to other people forcibly. That's being egotistical.” "I'm not bothered.” Marcelyn informed him. She
The same clearing in the woods that Marcelyn had just run past was now where she found herself. Holy Vikings, did I just shuffle around in a ring? Argh! How the hell do I get out of here?” Marcelyn hissed and glared around. She walked barefoot over the dry leaves, which crunched and rustled. She looked around to see if there was a different route she could take. She was poked in the foot by a sharp branch that pierced the skin by two inches while she was frolicking in the eastern part of the woods. She moaned in agony and sat down to cut the branch. As she tended to herself, barely any dark blood oozed from her feet. She cut the lace from her stolen nightgown's hem and tied it around her foot. The same clearing in the woods that Marcelyn had just run past was now where she found herself. "Holy Vikings, did I just shuffle around in a ring? Argh! How the hell do I get out of here?” Marcelyn hissed and glared around. She walked barefoot over the dry leaves, which crunched and
Marcelyn snarled, disappearing into another room to see what was inside, "Who are you to ask where I'm from?” If someone else had treated Darell badly, they would have suffered severely as a result. Marcelyn, on the other hand, really irritated Darell, but he was unable to treat her the same way he would the others. He spat as he entered the room she had just entered, calling her "such an impudent bitch." Marcelyn had a knife in her hand and was slamming the door behind him. Earlier, while she was in the kitchen, she had stolen it and kept it as a weapon to kill anyone she felt needed to be killed. Even if that person turns out to be the one she is currently infringing on in their home. If she had forgotten, Darell reminded her that he was a werewolf: "You're a crazy bitch, do you know that? You think I couldn't kill you if I wanted to." Marcelyn glared at him and declared fearlessly, "I'm not afraid of you, nor are you going to kill me like you're professing.” Darell chuckled a
Unexpectedly cheerful, Darell's smile made him appear and sound less mocking to the woman. "I can tell that you're trying your hardest not to laugh, but please stop right away so I can continue. I detest it when people cut me off during a sentence. " He encouraged her to go on with a sucked-in lip and a nod. "I was constantly hungry and thirsty. The vampires, however, never consumed humans. My internal makeup was not made by that rule. My goal was to obtain that forbidden human blood. They might have assumed that I had trouble adhering to the law. My situation was difficult." "A human who I encountered one night did well to arouse my ire that evening. I took his blood as payment for the sentence I delivered to him. Days after that night, I developed a craving for more of that delectable blood and made it a ritual to consume that particular blood at least once before the following day's dawn,” Marcelyn narrated her story. ****** The alpha exited the restroom after a leisurely, sa
"You ought to leave the hair in its current state. Your wacky personality fits it. Imagine having such a hairstyle; no one will even inquire as to whether you are mad or not."She gave him the knife and said, "Then help me shape it." Darell removed the knife from her and set it on the table. After making her sit on the talking stool, he removed a pair of scissors from one of the drawers.Darell cut out the crooked sections of her hair with the scissors as he went. She swiveled her head from left to right to left as she gazed into the mirror to see his face.He said, "stay still."Why must you have such a captivating face? She at least acknowledged his good looks, Darell grinned, which made him happy.Darell's body jerked forward as Marcelyn suddenly grabbed both of his thighs from behind; he quickly regained his balance.Marcelyn fought back a smile, "I'm sure there's more beauty to behold behind that towel."While pulling Marcelyn off the stool and guiding her by the arm toward the
As the vampires closed in on Darell and Chris, a sudden howl echoed through the castle. Darell recognized it immediately. "That's Bella," he said, relief flooding through him.Seconds later, the door burst open, and Darell's sister and her mate Sam charged into the room, followed by Sam's three brothers, Thomas, Matthew, and David. The vampires turned to face the new threat, and Darell and Chris took the opportunity to launch their attack.Bella shifted into her wolf form, her powerful jaws closing around the throat of the nearest vampire. Sam and his brothers joined in the fight, their werewolf strength overwhelming the vampires.Darell and Chris focused their attention on Marcelyn, quickly untying her from the table. "Are you okay?" Darell asked her, relief flooding through him as she nodded."I'm fine," Marcelyn said, tears still streaming down her face.Darell took her hand, pulling her towards the door. "Let's get out of here."But just as they reached the doorway, they were conf
As the vampires arrived, Marcelyn and Van fought them off, while the wizard worked on breaking the spell that had been controlling her. It was a tough battle, but they managed to hold their own against the vampires.Finally, the wizard managed to break the spell, and Marcelyn regained control of herself. She looked around, disoriented, before realizing what had happened."Thank you," she said, turning to the wizard. "I don't know how to repay you."The wizard smiled. "It's all in a day's work. I'm just glad I could help."***Darell could feel his heart pounding as he stood at the altar, looking at Hannah. She looked beautiful in her white dress, but he couldn't help feeling like he was making a mistake. He didn't love her, and he never would.As they waited for the priest to arrive, Darell's mind drifted to Marcelyn. He wondered where she was, if she was safe. He couldn't stop thinking about her, even though he knew he shouldn't. He had to focus on Hannah and their future together.B
Darell sat alone in his room, staring blankly at the wall. His mind was a mess of emotions, and he couldn't seem to shake the feeling of betrayal that hung over him like a dark cloud."What are we going to do, Darell?" Chris, asked as he walked into the room. "Marcelyn is out there attacking innocent people, and we need to stop her before she does any more damage."Darell sighed deeply. "I know, Chris, but it's not that simple. Marcelyn is my mate, and I can't just go out there and fight her like she's some kind of enemy.""But she has become way more dangerous for us Darell," Chris argued. "She's attacking our pack and causing chaos. We can't just sit back and do nothing.""I know, I know," Darell said, running a hand through his hair. "I just don't know how to approach this. I don't want to hurt Marcelyn, but at the same time, I can't let her continue to hurt innocent people."There was a knock on the door, and Darell's head snapped up. "Who is it?""It's me, Jake," a voice called f
Darell hung up the phone, feeling both relieved and frustrated. He knew that he needed to keep the peace in the pack, but he couldn't help feeling like his own desires and happiness were being pushed aside for the greater good.Meanwhile, Marcelyn was still on the run. She had managed to evade capture so far, but she knew that it was only a matter of time before Darell and his pack caught up with her. She had returned to her old ways, feeding on innocent humans and reveling in her power.But even as she reveled in her newfound freedom, Marcelyn couldn't help feeling a sense of emptiness. She had loved Darell deeply, and the thought of never seeing him again made her heart ache. She had never felt so alone in her entire life.As the days passed, Darell and his pack continued to search for Marcelyn. They followed every lead they could find, but she seemed to have disappeared completely. Darell was beginning to feel hopeless, and he couldn't help wondering if he would ever see Marcelyn a
Aimea's expression remained unchanged. "I hope you do, son. But until then, your mate will remain in our custody."Darell knew he wasn't going to get anywhere with his mother. He turned on his heel and stormed out of the pack house, with Chris following closely behind him.As they got into the car, Chris turned to Darell. "What are we going to do now?"Darell sighed. "We need to find out who is really responsible for the killings. I have a feeling that Marcelyn is just a scapegoat."Chris nodded. "Where do we start?"Darell thought for a moment. "We need to talk to some witnesses. Maybe they saw something that could help us."They spent the rest of the day interviewing people who lived in the area where the killings had occurred. Most of them were too scared to talk, but they did manage to find a few who were willing to share their experiences.One woman, a human named Sarah, told them that she had seen a large wolf-like creature near the scene of one of the killings. She described it
"What the hell are you doing, Hannah?" he demanded, taking in the scene in front of him.Hannah was caught off guard, but she quickly composed herself. "I was just checking on Marcelyn," she said, holding up her empty hands.Darell's eyes narrowed as he looked at her. "I don't believe you. You were about to do something bad to her, weren't you?""No I was just coming to check on her" Aimea said, with tears coming out from her eyes.When Darell saw her crying, he was moved with compassion and decided to believe what she was saying. Darell moved close to her and embraced her."I am sorry Hannah, I never meant to make you feel bad, maybe I was imagining things". Darell said."It's okay, Darell it's not your fault, Hannah said, holding Darell tightly.While they were holding each other, Marcelyn woke up and saw them."What's happening here?" Marcelyn asked. And immediately Darell removed his hand from Hannah."What's going on here Darell and why are you holding her like that?" Marcelyn sa
Hannah took a deep breath. "It's about Marcelyn. I know that she doesn't like me, but I just can't take it anymore. She's always picking fights and making me feel like I'm not welcome here. And now she's accusing me of even flirting with you!"Darell raised an eyebrow. "Flirting with me? What do you mean?"Hannah bit her lip, looking down. "She said I am always touching you, and talking to you in that sultry voice of mine. It's clear that she's trying to find a reason to fight with me again, and it's making me feel so uncomfortable."Darell sighed, shaking his head. "Hannah, you're just imagining things. Marcelyn would never say something like that."Hannah shook her head. "No, Darell, I'm not imagining things. I know what I heard, and I know what I feel. I just can't keep living like this. I need to leave."Darell's eyes widened. "Leave? What do you mean?"Hannah looked at him, tears streaming down her face. "I can't stay here, Darell. Not with Marcelyn always fighting with me, and n
"I know you're not happy about Hannah living with us, but I want to assure you that everything will be fine. She's a good person and she won't do anything to harm us," Darell said, taking her hand.Marcelyn pulled her hand away. "I'm not so sure about that, not with all my experiences with her. I feel threatened by her presence."Darell shook his head. "There's no need to feel threatened. You're the only one I love, Marcelyn. And I promise to do everything I can to make you feel comfortable."Marcelyn looked at him, her eyes softening. "I know you mean well, Darell. But it's just hard for me to accept Hannah after all she has done to me, I suspect she is up to something."Darell took her in his arms, holding her close. "I understand. But I hope you can give Hannah a chance. Who knows, she might surprise you and even change for good."Marcelyn hesitated, but eventually nodded. "I'll try, Darell. For you."Darell smiled, relieved that Marcelyn was willing to try. He knew it wouldn't be
Amanda, Hannah, and Rajan walked wearily back to their homes after failing to find any information about Marcelyn. Amanda's mind was still reeling from their recent battle with the vampires. As they walked, they discussed the events of the night, trying to make sense of what had happened."I can't believe we actually did it," Rajan said, shaking his head in disbelief. "We took down an entire nest of vampires." Hannah nodded in agreement, but Amanda remained quiet. Her thoughts were elsewhere, wondering what the future held for her daughter. Amanda, Hannah, and Rajan made their way back home, exhausted from the intense battle with the vampires. As they walked, they discussed their failure to find out anything about Marcelyn and how to make Darell to change his mind from her. When they arrived home, Amanda was surprised to receive a message from Aimea, Alpha Darell's mother. The message requested Amanda and Hannah's presence at her secret chamber for a meeting concerning Darell's marr
