"Shut up that stinking mouth!" He flared angrily, smacking my head hard to stop my screams, but it only escalated as the pain from his hit struck deeper into my skull.With the corner of my eyes, I saw him putting on the condom, and the terror gave me a gush of strength, and the adrenaline that waved through me forced me to find my way of escape, but it was something I regretted immediately.I stood straight and threw my head back with force, giving him a sudden headbutt to the face, which made him stumble back and groan in pain. I couldn't wait for anything else as I sharply picked up the towel and sped towards the door, but somehow I wasn't fast enough. My legs were still shaky and weak from the shock of what almost happened to me.Just as I got to the door with just the tip of my finger on the door knob, I felt his presence closely behind me, and in the next minute, my neck was grabbed from behind, and he slammed my head on the door so hard that my brain went blank and everything b
"Who are you to question me?" Callen flared, straightened up, and wore back his shorts and trousers before turning sharply, thinking it was one of the bodyguards, but as soon as he saw the unfamiliar, tall, imposing figure with a cold stare standing at the door, he stopped in his tracks, frozen in fear.Jaden's eyes moved from him and over to me, and as soon as our eyes met, I noticed the glint of rage in his eyes as he scanned my whole body."Who are you?" Callen snapped, pulling out of his shock state as he folded his long sleeve in readiness for a fight that looked like a suicide. He was no match for Jaden. Jaden's eyes narrowed perilously at him."Are you the supposed Alpha prince because your scent is that of a future Alpha?" he scoffed. "It seemed to be a huge disappointment and mistake. Let me get this straight. Were you trying to rape her?" He added in a raspy tone, his voice low and dripping with menance."Who the hell are you?" Callen's voice was already cracking out of pan
Jason's POVLove was an emotion I scorned, a treacherous path I had vowed never to tread as I embraced solitude, finding comfort in the predictable patterns of my existence as the vampire prince and next in line to rule. I had my life all planned out, and love was not part of it. I can have a queen and children, but that doesn't force love into it because I can marry without falling in love.In my eyes, the world was a constant cycle of fleeting connections, leaving behind scars of betrayal and shattered expectations, so I had vowed to shield myself from such entanglements, locking my heart away, safe from the agony that love brought.My heart was the most precious part of me and the most vulnerable—the easiest path to my destruction—so I vowed to protect it and never hand it to any woman, knowing it was indirectly a death wish. It was suicidal. I really thought it worked until now.After almost 15 years of being celibate and all to myself, rejecting every single lady that advanced a
"The shaman, or whatever you called him, left his thatched hut and went all the way to my father's palace to tell him I had fallen in love with a shewolf." He seethed, his voice low and cold. I could sense the raging anger bubbling inside him from every word he spoke, even though he appeared calm from the outside."I was so shocked too. Like, I didn't expect him to do that after I told him to keep it a secret so we could resolve it. It is my fault. I took you to him." I sighed, lowering my head. "Hey, I need beer here." I heard him making an order, which made me look up at him."For me also." I said to the waiter, who bowed and left while we both returned to staring at each other.He scoffed and clicked his tongue, his eyes fighting hard to hide his fierce anger. He was really reframing himself, and his clenched fists and teeth were evidence of how much his beast was fighting to burst out and wreak havoc on me."You took me to that dickhead, and now words have spread that I betrayed
"Are you with me or against me? You have to give me a reply now." He repeated, his face far from smiling, so stern that I knew it would be useless to try convincing him to change his mind. He was very ready to face whatever would come out of this abominable romance with a werewolf.My lips were slightly shaking as my brain went blank and my throat dried up. I stared at him without knowing what to say. My entire being was divided into two, one was against him, and the other, which included my heart, badly needed to be by his side. Going against him means I won't be his friend anymore and will have to side with the king and the clan to fight him."I don't know why it's hard for you to choose. I won't hurt you for making any choice. Seriously, I would love it if you told me to my face that you could never be part of this sh*t. Say it because I know that's what's on your mind." He hissed and exhaled, licking his lips in a way that was so seductive in my eyes that I felt a great urge to p
"Why will the Alpha call for us to meet him inside this store room?" I could hear the gruffy voice of one of the bodyguards asking the maid who brought them in."Yes, it is fishy. And why will the Alpha instruct you to fetch us when he can simply use the mind link?" Another shot at her angrily as she shivered and began to flick her eyes all around frantically, obviously in search of me because I told her I would be waiting in here.It was all my plan to use her to lure these men into this room, where I would punish them for what they did to Selene in front of me. I was never going to spare them after what they did to her."I... Someone...told..." The young girl stuttered, and they began to move closer to her with menacing looks."Are you playing tricks with us? Do we look like people you will joke around with? Are you mad?""No, she is not mad!" My voice cut in as I stepped out of the dark corner of the room behind some stock goods where I was hiding.Before anything else, I sped past
"Be alert and sense any slight movement you notice. We must not lose him!!" A commanding, angry voice roared through the silence of the night, and right there where I was hiding, I kept thinking about the next step to take.Jumping out and fighting was the only thought I had in mind, but I knew so well that with their numbers, I stood no chance of escape. I could kill as much as I could, but eventually I would be caught, and with how evil these werewolves are, I was surely going to see hell.Adding that I had just murdered those two bodyguards, they were sure to torture me really painfully and cruelly, but that wasn't my fear, my greatest concern was my parents. If they ever hear the news of me being caught, it would really be a big blow, especially when they begin to face all sorts of humiliation and suffering from my capture.Have I really failed before the battle could even start? Was I stupid to sneak into the royal palace to kill those bodyguards just because they hit on Selene?
There were so many wolf hunters surrounding the whole place, all in readiness and rage to attack Jaden and his colleagues, with their eyes glowing ferociously as they growled continuously."Tonight we face two of our age-old enemies, the vampires. They seek to control our city, but we will not let them. Two against one can never win, so our victory is sure!" The leader of the hunters shouted a battle cry as if he were in a war, his voice filled with authority and confidence.Anyone who heard him would think they were fighting numerous armies as much as they were. Instead, it was just two.But even at that, Jaden stood tall in his imposing figure, powerful and fearless, as he clenched both fists after making sure his mask was still intact. It seemed he was more concerned about hiding his real face.Staring at him from the window, I didn't notice any sign of fright in him. He never appeared scared at all, even after seeing the large numbers coming for him, and instead of drawing back, h
