"Please introduce yourselves to the class; they must be very eager to know more about you both." The teacher's face was all smiles as she coaxed them gently with respect.She said both as if I weren't in existence there, and I loved it that way, saving me from the shame of introducing myself in front of the students when I'm dressed like a street beggar. All I hoped for was that Callen and his sister won't be so wicked as to tell the entire class of my mother's abominable act because if the students find out I had link with the vampires, they were going to make me regret ever being alive."My name is Callen, my sister is Sophia, and most importantly, our father is Alpha Logan, the owner of this school." He began, his voice cocky and reeking with so much pride that I almost scoffed in disgust. Does he need someone to remind him that his father is no where close to owning this school? How has he suddenly forgot about the Lycan king or did he deliberately decides to be an ignorant assh
"Beat her to stupor!" Sophia commanded like she was a queen talking to her subjects, and that was just how it seemed because I could see the group of muscular boys sitting at the back coming for me.The fatty, chubby-cheeked guy who called me a dirty thing earlier was their leader as they left their seats and attacked me while Sophia and some girls tried to help Callen up while he groaned in pain."Don't dare touch me!" I yelled at them, but none of them listened. They caught a hold of me before I could think of running. The door of the classroom was closed at that moment as three boys held my hands. It started with slaps from two different angles on both of my cheeks, then I was swept off my feet and landed heavily on my buttocks.They were ready to beat me up, but luckily for me, a voice they feared and respected broke in just at that moment. I heard the murmurs of some of them and knew the man was the school superintendent. He came with a few security men. "What do you all think y
Sophia's POVI was lost, transfixed in a daze, the moment this young man walked into the class. It was as if my heart had been snatched away. Every part of him was calling on me, and at that moment, I knew I had found the man my heart longed for.He was so cute and had that capturing aura, which forced everyone's attention on him. I wasn't expecting such an angel in this school, and adding that he was the nephew of the school principal made him more admirable.I instantly fell in love at first sight and vowed in my heart to do everything to make him mine, which I was so sure wouldn't be a hard task as no man could resist me. We would make a perfect couple. A perfect match that everyone would only wish for and dream of.When I heard he doesn't have a desk yet, I felt a pump of excitement as my face beamed in a bright smile while I rested my gaze at him. He was going to be my seat-mate.The superintendent told us he would be sitting with anyone of his choice, and that sounded like he wa
Jaden's POVI wished to kill him right there. Each punch on his face was a trigger for another one, and hearing his groans and cry of intense pain only sent more uncontrollable urges to disfigure his face with my blows.For every pain he had caused Selene. For every moment she cried bitterly and lamented for mercy while he went on torturing her, I felt like taking his life, and even though I agreed with Selene just to beat him up and not kill him, it was so much more difficult to stop until she told me so.It was as if her voice was all my anger needed to fade away, and it was at that same moment that I realized how hard I had hit him. He looked quite scary with his face beaten to pulp making him appear like those zombies in horror movies, as blood spilled from almost every part of his face.I stood up after wiping my bloody hands on his cloth, and it was even then that I noticed the little crowd of students that had gathered, some were taking pictures and videos of what was happening
Jake's POV"So you mean my son, Jaden, who had always been your friend, did this to you? He fought you so brutally just to take off your ring? Why will he do such a thing?" Kane seethed, pacing to and fro in the palace, puffing and huffing as he kept hissing in anger.The queen had her head leaning on her palm, her eyes wet, as she constantly shook her head in sadness and shock. I was sitting on a wheel chair with bandages plastered on almost every part of my body. It came as a great shock when they both woke up to the news that the prince was gone—not to anywhere else but to that pack they detest so much. It disturbs them more to realize the extent of what he could do just for a wolf girl who was not anyone else but a member of one of the packs they most hated. "What the hell had come over my son?!" The vampire king growled, running his fingers aggressively through his hair and tugging it as his teeth clenched tight. His face was red."Something is wrong. We have to do something."
Jaden's POV Night was drawing near as I sat on a big tree branch in the wood, waiting patiently for night to fall so I could hurry to that royal packhouse and keep a close eye on the building.I don't know the strategy the knights would be using to lure her out or if they were going to sneak in. I really have no idea, but I won't take any chances. My plan was to make sure I was beside Selene in whatever way.They will all have to walk over my corpse to get her killed because I would rather die than watch them touch a strand of her hair. I know it's a betrayal. I know it's an abomination. I clearly know I am defying the entire vampire tradition and law, but the days when I cared are gone.Unfortunately, at this moment, I would go the extra mile for her. Even if I get banished from my Kingdom, we will find a new life together in a faraway land. As long as she walks with me, our hands clasped together, savoring the warmth and serenity of the environment, that's all that matters.We will
I sat there in my room, leaning on a hope that was becoming bleak and fainter. Night had come, and it was accompanied by silence—that kind of silence that sends shivers of fear down your spine with a terrifying voice echoing inside your head in warning of an impending danger.Everywhere was becoming dark inside the room, and for an unknown reason, all the lights in my room couldn't come on. I only depended on the dim ray of light from the moon, which was barely bright enough for me to see my bed where I lay.My heart was thumping hard, and sweat was all over my face. I didn't want to die anymore.If it had been weeks ago, I would have been the happiest woman on earth at this point because dying simply meant the end of my sufferings. The end of every pain, and I would be able to meet my mother again. This world had no meaning then, and it felt tiresome to live in.But dying now, leaving this world when I had met the love of my life, was like a piercing sword plunging into my heart. Mee
"Were you already expecting to be killed tonight? Do you know who we really are? Why are you so terrified?" One of them, with dark dreadlocks, asked as a trace of surprise look crossed their faces abruptly.It was then that I noticed the clothes they were wearing. It was the same as the royal guards in this pack. They had come in disguise but weren't aware that I could smell their scent."There is no need to try to feign anything. I can smell you. I know who you all are. But I don't know why the vampires wants me dead. What did I do wrong? Why do I have enemies both sides?" I asked in tears, my voice breaking in and out as their brows furrowed with their eyes flickering in shock."You can smell our scent? You know we are vampires?""No werewolf can break through our cover and smell our vampire scent unless they are one of us. How did you do it?""Are you normal?""This is strange!""How possible?!" Their questions of confusion shot at me as their eyes scanned all over my body."I hav
Selene's POV"That was fun!" Joy squealed as we got to the sitting room, slumping on the couch with huge smiles on our faces."You are really a badass girl. You first spat on her, and I followed you." I muttered amidst laughter."She deserves it. That woman showed me hell!" Joy frowned, hissing, and Jake held her cheeks, drawing her to face him."Don't stop smiling. That fucked up woman shouldn't make you angry, or I'll go and kill her if that's what you want." He cooed."Huh? She isn't making me angry. I just felt pissed recalling the past." Joy giggled, giving him a funny look. "Okay, love. Can we go to our room, I'm not feeling fine." He said it with a pursed smile, and it seemed Joy had already studied him."I am not a doctor, naughty boy. Why are you hard?" She laughed, rolling her eyes teasingly at him."That's why he said he wasn't fine. Go treat him, baby." I chipped with grins all over my face as Jake nodded, trying to hold his laughter."Go help my brother." Jaden added with
"The King commanded you to shut up, bitch!" The guard who had hit me seethed in so much hatred and disgust in his voice, but it wasn't compared to the ones I saw in King Lucas' face. My voice, my presence, and everything about me seemed to be irking him to the core, and seeing what my fate had turned into made more tears fall from my eyes as I whimpered silently. The pain from the bodyguard kick felt like nothing compared to what i felt seeing Lucas hateful stare. Not only had I lost everything, I might end up being killed by the same man I fell madly in love with."Any more sound from you, and I swear to show you what my rage can do!" He warned sternly, his finger pointed at me.I knew he was damn serious, but the heartbreak was overwhelming, and I couldn't control myself anymore."Give me a second chance. I made a mistake, and I admit it. I did wrong, and I am ready to pay for it all, but just have mercy on me. I will be the best person that has ever come into your life. I will...
"You maltreated my daughter and almost made her kill herself. Why? What did she do to you?!" Lucas snarled in indignation and disgust, his tone and eyes showing how deeply he hated the sight of me, and this tore my heart , coursing pain all over my chest as tears found their way down my cheek.Seeing the love of my life talking to me like this was really heartbreaking. It hurt me so much that I wished I could turn the hand of time and change all the wrong I had done to Selene for the better.How did I make the worst enemy out of the very person who has the power to save me now?"Selene, I am very sorry for everything I did to you. I swear, I...I...""Don't call my daughter's name with that stinky mouth of yours!" A roaring warning from the Lycan king hit in, and before I could see it coming, not to talk of dodging, his strong palm connected with my cheek in a very hot slap that snapped my face to the right and forced spittle out of my mouth as the force crashed me to the floor.My fac
Is this an illusion or some kind of hallucination happening in my head? Because there is no way this can be real. Not now, not at this moment of my victory! It can't be!My heart began to race, pounding harder inside my chest as beads of sweat formed on my forehead while I watched, like other people, a strange drama unfold."Who are you talking about?" Selene asked in a soft tone, and Lucas's mouth went agape, his eyes now exuding so much excitement as he drew closer to her like a magnetic force was pulling him, and at that moment he totally forgot I was in existence.Something about Selene had grasped his entire soul and body that not even my charm couldn't alter. He was totally mesmerized, leaving every other person present in a confused state, as no one had seen him intrigued by anyone."You speak like her. Your eyes. Your eyes are blue like hers, so pretty and innocent. I see her in you. Is your mother a hunter? If yes, where is she, please?" The almighty Lycan king spoke with so
We rode into the gigantic golden gate, coming in view of the large hall—the place that would change my life. More women of different kinds of mystical beings were trouping in. Their scents filled the whole place; vampires, elves, witches, werewolves, were-dragons, and others were all present at this festival as usual.The only unusual thing tonight is that the bride has already been chosen, which is me.I stepped down with my two maids aiding me from both sides. As I turned to make my way in, a familiar scent hit me, rumbling my stomach in irritation as that was the last person I wished to see now. "Oh, you're here, Laura. I bet you would rather die than miss it." That was Selene's voice, full of confidence and authority. She even called me by my name and is no longer ma'am or my queen. I expect that, though, because now she isn't that weak girl again, but I just hope she stays away from me as today is going to be our last time to meet.The Lycan is taking me home tonight."I wonder
Alpha Logan's POV It had been more than 24 hours. I was sure I had laid here dormant and useless for a full day with all the doctors coming and going, performing all kinds of treatments on my eyes and throat to heal me, but it was all futile, only inflicting me with pain, yet I can't scream or cry out loud at them to leave me alone.They all can't understand my ailments because they are beyond their understanding. Laura was being pretentious all around, sobbing and rubbing my forehead as if she cared while instructing for more doctors to be fetched for me.All I could do was lay limp like the useless being I had been turned into because there was no voice to say anything, nor did I have eyes to see and write down whatever I had in mind.When people are around, Laura acts like the caring Luna, but when they leave, she mocks and laughs at me.My eyes seemed like they were burning as this doctor, who I don't know where he came from, began to apply something to my eyes.I was panting, gn
Immediately after I got back, four demons swept me off my feet and tied my hands and legs tight as the demon king walked in with rage in his eyes."Why did you go into the vampire kingdom? I didn't send you there. You failed to carry out my order. The punishment is death, you know?" He growled, picking up a sharp knife.I stared at his face, and my parents images, especially my mother's, filled my head, torturing the hell out of me."You should ask me what I went there to do first." I retorted, and he scoffed."My men trailing behind you saw you enter a garden, which they couldn't follow you in because Selene is in there. It makes me feel you're about to betray me or have already done that.""You're wrong.""Prove it then!" He barked, playing with the blade."I was able to enter there because I am a vampire. I went to that vampire clan to see Jaden because I miss him, but what I found would be interesting to you because it is a secret to end Selene. Do you want to hear it, or are you
My heart was thumping hard and fast inside my chest in excitement as I tried to control my smile at the thought of setting my eyes on Jaden again after all these days. It hadn't been long since we last saw each other, but it felt like a century to me.What made me so giddy the most was the fact that Selene was out of the picture. I don't need a soothsayer to know that because Jaden holds his family higher in priority than anyone else. Just the single thought of Selene hurting his mother was enough to break up any kind of feelings, attraction, or love he claimed to have for her.I have just a few minutes to sneak into his room and get a glimpse through the window. All thanks to the demon magic, which gave me the ability to move like wind and pass through before anyone could notice, and luckily, I had lived here long enough to know the right route to follow in order to see Jaden.Even his voice and scent are stuck in my head, so I definitely know exactly where he was. Without wasting an
"No ooooo!" Callen's scream broke through the room, terror of death in his voice as he sprang from the bed, panting, his eyes wide open as he stared in shock at what was going on. He just couldn't believe it was happening for real. How was he going to accept that this was real, seeing the woman he had called mother for years killing his sister brutally.I gave him deaf ears, picking up Sophia, who was struggling for breath as blood smeared all over her face while her hands spread frantically in an attempt to get help from anywhere.I dragged her up with her hair and smirked as the demon spirit in me took over, increasing my craving for her internal organ. The desire to kill rushed through my entire body like a wave in the ocean, and every cry, scream, and plea that they were dishing out were like songs to my ears.Callen shifted into his wolf form and charged at me, leaping up in the air in an attempt to pounce on me with his claws. He was quick and agile with the Alpha special abilit
