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
"Let her go!!" A shout from Joy was followed by a bang, which forced my eyes open as I also felt the grip on me release instantly.The vampire girl fell to the ground but rose almost immediately, growling in fury as her eyes blazed with pain and anger. Joy had hit her with an iron rod so hard that I could see blood dripping down her temple.I also flopped heavily on the ground, weakened and finding it hard to breathe as I had lost a lot of blood, and being a wolf who hadn't made her first shift, my system was finding it so hard to heal the deep wounds. My head was hazy, but I struggled to keep my eyes open. Joy rushed at me frantically, not minding that the vampire girl was already up to her feet and was boiling in extreme anger."Are you alright?" Joy's cracking voice came in as she held me in her arms, her teary eyes peering down at me as a few drops of those hot tears fell on my face."Who is she, and why is she attacking you to death?! Why is a vampire here without being sensed?!
"Your Highness, what answer are we giving him? Should I send him away since you have been silent on his question?" The voice of one of my personal guards echoed in my head, drifting me back from the realm of deep thoughts I never knew I had drowned in.I didn't hear whatever question was asked of me, nor did I notice there was someone in front of me. I had suddenly gotten lost in deep thought about this wolf woman. Her face had suddenly filled my head like a thick cloud in the sky before a heavy downpour.I can't really explain or understand why I was suddenly thinking deeply about her, fantasizing about the little moments we spent together, and recalling how pretty her smile was and the warmth her cool, sexy voice sent to my heart.It was as if I had allowed myself to lose someone so special. It had been many years, and I actually succeeded in putting her in the past as I was a man with no heart to love, but just today, all of a sudden, I had lost all ability to stop thinking about h
I giggled and leaned closer to his ear."You are making me wet." I whispered innocently, and he chuckled with his sweet baritone, which turns me on even more."Let me be your doctor. I have a treatment for that." His voice was suddenly deep and sensual as his eyes filled with desire penetrated mine, making my heart skip a beat and begin to race erratically."What treatment do you have in mind, doc?" I giggled, my cheeks flushing pink instantly as I blushed really hard."I will have to check, you know." He let out a sly smile and outstretched his hand to me."I love you!!" I shouted in so much excitement that it was busting inside of me. It was as if every part of me was melting.I took his hand, and he led me like a newlywed wife, tenderly and gently, as we both strided through the hallway to his room.Entering his bedroom, I was immediately captivated by the aura of masculine elegance that enveloped the space. The walls were adorned with rich, earthy tones, complemented by subtle tex
We stayed in that position for some minutes, clinging to each other as he whispered words of love to me, making me blush from time to time. His body wrapped around me, making me so warm, and his words tendered my heart, especially how his voice sounded, reeking with affection.I didn't even know when I went to sleep.Actually, I can't tell how long I had dozed off, but when I woke and opened my eyes, I was faced with his pair of green eyes on me as if he were scanning my face. He was lying on his side, propped up on one elbow, his hand supporting his head as he maintained a steady gaze at me with a smile on his face."You didn't sleep?" I beamed, feeling the duvet that was over my body."I slept, but I woke before you and took the opportunity to stare at you more. You look prettier and sexier when asleep with your small pouty lips slightly apart and a little smile gracing your face." He whispered, making me chuckle."My cheeks might burn from blushing a lot. You're making me float."
I closed my eyes for a few seconds and opened them, hoping it would all end up being a hallucination from the suffering and pain I had gone through. I was expecting to open my eyes and see just Laura, not this man of evil and demonic power.It shouldn't be true that the dreaded demon king was back to life and could now live among us. It really can't be real that Laura committed the abomination of invoking his remains with the dark mirror and helping him to reform again.I know werewolves are bad and wicked, something we, the vampires, have been taught in school, but not to the extent of conniving with the demons when they are our common enemy.The demon clan had brought nothing but death and misery to both us and the werewolves in the past. It was only with the help of the Lycan king and his members that the heroes of the past got victory over the demons, but that was after an intense battle of bloodshed.Everyone knows that. We all read about that great war and won't ever pray for it
"I also have to remind you once again that you are in no position to contest or contemplate whether to do it or not. No negotiations, or I will trigger the snakes now, and you won't have any chance to change your mind again. So I ask, Are you in?" Laura questioned sternly with no remorse in her eyes.She has lost her humanity. Her heart must be cold and dead. Killing my parents sounded so common to them, and she won't even give me time to think..."Why must I kill my parents? Anyone else but them, please?" I begged, and they both hissed in annoyance."We are the ones to tell you who to put to death. You don't own your life anymore, little girl." I heard the demon king snort at me. My heart sank into my stomach. Regret and guilt filled me to the brim as tears prickled and fell freely down my cheeks."Why not just kill me? Kill me!" I screeched, feeling exhausted as sweat and tears bathed my face."Ceiline, think about the brighter side. Your parents are old and will eventually die very
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
