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
As we all walked through the pathway, heading to the royal packhouse, I could see posters of my face stamped on walls and tagged as demon. Different captions label me as a demon who killed people yesterday.It was just so unbelievable and felt like a dream. I was finding it hard to believe all these things were happening in reality.The alarm bell echoed through every corner of the pack, igniting so much fear in everyone as they took to their heels, screaming more and pointing fingers at me. Jaden and Jake found a way to get hold of some of these people running, and there was this shock written all over their faces while returning.Joy just held my hand, also unable to say anything."What is their reason for all this drama?!" I couldn't help asking as soon as Jake and Jaden caught up with us."They said you appeared last night and killed a hundred of them, both old men and women and little children. When your foster father came out to stop you, you lunged at him and slit his throat. T
"Alpha Logan, have you gone out of your mind? You know all you just told Jaden were lies. I didn't harm anyone, both in this pack and in the vampire kingdom. Why did you pull such an allegation on me?!" I gritted my teeth in so much rage, stalking towards him as my heart felt like it was pierced with a thousand knives.I was feeling pained, confused, and extremely angry all at the same time as my eyes glared at the alpha with one thing in my heart to do, and that was slitting his throat. I caught a glimpse of Jaden's eyes after what the alpha said, and the deep sadness I saw in them was something I had never seen before.Jaden was someone who wouldn't leave me for anything, but after hearing that his own mother was brutally hurt, he couldn't bear it. He had to run off to check on her, but what battered my head was this stupid alpha accusing me of doing that. He even added that I killed Ceiline and her parents."You can keep denying, but here is the letter sent to me by Jaden's father.
I released him and turned to the door that led out of the hall. As I faced it, I felt the heaviness of my heart.Tears prickled my eyes from the pain of seeing everyone reject me. I recalled how every member of this pack was scampering away from me in dread. It was true that I didn't hurt anyone. I wasn't the one who brought death on them last night, but with the way they screamed and ran for their lives, I felt like a real monster."What are you waiting for?" Laura's voice crept in, and I looked at her shortly. I had beaten her hard, and she still bleeds profusely from her nose and lips, yet that doesn't stop her hideous smile of victory and satisfaction. "If you stay long, they will barge in here and drag you out. We are sure you'll start killing them mercilessly like you did last night, but this time, how many will you assassinate before getting tired? Just leave us in peace." The Beta rasped, staring at me with that kind of look that makes one feel evil."And you all won't even h
Selene's POV I was stranded, standing outside the boundary as the big gate closed in front of me. I heard as the banning ritual was being made, ending my membership or any kind of link I had with the pack since birth. It was as if they had been waiting for a good reason to do this, as it all went so fast with no one ready to listen to me.A deep, hopeless sigh escaped my lips as I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat, my eyes roaming around the forest and vast expanses of empty land staring back at me. All I could hear were chirps, insects, and free birds flying and singing harmoniously to each other.My eyes moved frantically from right to left as I began to walk, not knowing which way to go. It hurts that there is absolutely no one beside me now. The heart-wrenching sadness of realizing that you might have been abandoned by even your best friend crept inside me.Hot tears burned in my eyes at this moment while I tried drying them, but they kept spilling. I kept asking myself
"I am here because I didn't do it. It wasn't me that massacred my pack members and the ones here. I have no idea about all that because I was with Jaden all through last night. Someone else took my identity and....""I believe you." The woman lying on the bed cut in, before I could even finish what I had to say. Everyone shifted their gazes at her, surprised and confused."Mom, are you for real?!" Jaden gasped, his voice high-pitched like a small child, as he knelt beside her, taking her palm into his. "Yes. This girl can't be the vicious girl who attacked me last night. Never!" She replied, and I let out a soft sigh of relief. At least someone just believed me, apart from my friend."How many werewolves are here?" Jaden's father huffed the question at Jake, especially as he saw how he held Joy's hand firmly."Three." He muttered, scratching his head."I don't smell three. I can only sense two, while this Selene emits a scent like one of us. Why is she having our scent while being a
