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
"Okay, I will do as you said as long as you will still help me become the Lycan king's bride and have his baby." I muttered under my breath, feeling a bit guilty at the thought of killing Callen and Sophia, but if they are the sacrifice I have to offer to get what I so much desire, then I am ready to do it."I can't take back my promise. And I hope you know the child you'd be carrying isn't his, but he will never find out, so no worries." He let out a smug smile, bringing out a bunch of keys from his pocket."I have done a lot of abomination in this pack, so I can't stay here any longer. The Moon Ball Festival is next week; please don't fail me. I need to go home with the Lycan king." I pleaded, tears almost forming in my eyes.I wasn't sorry or sad for whatever sins I had committed against this pack, and I didn't care if they perished or not, but it would be my greatest nightmare to fail at the end and join among the people who would face the wrath of the demons when they overthrew u
"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
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
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
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
