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
"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
"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...
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
Selene's POVHave you ever wondered what it feels like to be buried alive? How terrifying and torturous it could be like. When all your lives and memories come flashing through your eyes and you realize soon enough it will all be over. When your mind starts to wander and you begin to think about all the things you will never get to do again.You start to feel like you're slipping away, and you know that death is inevitable as the pain pierces deeper than you could bear, yet you can't open your mouth to scream.This was the same nightmare I go through once every month, buried under the confinement filled with wolfsbane potion mixed with silver. Being buried in this sizzling chemical as a werewolf was a horrifying experience that can induce a sense of dread in even the bravest souls.It was an ordeal that involved being trapped in a small, confined transparent box with little to no room to move. The darkness and the silence can be suffocating, and the only thing that can be heard is the
Three Years Later...Selena's POVI sat on the cold, hard ground of my small bedroom, knees pulled up to my chest, as I listened sadly to the cheering and happy chattering voices coming from the other side of the thin walls, along with the sounds of cutlery hitting against each other.The Alpha, Luna, and Betas were all eating, and I had to wait till they were done so I would scavenge on the leftovers like dog that is if there were any, but my greatest fear was having to face them while packing the plates after they are done.It was always their chance to humiliate me, From the Alpha, Luna, and Beta: They all look for a way to hurt me, but the Luna was worst and more cruel to me which was something I found hard to understand because she wasn't even there when I transformed to a vampire.Why does she hate me so much?It had been a year since the Alpha found her as his second chance mate after he lost his first mate in a battle with the rogues and I had suffered more terribly in her han
Just then, I began to hear quick footsteps stomping in the direction of my room and I groaned, slumping in the bed tiredly.Who again?Just as expected, my door burst open, and the Luna stepped in with a smirk.She stood tall and elegant, smelling so nice and alluring, adorned with a gown of deep crimson, the rich fabric flowing elegantly around her as she moved, highlighting her slender figure and emphasizing her curves with her long, flowing hair cascading down her back in blonde waves giving her a pretty innocent appearance, but her heart is the opposite.Cold, Ugly, dirty and cruel."Good evening, Queen." I greeted nervously wondering why she was here again. She quickly covered her nose as if I was stinking."Not all body guards you will listen to especially those close to me." She snickered then walked closer while I fumed silently. So she was the one who did that."Yes ma'am." I mouthed and she scoffed."You must be waiting for us to actually finish eating so you can go lick up
"Yes, let's sneak outside please. it has been years. I can't wait any longer!!" My wolf, Sienna, howled and kicked at me with urgency, as if she would die if I change my mind."What if we get caught?!" I sighed."What if we don't get caught?!" She replied almost immediately, kicking me gently again."It's risky, especially with the kind of hatred everyone has for us. We...""Life is all about risk!!" She shouted, and I couldn't hold my laughter."We will be whipped 20 times for this!""That's if they even find out. And tonight, we already have excruciating torture waiting for us. Let's just have this moment to savor." She whined, and I nodded."But....""No Buts.... We haven't attempted to sneak out before. They won't expect this, and we won't take long before returning. No one really cares about us and won't notice we are out for these few minutes! Remember how busy they all are in preparation of the full moon festival tonight." She coaxed in enthusiasm, as if there were something sp

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
