From Alassandra's POV Two days had passed since I last saw Ikaris. And Lillian had not responded to any of my text messages or calls. I had yet to look at the file she had left. As much as I wanted to know what was in it, I couldn't find it in me to open it. The memory of my parents flooded my mind at the mere thought of the file. It was all I had left of them. The idea of finding something that would tarnish their memories was unbearable for me.Vero had come to check on me, apologizing for not coming over sooner. In her defense, she said that since I had left with Professor Ikaris, she didn't think anything of it. I couldn't stay mad at her. If the tables had been turned, I wouldn't have thought anything of it."It's fine. I had a good time," I told her as we headed toward our first class. We chatted about our weekend plans before parting ways. Vero gave me a small hug goodbye before heading off to her class.I was excited to start the path to becoming a lawyer, only hoping that I
From Alassandra's POV"Professor Ikaris, it's nice to see you," I replied, glancing around to find some way to escape. Ikaris smiled as he stepped past me and pulled the door open."Just Ikaris, you need not be so formal," he winked, gesturing to me to enter the diner.The Darkroom, true to its name, was a dimly lit chamber adorned with opulent gold seats and crimson tabletops. The walls were adorned with a captivating collection of monochrome photographs, creating an ambiance of intrigue and allure. The bar, well-stocked with an array of spirits, added to the enigmatic atmosphere. From the moment I stepped foot inside, I was inexplicably drawn to this place as if it held a secret that only I could unravel. As I settled down at one of the tables, the mysterious aura of the surroundings both enticed and intimidated me, making me feel an immediate sense of belonging and fascination."Tell me, how did you come across this place?" Ikaris asked. A smirk appeared on his face as his gaze lin
From Ikaris's POVOur peaceful encounter turned into a chaotic scene in the blink of an eye. The waitress, who had just greeted us moments ago, suddenly burst into flames. It was a sight that left me speechless and in shock. Although Alessandra had spoken to her last, I couldn't believe it was anything more than a coincidence. However, as we made our way back to her car, I couldn't shake off the strange feeling that had taken hold of me. There was something different about Alessandra, something I couldn't put my finger on. It was as if she had an aura around her that I had never seen before. Although it piqued my curiosity, it also sent a chill down my spine.As Alassandra opened her car and turned towards me, she remarked, "Well, that was quite interesting." I nodded in agreement, curious to know more. "You never mentioned what brought you to that bookstore," I asked, crossing my arms.Alassandra tilted her head, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "I was strolling through the shoppin
From Alassandra's POVI was utterly scattered mentally. I found myself pondering things that I never imagined would cross my mind. What was supposed to be a peaceful trip into town quickly transformed into an enormous disaster when the waitress suddenly burst into flames. I couldn't comprehend how such a bizarre incident could occur. The echoes of her screams continued to replay in my thoughts, and the expression of sheer shock and terror in her eyes would forever haunt me.Then there was the bookstore. Ikaris' words left me with several questions. I found it incredibly difficult to believe that it had been closed for twelve years. I had been to the store and spoken to the owner; how was this even possible? As much as I had wanted to go back and take another look to bring peace of mind to myself after what happened in the restaurant, I knew there was absolutely no way I could return, at least not for a while. As I came to a stop at the stop light, I shook my head to clear my thoughts
From Alassandra's POVI felt my heart pounding in my chest as I stared at the wolf before me. Even though everything in my body was screaming for me to run, my body was unresponsive. After a mere few moments, I slowly began to step away from him. My first thought was to get to the restroom as quickly as possible so I could lock myself inside. However, it suddenly dawned on me that the bathroom had no windows."That's great. Now I'm thinking like the girls in the horror movies," I thought to myself.As I stood face to face with the wolf, I observed that it wasn't moving but was staring at me. I felt a sense of familiarity when I gazed into its eyes, but I couldn't place it. Taking a few steps back, I also noticed the wolf following me. I felt my heart pounding in my chest as I took another step back. Each time I moved back, the wolf also took a step until we reached the center of the room. We both stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity before the wolf shook its head, lea
From Alassandra's POVOnce again, I felt as though I was falling into an empty void, a void unlike any other I'd ever experienced before. Even though I could see everything around me, there was no sound to be heard. The feeling left me feeling like I was alone in the world, with no one to talk to or share my thoughts with. It was a feeling of complete isolation and emptiness I had never experienced before. The only comfort I felt was that of the sweet taste of blood left in my mouth; it soothed the darkness and kept it calm, yet I still felt something else lurking just beyond the empty void that surrounded me.It felt like my day moved in slow motion; each class seemed to last longer than the last. There was nothing more I wanted to do than lie in bed with my newfound friend and enjoy his warm embrace. Leaving him that morning was the hardest decision I had made thus far. I felt a deeper connection to him than I did before. It was impossible to explain, even I didn't understand it, bu
From Alassandra's POVMy eyes were fixed on the phone in my hand, unsure of what I had just heard. My mouth fell open in shock, leaving me speechless. As far as I knew, my father was dead, and there was no way that was his voice. At least, that is what I thought until I heard it again and realized it was his voice."Alessandra, do you hear me, sweet girl?" my father asked, breaking me out of my thoughts. I looked at Ikaris in an effort to encourage me to answer, and he nodded."Yeah, but how are you..." I said as I closed my eyes, unable to finish the sentence I had started. I suddenly felt like that little girl once again, and suddenly, all the emotions of that night hit me like a freight train, and I felt like I had been transported back to that night when they left. After hearing my father's voice through the phone, I could feel the air around me turn cold as he spoke."Alassandra, please calm down," my father said to me while his voice was tinged with urgency and anger at the same
From Ikaris's POVAs soon as I stepped outside the room, I was inundated with questions. What I heard just a few minutes ago could not have been more unbelievable to me. For years, we were told that Alassandra's parents were dead, and for years, we were dedicated to bringing her here and destroying her. Yet, for some reason, hearing her father's voice was enough to make me question all of the things we had been taught up to this point. As time passed, I had already begun questioning things, but now I had even more reasons to do so, and after finding out I was mated to Alassandra, I was looking at things from a different angle.Taking a deep breath, I mind-linked Moriah and Argos. Although I was unsure of what I would say, I knew I needed to explain it."Argos, Moriah, I need to speak with you both. Meet me in the office in five," I said through the mind-link.The sound of Argos' voice flooded through the mind-link. "I'm a little busy right now, Brother. Can it wait?" he said."Pussy c

From Alassandra's POV The taste of his cock in my mouth, to put it mildly, was overwhelming, and I could not stop myself from savoring it. The intense sensation ignited a fire within me, fueling my desires and leaving me yearning for more. In that moment, I felt a sense of liberation, as if my inhibitions had melted away, allowing me to fully embrace my primal instincts and indulge in the pleasure that engulfed me. The moment he slid his entire length into my mouth, Ikaris moaned in pleasure as his hands gripped my head. "Fuck!" he mumbled. It was with a growing sense of satisfaction that I moaned, knowing he was pleased, when suddenly I left his hands around my shoulders. Ikaris lifted me to my feet and pushed me toward the bed. "As much as I want to fuck you right here and right now, I need to know what the fuck is on?" he said. "Seriously? You don't want to fuck me?" I asked, tilting my head to the side as I slid my fingers down the front of his dick and licked the outside of my
From Alassandra's POVAs a result of my father's words, I was left in a state of shock. At no point did I consider that I might have been pregnant, regardless of the fact that it made sense after all the sex Ikaris and I had together. There was no doubt in my mind that now, more than ever, it was imperative that I find a way out of here; the life of my unborn child depended on it.As darkness fell, I felt the pull of the moon call me. Turning my gaze to the small window-like hole in the ceiling, I stood there staring at the moon. Although it wasn't considered a full moon, something about it was different. Through the small hole, I could see a glowing red ring begin to form around the moon. At that moment, my entire body was filled with a tingling sensation that originated from my toes and worked its way up to my head. Closing my eyes, my head fell back, and I felt myself begin to slowly levitate off the ground. I began chanting words in a language I had never heard myself speak before
From Ikaris's POVI continued to stare at the image in the book: a harpy? How the fuck was that possible? I couldn't figure out why we hadn't seen it sooner. When we looked back on our childhood, there was never any indication that Moriah was anything more than a half-breed. I shook my head in disbelief. Maybe Moriah had been hiding her true nature from us all along. It made me wonder if our parents were aware of the truth, or more importantly, if our father didn't have an affair with Yadhira, then who?It had been six hours since I last heard from Alassandra. My restlessness was starting to get the better of me. Having risen to my feet, I began pacing back and forth, trying to think of the various locations where Moriah might have taken Alassandra. When it dawned on me, it had occurred to me that Vero had followed her numerous times into the thickets of the woods; maybe she had caught a glimpse of the location where she was hiding."Argos, call Vero now," I told him as I rushed back
From Alassandra's POV My eyes were filled with nothing but hatred as I gazed at him with nothing but disdain in my heart. The audacity of my father standing before me with a sinister grin on his face, daring to call me daughter, as if that word meant something to me now. I wanted to scream and lash out at him, but instead, I stayed silent. Knowing full well that my words wouldn't make a difference, I was powerless to stop him at this point. "Is something wrong with you? Have you forgotten your manners? I did not raise you to be so disrespectful to your elders, let alone your parents," my father said as he approached closer. I laughed at his words. "Can you please let me know exactly what it is that you would like me to say? Thank you so much for kidnapping me," I replied in a sarcastic tone. My father glared at me, his face red with anger. "Why can't you just be respectful and say hello to your father?" he asked. "Let's see, you are trying to kill me. You kidnapped me and chained
From Alassandra's POV The sound of water dripping awakened me from my deep sleep and brought me out of the trance that I was in. In the midst of the pounding in my head, I whined in pain. Groaning, I placed my hand on my forehead as I opened my eyes and sat up, only to find myself chained to a wall. "What in the hell?" I murmured to myself as I reached for the chain around my ankle and pulled it. "Ikaris!" I yelled out, "I swear to the goddess I am personally going to see to it that your dick shrivels and falls off if you don't get me out of these chains!" I pulled as hard as I could, trying desperately to free myself, but my efforts were futile, leaving me no choice but to give up. Standing to my feet, I walked around until the chain stopped me. A sigh of frustration filled my lungs as I searched for help, but nobody was in sight. I was on my own. Taking a seat against the wall, I tried to piece together what had happened. Yet, nothing made sense. I recalled going out for a run, b
From Ikairs' POVThe moment I heard Alassandra's voice echo through the mind link, I saw red. Rushing out the door, I didn't even bother to say anything to Argos, Yadhira, or Lillian. As I ran out of the building, I heard Argos' voice through the mind-link."Why did you rush out in the middle of the meeting?" Argos asked."Alassandra's in trouble!" was all I could say.A few moments later, I saw Argos running toward me."Where is she?" Argos asked.The moment those words left his mouth, we were stopped in our tracks by the sight before us. I watched helplessly as Moriah carried Alassandra away. The howlings of Phosphorus reverberated in my head loud and clear. The fact that we couldn't do anything to stop Moriah made it more sinister. After coming to a complete halt, I let out a loud growl of frustration."Impossible," I heard Argos whisper beside me as he was in shock."What the fuuuccck?" I growled as I ran my hand down my face. "Argos, what is she? Tell me what Moriah is?" I said a
From Alassandra's POVMy thoughts ran rampant; as a result, I found it very difficult to focus on anything that was being discussed at the time. About halfway through the meeting, I decided I had had enough. Standing to my feet, I hastily walked out of the office and out of the building.Having a clear mind was what I needed at that moment. The most effective way I knew how to do it was to head out for a run. Rushing to my room, I quickly changed into some gym clothes, grabbed my headphones, and rushed out.This time, I opted to stay away from the woods. It was a constant source of anxiety for me to know that my parents were out there and could be lurking around every corner. As I exited my dorm building, I looked around, trying to determine in what direction I should run. After a few short moments, I decided to take the main street that led to the main gate and choose from there.Shrugging my shoulders, I adjusted my headphones and turned on my Spotify. The moment the sound of "Down
From Alassandra's POV"NO!" my father yelled, an expression of concern filling his voice. After lowering my hands to my side, I stared at him for a brief period of time before I spoke to him."I don't understand. What is the problem? I was under the impression that you wanted what I had taken from you." I said with mockery."It is true that you have stolen what is ours. However, it is not our intention to fight with you," my father replied."Oh, really, you could have fucken fooled us?" Ikaris growled as he stepped toward me."Stay out of this wolf!" echoed my mother's response as she stepped towards my father and gripped his forearm in an act of protection. "Not here," she said, pulling my father back.My head tilted to the side, and my eyes narrowed for a moment as I squinted before taking a step forward, only to hear both of my parents gasp in horror and step back in surprise. The only expression on their faces was one of fear.A sadistic laugh escaped my lips as I turned my back o
