Elizabeth’s POV

-

“We should call the cops” I begin to panic. Benedict’s been working at the store a year before I started and I do recall the owner mentioning the previous part-timers being fired on cases of theft to which Benedict had reported to her himself.

“Doesn’t it sound suspicious, that he’s the one claiming to have been the one to have caught them? That’s damn shady and your boss is unbelievable! It’s obvious he’s the one behind it and he’s been pinning it on them to secure his honeycomb” Angie hisses, angrily stomping her foot.

“That’s why we need to call the cops, right? What if he pins it on me this time?” My fear speaks for me and Angie stops her act and holds my hand, giving me a firm look. “We’ll need to have strong evidence to use against him first”.

“What’re you suggesting we do then, go in now and tell them we know what they do?” Oh wait, that’s stupid of me.

Angie gives me a ‘really?’ look and I rescind away as she sighs, “Don’t be silly, Beth. I have an

She’s been bugging me all evening to send her to Angie’s so she can see her and Beth. There’s no refusing her or she turns my office upside down until I concede to her demands.“Sigh, just stay calm. We’ll be there soon- didn’t you mention Beth having a part-time job?” I calmly say to her, recalling she had indeed mentioned my mate was working at some small store. Elaine goes thinking for a moment before shooting forward in her seat.“Dhirv, there’s a small grocery store just opposite the street she lives,” She tells him eagerly and I watch the sheer joy on her face as she anticipates meeting her. It’s not unusual for Elaine to attach herself to someone like she’s latched onto my mate. However, this is so much different from usual.I look away, mulling over my thoughts about that delectable human. Oblivious to the compulsory att

    Vyin’s POV-I empty the glass of tequila in a swing and slam it gently onto my desk as I let out a tiring sigh. Throwing my head over the top of the swivel chair, I stare into nothing, recollections of last night with my human mate flooding into the tranquility of my mind.“Elizabeth...” I test her name on my lips, envisioning her image as she politely refused my offer. Be it her overt disregard for me or her humble politeness, she stubbornly refutes me in every way. Making it hard to get close at all.‘It’s not like your cold attitude does any better’ Rex sneers in my head and I clench my jaw, sitting upright and drilling my gaze into the empty glass. That’s when I hear the door come open and I look up to see Dhirv shuffling in and towards.“You look troubled,” He notices and I relax back, swaying the chair a little to the right as I tap my fingers over the downward-curved armrest, returning my gaze to the glass on the table.“Nova might think it best not to talk about it

    Vyin’s POV-“What a pleasure to finally meet you, boss” Speaking so casually in address to me is Chester, one of the underlings appointed by me through a higher-ranked underling, to head the branch office here in Mapo, Oren city. A cunning one, I must add. His resilience to gain closure with me and flaunt his loyalty at every given opportunity is a major conflict among the boys.“I take it you’ve met with the transporter before this meeting?” I ask, settling into the chair behind the large desk while they all remain standing in reverence to me. Chester steps closer to the desk, eager to get on my good side as he gives his response.“I have, boss. Charles had introduced him at the meeting a couple of days back...” He begins to gush on and I draw back a bit at the mention of that name. ‘Charles...so he finally surfaced, huh’.“Bring him in”. I snap out of my brief daze to see Chester signaling one of his boys who bows curtly and steps out of the office. He then turns back to me

You won’t feel the pressure getting to be around these strangers and get to feel at ease”.“That’s so not convincing” I squint my eyes, not believing her words as I serve Angie’s grilled cheese sandwich and Americano. “And you, what excuse do you have?” I attack her next and she flushes, drilling her gaze to the table, “Uh...it’s just as Elaine says. That’s it”.I shake my head at them, holding the tray, “You both should drink up and leave. You’re occupying space for potential customers”. My cold voice makes Elaine put on a pouty face as she protests, “Don’t chase us out, Beth. It’s not like we’re not paying, you know”.I dodge her puppy eyes, meeting gazes with Nova coming this way. “That’s not it, you both order onl

    Elizabeth’s POV-“The bitch’s finally cracked, she’s gone crazy!” Not like their claims are false at all, but I think it’s far worse than that as she begins to drive her nails into the boy’s face, unflinching from his desperate struggles and cries to be set free.It feels unreal, the speed she quips and the fluid movements of her body as she attacks her assailants. Like watching a superhero action movie, I’m stuck in place, maybe a bit in awe as Elaine renders each boy immobile one after the other. Their cries are deafening and the curdling snaps of bones rattle me but it amazes me, after watching such an animalistic display, I feel no ounce of fear for her.Panting, chest rising and falling with unsteadiness, Elaine remains hunched over as she attempts to catch her breath. All around us, chairs and tables were broken and turned over...I gulp, finding the strength in my limbs to move but my body seems paralyzed from fright to budge a muscle.“Elaine...” At least my voice doe

    Elizabeth’s POV-Done cleaning the shop, I walk into the changing -room and check my phone to see I’ve got five missed calls from Angie. I panic, redialing her line as I place the phone on the table. Angie picks at the second ring, her angry voice scolding me at first as I inch the phone away from my ear.“Calm down, ugh. I was busy cleaning up What? Why does he want to come as well, were you two on a date or something?” I tease her and begin to giggle at her hopeless denial as I pick my coat from the rack and step out of the changing room.“Quit nagging at me and spend some time with your crush. I’m hanging up now, see you” I end the call amidst her rants, sighing as I put the phone away. Elaine had dragged me to a phone store and forced it on me. I know I do need one and I’ve been saving for it but...oh well, can’t dwell on that.“Hm, is Sion still around?” I notice a light at the end of the descent of stairs and begin to pad gently down.

I know he’s doom itself but… ‘Can he be any more inhumane?’“I won’t ask you again, fucking dipshit” He growls, so innate and frightening as he plucks the man off the ground, with no remorse in the way he pulls him up by his hair and against his cries as he repeats in a final tone. “How many of you were there?”I’m unaware of my body moving closer to where they are until Vyin narrows his eyes in my direction, his peripheral capturing my presence. The grotesque look on his face drops several deranged levels and he tosses him to the ground, his body twisting as he comes lurching towards my direction at once.I gasp, having little time to question how I got so close when I register his charging form and pedal backward, turning around to break into a run for it.“Get back here, E

    Elizabeth’s POV-I blink, watching the actual most beautiful woman I’ve ever been fortunate to see, make her graceful, effeminate, and gentle gait inwards. All eyes cynosure her way like magnets as her heels make soft taps over the wooden floor along her stride. Large hips sway here and there as the red-hot, off-shoulder dress she’s wearing grips every inch of her immensely endowed body like a swimsuit.Wavy brunette length of hair pours effortlessly over her right shoulder as she draws nearer to- ‘Me?!’ Whipping off the dark shades from her face, she adorns an ethereal smile, emerald-greens gleaming as her red lips part to address me.“Hi, are you a worker here, Can you bring me to Vyin?”‘Did she just mention Vyin?’ I fail to do as told and her face contorts into a puzzled expression as she makes to ask again. Paraphrasing, “Or isn’t he in his office?”I shake out of it, patching a nervous reply, “Um...no, he’s in uh, I should bring you to meet him”. Her face replaces wi

I settle down and look between him and Mao before lowly asking again, “He fought with them?” “It’s not uncommon among us, you know,” Mao starts to say in a rather calm tone. “Especially among Alpha families. If there are sons and daughters, or even just a son, it’s a test the son has to carry out to determine if his sister’s mate is worthy of her.” I bite down my protest and frown. “Ludis isn’t just any wolf, he’s an Alpha male and of the heterochromatic bloodline,” I argue defensively and Kashira shrugs, “I admit all four of them were powerful and Ludis didn’t make it out without a few bruises.” “But the kid won, and the princess is his,” He cheers, munching his dish of Chow Mein. Doing well to quell my argument as I growl stubbornly and Mao smiles at me. “This is great! I haven’t been to a Chinese restaurant in ages.” “Eat up and leave,

    Danika’s POV.-I’m nervous. This is the most I’ve been in years. I can’t even breathe properly. Clutching my mate’s arm, I lean against him, trembling as I try to stabilize my breath. The Faeries who’ve helped me into my bedazzling nature-enchanted gown stare at me with confidence, trying to restore my timid brave spirit as I shut my eyes for a moment.I feel his soothing palm brush over mine and his tender voice speaks to me, “Do you want to sit down for a minute and pull yourself together?” Then he takes on a sarcastic edge, “Or I can just go out there and let them know you’re not up for it.”I growl and snap my eyes open to glare at him who smirks at me, poking between my brows as he says, “Yeah, that’s it. We can start from there.”Thanks to his tease, I’m a bit annoyed and I use that emotion to shake myself out of it. Ridding the unwanted anxiety and uncertainties that latch onto my frame and heart. Grabbing the bodice of my shimmering gown, I step forward.“I’ve kept

Although it might seem as if Emma’s so smitten as she fusses endlessly, running her trembling lips, blinking her eyes, nervously fiddling with her hair, and unable to tone down the heat resplendent on her face...Taren is keeping cool about it but, it’s evident that he enjoys the reaction he’s eliciting from her.I don’t want to be privy to what they’re talking about. I muster a small smile, watching them a little longer as I feel a familiar presence close in on me. When her trembling fingers try to touch her hair, Taren beats her to it, sleekly sliding his fingers against hers to tuck it behind her steaming ear. At that stunning action, their gazes meet and hold for a moment before Taren averts his to smirk a little while Emma palms her face.“She’d never let Lian hear the end of it. But here she is, acting so silly like a girl experiencing her first love.”I raise a brow at Elaine who grins at me, only to have me deb

    Danika’s POV.-“You’ll sell the property?”“We’ve thought about it and that’s the conclusion we came down with.”Those voices sound familiar. I groan in my sleep, rousing sluggishly along my slow turn over. On my back with my hand rustling the sheets in search of my mate, I frown and open my eyes. I jump out of bed, pick up a random shirt from the floor, and pull into it along my exit.“Now, don’t look gloomy. It was never a home for you.”“Still, it’s where we grew up. Have a rethink, Christian. You’re making a hasty decision.”Found him. Wearing a gummy smile, I embrace him from behind, pressing against his bare back and snaking my arms around his waist as I drag my forehead up to his shoulder. He probably sensed me coming, that’s why I don’t elicit much of a reaction from him. I want to place my head on his shoulder but find Liam staring at me with heavy drowsy eyes.“Why you this little...” I whisper at him and his hazy eyes clear to revive a grin. Liam pecks my nose

    Danika’s POV.-Why’s she with the Elf? How did she get here so fast? Puzzled, I walk towards them. Aunt Sue raises the Elf’s head onto her thighs and stares at him with a form of sadness I don’t understand. I watch them with scrutiny, how the Elf barely moves with his breath fading fast while Aunt Sue takes his numb hand in hers.“Sue...” He rasps, his voice almost just air. But she hears him, and so do I as I keep away. “...I’m sorry I couldn’t...go back to you...properly...”The little life force inside of him disappears after he says that. Aunt Sue hugs his head to her chest, trembling softly as she mutters in a shaky voice, “The times you did...they reached me.”‘Seems like they had something going on in the past,’ Violate ponders while I just stare at her as she slides her palm over his eyes to shut his eyelids. She gently guides his head off her thighs to settle on the floor as if he’s only sleeping.“Every sinner deserves even one person to mourn them.”I push forw

In a flash, Elizabeth and Chestnut fall over the handrail and Grandma Bo breathes her last. Shock stuns me in place, with eyes spreading wider each slowly ticking second as I remain numb and unperceptive for a moment.“Watch them die.”It all rushes back into me in an instant. The ravenous and black rage that consumed me before, sets my being ablaze in a breath. I leap over the handrail, going after them. I don’t see Chestnut. Elizabeth is still in her bind and I catch her when she’s just an inch from the floor.“Your Highness! This is the worst to have happened.” I hold my sister close, barely succeeding at holding my rage to force a turn around so I can see Tara and my mate. I see Chestnut is with my mate and I hand over Elizabeth to them.“You all should leave...help Yi Wen...and get the Tuyens out of here,” I manage to growl, the last r

Only to growl ever nefariously at the face of my grinning enemy standing across from me – with the stolen Grimoire in hand.“Heh, think you’d get me so easy?” He grins diabolically, intentionally hinting at the large black voluminous book in his hand. “I commend your prowess for making it this far, but this is as far as you-”Cut to the chase already. I ain’t got time for pointless blabbering!I’m onto him with a breath, working my maw aggressively, pounding my hefty paws here and there, breaking the floor and sending tremors through the walls- it’s now it comes to me. This is no longer the haunted maze. We’re inside the Tuyen’s mansion. What a sneaky game indeed.I snag him with a swing of my left paw, smacking the side of his head to send him smashing through a wall. The result isn’t gratifying, it only burns my fury

You’re not thinking of rushing off, are you?” Taren questions behind me as we sprint back to the car. “Persuading me won’t work, Taren,” I cut him off coldly. “You heard that thing as clearly as I did.”We get to the car and I briefly turn to face him as I drop rustily, barely keeping my tumultuous rage in check so I don’t snap at him, “I don’t need your help to go save them.”I grab the handle and yank the driver’s door open, zeroing my smoldering orbs on my mate as I give the command, “Move over to the passenger seat.”They all regard me with surprise, Charles blinking at me like I’m someone else. He frowns and attempts to challenge me, only to flinch at the realization of something and lean worriedly towards me. “Is something wrong? Why do you look so angry?”“We’re only wasting valuable time,” I swat his concern aside and use my ability to make the shift happen. I snatch control of the steering wheel, startling my sister to prote

I cringe at the reek of heat oozing from my body as I enter the Pack House with my mate behind me. It’s hard not to inhale the stench, and it’s driving me crazy. “Sparing with Alpha Vyin and Ludis for over three hours sure is taking its toll,” I grumble with a crumpled face. I toss my face aside as if I can detach my soul from my body, inadvertently robbing myself of sensing where I’m heading. That’s when my right foot bumps into something and my body lurches forward with a yelp. “If you were going to become this grumpy, you shouldn’t have chosen to spar in both wolf and human forms.” I cringe pathetically at the flat tone of my mate who’s saved me with an arm around my waist. “We don’t have much time,” He begins to say after helping me straighten up. “You go freshen up, in the meantime, I’ll go get the kids.” It’s day four already, and to
