"Adrian is here to see you."

I didn't speak for a moment. I could feel the anger boiling inside me slowly at the mention of his name. What did he want with me? Did he come here to make a mockery of me?

Wait, no. I couldn't think that just yet.

Everything he did to me happened in my past life, so now I have the chance to find out how long he'd been planning his betrayal. I had to act friendly and fool him into thinking I was on his side.

Time to test out your acting skills, Lindsey, I told myself.

"Tell him I'll be right out," I said to Sue, then headed to my closet.

I changed into the sexiest dress I could find and fixed my hair before seeing Adrian. I vowed to make him sorry for what he did to me from this point on.

"Lindsey!" Adrian beamed at me.

The old me would've exploded from joy upon looking at him, but the new me was trying her best to control her anger. So when I gazed into his blue eyes, all I could think about was strangling him to death.

"Adrian. What brings you here?" I sa

    Dance with Adrian? I'd only been dreaming about this for years, and now my wish was about to come true. But instead of being happy, I was afraid. I can't forget the emotionlessness in Adrian's eyes as he looked at me before I died. I couldn't let myself fall in love with Adrian again. I wouldn't let history repeat itself! Because the last time I gave my heart to this man, I lost everything. I couldn't let it happen to me again, so I had to be strong. "No, thank you," I said and offered him a polite smile. Tonight was my night. I wouldn't let myself fall for his good looks so easily this time. Adrian's eyes lit up in shock. "What do you mean?" "I mean, I don't want to dance with you, Adrian. Maybe you should dance with Betty instead?" I offered. I saw Betty's eyes turn wide in my peripheral vision. She knew how much I wanted Adrian, so hearing me say this must be a big shock to her. Adrian shook his head. "I don't understand. Are you refusing to dance with me? What's going on wit

    Adrian POV This was not how I imagined things would go with Lindsey tonight. I thought it would be easy to make her fall for me since she's had a crush on me since we were little. At least, that's what Betty made me believe. But when I asked her to dance with me, she refused! I was taken aback by her aloofness, and then, to make the matter worse, my brother came out of nowhere and swooped her off her feet.What the actual fuck! "What's going on? Why are you making that face?" Betty giggled, irritating me even more. "Why are you asking me this? Did you not see what just happened?" I barked. Betty can be so oblivious sometimes. Betty pouted. "You don't have to snap at me! I was just asking. So what if she didn't want to dance with you? You will have more chances to talk to her." "I thought you said she liked me!" I hated to whine, but Lindsey hurt my ego by walking out with my brother. I couldn't let her do that to me. "She does! Just give her some time. Maybe being in that f

    I felt electricity running through my veins, and my body heat rose as my lips touched his cheek. I felt a tingling sensation all over. My heart thumped against my chest. What was this strange feeling? "Are you okay?" Alvis tilted his brow as he stared at me intently. He must be wondering why I look so nervous. "F...fine," I stammered. "You don't look so fine. You look pale. Did kissing my cheek disgust you that much?" he joked. "What? No way. That's not it," I protested. I didn't want to tell him how my body reacted to his touch. It was too embarrassing. Alvis suddenly grabbed my waist and pulled me closer. He leaned down, and I shivered as his lips nearly touched my earlobe. "Are you lying to me, Lindsey?" he whispered. I stirred in his arms but didn't push him off. "I am not..." I choked on my words as the room was suddenly bright. I quickly pulled away from Alvis. "Ladies and gentlemen! I have an important announcement to make!" I turned to the man standing on a podium with

    The next day, I prepared myself mentally to gather the courage to talk to Alvis. I knew he supported me, but would he agree to train me? What if he thought it was a waste of his time? I was well aware of my physique. He must look at me and think I am weak. I couldn't blame him since most people thought I was delicate and feminine. I kept to myself and avoided training with other werewolves in my pack, so this was going to be a big move for me. I took a deep breath and dialed his number. I didn't have a lot of time to waste. "Hello?" I stopped breathing for a moment as I heard his deep and husky voice on the other line. My heart started palpitating, and my ears felt like they were on fire. Dammit, Lindsey. Get it together," I scolded myself in my mind. "Who is calling? I can hear you breathing," Alvis barked. "It...it's me...Lindsey," I said timidly. "Lindsey? You are calling me? Is there something wrong?" he sounded worried. "I am fine. I was wondering if we could meet up toda

    The next day, I dragged myself out of my bed to start my training with Alvis. I never understood people who liked to wake up before sunrise. How can they say goodbye to their bed so early in the morning? Besides, it was extra for me to wake up because I couldn't sleep last night. As soon as I closed my eyes, I dreamt about Adrian. No, it was not a dream, more like a terrible nightmare. In that deep state of sleep, I saw Adrian trying to murder me in my sleep. Have you ever watched yourself dying in your sleep? It's horrifying! Alvis was waiting for me at the same spot as yesterday, so I waved and smiled at him. "You were almost late," he grumbled. "Yes. I am really sorry. I swear I'm taking this very seriously," I let him know. "Good." We didn't speak to each other for a moment, so I looked down at the ground. I'd never spent time with Alvis before, so this felt...strange. I realised I knew nothing about Alvis. Who was he? What did he like? What kind of woman did he want as hi

    I stopped once I finished running all the laps. Alvis looked at me and nodded in approval. "I'm impressed, Lindsey. I didn't think you could run this fast, but you've improved since day one. Great job." My heart swelled in pride. Maybe there was a light at the end of the tunnel after all. I may not win in this competition but I wouldn’t look like a weakling either. It has been two days since Alvis started training me, and I already felt like I was tired and beaten down. But I can't give up now. I had to keep going. "We are practicing archery today," Alvis announced once I met him at our usual spot. Archery? I was not new to it, but I had difficulties with it in the past. "You have to be precise at hitting your target. Those with higher points will be in the top five, so you must hit the bullseye as much as possible. How's your hand-eye coordination?" Alvis tilted his brow. "Terrible," I murmured. Alvis rolled his eyes. "Okay, I guess we have work cut out for us then. Don't wor

    I stood there and stared at Alvis, not making a single movement. Did he really expect me to fight him? Or was he teasing me again? "You are joking, right?" I squealed. "No, I am not joking. Charge at me and then punch me," Alvis said. "But..." "Lindsey!" Alvis barked. "You are thinking too hard. You won't have time to think during the competition. You will be expected to fight. So act quick." Alvis paused, then took a step back from me. "Or would you rather everyone think you are weak and pathetic?" He raised his eyebrows. Anger flared inside me. What was he trying to say? I was not a quitter. Maybe I was weak and pathetic in my past life, but not this time. This wasn't the old Lindsey anymore. "I'm not weak," I said grimly. "Well then, if you're going to be fighting against other wolves, you might as well test your strength on the strongest there is," he said and gestured with his hands for me to come towards him. I bent my head to both sides and breathed in deeply. With my

    On the day of the competition, I felt confident. I may not win at this, but I knew I wouldn't go down without a fight. I felt that I had changed a lot. I felt like I was worthy of being the daughter of an alpha and that I would not embarrass the Smollett family. Alvis came to see me right before the competition to wish me luck. "You look good, Lindsey. Are you ready for this?" He asked me. "I'm ready for this, Alvis. I've been waiting for this all week," I said, trying to make myself sound confident. "Don't think too hard. Stay confident and remember not to attack your opponent senselessly." Alvis took my hand in his. "You can do this, Lindsey." My eyes nearly teared up. It felt good to have someone who believed in me for once. Even my father and mother tried to discourage me last night. "Lindsey! So you are competing for real," Betty sounded surprised. "Yes. I said I would, didn't I?" I frowned. Was she trying to undermine me again? "I thought you weren't serious. There is no

    My mind couldn't process what Cresil was saying. My brothers? How could that be possible? I had grown up with them, thinking we were just cousins.“What? How would you know that?” I asked.Cresil's expression turned serious. "I have my ways of finding out information," he said cryptically. "But more importantly, you need to understand that this doesn't change anything. You and your brothers are still family, and you still love each other just as much as before."I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing thoughts. "I know that," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "It's just a lot to take in."Cresil nodded. "I know it is. But I kept the end of my bargain and told you the secret. What you want to do with it is up to you.”I need to talk to my mother, I thought you myself.Cresil seemed to sense my thoughts. "It would be a good idea to confront your mother about this.Taking a deep breath, I got up from the bed. “Take me back to my house.”Cresil nodded and stood up, taking my

    I sighed, feeling a mix of annoyance and attraction towards Cresil. I knew he was trying to push my buttons, but I couldn't deny that I wanted him too.I stood up and slowly began to undress, letting my clothes fall to the ground one by one. Cresil's eyes roamed over my body, his gaze hungry and possessive."Beautiful," he breathed, reaching out to touch me.I stepped away, feeling a sense of defiance growing within me. "You still haven't told me what I need to know," I reminded him.Cresil smirked. "Always so focused on business. I still haven't gotten everything I wanted from you.""Why do I get to be the only one standing here naked? That's not fair," I said. Cresil chuckled. "You have a point there. Come here," he said, pulling me towards him.I kept my eyes glued to his body as he began to undress. His human form was sculpted to perfection but that's not what attracted me about him. "I want you to change back to your true form," I said in a hoarse whisper.Cresil looked at me w

    When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a dimly lit room, sitting on a plush couch. My head was pounding, and my body felt heavy and sluggish. I tried to get up, but my limbs refused to cooperate. Panic set in as I realized I was trapped. I turned to look for Cresil, but he was nowhere to be seen."Cresil, where are you?" I called out, my voice echoing in the empty room.A moment later, the door opened, and someone walked in, a smug grin on his face. "Welcome to my humble abode," he said, gesturing around the room. "I hope you find it to your liking.""Err...who are you?" I looked at him with confusion. "Where is Cresil? He was the one who kidnapped me." I observed him closely. This man had long hair too, but his skin didn't have the greyish-purple hue, and his eyes weren't Amber. They were bright blue."I see you don't recognize me in my human form," he laughed.The sound of his voice...it suddenly dawned on me. "You are Cresil!"He chuckled. "Look who figured it out."“You look….”

    I stood there, stunned and unsure of what to do next. Part of me wanted to run away from him, to forget about the dangerous and alluring demon that stood before me. But another part of me was drawn to him, like a moth to a flame.I knew that I should leave, but I couldn't bring myself to move. He must have sensed my hesitation because he reached for me again. "I said get out of here," he growled, but there was a hint of desperation in his voice as if he didn't really want me to go.I closed my eyes and leaned into his touch, feeling a strange sense of comfort in his rough fingers against my skin. "I don't want to leave," I whispered. "I want to help you."He let out a bitter laugh. "Help me?" he repeated. "I don't need help. I'm a demon, remember?""And I am a dragon. We aren't all that different," I said.He looked at me for a long moment, his amber eyes piercing into my soul. "Perhaps you're right," he said finally, his voice low and gravelly. "But you need to understand that I am n

    As we made our way back to the main area of the pack, my mind was racing with questions. What was Rhys hiding from me? And why was this demon so intent on causing trouble?I decided to take Rhys aside and get some answers. "Hey, can we talk for a minute?" I said, pulling him aside.He looked at me, his expression guarded. "Sure, what's up?""I just wanted to know what you're not telling me," I said, crossing my arms. "You said you and the demon had a history. What did you mean by that?"Rhys sighed, running a hand through his hair. "It's complicated," he said. "Let's just say that I made a deal with him a long time ago, and it didn't end well."I raised an eyebrow. "A deal? What kind of deal?"Rhys hesitated before answering. "He wanted something from me, and I agreed to give it to him. But he didn't hold up his end of the bargain.""What did he want?"Rhys sighed, his shoulders slumping. "I know," he said, his voice quiet.

    I stared at the deer, dumbfounded.Did Fae deer know how to speak too?But my questions were answered immediately as the deer started shifting.As I watched in amazement, the deer's body began to morph and contort, its limbs elongating and twisting into something that was definitely not natural. Within moments, the deer had transformed into a strange man.My jaw dropped as I took in the transformation before me. His features were almost otherworldly. His hair was long and tangled, and his eyes seemed to glimmer with an ethereal light.The man seemed unbothered by my shock and awe, "nothing to say?" he said in a calm and measured tone."Um...are you a werewolf? Wait, no. Werewolves can't shift into another animal. So you are no dragon, either. So what are you?" I asked.He glared at me. "None of your business.""It is too my business. You are trespassing.

    I am Aurora, a dragon shifter who is unlike any other. I am half-dragon and half-werewolf, a unique combination that has never been seen before.My mom Lindsey used to say that I was a miracle as dragons and werewolves were never supposed to breed. You might thing it would make me feel more powerful and unique but that wasn't always the case. As a child, I struggled to control my transformations, often shifting between my dragon and werewolf forms at the most inconvenient times. But as I grew older, I learned to harness my powers and use them to my advantage.My life was complicated, to say the least. I never felt like I fit in with either the dragons or the werewolves. The dragons saw me as a half-breed, not fully one of their own, while the werewolves were wary of my dragon side, which they saw as a potential threat.But despite these challenges, I refused to let my mixed heritage hold me back. I trained tirelessly to master my powers and become the best warrior I could be, alway

    I watched her flip through her book furiously and grinned secretly.She had no idea I was faking the whole thing and that stupid love potion didn't work on me either. I just thought it'd be funny to pull a prank on her. But what I didn't expect was how much I enjoyed kissing her. Fuck, that was hot. "There! The antidote for the love potion," Natasha muttered."An antidote, huh?" I said sheepishly."Yes so you wouldn't be in love with me anymore," Natasha said seriously."Hmm...but what if I want to stay in love with you?" I winked playfully.Natasha blushed. "Don't be silly," she mumbled. I chuckled and leaned in closer to her. "I'm not being silly, Natasha. I really like you."Her eyes widened in surprise and she pulled away slightly. "Whatever. After the antidote, you'll come to your senses," she said and then proceeded to make the antidote for the love potion.I watched her in amazement as she busily threw stuff in her pot and mumbled bunch of gibberish.As she worked, I couldn'

    NatashaOh my god, I couldn't believe he actually did it. Andrew drank the love potion!What would happen now?I stared at him, wide-eyed. But I'm not super worried since it didn't work on Xander earlier. So that means it won't work on Andrew.I watched Andrew swallow the love potion-riddled drink. I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease wash over me.What if it worked on Xander, and it just had a delayed effect? Then I would have two guys fall in love with me!As the minutes ticked by, nothing seemed to be happening."So...um...feel any different?" I asked nervously.Andrew looked thoughtful. "Um...hmm...I don't know."I began to relax, thinking that maybe the love potion was actually a dud. I'll have to remake it for Xander.But then, suddenly, Andrew's demeanor changed.He started to fidget in his seat, and his eyes darted around the room nervously. And then, just as quickly, his gaze settled on me, and he seemed to lock onto me like a missile."Oh my god," I muttered under my b
