Adrian Lindsey didn't get back to me once during the night. I'd tossed and turned, but I couldn't sleep. Betty had tried getting hold of me, but I'd ignored everything from her. Right now, I had to focus. If I didn't, my plans would blow up in my face. Nothing was going to stop me. I would get control of Lindsey, sway her to be mine, and then use her. With her parents' support, I would get what I so desperately craved. And once I did? I would crush anyone else in my way. Reaching down, I scratched at my groin. Damn. Besides not being able to sleep and being humiliated in front of everyone, I itched like an army of ants had attacked my privates. I've even stuffed a fork down my pants to try to relieve the burning sensation, but nothing was a fix for very long. I rubbed against the chair I was sitting on, shifting my position back and forth. What was I going to do? At first, I thought all I had to worry about was that idiot Alvis getting in my way. Lindsey almost looked interested i
Adrian I waited until Owen was gone before I closed the door again and locked it. A moment later, I scratched my burning groin again, and my eyes locked on the small bottle. "You're telling me that will stop this?" Kai grinned at me. He tossed the vial into the air, and we both watched it spin a few times in freefall before he plucked it out of the air. "Clear it all up with three applications. And I'll give it to you for just one favor." My nostrils flared. "I'm not letting you take advantage of me, Kai." I spat the name. "You stay inside for one day. See, I've had a thing for your Lindsey, and I want to take her out on a friendly little date. You'll need to stay home anyway to recover from this nasty little affliction. Just stay in here until midnight. I won't touch her until that time, but if I win her over in that time, then you'll just have a rival for her affection. Deal?" I snorted. "I don't even know if you're telling the truth." Did he really think I would just say yes?
Owen What did I just hear? No. There's no way. They were lying. Both of them! They had to be. Betty was.... Betty was! She just wasn't that kind of woman. I turned away from the closed doors. If I hadn't been straining my ears so hard, I wouldn't have caught the soft admittance. Was this what that Kai guy meant when he told me to stay close after I was kicked out? I'd been so sure that Adrian was going to kick his ass, but that hadn't happened. I wasn't about to stay here. Whatever was going on with those two, I didn't care anymore. I needed to get out of there, and back to Betty's side. I had to talk to her. If I saw her, I'd know it was all lies. There was no way she was mated to Adrian. That was impossible. The trees blurred around me as I ran away from Adrian's house. I just had to get to her again. The rocks crunched beneath my feet as I flew down the pathway and the twigs snapped as I forced my way through the forest. Betty. There, in the distance, I spotted her h
Lindsey What am I doing here? I kept asking myself this question over and over again my mind as I stared at Kai's grinning face. He looked like an actual devil smiling like that. So cunning. So sinister. Last night, I tried to find more things about him but to no avail. My parents were no help and looked at me like I was crazy. They simply brushed me off! "Nothing to say?" I snapped back to reality and looked at Kai. "Why are we here, Kai?" He tilts his brow. "What do you mean, Lindsey? We are on a date, so I thought we could have a lovely dinner by the lake." "Don't act coy. You know exactly what I'm asking you. Why are you making me go out on a date with you?" Kai's lips twisted into a small smile. "I am not making you do anything, pet. You are here at your own will." I leaned back into my chair and sighed. We are going on a circle here. "You know what I mean. I am here because you said you could help me, but why do we have to go on a date?" Kai shrugged. "Why not? This
AlvisAnger stirred within me as I watched them walking out together. He had his filthy hand on her waist, but she did not try pushing him off.What was happening between them, and how come I'd never seen him before?There was something strange about him too, something dark. He smelled like a werewolf, yet different from all of us. A special kind of breed? I needed to know more.I watched them on their date at the restaurant and noticed something strange. Lindsey was sitting in front of Kai with her eyes closed, not moving a muscle. It worried me because she looked completely out of it, as if she was in some kind of trance.Part of me wanted to walk over there and interrupt as Lindsey looked pale and ghostly, but I held myself back. It didn't look like anything was hurting her. Kai didn't even touch her.Well, not exactly. At some point, I did see him hold her hand. She didn't open her eyes then. Instead, Kai closed his eyes too. Then they were both gone.Gone where?I had no idea.Wa
Lindsey I was surprised to see Alvis today. After our last interaction, I thought he'd stop trying to talk to me, but here he was, standing in front of me. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "I need to talk to you, Lindsey." "Now? I was getting ready for bed," I replied. Alvis frowned. "Yes, now. This is important." I nodded and motioned him inside. Something in his voice told me he wasn't kidding around. His eyes were dark, and I looked at his hand which was closed into a fist. What was going on with him? "We can talk on the terrace," I said and led him there. He hesitated before saying something, so I waited patiently. I wondered what was so important that he couldn't wait to tell me. I wanted to ask him some questions too. "Who is Kai?" That was the first thing that came out of his mouth. Ah, so Alvis noticed me spending time with Kai. "Kai?" I repeated after him. "Yes, Kai. Who is he?" I wish I knew the answer. I've been wondering that myself. "I don't know." Alvis'
KaiMy little pet always had hounds sniffing around her. Adrian was no threat to me, but Alvis...he was bad news. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who'd give up on their mate. And he was strong. Stronger than the others. When he was near Lindsey, I instantly knew he was her mate, which irritated me. I wanted to kill him right then, burn him to ashes but restrained myself. It wasn't the right time. I had to wait patiently because Lindsey didn't trust me yet. I couldn't rush things with her this time. I saw him grabbing Lindsey and demanding answers from her, so I couldn't help but interrupt them. As I watched him touching her, my blood was boiling, and I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. "You! this isn't about you. This is between Lindsey and me, so stay out of it," Alvis Dalton snarled. "Ah, is that so? Looks to me like Lindsey is done with this conversation, so why don't you take a hike in the woods? It'll cool your head," I suggested. Alvis stared at me with a
Gosh, what a nightmare!That was quite a scene Alvis caused. I didn't expect him to attack Kai like that, so I didn't know what to do. All I could do was stand there and watch how things played out.Luckily, no one got hurt, and that was surprising since Kai never bothered to shift into his wolf form. I wonder why.And how the hell did he set Alvis on fire?"I am leaving you alone for now, Lindsey, but if you marry Adrian, things might get nasty," Alvis said before running off.Was that a threat? I sure hope not. I didn't want Alvis as my enemy too. I turned to Kai, who hadn't said a word to me yet. "You just had to, didn't you?""Whatever do you mean, my love?" Kai feigned surprise."Don't act coy. We are past pretending, don't you think? How did you set Alvis on fire? Who are you? Or should I ask what are you?" I asked with gritted teeth."Curious one, are you? I told you. All of your questions will be answered. Just not yet," Kai said slyly."That's bullshit! I want to know now. An
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. "But it's complicated, and I didn't want to burden anyone els
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. Um...Andrew and Rhys said you were a Fae deer. But you are a human?" I stared at him in amazement."No, I am not a human either," he
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
