AdrianBetty, I must end things with Betty.Lindsey didn't reject me immediately but acted as if she knew about Betty and me. But did she know Betty was my mate? I wasn't sure.And then there was Alvis, who caught me sleeping with Betty.The only way to ensure my and Lindsey's union now was to tell her the truth. That's it. I'd tell her about Betty me being a mate, and then I'll tell her I rejected Betty.But first, I needed to get Betty on board. At least pretend like I had rejected her.She hadn't answered any of my phone calls or texts yesterday, so I decided to show up at her house directly."Betty! Open the door!"No one answered.I knocked a few more times, then began to bang on the door. I knew she was home."Betty! Come on! I know you're home. I saw your car out there!" I was starting to get annoyed now. Why was she ignoring me now? She was always the one begging to be with me.I decided to force my way in. I didn't care anymore.It wasn't too hard to break the door open. And
LindseyI stood in my room, shaking, when Sue told me about Betty's death. I wanted to take revenge on her because she was responsible for my murder in my previous life. But I didn't want her to die like this!"Oh dear, I am so sorry. You must feel awful. She was your best friend," Sue said, her eyes full of tears.I felt sad, yes. But I won't pretend like I didn't think Betty had that coming for her. She was a liar and a traitor. I wanted her to be punished.But death? That's quite extreme."Of course. She was my cousin and my best friend since childhood. This is a tragedy," I said."Everyone will be gathered in the field today so Adrian's father can get to the bottom of her murder," Sue said grimly."Adrian's father? Why him? Betty is part of my pack," I raised an eyebrow.Sue hesitated. "Well...Adrian found...""Adrian?" I asked."Adrian found her dead in her bedroom."I nearly scoffed. So Adrian found her. As tragic as her death was, I'm glad Adrian knew what it was like to lose t
OwenOh no, no. What have I done?I could barely breathe. The air was thick, and my lungs felt like they were on fire. My hands trembled, and my heart raced when I left Betty's house.I did the unthinkable - I strangled Betty to death. I got so angry and...The sound of her last gasps for air still echoed in my head. Her eyes, once filled with life, are now empty and still.Betty, my sweet Betty, who I loved once.I didn't mean to kill her. I was angry, and I lost control. I never thought I was capable of doing something like this.The guilt was crushing me. After I ran away from her house, I just kept running. I went to the woods and knelt down by the river, and threw up. As I knelt there by the river, tears streamed down my face.I knew I had to do something. I couldn't just run away from what I had done. I had to take responsibility for my actions, no matter how hard it was.No, I couldn't do that. The Alpha will behead me! Murder was the worse crime I could've committed.Fuck...e
Kai I could see the confusion in Lindsey's eyes, so I walked toward her. She was startled as I suddenly grabbed her hand, but I put my finger on her lips, motioning her not to make any noise. As I continued to hold Lindsey's hand and put a finger to my lips, I could feel her tense up in anticipation. I looked around cautiously, trying to determine if anyone saw me. "Come with me," I hissed. Lindsey didn't argue and followed along. We walked for a bit then I stopped when I made sure no one was around. "So, what did you think about that whole spectacle?" I said and grinned. Anger flashed in her eyes. "Are you out of your mind, Kai?" I shrugged. "What do you mean?" "Why did you do this? Why did you accuse Adrian of Betty's murder?" she asked. "You are acting like I was the one who killed Betty. Hey, he did the crime, so he got to do time, eh?" I smiled smugly. Lindsey's expression hardened, and she pulled her hand away from mine. "You can't be serious," she said. "You know as we
Lindsey Where am I? I felt the soft grass underneath me. As I looked around in confusion, I realized that I was lying on a grassy field. The greenery around me seemed to stretch out for miles, with no buildings or signs of civilization in sight. The sky above was a clear blue, with a few fluffy white clouds drifting lazily by. I sat up slowly, trying to remember how I got here. Wasn't I standing in the woods with Kai? Where was he now? But everything was hazy and unclear. What am I supposed to do next? I heard a waterfall in the distance. The sound of the water was soothing and comforting, and I decided to walk toward it. I stood at the base of the massive waterfall, my eyes wide in awe as I looked up at the towering wall of water in front of me. The sound of the rushing water was deafening, drowning out all other noises and filling my ears with a constant roar. "Wow," I whispered. I knew I woke up in a strange place, but somehow, I knew I'd been here before. I took a deep b
Alvis"Adrian did what?" I exclaimed.I had to go out of town to take care of some business for my pack, and when I came back, I heard about Betty's murder.I didn't waste any time and ran to my father, the Alpha."Unfortunately, the evidence against him was quite damning, so I had to throw him in the dungeon until we could find more evidence. Things are not looking so good for Adrian, I'm afraid." My father shook his head in disappointment and handed me Betty's letter.Her last words.I read the whole thing twice. Anger flowed through me. Gosh, Adrian. How can he be so stupid to plan something like that against Lindsey?"I need to go see him right now," I said grimly. I said goodbye to my father and then headed to the dungeon. I couldn't believe it. My little brother had many character flaws, but was he a murderer? I doubt it.As I made my way down to the dungeon, I tried to gather my thoughts and emotions. I had my problems with Adrian, but I had to find out the truth. The guards at
LindseyWhat was the point of hiding it anymore?Adrian was out of the picture, at least for now. I've been keeping this secret, so I could get my revenge, but now that Betty was dead and Adrian imprisoned, I had no reason not to come clean.But now that I've blurted out the truth, I'll have to explain myself to Alvis."What did you say? What do you mean you died too? You aren't making any sense, Lindsey," Alvis finally said after a moment of silence."Hmm, I don't think it's a good idea to reveal the truth to Alvis, Lindsey. His small puppy brain wouldn't be able to handle it," Kai said sarcastically and grinned."Silence!" Alvis roared at Kai and turned back to me. "Explain yourself, Lindsey. What did you mean by that.""Alvis, there's a lot you don't know about me. I'm not the same Lindsey you grew up with. I mean, I am the same person, but things have changed since my rebirth," I said, even though I knew my explanation would make things even more confusing for Alvis.Alvis stared
KaiI've had enough. It was time to claim what was mine, so I took Lindsey and flew away. I would take her back to my realm and then let her decide who she needs to choose.I spread my wings and took to the air, the wind rushing past my scales as I soared into the sky. Lindsey clung tightly to my back, her arms wrapped around my neck as she gasped in awe at the incredible view.She was either amazed or scared.Below, the world stretches out in all directions, forests and mountains and rivers and cities all blending together into a patchwork of colors and shapes.I flew higher and higher, the air growing colder as I left the warmth of the sun behind. But my powerful wings kept me above, and before long, I broke through the clouds and into the clear, starry night sky.Lindsey hadn't said anything or screamed. She must be waiting to see where I take her.As I drew closer, the peak resolved into a massive castle, its walls, and turrets towering above the clouds. I landed smoothly in the c
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
