VALERIE I thought of ways to explain to them and make them understand that this was just a game, but nothing came to my mind. All I could do was sigh and stutter, stepping back as they continued to approach me. “Listen to me, please, I didn't…” “Be quiet!” Lucian growled, his darkened eyes forcing me to keep silent. “You dare try to hit the queen? Because... Because... The moon goddess decided to taunt us by making you our mate?” Lucien muttered and my belly churned. Unbearable pain surged through me and my heart constricted in agony. I couldn't believe that they said that to me, publicly. “Maybe... this discovery is beginning to get into your head,” Killian said and poked my head with his fingers. This unexpected action caused me to stagger back, almost flinching to the ground. Killian stepped forward, and I backed away from them. He snapped his head closer, his eyes dark and threatening as he whispered words that made my blood freeze. “We are going to cut your wings and ma
VALERIE “We aren't going to reject her, but we'll make her pay for this,” Killian muttered. Somehow, I felt relief wash through my body and I sighed out. Adriana frowned and shook her head in disagreement. “You have to reject her. You can't keep her after what she did to Mother!” Adriana snapped, the smile that was once on her face some minutes ago dissolved into a dark frown. “Keep quiet and go back to your room,” Lucian muttered coldly, his frightening eyes fixed on her. She shuddered as she stepped away, glaring at me from the corner of her eyes. “Adriana is right, you have to kick her away. Keeping her here will be insulting to me!" The Luna Queen remarked, twitching up her lips in anger as she directed a sharp glare at me. Lucian craned his head in her direction, a scowl on his handsome face. “Do you hate her to the extent of hurting yourself?” Lucian muttered and the Luna Queen snapped her head up. I looked around, wondering who they were referring to. The Lycan b
VALERIE I tried to wriggle again but he held my body down with his large hand, his eyes glimmering with emotions that I recognized to be dark and evil. “Stop struggling, it's not gonna help you get away," Lucian whispered, running his fingers along my neck. “Let me go, I promise to obey the Luna Queen for the rest of my life!" I whimpered even though some parts of me wanted them to keep me with them that night. “Really?" Killian snickered as he ran his fingers along my thighs, rubbing them together as his fingers slowly moved up. He grazed the flesh between my thighs, which was hidden under my underwear; my body shuddered at the contact. A smirk tugged at the corner of his lips as he slipped his fingers into my underwear and slipped one of his fingers into my cunt, I winced and tilted my head to the side, feeling the tightening of my core. I pulled his hand out and waved his fingers across my face. “But it says the opposite," he muttered and I glanced at his finger.
ADRIANA Meg flinched as I screamed and shattered another cup on the tray. After what happened in the throne room, I haven't been myself. To think that my brothers supported that sex slave against my mother and me was thrilling. “I can't believe this, I can't believe that he's supporting her instead of me. She is… she is bewitching my brothers, I can feel it," I gasped out, groaning loudly. "I will destroy her, I won't let her keep controlling my brothers,” I muttered and groaned out again. “My lady, you should eat something," Megan muttered. I spun around and slapped her hard on the cheeks. She gasped and staggered back, blood dripping from her swollen lips. “Keep your mouth shut if you have nothing to say!" I snapped and she whimpered, muttering an inaudible apology. I scoffed loudly and picked up my phone then dialed Diana's number. My relief washed over me as she picked up on the second ring, her assiduous voice filtering into my ear. “You won't believe what happened,
KILLIAN The door burst open and I looked up from the file before me. Neil walked in with worry etched against his face. I raised my brows, waiting for the bad news he was always good at breaking. “We have a problem, Alpha," he muttered and I scoffed, not surprised. “What is it this time around, Neil?" I asked, glancing back at the paperwork on the desk. “Some of our girls are missing," his answer was almost like a whisper. I snapped my head up and he took a step back, waiting for my reaction. “Missing?" I scoffed, filled with anger and surprise. He nodded, his worried eyes fixed on me as he awaited my decision. “Does my brother know about this?" I asked and he shook his head. I sighed out and dropped the pen then leaned back into the chair, slamming my eyes shut. “Where was the last place they were spotted?" I asked. I could tell that Neil hesitated before answering the question as some seconds passed by before he answered. “At a party.” My eyes snapped open and I jolt
KILLIAN The drive was rough and fast, filled with anger and the thirst for something red, something like blood. When we got to the Hyena, darkness had taken over the sky, and the night crawlers were all out, littering the streets in see-through, inviting dresses and loose jeans. "Jerome has sent the scan code, Alpha," Neil said as he scanned the building. I hummed and turned on my phone. The scan code popped up on my screen immediately after the phone was turned on. "Let's go," I muttered, and we got out of the car. But as we walked towards the building, I paused and turned, facing Neil. "Stay back in the car and watch out for any suspicious activity," I said, and he threw his head back, rebellion dancing in his eyes. "But, my lord—" “Keep silent and obey my order," I snapped, and he flinched back, rebelling in silence. I spun around and continued walking towards the Hyena.When I got close to the men who guarded the entrance, I pulled out my phone and showed them the scan
ADRIANA A loud gasp escaped from my lips the moment my eyes snapped open. I tilted my head to the side and whimpered as pain shot through my body.After swallowing as much air as I could grasp, I began to observe the unfamiliar environment that I was in.Dismay slowly crept into my body, tightening my chest as I stared at the room that we were in, what surprised me the most was the discovery that I wasn't alone.There were other girls in the room as well, fifteen in number. I recognized about six of them from the VVIP room and the rest seemed to be from somewhere else.Where in the world am I? How did I get there?I slammed my eyes shut and tried to remember the events that took place before I fell unconscious.I remembered the crashing of bottles, screams,, and the shrill ringing of gunshots.I also remembered something hitting my head before I drowned in darkness.But what happened before that chaos began? FLASHBACK My brows raised in question when Diana muttered those
KILLIAN A slam at the door with my feet got it flying open. I and Neil walked into the house and took the small flights of stairs that led to his bedroom. I stepped back from the door and smashed my feet on it and it fell apart. “Fucking get the–" his words to someone on the phone stopped flowing. He spun around, eyes as wide as saucers as he glared from me to Neil. “Who the hell are you?" He stuttered, shifting back in wobbly legs. I sauntered fully into the room, observing the untidy room. Clothes and articles were scattered on the floor and bed. Two suitcases were thrown open behind him and piles of clothes were in them. It was obvious that he was running away. “Miles Sinclair, right?” I muttered and his eyes narrowed. “What the hell do you want?" He snapped hoarsely. “The illegitimate son of Dominic Sinclair, the Alpha of Westwood Pack," I muttered and he twitched up his lips in anger and confusion. “How did you know the circumstances surrounding my birth?" He snappe
VALERIE I gasped out in shock and took a step back, my eyes widened in dismay.“My fault?" I muttered and he narrowed his eyes and stared at the window, sinking his bloodstained hands in his pant pocket.“Stay away from Adriana. You are a threat to her, so keep away from her," he warned, and I scoffed loudly, glaring haughtily at him.The door behind me burst open and I turned around, aware of who it was.Killian stopped walking and snapped a glare at me before trudging towards a chair and slumping into it. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me that he was with his brother as well.“Well… none of you will stop me from seeing Adriana!" I groused in rebellion and stomped out of the office.I took the stairs that led to Adriana's room and didn't bother knocking before walking into the room.Thankfully, the Luna Queen was gone and Adriana was left alone in the dimly lit room.I sat beside the bed, staring distantly at her pale face which almost had no life in it.“Adriana, you have to s
LUCIAN The words sounded like a joke to me, it felt like the girl was playing around with Adriana's health. I wanted to get up and hit her hard on the face till her senses returned but I felt weakened to try such. Somehow, I knew she was telling the truth. Adriana’s body had become as cold as ice, so cold that we had no hope left. We were entrusted with a duty to protect the Nox sisters but we failed. We failed our father, ourselves, and Adriana. For the first time in my life, I felt like a loser, a total failure. The mockery weighed so much on me that I dropped my head in embarrassment. Killian dropped down next to her body and slowly cupped her into arms, his lips trembling in fury. “Did you kill the bastard?" I snapped, filled with indignation and anger. If I had come a bit earlier, I would have saved her. If only Valerie hadn't come into the picture and ruined her mentally, she wouldn't have tried to get to the Hyena clubhouse. “We have to take her to the car," Killian
KILLIAN His hands trembled as he pointed the gun at me, shifting back.“Don't… don't come any closer!" He snapped in a quivering voice.A grin spread out on my face and I cackled loudly, enjoying the sport he was making of himself.I kept walking closer to him, not listening to his void warnings.“I'm warning you, Killian!" He growled and my feet froze.I tilted my head to the side and dimmed my eyes as the words he blurted out echoed in my mind.“Killian?" I muttered and chuckled loudly, earning a horrified gasp from him."It is Alpha Killian Nox. Never forget that." “Drop that gun, and I will spare your life a second time," I muttered, and he scoffed loudly, twitching up his lips in disgust.“The both of us know that that is the last thing you will do. I'm pretty sure that you regret letting me live that night," he spat, narrowing his eyes at me.I smirked sinisterly and began to draw close to him.He must have been blinded by hatred that he didn't seem to notice how close I was g
ADRIANA The both of us flinched at the sound of the gunshot outside the corridor. “What the fuck was that?" He muttered, fear visible in his voice. I glanced at the door that I never noticed during the struggle. The door burst open and my heart washed into the pit of my stomach. A familiar figure leaned on the door jamb, his hands wrapped around his chest. “Klein!" The powerful tone of the voice brought a smile to my face. Dismay spread across his face and his hands dropped. I pushed him off and staggered back, moving towards the door slowly. My heart leaped and my feet froze when he raised the gun in my direction, his eyes fixed on Killian. “I will kill your sister right before your eyes," he snarled and my throat knotted. Immediately, he was about to pull the trigger; a bullet hit the gun. He growled and released the gun, holding onto his hand which must have become numb from the shock. “Adriana!" Killian's growl forced me to turn around, my eyes as wide as saucers. “G
ADRIANA I whimpered loudly as he dragged me along the dark, never-ending corridor.“Move it, bitch!" He growled, pushing me forward.I stumbled and almost fell face flat but he grabbed my top, pulling me to himself.“Stop being so clumsy. Your brother won't be able to find you here," he groused, cursing loudly." Let me go!” I snapped, struggling to free myself from his tight grasp.He only chuckled and continued to pull me along the long corridor.I thought of ways to escape from his grip but no idea formed in my head."I…I need to urinate,” I muttered in a shaking voice.He stopped walking, scowled at me, and shoved me roughly."You can do it here. No one will see you,” he said, mockery laced in his voice.I swerved my head around and glared haughtily at him."You must be insane!” I groused.He frowned and let go of me then slipped his hand into his pocket, tilting his head to the side."Really?” He scoffed, rolling his eyes at me.He moved closer while I took a step back. We kept
KILLIAN His words resounded in the large hall and his chest rose and fell in anger.My heart clenched as I watched the tip get closer to Adriana's face.Different thoughts ran around my head as I stared at the rod, I wasn't able to settle down with a suggestion.His eyes glimmered in pride as he studied the dismay smeared against my face.“Bow down before me and surrender if you want your sister to live with honor," he muttered.I scoffed in disgust and narrowed my eyes at his absurd request."I would rather die than bow down before a scoundrel!" I spat and the grin on his face faded."Really?” He whispered and stroked Adriana's hair, staring at me with an evil glee in his eyes."Then… you have to go through me to get her.”I gritted my teeth, every muscle straining as I hauled myself up the stairs.Adriana's whimper for help echoed above, fueling my determination. But before I could reach the middle of the stairs, the guards began closing in, their footsteps pounding down the stair
KILLIAN “I tracked the phones of one of the girls. Seems like she went in with it and turned it on. Though the phone was turned off a few seconds after it got on, I was able to hack into the phone and figure out the location." Jerome's words echoed in my ear and I scoffed loudly, leaning back into the seat.I stared at the building some miles away from where my car was parked.I wasn't surprised when he sent the address to me.I knew it was the bastard all along and it was time to put him right where he belongs— six feet under the earth.I took a long drag at the cigarette and threw it away through the window, exhaling the dark thick smoke before igniting the car and swinging it into gear, stepping hard on the accelerator pedal.The car's tires smoked as I sped towards the base's gate, slamming through the checkpoint and sending guards scrambling for cover. Bullets began to fly across the threatened air, and an alarm blared, red lights flying around the dimly lit corridor.I didn't
ADRIANA The moment the syringe was handed to him, an idea flashed in my mind. Why die when I can get revenge for Louisa? “Wait—" his nails, which sank into my neck, forced me to keep shut and wince in pain. “Have your senses returned to your head?" He grinned and I coughed out a yes. He dropped the syringe and relief washed across my chest. He pushed me down to the chair and wrapped his hand around my chin, forcing me to look into his dark evil eyes. “What gave you the fucking courage to challenge me, huh?” He muttered. Despite how dark his voice was, I could hear the surprise laced in his voice. “I…" “She is Adriana Nox, the sister of the Lycan kings. That is what has given her the morale to challenge you,” the blonde-haired girl blurted out, and my heart clenched in fear and indignation. I swerved my head to the side and threw a hateful glare at her, my fist clenching in fury. “Nox. The Lycan kings. Killian and Lucian Nox?" The man's neck tilted to the side as he mutter
ADRIANA He was tall, huge, and intimidating. He smelt of nothing else but death A vicious smirk crept into his face, and we flinched back, wondering what could be going on in his dark mind. “Get them up!" His growl pierced through the suffocating room, and men almost as huge as the man trooped into the room, and one by one, we were dragged out of the room. My heart constricted in pain, and my belly knotted in dismay as we walked into a corridor that had blood splattered around the white walls and floor. My body trembled and I felt the need to throw up as we stumbled upon the bodies of the girls that died while trying to escape some minutes ago. “Walk faster!" The men kept bellowing and burying fears into our souls until we got to a door. One of them stepped forward and twisted the knob, pulling the door open. We were all pushed into the room so roughly that every one of us tripped on her feet and fell face flat to the ground. I was the first to raise my head after whimperi
