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
ADRIANA We sat in silence, engulfed in fear and the uncertainty of who would be the next to die.Every glance at the dark door brought terror and dread to our souls.I thought of transforming to my wolf form but a bullet wheezed into my body could take me to my grave. I wasn't ready to die yet, I needed my mate and I needed to be happy and free from my family.A grip on my wrist brought me back to reality, I tilted my head around to look at Diana whose face was as pale as that of a ghost.Her cracked lips trembled in fear and her eyes were red and sunken from shedding of tears.“Are we going to survive?" Her voice was ghostly, much lower than a whisper.“Are we?" She repeated, her eyes filled with hope and almost lifeless.“I don't know, Diana, I doubt if we'll survive this," I replied.I thought her voice was ghostly and almost dead but mine was worse. It lacked life and hope, it sounded like that of someone on the verge of death with no hope to fight the sting of death off.Pain
ADRIANA “I am not weak, bitches!" My words sliced through the oppressive air and caused their eyes to widen.“Really?" A blonde-haired girl muttered and stood up, trotting towards me with a smirk on her face.“Are you sure you're not weak? Should we test your word?" She muttered, grinning sinisterly.Despite the insane beating of my heart, I didn't think of backing down. That will make me a coward, and anyone with the surname ‘Nox’ is no coward.We were taught to fight for ourselves and our legacy. We were only taught to fight for vengeance and never back down from our decisions. My brothers have lived their lives fulfilling that, sacrificing their happiness to carry on that legacy whispered into our ears the day we became old enough to fight and squabble.They are the daughters of those men who caused those legacies to exist. If my brothers destroyed and humbled their fathers and families, then I will have to continue such a task by humbling them, even though it leads to breaking a
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
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
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
VALERIE My jaws dropped in astonishment as I stared at the goddess-like woman standing by the door. She is Michelle? The healer? She didn't look anything like a healer, she looked more like a queen. Her presence froze everyone, drawing every being that stood in the hall to herself. It felt like her eyes were glued on my face all the moment she stood there. Her aura was oppressing and suffocating, or was it the perfume she was wearing? She stepped out of the sunlight and walked fully into the room. I was right, her eyes were right on me. A contagious smile was on her angelic face, her body, her smile, everything about her was intimidating and beautiful. She walked towards me in slow, noiseless steps, her emerald green eyes sparkling in excitement. Every step towards me made my heart skip. She stopped right before me, her piercing eyes fixed on my face, slicing through my mind. My head dropped and embarrassment flooded into my veins. I felt so belittled before her.
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
