“Come on, your dumb ass shit!” Jake yelled. “One more,” he said, and with every one of my strengths, I pushed myself up and then collapsed onto the grass. Jake made no move to help me up; instead, he circled me and scowled.

“You are fucking weak,” he said, and I scowled at him. He grabbed my arms and roughly forced me to sit. I smacked away at his hand, and he growled angrily.

“Don’t ever touch me,” I snapped, and he nodded.

“Good, I want you to be angry. Now channel that rage at me and think of everything you hate about me. Our power is mostly at its peak when we are in rage. Now punch me,” he said, and I hesitated, even though I probably detested him. For some reason, I didn’t want to punch him.

“Come on, don’t be such a wimp, you idiot,” he said, and I scowled and charged for him. I punched him right in the face, and he stood there and took it without blinking, bleeding from the mouth. He threw back his head and laughed, then grinned at me.

“That isn’t a punch; it’s more like a caress,” he said, smiling. For a moment, I was stunned. He looked so handsome that I couldn’t breathe; he caught me staring and scowled.

“Give me a real punch,” he said, and now I didn’t want to punch him again.

"No," I replied, and he frowned. He walked menacingly and grabbed my hair. “You better punch me, or...” He left that statement hanging and released my hair. I glared at him, breathing hard as rage filled me. How dare he grab my hair? I ran at him full speed and smashed my fist into his face. His head snapped to the side, and he turned smiling as blood poured from his nose, and I suddenly felt guilty.

“I am so sorry,” I said, and I tore a portion of my shirt and pressed it against his nose, staunching the blood. He stared at me strangely. 

“Are you helping me?” He teased, “Me, an evil monster," and I rolled my eyes and threw away the bloody cloth. I tried to tear another fabric, but he stopped me.

“It’s fine. I will heal,” he said, his green eyes studying me intently. “Thank you,” he said, and I nodded, feeling like something just grew between us. He opened his bag and tossed me a can of soda.

“Drink up,” he said, and I nodded, popped the can, and drank greedily. I was really thirsty, and he seemed to know it. He sat on a bench and stared ahead, and I suddenly wanted to be nice; maybe he wasn’t really a monster.

“Can I sit down?” I asked, and as usual, he didn’t answer, so I just sat down. He stared at me; his green eyes were unreadable.

“Why do you just kill, like that? I mean, brutally, can’t you do it normally?” I asked, and he stared at me as if I were a kid.

“Kill normally?” He barked out a laugh. “A kill is a kill; it doesn’t matter how it’s done,” he said, and I shook my head.

“I have seen you kill; you do it for the fun of it,” I said, and he smiled.

“Yes. I enjoy killing, but it’s only those that I consider my enemies,” he glared at me.

“That’s not how it’s supposed to be; your brother kills his enemies too, and I am sure he doesn’t kill for fun,” I said, and Jake chuckled.

“Is that what he told you?” He asked, and I shrugged.

“I can tell,” I said, and Jake smiled a tight smile.

“Of course, John is always the good one; I am the monster,” he said sarcastically, and he extended his claws. I stared in fascination; they looked wickedly curved and sharp.

“You are the one who kills for fun,” I said, and he pursed his lips and nodded.

“That’s why he’s so weak; I am stronger, and I am no softie,” he said.

“What of your mother, was she like you?” I asked, and he froze. His green eyes darkened in hate and anger.

"Don't,” he warned, and I stared at him, surprised for a moment. His face was sad and full of grief. 

“I am sorry,” I said, and he nodded. He stood and grabbed another soda and drank it all in one gulp.

"The resting time is over,” he snapped. “Here, bring your hand,” he said. I offered my hand, and he held it and wrapped black leather around my palm. I stared at him as he wrapped the other hand, and I smiled.

“Thank you,” I said, and he nodded. He picked a stance, and I followed his steps.

“Your wolf is dormant; she needs her soulmate to awaken her, but in the meantime, we have not found your soulmate, and it’s certainly not John,” he said snidely, and I glared at him.

“We need a trigger, something that will awaken her, maybe briefly,” he said, pulling out a dagger, and I backed away.

“What are you doing?” I asked, and he stepped closer, holding the knife in front of him.

“Scaring you,” he answered honestly, and I stepped back.

“Are you gonna stab me?” I asked, and he smiled cruelly.

“Yes” he said, and I backed away.

“You can’t do that, I will call John." I threatened, but he didn’t even look fazed.

“John can’t stop me,” he said, then he grabbed me and shoved the handle of the knife into my palm, and I stared at him in surprise. 

“You didn’t stab me,” I said, and he raised a brow.

“You want me to?” He asked, and I shook my head. He smiled smugly. “Good, now stab yourself in the shoulder,” he said, and my eyes widened. Stab myself? He was definitely crazy.

“Wh..why?” I asked, and he scoffed and folded his arms.

“Don’t be a chicken; werewolf abilities are sometimes triggered by pain. So I guess we have to find out,” he said, and I shook my head.

“I can’t; you do it,” I said, and the corner of his lips lifted in a smile.

“With pleasure,” he said, and he grabbed the knife and stabbed me in the shoulder. I let out a howl so inhuman that I fainted.

    I opened my eyes slowly and sat up. I suddenly remembered yesterday, peeled back my shirt, and stared at my shoulder. It was perfectly fine, and there was no trace that I had been stabbed there.“You are good as new,” came Jake’s voice, and I turned to see him in the doorway, looking handsome. His long, dark hair fell to his forehead, enhancing those roguish good looks of his. I scowled at him, and he smiled.“You stabbed me,” I said, and he grinned as if he enjoyed the moment.“You asked, dear,” he said with mock sweetness, and I rolled my eyes.“And you still stabbed me,” I said, and he grinned and grabbed my hair and swung it like a sword.“I couldn’t miss that opportunity,” he said, and he plopped on the bed beside me.“You’re a beast” I said, and he smiled. He extended a claw, grabbed my teddy, and stabbed it in the heart."Hey!” I complained, and he grinned and tossed me the teddy. I hid the teddy behind the bed, and he chuckled.“What happened yesterday?” I asked, and he stood a

  • Married to the Villain    Adamant Isadora

    After Aquila died, I’ve never been able to properly love again. Although, I had set my eyes on Khan. Khan had such power in his speech and mannerisms. We, the West pack, have conquered and dominated much, if not all, of the West, including the town, thanks to his leadership. I wondered if I had a chance with him. I have only spoken to him three times and they were all reports about hunts. If only we could have a proper conversation alone. I’ve witnessed him transform into a beautiful grey wolf and under the grace of the full moon, his fur glows. Khan in his normal man form, he was what I believed would be classified as perfect. I fancied him but something just kept me away from him. Aquila was just as perfect as Khan and as powerful too. Maybe I couldn’t talk to Khan after all. I, Cara, was blamed for killing Aquila, my mate, Khan’s brother; of course he hated my guts. I sat quietly in the café, staring at the coffee I had ordered. I barely took any sip of it, I just let the dark bever

    CARA’S P.O.V.I left the meeting grounds and the forest without saying a word to Khan or even letting him say a word. My head was down, thinking of the contract. I’ll be kicked out. I’ll be a lone wolf. All alone. Isn’t that the best for me? At least, I’ll be away from the pack. No one would look at me with judgement and disgust. Everything I do would be my concern. Sounds peaceful, doesn’t it?I stood at the forest entrance, observing the setting sun over the town, allowing soft breeze swing my hair and my black long dress. I signed the contract. For some reason, my blood was needed and I would by the full set of the sun. This happened too fast. Rapha seemed bothered. Aaliyah seemed to care less. Everything just didn’t make sense to me. Who were these people I’ve come into a contract with? Tau of the East? Light and Sky? The triplets? Who were they? Why was I the one that has to go? There were many others that could’ve gone…oh, yeah, I was the only one without a mate. Then the journey

    CARA’S P.O.V.It was a long exhausting journey. We only moved without any stops. How far is the east anyway? Did the driver know where he was driving to? I wondered. I checked the compass Aaliyah gave to me and it did not even move. Worst of all, I was out of water. What a journey. We suddenly stopped in the middle of nowhere under the scorching sun. “Why did we stop? I asked the driver who looked baffled“I’m not sure. I think it’s the gas or something else.” The driver stepped out of the car and opened the bonnet. There seemed to be quite a lot of smoke or Steam I don’t know, but it was something of that sort. What a day. “What’s the problem?” I asked the driver who looked very bothered. He approached the car to the window side of where I was seated. “Have you any water?” The driver asked.“I’m all out.” “Then, I’ll have to go find some. I believe there should be a station up ahead. But first…” The driver pulled some things in the car and went to the trunk of the car. He pushed t

    I trudged along the hills, my every breath getting labored after the next. I pulled out my cell phone and tried powering it on, but the screen stayed blank. I sighed. No battery life left; my backpack felt heavy on my back, and for a moment I considered dropping it, but I breathed deep and tried gathering strength.‘Come on, Reyna, you can do this,'I s said to myself, taking a step forward and grinned when I saw civilization. I put more spring to my steps and hurried down the hills, shouldering my backpack carefully not to let it slip off my tired shoulder. The sky rumbled, and lightning flashed in the sky.‘Please don’t rain’ I begged the universe, but it seemed the universe was in no mood for prayers because, as soon as I said that in my head, the rain poured heavily without warning, and in seconds I was as drenched as a sewage pipe rat. I managed to reach the restaurant, and I rushed in, soaking wet. The restaurant was devoid of customers, and I thanked the universe again. A waiter

    “You’re okay?” John asked. I nodded and sipped the hot tea, nearly sighing as it warmed my body. John sat at a respectful distance beside me, and I noticed him watching me keenly at a far corner. Jake stared at a fire sipping from a glass of liquor, looking lost in his own world.“What happened?” John asked, and I sighed. His dark eyes roamed my face, and I noticed how handsome he was.“My father chased me away,” I said, and his eye darkened even further. He looked annoyed. “That’s wickedness,” he said, and I nodded. The tears I had been holding and promising myself not to shed started pooling in the corner of her eyes.“I am so sorry,” John said, and I nodded. The tears dropped, and he tentatively wiped them away, and I stared at him in surprise.“Thank you” I said, and he smiled. Jake stood and dropped the book he was holding.“I am outta here before you two kiss and talk in love,” he said, and I reddened. John looked embarrassed, and he shot his brother a glare, but Jake flipped hi

    “Where is Jake?” I asked, and John shook his head.“He doesn’t like parties,” he said loudly over the loud music. Around us, werewolves danced to loud hip-hop music. John twirled me around, and I danced, coming close enough to stare into his eyes and kiss him. Ever since the day we kissed, we had become more exclusive, and I learned werewolf males were very jealous of their women, and John certainly was. His hand held my waist possessively as if afraid I would wander off.“I won’t wander off,” I said, and John grinned and kissed my check.“Never trust when a lady says that,” he said, and I gasped playfully.“John! Ouch! So you don’t trust me,” I said, and he grinned.“One bit,” he said, and I punched him playfully in the shoulder."Kidding,” he said, and we walked to a bar, where he poured wine for me."Cheers!” I said, and he smiled at me.“To what?” He asked, and I shrugged. I filled my glass with his, and we drank while staring at each other. He finished his work quickly and grinned
