The streets of los angeles are slick with snow that just fell a few hours ago. A man stepped on the asphalt pavement, trying not to slip his boots every time he stepped on the pavement that was covered in subtle ice.He was holding a glass cup filled with hot chocolate that was still steaming. And he winced every time he took a sip of the warm thick liquid. It felt too sticky and sweet on his tongue which was not used to any of this.Nicholas furrowed his brows after swallowing one gulp of chocolate that still left a sweetness on his tongue"I should have ordered pure coffee" he mumbled as he looked around "But I didn't know they had that here. Every shop here has an unrealistic menu"He muttered while holding the cup with the logo of the famous coffee cafe in his hand.He doesn't really need it anyway. He doesn't need a cup of chocolate or coffee to warm his up. The cold winters in Los Angeles are nothing compared to where he came from.He wouldn't even mind if every single one of th
Violet Miller's eyes were still on the text in the book she was reading when the plane landed. She was stuffing the book into a leather shoulder bag she was carrying when an announcement from a flight attendant sounded. Violet looked out of the plane window. She got off the plane and headed for the airport. The seats provided were full, and rows of people were waiting to welcome their families who had just landed. Violet pulled her suitcase onto a red sofa. She took out her phone and tapped on her twin's contact. Press the call button. According to their conversation on the phone before Violet flew out, Isabelle would pick her up at the airport. But once again she looked around, not seeing her twin anywhere. Violet removed the scarf that was wrapped around her neck. Only then did she realize she was the only person who looked like this. Nobody wears a scarf like this in a tropical country. When she flew in from Los Angeles yesterday it was still very cold. But now sweat dripped f
The barbeque party was going well. Violet unknowingly finished three large sausages, cheese, nuggets, chicken and crab sticks. And she just felt full when I was about to take the fourth sausage. Only then did she remember she hadn't eaten since yesterday, only drank tea.Tiffany was still by the grill grilling the enoki mushrooms and seasoning them with the spicy seasoning their grandmother had made. Next to her Isabelle ate less than Violet had expected. She took a bite of the sausage lazily. When finished, Isabelle said goodbye to go to the room first because she was sleepy. Diana asks if something is wrong but Isabelle replies everything is fine. Violet knew better than her mother. She said she was going to the bathroom for a bit and headed for the sink to wash her hands. After that he went upstairs, to Isabelle's room which was across from hers. The door is closed. Violet was contemplating whether or not to knock when she heard Isa's voice from inside"Come in Vio" Violet ope
Violet's father, Davis Miller arrives at their grandmother's house the next day at dusk. He hugged Isabelle first before finally Tiffany and then Violet. She missed her dad so muchEven though Davis is not her biological father, he has more memories and roles in Violet's life than her real father. The real father Violet wanted to forget. Diana told her husband to come in and rest before they were to continue with what must have been a long dinner. There was too much to discuss especially after they had not seen each other for a long time.Violet missed a time like this. When they get together. It was times like these that would distract her mind from thinking too much about the things that bothered her. Memories of her original world that he wanted to erase from memory.Isabelle took their father into the house. Her mother and grandmother followed. When Tiffany was about to take a step Violet grabbed her sister's wrist tightly."What is it?" Tiffany raised an eyebrow glancing at her
Violet waited a moment for the three men to completely disappear. Who are they? She thought. They were clearly werewolves. Like herself. But they are not from low rank. The three men gave off an aura that made Violet shudder. Or perhaps it's just because she's becoming more and more timid by the time. After so many years of not living in Lusevell, coming back here felt like a nightmare. Lusevell has always been a haunting shadow and traumatized her. That was a time when two little girls become a victim of the war caused by the ruling and powerful clan. That's why she couldn't help herself as soon as Isabelle told her that someone, who knows, had called her back here.She had to find her twin wherever she was and the two of them would find a way out of here together. The night wind blew and shook the leafy tree branches. In a dark lush corner of an enormous oak tree Violet felt something moving and watched her. Owl's voice chirped. She immediately run from there. The girl did not
In a spacious chamber, the gentle morning sunlight streamed in through the large glass windows. The body of a young girl lying on the bed mingled with the messy coverlets.Isabelle moved slowly, her hand moving to rub her eyes because the light had dazzled her. She got up and took a sitting position. As her consciousness had gathered she slowly recalled what was going on.Yesterday she heard the call again. And again. This time it was more intense until she ran towards the forest in the middle of the night. She remembered Violet's fury towards her and the presence someone else, a woman.A woman who is not a human. That came out of the clumps of night mist like a ghost. She took Isabelle away. Then after that she didn't remember anything anymore.One fragment of her memory was of her body being laid on the bed by a stout hand. After that everything felt like a dream when she was drunk. Addictive mix of pressure and pleasure.Her smooth skin came rub together with a tough body as he fon
The two of them came out of the lodging when the sun was high in the sky. On the azure sky climate Violet saw flocks of black birds flying. Her clear cacao irises widened at the sight of the flock of tiny birds form a wide pattern in the air and then spread again. Unaware that Maxon gaze was watching her every move seriously "You seem interested in every little thing you see" Violet turned to him and her lips formed a sweet smile. "You look so beautiful when you smile, Violet," he said. Seeing him now, Violet wanted to scream that she should be the one who should be stunned. If only Maxon could hear Violet's heart now beating so wildly. This morning after coming out of the bathroom a lovely dress made of a silky garments was lying on the coverlets. The dress had a soft lavender color and fell like water following her curves. When Violet saw her appearance in the mirror, the dress fit perfectly on her body. But she felt unworthy to wear it. "Maxon, I.. I thank you once again" He
Alexander was walking around the town to have a look. The past few months he had traveled quite a bit to deal with some bandits and rebellion issues and so on that he paid little attention to his own people.Usually he didn't have the time and didn't care about this kind of event. Xander simply gave his permission, and the rest let things go. He wouldn't have left if his friend, who always found interest in every single thing, Nicholas, hadn't forced him to go out.But perhaps Nicholas did have a gift from the goddess, because this morning what Xander found was completely beyond his expectations.He felt his blood ripple.Last night, his owl returned to him with news that after a long time, managed to make his heart beat again. The girl had arrived back to Lusevell.His mate.After his astrologers predicted that Xander's mate might be dead or would only be born for another century, now fate has told them they were wrong.His bright blue irises flashed at the glance of her real presenc
As the street performers finished their third song, the audience threw money into the container in appreciation for the entertainment they had received.It wasn't long before the container was full and the singers, including a little girl who wandered into the crowd, were beaming. She dashed to them as soon as she noticed Isabelle watching them from the crowd."You came! You kept your promise!" She cheered enthusiastically to the two of them, it was obvious that the little girl was very happy. Isabelle ruffled her hair gently "How could we forget? I like your singing, Lola" "Thank you!" The little girl loved to sing, and she was even happier because since she met Isabelle, there was no Rogue to bother their show. "Are the men still messing around over there?" Victor asked her "No sir, they never come again. It's magic!" Lola explained with sparkling eyes "What did you do to them? Are they all in jail? Are you a cop?" Her eyes twinkled. The little girl couldn't help but be curiou
Tiffany followed Nicholas until they reach the dense forest area further and deeper, the man seemed to have no intention of stopping even though he was far from the manor and only entered into the darkness, there was nothing here except the trees. Tiffany needed to make her boyfriend realize that maybe he was just hallucinating about seeing someone. "Nich!" the girl called out, He finally stopped his running right then and there, the person he was sure he saw earlier was gone. So fast it ran away, whoever they are must have known that Nicholas saw and chased after them. What a wily creature in fleeing and hiding, but unfortunately it would not last long. "Who exactly are you chasing? You..seem to see someone so...so important?" Tiffany was breathing heavily after running after him. "A witch, she was a Silverfur prisoner who was to be sentenced to death, but she escaped from prison and the pack hasn't found her yet. I believe I saw her!"Nicholas replied as his eyes scanned the su
"Would you like to dance?" Nicholas offered his hand to her. The guests began to dance with their respective partners in the hall, in sync with the melody of the music. As Alpha Xander and Violet returned to the manor, more and more joined the dance. Tiffany just watched them from the banquet table in the corner, the couples seemed to be very good at dancing and moving their bodies. Being at this party, a werewolf party for the first time made the girl feel a little awkward because of just a few people she knew. she accepted it and let him lead her to the center of the hall to join the others. "I might step on your foot" the girl felt she better say it before she would step on his foot and startled him. Nicholas chuckled "I won't get mad" Actually he wasn't very good at this kind of dancing himself. Tiffany glanced around for her parents, only to find that they had already joined the dancing party at some point. "Nich, do you think I get along well with the werewolves, with th
This was not the first time Xander had seen her. In his eyes, his mate was the only woman capable of possessing his heart. Only Violet could do that. But now looking at her, coming down the stairs in her wedding dress, he felt like he was seeing her for the first time. He could barely take his eyes off her let alone breathe. The girl took all his attention, she seemed to shine like a full moon tonight. And the smile on her face was the prettiest of all. It was because he knew that it was a happy smile. Xander couldn't help himself and walk over to her, he held out a hand and she take it. And as the Alpha led his mate to the center of the hall, there were whispers from the guests that all made Xander smile. Everyone was saying that his bride was indeed the perfect mate for him. "What's wrong?" the girl whispered softly and quietly "Is there something wrong with my appearance? I overheard them talking about me a bit"Violet swallowed, she never liked being the center of attention be
Victor stared blankly at the corpse of a Lycan lying in front of him. The Alpha tried to catch his breath, his opponent was dead but his anger had not yet dissipated. This was the creature that had killed his parents all those years ago, cause they do it against his order. Or was it he who could not control them? Until they killed his father and mother. Now that the creature was still alive, alarms rang in his mind remembering who the Lycan tried to attack moments ago."Isabelle?" Victor looked around but the girl was no longer there. There was a large trash can next to a street lamp, the man walked over to it. Victor stopped when he found the girl cowering there, hiding. She was so scared that she didn't even dare to look into his eyes. Victor held out his hand, but she just stood still and stared at him motionless. Only then did he realize that he must now look too horrible for her to look at. His hands and shirt were covered in the Lycan's blood. That blood must have spread to h
"Alpha, there is a letter for Luna Isabelle from the Scarlet Claw pack" Gavriel handed the paper to himVictor raised an eyebrow. A letter to his Luna from Scarlet Claw? This must have been written by her twin. Victor stared at the letter for a while, he didn't want to open this first before her. But the man couldn't help his worry. What does it say? Her twin met his Luna a few days ago. Nicholas, the one who swore loyalty to his pack was now back with them. 'Is there something they are planning to do to my Luna?' he wondered.The man finally opened the paper and read the contents, and sure enough, it was written by Violet herself. Mom and dad are here.That was the first sentence written, Victor read the whole thing. Afterward, he folded the letter back up and put it in his pocket. The Alpha seemed silent for a moment, not making any comment on the contents of the letter. That made Gavriel wonder "Is the letter a threat?" Gavriel asked "Do we need to make preparations in case the
Inside the cafe, the atmosphere was warm and cozy. It's the end of autumn in the human world and the snow is starting to fall making the air even colder. Having a cup of coffee or chocolate in this weather is a must. "One hot chocolate and coffee. And a Black coffee" Isabelle told the waiter her order. "Alright, just a moment miss" the waiter left after taking the note. "How do you know what I want to drink?" Victor asked her, they were sitting opposite each other at the table in front of the window. Now the man was looking at the girl who seemed to be busy reading the menu book. They both visited the human world because she missed the taste of food here. After being presented with the menu, the girl was at a loss for choice. She even forgot the taste of the food here. "I didn't think that you would want chocolate or milk. I just ordered what you usually drink in Lusevell" she replied. Or something that tasted close to it because no drink here would taste the same as the one in
When they arrived at the manor, the Scarlet Claw pack had already gathered in the courtyard. Tiffany gulped as she passed through the crowd of werewolves who had their eyes on them. Nicholas held her hand tightly to steady her, while behind them, Davis and Diana looked around them and wondered what world they had entered. This was the first time Alpha Xander had invited a human to Lusevell, to their manor. Davis and Diana stopped, they stared at each other as if asking each other if they were dreaming. After entering Lusevell, Tiffany led them to the manor straight away. Diana blinked her eyes at the magnificent building in front of her, it was so beautiful. The surroundings were also very beautiful as if they had entered a world in a painting. In front of the entrance, a tall man stood. The man had sharp blue irises. When he saw the two of them, Xander give a warm smile. Diana immediately knew that he wasn't just anybody, he must be the leader here. What made Davis and Diana wid
The tense atmosphere slowly turned into awkwardness as none of them opened their mouths to speak. Tiffany stood by her mother's bed anxiously. She repeatedly tried to wake Diana, who still had her eyes closed. Across from her, Davis Miller massaged the bridge of his nose as he closed his eyes tightly.Neither father nor daughter spoke a word to each other. Tiffany wanted to speak up and start explaining but she was too scared, while Davis was just not sure where to start. Tiffany stroked her mother's hair softly "Please, wake up."There was a sigh from Davis who looked so tired. The man couldn't wait any longer for his wife to wake up from her stupor "I'll call the doctor" The man was about to walk out of the room. Tiffany stood up straight before the man reached the doorway, there was a coughing sound from the bed. They both turned to Diana who seemed to be massaging her forehead, the woman slowly began to open her eyes. "Mom" Tiffany quickly intervened as her mother insisted on
