"Earth to Laney! Geez, what are you thinking about?" Cassie yelled.I jumped in surprise, picked up my drink, and took a sip, "What? Did you say something?"She rolled her eyes, "Ugh of course I did, would I be talking to myself?"I laughed, "Sorry about that, I just... I just got carried away. What were you saying?"She huffed, "I said, there'll be a party tonight, and guess what? All those hot guys, the D-brothers will be there, what do you say? You'll be coming, right?""Ugh, Cass..." I started, but she cut me off."Don't Cass me, you're almost twenty-one, and you don't even have a boyfriend? Who knows if you still have your V-card intact, that will be a shame to me."I sighed, "You know I'm not interested, Cassie.""You will be, and you're coming with me tonight, come on, let's go check out your wardrobe and see what you have," she said, dragging me back to my room.I groaned"Cass!"She raided through my wardrobe huffing at what she's seeing there "Geez! Why would you have such clo
Devin took off his shirt after she left, throwing it in the trash. He couldn't help but smile happily, after searching for a long time, he has finally found something interesting. His boss is really going to like her. Without wasting time, he took out his phone to call him immediately. He picks up on the third ring. "You'll die if this isn't reasonable," he said. Devin gulps"No boss, it's reasonable! I think you'll like it, no love it." There was a slight pause, then"Capture her at once, do not touch her in any way or make any mistakes, or you'll regret it." "Yes, Boss." Their work is to search for females around the world, send them to their boss while he sells them to different werewolf packs. Devin and his brothers love this job because they get to play with some females before handing them to their boss. This time around, their boss gave them a special task, he wants them to find a feisty woman.
Hours later, the effect of the drugs finally wore off. I could finally move my body. I sat upright holding my tummy because I felt like using the bathroom. Furthermore, I couldn't hold in the pee anymore. I glanced around the room, wondering where the bathroom was and two doors. One of them must be the bathroom. I was about to come down from the huge bed when I heard footsteps. Shit! I quickly lied down just in time for the door to open. Stilling my breath, I heard humming again and then"Get up, dear, I know you're awake." I mentally widened my eyes. What? How do you know that? "Quickly, get up. We need to get you ready." My eyes opened, I sat up to see the woman, she should be in her late forties or so. "How do you know I'm awake?" I watched as she brought out some clothes and dropped them on the bed. "I know a thing or two about the human body." My eyes popped out at that." Human? Are yo
Seeing him walk in, I moved far away from him with my heart beating hard against my chest. He didn't say anything, his cold eyes watched my every movement. "W-who are you?" I asked, trying to put on a brave face even though my legs were trembling. He cocked his head to the side, but I was sure he didn't deign to retort. "Take off your clothes and get on the bed," he said coldly, his dark eyes watching me like prey. My heart skipped"What? Why should I do that?" I unconsciously moved further away from him. Hearing this, his eyes flashed in surprise, as if no one has ever questioned him before." Don't make me repeat myself, do as I say and strip." I raised her head haughtily, "No!" He cocked his head to the side and then in a blink of an eye, he appeared in front of me. I gasp fearfully. The hell!! How do they keep doing that? No one has ever moved that fast e
KNOX'S POV The ball was already in full swing when I arrived. Everyone stopped partying and bowed. Yes, you could say I'm the Alpha king here. For an unknown reason, I scanned the hall looking for her. Delaney. I felt slightly disappointed that she isn't here yet. There is something about her that seems different from other humans, I just don't know what that is. I strode over to my seat, once I'm seated, the party began again. Female humans danced while male vampires watched and drink. Today is all about choosing, every year, vampires gather here to choose humans and use them as concubines. The concubines are to satisfy the vampire's needs, either sexually or offer their blood to us. There is always a rule, though... the vampires are to treat them with care for a year. After a year, the human will choose between becoming one of us, or they die. You might think it's vile and awful, but
Cassie stayed in between the guys, loving every second as they touched her. "You're so beautiful, darling," the man with blue eyes said, grabbing her ass. She moans softly. This is like a dream come true for her! She's sure all the girls in the club are glaring daggers at her. Rumors said that the D– brothers never talk to anyone whenever they show up in this club, only drink and leave. Never once have they been seen with any girl, some began to wonder if they're gay but clearly, they're not. Because they're all over her, touching her. Laney needs to see this, Cassie hopes she's also getting some, ha! Suddenly, their hands froze on her skin. She frowns, "What happened?" "Sorry, sweetheart, we need to go." "What? Why?" They already left before she could question them. She pursed her lips, "Ahh why did this happen? I already had them in my arms." With a sigh, she deci
~ DELANEY's POV ~ Knowing he can read my mind, I tried my best not to think of anything and stared at him. "Hmph, I guess you have so, I want you to show me." Show him? How will I do that? He gave me a toothy grin exposing his fangs which means he read my mind. "It's easy darling, you pick the one you're comfortable in using, then show me how you did it." I raised my chin, "What happens if I don't do it?" "What happens?" His icy gray eyes went to my neck, sending chills down my spine. I understood what that meant, he'll bite me and suck my blood. I shook my head fiercely, "You wouldn't do that" He slowly stood up and stalk towards me, "Lesson one, never threaten a vampire, it sends a thrill into us that'll make them want to fulfill It at all costs." He stopped a few feet away from me before speaking, "And trust me when I say I love the threats." "W–What's yo
I freeze instantly upon hearing that, somehow I knew the lady is a vamp. Oh God, why am I so unlucky? Is she going to kill me now? "You're the new alpha king's concubine, right?" Concubine? She pressed a blade to the back, not too hard to wound me, "Answer me." I nodded quickly,"Yes, I am. Please don't hurt me." I whimpered. "Quiet. Look, I can help you get out of here, there's a way out, but that depends on if you want to leave." I blinked, "You know a way out?" That wasn't what I was expecting. My heart rate spiked up in excitement, knowing I can leave here without depending on Knox. I can leave before my one-week expires. "Yes, but I don't have much time, just do as I say. Got it?" I nodded and listened to her plan, "Remember, don't tell anyone about it or else you'll be killed." With that, she slipped out of the dressing room, leaving me in my shocked state. Not long after that, I heard... "De
Does this mean my parents cause the rift between the werewolves and the vampires? But they were only two people in love who weren't concerned about their identity. What was wrong with that? Do they think that dad really killed mom? She died of childbirth. I… I killed my mother. Tears filled my eyes instantly the moment I realized this. I haven't finished digesting this news when someone broke the shower door. I jumped out of the bathtub in surprise. Rakel stood at the door, his eyes running over my body and then the bathroom. “Are you okay? I've been knocking.” “I…” How do I tell him I'm the product of the very thing they hated the most? What will they do if they find out what I am? In other to hide my fear from Rakel, I distracted him by picking a towel from the rack and using it to cover my body. His eyes followed my movement, but he didn't step into the bathroom. We both stood there silently, watching each other. Right at that time, a familiar feeling started in my tumm
Delaney's POV ~It's been two days since we arrived at Valleys, with no sign of the ‘Heat’. Everything has been calm. Extremely calm, which doesn't sit well with me. I feel as though something has changed in valleys since the last time I came here. A feeling that something is wrong somewhere. Just like the calm before the storm? That's precisely how I feel now. Something is about to happen, something big. But, what? What is going to happen? Am I the only one sensing this?I glanced down at Rakel who sat in the living room discussing with some of his pack members and sighed. Knox has gone out to attend a meeting with his fellow vampires. Though they said nothing to me, I know they've been busy these days. I had inadvertently put them in a tight spot by forcing Knox to bring Rakel here. If the news gets out, it will dissatisfy the vampires with the werewolves in their kingdom. Knox had to teleport Rakel and his pack members to his mansion to avoid the p
Cassie's POV ~I had the nicest dream ever that night. I dreamt an angel watched over me throughout the night, keeping me safe. The notion left me protected, never felt that safe. And when he kissed me, I felt like I'm on cloud nine; I didn't want it to stop. His lips moved from my mouth to my forehead.Though, as his lips touched my skin, I frown. Why does it feel so real? Just as I was about to shrug off the feeling, I heard the door banged up. Immediately, my eyes snapped open, and I stared at the ceiling for a while. After a few minutes, everything that happened last night flooded into my head, causing me to curse. “Crap! It's not a dream!”His smell lingered in the air. Not only that, the slight ache in the neck and me, lying naked on the bed, proofs I'm not dreaming! Getting up, I made my way to the bathroom — wincing at the soreness I felt between my legs. I glanced at myself in the mirror and couldn't help but curse at Asher, beho
“What?!!”I yelled after they told me about the heat thing. “You knew about this, yet you still marked me?”When no one answered, I scoffed in disbelief. “Is there any other thing you guys are hiding from me? The thing I should know?”They both averted their eyes from mine which made me suspicious. It's funny how two dominant males became mute under my gaze. Just the thought of experiencing another heat caused me to shudder. From the looks of it, it won't be long before I go through it again. Why won't they just mate with me and let go of their pride? The knowledge made me glare at them in anger.Knox decided to change the topic by saying, “You can't live here any more Delaney, you need to come with us.”I scoffed. “Why should I? It's like you're forgetting you both rejected me last night.”“That's not it…”“Then? Tell me what it is!” I spat. &l
Delaney's POV ~The moment I slipped into darkness, I found myself outside a cave — the same one I dreamt of last night. This time, I re-watch what transpired, with the couple not regarding my existence.“Don't give up, my lover, you can do this. We will do this together.”“I can't. I feel so tired, I want to sleep.”“Not now, my love, you need to push. Just give it one more try, okay?”She nodded. “Damon? What will we do if they find out about her? You need to protect her, Damon.”“I will, with my life. Now, are you ready?”She responded and pushed, gripping Damon's hand. However, no matter how she pushed, the baby just won't come out. The woman fell back to the little cloth she was lying on, breathing hard. Watching from the sidelines, I could tell she's already exhausted. So many questions filled my head at that moment. Questions like, why are they in t
I don't know what Knox meant by I'm going into heat, but I have a feeling it has something to do with what's happening to me now. All at once, all the werewolf males in the room began moving towards me, the vampire males rushing out of the house. I couldn't bring myself to figure out why, nor do I care. I didn't notice Asher going out. When did he even show up here? I thought he was with Cassie…Rakel paused halfway when he noted the wolves behind him. He growled at them, looking like he would shift at any moment. I would have been afraid of him if I wasn't in this state because he looked feral. The male wolves whimpered under their Alpha's gaze, turned, and left the room.Seeing that only Rakel and Knox were the only ones in the suite, I palmed my breast — moaning out loud at the jolt of electricity that zinged through my body. But it wasn't enough. I wanted them to a point of pain. Rakel arrived at my side. His mouth slammed against mine an
There was silence then Ten, Rakel's beta broke it by saying, “Luna, you are asking for war. You do realize that, don't you? If you don't choose between them, then there's no way the vampire kingdom and our pack will unite.”“Exactly! That's impossible!” Keith, who was sitting beside him, chimed in.I maintained my blank face even as Knox and Rakel scrutinized me. They still haven't gotten over what I just said. They were stunned. I could feel them through the bond trying to probe into my mind, to know what I was thinking, but I didn't give them that chance to do that. I kept my mental shield up.Knox couldn't hold it in again, he walked over to me and took my hand. “Tell me something, Delaney, is someone stopping you from making a choice? I can…”“No, Knox. I've thought this through on my own, no one is stopping me. It's either I have you both to myself or we end things here. I've made my decision, no
Delaney's POV ~ Knox teleported himself home after that. I laid my head on the window while thinking. ‘Am I doing the right thing? How will the meeting tomorrow go?’ In other, to calm the raging headache from my hangover, I moved to the kitchen to prepare the hangover tea I learned from Cassie. Speaking of Cassie, she doesn't seem to be at home. She and Asher. I wonder how last night went for them or where they are now. As I sipped my drink, I heard a meowing sound in the living room. On reaching there, I saw Mr. Toms lying on the couch. “Hey there, big guy. Where have you been?” he seems to have disappeared forever since Rakel showed up. Ambling to him, I patted his fur and sighed. “What should I do, Toms? Did I make the right decision?” The next day, Cassie returned home without Asher. I raised my brow curiously, wondering what happened between them. I wanted to ask but dropped it for now. I have enough on my plate as it, s
Outside Delaney's house, I was about to barge in when I heard her voice.“Asher… no! I want more!”Asher grunted. “No, you don't. If your mates find us like this, we will both be in trouble.”My eyes narrowed. Don't tell me Asher really took advantage of her in that state.“Ah! Please, Asher, I need more. This isn't enough.” She moaned.Huh, she's even begging him for more? This can't be happening. Is Rakel stupid for leaving his cousin in our mate's house?“Pretty please…”“Fine, just don't let your mates know about this.”Right at that time, I barge into the house, ready to kill that bastard with a punch him to death. “Too late Asher. I already know about it.”However, the scene inside was different from the one I expected. Instead, of seeing them naked, I saw Delaney clutching a bottle of alcohol while Asher struggl
