As we made our way downstairs, Kate managed to pull her hand out of my grip as soon as she caught sight of Joey.
He had a black afro with a thick beard. He was the bar’s owner and also happened to be a friend of mine.
“Sir, I’m so sorry for disappearing in the middle of service. I-“
“Oh Kate. You don’t have to worry about it. Deimon informed me that you weren’t feeling well and wanted to take the rest of the evening off. I’ve already approved your leave so you can go ahead.” Joey informed her after taking a glance at me, catching Kate off guard.
She turned her gaze towards me, meeting my cold one.
“You don’t have any more excuses now.” I whispered in her ears before I pulled her away once again, not feeling at ease until she was out of the premises.
“Get back to your dorm. I better not find you anywhere outside, did you get it?” I yelled in an authoritative tone as I flung her outside the bar’s entrance.
“But-“ she tried to protest but I slammed the door on her face.
I made my way inside the bar to the VIP room, completely ignoring her thereafter.
“Why did you do that? You’re really killing me here, Deimon.” Onyx gave me a hearing, as soon as our mate left our gaze.
I rubbed my forehead after putting my glass of whiskey down.
“I’ve already told you before to keep it in our pants but you are such a f*cking horndog. How could you seriously think of wanting to f*ck her?” I rebuked him, completely upset at the way he kept wanting to stick it inside Kate.
I had a very clear goal in mind for Kate and that was to end her life soon, not mark her. It was completely frustrating that Onyx was defying me by acting on his own, even dragging me along with it.
“And I’ve already told you this before as well. She’s my mate, genius. I can’t suppress my desire to be inside her just because you tell me to do so.” He talked back, clearly upset by my restrictions on him.
I growled, annoyed by my own wolf’s behavior when suddenly I felt a pair of petite arms wrap around mine.
My nose was filled with a familiar scent, making me recognize who had entered the room without announcing themselves.
“Deimon, what are you doing here? I’ve been looking all over for you.” I heard Monica ask in a gentle tone, leaning her head against my shoulder.
I sighed, pushing my anger and frustration aside and asked nonchalantly, “Monica, it’s a party. Why don’t you go enjoy it with your friends?”
She snuggled her head on my shoulder, something that she likes to do most of the time, and replied with a saddened tone, “I was but they wanted to see my handsome fiance and you were nowhere to be found. I called you several times but you weren’t picking up your phone either.”
She fished my phone out of my pocket and waved the several missed calls that flashed on my screen to me. I closed my eyes for a moment, trying to maintain myself and Onyx as I wasn’t in the mood to deal with anyone.
Waiting for a response from me, Monica furrowed her brows, letting go of my hand and standing in front of me.
“What’s this Deimon? You’ve been hanging out with that b*tch again, haven’t you?” She asked with anger evident in her voice.
“What?” .
“Yes, don’t you try to deny it. I can smell her all over you.” She retorted, her nostrils filled with Kate’s scent that was rubbed over my body.
I couldn’t believe her strong sense of smell. She was able to puzzle everything together in a matter of seconds.
“She is a waitress here and the place is crowded. It’s obvious that I might’ve bumped into her.” I lied with a serious tone.
I didn’t want to admit anything especially since I knew it would upset her even more.
“But the smell is so strong-“ Monica tried to protest, taking a deeper sniff of Kate’s scent on me but I couldn’t take it anymore.
Suddenly, without any warning, I held onto her and pressed my lips on hers, silencing her immediately. I wasn’t in the mood to hear her complaints anymore, my patience already ticked off because of Kate.
My wolf and I were still in heat since I didn’t get to f*ck Kate earlier. I needed to release all the sexual tension that was building up inside me.
My long member was as hard as a rock. It cushioned against Monica’s dress, making her realize how h*rny I was.
She kissed me back without any hesitation, letting her wet tongue enter my mouth while I held onto her neck, forcing her face towards mine.
Monica was a contrast to Kate. Her back arched, as she had given up her entire body to me, an act that made me crave her even more.
I could tell she wanted me to use her mercilessly as she guided my hand to her entrance underneath her dress, making me feel how wet she was.
Suddenly, I retreated my hand from her, my eyes glaring down at her. I wasn’t in the mood to f*ck Monica, despite being so hard. My mind was still focused on Kate, making me frustrated that she wasn’t around anymore.
“Let’s just go home. I’m tired.” I said coldly, declining her advances before turning around and walking away.
“You always say that I’m the only one in your life, yet you can’t even stand to spend the night with me. You could only spend it with that b*tch” Monica sneered, provoking me to return to her.
“For f*ck’s sake, Monica. What do I need to do to prove to you that I’m not interested in her?” I barked, upset that she was clinging onto those accusations.
She gently pressed her hands against my chest, making me sit down on the chair behind me.
“If you want to prove it, then let me make you happy.” She said seductively, brushing against my hard bulge with her forefinger.
She went on her knees, kneeling between my legs.
Fixing her eyes on mine, she unbuckled my pants and unzipped me, before assisting me in pulling my pants down.
My long hard member sprang out from my boxers hitting my navel, causing Monica to widen her eyes in front of it.
“I really missed this.” She whispered as she took my member in her hand.
Her petite hands struggled to hold its girth as she licked it, making it extremely wet with her saliva before opening her mouth wide and taking it in.
As she sucked it, my eyes rolled back in pleasure. I pushed her head, forcing her to take my entire member in her, choking her before finally letting go.
She craved for more, constantly stroking my member and sucking it.
Although it was my fiancée getting me off, my mind couldn’t get rid of Kate. Her lips were all I could think about as Monica continued to make me moan in pleasure.
Kate’s POV:
After Deimon shut the door on my face, I stuffed the money inside my purse and took a step ahead, attempting to walk back into the bar but I stopped myself.
I knew Deimon’s anger knew no bounds and defying him would only get me into a lot of trouble, making me accept his decision and begin my way back to my dorm.
“Kate, wait up. You forgot your phone back there.” I heard Joey call out to me from behind, making me stop in my tracks instantly.
I turned around and found Joey handing my phone over to me.
I must’ve forgotten about it when the fight had broken out earlier between Deimon and Chris. Everything had been so hectic that I left my phone on the table. Luckily, amidst the crowded party, no one had stolen it.
“T-Thank you so much, sir.” I received the phone with a small forced smile.
“No problem. You should get home soon and have some rest. Make sure you come back to work once you’re better.” He instructed, making me feel very conscious of myself.
I knew it was a lie. I wasn’t ill in any way shape or form but only the moon goddess knew what Deimon had told him.
I wasn’t the type of person to casually just lie like Deimon did but because I didn’t want to prolong the painful night, I was forced to play along with it.
“Y-Yes sir. Thank you.” I stammered, averting my sight from Joey’s gaze.
“Come to think of it, I never saw Deimon asking me to grant leaves for my other employees but he did it for you. Do you happen to know him from somewhere?” Joey asked with a spark of curiosity igniting in his black orbs, causing a drop of sweat to drip down my neck.
“N-No, sir. I don’t. I’ve only been his waitress for the evening and never actually properly spoke to him before that.” I hastily mentioned, wanting to destroy any assumptions that he was brewing in his mind.
Although I did have some unpleasant encounters with him before, I couldn’t possibly let him know about it.
He wasn’t just my boss but Deimon’s friend as well. I did not want any complications to arise because of it.
Anyways, it was true that Deimon and I never really talked. It was always us finding ourselves in weird situations, especially on my first day in the Academy.
This evening, however, was the most bizarre, with nothing making sense in my head, no matter how hard I went through it.
“I see. In that case, I’d say that you should keep your eyes peeled and stay away from him. You know it’s never a good idea to get into the lives of an Alpha like him. I’m just looking out for you as your employer.” Joey warned, making me wide my eyes.
What he told me wasn’t anything new. When I found out that Deimon was studying in the same Academy, I vowed to myself to never cross paths with him.
I knew how dangerous it was to be around him but my fate was so cruel that it was always Deimon who made his way to me.
I couldn’t understand what his intentions were but I knew they were not going to be good.
“Yes sir, I understand. Thank you.” I said nonchalantly, before turning around and walking away, silently.I opened the door to my dorm quietly, as I feared disturbing Anna in case she was fast asleep.“Back so soon?” I heard Anna’s surprised question escape her lips as soon as I entered my dorm, putting my bag on a chair.She wasn’t asleep, in fact she was wide awake, working on something on her laptop.“I wasn’t feeling well so I took a leave for the rest of the evening.” I continued the same lie that Deimon forced on me, not wanting to alert Anna. She had already done so much for me that it would be unfair for her to learn more about my problems, especially since she was the only reason I was able to get a job at the bar.I did not want her to think that my life was getting complicated because of it, especially since I greatly depended on my salary there.Upon hearing about my sickness, Anna took her laptop out of her lap and placed it on her bed before approaching me with a worrie
Kate’s POV:As she nodded, I took a moment before asking with a desperate tone, "It's a bit sudden, but can you please help me escape the academy by tonight? I can't stay here any longer; I need to leave."Anna furrowed her brows, shocked by my sudden request. I began explaining everything regarding the plan Hilda had shared with me before I was sent to the academy.I had given it deep thought during the night. Although I initially wanted to gather a bit more money before leaving, I decided not to prolong this any further. I didn't want to wait for Deimon or anyone to make my life any more difficult. The longer I stayed in the academy, the more I felt on the edge of my seat.After a moment of silence, Anna expressed concern, saying, "I mean, I can, but how will you leave? This place is crawling with security guards, and I don't think your grandfather will be happy if he learns you tried to run away and got caught.""I have some money... I can offer it to some of the guards," I suggest
Kate’s POV:I clutched the straps of my backpack, swallowing hard as my eyes locked onto Chris.He glanced at me from his seat, his jaw clenching, and his hands forming tight fists itching to reach me.The anger burning in his eyes made it seem like he wanted to kill me right then and there.As I hesitated at the classroom entrance, Anna hurried back to my side before I could proceed any further.“What’s wrong, Kate? They can’t know that you don’t have a wolf, remember? My spell will protect you, so it's okay. Come on in,” Anna spoke in a hushed voice, sensing my distress.While I understood that my lack of a wolf wouldn't be a significant issue due to the spell, I also realized it wouldn't shield me from Chris' wrath.I hadn’t known before if Chris blamed me for what Deimon had done to him, but judging by his intense glare, it seemed likely.It pained me to see that, especially since I had no control over Deimon.Nervously nodding at Anna, I followed her into the classroom, aware of
Kate’s POV:I found myself frozen, as if anticipating the sensation of his lips on mine, recalling how it felt the previous night. I was unsure of my actions, unable to stop cursing myself internally.It was if my heart was betraying my mind, a feeling that I was unable to comprehend.As Deimon drew dangerously close, we were abruptly interrupted by a voice from outside the cave.“Deimon? Deimon?” Monica's voice called out, capturing both of our attention.It shook me from my train of thought, taking me back to the real world.Deimon released his grip on me, his gaze shifting from my lips to the cave's entrance.My head was still lowered, as I made myself stand on my own two feet. I brushed my lips with my finger, the feeling of his touch still imprinted on them.I was still recovering from the recent events when Deimon reverted to his cold demeanor, catching me off guard."Get to the flag while I check on her," he ordered, turning away and walking without sparing another glance at me
Kate’s POV:“What the f*ck did you do to her?” Deimon yelled, the intensity of his volume making me jump in my spot.I was hyperventilating, seeing Monica’s blood continuously drip out of her hair. The ground below her was covered in blood while Deimon too was stained with her blood.My legs were shaking as I was gripped by anxiety by the sight of the blood and the bruises that were covering her arms and face.“I-I didn’t do it. I swear.” I cried out as sweat and tears covered my entire face. I wasn’t able to move from my spot as my body froze up.I felt numb all over my body, making it extremely difficult for me to remain focused on what was going on.“What is going on here? You guys have taken far too long.” Mr Cooper’s voice echoed into the cave, prompting both Deimon and I to shift our attention from Monica to it.“Oh my god. What the hell happened here?” Mr Cooper raised his tone, out of concern when his vision caught sight of both Monica and Chris’ bodies.“Forget it. We need to
Kate’s POV:I stood outside the house that was explicitly made for the hunting team of the academy. The front door of the house was wide open with various coloured lights flashing outside. Many people were crowding the building, attending the party that was thrown because of their consecutive win against the teams of other academies.“Kate, what’s wrong? Let’s go inside.” Anna said with excitement when she realized that I stopped walking further just before entering the front yard.“I don’t think I should come. I don’t want to ruin the party. Everyone already hates me because of everything that happened earlier.” I expressed the reason behind my hesitation to attend the party.I couldn’t imagine being near anyone after the entire chaos that took place in combat class. I was embarrassed to show my face in public after that.It was only because of Anna’s insistence that I was even able to get out of bed, dress up and walk all the way to the team’s house on campus.Anna thinned her lips
In front of me, I saw Deimon and Gandal fighting each other, both their faces bruised and bloodied up. Many people gathered at the entrance of the room, cheering for either of them to win.I was horrified, seeing the two Alphas battle each other, but no matter how much I wanted to stop the fight, my body remained frozen. I knew that if I put myself in their way, I would be crushed instantly.“Stop this! Stop it!” Anna yelled from the entrance but neither Gandal nor Deimon paid any heed to her.Suddenly, amidst their punches and kicks, a loud whistle was blown. The campus police entered the room, disengaging the fight almost instantly as they separated both Gandal and Deimon.They tried to break free from the police’s hold but they eventually gave up.“I’m sorry but we received numerous complaints of a commotion here. We’ll need to take both you Alphas to the station asap. Everyone else here, come with us. We’d need your statement.” The police officer said as the other officers rounded
Shrugging the thoughts aside, I opened the door and locked it immediately as I slipped in.Knowing I was all alone at last, I couldn’t help but break down as my anxiety flourished at an alarming rate. My face turned red, and my breathing fastened in pace. Sweat and fears dripped down my body as I recalled everything that happened.Monica’s words stung me hard, no matter how hard I tried to ignore them. It pained me to think that she believed I was capable of not only hurting her but also trying to steal her fiancé. It made me feel disgusted just thinking about it.Although I didn’t have a wolf, I realized the importance of having a mate is paramount to a werewolf. I would never want to step on someone else’s happiness just for some cheap fun with them.I wasn’t like that, but everyone in the entire academy believed that that was who I was. A cheap wh*re.Picking myself up from the floor, I dragged my body into the bathroom. I didn’t know what else could make me feel better, so I decid
"We can’t trust them anymore," one of the dissenters was saying. "This alliance is going to destroy us. We need to take control before it’s too late.""And what about Kate?" another voice asked. "She’s the key to all this. If we take her out, Deimon will crumble."Kate’s breath caught in her throat. The betrayal was more profound than she had imagined. But before she could process it further, Deimon stepped forward, revealing himself to the group."What do you think you’re doing?" he demanded, his voice low and dangerous.The dissenters froze, their eyes wide with shock. But it was the figure at the center of the group that caught Kate’s attention—the one she had seen in her vision. It was Garrick, the wolf who had voiced his doubts earlier that day."Garrick," Deimon said, his voice filled with disbelief and anger. "How could you?"Garrick met his gaze, unrepentant. "This is bigger than you, Deimon. Bigger than any of us. The pack’s survival is at stake. You’re too blinded by your lo
“They’ve resurfaced,” Anna continued, her voice tight with urgency. “And they’ve teamed up with the rival Alpha. They’re after the Luna’s Tear, yes, but that’s not all. They need you, Kate.”“Me?” Kate’s voice was barely above a whisper.Anna nodded, her gaze softening with sympathy. “Your bloodline, Kate. It traces back to the first Luna, the one who originally wielded the Luna’s Tear. It’s said that only her descendants can fully unlock its power. They need you to gain that power.”Deimon’s grip on the edge of the table tightened, his knuckles turning white. “So this isn’t just about uniting the packs. They want to use Kate as a weapon.”“Exactly,” Anna confirmed. “They believe that with the Luna’s Tear and Kate, they can control not just the packs, but the entire supernatural world. They’ll stop at nothing to get what they want.”A heavy silence fell over the room as the weight of Anna’s words settled in. Kate felt a storm of emotions swirling within her—fear, anger, a deep sense o
Kate stirred awake, the first light of dawn filtering through the heavy curtains of their bedroom. She felt the warmth of Deimon’s body beside her, his arm draped protectively over her waist. For a moment, she allowed herself to stay still, savoring the peacefulness of the morning, a rare moment of calm before the chaos of the day would begin.As if sensing her thoughts, Deimon tightened his hold on her, pulling her closer. "Good morning," he murmured, his voice still heavy with sleep.Kate turned in his arms to face him, her heart fluttering at the sight of his familiar features, softened by the early light. "Morning," she whispered back, her lips curving into a small smile. "Did you sleep well?"He brushed a strand of hair from her face, his fingers lingering on her cheek. "With you by my side? Always."She laughed softly, a sound that seemed to lighten the air between them. "You always know just what to say.""It’s the truth," he replied, his voice serious now. "Every day with you
The dawn of a new day bathed the Academy grounds in a soft, golden light. Kate stood in the clearing, feeling the energy of the Luna’s Tear coursing through her, amplifying her newfound powers. Deimon stood beside her, his presence a comforting anchor.“Alright, Kate,” he said, his voice steady and encouraging. “Let’s see what you can do.”Kate closed her eyes and focused, letting the energy flow through her. She felt the air around her shift, responding to her will. With a flick of her wrist, she manipulated the light and shadows, creating intricate patterns in the air. Deimon watched with awe and pride, and Kate could feel his support bolstering her confidence.“You’re getting better every day,” he said, smiling.“Thanks to you,” she replied, meeting his gaze. “Your belief in me makes all the difference.”Their training sessions had become a daily routine, drawing the attention of others at the Academy. Whispers of Kate’s abilities spread, and soon, instructors and students alike be
Kate sat cross-legged on her bed, the old leather-bound journal resting on her lap. The faded gold lettering on the cover read “Erica,” her mother’s name. Her fingers traced the letters as she took a deep breath, feeling a strange mix of excitement and trepidation. This journal held the secrets of her family’s past, secrets that could change everything she knew about herself.Deimon entered the room, his presence steady and reassuring. He noticed the journal and sat beside her, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. “Are you ready?” he asked softly.Kate nodded, her resolve firm. “Yes. Let’s find out what my mother had to say.”Opening the journal, she began to read aloud. The first entries were mundane, detailing everyday life, but as she turned the pages, the tone shifted. Her mother’s words grew more urgent, more desperate.***July 10, 1995I’ve kept this secret for so long, hidden from everyone, even my own family. The connection to the Umbra Pack is deeper than anyone knows.
The news spread like wildfire throughout Umbra Academy. Gandal, the future Alpha of the Norse Pack, had issued a challenge to Deimon, seeking to test his strength and authority. Jealousy and ambition had driven Gandal to this point, and now the entire Academy was abuzz with anticipation.Deimon stood in the training room, his thoughts racing as he prepared for the duel. Kate and their allies were gathered around, their support a steady source of strength.“Are you sure about this?” Kate asked, her voice laced with concern. “Gandal is known for being ruthless.”Deimon nodded, meeting her worried gaze. “I have to do this. It’s not just about me; it’s about proving our strength and leadership. If I back down now, it’ll send the wrong message.”Kate sighed, her eyes filled with a mix of fear and determination. “Just be careful. I can’t bear the thought of losing you.”Deimon reached out, cupping her face in his hands. “I promise, I’ll be careful. And I’ll win.”Killian clapped a hand on D
As the days passed, Anna continued her investigation into the Crescent Order. She occasionally updated Deimon and the others on her progress, though the information was still limited. One evening, she came to them with a particularly intriguing lead.“I’ve spoken with a few contacts,” Anna said, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “There’s a rumor that the artifact they’re after is an ancient relic known as the Luna’s Tear. It’s said to grant immense power to whoever possesses it.”Killian frowned. “What kind of power?”Anna shrugged. “The legends are vague, but it’s believed to enhance the abilities of its holder, making them nearly invincible. If the Crescent Order gets their hands on it, they could dominate all the werewolf packs.”Kate looked at Deimon, her face set with determination. “We can’t let that happen.”“We won’t,” Deimon said firmly. “But we need more information. Keep digging, Anna. We need to know exactly what we’re dealing with.”Anna nodded, her determination clear.
The sun was setting, casting a fiery glow across the horizon. Deimon stood on the balcony of his apartment, staring out at the sprawling grounds of Umbra Academy. It was a place of power and prestige, but also one of danger and deceit. Recent events had only reinforced that truth.Inside, Kate was probably unpacking the last of her things. Since she had moved in with Deimon and Killian, the place had felt different—warmer, more alive. Despite her being wolfless, there was something about her that drew him in. His wolf, Onyx, was particularly intrigued by her. Restless now, Onyx paced in the back of Deimon’s mind, urging him to claim and protect her.Deimon turned his thoughts to the task at hand. Anna had asked to speak with him urgently, hinting she had information about Kate’s tormentors. He didn’t trust Anna completely, but she had proven herself a valuable ally. Her intelligence network within the Academy was unparalleled.A knock on the door brought him back to the present. Turni
The rooster's crow pierced the pre-dawn darkness, a harsh alarm clock that jolted Deimon awake. He sat up abruptly, the events of the previous night crashing down on him like a tidal wave. Shame burned in his gut, the memory of the Earthstalker's lifeless eyes a constant reminder of his savagery.But amidst the self-loathing, a spark of hope flickered. Kate's gentle touch, her unwavering trust – they were a lifeline thrown to him in the storm. He had a lot to make up for, but for the first time, he felt a clear path forward.He needed to see Anna. He needed answers, not just about Kate's tormentor, but about the darkness that had consumed him during the competition. Throwing on his clothes, he raced out of the hut, the cool morning air a welcome slap against his feverish cheeks.As he sprinted towards the training grounds, a memory surfaced, sharp and unexpected. It was Anna, her voice a low murmur in his ear, just before the start of the competition. "Win, Deimon," she'd whispered,
