-VANCE’S POV-

Shuddering gaps from her mouth caused blood to dribble down her chin. She was so fragile considering that I hadn’t applied a full method of torture to this mermaid. The saline water was a requirement for her healing. Therefore, staying hostage on the shoreline was certain to enhance her injuries to a critical state. Prolonged time on land was their number one weakness.

In the shallows, the choppy waves broke around the rocks and their foaming crests formed erratic tracery over the azure. Sianna's apprehension was rising through our mate bond. Suddenly, I missed her scent. My rage seared. A perfectly good night with my mate was ruined by this vile sea creature.

“End this now.” My wolf wanted her blood now. I hated to repeat myself to this half-fish. Still crouched in front of her, all my nails became claws as I flashed them in her face.

“Don’t mermaids make good tuna rolls?” My wolf wondered amusingly.

    -VANCE’S POV-It was Sianna who charged at Ezekiel this time. She blew a fuse at the mention of our pup. Rage consumed her. I held her around the waist to stop her cute little attack. She fought against me but my robust strength kept her feet from moving forward.He was the creepy Alpha who had been stalking Sianna with his presence all night and was very much an accomplice of the mermaid.“No-no,” Ezekiel cried in desperation. His face was stained with tears. “I would never go against you, my king! It was her, the fucking mermaid!”“Foolish son of a bitch.” Gong spat out in hatred.“He’s good as dead.” I heard Basil say.Several other murmurs sluiced and I silenced them with a fierce growl. “Enough!” The crowd went immediately quiet and still as a statue, and I continued, “Do you know the consequences of what could have transpired tonight? Do you think that if I had lost my mate that there would be any excuse in the world that you could have given me?”My arms tightened around Sianna

As her flirty brown eyes flickered to meet mine, she tried to brush her fingers through the messy ponytail of my black hair. “We were lovers, Vance, and I’m sure that you don’t want your precious Luna to know that I’m back.”I scoffed.Esme paled. She seemingly expected a different outcome. I would never welcome her with warmth after the fact that she was exiled from Dark Wolverson. Was it Blayne or Duke who allowed her in the pack? I’m about to bust off their asses today.A ray of anger morphed into her features and she scowled at me. “Don’t forget that I also was carrying your child until….”“Don’t waste my time!” I warned her, not touching my meal. “Whatever you want, say it before today is your final day of breathing.”Suddenly, her face converted into a familiar seductive look. One that she had used plenty of times in the past to get what she wanted from me. I wanted to heave and vomit.“Vance,” she purred with a

Tomorrow might be a better day.” I had to take a rain check. My mate claimed that he was on his way and I cannot shake the feeling my wolf gave me earlier about some woman fiddling with him.“Alright, later.”“Bye-bye.” I hung up the phone and rolled my shoulders.I closed the patient file, placing it down on the pile before me. I took up the big folder to my right that enlisted all the patients in the hospital to assess their reason for being admitted. I was in the medic room, sitting behind my white desk. My major concern rested with the women and children in ensuring the abused ones were being catered to by law enforcement and with proper counseling.With Mom still being the Chief Medical Officer for the region, my work was a bit easier. Since she enjoyed her job so much. I don’t know how Dad did it when, in werewolf society,

    -VANCE’S POV-Shaking my head slowly, I silenced her with a forefinger on her bruised lips. When Sianna asked me the question, I had given her a kiss so fierce and brutal that left them bruised with metallic blood settling its taste on my tongue.“Vance, you will answer me.” Her sweet voice demanded. “Who―”“I need you,” I interrupted her and pressed my groin into the core between her legs.Already my cock throbbed like it would burst from my pants. I smashed my lips on hers. She was cuter when she was angry, but I’m not about to open a can of worms by mentioning another woman. One that would rifle her flaming anger against me.I captured that sugary tongue of hers and devoured the perimeters of her mouth. Her tongue took mine in a ferocious battle of need. Indeed, I won. I needed to feel her more. More than the damn air that I breathed.On cue, she moved her hips so that her pussy rubbed against my bulging cock. I burned for my Luna to the point where the friction from the material a

    Sleep paralysis: when you cannot move or speak while waking up or falling asleep. It can be scary but harmless and also be accompanied by a sleep-related hallucination, which can be simple images or more complex.-VALEN’S POV-“Oh my God….someone…..help me!” The girl ran through the nicotine-brown forest screaming.Even though the charring autumn sun was beating her down, she appeared to have an exceptionally porcelain white complexion, and her multi-toned beach wave hair of deep grey to teal blue was tied in a delicate knot at the nape of her neck, giving the impression of being very long.A ferocious pride of lions relentlessly chased her as she tried her best to get away from them and jumped into a yucky algae-covered pond. Swimming a few meters to provide space between her and the hunters, she re-emerged on the muddy banks. Footprints carved their memoirs as her black high-top sneakers walked on. She fell twice in the slippery dampness, resulting in her hands, knees, and feet bein

    -VALEN’S POV-Music.The alluring symphony of the sea invaded my ears like a nightingale's tale; gentle and pleasant on the eardrums and similar to a music box. Sung at a deliberate tempo, the chorus went on and on. Its musical chord lured me into an awakening light.Dudump. Dudump. Dudump.Suddenly, my heart pulsed back to life as the softest lips touched mine, parting them. They did not move until air entered my system. Somehow, I was alive and breathing again. Perplexed, spiritless, and paralyzed in the deepest parts of the frigid sea.My black lids fluttered open. The stinging sea water blurred my vision. I felt this slippery person pressing against me even though I could not see. A hand was knotted in my black dancing strands and the other rested on the broadness of my right shoulder.When my lips got their freedom, I thought this person would help me get to the surface. Instead, my drenched brain realized I was being guided lower to the bottom of the chilling sea.Why am I here?

As my chest erratically heaved, I saw nothing until the hallucinations wilted.Goosebumps rose all over my body from the overwhelming arctic chill that loitered. My head ached and my hand moved to my forehead to wipe the beads of perspiration that tarried.I wasn’t aware that someone had rushed into my large bedroom to be at my side. My thoughts were jumbled. I could not tell whether I was alive and in the pitch darkness of my bedroom or had I died and crossed into the gloomy blackness of death.I blinked a few times before being certain that this was real.“Valen!” Her forehead pressed on mine and warmth embraced m

He squirmed on the floor, resisting her magic. Marlena persisted by creating a green pentagram beneath him. Each green point released a shackle of neon chains that tethered him.“Grrrrrroik!” He shrieked as Marlena’s superior magic bore into his skin."Alpha, this man is a barakian kripling," Marlena whispered after her discovery.A barakian kripling is a warlock who was brought back from the hollows of hell after already dying by a necromancer, which signified that he had a master.

    -VANCE’S POV-Looking up from the laptop with concern, I found Sianna sultrily shimmying out of her dress. My lips parted to the slightest bit and my cock hardened. Our wanton eyes clashed. She raised a brow at me and sashayed her sexy body towards me.The conference was still going on and I couldn’t let them see her in that incredibly salacious lingerie, but I couldn’t take my heated eyes off her.“I came to join the meeting.” She teased in such a sexy way that made a growl slip from me.The soft lines of her hips and thighs had my cock stiffening in my pants. Her hips swayed in that sheer lingerie set in black lace with a crotchless G-string. The rosy nipples of her round breasts peeked through the matching bralette and a choker adorned her neck.The culmination of all my impulses was the need to latch onto those nipples with my lips, suck on them, and bite them down until she released that startled, demanding moan. My cock desired mainly one thing.Her.My addiction. I need to touc

    -SIANNA’S POV-“Can we go home now,” Venus hoarsely pleaded with harlequin eyes, sitting up in the hospital bed of the bright sun-filled room. “I could eat some burgers, fries, and a coke.” Her gaze flickered from me to her Dad. “I’m starving.”Miriam, Marlena, Vance, Hailey, Mom, and I laughed as she said that. A sigh of relief left me as I looked at my daughter who was back to her old self after receiving the antidote. A lot of love flowed through the room.It’s been two weeks since she has been comatose. Can you imagine how thrilled I was when my mate told me about the antidote to get all of the kripling’s blood out of her system? We arranged everything for the next day.Just the sight of my daughter was enough to clog my throat with tears. Mom’s slender hand was warmly in mine as Marlena and Miriam helped Venus awaken from her coma. Vance held my shoulders, standing behind me.

    -VANCE’S POV-A thin smile curled my lips to see him being the usual hot-blooded Gamma that he was. Instead of thinking of himself, Blayne was coercing me into another battle. Contrarily, I preferred to fix the rift between me and my Luna. There was no anger or burning sensation in the link of the mate bond, but it did not mean that she was not still upset with me.“No.” I finally answered him. “We killed their king and generals. The Supernatural Triad Council’s gatekeepers are searching for Squiggles.” I deciphered. “The werelions will be humbled by their loss and the drastic reduction in their population. It will take years before they wage war against us. It is at that time that my generation will eliminate them.”“All planned out, huh?” Blayne scowled with disappointment. Even with his limp, he managed to keep up with me.“Yep.” I dictated as we made it to the top and sniffed the air. My eyes narrowed slightly as my face wrinkled up. “You smell cheesy, Blayne.

    -VANCE’S POV-Approximately one hundred of our warriors lined the gray plateau at the summit of the cliff, southwest of the territory. Awe-inspiring scenery can be seen here thanks to the panoramic view of the horizon and the thundering waterfall to the right which plummets directly into the ocean.Given its natural beauty and the absence of unpleasant recollections of bloodshed, it would be a pity to tarnish the region's unblemished history today.It was the Black Ops Patrol Station at the end of Beacanview Forest that alerted Raj of our visitors. Undoubtedly, he must have gotten the word to Blayne, or maybe Blayne beat it out of him. Either way, he was not supposed to be working.“Oh damn!” I inspected my battered Gamma up and down before we went down the granite cliffside trail. “You look worse than Freddy Krueger.”My heart went out to him and, oh boy, I was thrilled that he was alive. Although, he was disobeying my orders.Blayne was in black gym shorts with his blistered top shi

The paper was previously brought in by Zuzu and she flew away to have her morning flight in the forest.“The investigation update was posted on the front page. Turns out that the kriplings only attacked us. The vampires and witches were not attacked.” Venus highlighted with her harlequin-green eyes fastened to the paper.“Who cares? Dad’s dealing with it.” Vaheed shrugged, finding his phone more entertaining.Venus was disturbed by his uncaring attitude. “Those things were pretty powerful and they hurt me. How can you say that?”Understanding that his words hurt his twin sister’s feelings, Vaheed put his phone on the table and patted her on the shoulder. “Vee, you are safe now. Dad will make sure that they don’t hurt us again.”Venus sighed, gulped down her dose of halo-moon serum from the vial on the table, and went back to flipping th

He did not let me lash out at him for his recklessness.Automatically, I placed my hand over my heart. My entire body slumped in relief as I exhaled heavily. Still, he was going to get the hot seat.I sat in the living room on the long U-shape black leather couch with my head turned in his direction. “Valen, I can’t accept that apology until you explain to me what the hell was going through your head.”Vance stood by the Faux Marble White console table with a gold base, allowing me to handle our son's latest escapade. He would also feel the scourge of my tongue later.It was a little before sunset that Vance and the team went back to the aircraft carrier ship. The journey to Dark Wolverson was long from Oscianever Loch of the Pacific Ocean and so it was the next day in the afternoon when they arrived home.

    -VANCE’S POV-My razor-sharp teeth flashed through the cold smile that I sent to Assad when Raj kneed Tygart into his crotch. Tygart’s eyes went as round as saucers as he dropped his knife, protectively clutched both hands before his family jewels, and fell to his knees. He was as vulnerable as a newly hatched chick coming out of its shell.In a rapid dash, Raj picked up the weapon and slit his neck. Tygart fell on his side and clutched his blood-leaking throat as his life slipped away right before his king and brother.Assad wrestled like crazy to be freed from my grip to no avail. He was powerless and helpless. The defeat eliminated any spark in his orange eyes. “We surrender,” his voice was a hoarse croak.“It doesn’t work like that, trog.” I gritted to Assad as fury rose, burning through my veins.In the meantime, muscles bulged in Kodjo's pallid neck as he ground his teeth in frustration, refusing to relent. As the tenuous seconds ticked by, his breathing labored during the kickb

He shook his large white head, flashing out his tongue at the distaste of the creature.Nyx set afire the dead kripling that burns into cinders. One down. Two to go. Next, Zuzu, materialized on the deck with the necromancer in one claw and a flailing Assad in the other."Tell her to take them to the shoreline of the first island," I told Valen, and he directed his guardians to do so.With that, all the jets altered their destination to Holmeva Ferney Islands. We found a clearing and managed to land.Alongside five elite warriors, Duke, Raj, Marlena, Valen, Devin and I trotted through a scanty area of bayberry and beach plum trees to the beach.
