MONDAY MORNINGAsher gathered all the information about Jenny and her family nursing Octavio’s hunger. He informed neither Jenny’s family nor Jenny had ever encountered the information of werewolf existence. She was a tech nerd who liked to tap on dark pages to get knowledge, which dragged their focus onto her. But Octavio couldn’t sleep as the churning thoughts questioned him constantly. If none of them were werewolves, where did they get the paramour symbol? The thirst to find the paramour ignited more than ever. “Did you search her house?” Octavio commanded Asher.“Yes, we did. And nothing comes out.” “What about Mark and Sheila?”“Well, it was hard, but I let our men enter their house disguised as pest control people,” Asher added, holding the mark printout in his hand.Octavio drove towards the university, and none of this made sense to him.“We found nothing except the fact they are wolves.”Octavio bit his tongue as his eyes landed on the crowd of youngsters chirping and enjo
Amor was sitting in the office contemplating the thoughts of this new unseen enemy. Till now, he fought big, bad wolves and trained to smash their head, but this new enemy was not what he expected it to be.When a wolf knows his enemy, they know when and where to attack his weak point, but when there is an unknown enemy, a wolf can only read the danger sign left by him.Amor visited where Octavio’s man slaughtered the entire pack and left no she-wolves. From the sight in front of his eyes, he could understand that death danced well before taking those poor souls with it.With the elders of his pack coming together, they summoned every pack member and alerted them of this unpleasant news. These mountains were their home, and from now, every wolf needed to turn into this territory where other members could protect them.Precautions are better than cures. But something still suffocated Amor’s mind. The enemy was here, and he couldn’t find him. His beta Jasper and Shabi entered the room,
The window howled viciously with the breezy December air when Amor slid the glass to show himself at the campus guard. The guard greeted Amor and let him enter the metallic door of the University campus. The thunder barraged through the sky, revealing the dark, haunted mountain- secrets. Amor kept his senses vigilant to grab a single clue to hunt his enemy down. These mountains are his home, his territory, and he would allow no outsider to come and display his claim. It was late evening, and most of the students were already in their rooms except a few who strolled in this chilly weather. He checked his wrist’s perimeter and glanced at the two-pointers. It was already ten. The weather seems courageous enough to stop him from going to her dorm, but he looks firm enough to crash all the attempts to stop him. What’s so special about this girl, he asked himself, and a smile tugged up on his lips, thinking, not just her beauty but her brain. She seems like a delicate flower where every b
Inquisitor Amor strolled back to his vehicle; something was off. Either she hid something or didn’t realize some unexpected things trawled her. He fished out his phone and pulled out Jasper’s number to dial. His eyes landed on the door of his car, where a claw mark was waiting for him to get confirmation of someone’s presence.His jaw clenched in reflex, and finger pads caressed the metallic peels.“Hello, Amor.” Jasper jeered.“Somebody is here,” Amor replied in a lower tone.“What? Where are you?”“I think he is keeping a close eye on her,” Amor replied calmly, but the air brought a pungent smell, pulling his senses in that direction. “I will call you back.” He threw the phone on the front seat and looked around to see if someone was watching him. He was the man who worked on his instincts, and these continued alarming his senses, wanting him desperately to look into the folds of woods and find the one.He spun close to the bushes, took off his clothes in a blink of an eye, and fol
Savannah’s lips stuttered. It was not a dream.He was real. But how come he was sleeping in her bed, penalizing her by sucking her lips like this?“Come here,” his dominant voice, letting her remind she has no power now. It’s just the mercy she could ask from her tormentor.“Are you going to hurt me?” Leaning close to his chest, she pulsated her sobs.“Yes,”“What did I do wrong?” His musky, earthy scent filled her nostrils.“You allowed someone to touch you. You shouldn’t have done that.” She gazed at his silhouette, only to see a pair of blue eyes lighting in the dark.“No one touched me.” She jeered.“Yes, he did. He kissed your cheeks.” How come he knows Amor pecked her cheeks? Is he really a ghost who lives in her room?What should she do to inform him it was not her fault, and when did she become his property? She needs to take a stand and make him feel she is not a property; she has an individual identity and has the same freedom as other girls to choose whom she would want to
The morning shuddered through the sheer curtains, entering from the patio slider and knocking at Savannah’s peer. Her heavy, lush lashes struggled to open, but her senses were activated once adjusted by the morning light and a voice coming from the other side of the door.“Savi,” Jenny’s voice came from the other side.“Coming,” she forced herself out of bed, making her way towards the door.“Are you ok? Don’t you have lectures to attend?” Jenny jeered, looking at her exhausted features, reading the situation’s urgency.“I am leaving,” Jenny patted her shoulder, leaving Savannah to head back to her bed. The door latched, and the silence crippled, letting Savannah feel why she was feeling so exhausted.The glimpses of yesterday’s night were hazy like before, but she had more proof to seek the truth. She immediately hopped out and dropped the bathrobe she was sleeping in and watched herself in the mirror. Her eyes widened with shock when the unknown marks peppered her body, screaming th
As the uber proceeded to the destination, an eerie feeling crippled Savannah’s senses. Those haunting thoughts of getting to know the truth behind this havoc didn’t leave her for a moment. Those pills and Sheila’s nervousness boomed inside her again whenever she wanted to talk about the fact. Everything was shady, and she needed to find the truth to clear her mind. Not more than her spooky thoughts left her mind. The heavy rain marched her way.“Storm is coming.” The driver suggested, looking down at the map. If she were stuck here, what would happen? What if she doesn’t get a ride back home?“How much time?” She murmured, scanning the perimeter of her wrist. It was nine already, and according to her unsaid rules, she was supposed to stay at her dorm, not roam downtown to meet an unknown stranger.“Five more minutes. Are you sure you want to go here?” Not just the weather and the thoughts, but even the next human being is spooking her from every pore.“Why? Is there any problem?”“No,
The silence of the night brought a piece of unknown weary news for everyone. Savannah ran after to know the truth, but before she could set herself free from the chaotic mess, she saw something horrific that shook her core.Octavio was eager to know what he would discover in search of a paramour bloodline. Watching her unconscious body in his arms, begging for help, alerted somebody was there. After speaking with Asher, he finds out a wolf killed the witch.The moment Octavio thought he would solve this mystery, a new puzzle piece popped up. Why did Savannah come here? Who killed the witch?And what is a rogue doing here?He rested Savannah’s unconscious body in the back seat and thought to have further word again with Asher, only to find out he was coming his way, holding the neck of the rogue in his hand.“Show off,” Octavio blurted, glancing at the wolf's head he was holding in his right claw. Asher smirked, throwing the lead into the drain.“The witch wanted to inform Savanah abou
The morning knocked through the sheer curtain and landed on his face. It was beautiful indeed. The peace was floating in the air, and he smiled, looking close to the dainty frame sleeping next to him.He carefully caressed her cheeks with his knuckles and smiled, thinking just a hint of alcohol brought the child out of her.His eyes landed on a mole on her neck, and an urge to suck it floated in his mind. He leaned and peppered kisses on her jawline and down her neck. Her presence made him hard, and to his surprise, she turned towards him, trailing her hands on his body.“Savannah,” he muttered against her war skin. His lips coasted over her cleavage, and his eyes knew she was pretending to be asleep.“I know you are awake” he bit her gently over her perked nipples. She moaned, chewing her lower lip, and cupped his face.His face hovered on hers, and he leaned down to give her a sensational kiss. He bit her lower lip, and his dominating tongue entered her mouth, her perked nipples gra
Savannah thought she had changed Octavio’s heart, and maybe once she could meet her aunt and let her know she needed those pills and if someone could help her escape him. But little did she know Octavio had planned everything not to let Sheila seek help from Amor. Asher and his man found out; she and her husband have registered themselves in Amor’s pack.A meeting with Sheila would be a risk to him and his pack, but he needed to save Savannah. When Savannah was unconscious, he instructed Asher to send a message to Sheila and Mark to meet them at the mall. Sheila received a mail in her mailbox, sending her the exact location where she needed to see Savannah. Her heart cringed, and the prayers she released seemed to work out when she read that mail.She informed Mark, and lately, they were still debating whether to tell Amor about it.But watching Amor’s intentions and how he was folding every stone in search of Savannah didn’t allow them to hide this news. They hastily drove towards Am
The seconds of watching Savannah turned into hours.Her body turned blue, and the venom of this time was enough to take her soul out. He was burning in rage and wanted to chop off Dorris and her brother’s heads, but Asher didn’t allow him to leave Savannah.Asher knew she was the one who was keeping him grounded. His wild wolf howled for blood and hunt.“Brother, she saved him. Please respect her choice and spare his life.” Asher suggested.“Shut your fucking mouth. Savannah didn’t want to save his life. She tried to make me feel terrible.” The pain of rejection from her surfaced.He went out for a run; another moment here, he might rip someone off.Savannah, under the observation of doctors and seniors, is waiting to get revived. Some loved her courage, and some hated her for curing the monster. But Leia was sitting next to her, holding her hand.She knew how badly Savannah wanted to get away from this place and miss her family. Leia came out and busted in tears.“Leia, are you okay?
In this heartache, the sun won’t shine, and the tweeting of the birds will not soothe your soul. It was blank inside her heart. Heartbreak was evidence that she loved in good faith and made the bond that hurts so very she shut down herself.Octavio never saw her like this. She doesn’t talk, smile, or even let him know she is living in the same room.It’s been three days, and the encounter he showed her ached her heart.There was a time when she wanted to feel like a woman, the feeling of getting touched by a man, but now it was taken completely.Octavio horrified her.Octavio entered the room and looked at her; she was looking outside the window, gawking at the moon, hoping nothing.There was a time when his presence used to make her wet; the hair on her back used to feel him close, and now he was standing so close to her, and she felt nothing.His heart aches.“Savannah,” he muttered, resting his chin on her shoulder.She turned and faced him blankly. He had lost the spark in her haz
Octavio came out after taking a quick shower. He had been busy training his warriors for upcoming challenges. Asher didn’t let him down for Amor. He was keeping a close eye on all of his activities. Elena’s confrontation was a big breakthrough on his way to finding out about them, but Octavio was smart enough not to tell her about his pack’s location. Amor was still unaware of their location but tried his best to get on his nerves.Octavio sent a few of his men to look into the woods and trace the man who attacked Savannah.He came out, wrapping his towel around his low waist, and looked for Savannah. She was busy arranging her stuff and wearing one of her dresses.“Why did you change your dress? Didn’t I tell you I want to see you in my clothes?” He teased her.In anger, she turned to see him; he was roaming naked in front of her now and then. Her eye caught his length again, and this time she turned immediately and heaved a low breath.“Why are you not wearing clothes?”“It’s hot.”
The evening arrived, and things were getting worse than ever. Before this, she could roam around, talk to other ladies, and be with Leia. But now, Octavio has not allowed her to step outside his room.She was bored and exhausted from crying to escape this place. Her last hope of getting the pills was lost; without them, her wolf would show up this time.She heard a knock.“Who is this?”“Savannah, this is Leia,” a smile came to her face, and she immediately opened her door to welcome her.Leia wrapped her arms around her.“I am sorry. I am sorry I didn’t trust you.”“Are you ok?” She concerned.“Yes,”Savannah welcomed Leia into the room, and they settled on the couch.“So this is alpha’s room,” Savannah rolled her eyes.“How’s your wound?” She pointed at her neck.“I am feeling better. That monster bit me, but I don’t know what happened after that.” Savannah was still trying to figure out how she landed from Dorris’s house to this room.“You had his venom in your body; if not treated
The morning lights sprinkled from the sheer curtains. Octavio’s hand clenched her delicate frame close to his warmth. He absorbed everything from the haunting dreams and the illusion she had seen over the night.Her body temperature cooled a bit, and she was still sleeping like a delicate doll under his protective arms.He had already decided the punishment for the man he was looking for; he would slit his throat and will gift him a slow death to let others know what would happen to the people who dared to cross his path.Octavio opened his eyes and watched Savannah sleeping in his arms, her long hair tousled, covering her face frame. He gently caressed those who were disturbing her beauty sleep. Her hazel eyes were closed, and her petal lips were red. His body rubbed against hers, which reminded him they were naked under the duvet.He had his fair share of women, but since the time he met her, he knew she had something special in her. And that special was she was a werewolf, a beauti
The evening came, and Savannah was exhausted from her work. There was a time she used to enjoy silly things, but now everything seems like a joke. She was waiting for the only thing to get away from this place.She was begging this universe, but since yesterday, she had been feeling threatened more than getting away from this place. Yesterday’s encounter was a life-threatening warning for her, but who wanted to kill her, and why?She refused to enter her room; instead, she headed to meet Dorris. The door jingled with chimes, and Dorris came to check.“Savannah,” Dorris hugged her.“I hope I am not disturbing you,”“No, not at all.”“Did you finish the book?”“No, I couldn’t go through after one chapter.” Savannah heaved a low breath and settled on the couch.“Why? Something wrong? Do you need another book?” Savannah was troubled. She shared it with Leia and Asher, but they thought it was just a prank, but she knew something was not right.“Savannah, are you ok?” Dorris patted her hand
“How are you, Jasper?” Amor visited the hospital. He feels guilty about everything. Jasper lost his senses due to the explosion, but luckily Jasper’s wolf was active enough to heal him on time.“I am better. Did you find something?” Jasper groaned.“I visited Savannah’s dorm to walk through the entire site if I could get something against that Lycan. Turns out the trail leads exactly to teachers’ apartments.” Amor added, settling on the chair.“Then? Any teacher who could be a Lycan?”“Octavio. I have a doubt he is hiding something.”“But we saw he was bleeding, and it didn’t heal.” Jasper curiously looked for more answers.“I know, but something is not right.” Amor sifted his memory back again.“What... are...”Amor’s phone buzzed to break his train of thought. He fished out his phone and answered it.“Yes,”“Alpha, the professor’s name is Elena Valucci.” The man on the call answered, making Amor bite his tongue to waste his time. But he waited for him to finish.“She is a witch.” Th
