********************Nero POV***************
After stepping on the brake pedal, I pushed the driver's door open and rushed out of the car.
Then I headed over to the back door, opened it, and then reached into the backseat for Blake. When my hand touched her skin, my eyes widened with panic glowing in them because she was burning up.
Once I had lifted Blake from the car seat, I tightened my grip on her arms and legs before racing with her into my house.
A few minutes later, I got into my room with Blake and carried her to the bed, resting her on the mattress.
Her clothes were messy with bloodstains, and I noticed that she was in a lot of pain from the look of distress on her face.
But there was nothing that I could do for her since she begged me when I was carrying her out of the class not to take her home or to the hospital.
So here I was with a student of mine in my bedroom, on my mistress, and taking such a bold risk for someone who I shouldn't be messing with at such a critical time.
An intense growl suddenly echoed from outside of my room, and picking up Jason's scent, I headed out the door and opened it before walking to my closet.
“You shifted,” I mumbled, looking back at a gray wolf entering my room.
Then I screwed my face into a frown as Jason started shifting into a human while he growled out the pain of the transformation.
A moment later, I was staring at his bare body, and I sighed out my frustration before tossing a shirt and pants to him.
“I smelled blood and thought something happened to you,” Jason replied, sounding a bit angry as he got dressed.
“Why would you think that? Don't you know my scent?" I mumbled, slamming my closet close.
“I know. But I'm trying to adjust to this new territory! You know how dangerous it is for us to be here of all places. But you suddenly made us pack up and come anyway!"
“I told you to stay back with the pack!"
Even though I felt bad for deceiving Jason, I know if he knew the truth about why I decided to move here, he will bug me to stop and go back home.
That's why, for now, all he knows is that I needed a fresh start, away from running the companies and taking care of the pack, but mostly for me to get away from all the bloodshed.
“You are so unbelievable. What beta would I be if I abandon my alpha?!" Jason argued.
"Then stop complaining about the move!" I told him.
It fell silent between us for a moment. Then Jason asked, “Why does your room smell of blood?”
“Because of her?” I replied, staring at the sweat dripping down Blake's face and how tightly her tender fingers had grabbed onto my sheets.
After looking at Blake for a moment, Jason glared back at me and asked with a frown, “Who is she?”
"Well…"
"Nero, who is she!"
For a moment, I kept silent, knowing that he wasn't going to like my next words. Then I faced him and said, "Loki Hayes's daughter!"
"Nero, please tell me you didn't just bring home the alpha of the Dark moonlight pack into your home!" Jason firmly uttered, looking at me in disbelief.
"Okay, I won't tell you then."
"Nero! Why would you help a girl like her when you clearly kno…"
Frowning, my eyes grew cold as I firmly said, "Watch your tongue, Jason! I'm your Alpha first and your friend last.”
“Sorry, alpha. But I don't think you should be messing with Loki's daughter, especially if you want that fresh start that you came here for.” Jason said, coldly eyeing Blake.
" I know. But something happened in the classroom, and for some reason, I couldn't resist helping her."
"What happened?"
"S-he, sh..ee…"
There was a brief pause, and then I sighed, taking a long look at Blake before mumbling, "Nothing,"
"Nero," Jason mumbled with a touch of concern in his eyes.
"As you can see, I'm fine so you can leave now."
"Okay,"
When my beta turned to walk away, I looked at his back and said, "Jason, once you leave the house tonight, don't return until tomorrow."
For a while, Jason hesitated before walking to the door. Then he stared at Blake for a moment and left the room, quietly closing the door behind him.
It was just me and her in the room again, and even though I didn't know what to expect, I knew that Blake was not like us.
I have heard that Loki has a hybrid who's wolfless. But I know what I saw in that class, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. Blake could be a lot of things. But being wolfless is not a part of it.
When Blake suddenly let out a moan, I walked over to the bed and sat beside her, watching her heal just like any other werewolf out there, even more, faster than them.
Within a couple of seconds, her face was without a wound or scar, and I felt nothing short of amazed by that.
After watching Blake for a while, I felt thirsty, so I stood to leave, but I suddenly felt a hand grab onto my wrist, so I stopped and gazed down at her.
“Mr. Fang," Blake mumbled, slowly raising her lashes.
"What is it?" I asked, even though I could tell from her wet eyes and the needy look on her face what she wanted.
"I am hot,"
"I know."
It wasn't strange to me that she would say those words because she had all the signs of an omega about to go in heat. It was no wonder she slept through my entire class. It must have been the effect of the preheat.
"My body feels weird," Blake moaned as her hand tightened around my waist.
Realizing that her irises had shifted into a hazel color of red and yellow as they did back in the classroom, I felt a bit uneasy.
In that instant, Blake began releasing two opposite pheromones, and it was exactly like the scent that I picked up from her back in the classroom.
In less than a minute, my room became full of Blake's pheromones, and even though I was striving to restrain my wolf from reacting to her scent, her pheromones were rising and becoming powerful by the second.
She was making me lose control of my wolf slowly. After a couple of minutes had passed, I suddenly realized that another aroma was mixed with hers and that it was mine. My scent wasn't masked anymore.
"There's a good smell...coming from you, professor Fang," Blake moaned out, fastening her grip on my hand as I tried to pull away from her.
"I'm not your alpha, Blake! You need to let go of my wrist because I'm going to lose myself within a matter of seconds if I stay here, and it wouldn't be good for either of us.” I mumbled, pulling her fingers off my hand.
But Blake immediately grabbed my other wrist and softly sobbed, “Help me please!"
Although she was in her first omega heat, yet, she was releasing alpha pheromones too and was making it tricky to resist her.
Before I could realize what was going on, Blake suddenly yanked me down to the bed, pinpointing me against the mattress and lacking both my wrists in her grips.
Then she leaned toward my neck and bit into it before slowly licking against my neck, causing me to growl out loud.
Her tongue against my skin felt ticklish, and I strived not to react to the excitement I felt from that.
"Wait, Blake! Get off me!" I mumbled, feeling a bit dizzy from her bite.
"But your scent is so addictive, and you taste so delicious. I don't think I can stop." Blake mumbled, staring at me.
Gazing into her eyes, I realized that I wanted this, I wanted her, and I didn't know if I could restrain myself anymore.
'Just what is this?' I thought as I stared into her eyes.
Resting her palms flat against my chest, Blake looked at me and mumbled, "Mr. Fang, why ain't you doing anything, and just looking at me. Don't you want to touch me too?" "Hey," I uttered, frowning at her. "What do you think you are doing now!" "Huh," "Trying to dare me, uh?" Noticing the look of confusion in her ignorant eyes, I drew upward towards her face and said, "I have never felt this way before, especially to a woman because it shouldn't be possible. What did you do to me?" "What? Huh?" Nothing happened for a moment as I lay still, staring at her while she pouted at me.
*****************Luna POV****************** This mansion has never been so irksome and loud as it is tonight, and it is all because of my bastard sister. Since she decided to run away from school, my father has been acting up and having everyone's heart up in their ass. From the day I could remember, I never liked her. But now, I despise her even more and I don't care if she never returns home. That way, she would be doing all of us a favor. I mean, what's the use of having a useless sister who can't even transform like everyone else, even though her faults do me more good than harm. It grew silent for a moment. Then my father robust tone suddenly
*****************Blake POV****************** When the light of dawn shone on my face, I kept staring at the window, annoyed that it was morning already and I haven't fallen asleep like I wanted to do. Suddenly the echo of a soft knock drew my attention towards the doorway. “Come in,” I mumbled, focusing back on the window. A few seconds later, Nero walked into the room, gazed at me, and said, “Come downstairs to eat. I made breakfast.” After waiting for a few seconds, I threw the bedspread off me and got out of bed. Then I stopped in front
After walking over to the back of the class, I put threw my bag on the desk, sat down, and relaxed in the seat. Suddenly a frown surfaced on my face as I stared at Nero walking into the classroom. At that moment, my gaze rested on Karen as she sat in the seat beside me, and anger spiked inside of me while I clutched my fist. Suddenly, Karen turned around, gazed at me, and cheerfully said, "Good morning, Blake." “Have you lost your sense of shame, talking to me after what you did?” I harshly uttered, glaring at her. A pitiful look settled on Karen's face as she pouted and said, "Someone is moody thi
As I stared at Blake, I could tell that she was holding in her breath and fighting back her tears while she gazed back at me. But I said nothing as I kept gazing at her wet eyes, bruised lip, and bloodstained nose. Even if I wanted to, I didn't know what to say to her at such a moment. So I dragged my gaze off her and coldly uttered, "Blake, I think you and your father have disrupted my class enough, so maybe you should take a seat, or get out!" Feeling her eyes on me, I turned around, and the moment our eyes locked, I paused for a moment and then said, "Did you hear m..." "I did," Blake mumbled beneath her breath with her ga
******************Luna Pov*********** Avoiding the sunlight, I rolled over in bed, and kicked the blanket off me, pissed over the fact that Alaska suddenly ruined breakfast this morning to inform my father that he got news about Blake. Immediately, dad abandoned his food and left the dining hall like that bitch was worth something to him. Since he left the villa with Alaska, we haven't gotten any news yet, and it felt a bit odd since a couple of hours had passed already and he should have been back with his bastard by now. A sudden loud knock on my room door forced me to open my eyes, and I swear whoever was at the door, woke up and chose not to live another day because a second later, I heard, "Bang! Bang!" Enraged, I sat up, resting my back against the headboard as I turned my head to stare at the door. "Who is it?" I shouted, feeling hesitant to leave the bed. "It's me, James. Milady, Our Luna requested your presence in
*********************Blake POV*************Noticing the supermarket from a distance, I busily tapped Nero on his shoulder and shouted, "Can you stop at 'Greenland?!""No!" Nero shouted back, glaring at me for a second as though he was annoyed that I was distracting him from focusing on driving."Please!!""Why?"Saying the reason out loud in my head sounded a bit embarrassing. So I chewed on my bottom lip, darted my eyes away from him, and then mumbled, "Forget it,"Sighing, Nero suddenly made a U-turn and drove into the parking lot of the supermarket.Then he stepped on the brake before looking at me and blurting out, "Are you in need of Sanitary pads or something!?"Even though I wanted to chuckle, I suppressed my laugh and didn't look at him because from his voice I could tell that he was upset with me."No, that is not what I need," I mumbled, screwing my face into a frown. "You k
***************Nero Pov************As I walked past the living room, I screwed my face into a frown when Jason suddenly sped from behind me, crossed in front of me, and stepped in my way."You should go upstairs and freshen up. I will take these to the kitchen! Seriously! What the hell happened last night to get you two acting like mates?" Jason lashed out, frowning as I walked past him with the bags.But he kept walking behind me until we got into the kitchen and stopped in the doorway."Did you mark her?!" Jason blurted out. "Or did you fuc…"Frustrated, I sluggishly dropped the bags on the counter, turned around to stare at my beta, and said, "No, Jason, I didn't mark her, neither did I mate with her. She simply needs a place to stay for two weeks…""Two weeks! You are allowing Hayes's daughter to stay here for two weeks! What is wrong with you!" Jaso
As I descended the stairs, the smell of fresh coffee greeted me. Jason was in the kitchen, pouring a cup for himself. He looked up as I entered, a warm smile on his face."Morning," he said, his voice gentle. "I made coffee.""Thank you," I replied, taking the cup he offered. The warmth of it seeped into my hands, a small comfort. "I appreciate it."We stood in companionable silence for a moment, sipping our coffee. The morning light filled the kitchen, creating a peaceful atmosphere that contrasted sharply with the frenzy inside me."Blake," Jason began, his voice hesitant. "I know I keep pushing this but you have been restless since yesterday... I can feel it without you telling me... every second, every time you block me out of your head, you can't stop me from feeling what your heart is going through. Are you sure you're okay? I mean, okay?"I met his gaze, the concern in his eyes evident. I wanted to reassure him, to tell him that everything was fine, but I couldn't bring myself
Blake's POVI woke to the pale light of dawn streaming through my curtains, casting a soft glow on my bedroom walls. I stretched, feeling the comfort of my warm bed cocooning me, reluctant to break free from its embrace. As I sat up, a sharp knock echoed through the quiet room, pulling me from my sleepy haze."Blake? Are you awake?" Jason's voice, laced with urgency, came from the other side of the door.I threw back the covers and reached for my robe, slipping it on hurriedly as I padded across the room. My heart pounded a little faster. Why was he here so early? I opened the door to find Jason standing there, his expression a mix of concern and frustration."Jason? What's wrong?" I asked, tightening the belt of my robe.He ran a hand through his disheveled hair, a sign that he'd been restless. "Blake, you've been blocking your mindlink from me. I can't hear your thoughts, and it's driving me insane. I can tell something's troubling you."I hesitated, looking away. "I don't know what
Nero's PovThe terminal's buzz of activity faded as we stepped out into the brisk evening air. My business partners, Victor and Raymond, chatted animatedly beside me, discussing the upcoming meeting at the resort. I nodded along, only half-listening. My mind was elsewhere, stuck on the strange encounter with the boy named Nicholas.We piled into a sleek black SUV waiting at the curb, and I slid into the back seat, the leather cool against my skin. Victor took the front passenger seat, continuing his conversation with Raymond, who was driving. They were both seasoned businessmen, used to these trips and the high-stakes negotiations that accompanied them. I should have been focused, mentally preparing for the discussions ahead, but I couldn't shake the feeling of familiarity that had struck me when Nicholas had looked up at me with those wide eyes.As we drove towards the resort, the cityscape gave way to more serene surroundings. I stared out the window, trying to piece together why
Blake's POVI stepped off the plane, the cool air of the terminal a welcome contrast to the stifling cabin. Nicholas's small hand gripped mine tightly, his eyes wide with excitement and curiosity. We maneuvered through the crowd, making our way to the immigration counters.The lady behind the counter looked up as we approached, her eyes scanning my passport. “Bella Greene?” she called, her voice smooth and practiced. “Yes,” I replied, my heart racing slightly. The name had become second nature, a part of the disguise I had maintained for years.The woman smiled warmly and then glanced down at Nicholas. “And who is this handsome little fellow?”“This is my son, Nicholas,” I said, returning her smile.She leaned forward slightly, her gaze softening. “How old are you, young man?”Nicholas beamed up at her, his pride unmistakable. “I’m eight.”The lady chuckled, handing back our documents. “Well, you have a very charming boy, Bella. Enjoy your stay.”“Thank you,” I said, taking the passp
Every fiber of my being screamed in agony as I reached out through the mindlink, desperately trying to connect with Blake. But she wasn't there. The connection was broken, severed by some unseen force, leaving me stranded in a sea of darkness, alone."Blake?" I whispered, my voice trembling with fear and desperation. But there was no response, only the echoing silence of my own mind.My wolf paced restlessly within me, its primal instincts urging me to break free from the chains that bound me, to unleash its fury upon the world. I fought against it, struggling to maintain control, but the bonds that held me were slipping, fraying with each passing moment."Nero, snap out of it!" Scarlet's voice cut through the haze of my thoughts, her words laced with urgency and concern. "You'll get yourself killed!"But I couldn't heed her warning. All I could think about was Blake. I had to find her, no matter the cost."I have to get to her," I muttered, my voice hoarse with emotion. "I have to fi
Blake POVMy body felt cold as I stood naked in front of Jason, opening the mind link between Nero and me. I felt his pain, and it was time for him to feel mine.Jason's jaws clutched, and I could see that he was fighting to restrain himself, but his wolf had always wanted me. Now that I was standing vulnerably before him, bare, his eyes darkened, his gaze burning with a mixture of desire and conflict. I could sense the tension radiating off him as he struggled to maintain control over his instincts. With the mind link open, Nero's anguish surged through me, his voice echoing in my head, "Blake, the guard took Jason away. What are you going to do with him?""Can't you feel it in my body, Nero... I am breaking our bond." I hissed back, the pain was so intense... I could hardly breathe. I could feel his fear, his anxiety, his fear of coursing through my veins."Jason... You and Jason... Blade, kill me before you do this. Blake..." Nero groaned in my head. "Please, just end me now. Don'
Jason's POVI was startled awake by the sudden commotion, the clanging of metal against metal echoing through the dimly lit cell. The guards burst in, their faces hidden behind stern masks, their intentions unclear. My heart pounded in my chest as they approached, their eyes cold and unyielding."What's going on?" Scarlett's voice trembled beside me, her hand reaching out in confusion. "Where are you taking him? Where's Blake?"Nero's voice joined hers, his tone sharp with concern. "Answer us! Where are you taking Jason?"But the guards remained silent, their grip firm as they yanked me off the chains that bound me. I stumbled, my legs weak from hours of confinement. Fear gnawed at my insides as I was forced out of the dungeon, the darkness of the cell giving way to the flickering torchlight of the corridor."Please," I pleaded, my voice hoarse. "Tell me what's happening. Where are you taking me?"But my words fell on deaf ears as the guards dragged me further away from Scarlett and N
As my grandfather's question hung in the air, I couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt creeping into my mind. What proof did Scarlett have? Could I trust her account of that fateful night? After all, my entire worldview had been shattered once already today."I... I don't know, Grandpa," I confessed, my voice barely above a whisper. "But something just feels off about all of this. I can't explain it, but I can't shake the feeling that there's more to the story than what we've been told."My grandfather nodded solemnly, his expression mirroring my uncertainty. "Trust your instincts, Blake. They will guide our family for generations after I am gone. So remember, as the next leader of our pack, you cannot afford to trust easily. There are those who would seek to deceive and manipulate you for their own gain."His words struck a chord within me. Was I truly ready to take on the responsibility of leading our pack, especially in the midst of such turmoil and uncertainty? Did I even want th
I stormed through the dimly lit corridors of the mansion, my mind a tumultuous storm of conflicting emotions. Each step I took echoed through the empty halls, a stark contrast to the chaos raging inside me. As I reached Loki's cell, I could hear the faint sound of chains rattling, and I scowled.Pushing open the heavy door, I was met with the sight of Loki, chained up in the corner of the room, bruises marring his once proud features. His eyes widened in fear and desperation as he caught sight of me, and he lunged forward, only to be yanked back by the chains that bound him."Blake, please, spare me," he pleaded, his voice raw with desperation. "I... I'm your father. I didn't mean for any of this to happen.""Okay," I said blankly. I didn't feel like hearing his pathetic apology. After everything that had been done to me over the years... what right did I have to pity him or offer even a tiny shred of care to anyone? Even to myself. And certainly not to him. Not after everything. Lok
