Serena's POVThe vehicle finally comes to a stop, directly at the entrance of crescent moon high international high School, bringing my thoughts back to the presence as I divert my focus from the window of the car back to Damon who is still relaxed in his seat, trying to prepare his school amenities before we step inside. I continue to look at him with a lot of desperate questions ringing through my mind but I don't have the nerve to ask any since we have not been so close to getting to that certain level of communication. I just feel so confused and my brain is currently having a hard time to process what I witnessed back at the mansion when he used a split second to get himself ready for school. That is literally the most crazy thing I have ever witnessed in my life because... Good goddess I can't describe it. It was like he was standing there with his house wear on and then I closed my eyes and opened it to see him in his school uniform, already set and prepared with his beaut
Serena's POVThe powerful sensations I feel, that moves through my body at that contact, makes me shiver a little and I don't know how I wrap my arms tightly against his head to gain control of my position on his laps.Okay that took me off guard. I shake my head and struggle to get down from his lap but he is not giving me the chance as he slips his hands into my skirt and begins to squeeze my ass beneath my skirt furiously, sending so many powerful, rippling, sensations down between my legs. "Damon... What are you... doing?"I find myself shivering and whispering his name uncontrollably.he begins to unhook my bra and my eyes go wide with so much craziness. I don't even know how he had managed to take off half of my shirt and half of my bra forcing one of my breasts to pop out without control. He buries his face against it and begins to suck against my nipple, forcing me to arch my back while he squeezes my ass beneath my skirt holding me tightly to himself till I can feel his h
Serena's POV I am desperate for some strange reason unknown to me and I have no fucking power to control it. Damon takes hold of my waist and adjusts himself against me pulling me down to himself and I moan feeling his hard member forcing its way deep into my pussy making me clench tightly against it with a very powerful raw desire that makes it feel as if my brain has been split open. I am panting excessively hard as I cling tightly to him trying to regain my strength from that powerful orgasm I just had with that one strike. Goddess it feels so fucking good and I have no control over it. "Oh my god baby." Damon whispers and quickly takes off my uniform shirt and then he removes my bra leaving me completely naked with only my skirt on. He buries his face against my breasts and sucks on each of my nipples holding me tightly against himself as I begin to move my waist against him with all the craving in my body crying out loud at the powerful sensations I am feeling in my puss
Serena's POVHow the hell wasn't I able to control myself? I mean I have no excuse right now. I wasn't drunk. "I need to go. " I tell him immediately as I quickly move away from him towards my side of the chair and grab my bra and shirt and then my panty. Goddess this is just so fucking embarrassing. I quickly put them on ignoring his stare as he also begins to put on his clothes immediately. "I know you are trying to avoid what happened here but you know it's inevitable right? ""Fuck you. And fuck the day I ever met you. "He looks stunned by my reply but I am not ready to deal with that right now. "If you know what is good for you don't you ever fucking come close to me again. "I look at him as he frowns. He probably wasn't expecting me to say that but then what was he expecting me to say? "That was a very sweet lovely experience baby. can we do this again next time??"Uurghh. I hate him now more than ever for doing this to me. "Serena...""Don't fucking call me. And don'
Serena's POVI scrunch my face as I get to my locker and open it rapidly, tossing some books inside and slamming it immediately with the irritation in my body. I can't understand myself right now and I don't know what is going on. Why the hell am I feeling irked about the thought of it when it's what happened a few minutes ago? Why didn't I feel like this then? When was it so extremely freaking hard to resist when he began to touch me? I remember the feeling of his lips against my nipples and it makes me bite against my bottom lip with frustration. That heavy sensation returns back to my body and I blink my eyelids rapidly. Great, I guess this crazy stupid feeling is inevitable. I should really stop thinking about this. I close my eyes and take a deep breath about to turn around when I suddenly bump into somebody, forcing me to open my eyes quickly to say Cassidy and Luna standing in front of me, giving me questioning looks. "Uhhm. What the hell happened to you Serena? You l
Serena's POVI roll my eyes and keep my attention focused on the book in front of me, trying my best to make sure that Cassidy and Luna are ignoring him just as I am. I am glad they are following my lead as we focus on the books directly in front of us chatting with each other and smiling as though we are not aware of the person that is slowly approaching us. He finally comes to a stop directly in front of me by my table and slams his palm against it, calling my attention. I am forced to jerk back with shock, not quite expecting that impact. I look up at him with anger. "Hey. " I get up from my seat and point at him giving him a cold stare. "You should watch how you walk up to people and attend to them when invading in their personal spaces. "God I feel ashamed talking to him right now. It's so hard to take away the image of the experience between us and his car a few moments ago. Fuck. I avoid his gaze and look at the table in front of me.He looks at me for a brief minute an
Serena's POVI continue to stare at Damon with all the infuriation and anger I can muster, but Luna and Cassidy walk up to me, standing on either side and taking hold of my hands, trying to pacify me."It's okay, Serena. Just ignore him, okay? Pretend he's not even here. You know how he is," Cassidy says as I close my eyes and exhale deeply, picking up my backpack from the ground and dropping it against my chair.It might be incredibly difficult, but it's the only solution I have right now.After all the drama and everything that has transpired in the past few days, culminating in him dropping me off at school, I have an intense headache, struggling to keep up with everything.It's simply overwhelming and too much to handle.I'm not going to let his frustration get to me this time.I'm just going to let it pass me by as if nothing has ever happened.But then I look up to see him still standing in his position, smiling at me, probably gloating over the fact that he's succeeding in rili
Serena's POV“Uhhmm, Serena, you are still in school! Okay, you could still get into detention.” Cassidy stands in my way and tries to pacify me, but I’m not listening to her right now. I shove her aside with all the power in my body, and everyone gasps.Yeah, I guess I might have accidentally slipped and revealed my super strength.“Shit,” Cassidy curses and attempts to stand in front of me again, bracing herself against my hand, but I’m not budging.“Well, I really like what I see. Isn’t that the beautiful, ferocious side of the almighty Serena Blackthorn? This is the classroom, and it’s not a convenient place for us to settle this, so why don’t we just take it outside?”Okay, this time a lot of phones are up, and it kind of increases the anger in my body. I suddenly scream at him, but Luna quickly places her hand over my mouth, sharply pulling me back.“Serena!” she says with a loud whisper in my ears. “Your fangs are out. What the hell are you doing? Control yourself.”For some st
DAMON'S POVI've never been this afraid in my entire immortal life.Not when I first turned and felt my humanity slipping away like sand through desperate fingers. Not during my worst hunts through pitch-black forests with nothing but instinct guiding me. Not even when I fought my way out of a vampire pit at seventeen with nothing but a broken fang and pure, undiluted rage burning through my veins like acid.This—this—is something else entirely. Something that makes my ancient blood run cold.Serena is on her knees in the middle of the ruined living room, surrounded by splintered furniture and shattered glass. Her arms are bent at unnatural, impossible angles behind her, trembling violently like leaves in a hurricane. Her head is thrown back at a painful tilt, her mouth slightly open in a silent scream, and her eyes... gods, her eyes are rolled up so far I only
SERENA'S POVThe pain is indescribable—beyond any human language's capacity to capture its essence.It's not just in my head—it is my head in its entirety. It feels like someone's driving razor-sharp claws straight into the soft tissue of my brain, methodically twisting and shredding every coherent thought, every cherished memory, every fundamental shred of who I am at my core. I can't breathe through the agony. I can't form a single rational thought.I can barely maintain a sense that I exist at all.Isabella watches me with predatory intensity, her expression twisted into a sick, delighted smile that reveals too many teeth. Her glowing crimson eyes drink in my excruciating pain like it's an exquisite feast prepared solely for her consumption. There's unmistakable hunger there. Desperate, primal need. Something infinitely deeper and more disturbing
SERENA'S POVThe air turns heavier with every breath I take. It doesn't just press on my chest—it crushes it with the weight of impending doom. Like trying to breathe through viscous tar. Thick. Suffocating. Oppressive. Every labored inhale feels like it might be the last, my lungs straining against an invisible force that seeks to silence me forever.I see it in the others too—the unmistakable strain, the slow, painful unraveling of their strength. Damon's broad shoulders sag visibly, his normally perfect stance losing the military precision that usually defines him. His once-fluid movements grow increasingly sluggish, as if he's fighting through waist-deep water, each strike requiring double the effort. Cassidy stumbles mid-swipe, her dancer's grace momentarily abandoning her as she barely dodges a vampire's yellowed claw that slices the air mere inches from her flushed face. A fraction slower and her fles
SERENA'S POV The fear around me isn’t just thick—it’s suffocating, pressing into my chest with invisible hands, making it hard to breathe. It’s not panic. It’s worse. It’s the knowing kind—the kind that seeps into your bones when your body realizes you might not survive.Vampires pour into the room like a flood let loose. Their eyes burn with frenzy, fangs gleam wet with blood, and every last one of them is locked on me. I can feel their hunger like heat against my skin. My breath catches in my throat, shallow and useless. My legs refuse to move. Every muscle in my body screams to run, to fight, to do something—but I can’t even figure out where to go. There’s nowhere safe. No space left.“Hold the line!” Damon’s voice slices through the chaos like thunder cracking the sky.And then—just like that—they’re around me.Damon, Cassidy, Luna, Brooke, Ryan, Brian—they close ranks with the kind of coordination that only comes from shared survival. It’s instinctual. Protective. Fierce. They d
SERENA'S POVThe moment Brian and Cassidy step into the living room from their hiding place, I see it in their eyes. That shimmer of gold, pulsing beneath the surface like molten metal struggling to break free, tells me everything I need to know. It's their werewolf instincts kicking in—heightened senses, sharpened awareness, primal intuition thrumming beneath human skin. We were not the only ones who felt it. That oppressive pressure in the air, like the sky itself dropped a few feet lower, crushing us beneath its invisible weight. That split-second stretch of time, how the shadows dragged just a little too long, as if something unseen pulled at them, toying with reality itself. Something is terribly, dangerously wrong.Cassidy's eyes narrow, sweeping over the large space like a blade ready to strike. Her posture shifts, muscles coiling tight beneath her skin, tense and poised like a predator se
SERENA’S POVThe warmth still lingers between us—tender, quiet, and deeply comforting.I tug my shirt over my head and smooth my hair down with a soft exhale as Damon finishes buttoning his jeans. There's a softness in his gaze, a kind of afterglow that transcends the physical—it's emotional, magnetic, and hard to look away from. We don’t need to speak. The way he reaches over and intertwines our fingers says more than a thousand whispered words ever could. We’re wrapped in something real, something deeper than desire.As we step out of the room and descend the winding spiral staircase, the low hum of laughter and conversation rises to greet us. Down in the cozy living area, Luna, Ryan, and Brooke sit huddled around a rustic wooden table, a deck of cards splayed between them like a colorful puzzle. Luna’s fingers move with elegant flair, each shuffle deliber
DAMON'S POVHer words, raw and demanding – "Give me all of you. Now." – resonate deep within the core of my being, echoing through me like a physical blow. They send a powerful tremor down my spine, a vibration that has absolutely nothing to do with the lingering, pleasant tension of bringing her to a shattering release just moments before. This is something new, something fiercely reciprocal. My gaze locks with hers, instantly captivated, drowning in the brilliant, almost feverish shine that illuminates her eyes from within. I see the deep, becoming flush staining her high cheekbones, spreading down her neck – undeniable, visceral proof of the inferno I deliberately stoked within her soul. An inferno that now rages with an almost desperate need for completion, for absolute possession. She wants me. All of me. Badly. The knowledge is a potent drug, intoxicating and overwhelmingly satisfying.A lo
DAMON'S POVI can't help it. The need claws at me, an overwhelming tide that’s been building for hours, days, maybe longer. It’s a physical ache deep in my gut, a frantic energy buzzing just beneath my skin. And now… now she’s here. Right in front of me, in my apartment, the very place my fantasies have played out a thousand times. There’s nothing between us, no watchful eyes, no imminent interruption – at least, not yet.I know this is borrowed time. A stolen moment before the world, before her father, inevitably discovers she’s gone and rips her away again. That knowledge sharpens the edge of my desire, making every second precious, potent. There’s no room for discussion, no time for hesitant talk. Action is the only language that makes sense right now.With a low growl rising in my chest, I surge forward, pinning her against the cool wood of
SERENA’S POVThe night air is cool on my skin as Damon holds me close, carrying me as though I’m the most precious thing in the world. His strong, steady arms beneath me feel reassuring, the steady rhythm of his heartbeat vibrating against my cheek as I rest my head against his chest. It’s the only sound I focus on as we finally reach the apartment, my heart pounding—not just from the run, not just from the fear, but from the overwhelming swirl of emotions inside me: relief, joy, love... hunger.Damon pushes the door open, the scent of warm takeout and something faintly herbal filling the air, but there’s something else too—a tension, thick and unspoken. Inside, his friends are sprawled across the living room, a deck of cards scattered across the table between them. Brian, Ryan, and Brooke all look up in unison, their eyes widening slightly as they take in the sight of Damon cra
