“Why would I ever consider giving myself off to you after you sent people to kill me?!” Tyler growled, trying to contain his fury. “My dear Alpha, we have much in common.” “No, we don't!” he shouted. Sofia was hurt by his anger but her voice was calm. It was a tactic to lull him into a sense of security and she didn't want to lose any time. She had to know about what he was thinking about that kept him so glued to his thoughts when she got in. She figured if she could get into his thoughts, so she concentrated on his aura and buried herself in his aura, sinking herself into his thoughts. “You don't belong here!” he yelled at her.
The basement door opened. The two of them stepped inside and locked it behind them. It took a few seconds for their eyes to adjust to the gloom and darkness in the basement. Once their eyesight adjusted, they were greeted by the sight of Emily chained up, sitting on a metal table. Gerald pulled a seat next to her and sat in front of her. He glanced around the room and motioned to Eric. “Have two chairs brought in. We need to start working right away. This place is not suitable for conversation.” The men complied and left the room. Eric slammed the door behind him and locked it. The werewolves began speaking in low whispers. “I still don't understand why we're doing this,” Eric began. “Because it makes sense,” Gerald replied curtly. “So why are we torturing her?” “To make her talk. She's the only one who knows how to handle the Blood Book. And we need her to relay information to us.” “How are we supposed to torture her? Isn't she
Tyler woke up that morning, naked, in bed and full of life and energy. But the energy drained from his face leaving him pale yellow when he reached out beside him and the lady he met at the bar last night wasn't there. In fact, she was gone from his apartment, her clothes strewn across the floor, her purse open on the coffee table next to her empty glass, and the scent of expensive perfume still clinging to the pillows they shared. He got up and went into the kitchen for a cup of coffee and looked around him. No one had been here. He wondered if maybe she’d left early. Maybe she didn’t want to stay anymore. Or maybe something had happened after they drank too much wine or something like that… Tyler sighed. She probably didn’t have a problem with drunk me, as it turned out. He’d just be lucky if she even wanted to get back together… Tyler rubbed the back of his neck and sighed again. She was gone. Before he went out that night, to go clear his head, he was told that the D
And now he was here. At a place of evil. At the heart of an anti-werewolf rebellion. In a club filled with people he trusted less than a second ago. People who hated and distrusted him. People who thought he was weak and useless because of his lack of magic. Because of his human blood. He had made up his mind to stop hiding, to take matters into his own hands. He had made up his mind to confront the Dark Wand Pack himself. And then, maybe he would be able to protect the empire. Maybe he could make the Dark Wand Pack realize that they were wrong. He could show them that it was okay to join together to fight against the Empire. But he also knew what it meant when you stood against the Empire. You could die. So instead he waited silently in the bathroom, staring up at the ceiling. His breathing slowly became less shaky as time went by. When the door was opened a few minutes later, he snapped his head forward, almost jumping at the sudden intrusion. But it was the girl he
A smirk tugged at his lips, and he leaned down to place a light kiss on her lips. “You. Me. Alone. Just us." "You can have it," she whispered. She let her fingers brush the fabric of his pants and he sighed deeply at the touch. Suddenly, she jumped away from him, turning back around to pull the straps of her dress over her shoulder. A second later, she was standing before him in only one strap, her bare breasts shining in the dim light of the room. He stared at her, unable to take his eyes off her. The dress looked so good on her. But he knew better than to say that aloud – it wasn’t the first time he had caught himself staring and wondering whether to kiss her. She was a beautiful woman and he hadn’t known what to do with all those thoughts. It took him quite some effort, but he kept them to himself and concentrated instead on the task at hand. He could admire her naked body later. For now, he had important things to do. As always, her beauty had him captiva
They left to an apartment down the lane before day break, but she left before he awoke the next morning. He was angry about that, she didn't even leave her name or an address to find her. He didn't know she wanted to be far away from him. He took her advice, taking a couple aspirin before falling asleep once again. When morning finally arrived, he woke up with a pounding headache, feeling extremely exhausted. He got dressed, deciding to take some pills. Then, he went outside to take some fresh air, heading for the nearest bench and sitting down. He gazed up at the sky, admiring the brilliant color of blue. It reminded him of her eyes. He sighed. How many women in their lives did he think he’d ever met? Not counting his sister, obviously. He wondered if there were any others he’d meet over the ye
It was Eric. Her former mate. Before everything that ruined their relationship. She felt hate and anger brew in her for all the times he couldn't help her or stand by her. It’s been almost two moons since she saw him last, but she knows it’ll be a long time before he gets over the attachment. She wishes he would at least try to find happiness elsewhere. There is no love lost between them, despite their friendship, so why don’t they move on with their lives. But the universe just doesn’t seem keen on helping that happen. She had tried telling him how she really feels about him and what happened, but as usual, he was a stubborn ass. Like she said before - the way Eric was raised didn’t do much for people like her. He’d always believe whatever lie he fed himself because it never occurred to him to question his assumptions. Or may
Katrina knew Tyler too well to let him venture out on his own after their last phone call. He sounded too worried about something he was not willing to share. She knew she had to find him before he messed himself up. She set out for him almost immediately he dropped the call. She was mind-linked to him, but he had suppressed it. All she had now to track him down was his scent and her powerful nose. She didn’t have to follow his trail very far until she found him in front of a bar. A familiar place. “Tyler!” He turned slightly and smiled slightly upon seeing her. Relief spread across his features. “Hey, Kitten. You found me," he greeted happily, moving further down the street and letting her catch up. "Ho
As Tyler walked through the chambers of the vampire kingdom, his mind wandered back to the last time he had seen Emily. Months had passed since their chance encounter in a bustling nightclub, where they had shared an intense and passionate night together. They had both been consumed by the moment, swept away in a whirlwind of desire.But when Tyler had awakened the next morning, he found himself alone in the disheveled hotel room. Emily had vanished, leaving behind nothing but memories and unanswered questions. He had desperately searched for her, but all his efforts had been in vain.Now, the familiar scent that had enveloped him earlier became even stronger, leading him to the very heart of the vampire kingdom. And there she stood, Emily, before him once more.Unable to resist, Tyler reached out, pulling her into an embrace. All his emotions, longing, and unanswered questions surged to the surface. He held onto her tightly, unable to let go. Emily, too, felt the depth of their conne
Alpha Gerald, burdened by the disappearance of Emily and the unsettling capture of Tyler, devised a daring plan to confront the vampire queen, Sofia, and uncover the truth about Emily's whereabouts. He understood that gaining access to the throne of the Lycan king could serve as a strategic ploy to gauge Sofia's involvement. Dressed in his customary regalia, Gerald once again approached the foreboding castle where the vampire queen held court. The corridors felt eerily familiar, yet his resolve remained unshaken. He was determined to unravel the web of intrigue that surrounded him. As he entered the grand chamber, Gerald noticed a distinct tension in the air. The vampire queen sat upon her throne, exuding an aura of power and intrigue. He bowed before her, his eyes never leaving her gaze. "Your Majesty," Gerald began, his voice steady and composed. "I come before you once again to beseech your aid, not only for the sake of our kind but for the preservation of harmony b
Emily, driven by a thirst for knowledge and a relentless curiosity, had immersed herself in the study of vampire lore. Her research had led her to uncover intriguing clues about the enigmatic vampire queen, Sofia, and the possibility of accessing the throne that held immense power within the vampire realm. As Emily delved deeper into ancient texts and obscure manuscripts, she pieced together fragments of forgotten history. Legends whispered of a hidden ritual that, if performed correctly, would grant unparalleled authority and control over the vampire kingdom. It was said to be a path shrouded in darkness and treachery, where only the cunning and determined could succeed. Armed with newfound knowledge, Emily embarked on a perilous journey to gather the necessary artifacts and information. She traversed haunted ruins, sought guidance from wise scholars, and engaged with secretive covens, always staying one step ahead of those who would seek to thwart her ambitions. Howe
Alpha Gerald paced back and forth in the dimly lit chamber, his frustration mounting with every step. His meticulously planned ritual to unlock the ancient secrets contained within the Moon Book Chronicles of power had been disrupted, and the source of his frustration was none other than the absence of his prisoner, Emily. The room, adorned with ancient symbols and flickering candles, resonated with an air of malevolence as Gerald's mind raced to comprehend what had transpired. He had carefully selected Emily, a young woman with unique blood properties, as the key to open the Moon Book. Her lineage held a long-lost connection to the mystical energies required for the ritual. Alpha Gerald had spared no expense or effort in securing her captivity, but now she had vanished without a trace. As his mind grappled with the situation, Gerald's gaze fixated on the guards he had assigned to watch over Emily. They stood in a line, their expressions a mix of fear and confusion. He ha
A few weeks had passed since Emily gave birth to her baby, a beautiful little girl with a tuft of dark hair and piercing blue eyes. Despite the hardships she had faced, Emily couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of joy and love whenever she looked at her daughter. Living in the vampire community had its challenges, but Emily found solace in the protection it provided her and her child. She had managed to keep her pregnancy a secret, afraid that the werewolf pack would discover her whereabouts and try to take her baby away. Being among vampires offered a certain level of safety, but Emily knew she couldn't let her guard down entirely. As her daughter grew, Emily began to explore her new surroundings more extensively. She mingled with the vampire community, learning their customs, their history, and their political structure. It was during one of these interactions that she stumbled upon a shocking revelation: the vampire queen, Sofia, was her mother's sister. Th
The venomous poison coursed through Katherine's veins, its effects swift and merciless. As Tyler watched in horror, unable to save her, Sofia reveled in her triumph. The vampire queen's eyes gleamed with sadistic pleasure as she witnessed Katherine's agony. "I told you, Tyler," Sofia taunted, her voice dripping with venom. "Your refusal has consequences. Now, watch as your precious bodyguard pays the price for your defiance." Katherine gasped for breath, clutching at her throat, her face contorted in pain. The poison robbed her of strength, rendering her helpless against the lethal venom coursing through her body. Tyler's heart shattered as he witnessed the woman he admired suffering before his eyes. Desperation fueled Tyler's decision, and in that moment of anguish and grief, he made a choice he never thought he would. With tears streaming down his face, he turned to Sofia, his voice laden with despair. "Fine," he choked out, his voice cracking. "I'll accept your
As Tyler fought to free his bodyguard, Katherine, from the chains, Sofia, the vampire queen, watched with a mix of amusement and satisfaction. The dim light in the chamber cast eerie shadows on her face, accentuating her sinister beauty. She had planned this moment meticulously, knowing that separating Tyler from his trusted protector would weaken his resolve and make him more susceptible to her influence. Sofia approached Katherine, her steps graceful and predatory. A sly smile played on her lips as she extended a hand, offering assistance. "My dear Tyler, why do you struggle so? Accept your fate, and I promise to release Katherine unharmed. Join me in this world of eternal darkness, where power and pleasure await." Tyler's eyes blazed with fury as he glared at Sofia. "I will never surrender to you. Katherine has sworn to protect me, and I won't let you use her against me." Sofia chuckled softly, her voice laced with a hint of malice. "Ah, dear Tyler, you underestimat
In the dimly lit caves, Tyler, the Lycan king, fought alongside his loyal companions, his senses heightened in the face of imminent danger. The air was thick with tension as they ventured deeper into the unknown, their objective clear: to rescue Katherine, Tyler's personal guard, from the clutches of the vampire queen, Sofia. Their path was treacherous, littered with jagged rocks and hidden crevices. Sinister whispers echoed through the cavernous walls, adding an eerie ambiance to the already chaotic atmosphere. The group cautiously advanced, their weapons at the ready, their instincts honed for any sign of aggression. As they pressed on, the silence was abruptly shattered by a cacophony of screeches and growls. From the shadows emerged grotesque creatures, their twisted forms a nightmarish sight to behold. The creatures had gnarled limbs and razor-sharp claws, their eyes burning with an insatiable hunger. With a primal roar, Tyler lunged forward, his body shifting sea
An uneasiness settled over Tyler, Gerald, Victoria, and Eric as they stood in the dimly lit chamber, their eyes locked on the ominous figure of the vampire queen, Sofia. She had trapped them in her lair, her grip tightening around Katherine, whose life hung in the balance. Sofia had made her intentions clear: she desired Tyler as her mate, and she would stop at nothing to make it happen. As tension filled the air, the flickering torches cast eerie shadows on the chamber walls. A sudden movement caught Tyler's attention, and his heart skipped a beat. He squinted his eyes, trying to discern the source of the disturbance. The uneasiness escalated as the others too sensed the encroaching danger. Whispering a warning, Victoria pointed to the corner of the chamber, where the darkness seemed to grow denser. Gerald's instincts kicked in, and he unsheathed his blade, ready to defend his friends. Eric, ever resourceful, grabbed a nearby torch, illuminating the area where the shadows
