NORARodriguez was so fast that he quickly bent down, placing my hand on my knee as I held my neck, massaging softly.I felt Rodriguez's hand raise my gown, revealing my pants.This man is a psychopath, right here?Sliding his fingers into the waistband of his pants, he was just about to yank it down when my claws elongated. I smiled.Lowering my head as I stared at him, I said, "Rodriguez..." softly, and I called his name as I pushed my hair to fall behind me.Looking up at me, I quickly placed my claws on his face, seizing his flesh as I tore his face apart.He fell to his knees, placing his hands on his face and bringing it down as he stared at his hands filled with blood. He growled, staring at me."Come closer and I'll suck you dry. Too bad your blood stinks!" I made fun of him."Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" he yelled, groaning in pain as he fell to the floor."Guards!" He began to call them out.Seconds later, three guards appeared in front of us."Alpha!" they reported."Arrest her! Lock
NORAIt's been two days since Gavner took me out of the dungeon. Even though I stink from the dirty water Candra poured on me, he didn't mind.Gavner sighed, "I'm sorry I came late. Please forgive me," he apologized as he strode down the hallway in the castle.I didn't mind that he was late as long as he came to save me. That was enough for me.I knew he had other things he was taking care of, even though he wasn't the Alpha.Damn!The thought of that made me think about Horace.I really shouldn't reciprocate all his kind gestures like this... it just didn't feel right.I know I had issues with him before the accident... he pushed me away from him.Now I'm confused.I cocked my head as I stared out of the window, staring at the sunlight as it poured through the leaves of the avocado tree. I stood up from the bed and I strode to the window, still lost in my thoughts.I had told Sarah not to come to me for a week just so she could have some rest. I knew that I wasn't stressing her up, b
NORAAfter my conversation with my mother, I drove back to the castle. At this point, I was extremely tired and needed to rest.Stepping out of the car as I shut the door behind me, I murmured to myself, "What a day!" as I walked into the castle.I thought I was deaf at first, but I kept hearing someone clapping toward me. I was still adjusting my gown that got tangled up in the car.Raising my head, I was startled when I saw a one-eyed man standing right in front of me.Dammit! Rodriguez...I tried to hold in my laughter, but I couldn't, so I ended up pouring out all my laughter at him.I couldn't believe the little thing I did to him ended up taking one of his eyes.So satisfying.I could see him clenching his fist tightly when I laughed. Unable to hold his anger, he quickly pulled me by my hair.Pulling me closer to him as he made me stare at his bandaged eye.Disgusting!Growling, "You see this. You are paying for this in ways you didn't expect."The smile on my face disappeared a
"To get the Tribrid, we need to kill Lilith," Ophelia suggested as Mira's jaw dropped.Ophelia called for a meeting with all the leaders of the Phantom Shade coven.Staring at Ophelia, "Lilith is still alive? That god-damned bitch!" Mira cursed.Michela, the queen of the Phantom Shade coven, sat still as she observed them without saying a word. She couldn't believe that Lilith was still alive because she was the one who burned her family."We have to act fast," Orion said as he continuously clicked his fingers on the table.Ambrose was uncomfortable with the conversation because he has never been among their plots... he is completely surprised they called him into this conversation when they knew too well that we have never been interested.Michela cocked her head. "Ophelia, what are you suggesting we do?"Ophelia took a deep breath, crossing her arms around her chest. "Like I said initially, Lilith is in the Midnight Prowlers pack protecting the Tribrid, and she clearly warned me to
THIRD PERSON POV"What!" Raina staggered backward.She knew that something was off with Marcel. Surprised as she sees him in a conversation with Ophelia, she has no idea what he is doing with a witch.'Are they working together?' she asked herself as she fell to her knees.Taking out her phone, she takes a quick shot of the both of them and heads back to Vlad.She needed to report it to him immediately.~Walking into the courtroom, she bowed her head. "Lord Vlad," her voice was unstable.The courtroom was quiet as usual because Vlad hated noise.Waving his hand at Raina as she stood straight. "What's wrong?" he asked.Raina had no idea how to break the news to Vlad because Marcel is his favorite.Taking a deep breath, she slips her hand into her jacket and takes out her phone. "I have something to show you," Raina said as her hands began to shake.Somehow, she found her confidence as long as she had evidence to show that Marcel was having a conversation with a witch, but Vlad was the
NORANo, I don't agree with that!" staring at Gavner as he gave me reasons why I shouldn't let anyone trample over me. I am quite surprised because I haven't seen this side of him before.But he didn't understand my point... there was never a time when I didn't want to retaliate, but I had to hold myself back from doing so.I knew too well that I should not be bothered by the situation I put Rodriguez in, but I had no choice because I defended myself from his callous attitude.I just wondered, What gave him the right to think he could get me... on his bed?That was crazy!The fact that he still makes me feel like a nobody in the castle still sickens me to my guts.Taking a deep breath, I said, "Gavner, I understand exactly what you are trying to tell me, but..." He cut me off again several times I lost count of.He shook his head continuously as he slightly pushed me against the headboard, helping me relax my back.No, Nora, you do not understand," he says calmly as he sits beside me o
THIRD PERSON POVQueen Naida paces around her chambers, her mind and soul occupied with different feelings that she can't differentiate.She was happy that Horace had finally regained consciousness after all the months of lying lifeless on the hospital bed, but she was still worried.She was extremely scared and heartbroken.The way Horace spoke to her at the hospital brought back incidents that happened years ago to her memory.She shook her head as she heard a knock on the door. "Come in quickly," she ordered.The door creaked as it was pushed open, and a maiden walked in with a cup of coffee in her hands. Quickly she walked up to Queen Naida and offered her the tea, "Your tea, my queen." the maiden as she stood back."You can leave," Queen Naida ordered, waving her hand toward the door.As soon as the door was shut, she took a deep breath... sure that the maiden had left, she picked up the cup of coffee and gulped down the entire contents in the cup.Rubbing her palms over her face
NORAWhen Gavner told me that Horace had finally regained consciousness, I couldn't believe it.My jaw dropped as I stared at him.After waiting for so long, he finally woke up."I need to go and see him," I said to Gavner as I pushed the duvet away from me and stepped down from the bed.Gavner shook his head as he stretched his hand, trying to stop me, but I was going to consider anything he was going to say to me.The fact that I even forgot that Gavner was now my mate actually made me sick to the stomach... I didn't even get a chance to think about how he felt when I jumped down from that bed.Walking straight to the wardrobe, I pulled the handle open as I accessed the clothes neatly lined up on the hangers. Without wasting any more time, I quickly dragged out a short gown and put it on."It is necessary for you to go and see him," Gavner asked as he walked up to me, helping me zip up my dress.Trailing his fingers on my back as he gripped my waist slightly. Slowly, I turned around,
