GAVNER"Gavner," she said, her voice stern but tinged with concern. "Are you aware that Ophelia returned with her sons?"I looked up at my mother, surprised that she had already heard about Rodriguez and Hernandez, but I had no idea Ophelia was there with them. "Yes, mom, I'm aware of that. But I had no idea that Ophelia had returned," I said to her, my voice steady as I walked over to the couch beside her and sat down."Did father really have an affair with her?" I asked because I was still finding it hard to believe that the late Alpha had cheated on his mates and bore his sons without them knowing.Father didn't look like a man who was capable of cheating... he always acted so uprightly."I was not buying her filthy talks, not until she showed me and Naida one of the late Alpha's most valuable items," she said, her voice filled with emotions as she took a deep breath.She rested her arms on the table as she looked straight at me, her expression serious. "What are you going to do ab
"What did you find out, Marcel?" A man standing huge and tall asked as he hovered over the table, his eyes fixed on Marcel.Marcel walked in, standing before Vlad, the vampire king. He bowed his head. "My Lord, I have returned," he said, his voice fierce and straight.Vlad walked down the few steps, walking towards Marcel. "Speak!" Vlad commanded.Standing straight, Marcel stared directly at him. "She does exist... The Tribrid. I visited the witches and vampire clans but couldn't get her, but I finally found her in the Midnight Prowlers pack, where she happens to be the Luna of the pack." He took a deep breath as he combed through his hair with his fingers.Vlad had sent him to go in search of her because he was the only one capable of getting the job done.Many years ago, there was a prophecy that a Tribrid would be born, and she should be killed on that spot or else she would ruin the world.It was later discovered that she was born and that her mother had escaped with her the momen
NORAAs I walked through the woods, the setting sun cast a warm glow over my path. The cold air blew against my face as I ran fiercely, looking for blood to calm my cravings.I stopped the car and staggered into the woods. My senses were heightened, and my hunger for blood burned within me like a hot furnace.The hunger in my heart was severe as I stumbled around in the forest, grasping my chest. All that filled my nose was the blood of other wolves and people. I could hear their beating hearts and pumping blood.I wasn't feeling like this before until I bumped into that man earlier.I could not take it anymore... my hunger for blood was increasing, my throat was parched, and I sighed, trying to calm my cravings, but they were increasing every second.I wondered who the man I bumped into was and what he had done to me.I could hear a fast-beat heart, and my mouth watered as I tilted my head in that direction.I felt a sharp surge through my heart. "Aaahhh!" I screamed as I quickly cro
NORAGavner rushed over to me, carrying the baby from my arms. He squatted, placing his arms on my waist as he helped me stand up.As I stood up, I wondered why he wasn't scared. I could harm him. I can't even trust myself anymore.The pain in my throat was still lingering as it stung me. "You shouldn't be here," I said, my voice barely above a whisper.He pulled me closer to himself, closing the distance between us as I placed my hand on his chest."Are you saying I should leave you to kill every member of the pack?" he said tenderly as I felt his chest rise and fall on my hands.He carefully led me to the roadside. Helping me into the car, he handed the baby over to me as he turned around and hopped into the car.As he drove through the woods, I stared at the baby in my arms, whimpering. Knowing fully well that I had fed on his mother and rendered him motherless, it pierced my heart.It felt like a thousand arrows had been fired into my heart.I tilted my head, staring at Gavner, st
GAVNERShe ignored me, hurdling by the edge of the car as I drove.I knew I had disrespected her and made her upset, but I had my reasons. I understood that she wanted to keep the baby, but he was better off outside the castle, so I handed him over to someone who'd take great care of him.Tilting my head, I stared at her, her face blank as she looked out the window. "His name is Nickolas," I repeated again, but this time she shrugged.Taking a deep breath, she rests her back comfortably on the chair, sighing deeply. "Gavner? This is the end for us. I do not want to ever set my eyes on you again," she blurted out, just like I had expected.She said she didn't want to see me again. That was indeed going to be difficult.I placed my hand on hers, taking it as I spoke to her. I needed her to understand me.She is the only person I want at the moment. "Nora, I'm so...." she cut me off immediately as she quickly withdrew her hand, placing it by her side.I stepped on the break as soon as we
NORAI had intentionally looked up at him with a curious glint in my eyes and asked him to take off my dress. I wanted to know how much he really cared about me.How much he craved for me...How much he's stopping himself from touching me...I was sure his heart had skipped a beat because he was certain that he would never have thought that he would hear that from me. I could hear the fear in his voice when I asked him to take off my dress.I had no idea what was wrong with me either.When he left to get my dress, I found myself pacing around the bathroom, uncomfortable in my own skin.I wondered why I was finding him attractive. I knew he was more attractive than Horace, but I loved Horace.I've been finding it difficult to let him off my mind, but all to no avail... My life's a mess, and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it.I had no idea if it was as a result of him always being there with me or of him always looking out for me.I had no idea if my feelings were uneasy bec
NORAHis arms wrapped tight around my waist, and his hands reached up to cradle my face as he leaned in and kissed me deeply.As our lips met, I could feel the heat between us intensify. I kissed him deeply, his lips soft and gentle against mine.He grabbed my waist... I could feel his arms wrapping tightly around my waist, pulling me closer. His tongue darted out to meet mine, my hands reaching up to tangle in his hair as he pressed my body closer to his, lost in the moment.His tongue ran over my lips, and I opened my mouth. Our bodies pressing against each other, he reached up, his fingers grazing against the base of my neck.I moaned softly as his fingers played with my hair, and he smiled at the filthy sounds escaping from my lips.He ran his fingers over my skin, tracing the lines of my curves as I wrapped my arms around his waist.My heart was beating so fast, I could hear each thud in my ears, but I focused and wanted to focus on the moment, on the feeling of being so close to
HORACEI paced around Nora's chamber... she wasn't there, and it was dawn.I couldn't mind link with her, and she had no phone to communicate with her. After knowing who she really is, I felt like I didn't know her anymore.I felt like she was hiding from me... I couldn't reach her anymore, and my heart kept yearning for her.She told me she didn't love my brother, but after I found her in his arms, she looked more relaxed than she had ever been in my arms.It seemed like Gavner was hellbent on going after her, and I needed to do something about it.He didn't have the right to go after my mate, not after he had rejected her.I was trying to keep my cool because I realized that Nora was loving his company.I grasped my head, wondering where she was.The door was slightly pushed open as I turned to see who was there."Horace," she called, her voice weak as she switched the light on.She looked weak and feeble. "Where were you?" I asked.She strolled into the room, slumping on the bed. "I
