NORA I stared at him, I had no idea what he wanted. First, he came back to me apologizing, he hugged me, and now I want to make him feel better, but he's scared his brother might see us. He placed one hand on my backbone and the other below my ass, scooping me up. He walked over to the table in the corner of the room, making me sit on it as he took a deep breath. Staring into my eyes, he spoke, "Nora, I overheard your conversation that night. I've had my doubts about you," he sighed, closing his eyes. My heart dropped, it was over for me. Not only was Horace aware, but Gavner overheard me as well. I had no idea what to do. I sat still as Gavner hovered over me, his hot breath scorching my face. "You knew?" I asked, and he nodded his head. Placing his palm on my face, he caressed softly. "I know asking for your trust will be too much, so I won't... Rather, I will always be here to protect you." He nibbled on his bottom lip and said, "I just hope you'd give me the chance to, and i
NORA Queen Naida and Shiba listened carefully as Ophelia narrated what exactly happened twenty-two years ago—an incident they never imagined took place. Twenty-two years ago, they mourned her death, their hearts filled with pain and sorrow. But right now, she was standing right there in front of them. Queen Shiba was certain that her sons had met with Horace and Gavner, but she was scared that Gavner now had a rival who also wanted the throne. She wondered why he was slowing down with their plans, she had no idea what was diverting his attention, but when she did find out what it was, she would not waste any time wiping them away from this world. "I can still remember that night vividly, he promised to find a better place for myself and my unborn child. I became a rouge, but he never returned." Ophelia said as the color drained from her face. Queen Naida was dumbfounded. She has always noticed how the late Alpha was secretly fond of Ophelia, but never in her wildest dreams had sh
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
