“I know what I’m saying Megan,” Karla frowned. “The first time I tried it with him, he jerked so hard that I almost laughed out under the tub. “He is too naïve.”“Makes it even better,” Megan eyed her. “The more innocent they are, the better it is. But I think you like the idea of cleaning the palace for a whole week. If you don’t, you would not even consider this. You would do it without a second thought.”“I don’t know, Megan,” Karla frowned, confused. “You know I’m not like you.”Megan eyed her friend and smiled. “I’ll take that as a compliment.”“Oh you’d better do,” Karla laughed. “Thanks for everything, Meg. You’ve really been of help to me. And how are things going with Daniel?”“Ugh,” Megan rolled her eyes. “You had to spoil the moment by bringing him up. That bastard.”“Interesting,” Karla’s ears perked up immediately at the thought of a juicy gossip. “Megan calls Daniel a bastard. That would make the best headlines on the news. I want to hear all about it. What did he do to
“Jimin!”Jimin turned around in shock to see that Karla was staring at him, her hands akimbo and her lips pursed jn a frown. From the expression on her face, he guessed immediately that she had been calling his name for a long while and he had not replied her.“I’ve been shouting your name for the past five minutes!” she frowned. “You left me hanging there to come and stare into space or what?”Jimin rubbed his hands over his eyes like someone in a trance and he ran his hands through his hair.“Look, I’m sorry,” he said. “I have a lot on my mind now. Could we talk about this later? I’ll explain better. I have to go somewhere now.”“Where is that?” she frowned. “Where do you want to go?”“Its actually a meeting,” Jimin lied. “A private meeting. Look, I’m running late now. Can we talk about this later. I promise you, we would talk about it when I get back.”“You are not going to ditch me here, Jimin,” Karla said, shock written all over her face, but Jimin had already started off. He ran
“Good,” Tae said and continued. “You would not die for anybody in the coming wars. You would fight alongside your pack in the coming wars and you would fight against Ghost only. When you see Calisté, you are to remain passive, or better still, run away to a safe place where I would lead you to hide. Calisté has promised that as long as she sees your face after the wars, she would spare you and you would join her in the new kingdom that she is building. If however, she fails to defeat Xavier and the rest of the werewolves, then you can still fall back to them. No one would know that you did this.” Jimin turned and stared at Calisté.“You would not mind taking me in even if you win the wars?” Jimin asked.“I don’t mind,” she shrugged. “As long as you play no part in it when I come. You would be fully protected and there is no way you are going to lose out. When you see Ghost and his Lycans, you fight. Kill as much as you can and your people would sing your praises for days. But when I c
“Uhm?” Calisté stared at him. It was obvious from the expression on her face that she was disappointed. “What happened to the other Jimin? The one that bent me over midair?”“Did what midair?” Tae sighed. “What have you done, son?”“Leave me alone please,” Jimin frowned. “You called me here for a meeting, to negotiate my terms of surrender when Calisté comes marching and now I’ve agreed to your deal. What more do you want from me?”“You did all this behind me!” Tae complained. “And I think I deserve to know what is going on in my son’s life…it’s not like I’m jealous or something.”“Yeah, you’ve said it before dad,” Jimin nodded. “We all know you’re you jealous even though you pretty much sound like you are. Maybe it’s just me that sees it that way. I’ve agreed to her terms. Once I see her, I would stand down.”“You don’t have to agree though,” Calisté said, noticing his reluctance. “If you want to fight for Xavier, you can go ahead. It is your decision to make, but agreeing to stand d
Jimin sighed. “I knew you would say that. I knew that you would give an impossible condition. What Karla and I have to talk about is very much private and I can not tell it to you, to Jon or to anyone else no matter what. Just allow me speak with her for a minute and I’ll be gone.”“I never asked to hear what you have to say to her,” Jon shrugged. “My brother’s the one concerned with that detail. As for me, there is no reason you should be here. This is not the Beta house. The Beta house is where you belong now, not here. And I hear you’ve been walking about at night lately. If you’re feeling lonely, why not go get some human slut to keep around your house. Heard your father almost did the same when he was much younger.”That was definitely it for Jimin. He pounced on Jon angrily and fed him with three blows before Sebastian was able to disentangle the two of them.“What is wrong with you two!” Sebastian barked frowning at the two of them. “You’re the fucking Beta. What do you think p
“I NEVER EVEN WANTED YOU!”The words floated in the air above Karla and she felt a sharp pain sting her stomach. She had her stomach and bent down towards the floor, her wet and teary eyes, a testament of the pain that she was going through at the moment. Jimin didn’t seem to care. He kept on barking in her ears, intelligible words to him, but unintelligible to her. She could barely hear a thing.“We have been good friends for years! You knew all about my relationship with that whore, Lona. You knew how bad she treated me and you were the only one I complained to. I never opened up to another soul about how depressed I felt. Yet, you kept this from me! And now what do you want me to do? Fall in love with you too? Love is not magic! It does not work that way. I can’t love you overnight. You can’t expect me to…”“Jimin!”Jimin turned in shock to see Michael Coatés staring down at him, smoke coming from his nose. If not that Jimin knew that the old man could not even hurt a fly, he would
They all stared at Jimin as his body exploded into light and they were all shocked. The last time a werewolf from the Black Wolf pack had exploded into light was about a hundred years ago and it was Jimin’s father, Tae. Michael Coatés could still remember the stories surrounding the events that happened that day as if it were yesterday. Tae Kong had been angered by a statement made by one of the Sentinels and he didn’t say a word. The Sentinel had accused him and questioned his loyalty to the pack because of his affiliation with Calisté who was already known back then as the witch and the number one enemy to the pack. At first, Tae had ignored his words and he continued saying them. Tae had gotten very angry at him and when they had a face-off, he slapped Tae hard across the cheek. Tae’s face went red that day and before anyone could know what was happening, he started glowing. They saw his skin begin to get light and they all began to shift away from him until he finally exploded, f
Michael turned to face Jon immediately. “The key? We need to get the fuck out of here now.” Jon didn’t have a contrary opinion. As much as he wanted to see his elder brother beat Jimin to death, he knew that what had just happened was strange. They were all in danger and needed to leave. He fumbled with some of the keys in his pocket before finally producing the key to the door out of his pocket. He turned to face his father.“Here,” he waved the key in his front. “Lets get out of here. The Beta is a witch like Calisté. We need to tell this to Xavier.”“Tell what to Xavier?” Jimin turned to face them. They stared at him in shock. His eyes were the color of the moon – a white that looked almost grey. His body was still glowing and he emanated an energy that was so electric that they felt like they feared that they would get vaporized if they dared to get too close to him. His eyes locked with Jon’s for a moment before he turned to face Michael.“You two wanted him to kill me.”It was m
