“He’s fooling around,” Lucius said.

The man spit some blood and smirked. He looked at me. “Come on, Maddy. Why choose someone so ruthless? You can do better than this.”

“Quit the act and give me the answer I want, bastard. Who do you work for?” Lucius’ was tapping on his gun with a serious expression.

“How did you know my father? Did you work for him?” I asked before Lucius would lose all his patience and pull the trigger.

“Well, you can say that I worked for him some time ago,” the man nodded to himself. “It’s a shame you forgot about me, Maddy. I must say I’m hurt.”

“Who are you?”

“What, you forgot my name already? I just introduced myself to you a couple of hours ago, remember?”

“But didn’t you give me a fake name?”

He shook his head, a small smile cracked on his lips. “Nikolai Wheeler, that is my name.”

“Why did you want to see me-“ The sound of gunshot made me stop. I turned to Lucius and I saw him raise his brow at the sudden interruption.

Nikolai chuckled as if he knew what was

    With no chance of putting up a fight, I ran to the opposite side of the corridor where there was a huge window at the end. I didn’t think using stairs would be of great help, so I thought of jumping off the window instead. We were on the third floor. It would surely hurt but it wouldn’t kill me, right?The wolf ran after me. I would have thought twice of jumping but I didn’t have the chance. Before the wolf’s teeth could reach me, I had thrown myself out of the window.I closed my eyes, expecting the impact of my fall.But I didn’t fall to the ground. Instead, I felt myself in someone’s arms.“What a crazy stunt you pulled there, little wolf.”His voice somehow calmed me. Thinking I was safe with him around. Well, Lucius was still dangerous in my eyes but I was assured he wouldn’t hurt me. For now, at least.“I couldn’t shift. Is that your doing? Did you perhaps make me drink something to make sure I wouldn’t kill you?” I asked when he put me down.“You think I am that petty?” He look

    “I tried to shift earlier when the black wolf was about to attack me but I couldn’t,” I said when Lucius wondered why I asked him if he made me drink something that wouldn’t allow me to shift to my wolf form.He looked at me with a slight crease on his forehead. His expression was serious which made me think he truly didn’t know about it.“Did it happen to you before?”“No,” I quickly answered. I didn’t shift often back then because it wasn’t needed. Only when there was training, and those few instances back when I was younger with my playmates.“Then it must be because of the Cursed Mirror. It might have weakened the state of your mind. Wolf shifters need a strong state of mind since it is where the shifting process starts and the reason why those who have mental problems couldn’t shift. This is just an assumption though. I didn’t study about it because I never knew someone who got out of the mirror.”“Does that mean I wouldn’t be able to shift forever? Or is it just temporary?” Wolf

  • Revenge of the Alpha's Heiress   29: Drunken Night

    The scent of alcohol and loud music welcomed me when I entered the club. It was one of those high-end clubs in the city, and it was my first time visiting one. But I wasn’t ignorant and Lucius briefed me about it, so I didn’t look like a nerd trying to fit in.I was wearing a mesh top with a tube inside and a black skirt and heels. I didn’t tie my hair because every time I do, I look younger than my age. Being chased out for being a minor was the last thing I would want to experience.Like Lucius promised, he stationed men around the club to make sure Benedict wouldn’t pull some stunt, like try to abduct me. Although there were a lot of people who would see, it wasn’t impossible. Lucius also said he’d be staying nearby and that he would know all my moves because he had access to the CCTV cameras around here, which I wasn’t surprised of. A very influential man like him, both in our kind and humans, he surely could manipulate most things.I went to the bar counter to act like I was gett

    Come back to him? Was he serious? I wanted to laugh because it sounded awfully ridiculous to my ears. “Are you drunk, Benedict?” He hissed. “It’s you who is drunk, Maddy.” “Right,” I agreed. “But I want to get drunk… I don’t know what to do now you know. I want to kick your ass off, but I don’t know where to start. I’m not even sure if I can trust Lucius or not. I have no one else.” I looked down on my glass, trying to bring a bit of tears out. “And whose fault is that? You should have stayed with me instead of running away. Life is far crueler than you think. See where your stubbornness brought you? You were caught by human traffickers and sold off to the underground society. You’re nothing less than a plaything to that man. Staying by his side means you would either get killed by his enemies or you’d get killed by him.” “And you’re suggesting that I better stay with you, the person who betrayed my family and pack?” I chuckled. “Seriously? You think I am that dumb?” He said som

    “Don’t you think it’s a good chance to get to Benedict’s good side?” I whispered to Lucius because I could see that our plan was working out well.Lucius narrowed his eyes a bit. He stared at me for a moment before he answered a hard “No.”“Why? Look, he’s biting the trap. This is our opportunity. Let’s just say I’d stay with him for a few days to think about our relationship. After that, you can always make a way to get me back.”“Not now, Maddy,” Lucius dismissed the idea. “Back off, Leandro, if you want your men to leave alive. I’m a little merciful but not when I’m in a foul mood.”Lucius dragged me out of the club. His butler was waiting outside and opened the car right away when he saw us.Lucius was silent the whole drive to the mansion. He was serious as if something critical happened to him. Was he thinking why the Vancouver pack wanted me? I wanted to ask him but chose not to.When we arrived, I thought he would talk to me but he didn’t and went straight to his room. I did t

    The next day, I woke up with the sunlight hitting my face. That was when I realized I forgot to close the windows last night after I got back from the kitchen. I was done taking a bath when I heard a knock on my door.I opened it and saw Bentley standing straight. He was smaller than average men. We were just of the same height. “Miss Madeline, Master Lucius is requesting you in his study room.”“Okay,” I nodded, wondering if it was about last night. It would be better if that would be the case because a lot of things happened last night. I felt like something was wrong. Why would the hell other people be interested in me, especially a huge pack?When I got to the study room, I saw Lucius standing in front of the window. But when he sensed someone went in, he turned to face me.“How’s your sleep? Good?” He asked in his usual light tone and blank eyes.“Adequate.”He nodded and went in front of his table and leaned on it with his one hand laid flat above.“You did a good job last night

    When we were already downstairs, a tall shelf filled with books was the first thing I noticed. We walked beyond it and saw a man, probably in his thirties, with shoulder length hair and glasses. He was sitting on a messy table with papers and books. When he noticed us, he lifted his gaze with a crease on his forehead.“Sir Norman, Sir Lucius is here for you,” Billy said politely. He smiled at us and I returned his smile before he left. He seemed to be very young, perhaps between sixteen or seventeen.Norman cleared his throat and went back to whatever he was reading in the book. He seemed to not be intimidated by Lucius’ presence, which was rare. “Mr. Voss, it has been a long time.”Lucius took the seat in front of the table and he tapped the chair beside him, telling me to sit. When I was already seated, he said, “Yes, long time no see, Norman. It has been what, three years? Billy was still a kid the last time I visited.”Though Lucius phrased it as a “visit” I was sure there was mor

    “Never mind. I have nothing to give,” I shrugged it off, not giving him a chance to ask anything from me. I was sure what he would ask wasn’t easy to do. He wouldn’t take something not beneficial after all. “If you change your mind, all you have to do is ask.” “No thanks, Master Lucius.” After several minutes of being out of the world, Norman returned to his senses and his eyes went back to its original state. I gave my full attention to him. “Have you talked to her? To the guardian?” I asked which made Norman questioned, “Have you met her?” “The guardian of Cursed Mirror? Yes, when I was locked inside.” “Really?” Norman seemed like he couldn’t believe it. “What’s with your reaction, Norman? You think she’s lying?” Lucius asked, his eyes narrowing sharply at the warlock. “No, it’s not that. It’s just, the guardians of the relics don’t show to every person that goes inside the relics, especially the Cursed Mirror. They only show themselves to someone special, someone who has th

    Alec couldn’t speak in too much irritation and probably, anger. His eyes were so dark and it was almost red, like the color of evil itself. The color of blood and war. The color of death. Yes, red can symbolize love like that of a rose. But it could symbolize many things such as what I have mentioned already.I know what I am doing is a big risk, but I have to try regardless. I need to save the innocent lives of those people who chose to stand by my side. They don’t deserve death like that especially when Alec is the one serving it. He is evil. His soul—if ever he has one which I doubt—deserves to rot in hell all together with his evil subordinates, especially Vienna. If only I am given a chance, I will really kill her. With the anger I am feeling for her, I won’t miss it for sure. She is just lucky that I am not capable enough to do that especially with the given circumstance. Because if only I was capable enough and there is no Alec blocking my way, I would have surely done it, give

    Back when I was young, my dream was simple. Stay out of troubles, earn a medical degree, make a good career, marry later on to my boyfriend at that time and have kids, maybe two or three. I envy those big families so I wanted to make my own. Maybe because I grew up in a broken family and I felt lonely. When Dad remarried to a woman who has a daughter same age as me, I thought I would finally have someone I can call as sister. I wanted a sibling. I wanted a normal happy family. But turns out that I would be kicked out in my own house because of her. Not that I was literally kicked out though since I left myself. But it is still the same for me because I knew I had no choice but to leave. It was getting worse every day and I don’t want Dad to worry about my issues. I went to Lynnwood, hoping I would calm down there and I also hoped that my stay in a new surrounding would bring good to me.However, looking back now, I can say that it brought me to something both good and bad.

    One day is left and I can say that the two days had passed were the hardest two days of my life. Not because of the hard training I received from Henry, Jaxon and Thomas, but because it seemed that there was still tension between the three sides. And it is worth mentioning that Lucius almost broke Jaxon's jaw. They have been an ass to each other no matter how Landon tries to behave. Carter is on his best behavior, though, no one can contest that. But I noticed his bold glares at Landon sometimes whenever their opinions oppose each other. I appreciate how he is trying to behave even though it's obvious that he has been trying to be patient with Lucius this whole time."Ah. I hate the other men in your life. I fucking hate their guts," Lucius whispered to me one time. I just laughed and pulled him to a hidden corner to give him a short kiss."Thank you for being patient for me. I appreciate it," I said while my hands were on his nape."What else can I do? I love you and I will always, a

    “Henry? Why Henry when you can train me yourself?” I asked Lucius because I really want him to train me himself. I know he is skilled enough to do that. He is powerful and very strong so I don’t understand now why he wants Henry to train me in heavier training when he already trained me in some basics before. I mean what is wrong with that? I am sure he is capable enough to teach me everything I need to learn. Not that it can guarantee that I will learn everything within three days because that is really impossible and I know that, but let's just say I am more comfortable around him than anyone else. Not that Henry makes me uncomfortable. He is a great man and a very loyal one, of course. But can’t I have my husband train me so we can have more time together? I mean who knows what will happen three days from now? No one knows what will happen—well, except those vampire/s who have the ability of precognition—but except them, no one knows.“It’s just, what we did in the past was only th

    “Jaxon, listen. All happened too fast. Lucius was taking a bath in our room while I was outside and walking by the shore of the beach. We didn’t have any that Alec had actually planned to make a move that day, so we let our guards down. A member of the council showed up out of nowhere, she has the ability to make portals, so that was how she managed to kidnap me so quickly. Lucius figured it soon but he didn’t go to Alec’s manor because he knew that if he does, we will just be killed, so he made a plan. Apart from that, he was confident that Alec won’t harm me until the day of the ritual. I was confident too. Because we know that Alec needs me alive for the ritual and he wants my body to be at its best state when Elizabeth’s soul will take charge on it. He never harmed me, so please stop your banters and stop being mad. The important thing here is that I’m safe and Alec won’t be able to get me for his stupid plans anymore.”“How sure are you that he won’t be able to do it again? He di

    “Jaxon is outside,” just when Mom said that, I smelled a werewolf’s scent, Jaxon’s scent.Lucius glanced at me with a darker expression. Of course he doesn’t like Jaxon. But then they are even because Jaxon feels the same. We just finished cooking pancakes and watching a football game while Mom throws question every now and then. I was a little uneasy about it though because I felt Mom has doubts on Lucius but the way I see it, Landon isn’t the least bit affected and is all polite to her. Well, maybe he’s trying to impress her. I would love that kind of effort given to my mother but as much as I want that, I also don’t want to put too much pressure on Lucius's shoulders. I don’t want him to feel that he has to force himself into doing something just for me. I don’t mind if he would show a little irritation or something, but he didn’t. or maybe he just really doesn’t mind.“I told him that you visited. He told me he is coming,” Mom went on.“When did you tell him? It’s just early in th

    I still couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe it that all this time the Lucian I was reading about in Elizabeth’s diary was the one who took care of Lucius ever since he was a child, the man Elizabeth loved first and Alec killed him because of jealousy. I can’t help but feel a little guilty even though it wasn’t really something I did. I don’t know. It must be because no matter what I say, Elizabeth is still my great grandmother, someone tied to my bloodline, and most importantly, someone who looked exactly like me.“You shouldn’t feel guilty about it, Maddy. you have nothing to do with it so you shouldn’t feel the least bit guilty. Even I don’t blame Elizabeth for anything. It just happened that destiny chose to play with her. She found love with a human but ended up meeting her mate and she was powerless when it came to vampire bond. Trust me, a lot are slaves to that bond, and I’m so lucky that you were an exception. Because damn, I don’t think I can do it if you leave me for Sim

    “While I was in Alec’s manor, I discovered something,” I said to Lucius while I was leaning on his chest after our heated lovemaking. It was when I had the time to talk about what happened in the manor. I never had the chance earlier because I was too busy dealing with how badly I missed Lucius and all I just wanted was for him to touch and kiss me. who can blame me anyway? We were just done with our second and the real wedding, and we were in the middle of our honeymoon but Alec ruined it all, imprisoned me at his goddamn manor and put me chained in a grand bed, disabling me from doing anything for the whole eleven days. Can you imagine how much pains I have went through within those days? One couldn’t imagine.“What did you discover?”“Elizabeth had a family.”“She had?”“Yes. She was adopted. But her adopted father did something that made her run away from home. You heard about different sects that dominated Great Britain in late 18th century? She was an heiress of an influential s

    "Are you hungry?""Yes," I answered breathily."Alec didn't feed you?" he asked quietly, there was a dark edge on his voice."He did. I'm not thirsty for soul, though." I grinned and gave him a smooth peck on his lips.He tilted his head, giving me a good view of his protruding adams apple."What are you thirsty for, then?I rolled my eyes while grinning. It was so obvious in his mischievous look that he already knew. He just wants to play with me. And goddamn it, God knows how much I love to play with him in every way I could.He kissed the corner of my lips while I'm laughing. He then climbed his way to the stairs and the next thing I knew, we are already on his room. Our room, I mean. He told me, I remember, that whatever he owns, I own it too. And that I also own him. I don't want him to refer it that way actually. I told him he's a man of his own, that nobody owns him not even his wife, but he insisted that he is letting me own him, every piece of him.Yes, my husband is such a v
