Sienna ~
Orion’s blood was sweeter than anything I had ever tasted in my life, my head spun as my nails sunk even deeper into his skin, tearing flesh and drawing blood. I knew I would regret doing this by morning, but I honestly couldn't care less, I was turned on beyond belief… and those deep sounds that erupted from the back of his throat were not helping matters at all. Scarvyn venom was powerful, and these alphas were no match, no matter how deadly or dangerous they were, they would become ours now, unable to harm us and bound to protect us because we were the only ones who could give them this feeling. I sank my fangs even deeper and my legs wrapped around his waist while his hands snaked down to grab my ass roughly. I could feel the hot bulge of his desire against my skin but I ignored it… I had to… or else I would lose my mind and do something I would definitely regret in the morning. His hand slid inward, nearly touching my most sacred parts— “That's enough,” that was Silas’s voice— I barely heard him. I was not full, not even close, amid my lust, I had forgotten the fact that I could drink too much and cause damage to his system, all that filled my mind was the primal urge to drink to my satisfaction and drain him of every last drop… He was too special to let go of so easily. I felt hands on my shoulders and I fought them off but they were too strong as he pulled me away from Orion’s body. “Let go of me!” I protested but Silas held me to him as I mindlessly struggled to get back to Orion. “Calm down tiger, he can't give you any more,” Silas said and my eyes darted to Orion as the realization dawned on me. His glasses had fallen off somewhere along the line and his beautiful eyes revealed pupils that were so dilated with pleasure, he looked at me as though he wanted me to continue despite the fact that his body couldn't give more. “That was… not what I expected.” his hand moved to touch his neck, smearing the blood that trickled from the healing puncture wounds. I looked away from him sharply before my instincts could take over. I wrapped my legs around Silas instead and he readily presented his neck to me. My fangs sank into his skin like butter and his blood pulsed into my mouth. It was delicious, filled with lust and repressed anger. But it was nothing compared to Orion’s. His big hands gripped my waist as I drank to my fill, afterwards, I retracted my fangs and released his skin with a pop sound. Now it was time to uphold my end of the bargain. I would fucking murder myself after this entire ordeal was done. From being a protected princess in the palace, to being protected in my foster parent’s house, I had never been exposed to sexual things or the debauchery my kind was used to. But it was apparently somewhere in my DNA because I got on my knees before Orion. His dark eyes stared down at me expectantly. I had no idea what I was even supposed to do. Orion shamelessly unbuckled his belt and pulled his trousers past his waist and his massive male organ popped out. Why the fuck was I even calling it male organ? It was a cock… the word sounded so foreign to me, I was never allowed to utter such vile words at home, but I knew them. He wrapped his hand around the base and stroked shamelessly, he groaned in pleasure tilting his head back, Adam’s apple bobbing. He looked so devastatingly good and I found myself salivating. I moved toward him and when his eyes met mine again, his pupils had dilated even more. “Come closer, baby girl,” he muttered in an impossibly deep voice. I did as instructed without hesitation, I did not need to be told twice. His thick cock was longer than the entire length of my face and almost as thick as my thigh, I wondered how it would even fit my mouth. I took it in my two hands and my touch must have done something to him because a growl escaped his lips. I loved it, I suddenly wanted to see what other sounds I could get from him. I mimicked his previous actions and stroked him. “Fuck,” he groaned out and his veiny hand reached out to tangle in my hair as he bucked his hips forward. “Squeeze the tip gently,” he ordered and I wrapped my fingers around the hard deep red head, forming a ring, and then I squeezed. More precum bubbled out and he groaned out a string of nonsensical words, he was so fucking sexy. I could feel Silas’s burning gaze on me, but there was no shame, I knew that after all, he would not remember half of what happened here by tomorrow. I stroked him again and I felt a new wave of lust flood me, but it was not for blood, something else that I could not name. His fingers tightened painfully around my hair and I let out a whimper of pain but that made him tighten his fingers even more… I loved it. My fingers drew circles at the sides of his cock as I stroked him, I could feel the heat rising, and then when my thumb grazed his frenulum— I had no idea that place was so sensitive— he yanked my head back and let out a growl that reverberated through the room and hot semen erupted from his cock and I was startled as the hot liquid landed on my lips, cheeks and the exposed parts of my chest. I don't know why I did it, but my tongue darted out to taste it, perhaps it was out of sheer curiosity. It tasted delicious and so manly, like fuel for the embers that ignited in my belly. I was a hundred percent certain my wetness had formed a pool on the floor beneath me.Dahlia ~“I can't believe this is what our life has come to,” Sienna wailed as we headed to class.I truly did not want to be reminded of the previous night.“Can you stop wailing for once and just focus, you're not the only one going through shit,” I whispered as a group of males rushed past us, nearly knocking me over. “Hey!” I protested and the male turned back to give a wink and a middle finger to both of us.I rolled my eyes, I was getting used to their lack of morals.“We don't have to do it for like another week or so,” Sienna said. I turned to her and arched a brow in question. “Kaden said we needed to get fucked to reduce our pheromones, but he obviously overestimated it, the blowjobs were more than enough to do that, and it should be about a week from now before our pheromone levels rise again,” Sienna said. Dahlia did not like the sudden flutter of butterflies in her belly at the mention of his name.Not butterflies— roaches… she tried to convince herself.“As long as
Dahlia ~“So the first training is the Dominance and Leadership Training, as Alpha’s you need to learn how to take control of your packs. This involves learning conflict resolution, establishing authority, and commanding obedience even under pressure,” Naima explained. Then she pointed to the words projected behind her. “Next is Hunting and Tracking, you will be trained to lead packs, stalking prey, and organizing group attacks.”She kept explaining, number three was combat and self defense training, we would engage in physical training in both human and wolf forms, focusing on hand to hand combat training.How on earth were we supposed to fight in wolf forms? I let out a heavy exhale… we will cross that bridge when we get there.Number four was pack bonding, here we would participate in mock rituals under the full moon to increase the connection between pack members.We would participate in three tests after the training. Territory defense, crisis, and survival. They sounded impo
Dahlia ~The sound of movement around me dragged me from my slumber, and I groaned as Sienna stirred in the bed beside me.“Wake up,” she muttered, but her voice was thick with exhaustion. “I think we’re late.”My eyes peeled open to see that she had gotten up to make her bed. It was way too early for all this.It was barely even first light.“You mean ‘late’ as in a little late,” I said, dragging the words out, “or late as in we’re screwed?”Sienna glanced at me pointedly, her short hair wild. “Considering I just saw Aurelian and Silas walk out the door fully dressed, I’m guessing we’re screwed.”She wasn’t wrong. By the time I slid out of bed, the others were almost ready. To my right, Kaden stood near his bed, buttoning up a black shirt that fit him entirely too well. I caught glimpses of hard muscle beneath the fabric, the cursed black markings twisting over his skin glimmered as though tiny stars lived within them.And then there was Orion. He leaned against the wall as he waited
Sienna ~“Well, unfortunately, they’re our roommates,” I heard Dahlia say. Naima’s sharp eyes widened at us like we’d just confessed to treason.She sighed dramatically and pinched the bridge of her nose. “Roommates. Of course, the goddess loves to be entertained?”“There’s nothing we can do about it,” Dahlia said with a shrug like this was just another Tuesday.Naima raised a brow, lips curling in disbelief. “Have you fed on them yet?”I froze mid-breath. Dahlia, too. The air suddenly felt too thick.Naima’s gaze darted between us, her face twisting with frustration as understanding dawned. “Oh, for the love of—” She let out a string of curses so creative I was impressed.My brow also arched in confusion.“But—” I started, “in our defense, you told us to find males to feed on.”“Yes,” she hissed, waving her hand like I was missing the point. “Males. Could have been anyone, not them.”Her glare could’ve burned through steel.“You two listen to me,” she said, her tone icy and low. “Th
Dahlia ~ I searched around for Kaden for about a minute and I was starting to get irritated, why did he make me search for him? I considered approaching Naima and demanding for a partner change, but I knew the likelihood of that happening was low because everyone was already paired up— My thought processes came to a halt when I bumped into hard wall, the force knocked the air out if my lungs and sent me flying to the floor.What the—An imposing shadow covered the light of the sun and I looked up to see Kaden, his mismatched eyes glaring down at me with delight at causing me pain.He did not make a single attempt to help me as I scampered to my feet. His broad shoulders appeared stiff, and his dark hair curled at the edges, just messy enough to make him look dangerously good… as usual.“Are you just going to stand there?” I asked as I crossed my arms.He tilted his head slightly, his piercing eyes locking onto mine. “What do you want, Caleb?” His voice was low, rough, and so calm
Dahlia ~“I really think you should stop getting on his nerves so often,” Sienna muttered as we strolled through the dimly lit hallway toward the dining hall. Her voice carried a half-joking, half-serious tone.“It’s not completely my fault,” I replied, flicking a strand of hair out of my face. “He’s utterly insufferable. I hate him, I hate all of them.”“How couldn’t you?” Sienna sighed. “I’ve been trying to hide how much they disgust me.”I clenched my jaw. “It’s getting harder to pretend I don’t want to set this entire school on fire with everyone in it.”The words had barely left my mouth when we rounded the corner and ran straight into some students. Four of them… it was a pack. The Alpha stood in the middle and his sneer was instant. He shoved Sienna so hard and she hit the ground with a thud that echoed through the hallway.“Watch it, dimwits,” he said with a voice that dripped with disdain, “You both reek of abominations.”My blood boiled instantly. I grabbed Sienna’s arm a
Kaden ~“I would kill that fucking bitch! Strangle her until there is nothing left in her but audacity, and then I will squash that as well.” Anger welled up in my veins even more as thoughts of what she had just done ran through my mind's eye. “So what exactly is pissing you off right now?” Orion asked as we entered the dorm room. I was once again assaulted by her scent. Of all the scents in the room… hers, hers penetrated my nostrils and branded itself in my brain, never to be forgotten. This was fucking torture.“Is it the fact that she won you, or the fact that you can't get her out of your mind? If it's the latter, losing to women isn't as bad as you think.” Orion continued.“What?” I asked, looking up at him sharply. “Who the fuck are you, and what have you done with Orion?” I questioned and he lifted his arms in surrender with a small smile playing on his face.“I have to admit, Sienna’s witchery or whatever it's called might be getting to me, but I love it, you know, I want
Dahlia ~“Kaden, Orion, Aurelian, Silas, Theo and Caleb.” The instructor called.All students were gathered once again at the training fields, it wasn't even dawn yet and I had barely managed to get enough sleep the previous night because of how irritable Kaden was, he intentionally bumped into me so many times that I feared I might have developed a concussion. He was such a sore loser.And when it was finally time to go to sleep, my duvet was nowhere to be found. Now, everyone else was fully dressed yet my training gear AND my uniforms were discovered missing this morning. I would kill the son of a bitch, slowly, ensuring he felt every single agonizing moment, and then I will kill ALL werewolves, they were all vile creatures that did not deserve breath.A shiver racked through my body as I stood bare foot on the grass, wearing nothing but my skimpy silk pajamas.Yes, my shoes were missing too.I was lucky he left my chest bandages. Otherwise one look at me and everyone would know
Orion ~“My friend there thinks you're cute!” the pretty blonde haired girl before me said, fluttering her lashes at me in a way that said she was the one interested, not her friend.I was not in the mood to play, “later,” I said to her and she pouted. Since she would not leave me alone, I excused myself and strolled deeper into the woods.My mind was raging with many questions and doubts. And the Scarvyn girls were the genesis.I wasn’t an idiot. Something about them wasn’t adding up. Naima had said nothing about it and that was what unsettled me the most.Naima was secretive, but not with me. Not when it mattered.If they truly were Sienna and Dahlia, there was no way she would keep that from me. She had no reason to after all.My mother was a hybrid. Half Scarvyn, half werewolf, a rare thing even in this world of impossibilities. My father was a full blooded werewolf. When they had Naima, she’d come out pure Scarvyn, taking after our mother.Then there was me. Born a year late
Dahlia ~“You’ve got to be kidding me.”My heart slammed against my ribs and there was suddenly a crushing headache pounding against my skull.The elder’s words still rang in my ears and I struggled to make sense of them.Surely, I had to have misheard because there was no way he had just called me to join Kaden and Merikh’s marking ceremony.I turned to Roxanne, hoping and praying she’d laugh and say I was losing my mind.But her brows were raised in genuine shock. So I definitely was not imagining things.“I mean…” she started hesitantly. “I don’t know much about werewolf history, but I really didn’t think this was a thing.”I swallowed, my throat had gone dry. “It’s not. It can’t be.”But the murmurs around us said otherwise.The people here weren’t surprised. Some were even smirking… This was completely normal to them.I exhaled sharply and turned back to Roxanne, lowering my voice so only she could hear. “There’s no way in hell I’m going in there with those two monsters.”Roxanne
Kaden ~“You’re going to kill them.”Orion’s voice was flat, almost bored, but I knew him too well. Beneath the casual tone was concern, maybe even a little bit of fear.I smirked as I adjusted the heavy golden cuffs on my wrists. “You think so little of my self control.”He sat on the edge of my bed, arms crossed, watching me like I was some sort of volatile animal. Which, to be fair, wasn’t entirely incorrect.“I think you desperately need something to keep you in check,” he responded. I didn’t reply. Instead, I turned back to the mirror that spanned an entire wall of my chambers. My father had installed it years ago in some grand, extravagant show of wealth that I never understood. He’d been so obsessed with his outward appearances, with vanity, with power that gleamed and sparkled like the gold he wore.Looking perfect on the outside meanwhile his family had been in utter shambles.I hated him more for it.But the mirror stayed.And now, I stood in front of it, draped in black
Dahlia ~“Do you know how easy it is to drown in there?”A voice sarply pulled me from my deep sleep. I blinked feeling a little disoriented, my body felt weightless as I floated in the warm water and then reality kicked in, I had fallen asleep in the tub.Damn… how tired had I been?I jerked upright and water sloshed over the edge of the tub.Roxanne stood at the light pink doorway with her arms crossed against her chest. She was already dressed, and dear goddess, she looked so good.Her dress was ridiculously short, revealing her perfect legs and it had a stunning red colour that suddenly reminded me of…“Is there a reason your dress is the exact same shade of red as Orion’s hair?” I questioned her with a small teasing smile on my lips.Roxanne rolled her eyes so hard they nearly disappeared into the back of her skull. “I will actually smother you in this bath if you don’t get up right now.”I let out a laugh, “so what’s the occasion tonight?” I questioned.She widened her eyes at
Dahlia ~“Because of how desperate you seem to be,” Kaden murmured, as though his words were for my ears alone, but they managed to sound across the arena. “I will offer you help.”My heart was still working overtime from the pain of my loss, my utter failure, now he came to make things worse by calling me desperate in front of everyone. Was he trying to break me finally?My knees were still dug into the scorching sand, while my hands trembled against my lap. Suddenly, the sheer number of people in the Arena unnerved me for the first time. The ghost of my parents was probably somewhere, too, watching this utterly shameful spectacle.And Kaden, the bastard, genesis of all my troubles, was looking at me as though I was the only thing worth seeing.A slow smirk spread on his lips. “Join my court, Maeve. As my mistress.”The world stilled as his words settled on.Mistress? As in, his little whore?The word pierced through my chest like a splintered arrow, twisting itself in my ribs. Wha
Dahlia ~“The next trial commences now,” the elder announced, and there was a hushed silence in the Arena. Tension was thick as people wondered who would finally win this.I wondered how many people who were not Scarvyn’s bet on me to win, probably not much.The three remaining contestants stood at the center of the scorching sand, Merikh, Meridian, and me, Maeve. The three M’s. A cruel joke from the gods, I was sure.“In the Trial of Temptation, you will each be placed in isolation. There will be no audience to watch you. No one to guide you,” he looked at us closely.And then he continued, “To be Luna, one must know how to resist their own desires for the good of their people. If you succumb to temptation, you are disqualified. But if you break the veil…” he paused for a dramatic moment, “You will win.”What would be my temptation? I wondered to myself before the gong sounded and the environment changed. I fell into darkness and a dimly lit chamber came into focus. A table sat in
Dahlia ~“The Huntress trials are next,” the elder announced, his voice reverberated through the arena. “And there are no rules this time, you must also remember that this is a completion, here, there are no friends, only contestants.”A ripple of tension spread through the remaining contestants as though they understood something that I was finding rather hard to grasp.My spine stiffened as I caught the shift in the air, as the temperature had dropped, like something dangerous had just been unleashed.Across the sand, Merikh locked eyes with me, her gaze held an emotion that caused my stomach to tighten with caution.“Each of you has a creature assigned to you,” the elder continued. “You will not be told what it is. But you should know when you find it. If you fail to bring back the correct one, you will be disqualified. You must learn to trust your instincts.”He let that sink in before adding, “And remember… you are huntresses. But you are also prey.”I'm not prey, I tried to rem
Dahlia ~One second I was standing on the scorching sand, and the next, I was immersed in a darkness so dark and inky that it brought a wave of fear into my mind.And then there was a blinding flash and I flinched, my house art hammered in my chest as the darkness peeled away to reveal a vast maze.From where I stood it looked endless and terrifying with a ghastly mist swirling on the bottom. The sky above was an unnatural shade of gold, the air was warm and filled with tension. We were in a completely different place now, but I knew the audience still watched every single thing.The fifteen of us stood at different entry points along the maze’s outer ring. The walls of the maze were high, towering mirrors that stretched endlessly in both directions, reflecting distorted versions of us.I clenched my fists. This was supposed to be a test of intelligence, I had no idea how that would work.But it surely meant this wasn’t about brute strength, rather it was about strategy and critical
Dahlia ~“Wake up Maeve, It’s time.”I groaned as I slowly covered my face with a pillow and Sienna— no, Roxanne ripped my cozy blanket off me.“Five more minutes please,” I mumbled into my pillow.“You don’t have five minutes,” she said. “Unless you want to stumble into the arena half-naked and barefoot.”Yep, that woke me up real quick and I sat up on the bed and scratched my hair.I rubbed my face, trying to shove the memory of Kaden’s words last night into a locked box at the back of my mind, but it wasn’t cooperating. Every time I blinked, I saw him again.Fuck.“You’re thinking about him, aren’t you?”I snapped my gaze to Roxanne, who was now leaning against the bedpost. Her arms were crossed, and an annoying smirk was playing on her lips. I scowled. “Who?”She raised a brow. “Oh, I don’t know. His name starts with K and he wants to burn someone to a crisp and throw their remains into the sea… ring any bells?”I threw a pillow at her face and she dodged it easily, laughing.I f
