The Prey

last update Terakhir Diperbarui: 2025-04-27 11:58:59

Considering the downfall of my lucky stars I experienced in less than a day, I should’ve known it was hard to escape an amused predator.

I was not ready.

Not at all.

Not really.

I fisted both sides of the chair to grab onto something.

Judas sauntered inside with his infuriating grin on display as if he owned every single particle of life in this damned universe and everyone in it. Kyle strode on his side like his general.

For a small moment, I lost control over my emotions. And despite the fear, what I felt rushing through my veins was hot anger. He deceived me. Played with me. And I hated to feel pity for a man like him. I didn’t know or care to know why he pretended to be blind, but the things he made me go through, he practically toyed with me. From the very first moment.

There was no denying that he was a criminal.

And no matter how much I screamed or cried, he didn’t have a single feeling nerve in his bod

  • Serpentine Desires    The Prey

    It felt surreal, too bizarre. I hadn’t expected Judas to let me go, or even let Kyle drive me to the dorms. Throughout the ride, I was staring out the window. What do I do now? How was I going to escape from this damn country in four days? Something about him told me he wasn’t bluffing when he said he would drag me back to him if I defy him.And I didn’t know what was I to do anymore. I was out of the options.No legal authorities could save me, and I feared that anything higher than him existed.Did that mean I had to sleep with him?I shivered.No, no, no.I’d think of something. Where there was a will, there was a way, right?Why was I even considering to sleep with him? That man was a psycho on the run. I had no resources, no alliances and no one I could trust. Should I take Ivan’s help? No. Not him. Trusting Ivan felt like jumping from the frying pan into the fire.Kyle pulled up in front of t

    Next two days were as horrifying as the last. They went in a blur. And I never imagined I’d want Monday to last for a lifetime.Alina was with me at the university. She barely left my side even in the cafeteria. I was grateful, to be honest, but the snarky remarks students would throw my way didn’t help with my anxiety.She’s a killer.Police arrested her.I heard she was bailed out. That’s not possible unless she has some ties.I can’t believe she killed Donatello Morani just for some drugs.All the things going to my head were making me wish to jump off a cliff. The classes went in a blur, even professors eyed me warily. I was sure the whole university knew about the situation by now. Alina even snapped at a few of the girls, but I hated how my life had turned into this chaotic mess, and no matter how hard I tried to find some semblance of normalcy, it kept slipping further away.I had two more da

    I gulped.Didn’t Kyle say he’d pick me up? What was this psycho doing here? He shouldn’t be here.I swallowed again, but my mouth was dry, so it didn’t soothe the itchiness lodged in my throat. I did not reply. I just couldn’t. Eyes were staring at me. People around me were gasping, some even pulled out their phones and I heard the haunting sounds of cameras clicking.“What is she doing with him?”“Why is she with him?”Of course, people would question when their beloved bachelor would be found hugging a girl in front of the university. Some unknown, good-for-nothing girl. A desperate girl who sold her soul to the devil just for money. They would gossip. Make me the guilty one. No one would believe me.Breath caught in my lungs. No escape. Trapped in his arms. It was a vortex of despair.The cold hands were strangely warm as the hold tightened and I flinched as his fingers dug into my waist and I was abruptly turned around. Eyes bore into my soul, stripping away the facade. Judging. C

    Patience had never been a resort when it came to things a human wanted in the frisk of the moment. Ninety-nine percent of cases often ended in impulsive actions, fueled by the urgent need for immediate satisfaction. Desires were rarely quelled by logic or reason; they burned bright and fierce, demanding attention and fulfilment without delay.But that one per cent… was the glitch.I ruled that part.At least that’s what I believed.The fact that I had perfectly mastered the art of patience set me apart from the impulsive masses. While others succumbed to their desires, allowing them to dictate their actions, I thrived in the one per cent.Yet, even the most controlled mind can be tested.My fucking belief in my patience was defied the moment I saw her with that fucker.Ah, the irony.The one thing I thought I had in spades, crumbling because of a simple, fleeting glance. Their proximity stirred something dark and twisted within me.The urge to create havoc, to destroy everything she h

  • Serpentine Desires    Prologue

    The biting Russian cold welcomed her as she stepped off the plane, a fleeting mist forming in the frigid air as she breathed out in nervousness.It clung to her senses, contrasting the warmth of Texas where her family was. She thought leaving behind the suffocating struggles would ease her stress. Instead, it only fuelled her anxiety more. She still didn't know what she was doing there or how she ended up in Russia. Her only answer was the scholarship letter and three hundred dollars that she exchanged at the airport earlier.Though she was told that the scholarship included her tuition fee and dorm, she still had to pay for yearly semester fees and living expenses.A sigh left her lips with mist as she dragged the luggage to the exit. The paper in her hand was wrinkled as she read the address written on it: Star Square-lane 25-building 56. She wondered how far it was.Her heart raced as she clutched the strap of her worn backpack. It was her first time visiting a foreign land all alo

    I was tired, so tired I couldn't even lift a finger. My back was screaming at me for being a superwoman last night and my buttocks were sore. God damnit! Not even a week and I already wanted to go back.Lord knew why I decided to be a saviour when I knew I was a blind owl. Couldn't even see without my glasses, and now, not only was I left with a broken elbow and sprained foot, but broken glasses too. I got them fixed before moving to Russia, and now it'd take another sum of money to repair them. Great. Looks like my clumsy ass come with a price tag – and not the discounted kind. Brilliant."You up, Dorogaya?" She walked through the bathroom door wearing nothing but a towel. I quickly averted my eyes, feeling my cheeks warming. Despite the Russian cold, Alina preferred wearing less clothes than a sunbathing lizard. "Had breakfast?"I continued packing my bag in a hurry, realizing I had less than twenty minutes left for class. "I don't have enough time for breakfast," I grabbed the assi

    "I'm so sorry, dear, but we need someone who can… understand… take… orders?"Rejection number six.I forced a tight-lipped smile, nodding as if I hadn't already heard variations of this all day. No matter how much I tried to explain, the answer was always the same. They needed someone local, someone fluent, someone who wouldn’t make their job harder. And honestly? I couldn't even blame them."It’s fine," I swallowed my frustration.But it wasn’t fine."Have a good day."I hesitated. That’s it? Not even a second of consideration? I needed this job—desperately. My fingers curled tighter around my bag strap as I bit back the urge to plead. Instead, I turned on my heel and walked out, head held high despite the burning sting of rejection gnawing at my chest.Lucky number seven, right?The bitter cold greeted me as I stepped outside, icy tendrils creeping through my jeans like little reminders of just how unprepared I was for this country. I shoved my hands into my pockets, rubbing them to

    I swallowed hard, suddenly not wanting to go in. He said child, but I feared that my assumptions would go to Pacific. Anyway, it was too late to back now. I was here for a job.The door opened quietly and a soft, dim light illuminated the room. I stepped in. Breaths caught in my throat. My heart pounding in my ears. The door closed behind me with a small thud, and I jumped startled.Swallowing down the nervousness, I took a look around. It was not a bedroom, but a large room bifurcated into an office and a mini-lounge. My nostrils twitched. Among the scent of leather and patchouli everywhere, there was a strong smell of tobacco mixed in it, but beyond that, there was a heavy odour of Oud. Somehow, it reminded me of the forest behind my house in Texas. So familiar yet distant. Something I was always scared to explore. Wild beasts and deadly creatures resided there.And this moment it felt like I was going into that forest. Something flickered in my periphery, my body instinctively mov

    "Found you, ptichka," he whispered. "Now it's time to play."For the first time, his eyes focused and not wavering, and I realised he was not blind. The realization hit me like a punch to the gut, making the fear pound even harder in my chest.This… this couldn’t be possible. How could it be...My lips parted as I looked at him in utter disbelief and startling shock. “This-“His blade pressed against my neck harder and I winced taking in a shuddering breath.His eyes whirled in darkness, like a storm ready to strike me."You make any sound," he warned in a low menacing growl, "I have plenty of ways to shut you up."I swallowed as he pressed the blade deeper, and I winced at the sting. He was towering over me, his body looming like a dark, menacing shadow. His knees were pinning my legs down, and his free hand gripped my wrist, holding it painfully against the floor.I looked around, hoping someone would

    I ran.As far as my feet could take me.My limbs throbbed with pain and my chest burned as I frantically pressed the buttons on the elevator. Shadows flickered behind me, and every noise sent shivers down my spine. The silence was deafening, broken only by the sound of my ragged breathing.To my horror, it terrified me more when I didn't see him or Kyle after me.It was like he was giving me time to run, knowing that in the end, he'd come find me.My heart pounded even harder. The elevator doors creaked open with an eerie groan, and I stumbled inside, pressing the close button repeatedly. The doors finally closed, and I collapsed against the wall, sliding down to the floor, crying and groaning.Why? Why did it have to be me?I buried my face in my palms, my lips throbbing painfully where the demon of a man had bitten me. The memory of his cold eyes and cruel smile was enough to shake me to the core. In less than a few hours he h

    There was nothing weaker than a man who couldn’t see and it was a perfect mask for my plans. I’d let them underestimate me. They believed in their own lies of morality, their façades of righteousness. Pathetic. They prance around, acting like saints, while their demons lurk just beneath the surface.I embrace my demons. I let them out to play.She trembled beside me, her eyes wide with terror, yet she didn’t look away. That was the beauty of it. The irony of fear—it’d bind you to the very thing you want to escape from.Humans, wolves, vampires—whatever label you slap on them, it didn’t matter.Strip away the veneer, and we were all just predators. Some hide behind masks of civility; I wore mine with pride. That’s what my father taught me. That’s what I grew up to.The elevator dinged, and the doors slid open. I grabbed her arm, not too tight, just enough to remind her who was in control.

    The fear on my little bird’s face could only make my blood roar with excitement.It had been a while since I felt this way.If it were someone else, I’d be ninety-nine per cent sure I would’ve thrown her out of the window for there was very little patience I could spend. Such was the state of my cock that had, once again, crossed the impulse control red line. Her tear-stained red face was more exciting than any woman I have ever fucked.And the reason was nothing more than making her cum on my fingers unwillingly.I stripped her of control she never had to begin with.It was the first time I felt such blasphemous monotony shattered by the sight of someone’s tears. The way she pressed herself against the car window as if it could somehow save her from me, was enticing beyond measure.I could see her mind racing, trying to find a way out, but there was none.I had given her a choice, but it was a choice rigged in my favour.
