"Do you know about any council?" I asked Henry as soon as I got back into the room.I reckoned he wasn't going to know but I decided to ask anyway. It wasn't a bad idea to ask him.He shook his head and stared at me suspiciously. "No, I don't know what you mean by that. What happened? You're having a kind of scared and curious expression on your face."I explained everything that happened in Princess Kieran's room and he was surprised to find out that I confronted her and King Raymond couldn't do anything about it."I'm really confused."His eyes were still wide-open. "Really? Hailey, you took a very risk talking back at the Princess and confronting her. You're only putting a wide target on your back and they are going to come for you." He told me.I knew that but I just couldn't resist the opportunity to lash out at her and confront her for always trying to get rid of me when she couldn't do it herself."I was pissed off at that moment and I didn't know what I was doing. Gosh, what w
He made me lie down on his bed with the fear that he was probably going to do something nasty to me in the midnight. I was battling it hard not to sleep but my eyes were closing each time I tried to keep it open.He covered me with the bedspread so I wouldn't feel cold and laid on the bed. He was such a snake, how could he change characters so easily? And why was he trying to be so nice to me? He was such a pretender.As I thought about him, I fell into the desperate arms of sleep. It certainly didn't feel like I had slept for five minutes because I woke up because of the alarm clock near me. As soon as my eyes opened, I didn't make the mistake of closing them again. I sat up and found a tray with Green tea.Was he trying to poison me like he did to Blake? I wasn't going to fall his for his extra kindness because I knew he was just doing this so he doesn't get himself into trouble. Princess Kieran had messed things up for him so he was trying to correct it.I wondered what to do with
Surprisingly, Princess Kieran called me into her room with a smile on her face that appeared forced. I was going to pretend along with her so she wouldn't know anything. "Hope you slept well last night?"I was taken back by her question as I stared at her in shock. I definitely wasn't expecting that. Nodding, I murmured, "I did,"She giggled excitedly. "Yeah, I was the one who suggested to my brother to make you stay in his room last night. I'm also sorry for yesterday, I shouldn't have sent my guards to do that to you."I didn't even know she could apologize to me. It felt great knowing that they were all afraid something terrible was going to happen to them. They've been wicked to me and they deserved to pay for everything."I'm not angry with anyone, ma'am."She was restless as she caressed her pillow and stared at me, she looked worried. "Is there anything you want? I could ask the guards to get it for you." I shook my head, I didn't need anything from an evil wolf, I would nev
The guards took me into the cell and left me there for more than two days. They obviously wanted to kill me before the Council arrived. Princess Kieran had also threatened to drag me along with them if they were going down.Two days in that cell wasn't easy, Henry and Nessa tried many times to visit me but they were stopped by the guards and weren't allowed into the cell.On the third day, I had begin to give up and feel weak. They didn't feed me more three days and I felt so exhausted and sick. I was sure my face looked pale at that particular moment. I begged for water from one of the guards and they wouldn't even give me. I didn't know what to do again, I felt heartbroken and dead. I had began to lose hope that someone would ever saved me.Flashbacks of my life before I got into this whole experience began to hit me and I felt like crying. This was probably my last day on Earth but I just couldn't imagine leaving Blake alone. The more I tried to believe he would save me, the more
When I woke up, I found myself in a big room and I was dressed in a white gown. I still felt dizzy but managed to stand up. What happened? Where was I?The door was locked so I couldn't leave the room. I was devasted but as I looked through the window, I discovered I was still in the palace. I sighed in relief and returning to the bed.I found remember falling down but I couldn't remember what happened next. Where was everybody? What happened? I rubbed my tummy as soon as I remembered I was once pregnant. What happened to my baby?The door suddenly opened and a guard walked in with a smile on his face happy to see me. I didn't know if I had seen him before but I was still scared. The trauma I experienced still frightened me to the extent that I didn't know who to trust."What happened?" I asked as I sat up and leaned on the wall. "I'm Aaron, one of your new bodyguard.""Bodyguard?" I was surprised.He nodded. "Yes Miss Hailey, Blake and the council has succeeded in capturing the evil
As soon as I got there, I found King Raymond and Princess Kieran in the cell. It was finally relieving to see my enemies in the cell."Isn't it finally great that I'm the one laughing now? I think it's true when they said he who laughs last laughs best." I mocked them with a big grin on my face.Now, the ball was in my court and I was going to make them pay for all their crimes. King Raymond spat on the floor, he still hasn't changed. "You're only lucky because the council helped you guys. You would lost if you had no help.""It's still doesn't change the fact that you're in my custody and I would soon be announced as Queen," I turned to Princess Kieran. "You even tried to seduce Alpha Blake with the hope that he would fall for your tricks but guess what, I'm his mate and your plans didn't work.""It's not over yet so don't be excited that we're in here."Yeah, they weren't getting what I was just saying. It was over and it was so painful for them to accept."All your plans didn't wo
Everyone was seated down in the hall, I was seated on the other side of the throne and Blake was also sitting next to me. In front of me, four handsome young men which I suspected to be the council.They had long black hairs that touched their backs and they looked really young. I became surprised when Blake whispered and told me that they were the council. I was expecting them to be old but they weren't."They're the Council with a lot of powers, they make the rules, regulations and traditions. They also have the power to make themselves young and they can never get old." He told me as everyone occupied their seats.I stared at them and they stared back at me. Neither of them had smiles on their faces but without the smile, they still looked cute. "I don't know what to think but I think they're cute." I whispered back.He smiled. "They are cute, I'm glad I summoned them on time."The guards brought Raymond and Princess Kieran and made them stand up facing all of us in the hall. I ha
As soon as we entered the room, I was annoyed by the decision to accept the punishment the council would give him, I tried my best to convince him to refuse but he didn't ask me to pay. word. My heart rate increased rapidly. "We only get back together after what we've been through. I can't lose you again, I don't want you to accept the punishment they'll give you." He shook his head and put his hand on my shoulder, trying to help me relax but I didn't. "I did something terrible and this is how I make amends. Nothing can separate us if we want to be together. " I just felt uneasy by his words, I felt like he was trying to make me feel good but I couldn't. It was a very bad decision on his part that got him in trouble. “Aren't you selfish? I had to ask him. He ignores me and walks to the window holding a glass of water from the bedside cabinet. "I'm not selfish, I just do what's good for us. I was also one of the bad guys before you changed my life and I fell in love with you. I
Lisa's POV After I finished my makeup, my mother rushed into the room. She said, 'Your future husband is here, don't keep him waiting,' and without waiting for me to say a word, she left immediately. I was annoyed that she didn't even ask for my opinion or wanted to know if I liked. She didn't even care for me. All she wanted was for me to make money for her by getting married to a billionaire. She didn't care about me at all and it was annoying and also sad. Parents should never treat their children like TRASH. They should never do that to their children. It's funny that she thought I was going to marry him. "Mom really doesn't care. I'm the one dating, but I don't mind at all," she tweeted. "Maybe you don't know who you're going to date. I need to remind you. Tom Cruise, the actor on the romantic action series everyone talked about. His parents' estate He is automatically rich because of the 'I knew you remembered' film he acted. He played the role of Charles, an innocent man.
Lisa's POV She rolls her hips back and forth, her hips beginning to tighten under his weight to meet his arms. He tried to cover his face, but his mouth fell open to gasp. She smiled and slowed down, pressing herself against him as he stabbed her. The door opened and Lisa walked in and I slowly was pushing the book under the pillow. I was with my new family now and I was back to human. I couldn't remember anything again but I was told my name was Lisa Reynold. They claimed it was an accident and I believed them. "Hey, what are you doing?" Maya asked with a big smile on her face. According to what they told me, Maya Angela has been my best friend since high school and she really enjoys our friendship. We advise and help each other. We are actually more than sisters because of our love for each other. "Hey honey, I'm not doing anything. I'm just reading" I replied. He hit me with his tongue. I asked "A book?" He licked her lips and asked the next question without hesitatio
I follow him to the end and watch from the darkness. With the key in hand, he approaches a parked police car, unlocks it, and hops inside. The car rattles and creaks from the curb. I sigh as I look at the receding taillights. Yes, he was there but I hoped he wasn't there with his people and whoever he was, I was so ready to find out already.It was good, but not satisfactory. These side streets of the city are too narrow. My heart is pounding with tremendous excitement. My legs hurt from the accumulated energy. The wind is blowing from the south and the pungent smell of cold blood is in the air. Someone had just been killed in the night for probably a wolf sacrifice. You think about going to the beach, imagining walking on the beach with freezing water beating your feet, but it's not safe. If you want to run, you have to go to the canyon.Almost half an hour later, I am standing on top of a hill. My nose twitches as I take in the trail of smoldering illicit leaf fires in a nearby gar
Three Months LaterAlpha Blake was sleeping next to me. From now on, we will turn to humans at any time of the day. It's another reason why I shouldn't have left, sneaked back in the middle of the night, and come back with a bunch of flimsy excuses. He will work late tomorrow. If only it could wait another day. My temples started to flicker. The burning sensation on my skin spread to my arms and legs. Anger formed a tight ball in his stomach and threatened to explode. I didn't imagine we would break up but it finally did. After I was his mate and saved him from the curse, he betrayed me with Georgie and tried to make her his mate. I have to get out of here, I'm running out of time. I played with him one night before our breakup. It's almost two in the morning, it's already late because of this madness, I'm going to sleep. Four nights of memorizing to meet the deadline wore me out. It didn't matter. The patches of skin on the back of my knees and elbows hurt and now burn. My heart wa
Blake's POVCursing under his breath, he stepped out of the house and down the path to the pier, Andrew running behind me. Why would he bring a stranger to the academy? We weren't done with Alex and we heard that he escaped from prison. I looked up as he stepped onto the podium. Duych wagged his tail and leaned over to greet me. “Beautiful dog,” I muttered petting the dog, then, with a worried look on my face, I flashed Andrew a big smile and stepped forward, arms outstretched. We quietly hugged and he backed away. “You brought guests in,” I said, staring at him, then turning to the girl.She looked like she's somewhere in her teens. She wears a pair of ripped blue jeans and a black unzipped hoodie over a crumpled T-shirt with a cross print. "Is she a human or a wolf?" I asked curiously. Up close, I could see that his spiky hair was dark blue rather than black. Two gold rings pierce her right eyebrow and she has a nail in her right nostril. A large gray mouse perched on her left sh
Blake's POVIt's been days now and Hailey still hasn't come back. After that experience that almost killed the guy Georgie sent to help me, I became very scared and unproductive. I didn't want to endanger myself or put anyone else's life in danger but the more I stayed without doing anything, the more lives I was getting in danger. I have never been so confused and scared for her. I just know his life is in danger. She might as well be with this demon but I don't know where. I don't want her to go through that trauma again. I tried to report the incident to the main officials and school authorities but she advised me not to do so as she did not want to put Alex in danger, I stopped.I wish she understood that she was putting herself in jeopardy instead. Days had passed and I still hadn't seen her. I decided to meet with Mr. James again since he was one of the reasonable and trustworthy officers of the Institute. He's the only person I can really put my trust in. He seemed surprised
Lisa's POVTrust me. Yes, she can give him that. "I trust you. And I love you." A deep kiss was his reward, and a small shock when he pursed his bottom lip. Still clutching his arm, he entered his shell, startling her with long, slow strokes. His eyes were fixed on hers. She wanted to shield herself from the intensity but couldn't seem to get out. Her fangs were stretched out and it was so erotic that her body tingled with excitement. She careful wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him Extreme deeper. When he lowered his mouth to her neck, she didn't stop him. She trusted that he would not take her blood without her permission. His teeth scraped lightly against his skin, sending sparks up to his toes. He kissed up to her collarbone, scrubbing hard, then licking her cleavage. He put a hand between their struggling bodies and pressed down on her aching clitoris. She almost flew off her skin. "And you say you're still in love with Blake? Your body doesn't tell me that way. Ca
Author's POVAlex and HaileyHe pressed his knees against her back, holding her still as she squirmed and kicked. It wasn't a smart decision, she realized too late. Her skirt had been undone and with the handcuffs she was at his mercy. He chuckles and kneads one globe first and then the other, giving each one a joyful clapping. "I like you more like that." "Purely scammers," she spat. "What's your stupid rule again? Always be prepared to fight the dirt in a dirty way." She sighed in defeat and dropped her cheeks on the cold ground. "Okay, okay. You won. Now let me go. I don't want to have anything to do with you."He chuckled softly. "You should be happy, I uncuffed you. I've been stuck in this damn cave for three days with you," he whispered in her ear roughly. "Three days with nothing to do but plot my revenge." "Don't do that to Blake. He would never hurt you." Chills ran down her spine and her insides constricted. What did he think? He grabbed her arm and pulled her up.
Since no one believed me about Hailey, I decided to look for her by myself. All around me, the lone crickets making noise clamored for company, and in my chest, my heartbeat was slow and steady, even as my mind worked overtime, thinking of ways to look for Hailey. After a while, the same voice spoke again, but further away, as if traveling with the wind now. "Stay strong, honey. I have been waiting for you. Was this an angel? Or perhaps the Moon Goddess? Even though I was still convinced that no one was actually talking to him, I still couldn't help asking the voice a question, even though I really wasn't expecting an answer. "Who are you?" "I am your past, present and future. I am your DESTINY!" `"You are my destiny? I don't understand what you mean…" This time, the only response I received was a faint jingle of bells. "Of course," I whispered, "I can't live anymore." I would never be so brave in real life. But if this is heaven, why is it dark and cold? Am I dead? Whe
