I could hear the drums outside on the field but the slaves were not allowed to watch the competition. Only a few guards and selected slaves were allowed to watch the fight competition.I didn't know what was going through but I could hear the chants for Raymond. It was very obvious most people wanted Raymond to win because Blake disappointed them by refusing to kill me. Why would they make the competition visible to only few slaves and guards if they weren't planning something? I was sure they wanted to do something evil or manipulate the competition in Raymond's favour. I couldn't seem to trust them.As soon as I finished eating, I dropped the plate in the kitchen sink and found Nessa on the hallway. "Are you ready to escape this night?" She asked.I was taken aback by her question. Why would she ask me this all of a sudden? It only meant that Raymond would win and Blake would lose. I know she already told me I would escape tonight but I just wasn't ready to leave Blake.I looked he
As we all ran towards the announcement hall after we heard the bell, I knew something was up but I didn't know what it was.I only had one person on my mind and I knew I would do anything to protect him..It was my first time entering the announcement hall, it was so big and beautiful. "What do you think they're planning?" Henry inquired...I didn't know but I knew it had something to do with Blake's defeat. "I know it has to do with Blake. I'm just waiting to see what those animals want to do to him."Beside me, I could hear two girls that were in attendance at the competition gossiping. "Blake put up a good fight but I'm still happy he lost. He's nothing but a loser and he deserved to lose. He can go to hell for all I care." The first girl said.Even without looking back to know she was, I already knew her heart was full of evil and wickedness."Same here, I'm happy he lost if not he would keep on protecting that useless witch." The second girl interrupted my thoughts.Hatred blind
I stepped out and stood in front, facing Raymond and Princess Kieran. "He doesn't have anything to do with this, I can't blame him that he fell in love with me. Please let him go." I said.Princess Kieran scoffed with annoyance. "Shameless slut, how dare you talk to my brother? Aren't you that shameless?" Princess Kieran hurled at me with insults but I ignored her which made her feel less important.Raymond stared at me, indifferently with a smile on his face. I knew he was thinking and I was ready to give into him just for Blake to be saved, I was ready to do anything. "Why shouldn't I kill him?" He inquired."I would do anything you want but please don't kill him."He slowly walked towards me and placed his hands on my chest, slowly moving his hands down my breasts. His hands seemed like fire around my body and I wanted to stab him there at once. He was so annoying. He looked at my breasts with a big smile on his face. I stole a glance at Princess Kieran, she wasn't having any bit
My eyes fluttered open, awakening from the alarm on the phone that was placed on the table. A phone??? I could use that to call someone and request for help. How did a phone even get here?Wait, that was a very foolish idea. I didn't know anyone's number apart from mine. Even if I did find someone, how am I going to explain everything to them? Do I even know this location? Will they even believe me? It was definitely a very foolish thought. Something wasn't adding up and I knew it, I woke up in an unfamiliar room. Where was I? I couldn't seem to remember what happened last night. Rubbing my eyes, I tried to sit up and turn off the alarm because the noise was so disturbing. I suddenly felt that there was something wrong... 'W...why am I naked? And, what... what on Earth is going on?!' My hands went to my mouth as I tried to suppress my sream. Rubbing her temples, I tried to recall the series of events that happened to me yesterday.I could remember the guards bringing me into this
I arrived at the hall and quickly found Henry, I stood beside him as Sophia left, she was clearly uncomfortable by my presence and I didn't care. I had always wanted to get rid of that fake friendship and I was so glad I got rid of it."Where did you go? I didn't even know when you left me. I just turned back and found out that you weren't there."I moved closer to him and whispered in his ear, "I went to see Blake."He was surprised, he probably didn't know I would take that bold step. "What happened? How did it go? Did the guards allow you in?" His numerous questions sent me off guard."Yeah, I managed to speak with him. I hope the vampire king do not kill him if he is given to them. I'll kill myself if anything bad happened to him." I answered."It was a really smart idea."I looked around and noticed that the kings that were around during my first time at the court. I could still remember Alpha Blake saving me from these men that day.Princess Kieran was seated with her father, Ki
My heart beating in my chest, I didn't know what to expect.Will he command me to a torture session? I didn't even know it worked, I was so scared."Get up and strip, Whore!" He commanded, standing up with a grin on his face.The other kings were in the room and for the first time, I couldn't pick up what the man was thinking or feeling. It was something to be afraid of because I didn't know the men.. I knew he was trying to embarrass me in front of them for his sexual desire.But now, his face remained as expressionless as the others. My hands turned sweaty, my face became pale. I got up and started removing my clothes one after another. I removed the pins on my hair, loosening it wildly. Then, I removed everything from my corset down to my underthings.Naked, I tried not to stare at any of them, her gaze pinned to the ground. I had never been so embarrassed in my entire life. "To the table." King Raymond's stern and authoritative voice came again sending a shiver down my spine.I
After I received the lashes of whip on my back, I stood up and it didn't seem to have an effect on me. I had suffered enough that I didn't seem to hide the pain. I was struggling to not cry as my back seemed to hurtPrincess Kieran was frustrated because I didn't show signs of pain. If King Raymond had not stopped her, she probably wouldn't have left me alone. "What are you? A stupid sorcerer?"The frustration could be seen in their faces. "We have something important to discuss," he told her and turned to look at me. "You're now my personal slave but this doesn't make you greater or bigger than the other slaves. You're just like every other slave, stupid and useless. You'll continue to work with them until the new competition." He told me.I frowned.A new competition? What did that mean? Was there going to be twists I didn't expect? Since they wanted me out of their miserable lives, I knew they would do anything they could to make me weak.I nodded. "Yes master."Princess Kieran chi
Chaos? Trouble? Love triangle?I was more than confused and scared at this point. I didn't know what to expect. As I walked back to the room, I discovered that it was getting dark already and I needed to sleep. I had spent the whole day thinking about what she said."Hey hailey, your face looks pale. Are you disturbed by anything?" Henry inquired, concerned.I didn't want to tell him anything because I didn't want to raise his hopes high even though I knew I could never love him. I only saw him as a friend who stood by me when I needed help and that was all."Nothing, I'm just tired from stress."He threw a pillow at me. "I got these from another rooms and washed them for you this morning. I figured out that you might develop an head ache if you kept sleeping without a pillow." He explained.A smile plastered on my face. He was just too kind and lovely towards me. He was the kind of friend that was loyal and overprotective and I loved him for that."Thanks so much."He nodded and wink
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
