Sally's POVHis hand that had been on my waist before moved down to the nape of my neck, embracing me in a deeper kiss. And his hand still on my waist gripped my skin tighter. I gasped, it would bruise. But what I thought was gasping for air, he must have thought differently because I think I felt something down there nudging my lady parts slightly.I can't let anything go to my head because this is revenge for what he did to me before and then tried to make me jealous. I know it's cruel, but a girl has to do what's right for her, especially when she's stubborn and stubborn like me.The grip he had on my waist earlier, loosened as it moved to my tightly clasped bra. I can't let him take over the game, otherwise I'll lose. Shaking my head, I whispered. "Take your time."He seemed distracted by me, which meant he wasn't on his guard. Smiling to myself, I stretched my right hand behind the waistband of my underwear and pulled out the handcuffs that Athena gave me, the kind the police usu
Sally's POVThe second he started tickling my belly, I was enjoying the moment of my life with my chosen soulmate to spend the rest of my life with.“I didn't know Miss Sally here was ticklish.” He seemed surprised, and I'm pretty sure he'll use this against me soon.“Say my name, I'll stop. Promise." He said as he continued to tickle me.If it weren't for his strong arm, I would have fallen to the ground, rolling around in tears. I tried to wiggle out of his grip, but when you're ticklish and in a situation like that, you're at a disadvantage."Alright." I gave up, and he immediately stopped. Taking a deep breath, I said. “Ryan,”And I swear, as soon as his name left my lips, his eyes sparkled with joy, looking like a kid in a candy store.“Say that again,” He closed the distance between us.I chuckled but repeated his name. “Ryan,”"Again,"This time, gently but firmly, his name came out “Ryan” boldly and strongly. The fact that he even asked me to constantly call him by his first n
Sally's POV“What surprised us was when we found out he was your soulmate.” She raised her eyebrows teasingly.I growled. “Grandma,”I grumbled. “Do you know we just broke up?”She gave me a sad smile. "I know. Your grandfather and I feel - no, feel very guilty about it. Because we know that we are mainly the reason. And we are very sorry.”I shook my head with a gentle smile on my lips. “It's okay, grandma. Everything has been arranged."She nodded sadly. “He's stupid for a boy his age, yes, but everyone's confused, Sally.” She sighed again.Taking a sip of tea, the woman asked. "Do you remember when you passed out after your first tattoo ceremony?"I tilted my head to the side. “That's it. Why? What does it have to do with what we're talking about now?” I inquired.She gave me another forced smile. “It has everything to do with the first mark your grandfather placed on you. Darling, we may not be witches or have witch blood, but every ritual we perform is magic and spells. Your firs
Sally's POV“How did the Scorpion King kill James?”The woman sighed sadly. “You should know that the venom of supernatural creatures is much more dangerous than that of ordinary animals. The chemical in the Scorpion Ghost's poison is almost the same as silver. So one blow can kill both a werewolf and a vampire at the same time.”“What happened to the Scorpion King and his son?”My grandmother was silent for a moment before continuing. “The Scorpion King is dead. His son was taken away by the Scorpion King's mother, the former queen. She and the boy are gone.”“Are they still alive?”She sighed. “That's the boy. The woman died 3 years ago,”----------I was upstairs, about to go to bed, when I heard a noise coming from downstairs. Because I was the last person in the house to end the evening. My grandmother went to bed an hour earlier than me.She can't get up, right? I need to be sure. Quietly opening the door, I glanced up and down the upstairs hallway, glancing at my grandmother's
Sally's POVEven though she indirectly told me to withdraw my refusal. But him biting me without my consent is another thing that can erase rejection.“My grandmother died because of you,” I repeated, losing my breath mid-sentence. "I hate you." The tears falling from my eyes won't stop.His eyes hid every emotion “Not as much as I hate myself. I'm sorry, Sally.” He approached me cautiously.“I can't,” I shook my head, I was starting to get weak.“I can't live without her, I've lost too much,”I sobbed between words. “Bring her back.” I knelt.Ryan took this opportunity and wrapped his arms around me like armor, he was trying to protect me, comfort me. But I don't want any of it. I just want my grandmother.“Don't you dare touch me?” My voice was full of malice, my eyes filled with disgust.“If you hadn't marked me, I could have saved her.” There is no reason to argue or any reason against me.“Now, she is dead because of what you did. For your selfish needs. Because of you."“The onl
Third person POVAfter the ceremony ended, they returned home and gathered in the dining room, as this was the largest room in the house. Everyone is acting like this is the end of the world. They thought the throne was still unoccupied, so they wanted to poke their claws into it.Sally sat on the front seat, where her grandfather once conquered. Eventually, she got fed up with these people talking as if she wasn't even in the room."Silent." Her voice echoed throughout the room filled with warning.Everyone sat still, shock evident on their faces. To be honest, Sally was the same, she could hear the authority her voice gave off.“Grandpa assigned me to be the leader of the Donne family, now you are all under my care. The leader was my replacement to cope and prepare myself after my grandfather passed away. You all know that. There are no valid arguments to change anything. The old man gave me the throne for a reason, but I still haven't found the reason.”Sally looked at each of them
Third person POVSally tried not to snap and control her anger, breathing in and out. "I'm fine. I just need to get this done.”Another thing that bothers her is the itching and discomfort in her back. Moving her shoulders uncomfortably, pain was evident on her face."Are you ok?" Kingsley asked this time.Sally clenched and unclenched her fists, breathing in and out again. "I'm fine." But that wasn't when the pain came from her spine.A silent scream had Ryan at her side. "What's up?""I do not know." That was all Sally could say.Ryan picked Sally up bridal style and out the front door, trying to get her to the infirmary. Everyone followed, but as soon as they left the office, Sally fell to the ground.The horrifying scream that escaped Sally's mouth made everyone stand still. Gradually, her family gathered to witness all the commotion. Sally was on her knees, her body arching in pain before falling to all fours.She gasped, and then suddenly the bones in her body twisted, shifted,
Third person POVFrom that day on, Sally did nothing but meet with people from different clans, trying to renew their alliance. Out of all the 7 clans that came today, one clan was rejected by Sally from continuing the alliance that Sally's grandfather and the former leader once built.To put it simply, the young leader is an asshole and too shady for Sally.As noon approached, Ryan became restless and even more wary. Turning to Kingsley and Simon, Sally looked at them quizzically.“He's just upset because there's so much manly smell on you.”As if Kingsley had revealed his deepest secret, Ryan glared at him. Sally giggled at the sight before reaching out and lacing their fingers together, which worked as Ryan immediately calmed down.Sally wasn't the only one stressed all week, although she was mainly focused on her responsibilities as the granddaughter of the former leader, who was trying to fill the void left by the old man. She left behind her other most important responsibility -
