I look towards the window trying to search my memory.“I should remember! I should …..I….Should remember my past” I said.“ Aunt Agnes needs help, she has been through so much since I know her, one man named Ernest just left, he always bully Aunt Agnes, he will take us all away if Aunt Agnes doesn’t pay his money” Ethan said.I look towards the door, Agnes stood with a tray of food and fruits in her arms, the happy beautiful face I saw earlier wasn’t the one I am seeing now, she is suffering because of me and my son.She paused for a while then she tried to wear a smile on her face.“My son told me everything, I promise I will repay you for your good deeds, it’s all because of you that I am alive” I said.“No, you don’t have to do that , I wil save up to sort it out” Agnes said.“ No,I won’t let you do this alone,it’s my duty to pay you back” I said.“You should eat first before it gets cold”Agnes says.Few days later we bonded so well then suddenly I saw my son standing alone, I call
Panic overwhelmed me, but I took another breath. What waited for me beyond the walls of the casino was much, much worse. I had to succeed in this mission. Ethan my son needs me. Agnes and I needed each other, we also have Ernest debt to pay.. Speaking of Ethan , Agnes told me he picked him beside me when she saved me. Agnes might be nasty playing stupid games like this but she is a good friend who cared so much. I can’t blame her too much, she is a doctor with Magic from another pack, she got banished for not being able to control her magic, now she doesn’t even have them anymore because she asked the moon goddess to take them from her. She took care of both me and my son when I was in Coma for good six years, she cater for me and since I had nothing to give back to her , I need to support her. I look around in fear as I keep seeing the kind of place we are , there are so much entourage and it looks as if war was going to begin between those gambling anytime soon. Focus. Pay att

JEFF It was Matt who knocked on the door of my office just after one a.m. I barely heard the rap on the thick wood, my eyeballs burning as I studied the ledgers in front of me. Most of my counterparts had long since learned to rely on machines for their bookkeeping, but I still preferred the old-fashioned way of doing things, my own hand dictating the numbers stored deeply in my memory once I’d written them. “Jeff?” “Hm?” I vaguely nodded for her to enter, still fixated on the pages in front of me. “We’ve had an attempted robbery.” Well, that was enough to get my attention. In the centuries of running my empire, I could count on one hand how many times someone had attempted to steal from me. My gaze flittered upward, eyes narrowing in disbelief. “Come again?” The man nodded, pursing her thin lips together. “The girl didn’t take much, from what I can see, and she appears to be working alone.” I pondered the scenario for a moment and drew an absolute blank. Short of full-on psyc
She pressed her lips together and darted a look at Matt and then the guards. “My son is ill and I needed to get him treated,” she muttered. My brow shot up. “How do you expect me to believe you?.” “It’s true! My son is ill, I should be with him where he would be receiving treatment.” Blood drained from my face, and I fell backward, springing up as quickly as I landed. I bring out my wallet from the back of my pocket, bring out al the money in it. “Take?” I held her hand and stuff the money into her palm. She open her eyes wide looking into my eyes in surprise. I rose to my feet and brushed off my pants, avoiding her eyes as I turned to the guards. “Let her go,” I ordered them. Petyr and Virgil moved toward her without asking questions, and Selina sighed with relief. “You’re not going to kill me, you gave me this instead?” she asked. “Thank you! Thank you so much!” “Don’t come back here,” I growled, pivoting away, the words paining me physically to speak aloud. “Wait!” Selin
There would be no knight in shining armor to protect us from Ernest. I look down to the money in my hand and hope Agnes will be home before I get home.I returned home , I rushed into the small house we both shared had gone, I called out her name.“ Agnes! Anes!! Ethan! Ethan!!.none of them answered me, out of fear I threw the money in my hand away, I felt scared, I rush out of the house again and there where hefty men standing outside, I turn to run inside they grab me tie my hand and legs. I try to struggle but my struggle was useless , those men were stronger than I am.One of the men threw me on his shoulder and took me into the car, they drove us to Ernest place in Covale while my son is my problem, he isn’t so well.They took me into the house where Ernest was, he looked at me from head to toe licking his lips, I shiver but I had to ask about my son.“ Do you have my son and my friend? I asked. He looked at me and smile..“ Yes cutie pie” he replied.“ Can I see them? I asked. H
Ernest’s guards were as useless as he was, easy to avoid as they chatted with each other. No one noticed when I scaled the wall in my lupine form, my skinny, gray legs spanning the barrier to land me on my worn pads. Then I immediately morphed back to my human body, making my way to the small building that Ernest called house.CONTINUEIt was a shack at best. Even the trailer we’d lived in with our mom had more class and elegance than this stinking, ill-kept structure that was bound to fall down with a serious gust of wind.I shut my eyes try to recollect if I had someone I could remember from my past that could help out but my memories from my past felt blankInhaling, I pushed into the shack, a flurry of movement catching my peripheral vision, forcing my heart to pound. For half a second, I thought I’d been caught sneaking back, but Ernest’s inept guards merely laughed over some ridiculous anecdote, their backs to me as I slid inside, unobserved.I sneaked up to Agnes and my son, I
But I knew that wasn’t what it was about at all. It was about those huge doe eyes and pouty lips that made my cock hard every time I dared to think about them. I couldn’t even sit still without my balls tensing as I imagined the damage Selina could do with the flick of her chatty tongue.Don’t be an idiot. She’s sexy. Lots of women are. But lots of women are not attached to Ernest.I tried to tell myself that was her appeal in the first place,her attachment to my enemy but that was an outright lie. I’d been drawn to her gorgeous face, the innocence oozing from her rambling, buttercup mouth from the second I’d laid eyes on her.It didn’t matter. I couldn’t do anything about it or her predicament.Yet the more I tried to put Selina out of my mind, the harder she resurfaced, her plaintive pleas filling my ears, tugging at my heartstrings.That bastard is an animal,I growled, pacing through my office, pausing again to stare into the night. Ernest’s harem of virgins was no secret, but his
“I can’t stop thinking about Selina,” Emilia said wistfully.King turned to face her. “Truthfully, I had also not expected her to do that.”“I was moved by the fact that Selina apologized.”“That’s true,” King agreed. “To be honest, she was the last person I expected to apologize to you.”After Emilia had saved Selina’s life, she had come to apologize to her. It was quite a show of humility as she had gone down on her knees and bowed to the ground before Juniper. Juniper had pleaded with her to get up, but she’d refused to get up until she had said her piece.“I’m sorry for how I treated you growing up,” Selina had said, with teary eyes. “You were right. You never killed Dad. I was always so angry at you for that night, but I never thanked you for saving me that night. And that sucks.“So thank you, Selina. Thank you. Twice you saved my life, and all I ever did was hate you and bully you. I wish I could turn back time and do things differently, but I can’t. Do you think you can forgiv
He let out a sigh of relief, then collapsed on the bed again. His thighs burned something furious and he was afraid of moving too suddenly. He couldn’t deal with a cramp right now.Emilia’s breathing started to level out after five minutes. She had the energy of five people in bed, and no matter how tired King thought she was, she was always ready for another tumble.Her intensity and desire scared KIng, but it was still one of the things that he loved the most about her. She matched his energy in so many different ways and their time together always ended up looking like one of them had a point to prove to the other.She turned to look at him, beaming. “That was….”“Amazing?” King finished for her, chuckling.“I was going to say scary, but amazing works as well.” Emilia smiled. “Really, I thought I was going to burst an artery for a moment there.”“Lucky you,” King teased. “I think I heard a few pop.” Emilia laughed as he leaned forward to kiss her forehead, and then her lips.“Poor
With tears in her eyes, she admitted what she had been holding back from admitting for so long. “I love you too, King.”King smiled wider and put his arms around her waist. He pulled her close, gently, and kissed her softly. Juniper melted into his embrace and forgot all about her pain and fear and frustration. She wrapped her arms around King, happy that she could hold him again.She had been so afraid of losing him. She had been so afraid of dying. And yet…here they were. She gripped him tighter, wanting to make sure he was real, not another sliver of her creative mind, a figment of her imagination. Yes, he was real. This was real.She was startled to hear voices and broke the kiss abruptly. The entire pack approached them, whooping and cheering loudly. She blushed slightly with embarrassment. She had completely forgotten all about them, and with good reason.“Wow!” Articus said. “What you did? We have never seen anything like it before. Where did you learn that from?”Emilia blinke
She walked slowly to the side, keeping herself on his blind side as she approached. She tried to levitate off the ground but couldn’t. All her powers had manifested physically into the spear in her hand.The only mana left in her was what powered her to move and function. She had to strike, and quickly, or she would be dead before she realized it.King had seen her get up, had seen the spear form in her hand. By some miracle, he had managed to keep his expression neutral and his eyes on the vampire.The vampire landed softly in front of him and pulled his blood spear out of the air. “So, this is how it ends.” He grinned wildly. “You fought well.”King held his gaze. “Don’t patronize me. Do what you have to do. Do you remember your promise? My life for theirs. No harm comes to my pack or my mate.”“Why the rush to die?” The vampire shook his head in mock sympathy. “Such a naive little boy. I made you no promises, fool. But I will promise you this. When I kill everyone you love and dest
The vampire threw his head back and laughed maniacally. He held the whole town hostage. He was judge, jury, and executioner, and he had all the power. Worst of all, he wasraving mad.He formed another spear in the air and it hovered beside his head. He shoved Emilia casually, ever so absentmindedly, to the ground. She crashed into the ground and bumped her knees as she fell.Pain lanced through her. Her palms felt like she wielded two balls of fire, and she couldn’t feel her legs. She stretched out on the ground, taking stock of her injuries. She never suffered any real damage from injuries, thanks to her powers, but she still felt pain.She watched the vampire as he floated toward King. Her chest squeezed with fear when she looked at the long, thin spear that moved before him. He had a look of pure evil on his face.King, on the other hand, looked resigned to his fate. He looked like someone who was waiting to die. He looked ready for it, like he had been waiting his entire life to d
He saw the vampire hovering high in the sky, watching the people. King had a sinking feeling in his stomach as he watched the still vampire.The vampire spread his arms to the side. At first, nothing happened. And then, the air around him shimmered. Thin, red objects appeared in the sky. Thousands of them, pointed like needles.King let out a wordless cry when he recognized the pointed objects floating in the sky. Blood spears. This was why the vampire had spent his time killing and discarding of so many animals.This was blood magic on an unprecedented scale. Cold realization washed over him. The vampire was going to wipe out the entire pack in one attack, and there was nothing that he could do to stop it.King clambered up to his feet, feeling defeated. How many of those could he block? How many people could he have saved today? He arrived at one inevitable answer. Not enough.As he had feared, the spears were turned toward the pack. His mouth ran dry and he watched wordlessly, awai
His body trembled from pain and he could feel a few broken ribs. He got up shakily and the pain lacerated through him, even as his body started to slowly knit itself back together.Still disoriented, he looked up just in time to see a fist flashing toward his face. The vampire’s bony knuckle connected solidly with King’s jaw and sent his head reeling backward.The force of the blow caused a shock wave to spread out around King and the vampire. He went flying backward, crashing into the ground several times before he came to a stop several yards away.He got up slowly and felt a hot, white pain in his jaw and knew that it had been shattered. He limped, his front legs faltering as his shoulder had not fully healed. The vampire floated toward him slowly as he felt his jaw. The vampire grinned at him and licked his lips with a pale tongue. “My turn.”King had no idea how to escape the blows that rained down on him. He ducked as furiously as he could, but half the strikes connected, and he
Fannar drilled Selina about what she had seen, and asked for details about her fight with the vampire.Selina cackled drily. “Fight? That wasn’t a fight. That was a beating. I barely managed to get my hands up before it ripped into me with the force of a bear and the speed of a fox. I have never seen anything like that in my life before. I think we are in big trouble.”The room fell silent and the alphas exchanged glances with each other. Asher spoke up first. “Did he give any indications why he took your sister?”Selina gave him an incredulous look. “If he did, I didn’t notice. I was too busy picking pieces off my ass off the curb.” She sighed and slumped into her seat. “What do we do?”The question hung over the room like a thick cloud of black smoke. No one had an answer to Selina’s question. No one knew how to find the vampire in the woods with powers like she had just described.Worse, they had no idea if Juniper was still alive. King didn’t want to think about what could have ha
He frowned and narrowed his eyes at her. She shriveled under the scrutiny. He looked down at her stomach and she covered herself reflexively in horror. Knowing how he felt about the wolves, she was afraid of what he would do to her unborn child.A look of realization settled on his face. “You’re carrying a wolf child in your womb…” His voice sounded as soft as the wind rustling through leaves, barely a whisper.He let go of her wrist and took two steps back. He looked hurt and upset. “How could you? How could you allow your womb to be tainted by wolves?” And then, his eyes turned as cold as ice and his voice hardened. “I will wipe them all out. I will start with Moonwood, and then I will wipe every last one from the Starlight Valley and wider.”Emilia started to plead but he just walked backward, with a look of cold resolution on his face. Without another word, he turned around and sped off into the woods, heading toward the town.Without thinking, Emilia started running. From the den
