Sherry's POV: "How are they holding up?" I asked Maggie, concerned. Yesterday, they refused to leave their child's side, even when we offered them a room. I understood that they still had their guard up, so I wasn't going to nag them to do something they didn't want. "I went to check up on them this morning, and they seem better than yesterday. The little girl is awake, and the parents seem rather relieved," she answered with a smile. I stood up from the bed, moved closer to her, and grabbed her hands. "Are they a threat to us?" I asked, concerned. Damon meant a lot to her, so it was obvious she had already asked the seer on his behalf. "No, they aren't, but they weren't completely honest with you. My cousin said they weren't second chance mates but first mates, and that child is one born from their love. She also said the ones after them weren't vampires but the warriors from Bevin's pack. Apparently, he went against his Alpha's orders and chose the vampire mate over his comma
August's POV Why were goodbyes always hard? Perhaps it's because we understood that we were going to be apart from the people we loved and cared about. My heart was heavy as I drove onto the main road that led to human territory. Whitney had tears in her eyes while saying goodbye, and the twins looked as sad as Leo. As for Lexi, she couldn't even look into my eyes because she too was sobbing. They all knew that I wasn't going to come back anytime soon, despite me telling them otherwise. It was a clear lie meant to make them worry less because what I wanted was to be far away from them and just live my own life. I wanted to learn how to love myself more and properly before anyone else, and that was what I hadn't done in my past. When my cell phone rang on the front seat next to me, I glanced at it lazily, then quickly picked it up while trying my best not to lose my grip on the steering wheel. "Sharon," I answered happily. "Where are you?" she asked in a cracked voice. I sadly
Damon's POV: I stood amazed at Bevin as he fought with Alec. Although his rank was below his, he held his ground so damn well. His moves were swift, and his strength was that of a lead warrior. When Alec brought him to the training field, I had thought he was going to introduce him to the other warriors. Instead, he asked Bevin to stand opposite him and ordered him to fight as a way of testing his skills. Knowing how most warriors acted, I thought Bevin would avoid his command out of fear. But he surprised me when he easily agreed. Now I understood why; his fighting technique was very unique and different. I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Alec groan in pain. The side of his lip was slightly busted, and he looked exhausted. "You are good in hand-to-hand combat, I have to admit. Is it because..." "No, it's not because I'm Asian. My race has nothing to do with how good I am at something," Bevin answered with a glare as Alec burst out laughing. I too laughed a little becaus
Sherry's POV: "What?" I asked, my tone serious. "The welcome party. It's usually held for all the male warriors who join our pack. In the past, even the she-wolves had their own parties, but the Alpha banned them after things got out of hand. One she-wolf even stripped naked in front of him just to get his attention. He was so upset that he decided to ban the welcome parties for females," Maggie explained, and I glared at her. I was extremely displeased with what I was hearing. If it were up to me, I would have banned both male and female welcome parties. "Luna, are you upset?" she asked softly. "No," I replied, forcing a smile on my face. I felt a surge of anger knowing that some she-wolves would go to such lengths just to seduce my man. Yes, it happened in the past, but that didn't mean it couldn't happen again. "So when is this so-called party starting?" I asked, my tone serious. "In an hour," she answered. "In an hour!" I exclaimed. "Yes, Luna. The Alpha is busy in his o
August's POV: "Any questions?" Felix asked calmly. She had just finished showing me around the house, and I had yet to meet the rest of the house members because they weren't around. "No, I would just love to take a rest," I answered. "Sure thing, follow me," she said, then turned and walked into the corridor as I followed behind Her house was different from what I had imagined. Because she was a vampire, I had pictured her living in a cold, dark place. But then again, Leo had stayed here for years, so this place wouldn't lack a fatherly touch. "Here is your bedroom," she said when she reached a room and opened the door. "If you are uncomfortable with anything, let me know," she said as I walked in, looking around. The room was simple, with a bed in the center and a desk on my left. The wardrobe was on my right, next to another door which I was sure was the bathroom. "The room is nice," I whispered, then moved and sat down on the bed. "Good, now take the rest you need becaus
Xiao's POV: I sat next to Mika, observing the warriors who were happily drinking and chatting, while some she-wolves were serving the men snacks and food. Some were busy dancing and singing to lighten up the mood. The whole place was lively, and it felt so good to be a part of it. "The alpha is kind of late," Alec said, then looked at his wristwatch seriously. Most she-wolves were looking at him indecently, yet he seemed to pay no attention to them, although I was sure he could feel it. "Speak of the devil," one warrior said when the door to the pack hall opened and he walked in with Luna Sherry by his side. The room instantly went quiet as our gaze fixed on him. Every warrior and she-wolf had a shocked expression on their faces, and I couldn't understand why, even the Beta. Was it because he was late? I asked myself thoughtfully. "Sorry I'm late," he apologized, then stood in front of us with a smile. "What, did I kill the fun?" he asked calmly. "No, it's just that we are al
August's POV: "Is it okay to leave the house locked?" I asked seriously as Felix drove to the club. "Of course, they all have a spare key," she answered. I had thought it was a joke when she said I only needed to rest for two hours before going out with her. It turned out it wasn't because I only rested for two hours, and there she was at my bedroom door knocking. "Oh, I forgot to ask. Is the pay okay with you?" She asked as I chuckled softly. "It's more than okay. $200 per hour sounds like magic to me," I answered happily. "I'm glad to know, but before we reach, I would like you to learn about a few rules of my club," she said. "Okay," I answered. "My club has both humans and supernatural beings as customers and clients. Only rich clients and customers get to walk into my place. The building is divided into three parts. At the top of the building is where the humans usually chill, party, and drink. The bartender and DJ are vampires. Not to brag, but my kind does have killer b
Damon's POV: I looked at Bevin, then at Mika, angrily. "Start talking," I ordered, seriously. "Damon...." "Hush, Sherry," I warned, cutting her off. "Well, Alpha, as you know, I have been very grateful for your kindness and..." "Get to the point, damn it!" I growled loudly. "My name is Xiao, not Bevin, and I lied about a few things," he said in a cracked voice. He was scared and slightly trembling, as he should be. "And what are those things?" I asked. "Mika is my first mate, and that child is our own biological daughter. When my Alpha imprisoned my mate, I had to go against his command and rescue her. I left my pack, but that only angered him. He sent some warriors after us, and for a long time, they chased after us until we stumbled upon your pack," he answered. "You little lying piece of shit. You come clean now after all the chances our Alpha gave you!" Alec yelled. "He told me the truth," Sherry said, as I frowned in shock. "He did?" I asked in a low tone. "Yes, and
