ALLISON.By the afternoon, I found myself cozied up in the living room while watching a popular Netflix show in the television. I’ve been wanting to watch this one, I just didn’t have the time to do it with all the crazy stuffs that have been happening lately. Liam sat at the other end of the couch, quiet, his arms stretched across the backrest in a lazy sprawl as he watched the series with me. It was one of those teen romance dramas—cheesy and predictable, but something about it scratched an itch I didn’t know I had.“This is boring,” Liam suddenly muttered, though his teasing tone told me he wasn’t completely serious.I scoffed, pulling my legs up beneath me as I glanced at him. “It’s not boring. I like it. The leads have chemistry.”“Chemistry?” Liam let out a sarcastic laugh, the sound low and gruff. “You don’t strike me as the type to swoon over teen shows, hopeless romantic.”Heat flushed my cheeks. I grabbed a pillow and threw it at him.“I’m not a hopeless romantic!” I argued,
ALLISON.I had been avoiding Liam like the since lunch. I was sure he noticed my weird behavior, but I could care less. Limiting my interaction with him as much as possible was the only way I knew how to deal with this suffocating mess until his week-long arrangement was over. The fewer conversations we had, the better I could keep my thoughts straight.Unfortunately, holing up in my room for the past few days had left me feeling restless, bored, and suffocated. Worse, I was starting to feel thirsty.“Ah, damn it. I need a drink.” I rolled off the bed and forced myself out of my room and headed for the kitchen.As soon as I stepped into the hallway, my eyes landed on Liam, sitting on his usual spot on the couch. His sharp green gaze immediately lifted to me, like he had been waiting for me to appear. I quickly averted my gaze.Ignore him. He’s not there. Just get the water.Even as I opened the fridge to grab the water pitcher, I could feel Liam’s eyes boring into my back. He was watc
ALLISON.The kiss was fierce, desperate and consuming. I felt my knees weaken, but the anger still burned hot. I shoved him back and slapped him across the face.His face twisted in shock. He touched his cheek as he slowly turned to me, eyes blazing in anger. But the anger in his eyes quickly faltered when he noticed the tears trickling down my face.“Allison—"“Don’t you dare kiss me with the lips you used to kiss your mate,” I said, my voice shaking with tears. “I’m not trying to break things between you and your precious Caroline.”Liam looked ever more shocked now. “H-How did you—"“I may be attracted to you, but I don’t plan on ruining a sacred mate bond. I won’t stoop that low despite the rest of the world thinking that I’m nothing but a slut.”Liam was taken aback. He shook his head, disagreeing.“Allison, it’s not…”I didn’t listen to his words. I was done. I pushed him with all my strength and ran to my room, quickly snapping the locks shut before he could follow me inside.“
ALLISON.I didn’t know when I drifted off, but the world shifted in an instant, suddenly a familiar cold, suffocating blackness swallowed me whole.When the vision cleared, I was fourteen again, crouched behind a pile of rubble with Quinn at my side. The sharp smell of smoke and blood clawed at my nose. I could hear the screams of our fellow packmates and see the pile of corpses scattered everywhere. My chest tightened as fire licked the charred remains of our pack, the red glow painting the night sky was something out of a nightmare.It was the Outworld Bloodbath.The red-hooded witches moved like shadows through the flames, their faces obscured beneath crimson fabric as they cast spells and lit homes ablaze. Our entire pack was burning.“Stay quiet,” Quinn whispered harshly, her arm shielding me as we huddled together. She was only eighteen, barely older than me, and her newly awakened wolf powers were still unstable. I knew she wanted to help our pack’s warriors and his brother, Ke
ALLISON.“Liam…” my voice curled into a womanly voice as I grabbed a handful of his hair. He was licking and sucking on my throat and I was so sure he was going to leave a mark. I didn’t mind. He kissed the soft spot just below my ear, and I gasped, feeling the heat between us flare even hotter.He groaned low, his hands moving to my hips, pulling me against him until I straddled his lap. My body tingled when I felt the unmistakable arousal poking just below my ass. He was so hard that“You’re driving me crazy,” he murmured against my skin, his voice hoarse with desire.I tilted my head back, giving him more access, and his lips trailed down my neck, pressing small, possessive kisses that sent shivers through me. His hands moved to the curve of my waist, then up, tracing the line of my ribs, until they found the sensitive skin just under my breast. I felt a surge of heat pool in my stomach, and I couldn’t help but moan softly.He cupped my left boob, molding it with his palms and rubb
ALLISON.I bit my pillow, my mind in a haze as his thick member plowed inside and out of me. His balls were slapping against my ass while filling me to the brim. The sound of our ragged breathing and the lewd sound of our flesh filled the four corners of my bedroom.Liam pressed his body against my back, but making sure not to put all his wait against me as he continued to slammed his shaft into my tight hole. My poor bed was creaking in his every thrusts."You're everything that I want wrapped in one, Allison. I can't get enough of you." He kissed my neck.I shuddered when he began stroking my clit again while his tempo became rougher. It was like a switch. Waves of pleasure ebbed throughout my body and building up in between my thighs.“I’m so close, Liam. Please…”“Yes, that’s right. Come for me, Allison.”Liam rubbed my clit faster while his cock pounded on me, stroking the most delicious spot in my core.“Oh!” I buried my face against the pillow as my body quivered in bliss. The
ALLISON.We opened the door and true enough, Wesley was already waiting outside. He was holding a bouquet of flowers. His face lit up as soon as he saw me.“Good morning, Alli. These are for you,” he said and offered the bouquet to me.I smiled shyly, taking the flowers from him. “Thank you, Wesley. They’re beautiful.”Wesley turned his attention to Liam, standing just behind me. “Morning.”Liam maintained his stoic face and just Wesley him a curt nod. Very friendly. Fortunately, Wesley didn’t mean to find Liam’s usual snobbish demeanor.Liam’s gaze flicked to me, his hand resting protectively on my lower back. “You better take good care of her,” he said to Wesley, his tone laced with a hint of warning.Wesley smirked. “That’s a given.”Liam turned to me again and suddenly pulled me closer, his arm tightening around me as he dipped his head and pressed his lips to mine. I gasped against his lips. The kiss was possessive, brief but enough to leave me breathless and blushing like an idi
ALLISON.“You know that I have heightened senses even for a werewolf, right? I can feel the baby’s aura,” he said, placing his hand gently on my stomach. “The baby is strong, just like you. But it doesn’t have the Morgan bloodline. Trust me—I’d know. I felt it with my older sister during her first and second pregnancy. The Morgan bloodline has a unique aura even from infancy. And I just… I just don’t feel it with your pregnancy.”I felt a pang of bitterness, though I couldn’t explain why.“Then why are you still here? Why waste your time with a woman carrying another man’s child?” my tone sounded harsher than I had intended.Wesley sighed, shaking his head. “Looks like you didn’t hear a damn thing I just said.”“No, it just doesn’t make sense!” I argued, my voice trembling. “You’re a powerful Alpha who came from one of the most reputable bloodlines in Lycan history. You’re practically royalty! You could have anyone you wanted.”He leaned in close, his blue eyes piercing. “Then let me
ALLISON.“Yes,” I answered breathily.Wesley didn’t waste any more time and pushed his cock inside my mouth. I whimpered around his girth as Daniel’s pace grew faster. The bed shook as he pounded on pussy. He pulled his member out until only the tip remained before plunging it back inside, balls deep.“Uhhmm!” I moaned deliriously as Wesley did the same with my mouth. He grabbed my hair while slid his cock in and out of my lips, using my mouth as his own pleasure toy. I loved it so much, how they used my body to feel good and at the same time, making sure that I would get the best pleasure of my life.Daniel growled as his tempo grew faster, his thumb rubbing on my clit while pistoning his member into my folds in frantic thrusts. On my side, River was still using my hand to jack himself off, making me lose my mind.My body tingled with unbearable pleasure. I screamed around Wesley’s cock as I felt another mind-blowing orgasm ripping all over my body. I tensed, my toes curling as I cam
ALLISON.By the time we returned home, I was tired. I barely had time to process everything before Emily greeted us at the door.“Amaris is already asleep. She spent the entire evening doing a SpongeBob marathon,” she informed me with a small smile.Wesley clapped his hand.“I knew she’d grow up loving cartoons. I should’ve bought her that SpongeBob onesie when I had the chance,” he said.“You still haven’t let that go?” River shook his head.I smiled at their banter before turning to Emily. “Thanks for watching her. I owe you one.”She waved a hand.“Nah, just make sure to invite me over for dinner next time.” She winked and made her way out, leaving me alone with my five men.Moments later, I found myself submerged in warm, soapy water. Daniel worked shampoo into my hair, his fingers massaging my scalp, while Wesley soaped my right leg gently.“You did great today,” Wesley said.I smiled, leaning into the sensation of River gently scrubbing my back.“I didn’t do much. I just accepte
ALLISON.Later, we went back to our old house to eat some lunch. Liam stood by the stove, his sleeves rolled up while he was cooking. Meanwhile, Amaris was sitting on the kitchen stool while playing with her doll. She swung her legs while watching Liam stir some vegetables.“Daddy Li, I want waffles!” she announced.Liam paused, his green eyes widening slightly as he turned to face her.“You want waffles for lunch?” He glanced at me, silently asking if this was okay.I leaned down and kissed Amaris on the cheek before ruffling her soft curls.“Why don’t you try eating some veggies for a change, Ami?” I asked.She scrunched up her nose and stuck her tongue out. “Yuck!”Liam snickered, clearly amused. “Alright, alright. I’ll make you some waffles.” Then, he turned to me with a smirk and winked. “I’ll just add some fruits to make it… uh, healthy?”I sighed, pressing a hand to my face.“She totally takes after me,” I sighed.Daniel chuckled from across the kitchen, nodding as he looked at
ALLISON.Somehow, I was reminded again of the question our father asked us in that fateful day at the river…“What are you willing to do for the person you love?”As I stared at the stones and wooden cross that marked his grave, I found myself smiling because after everything, after the battles, the sacrifices, the loss, and the victories… I knew my answer had remained the same.“I did everything I could for love, Dad,” I whispered, gently laying down a bouquet of yellow tulips, his favorite.Beside me, Sullivan knelt and did the same, only his bouquet was of amaryllis flowers which was our mom’s favorite. He stayed silent for a moment, his fingers brushing against the wood of the cross, before he exhaled deeply.It has been two years since the war ended. The bloody battle that tore through the Outworld, leaving scars on both the land and the people. It took time, so much time to rebuild everything that has been broken. Many people died, but a lot of them survived. Still, it didn’t me
ALLISON.“Allison, stop!”Somewhere, I could hear distant voices, calling me. But the rage I was feeling inside was louder than anything I have ever heard before. So, I didn’t stop. My flames grew hotter as my anger.“Allison!”Then, suddenly, I felt an arm around me, wrapping me, pulling me. At first, it wasn’t enough to stop me. But another pair of arms latched around me, forcing to stop. There were too many of them, strong big arms that wrapped in a tight embrace. I shrieked. I struggled, clawed, lashed out. But they didn’t let go. They held on, even as my fire burned them.Then I heard their voices growing louder and louder…“It’s okay, Allison. We’re here.” Daniel.“Come back to us.” Liam.“You did it, baby. It’s over.” River.“You’re safe now.” Mason.“We love you, Allison. Please.” Wesley.Their names rang in my mind as they continued to whisper soft words in my ear.“Allison…”The word sliced through my rage like a silver bullet. I gasped as reality crashed back into me. The f
ALLISON.Quinn was already there, clutching Sullivan’s twitching form, tears streaming down her face. Celestine ignored me. She took a slow step forward, tilting her head as if considering something.“He is at my mercy now. And I can make this agony last for as long as I want.” Her lips curled into a ruthless grin.She lifted her hand and curled her fingers into a fist, tugging to some invisible strings in the air. Sullivan screamed. His body arched, his hands clutching at his chest as if something were ripping him apart from the inside. It broke me to see him like this.Quinn sobbed, tightening her hold on him. “Stop it! Please, stop!”But Celestine wasn’t done. She turned her piercing gaze to me.“Come with me, Allison. Do that, and I will end his suffering.” Her voice was almost gentle now, coaxing.I shook my head, my entire body trembling. I wanted to believe her. I wanted to believe that I could save him. For the past few days, that was what I have been clinging to. I thought I
ALLISON.Quinn lunged, his massive paws slamming into Sullivan’s chest, forcing him to the ground. The impact shook the earth, but Sullivan barely reacted. He was stunned for a moment as he stared at his mate’s eyes.Quinn snarled, fangs bared, but I could feel the sorrow beneath his aggression. He didn’t want to fight Sullivan—his mate—but he had no choice.Sullivan let out a guttural growl and shoved Quinn off him with brute force. The sheer power of it sent Quinn skidding across the dirt, his claws digging into the earth to stop himself. But before he could recover, Sullivan was already back on his feet, his blazing eyes locking onto me.Then he charged.Faster than I’d ever seen him move before.But this time, he wasn’t alone.A blur of silver, black, and gold streaked across my vision as Mason, Liam, River, and Wesley—still in their wolf forms—slammed into Sullivan. Their combined force sent him crashing into a tree, the impact splintering the trunk with a deafening crack.The ba
ALLISON.A choked gasp left my lips, and I clamped my hand over my mouth. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Four dozen bodies lay strewn across the ground, their forms twisted in agony. Their skin was scorched, blackened as if burned from the inside out. My breath caught in my throat. There was only one person who could have done this.I swallowed hard, dreading what I would see when I looked up. And then, I saw him.Sullivan. My brother.He sat in the middle of the carnage, legs crossed as if waiting for us. His shoulders were hunched, his head bowed. But he wasn’t alone. Standing beside him, smiling wickedly, was Celestine.“You finally made it here. I almost got bored waiting for you,” Celestine said in her usual sickly-sweet voice.“What have you done?!” I growled in fury.“Ask your brother. He was the one who did the dirty work,” Celestine shot back.Sullivan’s face darkened. His expression was a mixture of anger, grief, and guilt. He looked as if he still couldn’t comprehend
ALLISON.Then Mason’s wolf form crashed into him, teeth sinking into the vampire’s throat. Blood sprayed as he tossed the limp body aside and ran faster.“Mason!” I was relieved that he took care of that last minute.Just when I thought that we could finally escape, Valentina’s figure emerged from one of the trees.“You didn’t really thought you could get away, right?” she mocked.Fuck!She ran alongside us, eyes gleaming in the dark. Mason tried to attack her but she just snappily avoided every attack as she kept up our pace. Her crimson eyes drifted to me.“You’re making a mistake by running away, Allison. You shouldn’t escape your destiny,” she said while running to my right side to avert Mason’s attack. Daniel ran to the opposite direction to keep our distance from her.“Fuck off!” I yelled at her, clutching the wooden stake in my hand.“You don’t realize what you are, Allison,” she muttered again.I tightened my grip on Amaris. “And what’s that?”“The key to absolute immortality!
