Analyn POV
"ANA!"
I flinched as Shirley screamed at my face and jumped on me to give me a hug. "I missed you!" I screamed back.
"I missed you too, and I'm so happy to see you, but why is there an extremely handsome man glaring at me from across the room?" Shirley asked and motioned toward Logan.
Damn, I forgot Logan came with me.
"Um, this is Logan," I said.
"I am a Sentinel," he announced.
"I don't know what that means, but I'm Shirley," Shirley giggled and extended her hand.
Logan looked at it and hesitated.
"I am not made of ice. You can touch me," Shirley said.
Logan took her hand. His face twisted into a frown. What was his problem?
"Mate," he whispered, looking straight into her eyes.
Huh?
"What?" Shirley was just as confused as me.
"Y...you are my mate," Logan said. He suddenly grabbed her face and smashed his lips on hers.
Whoa! Consent, anyone?
Sh
Ambrose POVI asked Theodore to research the creature, but I couldn't contain my curiosity, so I went to look myself. I was intrigued.I went inside the private library, where our ancestors kept old records of our history. Underneath the library, there was a vault, and it was where all of our secrets were stored. I was forbidden to enter the vault per my father, Alpha Marquise.But I was the Alpha now, so that means I could come in and go anywhere I pleased. Even the forbidden rooms.[Entering the forbidden room, you are a bad boy Ambrose.] my wolf suddenly commented.I rolled my eyes. "I am the new Alpha, so I can do whatever I want."[My, aren't you special?] he said.Sarcastic bastard.The vault was brightly lit. It smelled musty as no one had entered for a long time. I immediately looked at the ancient books that listed and explained different types of beasts. The kind of beasts humans thought were myths, b
Analyn POV "Look...you..." Ambrose started. "Dave," Dave corrected him. "Look, Dave. You are starting to piss me off. Why don't we settle this once and for all? Let's fight. How about I rip your heart out? Assuming that you have one," Ambrose said with a tight jaw. "You think I am afraid of a dog like you? I'm more curious to see what kind of powers you possess. Then maybe we get to decide who deserves the girl after," Dave said. He was smirking the whole time, not taking Ambrose seriously. What was happening? I never thought I'd have two guys fighting over me. Let alone a vampire and a werewolf. What kind of Hollywood bullshit is this! "Guys, this is ridiculous. Fighting over me is pointless because I'm married to Ambrose already. So just chill out, Dave. I don't even know you!" I said. As much as it intrigued me to watch a fight between a vampire and a werewolf, I knew I shouldn't let things escalate. "You do
Ambrose POV "Why are you two holding hands?" I asked after we came back to our home. Analyn's friend Shirley asked if she could stay with us a little longer, and for some reason, Logan was a little too eager to bring her back with us. So I met them back in the living room after putting some clothes on. It took me a while to get over my anger against those filthy vampires, but I was starting to feel calmer. I hated to admit it, but when Ana touched me earlier, it helped soothe my temper. I walked into the living room, and the first thing I noticed was Logan and Shirley. She was almost sitting on his lap, cuddling. What the hell was going on? I didn't even recall them meeting each other before. "Oh yea, about that. Shirley is my mate," Logan cleared his throat and said. Okay, I did not see that coming. I didn't want to be rude to the girl, so I linked with him. Logan must've lost it. He must like the girl, so he was making up th
Analyn POVI was running around inside a forest.It wasn't cold and dark as the one behind the packhouse. It was bright and cheerful. There were flowers everywhere. Beautiful, colorful flowers. I was happy."Come here, honey. I'll braid your hair," a woman's voice spoke.Sylvia?No, it didn't sound like Sylvia. This woman's voice was different. It had a softer tone to it. I found myself feeling drawn to that voice, but I couldn't see what she looked like.Then I felt her warm fingers running through my hair as she slowly braided it. I felt warmth. The kind of warmth I've never felt before."Mommy loves you," she whispered.Mommy? My mother was here? But I thought she was dead!But I didn't want to worry about that as I felt happiness overwhelm me. I was finally with my mother. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the warm and fuzzy feeling in my heart as she slowly brushed my hair. This must be what heaven felt
Ambrose POV"Where is Theo?" I asked as he was missing in action."I haven't seen him all day. He must be out there, checking the gate security. He said something about securing the premises better because of what's out there," Jaq said.I nodded. I ordered Theo to do that earlier. The monster didn't show any signs of branching out of the forest and coming into town, but it was still dangerous. He could come in and try to kill everyone once it decides that animal blood wasn't enough for him.And I still wanted revenge. An eye for an eye.Something else also had been bothering me since last night. I couldn't stop thinking about Ana. She screamed in her sleep, and I've never seen anyone be so terrified of a nightmare.Her entire body was shaking so violently that at first, I thought she was having a seizure. But then she avoided the subject as if it was some kind of big secret. I knew she lied to me. That dream meant something
Analyn POV I watched Ambrose. He looked like he was in a panic. He had mentioned the curse to me before, and I remembered him telling me how dangerous he became during that time. "I...I'll go down there. There are only four hours left until it happens," he said. "I'll come with you and help," Sylvia told him. "I am coming too," I said. "No!" Ambrose protested immediately. I felt a little hurt by it. Why was he trying to reject me again? "Why can't I come? I am your wife. I am coming with you," I insisted. Sylvia nodded. "Let her. She needs to see what has to be done during these times. I won't be around forever to take care of you, Ambrose," she said. Ambrose sighed, relenting. "Alright, she can come. But you can't stay," he said. I silently followed them to the cellar. Ambrose's face was grim, and so was Sylvia's. I've never seen Sylvia look so serious. It made me worried about what was to come
Analyn POV I was not prepared to see what I was about to see down there. Ambrose was crouched down on the floor on all fours. It broke my heart to see him look so vulnerable as he was drenched in sweat, panting like a dog. I stared at him in shock as I watched his eyes begin to change. His beautiful bright green eyes were changing into a different color. At first, I thought they were turning yellow, but they were glowing Amber. He had finally stopped screaming, but he was whimpering, letting me know that he was still in pain. I watched in horror as his face contorted and a long wolf's muzzle extended out in front of him. I could see his bones shifting inside his skin. It was as if there were giant ants crawling inside him.
Analyn POV I was taken aback by his harsh comment. "I am not an idiot." "Yes you are. I told you to stay upstairs, didn't I? So what the fuck were you thinking coming down here?" he said. His eyes were back to their normal state, but they were dark with anger. "I just...I wanted to be with you. You were all alone in this dark cellar and I wanted to comfort you," I said with a shaky voice. Why couldn't he understand how much I care about him? He came up to me and gripped my shoulders. "You wanted to comfort me? Are you fucking kidding me, Ana? That wasn't me last night. It was a monster who could've torn you to pieces. What if I attacked you, huh? What if I killed you?"
Ten years later..."Kaden, SLOW DOWN!" I cried out as our five year old child Kaden continued to terrorize everyone. I watched what went down in front of me, not sure how to handle our son, while Matthew and Konrad stood in the distance, stuffing their face with pizza, "Why aren't you stopping him!" I looked at them and roared.I was four months pregnant with Matthew's daughter Misty, so I was too hormonal and grumpy to deal with our demon child, who had now transformed into a dragon, spitting fire at everyone and everything."BURN, BURN, BURN!" Kaden chanted joyously.Ah, he was his father's son, alright. "Konrad! Do something!" I glared at Konrad."He is just having fun," he said nonchalantly.I turned my attention back to Matthew. "Then you stop him!"Matthew stopped eating his pizza and looked at me like he had no idea what I was talking about. "Huh? What do you mean? Why do I have to get him? It's Konrad's spawn of hell. Let him punish Kaden.""Because I already know Konrad, and
Sophia POV Is this really happening? Or is this a dream? I wondered as Matthew carried me to his bedroom. Tonight was finally the night I was to be mated to Matthew. I'd been thinking about it all day and let's just say my anxiety level was through the roof! "Don't be scared, Sophia. I won't hurt you. You trust me, don't you?" Matthew said gently. "I do," I whispered. Matthew put me on the floor gently. I felt like his piercing green eyes could look inside my soul and I felt nervous again. But it wasn't because I was scared of him. I could feel the heat between my legs as I watched him take his shirt off. I want him, and I can't even deny it to myself. [Holy hell, this guy is hot. I wonder how his wolf would feel when he buried his cock into you], my wolf cooed inside me, making me redder than a tomato. [Shut up! You will ruin the moment,] I hissed. I wasn't usually lusting over men like this, but for some reason, I could hardly contain myself now. I must be in heat. Matthew
Matthew POV Konrad was angry with me. He didn't want me to fight him about who gets to have Sophia first tonight. He wanted me to give her up without argument, but I didn't want to let her go this easily. They say fighting doesn't solve anything. So we both agreed with my mom's idea of finding the flowers in the forest. It shouldn't be too hard, right? "You will never find it. You barely spend any time in the woods," Konrad scoffed. "That's where you are wrong, brother. I may not roam around in the forest like a wild animal and waste my time there, but I still know a lot about it. I can also speak to other animals and ask them for direction." Konrad growled at me. "You can't ask other animals in the forest about the flower bush. That's cheating." "That's not cheating. Nobody said we couldn't do that!" I exclaimed. "And I bet the creatures in the woods will be more willing to help me because all you did was find new ways to torture them. So they already hate you." I smirked. "Fuc
Sophia POVGosh, I was having a nice quiet time in my room, eating a big bowl of chocolate ice cream, but of course, I got roped into their sibling bullshit.Again."What's happening?" I mumbled."Konrad and I are going to decide who gets to be with you tonight for your first time, once and for all," Matthew announced."Excuse me? I thought I already told you that it is up to me and not you. I get to decide who will be my first," I put my bowl down and snarled."Well...have you decided?" Konrad asked."No.""Well, there you go. You don't even know how to decide yet. So we are going to settle it. Then you won't have to make any kind of decision," Matthew said, deciding.These Neanderthals are going to be the end of me."And how are you going to settle this, may I ask? And why did you bring me here? We were not supposed to see each other until tonight anyway," I said irritably. All I wanted was to eat my ice cream in peace and read a good book. And maybe take a nice warm bath later. I s
Konrad POV "Gone? What do you mean gone?" my father roared. "Valentina ran away with Callan," Matthew murmured. Shit, that bastard had really done it this time. It had been a few days since the day Callan disappeared with Sophia's sister and then was brought back from the demon world by me. Ever since then, I lost contact with him, but it turned out he didn't lose connection with Valentina. Cheeky bastard. Although I was angry initially because Matthew and I had been protecting Valentina from Callan's lusty eyes for decades, I decided I'd learn to accept their sudden elope. Callan might be a complete moron, but Valentina? She was not dumb. If she went against our father and chose Callan, she knew what she was doing. Father's face turned dark, and I could tell he was trying his best not to explode in anger. "I see. I thought Sophia's sister was his mate. Why did that hooligan take my daughter?" "He rejected his mate for Val," Matthew interjected. However, he didn't seem all that
Callan POVWas she teasing me again?I held my breath as Valentina led me into her room."What are you planning on doing? Are you trying to seduce me, Ms. Vikander?" I joked.Valentina said nothing. A mysterious smile teased her lips instead, and her green eyes twinkled. Goddamn, she was just so...How did I get so lucky to be in the same room with this gorgeous creature? I didn't even use my Incubus magic on her!That meant she wasn't forced to bring me here. That means she actually likes me."You are awfully quiet. Nervous?" Valentina said and giggled mischievously."Nervous? Me? Don't be silly. I am half incubus. I get girls left and right," I said dismissively. Okay, that came out bad, but it wasn't like I was having sex with them for fun only. I literally needed to have sex to feed myself."That stops now," Valentina's voice was bizarrely melodious, making my head swim."Your sexual conquest stops here," Valentina repeated."No, Val. You don't understand. I need sex to stay stron
Valentina Today was the big day—my date with Callan. I shouldn't be nervous. I told myself that it was only Callan that I had a date with, that I knew him and shouldn't panic. I grew up with him and I'm pretty sure we were naked in baths at some point! But it didn't work. The second he arrived on my doorstep, standing there with his silvery white hair reaching down to his waist, and winning smile, I was a goner. It was game over to my lady parts. It shouldn't be allowed to be so handsome. Callan's imperfections only seemed to make him look even more tempting. "Callan!" I exclaimed. "Hi!" I hope he couldn't hear my heart that was unnaturally fast and loud. A grin spread over his lips. "Good morning." Not sure what to say next, I simply absorbed him. He wore casual clothing, jeans, and a grey t-shirt with a rock hanging around his neck. A smile spread over his lips as he caught me looking, and I got butterflies when he sized me up. "You look nice," Callan said. "Beautiful, actu
Callan POV 'Life should never be taken too seriously. We only live once, so why not laugh and have fun while we are here?' —I breathed that motto. Because of it, friends had always come easy to me. I was popular. What could I say? I was a fun guy to be around. Even girls flocked me, but mainly because of my appearance. Being half incubus had it's advantages I guess. But honestly, that kind of sucked.I wasn't stupid. I had eyes and knew I wasn't half-bad to look at. I took care of myself, worked out more than once per week, and my mother called me handsome, so I had that going for me.But I wanted to make a connection, and there was only one person I was drawn to. Only one person made my heart perform somersaults, and the same person also made me dumb.Valentina. The only crush I had ever had. My body wanted her while my soul craved her. But she never looked at me the way I wanted her too. It was as if she was immune to my incubus allure. She looked at me like I was one of her br
Sophia POVI watched Valentina as she moved around the battleground. For some reason, she was having a hard time focusing. She looked nervous. She was usually the most enthusiastic one in the battleground!"Where is your head today, Val? You let Patrick beat you twice already!" Matthew barked.Valentina jolted as if Matthew's voice startled her. "I...I don't know. I guess I didn't have enough sleep last night," she murmured.Hmm...something was wrong with her, I could feel it."Valentina, if you are not feeling well, you should go lie down," I said gently.It has been a week since the ordeal with Liz and Callan. Konrad went to the demon world and opened a portal so Callan and Liz could come back. After that, he let Liz escape and told them never to set foot in this territory again.Because if Alpha Ambrose found out, everyone, including Konrad, would be punished for helping. And none of us wanted that.Maybe Valentina is upset about Callan leaving, I thought to myself.They seemed pre
