Romare’s nostrils flared. He was mad, more than angry, but I wasn't going to let him go, not until he handed the suppressants over to me.

“Herlo,” he said at last. “Take your hand off me.”

I shook my head at him, my eyes lowered to avoid his soul-crushing gaze. “Give me the suppressants and I will.”

“You’re being very daring and you don’t know—“

“I don’t care.” I met his eyes. “Just give me what I want.”

Silence.

Seconds ticked by.

“Let go,” Romare said. “Or I’ll break your little fingers.” He stared at my fingers which twitched at his threats. Still, I stood my ground, grasping him much tighter.

“I don’t really want to stand here, holding you. It’s not helping me at all and it’s making my heat worse.” My stomach lurched, my legs unsteady. “Just give me the pills.”

“Why should I do that? Giving it to you or not is up to me,” Romare said softly.

My eyes widened. “So, you’re going to let me die?”

“No.”

“You’ll help me with my heat then?”

Disgust crossed his face immediately a

    By the time I woke up, it was completely dark and I knew immediately that it was the middle of the night. Though I didn’t feel like I was going to die anymore, I still felt pretty weak, my mouth dry and my head banging. I needed water so I forced myself off the floor to sit up. My gaze swept to the door and I was about to call for the two maids when I paused and furrowed my brows. Is something burning?A loud beeping filled the air and it was ringing so loudly I had to cover my ears with my palm. “What’s going on?” I sniffed the air. It was the smell of smoke as if the entire place was engulfed in flame. I quickly rushed to the door and grabbed the door handle, however, the immediate burn made me shove away from the floor, falling on my butt, my heart thumping heavily. What the hell?The handle was incredibly hot. It burned and I lowered my gaze to my palm which was a painful red. It couldn’t be what I was thinking right? The house wasn’t on fire, was it? Fear crept up my spine a

    “Sir Romare!” I heard the firefighters screaming for me to step back, but I couldn’t. Confusion gripped my chest and I couldn’t tear my eyes away from my company that was being reduced to nothing but ashes. What had happened? What has gone wrong? I had no idea who set the fire, my workers who’d been called weren’t saying anything coherent either, each of them claiming they had no idea what happened. Not even the management field could give me any damn explanation. Did they leave something flammable on?“Romare,” a familiar voice called and I turned to see my younger brother who’d stepped down from the car approaching me. “Are you okay? I heard what happened and had to rush over here.” “I’m fine, Adam, what are you doing here?” I asked, focusing on the company that was being watered down. I could see him frown from my peripheral vision and glanced at him. “Why are you here? Weren’t you going to travel today?” He grumbled under his breath and cleared his throat. “I was. But I coul

    BreatheBreathe Herlo. The words were like a chant I kept repeating to myself like a prayer until I believed it. I was on the floor on my knees, breathing heavily, my lungs filled and stuffed. It burned, and I felt like I could collapse before I saw the light of another day. My body felt hot as if the sun directly faced me and beads of sweat poured down my face. The lock of my room suddenly clicked and the door was opened. One look at my father’s disgusted face and I stilled. He looked angry and he was going to hit me, to ease his frustration of having birthed a freak like me. But I knew how to take a beating. Stay still and lessen the damage. Be quiet, do not complain. Don’t fight back. Don’t react. Keep. Quiet.My father didn’t make a move even after what seemed like ages. I itched to look at his face, but I wasn’t stupid. I had no right ever to look him in the eyes, I dared not to without permission. “Herlo.”I raised my head but immediately lowered my gaze at his glaring

    “I’ll go.” The words felt bitter on my tongue and my father, Roger Varlat scoffed, straightening. “That’s it, girl. We could have cut to the chase if you didn’t decide to be a little stubborn.” He turned to the door and began heading towards it. “Emilia, hand those suppressants to her and ensure they wash her up properly, we leave in three hours. Also…make sure those stupid cuts all over her wrists are covered up.” I cowered back, hiding my wrists under my sweaty striped shirt. My older sister, Emilia shut the door after our father and her blue eyes lowered to me. I extended a shaky hand out, expecting her to give the bottle to me, but she slapped my hand away and snorted at me. “Are you stupid?” “Huh? Dad said you should give it to me.” “And so?”“Emilia—“ “Dad said to give it to you, but he never said anything about messing with you a little before handing it over.” My hands balled to my side and I chewed my bottom lip. “Emilia, please give me the suppressants, my conditio

    Pain rained down on me, creating wounds not visible to the naked eye. The only thing that knocked me back to reality was the sudden shockwave rushing through my body at a puzzling speed. I didn’t have the time to react to the graze of his canines as sharp tips dug into my flesh with a sharp sting. And in an instant, I panicked. No, no, no, no, he bit me, he fucking bit me! “Let go! Let go of me! GET OFF ME!!” I shoved at him to wriggle out of his, but this man wouldn’t let go, not until my chest pounded so loud like never before and I keened on my knees, a sense of euphoria, like something I’ve never felt before coursing through me. He…he marked me. Everything burned and ached beyond what I could tolerate, and I was on the floor, clutching onto the marble tiles like it could keep me from collapsing. “What have you done?!” Romare Vitale stared down at me, growling under his breath, his balled fist tightening so much his knuckles turned white.

    I shuddered at his touch. This man spun me around and grabbed me by the arm to drag me back, further to the very center of the hall where all eyes stayed on me, unblinking. I couldn’t breathe, everything felt suffocating and my vision was growing fuzzy. “Did she really try to run?” they murmured. “She did, she did. No one has ever done this sort of thing before, I think she’ll be killed.” My father stood watching with a stone-cold face as if he didn’t know me. And Emilia, she stood behind him, smiled spitefully at me, clearly enjoying the entire thing. What I would give to drop dead at that very moment. I was forced to my knees by Romare, the hatred brewing from this man very clear to me. His touch, his hateful stare, it all pierced through my skin like needles. Alpha Elliot stepped toward me and grabbed my chin with a disgusted look that seemed as if he was touching dirt. He tilted my head from left to right, examining me, and suddenly took a step back.

    I’d rather jump off a bridge!What did they expect from me? To be grateful that they were sparing my life? For what? Three months? It was almost laughable, I couldn’t help the sound that came from me. And this snapped Romare’s attention back to me. “What is so funny, huh?” Romare was dangerous, so dangerous, a spitting image of danger.But something had changed inside of me, the realisation that I didn't care anymore. “I asked you a question!” I laughed again. “The idea of you thinking I’m going to live for you is what I find funny.”I refuse to die that pathetically with no shred of dignity left in me. It was better to kill me right then and there, because even as miserable as I was, I would never live for anyone, not someone who clearly hated me. I chortled to myself again and again and winced, the second Romare snatched me roughly by the chin, his murderous gaze blaring through my skull. “Don’t test me!”“Or what?” He crouched closer until his face was close to mine. “Don’t.

    Herlo didn’t answer me, her baby blue eyes just staring at me warily. My lips twitched and I raised a brow. “You enjoy making me repeat my words, don’t you?” ”Give me the suppressants,” she said, her breath shuddering. “I feel dizzy.””And I said, answer my damn question and get it,” I growled, my patience wearing thin. “You are wasting my time. Do you want them or—“ “Urgh, just shut up!” The next thing I knew, Herlo was on top of me, trying to claw my eyes out. “Shut up, shut up! Just shut up! If you’re not going to give me the stupid pills, then I’m going to take what’s in front of me.” She pushed, tackling me to the floor before I could even register what was happening. “This is all your fault!” she groaned at me, straddling my waist and dropping her hands on either side of my head. Her breathing was heavy, her curls falling in a fringe over her forehead. Blue eyes bored into mine and her breathing, hot, and fanning my face. “Get off,” I grunted, stifling a groan at the feel

    I didn’t answer him, I couldn’t. It was hard thinking rationally when I felt hot all over, my mind clouded with his pheromones. I could plead to have him scent-mark me, but I wouldn’t. Not a jerk like him. All I needed were suppressants, I would survive on them alone. I didn’t need him. Romare’s inscrutable expression changed a bit. He continued looking at me in silence, his gaze sharp. it was a hundred times more unnerving than any words. But suddenly. “Don’t even think about it! Because I won’t.” “I didn’t ask,” I said calmly—or at least I tried to. “You know it would be better for you to just kill me.” His lips thinned. “Why do that, when I can punish you for what you’ve done? You’re only alive because killing you would be me giving you the easy way out. Did you think I was going to let you go scot-free after trapping me?” “I didn’t trap you. Your actions were your own fault!” I fought the urge to squirm under his cruel stare, my breathing ragged. “And you refusing to simply
