*Maddox*A mischievous giggle escaped my mate as I withdrew my cock from her mouth and pulled her up onto my lap. Her eyes were dark with lust as she stared directly into mine."You're becoming more and more troublesome," I growled, threading my hand through her soft curls and tilting her head back, tugging hard on her hair.“Ah!” she moaned as I licked the length of her slender neck.But my mate didn't cease her teasing; instead, she continued to provoke me. She began grinding against my bulge, almost bringing me to climax right then and there. My length swelled beneath her.“You're playing with fire, princess,” I warned, but she didn't stop. Too absorbed in wriggling out of her panties. Seeing her struggling, I simply grabbed the edge of her lace panties and ripped the damn thing off her body.A part of me expected Blair to be stunned by this, but as always, she proved me wrong. Instead, my mate only told me seriously, 'I want to burn then.'"A groan escaped me. I was shocked as we
*Maddox*“You motherfucker, you dared to do this?!" Another punch landed on my face accompanied by an enraged growl, and I toppled over as the chair I was sitting in was forcefully flipped."No!" Blair cried out, rushing to intervene and prevent Zander from inflicting further harm."Leave me, Blair!" he snapped, glaring at his sister."Zander, please, listen to me first," she pleaded desperately, refusing to release her grip on her brother's hand. Despite his anger, Zander wasn't forcefully pushing her away, aware she might get hurt.Zander trembled in fury, snarling, "You fucking bastard. I considered you my best friend. I trusted you as my Beta, and you tried to hit on my sister.""No, Zander, you've misunderstood," Blair squealed as he pulled his hand away from her grip and lunged at me. "Zander, please, listen to me," she begged."Let him be, Blair. Today, I've discovered how much my supposed best friend trusted me," I said in a mocking tone, observing Zander's clenched jaw. Just
*Selena*“I won't approve of it!” Zander’s voice echoed in the surroundings. “Just because you now need a mate, you turn to my sister. Otherwise, you were going to reject her. She is not your toy, Maddox,” he drawled in a dangerous tone. “You might be my best friend and the best warrior in my pack, my Beta, but none of these qualities can allow you to be worthy of being my sister's mate. Not after what you've done to her in the past,” his tone turned threatening.“Zander, it's about Blair and Maddox. Let her decide what she wants,” I pleaded as I looked into his eyes, but all I saw was anger as he glared at me.“Selena, stay out of this matter,” he gritted out, clenching his jaw, making me wince.So he was still angry with me, and I did not know what I should do to make him believe that I did not lie to him intentionally.“Zander,” Blaire spoke, “I have been in love with my mate throughout my life, even when I thought I could hate him or move on. But I was still in love with him the
*Avery*"Why are we heading to the Vampire Kingdom, Father? You know this will draw a lot of attention," I questioned my father, but he remained silent. The car glided smoothly along the road while he continued to gaze out of the window. His expression remained unreadable."Father, you're taking an enormous risk. We can't afford to attract undue attention to us, you know that," I warned him."Shut up, Avery," he sharply scolded, making me wince. "After spoiling my plan, you still have the audacity to complain," he spat with disgust, though his focus remained outside, his anger palpable."What did I do, Father?" I asked, my tone tinged with defiance.“Really, Avery?! Do you not know what you have done?! I gave you enough time to seduce Zander and make him fall in love with you, but you were unable to do this. Not only this, you were unable to eliminate Selena from your way. Now she is back in Zander's life, and my dream of becoming the king of the Werewolves will only remain a dream, un
*Thousands of years ago* Narrator’s POV. Once upon a time, in a world where supernatural beings coexisted with humans, Warlocks and Witches held dominion due to their superior powers. Residing in this realm was the remarkably beautiful werewolf princess, Arabella, whose father led a small pack as an Alpha. The news of her extraordinary beauty had spread far and wide across the world. Just a month after her 18th birthday, numerous marriage proposals began pouring in from distant lands. Yet, like any caring father, Arabella's father sought the most suitable match for her and declined each proposal that arrived. "Arabella, quickly get ready. You have to leave for the mating ball," her mother urged, entering the room with urgency. Arabella, lost in her thoughts while seated near the window, snapped out of her reverie as her mother approached. "Why, Mother?" Arabella inquired, seeking an explanation. "Because your father wanted you to go there," her mother replied. "Mother, I am tir
As the radiant moon cast its luminous glow upon the cobblestone pathway leading to the grand palace, Princess Arabella arrived in a carriage adorned with cascading roses and gilded accents. The carriage, drawn by majestic steeds, moved gracefully, the gentle clip-clop of their hooves resonating in the crisp night air. "Bella! Stop fidgeting with your fingers," Gina chastised her friend gently, a playful edge to her voice. "You're making me nervous too." "I can't help it, Gina. I don't know why my heart is so restless," Arabella confessed in a hushed tone, her hand instinctively finding its place over her fluttering heart. "Don't worry! King Zephyr is going to choose you as his mate at first glance. You'll see," Gina reassured her. "And you're going to find a handsome mate too," Arabella teased, a playful grin touching her lips. The air between them was filled with a shared sense of excitement and anticipation as they indulged in whimsical chatter, weaving dreams of their future.
As soon as the door closed, Zephyr pulled Arabella into his arms, causing her to gasp. She had never been in such proximity to any male before, and it was a new and incredibly nerve-wracking experience for her. "Are you nervous?" Zephyr whispered into her ear before kissing her neck. Arabella shivered in his arms as her hands clutched his regal robe. She nodded, becoming breathless. "Don't be nervous, princess. I will always cherish and love you as my Queen," he declared before claiming her lips. As if under a spell, Arabella succumbed to the passion demonstrated by Zephyr. She couldn't discern whether she was under the influence of magic or experiencing desire. Her slender arms wrapped around his neck as she wholeheartedly accepted him as her mate and King. Zephyr effortlessly shed their clothes with a snap of his fingers. He was a powerful warlock, a master of all magic. Arabella found herself in a mystical haze as Zephyr guided her to the bed, making her lie on her back. Hove
Arabella found herself confined within the palace walls. She was restricted from venturing beyond her room whenever Alpha Alexander was present in the palace. Her freedom was tethered to his comings and goings. She could only come out of her room when he departed for work or meetings. The arrangement left her feeling like a captive in her own home. Only a few trusted servants and maids were permitted to converse with her and cater to her needs. Arabella immersed herself in books, finding solace in the escape offered by the pages. “I need the book called 'Knight of the Crimson Moon.' Have you found it?" Arabella inquired, her voice laced with frustration. She had sent the maid to fetch her favorite book, but the maid returned empty-handed. "I scoured the library thoroughly, my lady, but regrettably, it remains elusive," the maid responded cautiously. "If you wish, I can retrieve another book for you," she offered politely. "Leave it," Arabella waved her hand dismissively. "I'll find
God Kaelvor took me to the Dark Realm with him, and the journey itself was an experience beyond imagination. His realm-traveling ship was unlike anything I had ever seen—crafted from gleaming obsidian and etched with silver runes that pulsed with a faint, rhythmic glow. The air inside was thick with power, a hum of energy that sent shivers down my spine.As we entered the dark realm, I braced myself for an endless void, for a world without light. But instead, we were greeted by a strange sight—there was illumination here, a soft glow from the swirling skies above that bathed the land in hues of violet and deep red. The terrain was rich with bizarre, otherworldly flora that seemed to thrive in the strange light. It wasn’t a barren wasteland, as I’d imagined, but a place that seemed... too alive.The people who walked the cobblestone streets looked anything but normal. They moved with mechanical precision, eyes fixed forward, faces cold and emotionless, as though bound by some unseen fo
"King Jasper," I murmured, keeping my gaze steady. "What are you going to do with the golden trident?" I asked, trying to read his expression.His face remained unreadable, but his grip on the trident tightened. "This weapon holds immense power," he said. "It can also possess whoever wields it, turning them into its slave. Keeping it in my possession would be too dangerous."I frowned. "Then what do you plan to do?""I can’t just leave it behind for another power-hungry monster to find," Jasper continued. "So I’ve decided to destroy it, rendering it useless. That way, its power will be absorbed back into the universe, never to be claimed again."Hearing his decision, I finally felt at ease. It reassured me that Jasper truly wanted peace among shifters and the entire paranormal world.Jasper placed the trident on the ground and instructed, “Take a few steps back.” We did as he said.He then chanted something in a hushed voice before raising his staff. A beam of light shot out, collidi
I looked around, my gaze sweeping over Alpha Albert, Cassandra, and Oliver. They stood beside Damon, their expressions unreadable—but not surprised. So Selena was right. They had been waiting for us to split up, hoping to take advantage and defeat us separately.I let out a low chuckle, my eyes locking onto Damon. “I also didn’t expect you to be hiding like a coward,” I taunted, a smirk curling at my lips. “The great ancient Warlock King—turns out he’s nothing but a weakling.”Damon’s eyes flared with fury as he slammed his golden trident against the cave floor, the impact sending a faint tremor through the ground. “Shut up!” he snarled. “I’m not a coward! I was waiting for the right moment.”“Whatever!” I snorted, my gaze flicking to his so-called army. “Yet here I am, alone, standing right in front of you in your own little domain—and you still need your pathetic lackeys to face me.”“We’ll see who’s pathetic,” Damon sneered, lifting his trident, ready to strike. But when I didn’t m
We followed the signal through the dense forest near the vampire kingdom. The eerie silence of the woods, broken only by the rustling of leaves underfoot, heightened the tension in the air. Suddenly, the signal flickered and then disappeared completely.“What’s going on?” I frowned, glancing at Jasper.His expression darkened as he tapped the tablet screen, trying to revive the lost signal. “She might have entered a magical zone—an area where all technology and external energies become useless.”I exhaled sharply, scanning the surroundings. “Then how do we track her now?”Jasper’s jaw tightened. “That’s exactly why Damon has remained hidden for so long.” He turned to me, his crimson eyes filled with steely determination. “But I’ll figure it out—I have to.”I could sense the weight of his words. Jasper knew as well as I did that Damon wasn’t just in hiding—he was planning something. He would definitely be desperate enough to reclaim a throne that had never rightfully been his. Sudden
*Zander* Selena had left with the High Priestess, and now the world believed we had broken up. To them, she thought I had betrayed her and wanted nothing to do with me. The deception was working as planned, yet the weight of it settled heavily on my chest.I had instructed my Gamma, Ethan, to keep a close watch on Alpha Albert and Anne, tracking their every move. If our suspicions were right, they wouldn’t be able to hide for long. But for now, all I could do was wait.And waiting was excruciating.Hours had passed, and I still hadn’t heard from Selena. The silence gnawed at me like a slow-burning fire. Lyon paced inside me, restless and agitated. Something felt wrong. We both knew the danger lurking in the shadows was closer than ever, and the longer we remained disconnected, the more unbearable the uncertainty became.A sudden mind link broke through my thoughts.‘Austin finally fell asleep,’ Blair’s voice came through, laced with exhaustion. ‘He cried himself to sleep after missin
*Selena*My heart sank at my mother’s sudden appearance. A wave of unease settled in my chest as I took in the solemn expression on her face.“What’s wrong, Mother?” I mumbled, dread creeping into my voice. “Why did you come so urgently to take me back to the Lunar Realm?”She hesitated, her lips pressing together as if choosing her words carefully. “Selena, the day is coming… in three days,” she finally said. “We need to find a way to save the world and to save—” She halted, stepping closer, her warm hand gently clasping mine. There was a softness in her gaze, a deep motherly affection that made my chest tighten. When she spoke again, her voice was barely above a whisper.“You.”A sharp breath left my lips. Three days?! My mind raced, panic clawing at my chest. My hands instinctively moved to my belly, cradling the life growing inside me. Could my baby feel the storm raging inside me? The fear? The uncertainty? I swallowed hard, forcing myself to stay strong.I needed time.“What’s g
"What do you want to know, baby?" I tried to coax her, my voice gentle. "I’ve already told you everything about the Dark Alpha."But the fire in her eyes reignited, and I knew I was in deep trouble even before she bellowed—"Alpha King, you better stop giving me lame excuses because I know that’s not true." She gritted her teeth, her frustration palpable. "So, you better start talking!"I sighed, knowing there was no way out of this. "Okay, my Luna," I bowed my head in surrender. "But please, promise me that after knowing the truth, you won’t hate me."Her eyes softened, and the sharp edges of her anger dulled. "I will never hate you, Zander," she whispered with such sincerity that it made my chest tighten. "But I need you to open up to me."Her words struck deep inside my heart, and in that moment, I wanted to bare my soul to her, to tell her everything I hadn't told anyone."I was born with the blessing to be the invincible Alpha and rule the werewolf community. But every gift comes
Just as I was about to step out, Maddox appeared at the doorway, blocking my path.“Luna, wait! Where are you going?” he asked, confusion etched across his face.I clenched my jaw, unwilling to explain.“Luna, I have Alpha’s orders. He told me to stop you—he’s coming home to talk to you,” he said, his tone firm, obeying his Alpha like the loyal Beta he was.I let out a bitter laugh. “Tell him to go to hell. I don’t care what he has to say—I’m leaving, and that’s final.”Maddox exhaled heavily, his expression torn. “Please, Luna,” he pleaded. “Don’t leave without talking to him first.”I glared at him, my eyes burning with the pain I was barely holding in. “Do you even know what he did to me?” I spat, my voice trembling.Maddox hesitated before answering. “Luna, I don’t know what you saw or what you think happened,” he admitted, sincerity clear in his voice. “But I do know one thing—Alpha loves you more than anything. He wouldn’t do something like this to you.”I shook my head, scoffin
*Selena*I didn’t know why Zander had texted me to meet him at this hotel, but I hurried over, excitement bubbling inside me. Maybe he had a surprise planned, or maybe he just wanted us to have some intimate time together. Either way, the thought sent a thrill through me.My heart pounded as I reached the room number he had mentioned. I smoothed down my dress, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door, waiting for him to open it.A few moments passed before the door finally swung open. But instead of Zander, Anne stood in the doorway—her robe barely tied, revealing far too much skin beneath it.My stomach dropped."Oh, Se… Selena…" she stammered, her voice laced with nervousness. She quickly pulled the robe tighter around herself, but the damage was already done.A cold dread washed over me. "What… what are you doing here?" My voice came out hoarse, barely above a whisper.Anne hesitated before forcing an awkward smile. "I… uh… I could ask you the same thing."I narrowed my eyes. "I
