GINA’S POVI was finally back in my room, after an enjoyable night filled with drinking and dancing.“Who knew werewolves were chill like that?” Kristen yelled from the bathroom, as I changed into my night dress. “It was fun,” I said, and it truly was. This was a different experience compared to the clubs back in town, where almost every man would attempt to grope you and harass you. No man came close here, and Wilona told me it had something to do with Devyn’s mark on me. I was starting to feel like he actually owned me.Liam danced with me for a while, and then he danced with Kristen. I started to notice Kristen swooning over him, which was unsurprising since Liam was a really hot guy, and Kristen had a penchant for hot men.I wished Devyn had come to the club with us, but somehow, I couldn't picture him dancing at the club. I had never even seen him having any sort of fun in his life, and I honestly couldn’t blame him. The plan was to loosen him up, so we could have enjoyable ti
I almost choked on my food, quickly grabbing my glass of water. My heart thrummed as I felt a jolt of shock coursed through me. I needed to say something but I couldn’t find the exact words to say. I was dumbfounded.I watched Devyn reach into his pocket, and pull out his phone. He dialled a number before placing it against his ear.“Sven, book a flight to Romania. Two seats.”He paused, attentively listening to Sven speak from the other end of the phone, then he spoke, “First class.”Kristen turned her gaze towards me at the same time I turned towards her. Her eyes wide as a subtle smirk played on her lips. She mouthed something I couldn’t quite hear, but I understood. A first class flight to Romania? How rich was Devyn?He ended the call and I took that moment to voice out my mind.“Isnt tonight too soon? I mean, everything is moving so quickly,” I argued, my body tensing. Devyn’s gaze on me hardened as his jaw twitched, and I felt myself wince. “We leave by eight pm.”I gave him
DEVYN’S POVThe ride till we got to the airport was silent, and I needed to hear Gina’s voice. I understood she needed time to process everything that was happening, having left the pack grounds for the first time since being taken away from her normal life. When we arrived at the airport, Sven was already there waiting for us.“Hi,” Gina’s voice finally broke the silence as she greeted Sven, who gaped at her. I recognized that look in his eyes, one I had seen in men’s eyes before, and I struggled to resist the urge to pluck his eyes out.Sven shifted his attention back to me when he could sense my intense glare burning through at him.Clearing his throat, he explained, “When you land in Bucharest, you’ll meet Cezar. He’ll provide you with the car I rented.”He gave me Cezar’s number, “Safe trip the both of you.”“Thank you, Gina responded with a smile as we walked past Sven. *******When it was finally time for our plane to board, we settled into our seats. Gina was seated in front
GINA’S POVI couldn't stop thinking about the kiss with Devyn. It had been totally unexpected, and so intense. When his tongue explored my mouth, I was losing every control in me. I would've found myself straddling his lap and eating up his face if the flight attendant hadn't interrupted our feat.Devyn was right. His touch had an undeniable effect on me, melting every part of my being as if his fingertips were on fire. I didn’t like that I easily fell under his charms, especially when the only reason he wanted me was because he saw me as a possession, his plaything.While I was here grappling with my feelings, Devyn was occupied with nothing but a hard dick.As I stared at my reflection in the mirror while washing my face, I noticed my cheeks remained flushed, the color fading slowly, and my lips were still swollen from our heated exchange. I wanted to feel his lips on mine again and his tongue consuming my mouth as I held onto his hair for my dear life. I noticed his erection and a
I couldn’t have been happier. While we still had to share a room, I was relieved that we wouldn’t have to share a bed as well. Devyn placed our luggage in a corner, and the sudden urge to pee overcame me. I rushed into the bathroom, forgetting to close the door behind me because of the urgency of the situation. I pulled down my pants as quickly as I could and sat on the toilet.Just as I was about to reach for the tissue paper to wipe, Devyn walked into the bathroom.“Oh my God, Devyn! Give me some privacy,” I shrieked at him.He stood at the wash basin, then turned to look at me. I covered my thighs with my hands as If that would shield anything.“I wasn’t even looking.”“Well, you’re looking now!” I snapped at him.“Only because you got my attention.”Sighing, I rubbed my temple, “You’re infuriating. Just leave.”Surprisingly, he left the bathroom after rinsing his face with water.When I had finished, I flushed and stepped out of the bathroom. My breath hitched in my throat when I
TRIGGER WARNING: This chapter contains some scenes of self-harm, which some people may find distressing.DEVYN’S POVI could barely sleep that night Gina poured out her heart to me. Standing in the bathroom, my hands leaning against the washbasin, I stared at my reflection in the mirror, feeling a deep hatred and disgust for what I saw.The old Devyn wouldn’t have given a fuck, but the new Devyn I was gradually becoming could barely take it. Gina’s words had impaled through my heart like a spear had been thrown through it. A burning pain overwhelmed me from within.My breathing became labored, nostrils flaring, and I could feel my body temperature rising like I was burning up with a fever.My blue eyes were glowing, and I could feel my fangs and claws emerging.I could feel my wolf’s displeasure and rage flowing through me and blending with my own. We were both angry, but not at Gina or my past or whatever.We were angry with ourselves.I had hurt her, continuously causing her pain, a
GINA’S POVThe drive was silent and I honestly preferred it that way. The streets were getting filled with people walking, stores were beginning to open, and vehicles were driving along the roads. My gaze remained fixed outside, as I admired Bucharest. The city had been beautiful at night, but it was breathtaking in the morning. The snow added more to its beauty as it landed on the roofs of buildings and lined the streets. Sighing, I cast a quick glance at Devyn, and our eyes met immediately. I turned around, embarrassed he had caught me. I was mad about last night, and I didn’t know how long I was going to hold onto this beef I had with him. I always heard a woman giving a man the silent treatment would make him slowly lose his mind, until he would surrender to her. And that was what I intended to do.I glanced back at him, wondering where the sudden claw marks on his body had come from, but decided not to ask him about it.I needed him to know that I was furious at him, and I was
DEVYN’S POVShe remained silent, gazing out of the window again like I didn't just say something. Her attitude, her silence… it was frustrating to say the least, and I was already getting tired of our childish banter.“Look at me,” she didn’t respond. Watching her, the road, and the map at the same time was becoming challenging. “Please.”It seemed like whenever I pleaded with her politely, she listened. I was going to have to be doing a lot of pleading if I needed to get her full attention. Her amber eyes met mine and I couldn’t help but get lost in them.“You should focus more on the road, so we don't get into an accident,” she said, her tone harsh as she glared at me.“As long as I'm driving, we’ll be fine,” I paused, “And I need to look at your face as we talk.”“Why?”“It’ll make me talk better.”Her features softened instantly, and I noticed her cheeks were starting to get red, though she was trying hard not to show it.I looked back at the road, took a deep breath, then glance
Six years later.As I open the fridge to get my orange juice, my heart almost leaps out of my chest as Conri jumps out of the fridge. “Boo!”“Oh my goddess! How the hell did you even get in there?” I shriek as I place a hand on my racing heart to calm it down.”Language,” Conri yells, giggling like he just did the funniest shit in the world. He tries to run but I grab his cheek and pinch as I scold him.“Ow! Dad! Mom is hurting me,” he screams as he manages to free himself out of my grasp and run to the living room. Feeling frustration and a headache coming in, I rub my temple as I exit the kitchen, completely forgetting my orange juice. When my gaze falls on Devyn and Praya, I feel warmth creep into my chest. He lifts his gaze and stares at me with admiration and love in his icy blue eyes. As I walk closer to him, I giggle when I see what Praya did to him. He has a large pink bow in his hair, and he’s seated on a stool as Praya paints his nails, her focus unwavering.I cross my arm
GINA’S POVI found myself in a field, lying as I gazed at the skies. I wasn't sure where I was, but it felt and looked like paradise. The moon’s gaze met and I felt a sense of serenity. A hand suddenly caught my attention as it reached out to me. Without hesitating, I took it and I was pulled off the ground. As I stood on my feet, my breath hitched when Praya stood in front of me.My heart warmed as I pulled her into an embrace. “I missed you so much. I’m here now,” I whispered into her neck, breathing in her scent. She was real because I could feel every part of her; from the beating of her heart and the warmth radiating from her body. When I looked in front of me, my mother was standing there, waiting, with a genuine smile on her face. We pulled away from our embrace and Praya held my hand, guiding me further into paradise as she spoke, “Now we can be together.”I followed, my heart radiating with joy. When I reached my mother, I wrapped my arms around her and sank my face into
DEVYN’S POVMy whole world stopped as I held Gina in my arms. It all happened in a flash. With shaky hands, I pulled the blade out of her heart, and my heart sank deeper when she bled more. I pressed a hand to her bloodied chest, trying to stop the bleeding while I caressed her hair with my other hand.“Stay with me, please, stay with me,” was all I kept mumbling. Her amber gaze held mine, but she wasn't there… she wasn't looking. My heart twisted painfully as I felt her heartbeat slow against my palm. Standing on my feet, I carried her in my arms. She felt heavier than usual, her head fell back and her arms sagged lifelessly as I ran. She was still alive, though her heartbeat was faint. There was still a chance to save her. The fight had stopped as the monsters fell dead, probably because their master was dead, but I couldn’t care less… reviving her was the only thing on my mind. I never took my eyes off her face, hoping for some sort of miracle, to see those eyes come back to lif
The energy flowing through me was like nothing I had ever felt before. It rushed through my veins, sending power to my heart. When I looked down my hand, it completely healed, like I was never wounded. The pain in my back and my head was gone, and I felt fucking alive.My eyes fell on the dagger on the ground. It was at a distance but I could see it clearly like it was in the palm of my hand. I walked to it, and in a split second, I had the dagger in my hand. Eyeing the dagger, it grew in my hand until it became a sword.Perfect.I walked towards Wilona until I stood in front of her. Though she was bigger than me, I felt like a giant as she cowered.‘Fuck you!’ she growled and clawed my face, only because I let her. My blood stained the ground, but immediately, I felt my wounds close up.When she saw she was no match for me, her panicked voice shrieked in my mind.’Get away from me!’Rage coursed through me, as I recalled everything she did.“I won’t let you live for all you’ve done.
Everything happened in a flash. Wilona charged towards me and just as she was about to lunge at me, Liam jumped in and clashed into her. They fought, their bodies crashing into the ground and against the walls as they bit and clawed at each other.‘I don't know why you're doing this, but I’m not going to let you kill her!’Liam’s voice boomed in my mind just as he dodged a claw attack from Wilona, and sent her crashing to the ground.‘What do you even have for her that you’re willing to protect her? That you’re willing to lay your life for her?’ Wilona responded as their conversation echoed in my mind.‘Because it’s my duty and I'll protect her till I die.’His words made my heart thump.Wilona circled him, as she snarled, ‘Then die.’She surged forward, and slashed Liam across the face with one vicious swipe. My breath caught at the sight of his blood splattering on the floor. My gaze fell on Kristen who watched everything from a corner, her body trembling visibly.I had to get her o
My head ached as I regained consciousness, and when my vision adjusted to my surroundings, I found myself lying on a bed. Turning, I saw Kristen by my side, her eyes filled with concern.“You’re awake, thank goodness,” she exclaimed, pulling me into a tight hug. As she held me, her body shook and I realized she was sobbing.Looking around, I realized we were being kept in a well-furnished luxurious room, surprised we weren't locked in a dark dungeon. I recalled the events before I passed and when Damien’s face flashed in my mind, my blood boiled with rage.“I’m scared, Gina. I can’t even remember how I got here,” Kristen’s voice made my heart sink. When I looked at her body and the cuts on her body, my anger intensified even more.I clutched her face in my hand, and wiped her tears with my thumb, “I understand how you feel. I’m so sorry you got dragged into this, but I promise, I’m going to get us out of this shithole.”She nodded her head, and I was glad she had faith in me. I walked
It didn’t take more than an hour till I got to my destination. Immediately we drove through the gates, there was an uneasy feeling that washed over me. I peered through the window, observing my surroundings. Everything seemed and looked normal, yet, it was far from it.When the car came to a halt, the driver who had been silent the entire ride opened the door for me, and I stepped out reluctantly. When I looked up, I found myself standing in front of a huge dark mansion. I would’ve admired the remarkable architecture if not for the feeling of anxiety creeping down my spine. There was something thick in the atmosphere that made my skin crawl and I couldn't understand what it was.I took a deep breath as I walked ahead, being led to the mansion’s entrance by two large men. As the door opened, we stepped into the mansion, walking through wide long halls. When we reached the next doorway, the door swung open, revealing a majestic dining room. The interior was breathtaking with golden re
GINA’S POVAt the mention of his name, my body went stiff as rage coursed through me. He not only attacked our pack while we were gone but also had to kidnap my best friend.Devyn snatched the phone from Liam and put it to his ear.“What are you playing at, you fucking bastard?” he spat out, his voice filled with venom. As the conversation went on, all I could think about was the horrible things he could do to Kristen. We knew just how evil he was, but didn’t know what he was capable of doing.Devyn looked frantic, and for a second, I thought he was going to toss the phone away. Reluctantly, he handed me the phone.“He wants to speak to you specifically.”Wasting no time, I grabbbed the phone and placed it against my ear.“Put it on speaker. I want to hear what he says to you,” Devyn instructed and I obeyed as I pressed the speaker button.“Gina.”Chills went through my spine, leaving an uneasy feeling within me. I hated the way he said my name, and I wished he’d never say it again.
DEVYN’S POVAs we walked out of the church, Flora along with the other witches was underneath the tree, waiting. The moment we were out, they walked towards us. I had a hand on Gina’s waist, guiding her protectively.After the ritual, she was different. She was more tender, and quieter, and her scent had changed too. She normally smelled more like a human, but this time she smelt more like a wolf, but not completely one.“I see it was successful,” Flora chimed as a triumphant expression etched on her face, “And quick too.”Gina nodded lightly and I couldn’t help but feel pride. She was special, and it didn’t just have to do with her destiny and her abilities. She was brilliant, a quick learner and unique.“Now you’re going to face what’s ahead of you. Are you ready? You’re going to fight the real fight now,” she said, directed to Gina.I could feel Gina’s emotions even as she tried to hide her uncertainty and anxiety. I couldn’t blame her. She never got to fight, and now she was goin
