Bella's POVMy heart sank into my chest as I stared at Jace with my eyes widened. Every part of me was shaking vehemently with hot tears brimming in my eyes. I had no strength to rush forward and stop him from rejecting me, and even as I saw him pull out that solver knife, I still tried to convince myself that he was not going to do it. Jace can't reject me. He loves me so much and is ready to make any sacrifice to ensure that I am happy. Yes, that was what he told me."I am really sorry, Bella. After I am done, please don't stress your parents and leave. In a short period, my memory will leave your head and you won't remember I existed. That will help you find the right mate for yourself, because I am not the one" He muffled, swallowing hard and sniffing back the tears rolling endlessly down from his eyes to his cheeks."You are not... doing this for real! I can never believe you would reject me. Go on with your prank, love " I beamed even in sadness, waiting for him to smile back a
Jace's POVI was at the door of the palace, taking a deep breath of anxiety. I was swallowing lumps in my throat and trying hard to calm myself down as my brain went wild with different thoughts about what could be the problem. The way everyone in and outside the royal packhouse was staring at me while I was heading here was something to be worried about. The environment was so tense and odd. No giggling and cheerful discussion by the maids or girards on duty. "What really happened again?" I asked myself, as I kept gathering courage to enter the palace. "It can't be that they are saying the truth. It is all a trap and if there is anyone to fall into it, that person will surely be Jace!" I slightly heard Sophia's voice. She must have screamed so hard that it enabled me to hear her voice from outside."What are you standing there doing, traitor?" I heard one of the guards huffing at me, and that made me look up to see their familiar faces. These men had been like buddies to me. The o
Jace's POV I was pulled away from her body. The guards dragged me off while I struggled to wake her up. It had been up to an hour since I slumped beside her, crying and tugging at her lifeless body while screaming her name. I was praying so hard that it should all turn into a nightmare, but my prayers are not being answered.It was a terrific sight that shattered my heart into tiny pieces, leaving me broken. I felt like my world was coming to an end. This should not be Lola. That was what I was yelling, but I am not blind to see that it was truly her even when the face isn't recognized."Leave me alone, monsters!" I snarled at the royal guards while fighting to get myself freed from their grip so I could go back to Lola's body and wake her up. The sharp pain in me can't be measured; it kept growing deeper and deeper, sinking to the core.For the first time in my entire life, I felt like killing myself. After all my sacrifices,I just lost my mate because of her. The whole pack is aga
Sophia's POV "What are you talking about?" I frowned while trying to get it all settled in my head. It was clear that the charm had gone off in his eyes, leaving me befuddled at how possible it was. How can he get back to his senses now when I have a lot of things to deal with right now?"You know what I am talking about? You know how you made me lose my mind and become obsessed with you? What have I done? What has the pack done to you? What really is your mission here?!" He bawled with his fists clenching tight while he took a threatening step forward.There was sheer anger in his eyes, and it was so clear he would be pouncing on me soon, and I wouldn't hesitate to beat the daylight out of him. I rose from the bed, ignoring him as I moved to the stool, sat on it and kept my gaze on the mirror."You aren't answering my questions! What do you want?!" From behind, he yelled again.This time, his voice was sharper and shook the ground, reminding me that he comes from an alpha bloodline.
I quickly grabbed her hand to feel her skin, because it was so unreal to have her in front of my door at this moment. Even if she was able to hide her wolf scent, who was that girl I saw dead? There is no difference between her and Lola. Nothing to fish out as a difference, so maybe Lola's spirit is here to sooth me. "Why are you just feeling my hand and letting me stand here, outside your room?" You don't love me again? Have you found another lover and don't want me back in your life? Is that so? " Her thin and melodious voice rang in my ears as I fixed my gaze on her face, tears streaming down my cheeks."Are you real?" I asked, fluttering my eyes as my heart thudded so hard inside my chest. I was feeling fear building up in me. That fear makes it hard to think or say anything. She is right here in front of me, but I fear so much that she will soon vanish. That is how it happens in movies when your deceased loved ones come to visit you. They always disappear in a cluster of and le
"So how did it all happen? How were you able to escape the hunters and trick them into killing another person that isn't you?" Blake asked, as we both lay on the bed looking into each other's eyes after we were done bathing separately. I can't believe how hard it was for me to decline his request to bathe together with me.I was just so nervous and shy.His hair was still wet, and I could see water dripping down his face as he smiled sweetly at me. For some minutes, I couldn't reply to his question as I got myself lost in how handsome he looked. He was just too cute that I felt overwhelmed with the fact that we were mates. Recalling my past, I could only smile more. It had been so tough that I thought I would die. Death was really so close to me, with its claw ready to rip life out of me, but when it all seemed over, when it seemed like there was no way out, the vampire prince was the one who saved me. Not from an enemy, but from the same people I saw as family and friends. My pack m
I opened my eyes slowly and cringed as I felt a cold body lying on my lap. I was tied to a chair in a sitting position in such a way that I couldn't move any part of my body except my head. The room was dim because I could see through the window that it was getting close to dawn, the moment when my life would cease to exist.My eyes lowered to whatever was resting on my lap and there was the body of Lola, stark naked and it seemed to be embalmed with the smashed face wrapped.I was about to scream in sadness when it occurred to me once again that the body wasn't truly Lola's. The strong belief was pumping through my veins, but I was also heartbroken to realize that even if Lola was still alive, I wouldn't be able to see her because, in a few hours, my body would be hanging in the market square gallows, with everyone spitting at me.Hot tears seared my eye sockets and flowed down like two springs, pouring down to my chest. I could feel my heart thumping as the terror of death struck ev
Sophia's POVThe very second I stepped out of the room where Jace was, I felt uneasy. Something seemed uncanny about the environment, but I couldn't lay hand on anything. I looked around to check if there was any sign of strange movements or whatever, but nothing was different. It was still early in the morning and the guards were yet to wake, except those guarding the outside. Taking slow but steady steps down the stairs, I still felt disturbed. My instincts were urging me to go back and check on Jace, which I don't know why, as that was where I just came out from. He's tied to the peak and can only shake his head because the ropes would hurt him if he tried to wiggle out his hands or legs.A gasp slipped my lips as I picked up a bottle of vodka from the bar. I need to clear my head and start planning the most effective way to find Lola. It was great news that she is alive, as that only means there is hope, but then, I don't know how much love Jace has for her.I had mentioned usin
"I know you regretted saving me when your pack Alpha and Torian tortured you for it. I am sorry," he mumbled meekly, placing his palms on my cheek and caressing it with his thumbs."I did, but now I am grateful to God for that action. See where it got us to? You are now my king!!" I squeaked abruptly as adrenaline rushed through me."Yes! I am so happy that I chose your room to run in! You are now my queen!!!" He squeaked too, and just as if we both had it in mind, our heads drew forward and both lips connected in a deep kiss. Our eyes closed as we devoured each other's lips like our lives depended on it.At that moment, I felt like I was floating on the moon with no one other than Blake. The way he suckled and licked my lips was just so sweet and sexy that I felt myself getting wet.His hands were roaming from my neck down to my butt, and each squeeze on my butt sent electric shocks that made me lose control of my brain. I was getting so turned on.But in the middle of everything, an
Lola's POVI opened my eyes and felt the sun rays radiate into the room and right into my face, forcing me to shut my eyes and spin to the other side of the bed before opening it again.I don't know what time it was and how I ended up on the bed. With squinted eyes, I racked my brain, trying hard to remember how I ended up on the bed, but nothing was registering inside my head. All I could remember was that moment when they all knelt and bowed to me, pleading that I should rule over them.Had I passed out?Taking a deep breath, I sat up from the bed and my eyes scanned all around the room and recognized it to be Blake's room. His scent was all that kept oozing from every corner of the room, including the bed. That sweet sandalwood and fresh earth after rainfall would easily make you drool over him.My eyes lowered to my body and I flinched at seeing what I was clad in. The royal robe which is being worn by the vampire queen. This was the type of gold robe I had seen Blake's mother wea
"Time to see the love of your life for the last time before death. You won't believe she doesn't care if you die or live, even after all you have done for her; how you risked your life and everything just to keep her safe. Don't you think she is being so selfish?" The Demon king mumbled into Blake's ears while untying the knots.My heart was racing so fast as I tried not to hide my happiness, which was boiling inside me. I knew Blake was also aware that we had gotten the last chance to set things right. Deep in his chest, there must be the same race going on in his heart. Once we get to look into each other's eyes, we will be able to share powers. For real, I can't take out the deadly serpent inside him. That is because my powers aren't enough, but the moment I transfer all the inner energy and magic to him through eye contact, He would be able to force it out himself.I peered at the black cloth covering his mouth and saw his lips had curled into a smile, making me feel so elated th
"You allowed yourself to get controlled by a petty charm because you are a fool who only wants to fuck all beautiful girls. I don't give a fuck about you any more, but you have no right to stop me from killing the man who killed my parents! " Lola yelled in his face and slammed him on the table behind."Go to hell!" Darren bellowed from he stood, and just as Lola turned to him, he sharply pierced a sword into her belly, burying all the blade in with a shout of victory which ended abruptly when he saw Lola smile instead of wincing or crying out in pain.Everywhere became dead silent as everyone watched with wide eyes, seeing her bleed. I was frozen in fear, wondering what would really happen next.Just then, Lola burst into mocking laughter, which shook everyone. "You are a fool to think this can kill a hybrid like me, not even the wolfsbane and silver mixture rubbed on this sword can get me killed. I am here to save the wolf world from the demons, but you only want me dead to bury yo
Sophia's POVJust when his blow was about to hit hard in her face, Lola swerved to the right, forcing Alpha Darren to lose balance and fall to the ground, as no one ever expected her to be able to dodge it when his blow was already so close to her face.The speed at which she dodged the punch was so extreme that it seemed like a flash. No one had ever seen anyone with such speed and swiftness, and seeing Lola do that really made them all cringe and shout in shock.My father was the most terrified one, because he knew what it all meant. He knew that it was all over for the demons who planned to get her killed. Lola has escaped the claw of death with a slight slip. His eyes darted at me, and I heard his voice inside my heart. "Don't tell me her powers have been unlocked? How possible? Did anyone tell her about it?" His tone was really tense and kept cracking. Our eyes were locked on each other, and I could notice a trace of suspicion in his eyes directed at me." You don't seem afrai
Sophia's POVThere was no trace of a smile on her face; neither did those eyes have any glimmer of warmth. It was filled with rage as she looked around, and when those eyes fell on me, I felt my blood run cold as my legs lost the strength to carry my body, making me fall to my knees. "Please don't kill me. I am so sorry for all I have done. I swear. Please don't kill me... " I was crying and shaking in fear while pleading with the girl in front of me.A girl who had once been my slave and someone I could hit anytime and anywhere. Someone who doesn't have the right to say or do anything instead of following my orders and those of Torian.As I was on my knees begging for my life, the past came rushing in, starting from that day she barged into Torian's house to see he was having his birthday celebration without telling her. I could recall how pained she was, especially when she caught me kissing Torian.She was a weak, nerdy girl then and can never be compared with the beast in front o
Lola's POVI had woken up with a bad omen. It was so strong that my heart began to thump so fast and loud. After sleeping late last night, I overslept on the bed, and waking up now, I realized it was almost afternoon. My eyes opened and I saw I was the only one on the bed. I sat up from the bed, recalling what had just happened last night. I couldn't help the smile that slipped across my lips. It was my first sex, and for real, Blake marked me.The joy we had after dealing with Vienna made us kiss so deeply and passionately that it really ended with sex. Yes, we succeeded in making Vienna keep the secret alongside her pretending deaf friend, which was great news as I was now safe inside this kingdom.Blake was so careful and gentle with me. The way he suckled my nipples and licked down my belly button was really enticing. The moment his tongue got to my pussy, I felt so many sensations, so pleasurable that my lips broke apart from moaning.It was so sweet that I felt my pussy drippi
Torian's POV My heart seemed like it was being shredded into tiny pieces as hot tears flooded down my cheeks while I watched the scene playing in front of me.I was gasping for breath, hoping silently that this would be some kind of hallucination which would later clear off, but my mother's cry of pain kept hitting my ears and making it clear that it wasn't any sort of illusion. It was happening for real. My beloved mother was being raped in front of me."Dad, look at what he is doing to your mate, my mother!" I shrieked in agonizing pain, but not even my powerful father could do anything at that moment. It seemed like he was pinned to the throne. Not even his body could move. I tried all I could do to get off the ground and stop the beta from going on, but I have literally lost all strength in me. My bones seemed like they were crushed. All my muscles were so fatigued and worn out.I had to shut my eyes as it was traumatic to watch your mother being raped without being able to do a
"You are really wise enough to take my advice. If you had said any other words, you would be a dead man now" I shrugged, plopping on the bed as I looked away from his face to avoid those eyes, which seemed to have love charm in them."I saw the fury in my father's eyes. There was no trace of love or compassion as he looked at me. It was like I was prey to be devoured. He doesn't love or care about me anymore. " Torian breathed in a very sad tone, sniffing as he leaned his head against the wall."That's why you should stay away from him and don't try to stop whatever he is doing or try to disobey him." I replied with a deep sigh as I know how tough this will be. Torian will sit back and watch his father do a lot of evil. Alpha Darren will do things that have never been heard of in the history of the wolf kingdom. It will bring more casualties because they will try to stop him without knowing he has immeasurable powers now."When did my father turn like this? I was in a coma for just a
