To feel that kind of potent need was strange and dangerous. The moment I smelled the luscious scent of the man's blood, I was so certain that there was no stopping for me. That it was either he would die or I would. The latter sounds impossible, though. So I knew that the first was more likely to happen.
But for some reason, I don't know how Landon managed to stopped me. I don't know how he managed to calm me at a point where I thought I had lost my ability to be rational. He was able to put out the fire that he knew would cause the biggest regret of my life. And more than thankful that he did. Because I don't know what I could have done to myself later on if ever I had killed that man.
The door opened and it was followed by Landon's baritone voice. "Had you completely calmed yet?"
During the incident in the hallway earlier, after I came back to my senses, I ran to the other side where the man was standing and went to
"I have an urgent news, My Lord." Henry just suddenly appeared from the shadows when Landon and I were walking at his manor's hallway. We are about to leave for the ball."Is this matter very urgent?" Landon asked, his hand did not leave my waist."I suppose.""Speak.""Sebastian is gone."Landon's eyes went focused and darker. "What do you mean he is gone?""He is dead, My Lord."I have once met this man named Sebastian. He is also one of the few trusted subordinates of Landon that is why to hear about his sudden death did not sound good. In fact, I wonder. Vampires don't die in natural deaths, most especially not in accidents. So there must be one reason why he died—he was killed."Who killed him?" Landon's tone sound so silent and lethal, I felt like he is ready to burn the culprit alive for killing his subordinate. Of course Landon is not dumb. By now he surely have an idea why Sebastian was killed. It must be to prov
"What is this?" I asked Landon when he brought me to an old manor somewhere in north Manchester.Right after he had killed Maximilian, he killed his two wives and Maximilian's people were killed by Henry and Landon's other men. We left the place shortly. Then the day after, Landon brought me in this place with me having no idea what business are we going to do in this place."Your ancestor's manor. This is owned by Elena Ross, the mother of Elizabeth," Landon replied."Elena Ross? The name doesn't ring a bell. As far as I know, Grandma Elizabeth's mother named Celestine, not Elena.""Celestine…" He nodded. "Must be the name she used when she started a new life with her husband.""You mean she changed her name? But what for?" If it was Landon the one who said it, I'm sure it is not a fallacy or something. I don't know why it come to him, I trust easily. Why would he lie about this matter anyway?
Helion singlehandedly wiped out the whole Westville pack? That’s unbelievable. How did he become so strong and powerful? Oh right, I remember. He took the Necklace of Divinity that was supposed to be mine. He coveted my position in the pack because he has ulterior motives all along. He wanted to take me down and replace me because he was thirsty for power.That fucking traitor. He really deserves to die in my hand. I will kill him at all cost. No matter what happen, I will kill him. I definitely will. His life is the price of his betrayal, and I will not let get away with it.I finished my drink and immediately left. I took the secret route to my pack’s base. It’s at the back of the mountains, then to the tomb of our pack’s deceased members, and then to the back entrance of the base. It is the easiest way in. I don’t think I would make it in without successfully alerting anyone, though. But since I am wise, of course I have plans for that.
Helion looked at me darkly. He showed no emotion so I was wondering what he was thinking. I realized he really changed a lot. It’s obvious in the way he looks, in the way he moves. He has good looks back then, I admit, but now… well, I guess maturity can do a lot of things to a person.“Go back,” he demanded coldly. “I don’t accept disciples.”No way. you should accept me!I looked at him with challenging eyes. There’s no way I will let him win this game. I will insist until he accepts me. I can’t just go back, can I? This is my place after all. The place I built on my own, so how the hell did he have the right to make me leave like he didn’t owe his life from me?I wanted to blurt all those things to him but I know I should calm myself because if I won’t, I’d just ruin the pretense and it won’t do good to me. I should be patient as of the moment so that when time comes that I
So the plan is… gain Helion’s trust while I’m regaining my power and plot things behind his back so that when time comes that I will be the alpha again, everything will go smoothly as I planned. I will also take the opportunity to know all his secrets, his weaknesses so that I would have something to use against him. I will also try to have people while I’m pretending as an innocent disciple. And one more thing… Should I flirt with him and make him fall in love with me so that it’s easier to stay by his side? Think of it. if I can easily make it by his side, and stay for a long time without him doubting me, making that move is the key right? Right. I guess that way is easier. Because as I can observe right now, Helion is very cold and aloof to the people, especially to me. He’s even so indifferent to that female subordinate of his when it’s pretty obvious that she has feelings for him. That’s why if I can make it to his heart, he would trust me and it’s easie
After years, I finally picked a dress to wear at Jacob’s birthday celebration. Even though I was never feminine nor the every man’s ideal woman, I know that as Nadia, I have a face of a beauty. Everyone knows that, but no man dared to hit me because of one fact: I am the most powerful living woman across all packs. They are too scared to try. I’m glad no one did though. Not because I’m not a fan of love, but that time up to this moment, I have more important things to deal with than finding myself a suitable man. besides… I don’t want to make a mistake again when it comes to trusting people.I glared at the female commandant when I saw her outside my chamber. She glared back at me and was obviously about to say something but I walked past her and went straight to Helion’s chamber. The hell I care with that woman. She is one of those people that I should ignore. Poor worthless beings.“Alpha?” I sat on the waiting a
“Alpha!” someone yelled outside the east manor that caught everyone’s attention.We went to see and I was shocked when I saw that there’s a man outside and another man who’s carrying a lifeless woman. My forehead creased. What the hell is happening?Death.Something I never feared of. But at that moment, for the first time, I got scared. I wasn't scared of my own death, but for his - my uncle.Sometimes I think, why are we even born when at the end, we'd just all die? I always wonder why beautiful things tend to end tragically. Just like life. No matter how beautiful your journey was, you'd still end up taking that one, narrow path that leads to one destination. Death.They say, it's not the end that matters. What's important is what your journey entails. The moments you shared with your loved ones, the smiles and laughs you spent with them, and all the things you experienced.Standing on the rooftop of the hosp
Illusion.Yes. That was it. All of that is not true. Maybe it was the product of stress and too much frustration. It can't be possible, I said to myself when I woke up on my bed the next day.I remember everything that happened on the rooftop. What the man said and what I saw in his eyes. I also remembered how Nari came and called me. And the next second, the stranger disappeared on thin air as if he wasn't even there. Nari didn't even see him. So, I thought everything that happened was just an illusion.Maybe Uncle's situation triggered something in my head. I got a trauma long time ago, so maybe that is the reason why hallucinations resurfaced again.I got up despite the weight of the body. I bathed and got dressed. I'm going to the hospital to replace Nari in taking care of Uncle.Nari is a close friend. She just forced me to go home last night to rest. I didn't agree at first, but thinking about all those strange things I saw, I thought I really needed t
