CHLOE“Hello, mates. My name is Grayson Smith, and I’m a member of the group.”“Fuck!!” Before I could stop myself, the words were already out of my mouth.This was not what I wanted. It was wrong having him as a groupmate. Was the universe pulling a fast one on me? The universe already knows I don’t like vampires, especially ones like him, who don’t know how to apologize when they are wrong. He’s bad news, and he’s going to slow down our work, causing us to fall behind schedule.Then he dared to bring a blonde who wasn’t ready to let go of him. The sight of them disgusted me, and I demanded that they leave the group or I would have to leave. In any case, I couldn’t stand him. “What strings did you pull to get yourself into my group? Isn’t it bad enough that you’re already getting on my nerves, and now you’ve brought your Bambi here to annoy and slow us down?” I slammed my fist against the desk.“Take it easy, tiger,” Axel said, trying to calm the situation.“It’s Scarlett, and why s
CHLOEIt’s been three days, and the project is coming along nicely. I expected it to be difficult having both of them around, but Grayson had given me the space I needed, probably because he knew his presence was making me uncomfortable.I was relieved he wasn’t coming around too frequently, only when he needed to submit the ones he'd written to Axel, who would then forward it to the group. The only problem was Bambi. She kept putting off the work and asking everyone to help her. It was exhausting, but Diego was willing to help her while all she did was make a fool of herself around Grayson.I sighed and leaned against my locker. I was completely exhausted. Being a leader was not an easy task. I had to put every piece of work on the slide that would be presented on Monday, and some work was still incomplete.“This is going to be an exhausting day for me,” I said to no one as I opened my locker to get my books for today’s classes.I hadn’t been able to sleep all night. I had been up la
GRAYSONI should be on my way home to meet with my father to report on my school activities and how seriously I’m taking my schoolwork to avoid being watched by him or being told to return home and relocate to another city. I didn’t want to be so far away from home. I wanted to be close by, to feel the presence of mother nature.Yes, I was supposed to go home to my father and report to him, but I found myself back in her room. This was the eighth time I’d done this, wandering around and ending up in her room, but today her room was empty and the smell of her shampoo lingered, indicating that it hadn’t been long since she left. Her pheromones and everything about her aroused me. This shouldn’t be happening to me, and I shouldn’t feel this way about her.I had been watching her every move and knew everything she did, her daily routine, where she went after school if her father didn't pick her up, what time she finished her assignment, what time she was on her phone, and when she went t
GRAYSON“Son, be careful out there. It has begun.”I hadn't expected a message from my mother, let alone one like that. I kept staring at the message because I couldn't figure out what she meant by “it has begun.” I tried calling her, but her phone number was not connecting.I couldn’t stop wondering what had happened and what danger lay ahead, but I didn’t want to get entangled in whatever danger was lurking around; I just wanted to have fun without encountering anything.I had just put my phone in my pocket and was about to descend the stairs when I felt someone tugging at my clothes. When I turned around, I was surprised to see Chloe holding my shirt.“What the hell? What the fuck do you want now?” I questioned her.“I came here to apologize to you,” she said as she averted her gaze from mine.“Huh?”“I apologize for accusing you wrongfully. I assumed you were the one who wrote it, given that you have been bullying me, stealing my things, asking your friends to tease me, and callin
CHLOEAfter my run-in with Grayson, I told myself that avoiding him was the best thing that could happen to me. Today being the day of the presentation made me smile. The group would be dissolved after today, and I would be back with just my friends. There would be no Grayson or Scarlett to ruin or irritate me.“Are you ready, Chloe?” Trisha called out.“Yes, Mum, I’m coming down right now,” I yelled, running down the stairs to find Damien and her already seated and waiting for me. After greeting them, I sat next to Trisha and we ate our breakfast quietly. Breakfast was unusually quiet, with neither of them speaking or bickering as they usually did.It was a strange sight to see. This was the first time I was having a peaceful breakfast. A breakfast without Damien teasing me and Trisha rescuing me. I wanted to ask because I had a feeling something was going on.Damien cleared his throat just as I was about to say something. “I’m sorry, but I won’t be able to pick you up from school to
CHLOE“Warnings should be heeded and taken seriously,” Damien was fond of saying.I should have been cautious and listened to him, but not listening for once and breaking some rules sounded like fun to me. I thought for once I could have fun, be distracted from what was going on around me, and tell myself that everything would be fine, so being chased by vampires was the last thing I expected to happen today. How did I end up in this situation?I had agreed to go to the game center with Amalia and the boys, but we had lost track of time while having the time of our lives. By the time we realized it, it was 10 p.m. We had been interested in trying new games, which kept us so engrossed that we had forgotten all about the killings, kidnapping, and Damien’s warnings.“Shoot! I’m dead meat!” I told myself. Damien and Trisha would be looking for me right now. The bus would have left by now, and the next one would arrive around 11 p.m. It would be too late to wait an extra hour and get home
GRAYSONI was back in the same place I couldn’t escape from, back in the room that kept me sane while also arousing my sexual desires, back in the room that calmed my nerves. Yes, I was a regular guest in her room. I was so attached to her that I couldn’t end my day without coming to see her. Today, I wanted to be alone in her room and just lay there resting.I had overheard her and her friends discussing going to a game room, so that was my chance to stay here alone. Her window was open as usual. It made me angry but also happy. With everything going on in town, she shouldn’t be leaving her windows open, but if she did, I wouldn’t be able to enter her room.I couldn’t just walk up to her door and tell her parents I was a friend when we didn’t even exchange pleasantries in school. I was someone she hated and didn’t want to be near. Even so, she needed to be cautious because her dad was a cop and safety should be their top priority.I climbed into her room, and the first thing that gr
VAMPIRE KINGI was running out of time. Everything had managed to go wrong so far as everyone my troop had captured so far was all the wrong persons, none of them was the hybrid and they had to be killed and thrown close to my pack after having seen my face.Every time I'd visited the hybrid's dream to torture them, their face was always blurred out, leaving me frustrated as I couldn't even tell their gender, or talk more about what they looked like. The witches weren't being of much help in recent developments too, I didn't care what rules they had to break or how much dark magic they needed to use, I would do whatever it took to find the one who was to end my reign as the vampire king.I need to get rid of the one who was to stake me or decapitate me, before they get their awakening and begin to work towards their mission and I didn't care who had to go along the way, as long I got what I wanted, which was their head on a plate. Whoever they were.“Your majesty, Bella, the witch, is
GRAYSONIgnoring Dad’s call was the worst idea I had ever thought of. I expected that hearing how well I was doing in school would change his mind and allow me to focus, but that was not the case. I was stopped on my way to the hospital to check on Chloe.“What do you want this time?” I questioned, tired of seeing them almost every day of my life.“Your dad wants you. He said it’s urgent,” one of them said, and I sneered.“I thought I mentioned earlier that I was bu-”“We were instructed to bring you whether you came willingly or not, so don’t think about fighting Grayson. You are surrounded, and as you can see, we have more people surrounding you,” he warned.He was right. People sent by Dad to find me lurked in the shadows, and I knew I’d already lost the fight before it began. Fighting and resisting would be futile and would only result in more punishment. I had no choice but to follow them and find out what he wanted.I got into the car which was parked outside my apartment buildi
CHLOEI was awakened by the sound of a machine beeping. As I looked around my surrounding, I knew I was lying on a bed but I felt something heavy on my hand as. My arm had gone numb. The only sensation I felt in my hand was electric waves that were caused by a lack of blood flow.I turned my head to see what it was and was surprised to see Trisha’s head as the culprit. I was surprised as to why she was sleeping here rather than in her room. Only then did it occur to me that I wasn’t in my room; there was nothing in my room that made a beeping sound like that.Looking around properly this time, I realized I was in a hospital. ‘How did I end up here?’ I last remembered waving goodbye to Amalia, Axel, and Diego. I tried to stand but was unable to do so due to a sharp pain in my stomach. ‘How the fvck did I get hurt and bandaged? What happened to me?’ I pondered. I tried to mind-link Ghost but was unsuccessful. Something seemed to be blocking the mind link, preventing me from reaching her
“What!!?”“We are inside of you. This is a place where we can both come to have a conversation. This is where I live inside of you.”“Damn you, Ghost!! I can’t believe I’ve been trying to survive in the human world, trying to stay sane from my constant nightmares and the troubles I’m facing, and you’ve been in here, living a luxury life!” I exclaimed. “You’re enjoying while I’m slowly dying from stress.”“Well, you see -”“I don’t see anything. Tell me why you decided to keep this place hidden from me. It could have come a long way to help my mental health a lot, but you damn greedy wolf wanted to keep it all to yourself!”“Don’t blame this one, human, blame yourself,” she said as she glared at me. “What the fuck do you mean by blame yourself? I’m not the one enjoying my sweat and living rent-free inside of me. You, my wolf, know yourself better than I do. How do you expect me to know such a place exists?” I asked as I sat on the white couch in front of Ghost.“Well, go on, I’m waiti
CHLOE“Am I dead?” I thought to myself as I awoke in a strange environment. This was exactly how much was used to describe where the Moon Goddess lived. Everything in the room was white, including the chairs, the vase, the tables, the walls, and everything else.This scared me. “Did I really die and go to the afterlife?” I kept asking myself this question as I began to panic.That wasn’t righ, it couldn’t be true. I hadn’t achieved what I wanted to, my vengeance. I hadn’t made my parents proud by scattering the vampire king’s ashes on their graves. This couldn’t be true, couldn’t be real.I had to be in a trance or something because I couldn’t be dead. Ghost promised to keep me safe and not let anything happen to me until we achieved our goal of vengeance. Speaking of Ghost, I quickly mind-linked her, but it didn’t work, and all I got was silence. This was strange. I knew she wasn’t the type to respond, but she always made a sound to let me know she was listening, but this time there
