They said nothing about the interview, and it scared me to ask them about it. I was still sore from last night and didn't want them to order me to spread my legs once more if I wanted to see them at my office. I left their house early to get ready for work. They said nothing about the interview and I didn't remind them of it, opting to leave them to whatever they decide on. They didn't offer to drive me home like I thought they would, which further solidified my claims about them not showing up at my workplace. I got dressed for the office earlier since I returned by 6. I didn't bother with a heel, knowing I might not take over 10 steps in it before my legs gave way. Had I not been eager for work, I wouldn't have gone out today. I would have spent the rest of the day soaking in my tub and begging the ache to ease. Making my hair took me close to thirty minutes because of the twin braids I had made at the front. I was tired of tying my hair up in plain ponytails and buns. Which was
I didn't believe Chris until the director called us to the office. The way the workers looked at me like I was an angel that descended from the sky as I strode to the director's office, was quite unnerving. I was feeling super nervous as I walked over to the director's office. Chris wasn't with me. I was the only one the director asked for, so she couldn't go with me even if she wanted to. My hands shook as I reached forward to knock on the door. My throat felt dry when the director asked me to step in. My heart hammered against my ribcage as I stepped in, only to freeze when I saw my lovers, sitting on the chairs I once sat with Chris, their entire focus on me. The hotness of their gazes on my body made it impossible for me to move. I remained rooted to the ground, checking them out. It was the first time I'd seen them in suits. They looked different. With their hair slicked back with gel, they looked like actors on their way to a gala. Had the director not asked me to step forw
Two months, and I think I have gotten infected by them. It was the end of our contract, and I knew we had to part ways. Even though I didn't want to leave, wishing they would ask me to stay with them, I was aware I couldn't keep up with the toxic relationship anymore. I couldn't even tell what was right anymore. My body had gotten so used to them that I doubted I would ever be normal. “What's wrong?” Blue lifted an eyebrow as he watched me. I had just stepped into their sitting room, staring at them as if trying to commit their images to my head. After their interview, I got the position I had always coveted. The director didn't even think twice about that. Not only did I get the title of the best journalist, but they promoted me, much to the dismay of Imelda and her supporters. It was like a dream come true, and I had been working hard to keep it. Though none of the assignments I got was like those of the Christophos brothers, I was able to scale through them. “Bunny?” Fred call
I gulped, looking towards Fred, who didn't even have a friendly smile on his face as he watched me. "I... I didn't mean it like that." Gulping, I drew two steps back. This was the first time I had seen such a murderous expression on Blue's face. I knew the right thing to do was run, and ask questions later. No one knew where I was, and would —"Do you think they badly of us?" He demanded, his voice rougher, not like the calming tone he always used with me. He sounded more like Fred but with a touch of darkness. "Do you take us to be monsters? Is that why you want to leave? I see. You can't wait to leave us. I bet you have been counting the days until you leave."I shook my head. "That's not true! You were the ones who wrote the contract, and not me. It's stated that I only had to stay with you for two months. Since it's the end, I thought you would let go." I drew more steps as he approached me. "We know you never cared for us. To you, we are nothing but beasts who took your virgini
He smiled. “I love it when you beg. It makes me want to fuck you harder and rougher.” With one hand holding my hands above my head and his legs keeping my thighs together, he wrapped his right palm around my neck and squeezed it. “I will show you what it means when people talk of hell on Earth. You will beg me to stop, but I won't, not until I make you realize you can never leave us. At least not alive.”He pressed my neck, his hold too tight. I almost saw the angels singing as they welcomed me to paradise. Or could it be demons? Having slept with two men, I bet they would take me to hell where I would be tormented by the man downstairs. “Stop!” I cried, struggling to get him to let him. I had to force that one word out, trying to move my legs so he would let go, but he didn't. “This is just the beginning, Bella. Isn't this what you have always wanted when you asked us to use our toys on you? You love the pain, don't you? We will give you all. Tie you to the bed and fuck you wheneve
I was nervous, and so were the others. It was the first time any of us would see them. Not even the director and the top workers in the company could boast of meeting the owners. They haven't even spoken with them. All ths interactions between them were done through emails. They were like ghosts, almost like the Christophos brothers whose family had stayed long in the city, but no one knew anything about them. I checked my reflection in the mirror for the tenth time. I was so nervous that I went to the restroom every few minutes to check on my clothes. It was such a pity they didn't install any mirror for me when they constructed my office. It would have made it easier for me. I wouldn't have gone to the restroom just for this. I had my hair up in a neat bun, not a strand out of place. It took me close to an hour to perfect the look. As the best journalist, I had to be in the nicest, if not splendid state. I didn't bother with makeup since I wasn't a fan of that. I just dabbed my fa
“You —” She opened her mouth to rain insults like I knew she would, but the door opened, causing her to freeze on the spot. We all stood up straighter, each keeping to their position on the line. Over 50 workers stood in two lines, facing each other, to receive the owners of the firm, whom none of us had ever met. “Welcome!” We all greeted them at once, bowing as they strode into the receiving room. Since it was the only part of the office that could contain us, the director chose it. As one, we all raised our heads as I stepped away from the others to meet them, only to freeze when I saw who it was. Staring at me were none other than my lovers. Though they looked different dressed in silver suits, there was no way I could mistake them. Fucking hell. My heart thumped against my chest as I watched them. I had to blink, to be certain I wasn't making things up. Rubbing my eyes didn't seem to help matters.I gave them an appraisal, noting how fucking handsome they were. I couldn't t
BLUEThis wasn't how it was supposed to go. Fred and I planned to ask her to stay with us after the expiration of the contract. I had gotten everything I would say to her ready, but when she spoke those words, I lost it. It seemed like the demon I had been trying to suppress for weeks finally got out of the cage. I couldn't even control the way I felt at that moment. I was blinded with rage and could only go with the pull of my body, not knowing what else to do. Had it not been for Fred, I might have done something disastrous. Something I would have regretted. I was lucky he was with me, standing behind me while I tried to make a freaking fool of myself. After I stormed up the stairs to the room, he followed behind, slamming the door shut when he stepped in, his eyes blazing with anger. “What the freaking hell is wrong with you?!” He growled at me, his eyes narrowed to slits. “You bloody know what that is. Quit fucking acting like you didn't feel it!” I tugged hard on my hair, alm
EPILOGUE It was a rocky year for all of us, but we persevered. It took months to convince the people of the kingdom to accept hybrids. A fight broke out about it, but luckily, everything was sorted out before things could escalate any further. Though there were people who were still against the hybrids, they weren't enough to stop my mates from passing a new law. The hybrids didn't need to hide anymore. With the law, they were free to live among the others or stay back in their town. They chose the latter. Having made a life in the small town, they were reluctant to leave. Though they occasionally went to the kingdoms to purchase things, they still returned to their home. To them, it was more than home. The sanctuary my mates created for them was the first place they ever felt safe in.With the kingdom in peace, we had our wedding in the throne room, not the old one, of course. Because of the number of deaths in the palace and the bad memories my mates had of the place, they pulled
It shocked my mates when they returned to the palace, to learn what happened. They were sad they missed out on the fight and on an opportunity to show me how badass they were. It was funny, though. I had seen them fight and knew what they were capable of, yet they wanted to show me they were good. It wasn't until I spoke with Devon that I realized what was going on with them.With how powerful I had become, my mates were trying to let me know they could also protect me, even though I was more powerful than they were. I thought it was cute. They didn't feel intimidated by my powers. They only wanted me to know I could rely on them most times, that I didn't have to act all badass with them. After the fight, everything returned to normal. Well, as normal as our family could get. Chrys was still reluctant to start her studies fully and the darling always kept Chris on her toes. The babies weren't helping at all. The bigger they got, the more it became impossible for us to hold them down.
“Fancy meeting you again, Bella,” he said with a smile, with his arms folded. “How have you been? I trust you loved my gift?” “Give my kids back!” I snarled at him but didn't walk towards him, cautious to use my powers as he placed my kids in a large stroller in front of him, all of them sleeping. Seeing Chrys sleeping made me realize the sound I thought I heard didn't come from her. It was either that or he put her to sleep and used her to get to me. “Your kids?” He looked down at my sleeping children. “It's a pity they are so cute. Killing them would be so heart-wrenching.” He smirked. “What do you want with them? You have a vendetta against me not —” “No. I don't have any problem with you," he started before his gaze went to my bloody hands, and his face twisted with rage. “I didn't have a business with you, but now I have.” He narrowed his eyes at the body on the floor. “Imelda was the perfect henchman. Now that you have killed her, I have no option but to avenge her. Howev
I dragged the only living attacker as he led us to their hideout. When I realized my kids were truly missing, I lost it. Luckily, Chris kept one man alive, so Devon could control him, which was how we learned of their hideout. Whoever the fuck they were, didn't know what was coming for them. Devon and Chris flanked me as we stepped into the compound. I wasn't scared. That was an emotion I wasn't concerned about. All I could feel was the deep rage that started from my head and continued down until it reached my toes. I wanted nothing but to rip them to shreds for laying their filthy hands on my babies. The minute the men patrolling the perimeters saw us, they startled, approaching. Seeing we were just three, they must have thought they could defeat us, not knowing how badass we were. Devon and Chris went to work while I continued to drag the man towards the door. Reaching there, I threw him on it, causing the doors to fall from the weight. With the man out of the way, I stormed int
Just like Devon said, I fell asleep a few seconds after he left. Unlike his words, when he made it sound like I could fight that sleep if I wanted, I couldn't do that. The pull was so strong I didn't even know I slept until I got up later. I still didn't know the time, so there was no way to know how long I slept. I got down from the bed. Surprisingly, the pain I felt when I woke up before I took the pills had disappeared. I felt like a new person like I could take anyone up. I walked over to the window and drew the curtains, wincing as the bright light fluttered into the room. I hastily closed the curtains, rubbing my eyes. If I'd known it was this bright outside, I wouldn't have attempted to open the window. I would have stayed in my room with the dim lights. Hissing at the sun as if it were the reason I opened the curtains, I walked into the bathroom to have my bath. My body felt like it hadn't felt the touch of water on it for days now, and I didn't like that feeling. After m
BELLAI was in total darkness, roaming through it, looking for the light, for a chance to break through, to find my way out, but I couldn't. I felt my body moving, but my eyes were shut. The only thing I knew was the intense rage I felt at the world for keeping me bottled up. For years, I had wished to be let out from the confines to show the world who I was, but I was kept down, tied, and unable to move and use my powers. At that moment, with the darkness swirling around me and enveloping me, making me one with it, I wanted to let go, to merge myself with the rage, to become one with it and to let the feeling wrap around me. However, the thoughts of my babies' smiles as I held them, the whispers of my mates' voices as they told me how much they loved me, the smirk that was always on Chris's face when she had something up her sleeves and the embarrassed smile Devon always sent my way, forced me to snap my eyes open… For a moment, my thoughts were disoriented. I didn't know where I
The moment our Bunny heard our call, she turned her focus on us, causing us to freeze as we stared into her eyes that were as black as the night, like a bottomless void. She threw Devon away like he was a doll and turned to face us, with her lips pulled up in a snarl. "Bunny?” We took cautious steps towards her, ignoring Devon, who was rubbing his neck, and coughing. “What's wrong with you?” I asked, lifting my right hand towards her, only to be startled when she attacked me. I tried to defend myself, but she was too fast. She delivered a series of swift punches and kicks, each one landing with a precision that stunned me. Bella had never been this violent. Not only that, but she had never learned to fight.Letting out a gasp, I stumbled backwards, trying to create some distance between us, but she was relentless. Our Bunny was like a new person. With her claws extended and her fangs down. Though she wasn't in a partial shift, it felt as if she was. Blue attempted to intervene, b
FREDWho would have guessed there would be hundreds of hybrids in a world where unions like that were frowned upon? And to think their parents abandoned them after giving birth to the kids. I didn't appreciate that. It stirred anger within me as I thought of the heartless parents who were probably still alive, having the time of their lives while knowing they abandoned their hybrid children after birthing them. It made me wonder why someone would do something like this. Why want to have a child when you couldn't even take care of them? It made little sense to me. Children aren't meant to be discarded after bringing them into the world! As they were on their own when you got intimate with your lover, the least you could do was take care of them. Or better still, give them to those you know would take good care of them. It wasn't fair at all to abandon a child just because you could. After the meeting we had with the hybrids, who assumed this was a trap, for us to get them together b
“Good. Now, focus on your breath and let your mind clear. Imagine a white light filling your body, starting from the crown of your head and flowing down to your toes.” I did as he instructed, feeling my mind calm and my body relax. The white light began to fill me, and I could feel its glow spreading through my veins. It felt like another presence was within me, going around my body as it sought ways to escape. I kept my eyes tightly closed, and my hands clenched at the sides as I tried to keep my focus on the light and the warmth spreading within, as that was what Devon instructed me to do. “Next, I want you to visualize an exit within yourself,” he continued. “This door is locked, but it's the key to unlocking your powers. Imagine yourself standing in front of this door, and focus on the sensation of the lock clicking open.” His voice was calm. Not that loud. It filled my entire body with warmth, one that propelled me forward, urging me to do everything he instructed me to. I
