Vee’s POVIf Adonis thought I would be leaving my sister to live with him, he had another thing coming.I had to find a way to ditch Jumbo, so I and Vera could run away. I also had to find a way to keep Vera’s face hidden from Jumbo. Who knows what Adonis would do if he finds out that I had an identical twin sister. The SUV pulled to a stop in front of club 9. “Be quick,” he growled curtly.Those were the first and only words he had said to me since I entered the car. He had thrown occasional distasteful stares my way, throughout the drive. Not that I cared, but I had almost asked him why they hated me so much, even without knowing me. Maybe their cult wasn’t very accommodating of outsiders. But none of that matters, I had no plans of becoming a member of their cult. We had made a quick stop earlier at the bank where I had cashed the check. So I grabbed the duffel bag, filled the cash and got out of the car.I hurried into the building. This time, the buff bouncer did not bother to
Adonis’s POVSelene’s being here was a complication.The last thing I needed was more complications. Already I had to deal with the big complication that was Vee and the fact that I had just made a big speech about how every half breed was an enemy and would be killed with no exceptions, then I went ahead to propose marriage to a half breed.Now I also had to deal with the Vico problem before this all spirals out of control any more than it already has. If this Vico problem is not nipped now, people would begin to see me as weak and that would lead to even more attacks. With all this happening all at once I can’t also deal with Selene hovering over me.What was she doing here?Selene was not supposed to be here till next week. It would have given me more time to prepare. “Is that anyway to greet your fiancée?” she asked, feigning annoyance.“I was just surprised to see you, that's all,” I said and started picking out clothes to wear. Selene’s slender arms snaked around my wais
VEE’S POV Tardiness was one of my best qualities. I am late to practically everything, my sister would always tease me by saying I would be late even to my own wedding. I don’t doubt that. If I came to work on time I would have finished cleaning this room and would not have to endure the dirty, lustful look this old man was giving me. “I would give you hundred bucks if you give me a blow job, two hundred if you make me cum,” his face crinkled as a grin appeared on his shriveled face. A bout of nausea crawled up my throat as the old man licked his lips, exposing his toothless mouth. I swallowed and flashed a polite smile. “No thank you,” I replied as I made my way to the bathroom to clean it up as quickly as possible and get out of here. The down side to being a cleaner in a hotel, was that every dick and harry would hit on me and I could not do anything to shut them down. The hotel management would take their customers side, after all the customer is always right. If I cou
VEE’S POVJust when I thought things could not get worse, it just did. I always thought my father’s gambling would get him into trouble, but I was wrong. His gambling did not get him into trouble, it got I and my sister into trouble. Where the fuck am I supposed to get fifty thousand from? I have never even seen that much money in my entire life. "Fifty grand?” Vera screeched, her eyeballs threatening to pop out of the socket. “Where are we supposed to get that kind of money from?” Valkor strolled casually to where Vera stood, and traced his gun on her cheeks. “Don’t worry about the money, I have a line up of men that will pay good money to get a piece of your sweet ass,” he licked his lower lip, a simple gesture that filled me with disgust. Without thinking, I pulled Vera behind me. “We will pay you your money,” I blurted, surprising even myself. Where did the courage even come from? I didn’t even have a job! Valkor chuckled dryly. “Okay. Okay.” “We just need a little time to
VEE’S POVBy the time I got home, I was drenched in my own sweat and my hair looked disheveled and out of control. But that was the least of my problems. I pushed the door open. Relief washed over me as soon as my eyes fell on my sister. Thank God she was still here.But so were the goons. And my place looked like it had been hit by a tornado storm. I raced to where Vera sat of the floor with her eyes red from crying. “Where’s my money?” Valkor asked harshly. I handed him a brown envelope, which he snatched from my hand almost as soon as I took out the envelope from my purse. He counted the money with swift fingers. Then as expected he frowned. “I said twenty-five G’s. What is this?” I tried to put on a brave face. I could not let him see how terrified I was. “That was how much I could raise under such short notice,” I replied. He chuckled, but it did not reach his eyes. I stood protectively in front of my sister, just in case. “If you could give me a little more…” The sound of
ADONIS POVA half human robbed me!I still could not wrap my head around the events of last night. But I had woken up this morning and found my protection pearl gone. I knew it was a bad idea to go to a party with Fang to ‘wind down’ , but Fang had insisted and I gave in eventually.Somehow I got drunk and ended up taking a half human to bed with me. A mistake I would never had made in my right mind. And she ended up robbing me of my most precious possession. I still reeked of her scent, no matter how much I had scrubbed my skin this morning, and it disgusted me. Humans always disgusted me. I always knew humans were real monsters, but I expected half human to be at a little decent compared to pure humans. But I was wrong. Being half wolf made no difference. Their human gene is a disease And corrupted the wolf in them. Most half breeds live their entire lives without ever knowing what they truly were.I will make sure this human pest pays dearly for daring to steal from
Adonis POVNo! No! Nate growled in my head, fighting to be set free to run to his mate.Her scent was overwhelming now. The disgusting scent of half breeds, it made my blood boil with rage. The smell of her blood ravaged my nostrils, she has been hurt. Dead even.I started running towards the execution ground. Nate fought me even more fiercely, demanding to be set free. Five years ago, I could never have suppressed Nate this easily, he was a powerful beast. But after the witch cursed us and left us for dead, Nate lost most of his powers. But it won’t be long now, I will get back everything that has been taken from us. Nate growled again. He could tell that I did not care about saving her. I just needed her to be alive long enough to save me and after that I would personally rip her head off her body. Besides, if the half human was dead, it was best to keep Nate at bay, else he would not rest until he has shredded everyone at the execution ground to pieces. At the execution ground,
Adonis POVShe could not have gone very far.She is injured and I could still smell her. “I will be back later,” I threw over my shoulder but Helga grabbed my arm. Her grey eyes staring intently at me. “Maybe it would be best if you let her go. She is more trouble than she’s worth,” she said in her ominous voice. I had vowed to myself to always listen to Helga’s advice after I had gone after Zaphri the witch against Helga’s warnings. I almost paid with my life. I can still smell the smoke from that cursed night, the blood gushing from chest, the whining sound in my head and Zaphri’s glowing purple eyes….I would have let the half breed go, I didn’t even want her. But I needed her to live. I had just one year, not even my pearl would stop me from dying. The half breed was my only chance of survival and I had to take it. I had nothing else to lose.“I will bring back the half breed and you will make a cure for me,” I said with finality in my tone. She sighed in defeat. “Alright.”S

Adonis’s POVHer deep blue eyes stared at me with such anger and confusion.I had spent most of last night thinking of a way to bring her back and to make her willing consent to becoming my mate, only for her to walk through doors and present me with an opportunity to get exactly what I want. She was desperate and that worked to my advantage. She just has to agree to this final condition and the first phase of my plan would be complete.She will accept my every demand, if truly she was trying to save her sister, then she will accept. “What is it going to be Vee?”As much as Nate loathed how riled up I was making her, he could not complain. He wanted her to stay. Forever.He could see she was a flight risk. And knowing humans, she would probably take my money, free her sister and then disappear, that is assuming the whole sister story was true.But I will not let her disappear. “Fine.”When she reached for the check this time, I did not stop her. “One of my men would take you home a
Vee’s POVI never expected to stare back at these green pairs of eyes again. I never even imagined myself being back here, not after everything I had been through and the obvious fact that everyone in his cult was either trying to kill me or hoping for a chance to kill me.Adonis’s usually hard expression was somewhere between shock, relief and more shock.“So this is the half breed,” a beautiful dark man, that I had never seen before, examined me with a hint of amusement in his piercing brown eyes.I narrowed my eyes on him. “What is that supposed to mean?”“That your kind is not welcomed here,” he turned to Adonis, placing a hand on his shoulder, “I hope you know what you are doing.” Then he walked away.“I guess they ran out of rope to hang yourself with,” Fang spat, following behind the black man. I rolled my eyes eternally. When I returned my gaze to Adonis, his eyes were cold and devoid of all emotions. “Adonis I….”He began walking away, pausing briefly to say, “follow me.”
Adonis’s POVSwish!The sound of a blade as it sliced the air, reverberated. I dodged but not quick enough as the tip of the blade nicked my ear. The morning air was crisp, carrying the scent of damp earth and sweat as I rolled my shoulders, loosening the tension in my muscles. Fang stood across from me, sword in hand, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. Fang was one of the few men that could withstand sword training with me - a fact that he threw in my face every chance he got. That was why he was my favourite training partner.He didn't wait. He lunged at me again, his blade cutting through us like lightning. I sidestepped bringing my sword up just in time to block the strike. The sheer force of it vibrated up my arm.Fang was strong. I would give him that.But I was stronger and faster.I twisted my wrist, slipping his blade to the side and countering with a swift slash toward his ribs. Fang reacted instantly, parrying and forcing me to step back.He grinned. “Slower than
Vee’s POVFang held the door of the SUV open, I paused and glanced back at the mansion, I could see Adonis standing by the window with his hands tucked into his pocket. For whatever reason I felt a deep sense of loss, like something deep within me did not want to leave him.I frowned. I had no reason to feel that way for a man like him. I wanted to leave and never come back here, even if my sister’s life wasn’t in danger. I would still want to leave. I would never want to be part of a cult, much less one like this where the people are brainwashed into thinking they weren’t human. I don't know why he chose to let me go, but I would take it. At least this time, I was given human treatment and not tossed into the back of a windowless van like a criminal. I climbed into the car, filling my lungs with the scent of leather and air freshener and Fang slammed the door shut, then went around and got into the driver’s seat. Seconds later the car hummed alive. My sister needed me and the earl
Vee’s POVThe dungeon reeked of mold and century old piss. My cell was between a raunchy, old man that groaned all night long last night and a one eyed, hunky woman, who picked her teeth incessantly and called me pumpkin.It was just one night but it felt like I’ve been here for weeks. And all for what? Because my father decided to leave his daughters with a fifty grand worth of debt and Vera chose to steal from Adonis, who was probably a cult leader, to pay our debt.“Hey pumpkin, you don't want to give yourself leg cramps,” the one eyed woman, with curly brown hair that sat on her head like a dirty mop, said in an amused tone. Almost as soon as she spoke, I felt my leg muscles twitching. I lowered myself to the floor and stretched my legs out. “I’m surprised the king hasn't killed you yet,” she chuckled.I arched an eyebrow at her. “What king?”The woman looked at me as though I had developed two heads. “King Adonis. Isn’t he the one that put you here?” she asked.I knew Adonis
Adonis’s POVIf Vee had any connection with Vico or any information on Vico’s whereabouts, I will pry the information out of her. But that will wait until after breakfast. If I missed breakfast with my gang, it was sure to heighten their suspicion.I took a big bite of my stake and I could not help but notice the eyes boring holes into my face. I know what they wanted to know, but right now I could not tell them anything, not until my cure is ready and Vee tells me where Vico was hiding. Although she was really good at lying. Even after been caught with my pearl in her house she still denies having taking it. I will have to find a way to get the information out of her. As long as none of them are bold enough to ask me about the half breed, then there is no need to bring it up myself.“Sir?” Ezra’s unsure voice called.I glanced up from my plate and he immediately bowed his head. His frizzled red hair, fell over his face, protecting his chubby face from my glare.“I.... We were won
Adonis’s POVHer cry reverberated through the room. Certainly, my people would have heard her screaming.The rumors had already started about the half breed in my house and for now they still believe she is a prisoner, it won’t be long before the start questioning why she hasn’t been executed yet. Or why Nate had saved her from execution.So far, the only people that are aware of my curse were Fang, Helga and I and I planned to keep it that way until I’ve gotten a cure or I die and would not have to explain why I got cursed. I will take that secret to my grave. The earlier I get the half breed’s blood to Helga, the earlier a cure can be made for me and I can finally get rid of her. I will kill you, Nate growled as he fought to take over my body.I shut my eyes as I struggled to remain in charge, the rapid beating of Vee’s petrified heart riled Nate up, making it even more difficult to keep him in.Quickly, I retrieved a small vial from the back of my pocket and placed her bleeding w
