The air around Cinnia was permeated with the scent of death. It threatened to choke her out. Then, it was as gone as abruptly as it came. Cinnia squinted into the darkness surrounding her on each side as she took tremulous steps forward.

Specters whispered incomprehensible words at her while they glided about her, blending with the darkness so she couldn't see them but she could perceive them. It brought shivers across her entire body.

She wanted to call out for Denzel but her voice failed to erupt from her lips. She kept walking further into the darkness, hoping to find some glimmer of light that would signal an escape.

It seemed like she had walked for hours with no end in sight. No hope. No way out of the suffocating darkness that shrouded her. Just as she was about to give up and crumble to the ground beneath her, something flashed before her eyes.

Bright red. Dripping.

Cinnia took several steps back, preparing to run from whatever the thing was that made her heart pound

    "Hello?" Cinnia said into her phone. Normally, she wasn't one to pick up calls from anonymous numbers but inexplicably, she found herself doing so. As if the call was a magnet, drawing her to tap the answer button without a thought. There was heavy breathing on the other end. One that almost seemed too familiar. The exact breathing pattern of the corrupt man from her vision, dream, or whatever it was. Cinnia bit her lip and paused the preparation of the omelet she was making around six a.m. that morning. She scratched the inside of her palm as she awaited a response. Yet, there was nothing. So, Cinnia braced herself to speak once more. "He-hello?" She choked out. She shut her eyes, hating the way her voice cracked. That was a weakness she didn't want the caller to notice. "Good morning. I hope your meal turns out great," The caller said. Cinnia's eyes darted from side to side in fear. She gulped, turned off the stove, and began slowly backing to the stairs. Denzel was upstair

    Cinnia drummed a beat on the oak table in front of her as she sat in the library of the packhouse waiting for Denzel to return with the books he had spoken of earlier. She was lost in thoughts that were scattered in different directions but all related to a particular name. Sebastian. Sebastian. Sebastian. His name rang out in her head repeatedly and she caught herself drumming even more harshly on the table till her fingertips started to hurt. She flattened them and crossed one leg over the other. Cinnia was an avid reader. At least, when she wasn't moving from place to place like a nomad during her years on the run, she derived peace in many hobbies including burying her nose in the pages of both fiction and non-fiction though she much preferred the beauty of fiction. However, she had never come across the word 'Vampire' even in the many paranormal romance novels she had read. In the few horror books she had come across, they only spoke of monsters, creatures that go bump in the n

    "Are we ever going to go to New Orleans without being on a mission? When I put it on my bucket list, I didn't mean for it to be this way," Cinnia complained on their flight. She was still a bit sleepy since Denzel had made her wake up right before dawn to head to the airport. They were traveling alone even though Mya and Kai had wanted to tag along for extra protection but Denzel had instructed them not to because they were merely going for research purposes, not a war or a mission that required stealth or an army. So, Maverick, along with Mya and Kai, was to manage the pack affairs and businesses till they returned. A piece of information that Denzel still hadn't confirmed yet. "I didn't mean for it to be like this either." Denzel reached over and caressed her knee. "Trust me, there's nothing I want more than to fulfill your every wish but circumstances have made things this way." Cinnia let out a deep sigh. "I'm sorry. I've been so irritated with this whole thing. I'm exhausted

    "Wake up, Princess." Cinnia ignored the sweet voice that beckoned at her to leave the warm embrace of sleep. She rolled from her back to her side and carried on sleeping. Abruptly, the warmth she was cocooned in was torn from her body. She whimpered at the loss and her eyes finally flew open to meet Denzel's brilliant green ones. "Denzel, I love you, but please, you cannot wake me up so early in the morning. I'm sleeping for two remember?" Cinnia pouted. "It's already noon. From your wonderful speech last night, I should be the one still asleep not you. Especially since you slumbered through most of yesterday." Denzel shook his head at her disapprovingly but a smile still played on his lips. Cinnia's lips formed an 'O'. He was right. She had given him a whole lecture and still woke up later than him despite having more rest. She vaguely remembered reading a book on her phone till around three in the morning but didn't recall falling asleep because she had promised herself tha

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Sebastian: The great evil

    Sebastian paced around Cinnia's unconscious body. His face was a stone-cold impassive mask that gave nothing away to the glee and expectations that danced through his mind in a mad rhythm. To him, Cinnia was a beauty. A rare picture of perfection but that wasn't what concerned him. What had his attention was the blood rushing within her veins. The blood contained not one but two contrasting elements. The world’s first hybrid. The flames from the fireplace reflected in his glowing red eyes, igniting the danger that lurked beneath them. His hungry gaze ran across Cinnia's face, to her chest, and finally, her protruding belly. His sclera slightly darkened as he inhaled the scent of Cinnia's perfume and the baby powder she had dabbed on earlier; he bared his fangs and placed his cold hands against Cinnia's tee. Unsatisfied, he lifted the tee and rolled it under her breasts. Sebastian's breath hitched once his hands came in contact with Cinnia's skin. He listened and soon, the wonde

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Taking New Orleans by storm

    "Maverick Montgomery! Tell these brutes you call guards to let me in!" Sophie yelled from the gates of the Nightfall pack house. She rattled the heavy iron bars with all of her strength but they didn't budge. "Agh!" She cried out in frustration, slamming both palms against the smooth iron while the two guards watched her with zero expression. She narrowed her eyes at them. "You both are enjoying this, right?" When they didn't respond, she rolled her eyes and resumed her banging. "Hey! Maverick! I know your hearing is perfect! Come out. It's important, please." She tried once again. Minutes later when Maverick failed to show up, she turned around and was about to leave to think of a different way to alert the wolves about her vision, when Maverick called out her name. "Sophie." She stopped in her tracks. The energy she once had in rattling the gates evaporated from her body simply by the sound of his voice. She felt her knees go weak as she remembered the last night they spent t

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   The measure of power

    Cinnia hummed a tune from one of her favorite songs as she knocked her head against the chair she was tethered to. With her magic cut off and her inability to free herself from the heavy chains, there wasn't anything else that she could do to escape from captivity. While she murmured the lyrics of the song, she recalled the prophecies from the fae and Sophie. 'Many would lust after her blood', they said. That was her ongoing predicament and Cinnia felt her chest constrict with hate for prophecy. Cinnia tapped the sole of her shoe against the concrete floor, to the rhythm of the music in her head. Just then, her stomach rumbled loudly causing her to let out a resentful chuckle. A tear slipped from her eyes and rolled down her cheek while she continued banging her head against the chair. Abruptly, the door was opened and Cinnia turned her head slightly to the side to see who had decided to finally grace her with their presence. The second her brown eyes clashed with the striking red

    "What is it?" Mya who was seated opposite him, laid her warm palm on the crook of his elbow. "You've only been asleep for ten minutes. Did you have a dream already?" "Ten minutes? Felt much shorter than that. Anyway, no... It wasn't a dream. More like..." "You could hear the sound of her voice like she was right beside you?" Mya completed. Denzel released a breath that did nothing to ease the burden that weighed heavily on his shoulders. "Yes." "I understand, Alpha. It was the same way when Brandon was kidnapped. Hell, I heard his voice everywhere. It didn't even matter if I was asleep or awake. He was always there." Mya squeezed Denzel's elbow gently. "I got him back with your help. Now, with my help, with everyone's help, we're going to get our Luna back. The entire werewolf clan will have their queen back in one piece. Now, sleep. You look like shit. Unless you want Cinnia to be repulsed when she sees you," She teased. Denzel's lips perked up into a small smile at her jab.

    Six months later... It is during the time of peace that one should fear the occurrence of war. However, the prospect of war was a distant threat. One that Cinnia didn't even want to think or worry about. Sebastian was gone; so were Elijah and all the other vampires and hybrids he had created. Therefore, Cinnia only sought to enjoy the relative peace that had settled over West Volken for the last six months. There had been a lot to do after finally defeating Sebastian. The wounded had to be attended to—fortunately, they healed quite quickly, some faster than others—and a lot of collaboration among all the factions had to be established to ensure that adequate excuses and compensations were given to the families of the humans that had been turned by Sebastian and the matter hidden from the press. In the two months after New Orleans, although everyone constantly reassured Cinnia that none of the deaths was her fault and nothing was held against her, she still couldn't help but occasio

    Embers, ash, and pillars. That was all that was left of the ancient edifice that had once stood in the position Cinnia, Denzel, and Mya were standing on. "One step ahead of us... Fucking son of a—Agh!" Cinnia balled her fists and kicked a pebble in front of her, sending it flying. She ran her fingers through her hair and sank to sit on her heels. A muscle in Denzel's jaw ticked. He wanted to break something, to kill someone but he had to keep his anger in check. There had to be another way. "When could he have done this?" Denzel murmured to himself as he stepped further into the rubble, not minding the smoldering ash that licked at his shoes. Mya moved ahead of him, kicking away crushed stones and waving her hand in front of her to block away the dust that threatened to suffocate her. Some minutes later, they returned to where Cinnia still sat, her fists shaking in her lap. The look on their faces said it all. The tree was gone. Cut down and burnt to a crisp. Only a single root r

    "I feel I should be surprised but weirdly, I'm not," Cinnia whispered to Maverick whilst keeping her eyes on Denzel who stood ramrod straight as he stared down at the bloody heart in his palm. "Me neither," Maverick replied with the corners of his lips raised in satisfaction. His brother always had a way of showing up at the right moment. "Can you please find me some water around here? My throat is dying," Cinnia requested to Maverick. "Sure." The moment he left, Cinnia took slow steps to Denzel. The clangs of weapons, grunts and growls of the supernaturals, and the whimpers of the wounded echoed through her ears which created a nagging feeling in her chest. Something was wrong. Sebastian was dead, wasn't he? Then why was the battle still ongoing? His creatures should have dropped dead...even the one she had granted the illusion of choice. Yet, when Denzel's eyes met hers finally, all previous thoughts melted away and she picked up the pace and ran to him. A huge smile lit up Den

    Cinnia's heart pounded in her chest as she waited and hoped that Sebastian was truly messing with her and Maverick wasn't dead. She didn't think she would ever be able to forgive herself if he died because of her rashness. She gasped when Maverick landed face-first on the ground right in front of her. A relieved smile grew on her face but promptly bled out when she noticed that he wasn't moving. "Why isn't he getting up? What did you do to him, you bastard?!" Cinnia yelled, struggling against the bonds that held her back. She felt the skin on her neck break and begin to bleed but she paid no mind to it. She screamed her voice hoarse, yanking at the chains but it was futile and all to Sebastian's glee. "What did you do?... What did you do to him?..." Cinnia sagged against the chains that held her down; her voice reduced to a pitiful croak. Sebastian sat on his heels and bent his head to the side. A wide smile that immensely irritated Cinnia was stretched out across his face. "It's

    "Beg your pardon?" Cinnia quirked up an eyebrow, uncertain about whether she heard properly. "Kneel before your King," Sebastian repeated, dragging out each syllable like she and Maverick were dim-witted five-year-olds. Cinnia and Maverick exchanged a glance. Then, Maverick scoffed while shaking his head and clutching the fresh wound caused by the grazing of the silver bullet, on his arm. "I only have one king and I don't even kneel before him..." Cinnia bit back. A second later, she added as an afterthought, "Often... And I certainly won't do it if he demands it in that tone you're using." As she spoke, she kept her right hand behind her with a portion of her mind focused on chanting a spell and channeling power to her fingertips. Sebastian barked out a laugh. "I do love your sense of humor. It's refreshing. Very rarely do average people make jest in dangerous situations." "Thank you for recognizing my immense potential." At the last word, she fired two bolts of crackling ligh

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   To be feared

    For the first time in a long while, Denzel had a dream. One that he remembered the moment his eyes fluttered open to the dimness of his room. A smile grew on his face as he recalled the events. He was happy. There were no foes. Just him and his princess. Yawning, he stretched out his muscles and then turned to pull Cinnia closer to him. But the sheets beside him were as cold as ice. He shot up from the bed, his heart racing in alarm. A glance at the bedside clock let him know that it was almost four-thirty, half an hour before the pack would assemble by five a.m. He got up and threw open the curtains. As someone who never slept for long, he should have been awake thirty minutes before. "Princess?" He called out to the eerily empty room, hoping that she was in the bathroom and just being extremely quiet or holding her breath or something. Yet, from his incredible hearing, the sinking realization occurred to him and his eyes widened. In a flash, he washed his face, threw on some c

    Cinnia watched from her window as Denzel drove off with Maverick, Mya, Kai, and five of his best gammas. As Luna, without even being told, everyone was looking up to her to run things in the absence of their Alpha and Beta. However, she didn't feel like doing anything pack-related. Earlier that morning, she practiced various spells from a grimoire she had taken from her mother's house before the Darah Haven witches decided to try and drain her of her magic. Yet, she still experienced some difficulty in performing some of the more complicated magical spells and it made her throw the entire book aside from frustration. Cinnia leaned her head against the window frame and heaved out a melancholic sigh. Just as she was about to lock her door and try the spells again, someone knocked on her door. Her shoulders dropped as she bowed her head and let out another sigh. "Come in," She called out after a beat. Conall stepped in and shut the door behind him. "Do you people not have off

    "Fuck the drive. What is it?" Denzel whirled around to face Maverick, his eyes alight and expectant. "It's not good, brother." Maverick shook his head solemnly. Mya scoffed and folded her arms across her chest. "When last has anything been good around here?" Denzel shot her a look that made her zip up her mouth. "Well? Speak up, brother," Denzel pressed as his index finger drummed an anxious beat on his thigh. "Sebastian has made more vampires out of innocent humans. The council just sent a memo about a meeting tomorrow because of all the disappearances the human faction have had to cover up as freak accidents or kidnaps," Maverick informed. Denzel raised an eyebrow at him. "You aren't telling me everything." "Can this get any worse?" Mya mumbled while tracing a pattern on the ground with her foot. "It can. It has," Maverick answered her. "I don't understand how Sebastian has done it but the smaller packs have been recruited into working for him. He's making an army of vamp

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   The aftermath

    Cinnia wordlessly threw dirt onto the little coffin in the freshly dug hole in the ground. Three days had passed since Sebastian's victory and barely a word had left her mouth. To someone who wasn't privy to her situation, they would think she went about her days like a normal person but those who knew her intimately—especially Denzel—were aware that she wasn't the same. The Cinnia he had met that starry night in Bromsken was gone and replaced by a hollow shell of the woman she used to be. Maverick was like Cinnia. The only difference was that he buried himself in business, pack duties, and hunting for Sebastian. Sophie's death had changed something inside of him. Though he never properly acknowledged the relationship they had, it didn't make him feel any better. In those three days, he was filled with unwavering regret that he couldn't have been with her the way he wanted. He finally understood just how Denzel felt about Cinnia even though she was part witch. Worst of all, he cou
