I groaned at the constant itch on my nose that made me lift my hand and scratch it, but it would always come back forcing me awake.

I blinked my eyes open and squinted at the fluffy white thing blocking my eyesight. My brows furrowed in confusion. I heard a deep chuckle, so I looked around the feather that was being held by the culprit—Zaliver. He was kneeling next to my side of the bed with an amused smile on his face. I immediately wanted to smile at him, but the memories from last night resurfaced.

I pursed my lips at him, not saying anything. His smile fell a little, and he didn’t say anything about it. My stomach then growled at the scent of fresh streaming food close by. Pulling the large feather away from my face, he revealed one of those small bed tables with breakfast on it, as well as a single red rose. I glanced at Zaliver.

“Good morning, beautiful. Breakfast in bed to start your morning,” he murmured softly, his eyes with excitement and joy gazing at me. I might be angry,

    I suddenly heard a snap. I turned my head to the direction of the sound. Then, I heard a shuffling noise and a continuous thumping sound. I stood up for a few minutes before realizing what I was hearing—a wolf running with a pounding heart. But the thing was miles away. Far enough to strain a werewolf’s hearing.I blinked in surprise. Sure, I could hear everything else around me, but the things I had heard before were in sight and close by.I sighed. I was already changing, and it hadn’t even been twenty-four hours since I was bitten. Did I really have one to two weeks, as what Zaliver guessed I would have, before the change? Or was he wrong?By now, the wolf had gotten closer and was about to burst through the forest in a few seconds.A brown-coated wolf ran out of the forest. It hadn’t noticed me yet, but when it did, I could tell it was taken by surprise because it tripped the moment it lifted its head in my direction. Its front legs froze but its back legs continued moving. I knew

    Blake bursted through a door with me behind him. There was a small group surrounding a guy who looked just like Blake, but he was red and almost purple in the face. He must be Drake.“Breathe, you idiot. It’s not worth dying!” Hannah screamed at him.“Breathe! I’m back!” Before Blake could even finish his sentence, Drake inhaled loudly, gasping to get as much air as possible.“Jesus Christ! Took you long enough! A few more seconds and I’d have to explain to Mark why Hannah and I weren’t going to be home for dinner because we were behind bars for being bystanders to murder!” Johnson yelled, tugging on his curls that for once were out their usual ponytail.“Haha, he looks like a tomato! We should take a picture!” an amused girl commented.“It’s a shame,” another girl said, sounding displeased.“Are you okay, Drake?” a small voice asked. The question came from a red-haired girl with green eyes, which were similar features to Luke. His sister, Leslie, was leaning over Drake who held a fin

    I barely even heard the soft thumping that was nearing me at lightning speed, and when I did, Zaliver was already beside me. Before I could say anything, he scooped me into his arms and continued running.I closed my eyes and clutched at him with all my strength as he moved at frightening speed. My stomach felt like dropping. We suddenly stopped in front of our room. He let go of me, sliding my body down his, and leaned over me to open the door. I took the chance and entered.“What happened? Are you hurt?” he asked, fussing over me. He took a step closer to me, but I held up a hand.“Vivian.” He tried taking a step again, but I backed up.“I’m fine. No need to check me. I just bumped into a new friend, and there was a . . . uhh, complication, but everything is alright.” His blue eyes narrowed suspiciously at me.“What new friend? And you mentioned murder?” I chuckled at the last part.“Just a friend, and yeah I did, but no one’s dead. Everything is fine. You really didn’t have to come

    “You messed up on so many levels, Zaliver, that you should be happy I’m even talking to you. Let me explain to you what I’m feeling right now. Yes, you did tell me you would mark me at some point. However, you seemed to have forgotten to inform me of how you would do so. I’m also sure the fact that you were going to bind me to you forever without mentioning you were a Lycan, which I and everyone else thought was fake,had slipped your mind. And let’s not forget about you chasing me through the forest in your scary ass from when you planned to sink your larger-than-life teeth into my neck. Zaliver, you might as well have chased me with a goddamn knife! And if you think I’m only mad at you for that, then you’re wrong.I’m more than just mad. I’m furious at the fact you forced the mark on me after saying that once marked, I would become the very thing that made me run away in the first place. I’m livid at how you expected me to just follow along whatever you told me to do, keeping me in

    “Mom?”I held my breath as the other line went silent and then a choking sob escaped the phone.“V-Vivian? Is that you?” My mom’s voice trembled. My heart clenched painfully.“Yeah, Mom, it’s me,” I whispered into the phone, having a hard time not to cry out of happiness. Her voice alone sent a wave of homesickness that had me wanting to be wrapped in her arms. It’s not like I didn’t miss her, but it hit me hard so much as soon as I heard her voice.“Oh my god, my baby girl! I’m sure you probably don’t have too much time, so I’ll let you speak. Where are you? Who took you?” My brows furrowed at her words, but I quickly understood. She must be thinking how hard it was for me to somehow manage to call her despite being “kidnapped.“ I tried not to dwell on that and chose to enjoy her voice.“No, Mom. It’s fine. I can talk to you all I want.” I looked up at Zaliver, forgetting he was there but wanting to let him know that I would fight him if he dared to take the phone from me. Thankfully

    We stared at each other. He was serious. I was confused, but my mom talking to me made me hold my questionings.“Oh, that’s wonderful, but how? And why can’t you two come here?” There was happiness in my mom’s voice. I guess now hearing I was not in danger and I was with my mate who she always believed would take care of me calmed her down considerably.“For many reasons, Mrs. Gray. Won’t you like to see where your daughter now lives?” His voice became persuasive and pleasant. If I was in my mom’s shoes, even I would be curious to know.“Uh, yes, I guess. So, you two are living together? I don’t know how I and your father feel about that, Vivian. You two just met. Maybe Vivian should come home and both of you can—” His arm suddenly tightened around me. His hold was no longer comforting but possessive as he pulled me closer as if my mom would somehow reach in through the phone and pull me out of his arms.“I’m not so sure about that. We have much to discuss that is why I’m having you b

    Shock rang through my body as it wasn’t the answer I expected to hear.“W-what? You mean your house? Right?” I asked him. He bit his bottom lip. Desire burned through my body as I wanted to bite his lip as well, but I pushed it aside. He shook his head at me.“No, our house. I-I had a house built for us.” My eyes widened even more. I wasn’t sure if it was because I had never heard him stutter out of nerves or because he had a house built for us.“When?” I asked, having a hard time to swallow and turning to study the house. It looked new but also looked like no one lived in it.“I-I . . . umm . . .” He gave a frustrated growl and covered his face with his hand.My mouth parted at the sudden display he was giving—not the strong and confident god that everyone feared but a nervous and somewhat embarrassed man. A small smile made its way across my face. For him to struggle in saying something meant he was opening up to me, which I could guess was extremely hard for him. He was trying.I t

    Two days passed a lot faster than I thought, especially when those two days were spent learning about our new house with my mate popping up every few hours with gifts and flowers and a dazzling smile with heart-stopping blue eyes.I fixed up the house and added things from my shopping sprees with Hannah, who had way more fun decorating my house than I did. I kept looking for something to fix since my parents were coming in a few hours. I really needed to do something other than to shop. I was sure even Zaliver’s card had its limits. I think .At the moment, I was looking over my house-greeting outfit much to my dismay. I felt like one of those housewives inviting her parents into her new home with her husband to show we were living the grand life. I curled my hair a little and wore a silver chain around my neck and the diamond drop earrings Zaliver brought me yesterday to match my soft peach dress. I guess me dressing up all nice was a way to show my parents I was being very well care

    Whistling, I walked around him and whipped my fingers on my shirt.I wrapped my hand around his neck and lifted him out of the chair, making him thrash once more.“Ready to talk? No? Okay. This ought to change your mind,” I said after he spat on the ground as an answer.With one hand around his neck, I thrust my other hand into his lower mid back, going through the skin and pushing my hand into his flesh. I wrapped my hand around his spinal cord and pulled.Snap!His lower half slumped. I pulled my hand out and left half of his spine hanging out of his back. Walking to the front again, I whipped my bloodied hand on his face and smiled as he gave little twitches. His eyes were wide with horror and pain. He seemed to be frozen in shock.“Y-you’re a monster. You’ll go to h-hell,” he managed to say.“Of course I will. Someone needs to take the throne.”I laughed and walked back around him.~•~I clasped the back of Jack’s shoulder and shook him roughly, leaning forward in a serious and sl

    I swiped my hand across his chest, leaving four deep claw marks over his chest to which he immediately let out a cry. His wounds began to bleed out and then slowly, so slowly, it began to heal.I made eye contact with him. Pale and sweaty, he glared at me with as much hatred as he could. We hadn’t even begun but he was already throwing glares at me.Swiping at the remaining part of his shirt, I tore it away from his top body, not wanting anything to stand in the way of the next process. He’d be lucky if I didn’t get to his back; that is if he died in this process, of course.“You can’t heal flesh if you don’t have any,” I said darkly, humor thick in my wild-like voice.The beast enjoyed it.He reached out and dug his claws in the top part of Jack’s left shoulder, ignoring the boy’s cry and cutting out the shape of a square on both of his sides. Looking at Jack deeply in the eyes, the beast put his claws under Jack’s skin before it could begin to heal, and pulled downward, yanking the

    Zaliver AzralaI stood in front of the metal bolted black door, hearing Jack Ruston struggle against the chains that held him to his chair. If I focused enough, I would see his immense body heat moving through the door, but I didn’t.I heard footsteps approaching me from my right.“Is this what I asked for you to set?” I asked without turning to look at Albericus who grunted out a yes. I nodded at him, making him walk away.My beast grew more and more excited at the prospect of having fun now, finally having someone he was going to sink his claws into for this whole mess. I couldn’t agree more. He paced back and forth within me, lifting its head up and then looking at the black door in front of me. He lunged at it as if he was really doing it. He tried to force me to do so, but I held him back.“Patience . . . You will get your turn,” I murmured to him.When Albericus informed me of the quick and efficient capture and imprisonment of Jack, I was glad. The little rat sat with panic and

    Making my way back to the park, I made my way quickly and made sure I looked like I was in a hurry, keeping my head down to avoid having the blood on my face seen by others and get stopped before I’d even make it. The sun was low in the sky, giving off a dramatic and beautiful flare of different shades in the sky. It was perfect.Once I made it a few steps, I began probably one of the best performances in my life.I began pacing back and forth, looking down and shaking my head. I stopped and sat down, bringing my knees to my chest and rocking back and forth very quickly. I then let out sounds of distress. My ears caught the sound of mumbles and slow approaching steps of four hearts. Without having to smell the air, I knew it would be them.They weren’t nearing me fast enough as if not sure what was going on.“Ohhh! I’m so confused! So lonely!” I cried out pathetically. I was feeling so emotionally cold that I was finding it hard not to snort at how flat it sounded.The moment I stood

    “But I really should return this; could be important.” I smiled at their surprise and horrified expressions.My sensitive ears picked up a sound—the vibration of a phone. My eyes scanned them, realizing it was coming from the red headed guy.I lifted a brow at him.“Aren’t you going to get that? Might be important .”Shaking his head, he reached into his pocket and took the phone out with a grimace. Pressing the answer button , he brought the phone up to his pale face, which just seemed to lose more and more color over time.The other line answered.“Hello?” he mumbled, looking straight at me.The line on the other side followed his exact same words.“ Mmhh ,” I mumbled, ending the call and pocketing my phone.“Okay, spill. Who are you and why do you have my number, which then leads me to asking why are you following me?” I ask them seriously. I wanted to know what these familiar people were up to and where we met, not to mention why they appeared to be following me.“Look,” the tall

    The four strangers didn’t turn to face me; they just stood still. My phone stopped ringing.“Maybe if we don’t move,” the tall blond man began to whisper.“Shut up!” the short red-haired guy whisper-shouted, interrupting the other.“I can’t believe this,“ a tall woman with her dark hair pulled back muttered. Her pony tail moved side to side as she shook her head.“We are so dead,” another with a similar hairdo said.I wasn’t sure what to do. They were all muttering stuff under their breath and not turning around to face me, but that thing with the phone was weird. They couldn’t have called me, right? That would mean that they had been talking about me the whole time. I shook my head mentally. There was no way they were here for me; it must have just been some crazy coincidence.I knew that any other person would have stayed away from them, but something told me they weren’t dangerous. Well I mean, they looked like they were ready for action, but personally, I felt like they wouldn’t h

    “Hey, Dad . . .” I began. I guess my tone caught his attention because he frowned.“What’s up?” he said, leaning onto the desk and turning his body to face in my direction with concerned eyes. I groaned and threw my head back, taking a deep breath. I thought for a second before speaking to him.“Do you—I don’t know—ever get the feeling like you’ve forgotten something really important?” I asked. He nodded at me, clasping his hands in front of him.“Plenty of times. Just the other day, I forgot to tell your mother I—” I shook my head at him.“No, like you shouldn’t be doing what you’re doing even though it makes perfect sense as if you’re supposed to be somewhere else doing something else?” I swung my legs over and sat up, placing a hand on both knees. Dad looked at me for a moment before an understanding look crossed his face. For a moment, I thought he understood me.“Is this about you not being in college yet? Because it’s okay to take a year off—” I stood and threw my hands up in fr

    I stopped clicking and let the Vampire Diaries play. As soon as Damon came on, my breath hitched. It wasn’t because of his hotness. Looking at him made me go blank. I blinked multiple times and made a face. I squinted at the screen when a sense of déjà vu hit me. Black and blue. I shrugged and kept flickering through the TV.“Somebody saaave meee!—”“I got in one lil fight, and my mom got scared—”“Next up, Hannah Mon—”“I’m not your dad—” I went back.“ . . . tana. ” My brows furrowed in confusion.Staring at the screen, I frowned.“Hannah. Hannah. Hannah?” The name rolled off my tongue without thought. Something about that name. Eh, I was too old to watch this.Slap “Whore! ”“Oookay,” I mumbled to myself, quickly changing the channel.“What are you wearing Jake from State Farm?” My head tilted to the side.“Uhh . . . khakis.”“She sounds hideous.”I turned the TV off. Why did I get the feeling like I had compared someone to Jake from State Farm before? Man, it had been a weird coup

    Going back into my own mind and body, I grinned at the boys, not caring how they both tensed and the worry and fright that wafted off of them. I nodded at Albericus. He quickly focused on me, understanding that the next few hours were about to get a whole lot more productive.Any tiredness in my body vanished. My body straightened up and my shoulders rolled back. I tilted my head side to side, cracking the joints. I didn’t even care that my hair was hanging over my eyes anymore. If anything, I knew it made the look on my face a whole lot more chilling. I pointed a finger at my beta and good friend.“Put Jack Ruston into a room under the cells. You’ll find him hiding four blocks away from where his mate lived. It is a rundown hotel that goes by the name Legrove at room 42. If he hears you, he’ll hide out on the roof. Bring him to me. Now go.” Without another word, Albericus shouted in the room, yelling orders into his phone to assemble a team with fierce green eyes and go back to their
