She gasped, a light exhale escaping her.
The strong smell and taste of alcohol coated my tongue—Château Margaux, specifically. But other than that, she tasted mighty fine.
'It's just a taste.'
My hand gripped the back of her head, pulling her up to meet my kiss.
For someone who was drunk, she took it quite well. And fuck, it was beyond good.
It felt like a brainquake, shaking up my thoughts in the most exhilarating way
'It's just a taste.'
My hand flexed around her throat. If she wasn't so drunk, I'd have choked her. But that wouldn't be too good now, would it?
I moved the hand downward until I reached the hem of her dress.
'It's just a taste.'
Yet, I couldn't stop my fingers when they moved beneath her dr

LYRIC "Lyric. Lyric! Wake up, sleepyhead!" There was a rough tap against my shoulder.My eyes fluttered open but quickly went shut from the light that nearly blinded me. "Open your damn eyes, will you?"I could recognize Jace's' voice from anywhere. I opened my eyes again and tried to adjust to the brightness in the room. "The windows," I mumbled. "Close them.""No. They're staying open until you get your ass out of bed. Why are you still asleep? What are you, a toddler?"My hand went over my forehead, feeling how hot it was. Was I running a temperature right now?"My head..." I moaned. It hurt. If I didn't know better, I'd think a party was taking place in it. "Of course, that is what happens when you stay up drinking into the night."I managed to look at Jace. He was standing at the foot of the bed, scowling at me like he was a parent. I sat up, dragging the duvet to my chest. What happened...?"What time is it?" I swallowed past the lump in my throat. "One p.m, ma'a

LYRIC My day at TCH was going fine. I had surgery in two hours, but before then, I was excited to see Xylon who had come for his monthly check up. I had my client's file in my hand and examined it as I headed to Xylon's room. It was the patient I'd be performing surgery on in a couple of hours. There was a lot I had to catch up on in his file."Hi, aunty!" Xyla's sweet voice reached my ears from the bed when I walked into the room. She ran into me before I even got the chance to look at her. "Hi, baby," I laughed, patting her on the back. I lifted my eyes to look for Xylon and my smile dropped, sinking low into my stomach in a way that hurt. My hands dropped to my sides, my eyes quickly darting to the floor. No one had mentioned he was here. I didn't brace myself for it. "G...Good morning." I'd never dipped my head so clumsily before. Lyric, please. Unlike me who was suddenly flustered, Jaris was effortlessly calm as he sat on the edge of the bed, next to Xylon whose

LYRIC My patient was sick with Chrono-Flux Displacement and had been in this condition for eleven years. Despite our strong immune system as wolves, there were still some unbeatable sicknesses and poisons. It was sad that some people even ended up losing their lives. The team was ready when I walked into the ward. Guinevere and two other doctors stood outside the window, watching. This was my second chance. I couldn't mess it up like I did the first time. The doctors would definitely lose faith in me. I stayed up late, rehearsing every process. I was wearing my abyssal gloves today as I didn't want to make contact. I won't be siphoning the man's sickness, but at least, the surgery would be successful.I started the process, praying deeply not to panic like the last time. Please, Lyric. You have to get this right. .......After an hour, the surgery ended. It wasn't until I dropped my suture that I realized it was successful. I didn't flinch!I laughed happily as I looked

LYRIC Two Days Later.It was the most important day in our world. The first of the three trials. I stood before the mirror, staring at my bleak reflection. My hair and makeup looked perfect. Jaris had hired professionals to attend to me and ensure I looked my best. Of course, it was important I looked my best. I'd be seated next to him as his Luna for everyone to see. He cared much for his reputation. Despite the anticipation in the air, I couldn't help the feeling of unease that gnawed at my stomach. Just a while ago, while I bathed, I did that stupid uncomfortable thing again. I touched myself until I came, all to the memory of that weird dream. I'd never been able to make myself cum before. But this...it was beyond anything I could explain. Beyond the memory.Each time the dream came to mind, it always felt real. It was as if I could feel him on me. Feel his kisses, his stimulating touch, his passion. It was too real to ignore. To real not to cum.And it bothered me.

JARIS The Alpha trials were never easy. If there was one thing they did, they made it look easy. Easy enough for you to let your guard down and fail. I waited in a separate hall with the others. Our phones were taken from us so there would be no form of communication, and all around us, there were guards, watching us like hawks. One at a time, an Alpha was taken out of the hall to go through his own trial. It would take about twenty minutes before they return and take another. The Alphas that had been taken to participate do not return to the hall. So, our numbers kept depreciating. Roderick was taken. The asshole had been glaring non-stop at me. I wish he'd fail. It'd be a delight to see the disappointment in his face. We were just three left when they took me. I shot Zarek a glance before leaving. He didn't look pleased at all. Pleased that I was here. Asshole. I followed the two men who led me down a corridor, stopping in front of a red door. One of the men addresse

JARIS "Why are you tied?" I went closer to the girl. "I have been this way for as long as I can remember, my king. I have been in captivity for so long I have grown accustomed to it.'She glanced at the wall. "My king, the clock is ticking." Her voice was filled with worry. But I didn't even glance at it. Not anymore. More of the Chairman's words came to mind. 'this is a trial for the wisest minds. It is to see how right you think.''you're to see yourselves as the Alpha King. Think as one. Act like one'I was the Alpha King. The girl before him was one of his people. She had been in captivity for so long. What kind of a king would I be if I abandoned her?I dropped to one knee, grabbed her hand and started undoing the ropes. I could easily tear the ropes apart with my Alpha strength, but one of the rules said not to use our powers in any form. The girl gasped, her eyes going wide with shock. "My King! You'll never be able to meet up!"I glanced at the clock. Just ten

LYRICThe party was beyond magnificent. It was heart-warming to see how much Jaris was loved by his people. There was a lot to eat, drink and talk about. The people of Darkspire were quite united. I could tell from how they gathered in groups and made jokes like one big family. A family I'd never had. "Hello, Luna." Someone nudged me from behind.I rolled my eyes as Jace stood beside me. "Hi, dad." I lifted my glass to my lips to take a sip, but he snatched the flute from me, drinking instead. "I like how you pay me some respect. It shows I trained you well.""You're an asshole, Jace." I slapped him on the shoulder. "You just coming?""Yeah. Had to stay back with my dad to discuss certain things."Kael walked up to us, holding a flute that was almost empty. "Congratulations, Lyric." His tone was clipped. The man was effortlessly grumpy even when he was attempting to be nice. "For what?" I chuckled. "Alpha Jaris was the one who displayed his smartness, not me.""Well, i

LYRIC Time went still for a long while. My head spun from the revelation. I shook my head, looking in the direction Marta had just taken."I—I think you're mistaken, Jace. Maybe you're mistaking the month or—""I can forget anything, but not Karen or what we shared in that brief moment. We met on the thirteen of June. Does that sound too precise for you?"He took a deep breath, running his fingers through his hair. "While I was overseas, I met her in Oryndor. We happened to be in the same hotel. I was in the lounge area, drinking when she came up to me. She started the conversation, and well, I was bored and played along. Next thing, we both end up in my room."I gasped, lifting a hand to my mouth. "Y—You had sex!?""Well, we wouldn't be reading in my room, Lyric. So, yes."Goodness! "She told me she'd simply been horny and wanted it to be a one-time stuff. But the next day, we had more sex. Look, what happened between us isn't the point here. The point is, Marta was never

LYRICThe room fell into heavy silence. Heads turned to Marta.Luna Isolde sprang to her feet. "What!? What nonsense is this!?"Jace continued with his narration. "Five years ago, on the thirteen of June, we met in Oryndor. I didn't know who she was, neither did she. But when I got to the Pack, I noticed she had been avoiding me. It wasn't until I met her that I realized why." He looked at Marta. "When we met in Oryndor, she should have been eight months pregnant. But she was not. Her stomach was as flat as that of a model's."My pulse quickened, like I was the one who just got exposed."No." Marta shook her head, going closer to him. "You are a bloody liar from the pit of hell. I have never met you before now. I'd never have anything to do with you!""Are you sure?" Jace tilted his head, his expression taunting.

LYRIC After an hour, the surgery was successful. As soon as the bullets were out and my hands continued touching him, I felt him getting better. The other doctors didn't know what was happening. Didn't know I was making everything faster with my powers. "He'll be awake soon. He just needs some rest now," I told the other doctors before leaving the ward. I rushed to the restroom to wash my hands. I was still shaking, and before I knew it, I was in tears. I almost lost Jace. If I hadn't been here to save him, it'd have been a whole different story. Who would dare do this to him? Jace never stepped on people's toes. Why would anyone want him dead?I spent a long time in the restroom until I was calm enough to leave. Jace had been moved from the surgical ward to a normal room. He was still asleep, Kael beside him. "Are you sure he'll be fine?" Kael asked in a raspy voice the moment I made my way in. "Yeah. You don't have to worry." I paused, actually taking the moment i

JACE What were the chances of bumping into someone you didn't wish to see? For Jace, it was ninety.He was at his father's complex, reviewing sales when a particular client walked in with a young, fine woman. A client he hadn't spoken to in days. Kael. After the awkward incident at Jaris' party, Jace had been doing all he could to avoid meeting with Kael. It was stressful that everyday at Darkspire, he had to pray not to run into him. He was sitting at the sales desk, the big book open in front of him. But his mind totally left the book and was occupied with Kael making his way into the shop with the beautiful lady's hand around his. They both tensed when they locked eyes on each other.The sales girls approached them immediately, offering them a warm welcome. But the woman beside Kael did the talking as he was busy staring at Jace. It took all of Jace's willpower to end the awkward stare and rise to his feet. "Kael. I'd love to say we're glad to have you here but, t

LYRIC Sunlight streamed through the window, resting on my face.I stirred awake from the discomfort, turning away from the sunlight and yawning.My head was a little light. It took a moment longer for the memory to flood in.Only this time...there was no memory.I slept peacefully through the night.He didn't come. Nobody made love to me.Looking at the side of the bed, I found the pill there.I brushed my fingers into my hair, completely down.The dream didn't happen because I didn't take the pill. Did this mean all the memories truly did happen in my dream? None of it was physical?****††I was so disoriented that even Jace noticed while I was having lunch with him. "Do you need a bigger spoon to turn your meal with? I could get one from the kitchen, you know?" He taunted. I rolled my eyes, snapping out of my thoughts. "I'm serious, Ly. For the past one minute, that's all you've been doing on this table. Now, are you gonna tell me what the hell is wrong with you?"I fina

LYRICMoments later, I left the man's room feeling more troubled. Guinevere was waiting just around the corner and watched me with beady eyes."Did you cry?" She looked confused.I sniffled, shaking my head. "The man and I...we just had a light talk.""So, what did he say? Did you treat him? I'm confused because Marta insisted it was her."This was so difficult. But I needed to start clearing my tracks if I wanted to live."It was Marta. Yesterday, while going on my rounds, I briefly checked on Mr. Pete. I didn't know he was already regaining consciousness. That must've been when Marta already... you know? Worked on him. I was the first doctor he saw. So, he just concluded it must be me." It was getting easier to lie by the day.Definitely not a good thing."Oh. I see." Guinevere nodded. "Did he say anything else, though?"I swallowed hard. "Yes. Just about how lonely it was when he was in coma. He's fine now."We started walking, heading to our offices."Are you fine, Lyric

LYRICAmong the clothes I picked, corporate wears were among. And as I got ready to go to TCH, I wore one of them.It was a grey knee-length dress, and I didn't think I'd ever been more in love with the color.I went to TCH for my nightshift, my heart feeling lighter and warmer.I wasn't new to this feeling. I was happy, and each time I was, there was always something to ruin my joy. This frightened me more than anything.The warmth was quick to diminish when I ran into Marta on the ground floor. Right. What an awesome way to start my evening. Fortunately, she looked like she was leaving.We walked past each other without saying a word, but that was until I recalled what I had in mind."Congratulations, Marta." I faked a smile as I turned to her.She was on me i

Dread settled in my stomach as I undressed to check myself. There was no smeared cum on me or anything. It didn't 'look' like I'd been touched. But I could 'feel' it. His arms around me. His mouth on mine. His smell.This was too real to be a dream.A few minutes later, I was with the ICT guys, asking them for a footage. Well, I was their Luna, and the moment I told them that someone might have broken into my room, they didn't hesitate to give me what I wanted. I checked the footage, and it came as a punch to the gut when I couldn't find anything. No one had entered my room, not even while I was at work.So, was it all a dream? Was that how the pill worked? It made everything feel real?When I bathed that morning, I didn't try to pleasure myself. I already felt this deep satisfaction in my belly. This unexplainable peace. It bothered me. ****† JARIS I had done a lot of bad things in life. Killed people for committing minor offenses, and hurt those I shouldn't have. Yet, non

LYRICI was shocked by how sudden the effect was. My head swirled, the room going in circles.What the...I lost my balance and would have dropped to the floor if I wasn't standing near the dresser to grip it tight.Oh, gods. What have I done? What did I take!?The sensation was worse than being drunk. It was just as if I'd been drugged by something heavier than my body could take.Dragging my legs and swinging my arms around, I managed to reach the bed. But I didn't get to climb it as I ended up on the floor, my head resting on the edge.I closed my eyes, my heart pounding in my ears.After a few minutes, it felt better.Not just better, but euphoric.I giggled at the insane sensation.My entire body seemed to be at so much peace. It felt like I was stuck between sleep and consciousness.Was I in the dream already? If I was, then where was he? Where was Jaris? Where was the man that hated me, yet made me feel good in my dreams?I knew the moment my door opened.****†****††

MARTA She walked into the patient's room with Guinevere. She had to wait around since the man was demanding for her and was called as soon as he was awake. "Mr. Pete. How're you feeling?" She asked with a warm smile. The man might have been sleeping for a long time, but he still looked dizzy. He shifted his eyes to Guinevere. "I asked for the woman that healed me.""You did. And she's in front of you," Guinevere furrowed her brows. The man gave Marta a long stare before shaking his head. "She's not... She's not."Chills spread through Marta's abdomen. This was the reason she had been reluctant to see him. But Guinevere kept insisting, saying their patient's satisfaction was important. And there wasn't much Marta could do to go against her superior. She put up one of her best smiles as she addressed him again. "Sir, I understand that you've been in coma for a long time. You're probably confused and—""No. I saw her. I know what she looks like. I need to see her."Marta's
