(POV: Lina)"Foolish child! Of course not!" Scarlett denies, squeezing my right cheek while Deniel watches silently. "You don't have parents, sweetheart. You are a being created in a laboratory."Tears stream down my face, and Scarlett finds even more amusement in my suffering. I can't cry in front of them, I can't show weakness, but I can't help it. My heart aches so much. Everything I thought was real turns out to be illusions implanted in my brain. But why? What is the purpose of all this?"Don't cry, Lina. We had our reasons for doing this," Deniel says, handing me a piece of white cloth to wipe my tears. "Now you can know the truth about your history.""And what is my history?" I sniffle. "Can I trust you?""You decide, Lina," Scarlett sits in a chair in front of a vanity. "Do you want to know?"With limited options, no option at all, I nod my head up and down, silently saying yes."Over six hundred years ago," Deniel begins, "I had a family. We were very happy. I was a well-know
(POV: Nicollas)"Supreme, all the trackers are already in the vicinity," Albert says as I enter the room. "We are awaiting your orders."I don't respond to him, nor do I even look at his face. I stride apace to the center of the conference room and clear my throat, capturing everyone's attention."As most of you already know, I have found my Luna," I announce, scanning the audience as they listen. "She is currently missing, and I want you to find her."I spot a hand in the crowd and realize it belongs to Logan, Melanie's mate and the future alpha of their pack."And what is your connection with her, Supreme?" he questions, pushing my last shred of patience."If I could find her through our bond," I mutter through gritted teeth, "I wouldn't send you all to search! Now do your job and obey your Supreme."Logan lowers his head, and I see anger tense his jaw. I don't care; I'm not here to please anyone. I only want to find my mate."Well, I have a piece of Lina's clothing with me. I wa
(POV: Lina) "For Lina, we're not like that!" Lua exclaims, hurt by me. "Please, STOP!" "No! He deserves this! He betrayed us, Lua, him and that worthless girl!" I speak with hatred, tears welling up in my eyes. "They deserve something worse than this!" "If you do that, I'll never speak a single word to you again, and I won't let you turn into a wolf again, Lina!" Lua threatens me. "What did you say? You wouldn't have the courage to do something like that!" I say disbelievingly. "Do it, and you'll see!" I do not believe her. You know what? When I'm done, I'll have a little chat with Lua. She better be prepared. I look at Nicollas, who is kneeling (naked and all bruised) along with Melanie (who is in the same state as him). Nicollas is crying and looking into my eyes... Those eyes... Why does love hurt? Why did he betray me? Why? Those eyes... They're telling me something, but my anger is so great that I can't decipher them.
(POV: Scarllet)"When will you finish her, Deniel?" I ask annoyed."When my purpose with her is fulfilled, Scarllet," he calmly replies.Ugh! Always the same excuse, I roll my eyes."But you already have her blood. She won't be able to help you with anything else. She's just a werewolf's mate..."Deniel grabs my shoulders and forcefully pins me against the wall, causing my back to collide with it. He brings his face closer to mine, and for a few seconds, our breaths mix. He looks into my eyes, moving even closer. I take a deep breath and close my eyes in anticipation. Finally, after so many centuries, he's going to kiss me!And to my utter frustration, I sense his hot breath in my ear."Don't question me, Scar!," he says, caressing the right side of my neck with his left hand. My body responds to his touch, warming up and sending shivers throughout. "Remember, I'm the one who dictates what we should or shouldn't do!"With that, he steps back, and my gaze falls to the ground. Will I ev
(PoV: Sophie)"Ana?"I softly call her name as I open the creaky wooden door to the room."Hi, sis!" Ana speaks in a hushed tone, due to her frail condition.I approach her and sit on her bed, looking at her face, so sad and worn. My heart tightens and bleeds for not being able to do anything for my beloved little sister.Tears well up in my eyes, but I don't allow myself to cry in front of her. I have to be strong, show her that there is hope, that one day we will leave this place, with her cured, and have a better life together.With these thoughts, I gently stroke her beautiful golden-brown hair, and she gives me a weak and tired smile."How are you feeling today, Ana?" I ask, trying to keep my voice as calm as possible."A little better... Cough-cough," she covers her mouth due to a coughing fit.It takes a few seconds for her coughing fit to subside. I look at her hands, and they are stained with blood. My eyes widen, and I can no longer hold back my tears.Oh, my poor sister. He
(P.O.V: Lukky)"Supreme?" We called, but seeing the door of his mansion ajar, Milly and I entered without knocking."Supreme?" Milly called out again.Where could he be?"SUPREME!?" we called, but once again, there was no response.The house was silent. Milly and I made our way to the meeting room, which was in disarray with everything broken. We walked through the living room, kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms. But there was no sign of the Supreme."Let's check if he's in the mansion's backyard, Lukky," suggested my sweet companion. Her voice bringing me calmness only by hearing it."Let's go!"I intertwined my fingers with Milly's hand, and together we headed towards the mansion's garden.When we arrived, we were taken aback. What was once the most beautiful garden in the entire region, belonging to the Supreme and meticulously cared for by the best gardeners, was now in a sorry state. The flowers were wilting and dying, the leaves were withered, and even the trees looked lifeless. T
(POV: Lina)"I miss your gift of making me smile and that calming smile of yours."Tears stream down my eyes, and sobs are forming in my throat."I miss your scent before sleep and your tender way of waking me up."More tears and now sobs escape my throat and leave my mouth."I miss you every morning. Without you, my day is so dull. It's in your heart that my love hides, that's why I say I'm close even when I'm far away." - Song: "Mesmo Longe" by Nando Moreno and Cristiano Araújo.Oh, how my heart aches. It's been a week since I left this cursed room. Despite the door always being open due to my claustrophobia, I'm not allowed to pass through it. It kills me inside. But the punishment I received for disobeying once makes me think a thousand times before disobeying again.Sophie can no longer stay with me. She only comes to bring my meals and leaves. I asked about her sister, and she only smiled at me. Even without saying anything, I deduce from that simple and genuine smile that her s
(POV: Lina) "Serious? Is that all you've got?" Scarllet mocks Sophie's punch at the punching bag hanging from the ceiling. "Weak human! Tell me, what's the reason for you being here?" Anger takes hold of me. I hate people who treat others with such arrogance and disdain in their eyes. "Disgusting human? Tell me, walking blood bag!" "She came to train and get stronger!" I speak firm, interrupting the conversation and moving away from the wall. I stare at Scarllet, showing no fear whatsoever. "As far as I know I haven't talked to you, "supreme"," she says, rolling his eyes. "But I," I point to myself, "am talking to you," I point to the bloodsucking creature in front of me. I look at Sophie, her face sweaty and her eyes teary. In a brief moment of distraction, I didn't notice when Scarllet approached me. With her purple eyes (which sent shivers down my spine), she kicked me in the ribs, throwing me against the wall. As I hit the ground, I taste the metallic flavor of
Hello, we've come to the end of this duology. It was very rewarding for me to write each scene. I really hope you enjoyed the story.Oh, by the way, I'd like to invite you to check out some of my other books:I Kissed My Boss, Book 1;The Love of an Invisible andThe fate of the rejected alpha, book 1;In particular, I urge you to check out the third title, where there's a whole new world of werewolves, which I've worked hard to create.I'll leave one of the chapters for yous: A Thief:A THIEF WHO DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO BE A THIEFThe sounds of many voices mingling with each other awakes Bloodstain from the first peaceful sleep she had in her entire life. She rubs her eyes with the back of her hands and takes a few seconds to make her vision focus on the image of two humans in front of you, a male and a female."Ah, so finally the liar woke up," the female says and starts walking toward Bloodstain, but Cynthia stops her."Stop it, Carla," Cynthia's tired
(POV: Deniel)I feel a shiver run through her body, and she looks at me with lust in her eyes. I capture her lips again in a deep and enticing kiss. She eagerly reciprocates, pressing her body closer to mine.I end the kiss with a few pecks on her lips and move to her back. With care and patience, I unzip her white dress, and it falls to her feet, revealing a tantalizing all-white lace lingerie that covers the bare minimum of her sculpted body. I spend a few seconds admiring the beauty of my woman; her body now boasts generous curves, and her breasts are ample and perky. My hand itches to touch them. The woman in front of me is very different from the girl I met a few years ago, attempting to climb the mountain.As she looks at me curiously, I begin to undress myself. Every part of my exposed body is evaluated by her like a hungry wolf. "You're beautiful," she says after I remove the last piece, standing completely naked in front of her."You're beautiful too, my she-wolf," I say, car
(POV: Deniel)"Yes, for a lifetime," I say, looking into my she-wolf's eyes. "I love you," I whisper."My daughter," he looks at his daughter lovingly. "Do you accept Deniel as your husband?""Yes," she says excitedly. "For a lifetime.""Are you sure?" he questions, and I stare at him in shock. "Don't judge me for trying," he shrugs. "I now pronounce you husband and wife; no need to kiss the bride," he says hastily.I ignore him and take my Renata in my arms, and then everything around us fades away. We are locked in each other, in our little world of love."Get your tongue out of my daughter's mouth, cheeky wizard," Nic says, and I roll my eyes, stepping away from my wife. "Let's all head to the party area," he says loudly.Before we can make our way to the other side of the garden to celebrate, there is a line of guests wanting to congratulate us.Lina approaches with her husband, and they both hug and kiss their daughter, then hug me as well, and my she-wolf still cries with emotio
(POV: Deniel)TWO YEARS LATER.I finish putting on my gray suit and gaze at my reflection in the mirror. I run my hand through my hair and feel my eyes welling up. I can hardly believe I'm getting married again, and this time to the love of my life, the woman who was destined for me. It's so incredible that I feel like I've lived all these years waiting for this day.That little girl captured me just the same way, and I'm grateful to the moon goddess. I had given up on love a long time ago, and I never thought I would live or feel something of this magnitude.Finally, I will have the opportunity to build my own family, an extension of the core my little wolf belongs to. I never imagined that, at this stage of my life, I would have in-laws, and very present ones, by the way. I don't blame them; they went many years without seeing their daughter, and now I'm taking her away, not literally, after all, we will live here in the pack.Our house has been ready for some time; I was the only o
(POV: Lina) "Even though you already know each other, I want to introduce you the same way my brothers did," she says, looking at me seriously. "Mom, this is Deniel, my mate." My heart races, and various memories start swirling in my mind. My eyes fill with tears, and I don't understand why, out of so many men in the world, my daughter had to be mates with him. "But you're a wizard," I say still in shock. "What spell have you cast on my daughter, you wretch?" I ask, approaching. "Mom, there's no spell," she defends him. "Stay away from him!" I demand, pulling her close to me. "Leave, I won't let you use my daughter for your cheap revenge." "Lina, listen to me," he pleads. "There's no revenge, let alone a spell," he says exhausted. "I love Renata; when I found out she was my mate, I didn't imagine it would be your daughter." "What would change if you knew?" Renata asks, hurt. "Nothing," he says quickly. "Nothing, my love, I'm just trying to make your mother understand that it wa
(POV: Nicollas)"Well, there's only one witch on Earth," she states. "But the plans didn't work out." She takes a deep breath. "They discarded me when I was four years old, and I ended up in this pack. At sixteen, I shifted for the first time, and that's when I found Nic." She looks at me and smiles. "My creator kidnapped me, he wanted to use me as a weapon, he enchanted me and forced me to fight against the wolves, but during the battle, I got hurt and almost got killed. I think he felt compassion and saved me. Going against all the evil he wanted to do through me, I'm grateful because on the day he saved my life, he also saved the lives of my pups that I didn't even know I was expecting.""So he saved me and Lucca too?" Luan comments."You, Lucca, and Renata," she says, looking at her son."Renata?" Lucca speaks up. "What do you mean, who is Renata?""I got pregnant with triplets," Lina explains. "On the day you were born, my little girl was kidnapped by that cursed vampire, and by
(POV: Nicolas)It's been a week since everything happened, and my mate still hasn't woken up. I'm really worried, and I miss her. I haven't had the courage to tell the boys that they have a sister and that she's among us. I want to deliver that news to them with Lina.I watch from my office window as my daughter and Deniel chat in the garden. I hate to admit it, but they look at each other with so much love, and I don't want to intrude on my little girl's happiness. If he's the one the goddess chose, I can only be sure he'll make my she-wolf very happy. But my fatherly jealousy is still quite evident. What comforts me is that he hasn't touched my girl yet. Selfish or not, that fact makes me very happy.I take a deep breath and decide to go back to Lina's side. I leave the office and head straight to our room. This has been my routine for all these days. I walk around the house a bit, talk to my sons, keep an eye on that wizard, and then return to my mate's side."Hi, darling," I say,
(POV: Lucca)Under the black cloak of the starry sky. The moon shines above us, casting a silvery light that painted the scene with a soft and romantic glow. The gentle murmurs of the nearby waterfall served as a soundtrack to the peace between me and Isabella.I lay on my back, gazing at the night sky, while Isabella rested beside me, her head on my shoulder. Our hearts beat in perfect harmony, as if the entire cosmos had conspired to bring us together.My hands delicately caressed Isabella's hair as she traced imaginary circles on my bare chest. Our eyes met, and a gaze filled with love and tenderness passed between us, as if our souls had communicated silently.The touch of our lips was as gentle as a night breeze. My lips met Isabella's in a kiss filled with passion and desire, but also with affection and care. It was as if we were exploring a new world together, each caress, each touch, each shared breath strengthening our connection even further.My hands roamed Isabella's body
(POV: Nicollas)I walk slowly to the mansion's garden to find Luan. My legs still ache a bit, and my heart is heavy because my mate is still unconscious, which worries me greatly.Under a tree, I find Luan sitting on a blue blanket, and Lucia is lying on his chest. Surprisingly, this scene doesn't bother me. I walk towards them, and before I get close, they notice my presence and stand up."Dad," Luan runs and hugs me. "I'm so glad you woke up.""Hi, son," I hug him back."Hi, Mr. Nicollas," Lucia greets, and I nod."How are you, my son?" I hold him by the shoulders and assess his entire body. "Did you get hurt?""No, Dad," he smiles. "I'm fine, don't worry.""It's a relief to hear that," I say relieved. "Where's Lucca?" I ask, looking around."He's out there somewhere, taking a walk with his mate," he replies. "Isabella is his mate, I never imagined.""That's great news," I genuinely approve. "I'm so happy that you two have finally shifted." I ruffle his hair."And I wanted to introd
