(POV: Scarllet)I feel an indescribable anger as I remember being rejected once again. I dedicated years of my life to him, to his projects. I loved him for decades, and in one last completely unworthy gesture, I stood nearly naked in front of him. Still, he didn't want me. I feel extremely humiliated and doubly rejected. He didn't want my love, didn't want my body. But that's okay. I will finish what he started years ago, and I will see it through. Lina will pay dearly for stealing the love of the only man I ever loved in this life.With hatred burning in my veins, I've decided that I will not only kill Lina painfully and slowly, but I will also enslave all the wolves. They will pay for eternity, you filthy breed!Since Renata left on her mission, I've been turning humans into vampires to create a small army. I haven't had time to train them, but the supernatural strength and agility of my kind make a huge difference.The newly created ones aren't good adversaries in hand-to-hand com
(Pov: Scarlett)"Things around here have changed quite a bit," I said as I looked around and approached my daughter, who was leaning against a tree."You didn't take long at all, Mom," she said excitedly and quickly stood up to hug me."Yes, I've waited a long time for this day. Thank you for your good work, my dear, for giving me this revenge," I smiled, but I noticed that the smile she gave me was sad. I saw a glimmer of regret in her eyes. It bothered me, but I didn't question it now. I needed to hurry. "Are they alone?""Yes, the younger ones went to a championship in another pack," she informed in a low voice."Wonderful," I celebrated. My small army was hidden behind the trees around the house, waiting for my commands. "It makes it even easier to subdue that pack of lousy supremes," I mocked."What!?" Renata asked, alarmed. "Weren't you just planning to get back at Lina and...""I've changed my mind," I cut her off rudely. "I want it all, Renata.""But...""No 'buts,'" I said fi
(POV: Renata):"Get out of my way!" I demand angrily as I'm blocked by two men in front of the house door. My mother orchestrated everything perfectly, she even has henchmen."I'm sorry, but Mrs. Scarllet said no one...""I'm her daughter," I say firmly. "You better step aside now!" I order, feeling a strange tightness in my chest.They exchange glances and allow me to pass. I don't thank them, I just walk past them and even push their shoulders."Idiots," I mutter.My whole body tenses up as I see blood on the floor near the couch. I hear screams coming from the first floor and a deep sense of dread washes over me. Slowly, with my heart pounding, I climb the stairs, walk down the hallway until I get close to Nicollas' office. I stop and hold my breath upon hearing Lina's voice."What..." she spits out blood. "What did you do to my... daughter?" she says with difficulty, and I'm shocked to learn she had a daughter. I move a bit closer to hear my mother's response."How naive you are,
(POV: Scarllet)I watch nervously as Renata rushes out of the office, transformed into a wolf. This shouldn't have happened; she should have never found out the truth."Our girl has been here all along, Nic," I hear Lina's shaky voice, and I grimace."What part of 'She helped me in my revenge' didn't you understand?" I air-quote with my fingers. "Don't you realize you've been deceived by her all this time? Nothing I say will make you turn against her, nothing.""My daughter has been deceived by you all this time, nothing you say will make me turn against her, nothing," she insists, looking at me with swollen eyes."I will find her and make her drink a potion that will make her forget the past few hours," I promise."Dammit!" she screams, and I smirk mockingly."Take care of them," I instruct Rick and rush out of the house. I need to catch up with my daughter."Scarllet," Lina calls out. "If you harm my daughter, I'll kill you," she threatens."You're not in a position to make threats,
(POV: Luan Raphael)Today has been an unusual day. We left home early to join the gym group on their way to the Moon Nova pack for a championship. It was a surprise when my mother said that my brother, Lucca, and I would participate, but Lena, my friend, couldn't come with us. I confess I felt a bit sad that she wasn't here.But I couldn't miss this opportunity. Competitions don't come around often, and it's even rarer to see my brother Lucca fighting. He has been putting a lot of effort into our training and has improved a lot. He decided not to sit in the stands cheering for the gym; instead, he's going to fight. I believe his determination will lead him to first place.I wonder if the fighters from this pack are strong, but I believe we have a good chance of winning. This championship is a great opportunity to test my limits and knowledge. Whoever came up with the idea to create it is a genius.We arrived at our destination around four in the afternoon after a long walk of over twe
(POV: Deniel)I fix my gaze on the back seat and contemplate the girl who remains asleep. Even with the truck jostling through the rugged terrain of the mountain, she appears completely exhausted, not moving a muscle since she entered the vehicle.A loud noise fills the air, and I realize it's her stomach growling. Surely, she didn't hunt while in her human form, and my intuition tells me this was her first transformation.After a long half-hour drive on pothole-ridden roads, I finally park the car in front of my house. I step out of the driver's seat, go around, and carefully lift the fragile girl from the back seat. A sense of peace floods my heart with this gesture, as if my life suddenly gains a new purpose. However, it brings a painful memory, one I've tried to erase from my mind for so long: the moment I held Lina in my arms. Yet, what I feel now is different, deeper, and more meaningful."Aperire," I recite the word in Latin, commanding the door of my house to open. As soon as
(POV: Deniel)I squeeze my eyes shut, convinced that what I'm seeing is nothing more than an illusion. The goddess would never appear before me, much less like this, out of nowhere. I rub my eyes with the backs of my hands, and when I open them again, her figure is still there, standing a few meters away from me, looking at me with an expression that seems to suggest I'm a complete idiot."I can't believe it!" I exclaim, shaken by the madness of the situation."I'm not a mirage, Deniel," she assures me. "I heard your prayers and decided to bring peace to your heart.""You want to reassure my heart?" I question, perplexed and irritated. "My heart has been torn apart for hundreds of years. I've lived a hell on Earth. Don't tell me you've come to reassure it. It took half a millennium for you to hear my pleas?""Calm down, Deniel," she pleads. "Don't blame me for the misfortunes that have befallen your life. Don't take out your frustrations on me. I have no control over the decisions mad
(POV: Lucca)"Are you ready?" Isabella sits beside me, and I look at her in disbelief."What are you doing in the men's locker room?" I ask, feeling awkward with just a towel wrapped around my waist in front of her."I noticed everyone else left except you, so I came to see if everything was okay or if something had happened," she replies, shrugging."Something?" I arch an eyebrow and smile wryly."Yeah," she bites her upper lip, "maybe a stomachache," I burst into laughter."Thanks for your concern, Bella," I smile wryly. "But I'm fine," she looks at me skeptically. "Seriously, I'm just a little...""Fearful?" she interrupts, cutting me off."Apprehensive, I'd say," I start getting dressed in the last stall where she can't see me."It's fear," she states, and I make a face."It's not fear," I mumble, continuing to dress in the last stall, where she can't see me.She laughs loudly at my response, and I appreciate the sound of her laughter. I wish to see her smiling like this always be
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
