I can recall then, when she would sit with us to eat around the dining table and would smile all to herself without knowing she was doing it. Then she will tell us she was thinking about that man.I can't be doing the same now. Blake, when did you become a fool? It doesn't matter if she dies! I shouldn't care about her, and everything about her should be away from my mind now! What the fuck? "Sir, I am... so... sorry." The maid kept shaking, afraid to lose her life. I was sure she must have seen others drift to their deaths by my vampire fireball because of a mistake they made, but I am in a good mood today, so she is safe."Get out of here now!" I ordered, and she sped away like the wind while I turned back to my food, hissing and grunting to myself. I hope I never fall in love with her. Not even my mother would welcome any werewolf as my mate. Once I inform her she was a werewolf, mom would never let me accept her, not to talk about my father.After some minutes, I was done eatin
The scene of our first meeting was something that felt like a soothing balm. Each time it crossed my heart, I become softhearted and would only feel the urge to smile and wish to see her again. Especially that moment when she ran to get the drug, when she screamed and leaned close to my face to check if I was dead already; also that point when she sat on the stool beside the bed, locking her pretty eyes with mine."You can't kill her, right?" My mother bawled, breaking my world of thoughts as I cringed and pulled my head up to look at them. Both were standing in front of me with rage filled in their eyes like a lake of fire."I can..." My voice dropped out like a gasp, every hair on my body shooting up as I chilled at everything happening. I couldn't believe it, or could I tell what I would do. My parents won't spare her, and I fear what my mother will do next with her magic powers."Blake, when did you turn into a coward? Your sister wouldn't have given that man a chance if he was a
( Judian's POV )I clutched the flower I had just bought close to my chest as I padded over to his house, smiling sheepishly. It was going to be a surprise visit that would make him love me more, especially when he sees the flowers I brought for him.School was finally resuming a few days ahead, so I got to return to get myself prepared after spending the full holiday with my grandma, who lives quite far from our house. She was getting frail and sick, so I had to visit and help her throughout. Now I'm back, and my boyfriend isn't aware yet. I didn't tell him because I wanted to give him a surprise visit.That's romantic, right?The cool breeze and bright sky also attest to that, as they made my skin tingle. Words can't explain how happy I am now.I'm heading to meet Alpha Hudson, my boyfriend, or I should say my mate, since it's just a few days away. Yes!I'm going to fully turn 18 in two days, finally emitting my pleasant and alluring mate scent, which would confirm that we are mates
( Judian’s POV )Someone switched of the music, and I was the center of attention. The first thing they did was laugh, as they pointed at the bunch of flowers I had in my hand."Hey, don't call Hudson your boyfriend not to talk of mate! He finally got to sleep with you. There was nothing else he needed from you. Don't think he has loved you all this while? Even if you are his mate, he will reject you." Someone jeered from behind me, and everyone burst into a scornful laugh, except Damian."He has dumped you for the Beta's daughter."Another voice chipped in, and my heart sank into my belly as fear engulfed me.My legs melted under me, with tears stinging my eyes. I was so embarrassed and pained to look up at them.It can't be true, right? They must be lying.First was Hudson's sudden birthday party which I knew nothing about. The second was the strange expression on Damian's face, all because I called Hudson my mate, as if he were surprised and sorry for my ignorance.I don't just get
My jaw dropped as shudders ran through my spine; goose bumps filled my entire body with terror, hitting me so hard that my legs dragged back unintentionally.Rejection is the last thing I will be able to bear.All I prayed for was for it to be a prank. I waited for him to call it a joke, but he never did. I pulled myself together and moved closer to his front, cupped his jaw, and drew closer to him."It's a prank, right?" I muttered the question, gasping as I swallowed the bile in my throat. Tears were flowing freely down my cheeks."Don't touch me!" He huffed and slapped my hand away, pushing me off.I almost fell, but was able to stagger and get hold of myself again. The push wasn't with full force but had more of an element of disgust and loathing in it. I looked up at his expression and wished I hadn't because it was covered with hate, which I don't know why."I don't understand the lies you are talking about.You saw what we did in the room. Do you have any problems with it?" He
( Hudson's POV.)When she left, I hurriedly slammed the door loud, making sure she heard it. Yes, I want her to know fully well that I badly want her absence from my life. I banged it hard with a scoff as I recalled her alluring scent, which had filled my nostrils the moment she stepped into my room.I was having a good time with Filomena when the mate scent swoozed in. At first, I pretended like it was unreal. I kept kissing Filomena deeply, hoping that the smell would leave or at least come forth from Filomena's body, but it never came as I thought.I flicked my eyes to sideways only to see Judian standing there with a flower. Words can't explain the rage that filled my heart as i traced the smell to come from her. It was like I would burst as the anger swelled in my heart. She was my mate!On seeing how much she was hurt, I had to push my lips deeper and more intensely to break her down more, which I think I succeeded in, as she sped off the room, whimpering.It was a huge disappoi
(Judian's Pov)With a draggy step, I moved to the door of the sitting room and locked it before heading up to my room. Three steps up the stairs, I felt my head bang so hard. The scene of the heartbreak and rejection from Hudson hit me again, and I cried out, scurrying up to bury myself under my duvet.I hate myself for meeting him for the first time.Slamming the door in frustration, I kicked off my boots and leaped to slump on the bed when I heard a creepy grunt right outside my window.My brows arched, and fear crept in, as it was getting dark already, and I was alone in the house.What was that, then?As my heart thumped louder inside my chest in fear, I remembered I would be a hunter soon and needed to be brave, so I shoved off the fear and bolted to the window, rolled off the curtain and peeped through. I searched around and couldn't see anyone until I looked downwards.My jaw dropped, with shudders running up and down my spine as every part of me stiffened in horror. I couldn't
( Judian’s POV )The door was locked, and I couldn't think twice before kicking it hard, breaking down the hinges; I sped in and saw the pills lying in the cupboard.I picked it up and dashed back, this time faster than my legs could carry me, as I couldn't tell how long he could hold on to the pain since he was struck by more than two arrows.The moment I got into my room, he was lying motionless on the bed, and I felt my heart stop inside my chest as my blood ran cold at the thought that he could be dead already."No!" my voice shrieked through the room as tears stung my eyes with my heart so heavy.I exhaled in relief as I saw him awake, his heart thudding inside his chest; his eyes also opened. I can't believe I was concerned this much.He heard the scream. He saw how I ran over and leant to his face. That had made him smile weakly, displaying his dimples. I had to gulp and act like I never cared that much with a shrug."Take the pills. I can't find any ointment. This will cure yo
