~~~ Hayden ~~~
The very minute the door opened and I saw the bloody vampire, my heart started racing at an accelerated rate, I could feel the fucking organ threatening to escape my chest, but not for the reason one might think.
There is no chance in a million that I would be scared of a fucking vampire.
In fact, a single vampire can hardly be a match for me and my father, although Gabriel is one of the most powerful of his kind, one of the originals or what they call the first vampires, one that by all means should not be underestimated.
No, I was instead fucking terrified that some harm would come to my mate for we were not yet prepared for a war. I don’t think that we would ever be and nobody inclines towards one, it should be avoided at all cost, that’s why I needed more time in order to prepare a strategy.
‘You know why he is here. I can handle him!’ My wolf snarls inside, demanding to take the lead.
‘No, we
~~~ Xander ~~~ It takes every bit of self-control not to kill both the vampire and the witch right this instance, I’m surely more powerful than both of them. Even though I didn’t see Alita for almost twenty one years, in regards to our set of skills, she was always third. My deceased sister, Faith, occupied the first place as she was the mightiest witch that has ever walked on Earth, and I was second, but not even close to her. Gabriel is trying to force an answer out of my Allaya by compelling her with his vampire charm, while Alita is holding the werewolves in her magic leash. I’d help them because it troubles me deeply to see their agony, but I am more focused to keep untraceable the spell Faith put on Allaya before she died, the one that maintains my daughter human in almost every aspect. Even if that means she can bleed and be hurt like any other normal human. “Pathetic! Look how she fainted, she’s just a lowly human! Leave th
~~~ Hayden ~~~My wolf is restless and tormented, the things that Allaya said tore my heart into small pieces. I know that her words were thrown in the heat of the moment, and that her actions were the result of mixed feelings bottled up inside her frail human body, but I’m still experiencing pain.Although it hurts me even more to admit it, she was entitled to say those fucking words.She is the innocent victim here.How helpless she should have felt when that fucking vampire played with her in front of the people that should have protected her. I am a fucking useless piece of shit, anger is boiling inside me, I can sense it running through my veins.The outrage spotted in her eyes was matched only by the fucking helplessness I felt when that bloody vampire tossed her away as he pleased, while we were all neutralized by that blasted witch.She went through so much in the last days, I’m surprised how well
~~~ Hayden ~~~Allaya has no fucking idea how much she affects me and my body. My cock is painfully throbbing in my pants, begging for relief. It’s the second time I made her orgasm, the second time I was abandoned in a room, with my manhood hard as a fucking rock.I swear that when I’ll have her, I’m going to take my sweet time with her, she won’t be able to walk for days, she has to pay for what she’s putting me through.‘She is hiding something!’ My wolf interrupts my fantasies.I sigh. ‘I know, Maddox, I felt it as well.’‘And she is scared of whatever that is.’‘I’m aware of that as well.’I need to find out as much information as I can to put the pieces together.I mind link my beta, Liam, to ask if he solved the task I gave him a few days ago. If he would have figured it out, he would have informed me, I’m ju
~~~ Hayden ~~~A sudden pang of anxiety strikes me, cold sweat is running down my spine. Liam is taking his sweet time to open his mouth and utter the damn words.My heartbeats are on overdrive in anticipation, I need to hear the fucking piece of intel he has, I need to know how news of that dire incident got all the way to the members of the Council. I know that they have eyes and ears everywhere, but I want my pack to be free of traitors.To a great degree, I thought there was no fucking traitor here, but I am proved wrong, or else I cannot explain how they found out.“Speak, Liam! How did the Council find out about Allaya’s incident?”Waves of impatience are coursing through my bones, I have a bad feeling about this, something is most definitely off, I can read it on his face.“I’ll tell you, but promise me that you won’t get mad, she didn’t intend anything bad.” He pleads,
~~~ Xander ~~~ The last days were dreadful, sucking the life out of me. I've focused on keeping the spell solid, even if it will wear off in no time, she's going to be twenty-one years old soon. I am determined to postpone the moment until the due time. My sweet baby will be prepared when the time comes, not sooner. “Did they recognize her?” My wife’s words are filled with panic, she’s at the verge of a heart attack, she’s been through too much lately. My poor Aurora… first Elena left without a word, then Allaya suffered an accident. And the stress caused by our secret… “No, honey, nobody did, don’t torture yourself!” I embrace her lovingly, that’s all I’m capable of, I feel powerless against the course of nature. “What’s the extent of what she knows?” She asks, locking eyes with me. Tears are dripping on her cheeks, she’s sobbing uncontrollably. “She has not left the room since we got home, I’m worrie
~~~ Allaya ~~~More than one question is crossing my mind, there are so many things I need to latch onto, to assimilate, I stare at my friend not knowing from where to start.What is the thing that bugs me the most?“Why did you say Hayden and Arianna had an unbreakable bond?”I have uttered the words breathlessly, it goes without saying that my mouth listened to my foolish traitor heart, that right now is fighting to escape my ribcage.Amiera’s eyes pop wide open, that was obviously not what she had in mind. I'm surprised too that my first inquiry was about him, not related to all the sensational supernatural stuff.She cleared her throat before answering. “You sure you want to start with that?” She quirks a brow at me. “There’s more to tap into for you to be able to understand why I said what I said that night.”“I’m listening.”“So you must h
~~~ Allaya ~~~She has unshed tears in her beautiful purple eyes, her perfectly shaped nose is red and so are her cheeks. She is on the verge of breakdown, I’m talking about Arianna.I feel the tension rise around us as I watch her agonizing attempt to disclose some painful little dark secret that undeniably tortures her.The poor girl genuinely struggles to compose herself, whatever she wants to disclose to us, it’s not worth the pain she’s going through, I'd rather not have that information.“That’s enough!” I voice, enclosing her in a tight hug. “You don’t need to say anything.”“No, it’s fine. I too want to take this weight out of my chest. I’ve never talked about it, it’s a burden I've been bearing since too long. I want to get rid of it, I need to set myself free.” She insists, those unshed tears are now dripping on her face.“You sure?&rdqu
~~~ Hayden ~~~‘Do you plan to attack him in his human form? What a tough beast you are!’ I mock Maddox to tame him, and I sense how it’s working like a charm, his anger is slowly dissipating.‘Fine, you win!’ He grunts and I refrain from laughing.“So, what do you need to break to the others?” Landon pushes over, his face flushed in rage.My brows furrow. “I think you know very well what.”There is tension filling out the atmosphere, making the air hard to breathe.Liam raises his hands in surrender. “Hey, we are all friends here, aren’t we?”But his words didn't stop the staring contest between me and my best friend. Or should I call it a glaring contest? If anything, I feel it has increased the hostility, our eyes are shooting daggers.“I think you should leave us.” I demand my beta. “We have to settle some stuff, just
