A/N; Also connected to this book is "The Lycan Princess Disguise," do well to check it out.When people sleep at night, they confidently expect to wake up in the morning; otherwise, they'd find themselves in another world. As for me, I longed for the exact opposite: not to wake up.Dying was better than feeling this ice spreading through my stomach. My destiny was sealed. Tomorrow I would be married to Seth Darkwood, one of the evilest creatures from the deepest part of hell.I'd stopped believing in the moon goddess since my tenth birthday and never prayed to her. But tonight, I prayed that she would take my life.Dying meant escaping all the pain I had to endure in the future. The thought of letting that evil creature touch me and spill his cursed seed into me made me shudder with fear.When my eyes popped open the next morning, I cursed her. She must either have thick wax blocking her ear or she was as wicked as Seth Darkwood.All the splendor of living in this big mansion and bein
Vespa When my best friend and roommate, Ria, rushed in, panting like a marathon runner, and slammed my textbook shut, I knew something was up. "What are you doing? I'm trying to study." "Has your boyfriend called you yet?" My response was a blank stare."No, I've been trying to reach him all day." "I saw him on campus.” I found her statement disturbing. Donovan never hides stuff from me. “That's impossible; he’s not back from the werewolf pack. Are you sure you aren't mistaken?" Ria arched her brow, staring me down. “Vespa, are you indirectly calling me blind? I saw him and even called out to him, but he pretended not to hear and hurried away. That's not all.” My ears perked up. “He was buying flowers at the florist near the school gate. He also had a bottle of wine, and I swear that I saw a ring box in his hand—a ring box, Vespa. Do you know what that means?” I halted, surprised. Then my heart lit with excitement and I shrieked, accompanied by a robust clapping. Ria shut he
Vespa Nothing prepared me for the killer headache that attacked my head when I forced my eyes open. It sounded like someone was beating rumba drums inside my skull. It was so bad that I couldn't keep my eyes open. Groaning, I rubbed my temples with my fingertips in an attempt to stop the ache, Then I lay still, trying to take in my surroundings. The headache vanished like a mist when I realized where I was; my bookshelf that had my favourite book collections, the familiar cream shade of my room, my cat… Fear trapped the wind in my chest. I was at my parents' house. I was supposed to be in school. This meant that my parents were aware of the disgraceful incident at the airport! Raw pain washed over me as Donovan's rejection replayed in my brain. That jerk swore his undying love to me two days ago and even told me sweet nothings about how he couldn't wait to see me. Grabbing my phone from the nightstand to call Ria, I realized my battery was drained. Just as I was cursing my l
Vespa Stunned, I watched the guys step down one after the other, and like ants to sugar, lots of girls were swooning over them. My eyes photographed them and the best adjective to describe them was 'perfect.' Well-muscled, they carried themselves with a commanding air of self-confidence very close to arrogance and stepped down one after the other, causing a frenzy among the girls. My mouth thinned with envy. I dabbed sweat off my forehead, hating myself for getting provoked by these abnormal freaks. Donovan's public embarrassment had taught me enough lessons for a lifetime. No more werewolves. "Vespa, these guys are freaking hot," Ria's eyes widened with excitement. "I almost fainted in the airport when I saw them trying to help you. You should thank them specially." "Sure. Will washing their feet and patting them dry with my hair be enough?" Ria laughed. I pitied the stupid girls who'd fallen right into their trap. "Look at that one in a white shirt rocking a blond man-b
Vespa "Ten minutes max and I'll bounce," I warned him. "Copy that," he mock-saluted. His smile broadened and I headed out, creating a distance between us. From nowhere, his brothers appeared, blocking us on the road. "What's going on?" I asked Ziah. "Where are you taking her?" The grumpy one (Kai) spat with the same arrogance as the previous day. Was he always this insolent? "None of your business," Ziah started to say, but his brother raised a brow."We're just going for lunch. What's wrong with that?" "Everything," Zeke, the beautiful one said with a much calmer tone, tossing his hair to the side. "You can't go out with her." "Why not?" "Because I said so." He tried to move closer, but man-bun stood in front of me. I stood there, wondering what these three rascals were up to. "You know what?" I raised my hands, tired of the back and forth. "I'm going to turn around and head in the opposite direction. Please do not follow me, else…" "Fuck off, Kai!" Ziah, my classmate, yel
KaiAnger was an understatement of how I felt after Vespa walked away. I was inflamed that my one chance of being with my mate was ruined by my overbearing brothers and my spoiled cousin."Get the hell out of here, Nebula." I snapped at the silly girl. "You're so infuriating."Nebula rolled her eyes, looking smug. "C'mon, Kia, I'm still your favorite cousin and you shouldn't dump me over a worthless human."Then she sat on the same seat Vespa had vacated, placing her manicured nails over my clenched fist and trying to pry it open.I pulled away, glaring at her.Hissing, she leaned back, drinking some of Ziah's water. "This isn't what you should be focused on. Grandma said keep your eye on the prize. But here you are, acting like simps. I'm most surprised that you're acting pussy-whipped, Kai.""Shut the fuck…""You're the serious one," she continued, ignoring me. "If it were Zeke or fuckboy Ziah, I wouldn't bat an eyelid."She was right. Vespa's presence made my skin prickle pleasur
Vespa Starving, fatigued, and utterly drained from the whole drama, I was relieved to be in the comfort of my room. Without wasting a second, I yanked off my boots, tossed my backpack on the bed, and flopped down on the single couch in the room. Ria, who was sitting at the desk and working on her laptop, looked up, her eyes roaming over me. "Something wrong? You look like a horse pissed on your leg." "Is there some Universe diety I need to bribe to cease these back-to-back calamities?" Ria's face turned serious. She shut her laptop, sprang up, and rushed to my side. "What's wrong?" "You don't want to know," I said, gulping some water. "My unwelcome lap dogs are driving me crazy." She frowned, trying to figure out what I was talking about, but when she understood, she burst into crazy laughter. "What's funny?" I glared at her. "Sorry, sorry. How so?" "Would you believe it if I told you that they continued with their charade, each of them trying to warm up to me but fighting e
Vespa There was a very thin line between love and hate, and this had been my case ever since Donovan dumped me. I thought I'd found 'the one,' when I met Donovan. I thought I loved him and could die without him. Now, all I felt was the need to throw up, cold indifference and the fires of hatred flare up inside me, so much that I felt like banging the door in his face hard and pounding his brain cells into a pudding. After the public humiliation, I was hurt and my heart fell apart, then I transitioned to existing on autopilot. Tonight, my eyes opened to his flaws. I must have been blinded by his dick to not notice that he wasn't even all that good looking. Seeing the pig in a new light showed all his imperfections. His stupid face bronzed by the sun looked like baby poo, his lips were too wide, his hair looked like it was styled by a child, and the veneers in his teeth looked so fake. "Look who you fucked for over twelve months," my inner thoughts mocked me. "You're tasteless."
