Nadia scurried down a narrow flight of stairs, leading into the dimly illuminated bowels of the college. Dust motes danced in the single, blinking overhead bulb that did nothing but loom creepy shadows on the walls.Nadia practically dragged me down the creaky, cobweb-draped stairs leading to the school’s basement. My senses were already on high alert. Why in grief’s name were we heading to the school’s basement?Bruh, this was my first day at school!Luna, of course, was having a meltdown in my head. "Are you crazy, Nimue? Down here? It's the basement! Basements are for creepy crawlies and forgotten gym socks, not following weird vampires!"I was already fretting, really and Luna was just making matters worse!Umbra silenced her with a dry, "She's a vampire, Luna, not a sewer monster. Besides, she can't exactly drag Nimue to the rooftop for a heart-to-heart."Ignoring their bickering, I called after Nadia, "Hey, where are we going? This place gives me the heebie-jeebies!"She finall
As we made our way back up the creaky stairs, Nadia cleared her throat hesitantly. "So, uh, Nimue?" she began, kicking a pebble down the steps."Yeah?""Do you think… we could be friends?" she blurted out in a rush, her cheeks flushing pink.I blinked, surprised by the question. "Why wouldn't we be?"Sure, Nadia seemed a little… quirky, but she was definitely more interesting than the human and other girls who spent their lunch breaks giggling over boys and makeup.Nadia bit her lip. "Well, you see, it's not exactly easy being me. No one really wants to hang out with the school loser, you know?""Loser?" I scoffed. "You're not a loser, Nadia. You're a psychic vampire with a secret stash of forbidden chocolate, what's not to love?"Nadia giggled, a hand over her mouth. "Forbidden chocolate? That's a good way to put it." Her smile faltered again. "Besides, my parents are super strict about who I hang out with. No vampires allowed, apparently because most of the vampires in th
Kieran~~I loved the look on her face when she saw my dick. Ah – I’d give anything to witness that look again. The way her confidence withered like a dead rose just when she met with the sight of my benevolent come monster.Aha! Arrogance had no place here, especially not after barging into my room.Such were the punishments befitting of erring little girls just like her. What guts she had to barge into my room unannounced. And why? Because she wanted to expose me and Lucille?Tch. She probably didn't know me. If she did, she would have feared me more. I was Kieran. The game master. No one could beat me at my game. There were so many things a lot of people would never find out about me - one of them was how fake my relationship with Lucille was.With Lucille’s mouth that was faster in transmitting gossip, the internet didn't come close, everyone was convinced that they were mates. It would be so much fun dumping the idiot when he found his real mate. Well, whoever his real mate was,
The satisfying ‘whomp’ of my fist connecting with Jin's jaw boomed through the hallway like a thunderclap announcing the arrival of a comedic genius. The smug smirk he usually wore evaporated faster than a snowflake in a sauna. On his face was now a comical look of surprise that could launch a thousand memes. Only Keiran was capable of wiping the smugness away from people like that. I should be given an Oscar or something, bruh."Woah there, big guy," Jin mumbled, gingerly touching his jaw with the grace of a newborn giraffe learning to walk. "What the heck was that for?""That is for trespassing," I declared, rolling up my sleeve because I’d be damned if I didn't fight him today.It was all I had been yearning for. To punch some senses into his brain and show him why I was the Lycan. "That is what you get for fraternizing with the enemy. Don't forget, Lucille's my mate, and you, my dear Jin, were about to commit a very serious act of smooching."I could hear the stupid Nimue gaspin
We slunk behind Chancellor Howlerton, the cheers, and jeers turning into silent whispers as the crowd parted for us like the Red Sea parting for a particularly grumpy Moses. Inside his wood-paneled office, the Chancellor launched into a lecture that would have made even Shakespeare himself bow, complete with enough growls that I found so annoying.I was the Alpha’s son and had no business being here!"You two are the Alpha son and Beta respectively!" he roared, his voice echoing off the stacks of detention slips lining the wall. "This kind of behavior is unbecoming! Do you have any idea what the vampires will think? Do you want them to call in the exterminators again, claiming there's a rogue… uh… badger problem on campus?"Jin, as the model student - or at least the model student who didn't get caught setting off stink bombs in the cafeteria, simply nodded in agreement with his face carefully schooled into an expression of remorse. Yeah, that was typical of him. To act like he was
“The idea of having a step-brother irks me out. I swear, I'll hate Mum after this!” The rust eaten car door groaned as I slammed it shut. It made such a stupid jarring sound that only reminded me of the agitation boiling up to a point inside of me. The Alpha’s mansion stood before me with its dark stones shading the weak afternoon sun. It wasn't welcoming. It was more like a fortress guarding some unknown treasure. And like hell, I hated it! I could not wait to rat both of my wolf’s ears out once we were alone. This wasn't Ravenwood Pack– my home. Nah, this was a place that reeked of cold power and city nonsense. "This is insane, Mom," I grumbled, throwing my hands in the air. "Why do you have to take this Luna position? We were perfectly happy back in Ravenwood." My mom turned to me with pleading eyes. "Honey, this isn't just a position. It's an honor being chosen as Luna by the Alpha Council." "Honor?" I scoffed. "More like a cage I am being forced into. Ravenwood is goo
I walked through that epic door and my jaw literally hit the floor. This mansion wasn't just big, it was on another level. Everything was straight-up fire. The foyer was like, SO extra. Polished marble floors reflecting light from this epic chandelier that looked like it belonged in a museum. And then there's this staircase curving upwards. The hallway at the top just vanished into the distance. This wasn't just a house, this was a whole freaking palace! My gaze darted around, searching for my obnoxious ‘brother’ from earlier, but instead landed on a group of men standing amidst the grandeur. One was a tall and imposing figure with a mutton chops beard. He radiated an aura of power that instantly screamed ‘Alpha’. This had to be him, the one my mother had shown me countless pictures of – Alpha Viktor. Behind him stood what appeared to be a guard detail – men clad in black with forbearing expressions. And then, there was him… … standing closest to the Alpha was a man who tru
A month and a half later, Jin stood in front of me, his hands, clothes, and face dripping with fresh blood while the human boy from lay lifeless behind him. “Done, Nimue. I told you there's nothing I can not do for you. All you have to do is ask.” A maleficent grin broke across his face. No, I did not ask for this. I never wanted for him to kill him. I just said I needed his help, not this. I gulped, shuddering with fear that went down to my bones, wondering what the Alpha council would make do with this if they found out. I was sent to this hellish school because of a trivial scandal. Now that I – we had blood on our hands, what would become of our fate when they found out? I was not allowed to brood further when Jin sped toward me. His blood-stained hands pulled down my sleeve over as he lowered his neck to face me. “It's almost time for your transformation. I can not wait for it and fuck you in your asshole while you scream my name into the night.” He whispered, his bre
