"Really? What is going on?" I mused in surprise, watching him take his eyes away from me. I was wondering if I was dreaming, because this is far different from what vampires do to werewolves. Did he mean what he just said? That I should go away without any harm from a vicious vampire like him?Slowly, I stood up, staring intently at him in readiness to dodge any of his sudden attacks that I still believed would come. Vampires are very cunning and ruthless, and werewolves are one of those that they enjoy bullying with their special abilities. Even when I began to walk away, he didn't come for me, and he didn't even turn to glance at me. I don't know why I felt some kind of guilt for treating him like a monster when he meant no harm.But those are my silly thoughts. Vampires are evil, and the best thing for me to do now is leave this place as fast as I can."There she is!!!" A sudden voice burst loudly from a corner of the bush before I could dash off, and I quickly swirled to the corn
I stood there for some minutes, pondering what just happened with my eyes fixed on the exact spot he left from. I could still feel and hear the thumping of my heart, still accelerating real quick, as the image of his face was all that filled my mind like a dark cloud before rainfall.This was the first time I met a vampire, and it was still so hard to accept that he was one of them. Why was he tender to me? Why didn't he harm me or even allow anyone to hurt me? The young man literally saved me from being raped by those disgusting perverts.How possible is it that a vampire, our biggest enemy and rival, was the one who rescued me from my own people who tried to harm me. This is really ridiculous and doesn't seem real.The sun had set, and night was fast approaching. I mean, it was already dark, and if I don't get home in less than a minute, it is very likely that my absence will be noticed because once nightfalls, the next thing is to take me to the dungeon, where I will stay and await
I saved her from those rapists, but that doesn't mean anything close to love or anything related to that shit. It's what normal people do to protect girls from perverts who think they can have their way with them against their will."So what about those bodyguards you killed along with her so they wouldn't catch her? You were literally becoming her guardian angel all the way back." My vampire beast teased."I did that?""No, your ghost did." He laughed, and I grit my teeth, increasing my pace towards my room.I can't believe I really did all that. What came over me?"Jaden!" My mother came hugging me as she stepped out of the palace, meeting me in the sitting room just as I was about climbing up the stairs."We were worried." She added, pecking my cheek."No more worries." Can I go to my room now?""Not yet, son." My father cut in, walking out of the palace too.I sighed, facing him."Please, I'm tired and need to rest my head.""You have a visitor. They had been waiting since you we
We were three, including me and Jake, so we just had one spy join us this night. It wasn't an official spying day, but my father doesn't want to lose any chance of finding out how to successfully destroy his enemies, especially this particular pack.None of us knows why his hatred for them runs so deep in the core of his heart. The resentment reeks from both his eyes and voice each time he talks about them. I was sure they had done a really evil thing to him—something he would never forget and wouldn't rest till he saw their destruction. Anytime I ask him why his hatred for them goes way deeper than for other packs, he will only grit his teeth and tell me that some day I will find out. Honestly, I don't really care.Werewolves are our grave enemies, and that's all I know. We are born to hate them and hurt them at the slightest opportunity. It's forbidden to help or do anything good to any of them. Growing up in the royal packhouse and staying in the palace with my father gave me the
Selene's POV They had all gone to the royal hall as the time for the festival was fast approaching. I was on my bed waiting for my cruel fate then just as expected, my door burst open with four bodyguards stomping in to take me away to the dungeon when I would stay before the time for the torture."You should one day die in your sleep, bitch!" One of them snorted in resentment thinking I was sleeping as they used slap to jolt me up."Why are you putting on that hoody jacket? Cold?" Another sneered, and my heart skipped a beat at how their eyes stared down at me in suspicion."I can wear whatever I want. Can't I?" I seethed and was smacked in the face by one of them. I expected that. No one wants to hear me speak up for myself. I should always stay timid and receive every lash like the puppet they wanted me to be.My life sucks."I pray you die today after the torture." His voice was like ringing bells in my ears, and I was a bit hazy from that smack across my face. All I could do wa
I scrubbed my eyes, shaking my head and staring intently at the body being dragged with each arm by the two bodyguards. Thick red blood was smearing in a straight line as her body trudged along the floor over to the front of the cage, where I was.Her face and entire was bloody with deep cuts and stabs, but I could clearly recognize her as Joy, the girl who just left here after bringing food for me.They dropped her motionless body on the floor and unlocked the key of the cage before flinging her inside before locking the gate back, leaving me with Joy, who seemed to have been tortured and wounded so severely. Every part of her body, from head to toe, was bleeding, and her breath was shallow, forced, and hitched at intervals.She was dying."Joy!!" I shrieked, taking her into my arms and trying to wake her up, but the young girl doesn't seem like one to survive it anymore. Her eyes were closed, and apart from her heart, which was thumping, no other part of her was in motion. They had
My heart wasn't beating normally after telling Jake I would kill her. Like screams in my head, I was hearing the lies in what I said and I really knew I was bluffing. It can't be love, but I was so sure I won't be able to hurt her or see anyone harm her.I just hope Jake doesn't insist because I would definitely disappoint him. And if he tries doing it on his own, then that's where our first problem would begin because he might just end up going down before her.Don't remind me. I know I'm being stupid saying this as a vampire prince I was.. Jake didn't say anything, though. He just smiled and looked away, facing the window, while I maintained a stern expression."We are here." The man driving announced at that moment, and we both jumped out of the cart. It's time to cross the boundary and head in!We both smiled at each other, and in a snap, we all switched to our vampire beastly senses and abilities, and like the lightning in the sky, we bolted through the enomous trees and mounta
"That girl had stayed longer than any werewolf survival limit. I think they want her dead this time. She will only stay alive for two hours after being brought out before giving up the ghost. I just don't understand why they blame her for what you did. Do they suspect her to have vampire powers?" Jake's voice rang in my head like a bell, sending cold shivers down my spine as goosebumps spread through my skin."Are you sure she isn't the girl you saved? You seemed so concerned. Like, it's written all over your face." Jake added, his brows creasing in curiosity.I ignored him totally, my eyes fixed at the stage where everyone, including the Alpha, was totally absentminded already, forgetting that someone was inside that box. The Luna was the only one that kept glancing at it with a secret smirk playing on her lips as she made sure to keep the Alpha busy with her chitchat and continuous drinking. It was after the scream that they all turned in shock, realizing that they had kept someone
