Chapter 22
JULIAN
I slammed the book that I had been going through shut. Tracking was something I enjoyed. It was the thrill of the hunt that had my spirits rising. The way I used my senses and abilities to track down my prey was what made the endeavor somewhat fun. My tracking abilities were what made this curse of a life barrable.
This, sitting in front of achieves that was almost as old as time, bored me. However, I had to do my research to track down the witches of the past to track down their descendants. It was a tedious task so I was thankful for the help I was receiving from the current rogue Alpha.
Whenever I thought of Victor, I was reminded that I had practically forced Lilith to be a part of his pack. After finding out the whole truth about what had happened to her, I realized I may have overstepped the line by doing that. Victor may not have been like Huxley. He may have had compassion, he may possess th

LILITH "You killed them?" I hissed, watching Julian's movements cautiously as he moved toward his desk with a crazed look sparkling in his eyes. "They challenged me," he shrugged, lowering himself into his seat in such a graceful manner that it made me wonder how he was such a brute within, "I gave them the chance to leave but they chose to challenge me. If I let them walk free after that, then I would be the weak one and the little respect that my kind does show me will not matter anymore. I'd have a civil war on my hands, one that I do not need at the moment. Making an example of them was necessary. I cannot have someone trying to dethrone me." "No one can dethrone you," I grimaced, folding my arms and propping all my weight onto one foot, "you're literally the chosen one." Julian ran his tongue over his top row of teeth, something I found him doing often, "And so are you," he finall

JULIAN "You're not okay," I seethed at the other end of my bedroom door. Lilith had locked me out. It had been fifteen hours, forty minutes, and twenty-six seconds since I was foolish enough to give in to my carnal desires by biting her. Every second that passed had my unbeating heart twisting in agony. The scent of death hung in the air, suffocating me. It hung around her. But the taste of her blood lingered at the very tip of my tongue. She wasn't like the half-blood. Lilith may have been a full-blooded werewolf but her blood tasted as sweet as her scent that sang to me. It was thick yet velvety, flowing down my throat like something completely forbidden and sinful. "I'm fine," she called, voice cutting through my thoughts. My lips peeled back into a snarl because she was lying to me. I could hear the pained whimpers and that smell. She honestly ex

JULIANI paced the length of the room in a frenzy I had never in my days of living thought I would find myself in. If I had a soul I would be able to feel it being ripped apart piece by piece as I watched Lilith thrash on the bed. She was well and truly past the point of no return — if there ever was on. Her skin was as hard as stone, the ropes tying her to the posts of the bed not even rubbing her skin raw."I've enchanted the ropes, she's not going to get loose," Penelope voiced, still seated in the chair, only, now she was playing with balls of fire, juggling them with graceful ease."That's not where my concern lies," I snapped, cringing into myself slightly when Lilith's guttural growl had the windows of my apartment vibrating with hunger-induced fury."Oh, I know," Penelope's lips curved into a sadistic smile and I knew she was getting off on this, "it must pain you to see her

LILITHI ran my tongue over my top row of teeth — more precisely, my gums. They felt different. There was a little bump above my canines which flattened whenever my fangs snapped out.I fucking had fangs!It was all still so surreal to me. I felt alone in my head for once, no beast yipping and pining for Julian. All the pining was purely coming from me this time around and I may not have been sharing my mind with a beast within me anymore, but it did feel as if my mind had grown. It was somehow larger, so large that it allowed me to concentrate on many things at once.I didn't enjoy the flames licking the back of my throat. It should have disgusted me that I had consumed so many bags of human blood but it didn't. In fact, I craved to have more of it. The little voice in my head reminding me how repulsive blood should have been to me was well and truly smothered by my insatiable thirs

LILITHIt had barely been forty-eight hours of me being a vampire — I still couldn't wrap my head around it — and suddenly I was thrust into the human world full force with barely any training. Then again, what vampire went through training before going out into the human world? That was a point I steadily kept in mind when I stepped into the crowded airport and then into a stuffy plane with no exists and hundreds of warm body's ready for the picking.Every person's blood held individuality. There were some I didn't care for because of the tainted scent of alcohol and drugs in their system. The ones with pure blood —with nothing but warm, crimson, sticky liquid sloshing through their veins — they were my weakness. I was in a frenzy, one that had me jittery for someone who could now remain as still as stone. My eyes darted around the plane, planning and plotting a trillion ways to sink my new fangs i

LILITH "You're taking advantage of me," Thorne griped, flicking his finger to send a flame of Hellfire down on the corpse Julian had lugged all the to to the edge of the Midnight Sun territory. "What's the point of having a Hellhound if we don't put him to good use," Julian watched the orange and blue flames turn the body into dust within seconds, not a single emotion flashing in his eyes. He had built his walls up again, leaving his face a blank, serene surface that no one could read. Not even me! "This is not what I'm meant to be used for," Thorne snarled but I sensed that he didn't really mind doing us this favor, he just didn't want to make this a recurring theme. "I know but I have more pressing matters to deal with so you taking care of this gave me one less thing to stress about," Julian tucked me under his arm, that malice grin I had seen him use during the hu

JULIANI watched Quade and Sydney — more specifically, Quade — intently. Neither expected to have Victor in their home so soon and I was certain Victor hadn't anticipated being here either. It wasn't as awkward as I expected it would be. After hearing what the witch had to say, everyone was on high alert. Petty issues like awkwardness between the werewolves had no place right now. We needed to find a way to track down this Fae so we could put an end to our problem."Do we trust what Witchy said?" Lilith voiced the question I knew troubled everyone that remained in the room.One of the helpers in the house had led Penelope to a room so she could get some rest and Victor had gone along to make sure she was okay. Also, just to make sure that she wouldn't find a way to escape. He was not only a bodyguard but just a guard in general. Being watchful over the witch came naturally to him.
His Warm-Blooded Mate Chapter 30
LILITH We were waiting for dusk since Julian and I couldn't leave the castle until the sun dipped below the treeline. Before, I remained inside during the day by choice, this was the first time I had been confined within four walls out of necessity. I couldn't even open the curtains and admire the castle grounds or the way the children giggled and played in the courtyard. Alpha Quade may have been a dick when I first met him but I was learning that he had his layers — one of them involved him actually being a great alpha to his pack. It made me wonder what my pack was like, what my alpha was like. I was too young to remember most of it but I clearly remembered the unity and bond of family that we had flourished in. But then I was cast into the shadows and forced to live my life as a rogue. I grew to love the solace that I found in silence and I did what I had to do to survive. One could almost say that I was training fro
