Delaney's POV ~
It's been two days since we arrived at Valleys, with no sign of the ‘Heat’. Everything has been calm. Extremely calm, which doesn't sit well with me. I feel as though something has changed in valleys since the last time I came here. A feeling that something is wrong somewhere. Just like the calm before the storm? That's precisely how I feel now. Something is about to happen, something big. But, what? What is going to happen? Am I the only one sensing this?
I glanced down at Rakel who sat in the living room discussing with some of his pack members and sighed. Knox has gone out to attend a meeting with his fellow vampires. Though they said nothing to me, I know they've been busy these days. I had inadvertently put them in a tight spot by forcing Knox to bring Rakel here. If the news gets out, it will dissatisfy the vampires with the werewolves in their kingdom. Knox had to teleport Rakel and his pack members to his mansion to avoid the p
Does this mean my parents cause the rift between the werewolves and the vampires? But they were only two people in love who weren't concerned about their identity. What was wrong with that? Do they think that dad really killed mom? She died of childbirth. I… I killed my mother. Tears filled my eyes instantly the moment I realized this. I haven't finished digesting this news when someone broke the shower door. I jumped out of the bathtub in surprise. Rakel stood at the door, his eyes running over my body and then the bathroom. “Are you okay? I've been knocking.” “I…” How do I tell him I'm the product of the very thing they hated the most? What will they do if they find out what I am? In other to hide my fear from Rakel, I distracted him by picking a towel from the rack and using it to cover my body. His eyes followed my movement, but he didn't step into the bathroom. We both stood there silently, watching each other. Right at that time, a familiar feeling started in my tumm
"Earth to Laney! Geez, what are you thinking about?" Cassie yelled.I jumped in surprise, picked up my drink, and took a sip, "What? Did you say something?"She rolled her eyes, "Ugh of course I did, would I be talking to myself?"I laughed, "Sorry about that, I just... I just got carried away. What were you saying?"She huffed, "I said, there'll be a party tonight, and guess what? All those hot guys, the D-brothers will be there, what do you say? You'll be coming, right?""Ugh, Cass..." I started, but she cut me off."Don't Cass me, you're almost twenty-one, and you don't even have a boyfriend? Who knows if you still have your V-card intact, that will be a shame to me."I sighed, "You know I'm not interested, Cassie.""You will be, and you're coming with me tonight, come on, let's go check out your wardrobe and see what you have," she said, dragging me back to my room.I groaned"Cass!"She raided through my wardrobe huffing at what she's seeing there "Geez! Why would you have such clo
Devin took off his shirt after she left, throwing it in the trash. He couldn't help but smile happily, after searching for a long time, he has finally found something interesting. His boss is really going to like her. Without wasting time, he took out his phone to call him immediately. He picks up on the third ring. "You'll die if this isn't reasonable," he said. Devin gulps"No boss, it's reasonable! I think you'll like it, no love it." There was a slight pause, then"Capture her at once, do not touch her in any way or make any mistakes, or you'll regret it." "Yes, Boss." Their work is to search for females around the world, send them to their boss while he sells them to different werewolf packs. Devin and his brothers love this job because they get to play with some females before handing them to their boss. This time around, their boss gave them a special task, he wants them to find a feisty woman.
Hours later, the effect of the drugs finally wore off. I could finally move my body. I sat upright holding my tummy because I felt like using the bathroom. Furthermore, I couldn't hold in the pee anymore. I glanced around the room, wondering where the bathroom was and two doors. One of them must be the bathroom. I was about to come down from the huge bed when I heard footsteps. Shit! I quickly lied down just in time for the door to open. Stilling my breath, I heard humming again and then"Get up, dear, I know you're awake." I mentally widened my eyes. What? How do you know that? "Quickly, get up. We need to get you ready." My eyes opened, I sat up to see the woman, she should be in her late forties or so. "How do you know I'm awake?" I watched as she brought out some clothes and dropped them on the bed. "I know a thing or two about the human body." My eyes popped out at that." Human? Are yo
Seeing him walk in, I moved far away from him with my heart beating hard against my chest. He didn't say anything, his cold eyes watched my every movement. "W-who are you?" I asked, trying to put on a brave face even though my legs were trembling. He cocked his head to the side, but I was sure he didn't deign to retort. "Take off your clothes and get on the bed," he said coldly, his dark eyes watching me like prey. My heart skipped"What? Why should I do that?" I unconsciously moved further away from him. Hearing this, his eyes flashed in surprise, as if no one has ever questioned him before." Don't make me repeat myself, do as I say and strip." I raised her head haughtily, "No!" He cocked his head to the side and then in a blink of an eye, he appeared in front of me. I gasp fearfully. The hell!! How do they keep doing that? No one has ever moved that fast e
KNOX'S POV The ball was already in full swing when I arrived. Everyone stopped partying and bowed. Yes, you could say I'm the Alpha king here. For an unknown reason, I scanned the hall looking for her. Delaney. I felt slightly disappointed that she isn't here yet. There is something about her that seems different from other humans, I just don't know what that is. I strode over to my seat, once I'm seated, the party began again. Female humans danced while male vampires watched and drink. Today is all about choosing, every year, vampires gather here to choose humans and use them as concubines. The concubines are to satisfy the vampire's needs, either sexually or offer their blood to us. There is always a rule, though... the vampires are to treat them with care for a year. After a year, the human will choose between becoming one of us, or they die. You might think it's vile and awful, but
Cassie stayed in between the guys, loving every second as they touched her. "You're so beautiful, darling," the man with blue eyes said, grabbing her ass. She moans softly. This is like a dream come true for her! She's sure all the girls in the club are glaring daggers at her. Rumors said that the D– brothers never talk to anyone whenever they show up in this club, only drink and leave. Never once have they been seen with any girl, some began to wonder if they're gay but clearly, they're not. Because they're all over her, touching her. Laney needs to see this, Cassie hopes she's also getting some, ha! Suddenly, their hands froze on her skin. She frowns, "What happened?" "Sorry, sweetheart, we need to go." "What? Why?" They already left before she could question them. She pursed her lips, "Ahh why did this happen? I already had them in my arms." With a sigh, she deci
~ DELANEY's POV ~ Knowing he can read my mind, I tried my best not to think of anything and stared at him. "Hmph, I guess you have so, I want you to show me." Show him? How will I do that? He gave me a toothy grin exposing his fangs which means he read my mind. "It's easy darling, you pick the one you're comfortable in using, then show me how you did it." I raised my chin, "What happens if I don't do it?" "What happens?" His icy gray eyes went to my neck, sending chills down my spine. I understood what that meant, he'll bite me and suck my blood. I shook my head fiercely, "You wouldn't do that" He slowly stood up and stalk towards me, "Lesson one, never threaten a vampire, it sends a thrill into us that'll make them want to fulfill It at all costs." He stopped a few feet away from me before speaking, "And trust me when I say I love the threats." "W–What's yo
