Janice gulped as she stared at Annalise once more. She shook her head, not believing she was in front of her.Walking towards her, she gripped her hand. A gasp escaped her lips as she felt how warm it was to her touch. She was real.Even though Janice didn't need the affirmation as she had pinched herself and felt the pain. She still did it because it was surprising to see her.Annalise was her twin sister. They both lived with their father until she left.Annalise being in The De Luca's household didn't make her happy.Instead, Janice was furious. She let out a frustrated sigh and glared."What are you doing here? You should be with father!"Janice's plan would get foiled. Annalise's presence would destabilise everything, and her secret would be known in no time.Annalise shook her head. Janice was in front of her. She had felt her hands. She was real.She had assumed Janice was dead due to the many stories their father had told her. Also, she had felt the twin bond between them seve
Sandro paced around the large meeting hall and balled his hands into fists. He gritted his teeth and glared at nothing in particular. How had he not noticed?He must have been too preoccupied with his problem to have thought of that.Allesia had escaped the same way as Arabella, and he wondered how no one saw her leave as well.He glared at the gathered Werewolves, and his eyes narrowed on Francis."Where the hell is Janice?"Francis stood to his feet abruptly. He shook his head and wrung his finger together. "I do not know." He stammered, avoiding the glare Sandro was shooting his way.Francis hadn't seen Janice since last night. And he assumed she was mad at him for having kissed her without permission.It wasn't his fault, he had wanted to do so, and he had used the opportunity."How the hell don't you know? Isn't she your girl?!" Sandro glared."She isn't my girl," Francis mumbled. Then he heaved a breath and glanced around as if she'd magically popped out.But she had also denied
"That's an interesting update, daughter dearest." Paolo grinned, stroking his moustache. "She'd be one of the pawns to us being the most influential and powerful people in this world.""Sandro weakens by the day, and we need to act fast. I do not think there's a cure at present for him. He often used some shot given by his Beta, but I doubted it is available now." Janice said. Paolo nodded. He stretched out his hand, and Janice reluctantly placed hers on his.He squeezed it gently before caressing it.Janice squirmed under his scrutiny. She attempted to yank her hand away, but he held on tighter.She grimaced as he continued to watch her, and that made her even more uncomfortable."What is it, my little lamb? Didn't you miss daddy?" Paolo raised his brow.Janice swallowed down the lump in her throat. And she yanked her hand away from his before standing to her feet."I came back to give you the information you needed. I think I fulfilled all that you asked of me. It's your turn to do
They were in a bottomless pit. That was Blaze's guess. He could see nothing, and there was no light even to know if they were in a sort of cave or not.The worse was his secondary vision didn't work. It was as if he was blind. It was frustrating, but he had Arabella with him. That he was grateful for, she was curved into him and even during the fall, she didn't let him go."What's that?" Arabella asked.Blaze frowned as he stared at Arabella, even though she couldn't see him and he couldn't see her.However, he was startled. She had been badly wounded, yet she was still conscious. What exactly was she?He had never seen a supernatural creature that could stay a long while after ingesting the poisons from the rogues.At least, not Arabella; that seems as though she was an amateur.Yet, he doubted she knew anything. She had opened the portal, and only someone that had been practising magic for a long time could have that much power."What do you mean?" Blaze asked."That bright light ov
Arabella writhed on the bed, and Blaze furrowed his brows. He rubbed at his tired eyes and watched her. She had been thrashing around for some minutes, and he had tried his best to shake her awake. It didn't work. Heck, nothing seems to be working!Blaze watched Arabella mutter helplessly while tightening his hold on her hand.Arabella let out a shrill cry. She yanked at the chain used to hold her down in several places, but it didn't give away."Blaze!" She yelled. However, nothing happened. He still lay sprawled on the floor and in his pool of blood.If she didn't act fast, he was going to die."He's meant to die."Arabella gazed around. She saw no one. She narrowed her eyes at the walls and yelled."Fucking show your face, coward. You enjoy seeing a helpless girl in pain and killing an innocent man?!""You call yourself helpless? Arabella Collins, or should I say the Delicate Rose!"Arabella shook her head. The latter wasn't her name. She didn't know who that was, but she had heard
Arabella let out a sigh for the umpteenth time. She had passed by the hundredth person, she believed; he had bowed to her, and so did the rest.She wondered what Orga had told them as they all stared at her in awe. Like she was, a kind of God that had come to redeem them. Or maybe they were all staring at her because she was the only one without a wing. And Blaze too. Yet, they didn't accord the same respect to Blaze.Perhaps, she should start getting used to it, seeing as Orga told her she was a powerful being but having hundreds of eyes looking at her as though she had suddenly sprouted a horn was unnerving.Orga halted in front of what seemed to be a large gallery. Different large portraits decorated the wall, and with each one Arabella passed, it felt as though it was alive.She shuddered as she licked her bottom lip. Her eyes darted around as she sensed eye movement on her, or maybe she was being paranoid.But then, she seemed to be the only one distracted. Blaze and Orga walked
Sandro let out a growl. He slapped his hands on the wall, and he narrowed his reddened eyes on Giuseppe. The latter backed away towards the door as Sandro neared him."What did you just say?!""I...I am quitting..." Giuseppe stuttered. His breath came out in short gasps.Sandro wasn't surprised. It often happened when the weakest member of a gang saw that too many crises were going on and they wouldn't be able to handle all the problems that come with it. Someone like Giuseppe, even if he didn't say he was quitting now, Sandro knew it was only a matter of time.And he loathed such people. People who run away at the littlest challenge."Do you remember the agreement you signed?" Sandro smiled wolfishly. "Tell me, Giuseppe, what was the rule on quitting?"Giuseppe shook his head, but no words came out of his mouth as he opened it to speak.Sandro whooshed towards him and snapped his neck. He tossed his limped body sideways and growled.He knew a day like this would come—a day where he h
A lot of things were wrong with today. Aside from Allesia and Janice's mysterious disappearance, Blaze was nowhere to be found.He had literally searched for him everywhere but couldn't seem to know where he had been to.Not even his Alpha to Beta mind link worked. It was as if he was sucked into a hole where a signal couldn't be gotten.The worst of it all was he was going to rage."This has the worst timing ever," Sandro growled, clutching his palpitating chest.He staggered towards the bags filled with blood he had taken from Allesia and tore it open, drinking from it.Sandro jerked and gritted his teeth as the blood seemed to quench his thirst momentarily. But that was all.It was as if the more he drank, the thirstier he was.He glared at the three blood bags he had emptied, but yet, he was still very much hungry.He clutched his stomach and gasped as he felt a twinge.The door opened, and he stared towards it. Thalia stood at the entrance."I couldn't reach him." She said.Sandr
