THE SITUATION Andy's PovI didn’t think Natalie understood the gravity of the situation she was in. I lied when I told Grady I felt fine. It didn’t matter. She already knew. In truth, I felt very, very off.I laid flat on my back on the bed and stared at the ceiling. I’d had a pounding headache for days. It felt like my Wolf was…somewhere. He didn’t just quit after my fuck-up, like he normally would. I still didn’t understand how the two sides of me worked together, but it wasn’t like this. He’d never done this. I could feel him clawing and fighting and snapping his jaws relentlessly in the back of my mind.The vampire who killed Wes bit me first. I acted purely on instinct. Self-defense. I couldn’t stop. I didn’t like how that side of me felt. It felt evil. That side of me was demonic.Still, I’d never regretted f*****g up before. It was just that—a fuck-up. My Wolf was always angry when he came to, but what did it matter?This time, I definitely regretted it. I never wanted to see
THE FEELINGSOliver's povIt's really weird. So weird how I can't keep my emotions at bars and I found myself getting closer to her instead of distancing myself- like I promised her. Moreover, not all promises are meant to be kept though.Especially when it comes to Madonna. Day by day, we became more closer than I could have imagine and the feeling is really out of this world- not to be compared.I could feel her looking at me, trying to memorize my face. I saw her look at my eyes, my lips, and I could even feel her hands that could not even reach around my neck brush my chest. My wolf kept purring, and I’m sure she could feel the vibration in my chest.When she would notice I was looking at her, she would blush and turn away, only to find me grinning like a f*****g idiot.I could hear the whispers around the dance floor, mentioning they have never seen me smile. Many were smiling, happy that the protector of their homes was finally finding his happiness, or maybe it was a relief tha
ASHAMED Unknown's Pov As he held my hand, I stiffened and didn't look at him.He was right. I was avoiding my brother because I was...Terrified. Ashamed. Guilty.Yes, all of that.I had been thinking about this all this time. While I couldn't hold myself whenever I was near him, while I kept dragging into his charms, I kept betraying Kelly. I felt like I would end up shattering their friendship which I didn't want to.Even he was betraying him."We should stop doing this," I said, my voice was weak but I managed to speak."Stop doing what?" He asked, raising a brow."Screwing around each other. It will hurt Kelly!" I said as I looked at him. I was scared to hurt my brother.He looked at me for a moment and his grip tightened on my arm. Even if I tried to run away, I knew I couldn't. He wanted answers so there it was. I gave him what was in my mind. Why was I avoiding Kelly's calls."Or, you are scared to find out what you truly desire..." He raised a brow as he took a step forward,
NIKON WORKERSThird person's povGetting through the passage was easy... in fact it had been suspiciously too easy.Stepping out finally at the other side of the passage door, which was a small circular brick space on one of the sides of the high walls of the usually highly guarded Castle, Zezi was left stunned to see that George had been really accurate about the ritual that was going on.She hadn't expected this degree of accuracy.The streets were filled with vampires in different robes, mostly red, roaming about. George was quick to pull his family into the crowd and maneuver their way down to the cave with a speed of absolute urgency, which Zezi matched without a second thought.Her heart was racing, almost like it would burst out of her chest at any moment and explode on the floor.What if her absence had been noticed? What if the vampire doctor had come for his regular check up of her and realized that they had gone missing? What if he had told the King? What if the King was c
WOUNDED Magdalene's povAwaiting Geneva, we made no move yet. He should get here pretty well and let's get this all started. Not like am loosing my patience already but checking my wristwatch occasionally kept telling me we are wasting the time which isn't even our side. Running my fingers through my hair, thereafter I crossed my arms over my chest.The moment I saw Geneva joined us, I was both relieved and petrified. If he never left, it meant that he heard the entire conversation, which also meant he heard me call him my mate. I hadn’t brought that idea up to him out of fear. I didn’t know if vampires had the equivalent of a mate, and I was afraid of scaring him away.I studied his face, trying to figure out what was going on in his head. The fact that he was here was a good sign, but it didn’t make the situation any less embarrassing. Geneva's eyes met mine, and I could feel my face burning. I quickly turned to Xavier and tried to focus on him instead.“You never left,” Xavier sa
UNFORSEEN DANGERFreya's povI happened to be Nikon'a younger sister and that was none other than my worst fate. It made my life a living hell more than I could ever think. Now seemed like a particularly good time for that. Aric watched me with an expectant curiosity as if my behavior was completely normal and not weird at all. Now seemed like a particularly good time for that. Aric watched me with an expectant curiosity as if my behavior was completely normal and not weird at all.He didn't say anything more as he casually watched me make my bed to my liking. When I was finally satisfied, I stilled, flicking my gaze up to his as a sickening realization came over me.My mouth felt dry and I drew in a very shaky breath. I was nesting, something that omegas instinctually did in preparation for estrous. I wasn't ready to accept what that might mean.I didn't even want to think about it. Alphas didn't nest. That couldn't be happening to me. It wasn't possible.He still looked at me like
NIKON That single sentence caused the lively atmosphere to die down immediately, a tension rising in the air.I then continued staring right at Nikon as if nothing had happened.As the seconds ticked by, the more I couldn't see his expression the tighter my grip on the pregnancy scans grew.I even began doubting myself, whether I had been too impulsive. Why did I think I had what it took to crash their wedding?Maybe they'll throw me out and their wedding will continue on.Heck, if things took a turn for the worse, my child might not even be safe.A security guard had rushed over while I was lost in thought, about to grab me when Nikon ordered, "Stop."He had walked right up to me when I was deep in thought. He took the scans from my hand and glanced through it before looking at my belly again. His expression grew stormy."Just about starting your third trimester. Good on you, Sara,"His tone was cold, angry, and sarcastic all at once.I stopped myself from reacting, but before I co
- THE PACK'S SLUT Mariana~The door was still shut the exact way I had left it in the morning. '' Xavier isn't back yet? What is wrong, is he safe?'' I was getting starting to get pretty worried and upset already. '' Why on earth he wasn't back home by this time?'' I said to myself, for heaven's sake it is 6 pm already!Then, I inserted the key into the door with furious shaking hands. Unlocking it, the house still feels normal like I had left it in the morning, Xavier didn't even show up the whole day?. I barged in the room throwing the keys to the angrily, without caring it it will get missing or not.I took off my clothes, grabbed my towel from the closet, then I wrapped the white towel around my chest and stormed into the bathroom to clear off my thought.'' Xavier__ where are you for God's sake'' I moaned his name, pouring water on my head to make me imagine clearly. I think I was going insane for not seeing him for the whole day, the f**k as he gone to?. '' How could he do this
