"Wow, you sounded really scary.." I couldn't hold back after hearing how Laura sounded. I understood that we all wished for Ella's death, but the way she put that threat would make everyone who heard it wonder, and I guess the alpha isn't left out either, as he squinted his eyes at Laura too."Yeah, I have never heard you with such a tone before. You sounded really scary." The alpha added in confusion shown on his face too.Laura gave us no reply and stomped away, her feet hitting the ground so hard that one would think the tiles would actually crack. She was literally puffing and huffing, with visible veins running through the sides of her neck and arms. The Alpha followed her immediately with a concerned look. One thing he couldn't stand was seeing his mate so upset and flustered. He was surely going to do everything possible to make her feel better again."You must be really happy now that you are slowly winning." I scoffed at Ella, who was squatting on the floor, and she raised h
My lips clamped shut as I was instantly paralyzed by the horrifying sight in front of me. I watched as black, pointed claws jutted from her fingers, and her skin appeared paler than usual while those bloody red eyes stared right into my soul.I found it hard to breathe as my heart kept hitting so hard inside my chest that I thought it was going to break out of my ribs. I couldn't believe my sight and wished it was a dream, but I knew so well that this was happening in reality and that it was possible that I was going to die now.I was petrified, and when I saw her walk closer, I knew it was the end of me. Laura was actually a demon, just as Ella had warned me, and now I guess it was too late to believe her. I just hope the alpha finds out earlier before she destroys this pack."Now you truly know who I am!" Her deep and scary voice echoed in my ears, shooting extra fright inside me as I nodded uncontrollably.I saw her let out a smirk before backing away from me. In a blink of an eye,
Three days have passed, and Laura hasn't said anything about Ella to me. She didn't come up with any plans and acted normally as always. I also acted calm, and while fear was brooding inside me every day, I still succeeded in bottling it all inside me and making sure no one, especially my father, knew what I was going through.Every night I lay in bed and close my eyes, only to be faced with nightmares of demons chasing after me. Each time, I would be sprinting through the forest and wood, gliding my way to escape, only to end up at the end of a cliff.They would all rush over to me with blood running through their mouths and spilling around the ground just like vampires, grunting and clawing at me dangerously.Only when they were about to devour me would I jump up from the bed with a sharp scream of horror, sweating profusely while my entire body wouldn't stop trembling all through that night. I couldn't sleep because of the nightmares, but I had to come out of my room and act as if e
"Your father and foster brother will be here soon. We will be heading to the Lycan Kingdom as a special guest of honor." My mother added, and I exhaled gleefully, turning over to the mirror hanging beside my bed.As I gazed at my elegant appearance staring back at me, I couldn't hold back the cheesy smiles that went all over my face. In my head, I could imagine the Lycan prince standing behind me with his strong arms wrapped around my waist while I felt his hot breath glazing my neck."So, we are now special guests to the great Lycan king." I giggled, biting my lower lips softly as I blinked my eyes seductively, admiring how stunningly beautiful I was.My life was something close to perfect as the Alpha's daughter because everything I wanted was delivered to me on a platter of gold. I never lacked anything, as my parents were ready to do everything possible to fulfill all my wishes. I was 17 when I first saw Dracula, the Lycan prince. On that day, I accompanied my mother to answer an
Ella's POVIt was the third day at school. Another day to sulk and cry bitterly inside my heart while forcing a calm expression from the outside. The students bully me with taunts and derisive comments, but my ears are deaf to their words of jealousy.It hurts me so badly that I was suffering over what will never be mine. My mate was a mere illusion that would fade away in a few weeks. The love of my life was the raging storm about to sweep me away. Each time he stepped into the classroom to teach, my heart would sink into my stomach, and every part of me would slide into chaos. He avoided me and wouldn't even spare me a glance, pulling a stern look and acting like I never existed. We both knew the terrible future—that sad end that would hit us like a hurricane. I was already the student's enemy because they thought I was capturing his heart after he gave me special treatment on some occasions. Scarlett doesn't talk to me anymore unless it's very important. She had suddenly kept h
"Me?? I make you complete when you are with me? How? When did it all begin? You never cared about me before, now? For three days after you told me about your curse, you didn't say anything else to me or act like I existed whenever you came to the class to teach." I whined, and he chuckled, still maintaining an intent stare at my lips as if he were searching for something in them."I was only torturing myself, thinking I could live without you," he mumbled, lowering his head a little before returning his gaze to me and sending those sweet smiles that made my eyes wet again.I glanced around, and everyone in the restaurant was peering at us as if we were some kind of aliens. I was sure they were still finding it hard to believe a slave like me was sitting with Dracula, or, rather, Jaden, the history teacher, as they all believed.It was also confusing to me because I didn't expect his love or affection. He was someone I was afraid to meet and dreaded his presence because I was expecting
His touch was magical, and the sensation was out of this world. I was just smiling wide as I stared at our hands clasped together like newlywed couples."Ask me anything, my love." He muttered, and my heart skipped a beat at the sound of him calling me his love. I felt more loved and protected than I had ever felt since I was born. All my past suffering and pain vanished from my memory, and I felt like a queen. The inborn royalty, which had been suppressed for years, returned.I could feel my aura and noble essences oozing through my skin and spreading around me. The smile that formed on Dracula's face at that moment made me realize he had felt it too."I hate everyone who hurt you, and with your permission, I will make them pay dearly for everything they did to you. Before then, I want to be open to you. There should be no secrets between us—just two lovers who know each other's hidden pasts and secrets. Not sure if I know how to love, but I am ready to learn so I can give you the be
Dracula's POV My heart was racing and hitting hard inside my chest as I made my way to the proprietor's office. I was almost running through the corridors, breathing shakily as I narrowed my eyes and racked my brain to figure out what could be in the letter.It could have been good news, bad news, or just a goodwill message to check in on me and wish me happiness, but my instinct wasn't on the good side. The more I tried forcing myself to believe it wouldn't be anything heartbreaking, the more I felt fear twisting up inside me.I was almost sweating while trying to maintain a calm breath, which was almost impossible."What could be wrong?" I mused and shivered while my wolf cuddled up inside me with his tail covering his face as he also trembled over the foreboding sensation spreading all over us.I couldn't tell where the problem would arise from or what it was, but I knew deep within me that this letter wasn't a good one.Finally, after what seemed like a hundred years, I was able
