Scarlett's POVMy eyes fluttered and opened slowly, with my head aching as the sudden brightness of the room fell on my face. Someone just tapped me, waking me up from the deep sleep I must have drifted into. I rubbed my eyes to clear my vision, and right in front of me were those students who had been beaten by Dracula alongside me. They were both standing upright, staring down at me like I had grown two heads.I could only recognize the girl who I knew after the proprietor introduced her to the school as a special student, all because she had the Lycan King token of friendship or whatever it was. Slowly, with an uncontrollable yawn, I sat up and glanced around to see where I was, and just like I guessed, it was the school hospital.That was where I landed after being dealt with by the Lycan prince. The same man I was crushing on and feeling jealous of because he only had interest in Ella. He almost killed me for marking Ella as a slave, and I just can't understand why he was sudde
Laura's POVI stood in front of the mirror, my eyes blazing with anger and frustration. My plan to destroy Ella had finally failed totally, with little of no hope left for me, and I was going crazy with rage.I had spent months plotting and scheming, gathering information, and setting my trap, but in the end, Ella had managed to escape all my clutches, and just this morning, after going missing for days, she had returned with her entire power unlocked.I had been so sure that my plan was foolproof, but I had underestimated my opponent, having so much patience instead of striking with full force.As I paced back and forth in my room, I muttered curses under my breath, my mind racing with thoughts of revenge and what exactly to do next. I couldn't believe that I had failed, that my carefully laid out plan had crumbled to dust.I had always been a wicked woman, full of envy and malice, and I had never cared who I hurt as long as I got what I wanted. But now, my obsession had consumed me,
As we both made our way to the inner chamber where the alpha was, my heart grew heavy and tears almost dropped out of my eyes. The choking smell of the demon was all over my head, and his presence was crawling my skin as it drifted my mind back to the past when my life was normal.Those moments when I was an innocent young girl with friends and family that loved and cared for me. I was beautiful, loved, and protected by my parents. I had dreams for my future. That amazing happily ever after that I read about in novels. It was what I envisioned my future to be like since my parents told me I wouldn't take over their place as spies since they could never watch their daughter live in fear just like them.All that was left was to find my mate. The man who would make my life a bed of roses and take me into that paradise of love and affection. I always think of it and won't stop imagining how great and heartwarming it would feel, but Alpha Darren crushed that dream.He broke me into pieces
"You heard me right." I shrugged, smirking at him."You can't kill me. I believe all that Ella said now, and once she returns, I am forcing you to go through the demon test. I just hope you aren't one, because only a miracle will save you from my wrath. I won't spare you if I find out you are the real demon in this pack!" He snarled menacingly as both of his fists were clenched tight and his eyes glazed over at me with venom and rage.I burst into mocking laughter and drew closer to him, my demon aura taking form around me and an outburst of dark powers spreading through my body. He noticed it and took a step back, furrowing his brows."Are you....""No, I am not a demon. I am definitely not a demon, because, as you have seen all my life with you, I have werewolf abilities and am normal like you all. My life should be a beautiful one of love and affection, but you, a wicked monster, shattered it all! Why did you destroy my innocent life?!"Tears were threatening to fall from my eyes a
"Where are we going to, now?" I asked in a chirpy tone, beaming uncontrollably as we trod through the forest, moving under a force that hid us from being seen by others."To the demon cave," he responded without looking at me; his focus was on his path as he hastened up."So I won't be staying in this pack anymore? I am leaving already?" I furrowed my brows, waiting for a quick answer. He took a deep breath and glanced at me briefly before turning his gaze back to the path."I don't know. I really don't know. The demon king wants to see you. He is running out of patience.""What?!" I gasped, thinking I was in danger, but what he said next left me stunned and dumbstruck."I think he misses you. He can't wait any longer." My jaw dropped as his words rang in my head repeatedly, sending some kind of chill down my spine. Or was I overthinking something else?"Hey, he misses me? How, please? Am I in danger?" I questioned, my voice slightly above a whisper as I held his hand in fear."Just
Ella's POV.I came back from school late because I was trying to convince Dracula to forgive Randy and his sister, including Scarlett. I needed peace in my life and wanted to have a life where everyone lived in love amongst themselves.It was clear they had hurt me in different ways and I had all the powers to make them pay dearly, but my heart wouldn't let that. I wasn't a wicked girl, and my heart softens at every drop of tears from anyone. I knew I shouldn't use my powers on my family, which were werewolves, nor should I allow my mate to do so. Yes, no matter what they had done, it didn't change the fact that they were my family. The only ones I have. I shouldn't be their oppressor. Instead, I was to be their guardian, who would save them from the demons attack and restore peace and harmony to our world.This was the reason I made peace with everyone, including all my classmates who had bullied me. Even the seniors were all on their knees with the teachers after they learned of wh
Ella's POV It took just a few seconds later before the sad news of my father's death spread around the whole pack like wildfire, causing an outburst of outcry. Everyone was mourning and wailing in agony and anguish, hearing of their leader's death.The death of the Alpha was a huge blow to everyone, and it really turned the entire pack into a mourning land, as I could clearly hear their sorrowful weeping through every wall in this building and the distant cries of the pack members. It was only a big shock to me. Seeing my father dead really hit me in the heart.I was pained and felt a huge sense of pity for him, but no matter how hard I tried to force it, I couldn't make any sound of cry. My lips were clamped, and only a few tears could drop after so many attempts.Alpha Darren could be ranked as the most powerful Alpha of our century, as he has special strengths and abilities beyond those of other Alphas of his type. He had fought a lot of wars, which he never lost, and conquered a
But I was ready to forgive and forget, to push away the past and take them back as my family and friends. Maybe it was the will of the moon goddess that my father dies so I can take over the throne. It hurts so much to see him dead at this time when my life was about to get better.He was the actual person I wanted to see me become great and powerful. After so many years of him hating on me and blaming me for his mate's death, I was glad it was all coming to an end, and I was going to prove to him that I wasn't a demon, but unfortunately that chance never came.He died with that resentment for me in his heart. I was still his rejected daughter, whom he has bitterness for.Soon enough, the investigation team came. The death of the alpha was something no one in the entire pack would joke about. It was a sacrilege for anyone to take the life of the alpha, and all the warriors and hunters in the pack won't rest till they kill the murderer, no matter who it was.I was so sure it was Laura,
