ELENAThe night stretched by and the event was now in full swing. I got to meet almost every aristocratic family present in West Vale. Also, I knew some already from the parties I often frequent in East Vale. Moreover, my family was not left out of this meeting. My father and stepbrother were quite happy to see me whilst my step sisters and mom were as neutral as ever. They pretended I didn't exist which I didn't mind because it had been that way ever since I knew them.Everything was going fine until someone bumped into me. I stumbled and gripped a pillar closed by to stop my fall for the second time tonight. I shivered at the coolness of the body and I stared at his retreating figure.“S.O.B," I mumbled under my breath.My breath hitched as I saw him halted in his tracks. Perhaps, he was another werewolf or Vampire- those were the two supernatural beings that I knew could hear thoughts or read minds.I emitted a disappointed sigh as he didn't turn, rather he continued walking toward

Aiden“Get a hold of yourself Sparkles, and stop blaming Elena for this because she did nothing wrong. Ever since she came into this house, I don't know the reason you loathe her so much." I chided, staring at an enraged Sparkles who looked as though she would rip Elena's head off if she was here.”She caused this!” Her first clenched as she yammered.“She didn't!” I thundered. I pinched the bridge of my nose as I tried to calm my nerves.“Before this, ” I stated calmly, my eyes still on her. “You've always been mad at her. I saw the stunt you pulled on her at the founder's ball, I decided to let it slide. This is so unlike you and you need to apologize to her.”Sparkles jutted her chin out, a pair of aquamarine orbs fixated on mine defiantly and she gritted her teeth, “I'll rather pummel her pretty face than apologize.”I let out a deep breath whilst shaking my head at her hardheadedness. I knew it wasn't going to be this easy to get her to apologize. But, I knew she would do it event

Sparkles groaned as she donned her earmuffs. She heard her mom's soothing voice as she tried to soothe a wailing Gemma.Since the disappearance of Elena and Aiden two days ago, no one had been able to get even a second of sleep in the house. It was as if the little wolf had sensed what was going on. Perhaps, she did since all her werewolf senses were already active for a child her age. “Mom, my ears are bleeding." Sparkles hollered even though her mom was just some distance away. “I think you should give her one of those sleeping pills you administered to us while we were little."“No," Callista said firmly, rolling her eyes. “She is not a troubled child. She only misses her father and Elena.”Sparkles rolled her eyes at her assertion of them being a problematic children when little. She watched as her mother gently placed Gemma in her cot.Callista counted to see if she would come awake again. Luckily, she didn't, and she let out a relieved sigh. She shuffled to the vanity close to

ElenaIt had been three days since I was captured, and I lost hope of anyone coming to rescue me. Slowly, I tried to open my heavy-lidded eyes. I was still in the same white room they had kept in.My legs and hands were shackled to the bed, which made movement quite unbearable. I winced as I tried to turn to my side because I had been lying on my back for too long, and it ached.I heard footsteps down the hallway, and the door to the room I was in swung open. A man who I barely recognised in a white lab coat stepped in. He clutched a white clipboard with him. Perhaps, he was a doctor and the person fixing these narrow tubes in my veins to drain my blood.I hadn't seen him until now because I was always unconscious whenever he came in. I had learnt that my blood was a tool to make a powerful cure, as well as turn a hybrid into an immortal. It was one of the reasons I was still in this room alive.Jensen desired to be immortal, and it was as if being a hybrid wasn't enough. He wanted t

I groaned, rolling to my side as I came awake. My eyes travelled to the clock that sat on the nightstand, and it read 7:00 am. Moreover, the nonstop pounding on the door continued, and I wondered who was outside at this time of the day.I didn't think of anyone in Aiden's siblings or parents that could come visiting. Though they could visit whenever they wanted, they respected our privacy too.It was barely a month since I was rescued from Jensen. Still, Jensen was nowhere to be found, and it looked as if he had vanished from the face of the earth. Nonetheless, I was glad since he didn't trouble us or anyone anymore. Moreover, it had been arduous making Aiden come back to his senses.After my rescue, I visited him in the cave he had been locked in. I was almost ripped apart by the ravenous vampire in it with him, but I was glad he had been bound with magical chains to restrain him.Also, Aiden had restrained himself from coming at me or any of his siblings. Though his change was
