Jaden's POVI wished to kill him right there. Each punch on his face was a trigger for another one, and hearing his groans and cry of intense pain only sent more uncontrollable urges to disfigure his face with my blows.For every pain he had caused Selene. For every moment she cried bitterly and lamented for mercy while he went on torturing her, I felt like taking his life, and even though I agreed with Selene just to beat him up and not kill him, it was so much more difficult to stop until she told me so.It was as if her voice was all my anger needed to fade away, and it was at that same moment that I realized how hard I had hit him. He looked quite scary with his face beaten to pulp making him appear like those zombies in horror movies, as blood spilled from almost every part of his face.I stood up after wiping my bloody hands on his cloth, and it was even then that I noticed the little crowd of students that had gathered, some were taking pictures and videos of what was happening

Jaden's POV Night was drawing near as I sat on a big tree branch in the wood, waiting patiently for night to fall so I could hurry to that royal packhouse and keep a close eye on the building.I don't know the strategy the knights would be using to lure her out or if they were going to sneak in. I really have no idea, but I won't take any chances. My plan was to make sure I was beside Selene in whatever way.They will all have to walk over my corpse to get her killed because I would rather die than watch them touch a strand of her hair. I know it's a betrayal. I know it's an abomination. I clearly know I am defying the entire vampire tradition and law, but the days when I cared are gone.Unfortunately, at this moment, I would go the extra mile for her. Even if I get banished from my Kingdom, we will find a new life together in a faraway land. As long as she walks with me, our hands clasped together, savoring the warmth and serenity of the environment, that's all that matters.We will

"Were you already expecting to be killed tonight? Do you know who we really are? Why are you so terrified?" One of them, with dark dreadlocks, asked as a trace of surprise look crossed their faces abruptly.It was then that I noticed the clothes they were wearing. It was the same as the royal guards in this pack. They had come in disguise but weren't aware that I could smell their scent."There is no need to try to feign anything. I can smell you. I know who you all are. But I don't know why the vampires wants me dead. What did I do wrong? Why do I have enemies both sides?" I asked in tears, my voice breaking in and out as their brows furrowed with their eyes flickering in shock."You can smell our scent? You know we are vampires?""No werewolf can break through our cover and smell our vampire scent unless they are one of us. How did you do it?""Are you normal?""This is strange!""How possible?!" Their questions of confusion shot at me as their eyes scanned all over my body."I hav

"Your Highness, what answer are we giving him? Should I send him away since you have been silent on his question?" The voice of one of my personal guards echoed in my head, drifting me back from the realm of deep thoughts I never knew I had drowned in.I didn't hear whatever question was asked of me, nor did I notice there was someone in front of me. I had suddenly gotten lost in deep thought about this wolf woman. Her face had suddenly filled my head like a thick cloud in the sky before a heavy downpour.I can't really explain or understand why I was suddenly thinking deeply about her, fantasizing about the little moments we spent together, and recalling how pretty her smile was and the warmth her cool, sexy voice sent to my heart.It was as if I had allowed myself to lose someone so special. It had been many years, and I actually succeeded in putting her in the past as I was a man with no heart to love, but just today, all of a sudden, I had lost all ability to stop thinking about h

We stayed in that position for some minutes, clinging to each other as he whispered words of love to me, making me blush from time to time. His body wrapped around me, making me so warm, and his words tendered my heart, especially how his voice sounded, reeking with affection.I didn't even know when I went to sleep.Actually, I can't tell how long I had dozed off, but when I woke and opened my eyes, I was faced with his pair of green eyes on me as if he were scanning my face. He was lying on his side, propped up on one elbow, his hand supporting his head as he maintained a steady gaze at me with a smile on his face."You didn't sleep?" I beamed, feeling the duvet that was over my body."I slept, but I woke before you and took the opportunity to stare at you more. You look prettier and sexier when asleep with your small pouty lips slightly apart and a little smile gracing your face." He whispered, making me chuckle."My cheeks might burn from blushing a lot. You're making me float."
