The walls of the cell were stone—cold, damp, and old enough to remember war. They didn’t creak like the rotted beams of my father’s dungeons; they were silent, oppressive. Unyielding. I’d been here less than a day, but time stretched thin in a place like this. No one talked about the amount of boredom that came with staying in a place like this. I felt like I was going insane by the hour. I sat on the narrow cot, legs folded beneath me, hands clasped tight in my lap. There was straw on the floor, clean enough, and a single tray of food had been slid through the iron bars earlier. I hadn’t touched it. Not because I was above eating their food, but because hunger felt distant—muted. Like everything else. I wasn’t sure what hurt more: being imprisoned by strangers or the way Jeremy had walked away from me. Mate. The word throbbed in my chest like a bruise. When he’d pinned me against that tree in the woods, I’d felt the pull too. Not just instinct. Not just fear. Something deeper. I’d seen it in his eyes—the flash of recognition. But he hadn’t let it change anything. He still dragged me here. Still locked the door. I couldn't blame him. Not really. I was a vampire. Worse, I was Firouzja’s daughter. But I wasn’t his daughter. Not really. Not the way daughters were supposed to be. I was an inconvenience. Still, I’d hoped for something different when I crossed the border into wolf territory. Maybe a clean death. I didn’t get either. I got Jeremy. And his eyes. God, those eyes. The cell door rattled, pulling me from the spiral. Heavy boots on stone. I didn’t need to look to know it was him. His presence hit like a change in weather—charged and sudden. I looked up. He stood just beyond the bars, arms folded across his chest. The moonlight filtering through the high window behind him made him look carved from shadow. “You haven’t touched your food,” he said. “Not hungry.” “That’s not how surviving works. You have to eat.” I shrugged. “Didn’t come here to survive.” He didn’t respond to that. Just watched me with unreadable eyes. Silence stretched between us, thick with tension neither of us knew how to name. I thought he might leave. But instead, he stepped closer. “You’re not like the others,” he said after a moment. I laughed, low and bitter. “Because I’m in a cage instead of a crypt?” “No. You don’t smell like one. You don’t act like one either.” “You sure that’s not just wishful thinking?” His jaw tightened. “Don’t play games, Lisa. I don’t have the patience for that.” “Then why are you here?” He didn’t answer immediately. His eyes dropped to the ground, then back to mine. “I don’t know.” I wanted to scream. To claw at something until it made sense. Instead, I sat still, letting the silence press into me. He looked torn—like he was battling something inside. And I understood that. I’d been battling all my life. “Do you feel it too?” I asked quietly. He didn’t pretend not to understand. “Yes.” The word sat between us like a loaded weapon. I waited, holding my breath, hoping for more but there was nothing. “I can’t explain it,” he said. “It shouldn’t be possible.” “I know.” We sat in the impossibility together. His fingers flexed at his side like he was fighting the urge to move. Or to stay. I didn’t know which terrified me more. “You could’ve killed me in the woods,” I said. “Why didn’t you?” He hesitated. “Because I didn’t want to.” “That’s not an answer.” “It’s the only one I’ve got.” A beat passed. “Do your people know what I am?” I asked. “No. They think you’re a witch.” I blinked. “Why?” “Because if they knew the truth, they’d want your head. And I’m not ready to let that happen.” My throat tightened. I wasn’t used to kindness—especially not from his kind. My clan had taught me wolves were savage, blood-hungry beasts. But here I was. Still breathing. Still speaking. “Thank you,” I said, and meant it. He looked startled. Like he hadn’t expected gratitude. “You’re not safe here,” he said. “Not forever.” “I’ve never been safe anywhere.” Something flickered in his expression. Anger. Guilt. Maybe both. “What did he do to you?” Jeremy asked, voice low. I swallowed hard. “He kept me in a cell most of my life. Said I was weak. A stain. My mother was human, so I never developed like the others. No bloodlust. No power. Just golden eyes and bad luck.” Jeremy stepped closer to the bars, his scent brushing the air between us. Not threatening—steady. Grounding. My breath hitched. “Why run here?” he asked. “Why not disappear into human cities?” “I didn’t want to disappear,” I said. “I wanted to matter. Even if it meant dying on your territory.” He didn’t speak. Just stared. And in his silence, I saw the war in him. Then, a soft knock at the far door. He turned sharply, posture tense. Whoever it was didn’t enter. “I have to go now,” he said. Of course he did. “Don’t lie to your pack forever,” I told him as he turned. “They’ll find out. And when they do, they won’t just hate me.” He paused. “I know.” As he left, the chill returned. But the quiet felt different this time. Not empty—just waiting. I curled back onto the cot, staring up at the ceiling. For the first time in my life, I wasn’t sure what I wanted. Freedom? Revenge? Or a reason to stay? Someone to stay for? I closed my eyes and tried not to think of warm gazes and stormy eyes. Tried not to think of Jeremy and the way his voice softened when he said my name. But it was too late. I’d felt the pull too. And I wasn’t ready to let go.

‘I-Is that really Rey…?’Alicia's shock was clear as day when she saw Rey's aggressive scowl. She couldn’t hide it anymore.“GET UP! DON’T TRY TO PLAY THE VICTIM ANYMO—!”“That’s enough!” Alicia yelled out, her eyes staring daggers at Rey.“A-ah, Alicia, don’t mind me. I’m just telling this—”“Save it. I don’t want to hear anything from you…” Rey attempted to explain, but Alicia wasn't having it. She raised her hand and walked past him, completely ignoring his lame excuse.Approaching the waitress, Alicia knelt beside her, gently taking hold of her trembling hands“It’s fine, don’t worry. I’m not mad at you.” The lady seemed immensely surprised by Alicia’s kindness, and even Rey appeared stunned from behind her.However, Alicia had no further business with him.“Please stand up.” She helped the waitress up, and after they both rose to their feet, she nodded and smiled even more broadly.“You made a mistake. It happens. Maybe take the rest of the day off,” she suggested kindly.Sinc

“U-uhh…”Alicia let out a groan as she slowly blinked her eyes open. The room around her was covered in darkness, and her vision struggled to clear the blur. The combination of darkness and her bleary sight made everything a chaotic mess.Her whole body ached and with each movement, her head pounded. Even the simple act of opening her eyes felt like a chore due to the pain that radiated throughout her body.“You’re… awake… huh?” A familiar voice asked, coming from somewhere close by.Though she couldn’t make out the face, she recognized the familiar voice instantly.“B-Billy…?” Her voice was barely a whisper, her throat feeling like it was on fire with each word.Her discomfort made it hard to focus on anything else.‘What happened? Why am I here? Where is this place? Why is Billy—?’Just as Alicia was about to piece together her thoughts, fragments of recent memories flooded her mind.She remembered how Rey approached her in the library, and how they went to a shady shop.And then…

‘S-something came up…?!’As Rey stared into Adonis’ eyes, he could tell that something was terribly wrong.An expression of concern swept through his face and it felt like anxiety was welling up within him.Before Rey realized it, his heart began to race.“Am I in trouble again?” He asked, a bead of sweat forming on the side of his face.“A-ah! No! No! This is something else. You’ll understand once you come with me. Everyone is waiting…”Adonis had never lied to Rey before—at least not to his knowledge. There was no reason to think he was doing so now, but Rey knew he couldn’t be too sure.After a few seconds of internal debate, Rey decided that his best option was to go with Adonis and see what was going on.‘I’ve not done anything wrong or suspicious lately, right? Or could it be another scheme by the mastermind of last time…?’Rey shrugged off his problematic thoughts and left his position, carrying the book he was reading in his hand without realizing it.“Don’t you need to return
An Alpha tryst with the vampire Chapter 168
“I was only ever interested in one, but when I realized he was a jerk, I cut ties with him.”Alicia then speculated that the senior’s bruised ego might have driven him to spread rumors about her. However, Alicia’s reputation was solid enough that people mostly interpreted it as her casually dating seniors—nothing more, nothing less.Rey's surprise was evident as he muttered, “Oh, wow. I never imagined it was like that.” He turned to Alicia, who simply shrugged in response.“Things aren’t always what they seem. If we listen to everyone’s opinions and don’t take time to form our own, we’ll just end up drowning in misinformation.”Rey thought about Alicia's words, finding them surprisingly insightful, yet he struggled to express his thoughts without seeming cheesy.“That's actually quite smart.” He finally settled on the most neutral way to put it."I know, right?" Alicia replied, her hand playfully sweeping back her long hair as she chuckled, trying to act like a wise diva."Pfft!" Rey
