ROSE"Grayson, get off your phone and help your baby sister get the cereal from the cupboard... I'm not joking Gray! Right now!" I yelled as I put the kettle on.Grayson, the young boy I'd rescued nine years ago had grown into a handsome, healthy and very grumpy teenager. I treated him as I did his younger sister, my own biological child and expected him to take the role of alpha... After I transformed him into a werewolf (it was a promise I made to him). I absolutely adored both of my children."Mom, can't she use a ladder to get it down herself." Gray yelled as he took his headphones off.I shook my head at him, grabbed the cereal and handed it to the copper haired girl with piercing blue eyes."Here we go Rachel."She smiled and sat next to her brother, sticking her tongue out and teasing him. I chuckled. Soon Deami

ROSEI was lying on the floor, winded and in shock. What kind of sick and twisted person was she? She must have been a teenager when she'd instructed Adamson to do such a thing... How sick was Scarlett... And how sick was Adamson to obey her. A young girl giving a slightly older boy such an instruction. It was then that I remembered it all. Adamson. He was why I became what I became. He was ruthless when it came to my torture and the deaths of my parents, an older teenage boy. That's what he was back then. A teenager committing acts of terror. And if he was so young and could do such horrible things, what stopped me. When I'd finally escaped, he'd left.It was then that I grew angry. I felt my bones begin to crack and I howled out as fur began to sprout from my skin. I was turning."What?" Scarlett gasped. I guess she forgot about my little unusual ability to transform.

ROSEScarlett stood there in shock. She still couldn't believe it. However, in a matter of minutes her face grew to desperation and she grabbed a nearby rogue."This will have to do!" She said. She cut him, bled him into the ceramic, recited something in ancient tongue and then drank the mixture. It honestly happened so fast that I had no time to react and in a matter of moments, her body began thrashing forward and back, her eyes rolled back, and she fell to the ground. Horrified but still aware of her growing threatening presence I inched closer to her now still body which lay on the ground. Suddenly, her eyes darted open, her hair immediately changing into a dark silver colour and her eyes started becoming a reddish colour. This didn't feel right. What did she do to herself?She stood up so quickly I barely saw her, and then smiled. What the hell."See I may not be

ROSEI didn't know how to feel or how to act. By this time, Deamian had explained everything to me and I was in a state of utter shock. Apparently, Scarlett was taking her revenge on Deamian because she expected to become the next and final moon goddess since they were in love. Now she had a whole revenge plan calculated and constructed to perfection. She was the one who dragged him out of the place but could not bring me along because they hadn’t had enough time. They needed Deamian's Moon blood seeing as he was half of his mom's species. They also needed me for the moon flower essence which I had absorbed, which meant I walked right into their trap. They needed to do it now, before the essence integrated with my DNA and it became impossible to extract. That meant, they only had today. I wish I'd known. I wish I'd been more aware, less naive and gullible. I wish I were alpha Rose and not Rose, Moon Goddess with actual emotions.

ROSEScarlett and I were quiet as we drove. We both knew that when push came to shove, I'd have to use what little power I had... And that would leave me vulnerable and ready to be caught, just as they wanted. There was no denying that this was a trap, that they knew I would stop at nothing to find Deamian who was currently more important than I was when it came to fulfilling their plans.Soon we passed a sign that read "Nightfall Valley". The infamous public werewolf graveyard. Although it was now old and abandoned, there'd been rumours of ghosts at night haunting the place. That was probably true... But I highly doubted they were ghosts. We passed the entrance and I parked on the pavement, next to a pile of rotting wood. Once we exited the car, I felt it. The lingering feeling of the bond between Deamian and I."He's here!" I said, and then grabbed the rifle and swung it around me. It would

ROSEThe next morning, I woke up to the feeling of a cold and empty bed with nothing but a scribbled note next to me. It read:Would have grabbed you too but your boyfriend gave us quite a struggleImmediately goodebumps formed on my flesh and I began shaking. They had taken Deamian in our sleep. They had taken him, and I had no clue where the hell he was. Immediately I jumped out of bed, following his scent out of the house and towards the centre of the pack grounds, not caring that I was in pyjamas because the place was practically deserted with all the killings that had happened the previous night.Panic ran through me as I reached the end of the pack grounds at the gate and the scent of Deamian just disappeared. I even tried to tap into our mind link, try to enter his mind, but I felt still so weak, like a new-born baby.&

KATERINAThe waiting room was crowded, filled with the presence of my friends and family as we all waited patiently for my brother’s results. Haydon was sitting next to me, clutching my shaking hand while my father had my mother in a tight embrace. Today was the worst day of our lives, but it was also the best. Today we had finally changed history, and it was all thanks to my mother. She was eleven steps ahead of Death, who was only ten steps away from us. She truly was the greatest hunter to have ever lived.After a few hours, the nurse had come out and told us that Dylan was going to be fine. Jasmine, who had been crying with Lucy and Nathan cried even harder. Things were going to be okay, we were all going to be okay. Haydon smiled at me, and I smiled back.“Thank you, for trying to save me.” He said.

KATERINA“Why mom, why!” I cried out, holding the silver box which had now regained its shape, and contained my mother who had, just moments ago began to fake into dust particles and enter into the box. Elizabeth was no longer a threat, and Haydon and I were free. It was all thanks to my mother’s sacrifice. By now the Veneziano’s were awake with tears streaming down their faces. Death was still in the centre of the pentagram, clutching the silver box, which we now had discovered, was a mere replica. He opened it, looked inside, and threw it on the floor.He then stormed up to where we were hovering over the box and took it from me. He tried to throw it on the floor, but Haydon grabbed his hands before he could. Death looked up at him and snarled which made Haydon whimper. He was still treating Haydon like the abusive man he always was, but I couldn&

KATERINABy now we were all tied up, all except for Dylan who was still not awake yet and his skin was beginning to turn a shade of blue. At this rate, he would be dead in a few hours.“What do you want from us?” I yelled out, my eyes still on my brother.Bianca, who was towering over me smirked and kicked me in the face.“Sir, Dylan Connors has a question.” She said, taking my face and inspecting the blood on my face.“I love seeing you bleed Katerina.” She whispered. This made Haydon growl and bare his teeth at her.“Don’t touch her-““Bianca, leave those two al

KATERINAThe air in the house was cold and tense. The rooms were dark, and the home I had once felt comfortable in, was now uncomfortable and dreary. “Death?” my mother called out. She was standing in front, holding a gun in her hand which she had kept in the boot of her car. It was more a sort of anchor than anything else. Hunter weapons did not work on a vampire as rare as Death.The halls were silent, save for the clicking of our careful steps and heavy breathing. Mr and Mrs Veneziano seemed to know what they were doing, so did my parents. All we needed to do, was make sure we did exactly as we were told. Of course Haydon and I were not known for such things, and secretly, Haydon had decided to think up his own plan, and I did the same, neither one of us uttering our plan to one another or to our parents. B

KATERINAWe had gotten on the first available flight, rushed, panicked and panting. The phone call my mother had received was one fatal call, the call from Death. Apparently, my parents had not been secretive enough, and he had caught on to their plan. He was, at the moment, holding my brother, along with Jeremy and the boys hostage. Tonight, was the night he was convinced that he would achieve his goal. He knew that he had power over us, and we could bend to his will.The flight was once again, long and uncomfortable and distress was evident on Haydon’s parent’s faces as well as my own.“I just don’t understand how he figured out that we knew. How the hell could he have known. We showed no evidence whatsoever that we knew about his real plan

KATERINADestroy the remains. Destroy the damn remains.Haydon and I might as well have just broken up because there was no way in hell, that we’d be able to, firstly take the remains away from Death, and secondly, destroy them when they were imbued in dark magic.“That’s why we tried to keep you two apart when we started suspecting. We wanted to figure out how to prevent the prophesy. But clearly you two had to start liking each other and ruin our plans. Honestly Katerina, first underground fights and now this.”And once again, I was busted.“How did you know?”My father smirked and shook his head, “Your brother is an awful liar, Dylan Connors.”

Immediately he gripped at the waistband of my pants and yanked them down before swiftly removing my underwear, leaving me completely naked beneath him. He paused and gazed up at me. Then he removed his hand from my mouth and grabbed one of the pillows.“I’m going to need to use both of my hands for this… so why don’t you use this to keep your moans nice and soft,” he said.I nodded and took the pillow from him, immediately placing it against my mouth.He moved between my thighs, propping them up and lowering his face right above my entrance so that I could feel the heat of his breath against me. His one hand reached out and fondled one of my breasts, the other moved between my thighs, hovering just a small distance above my entrance, before sliding between the folds of skin.I grabbed on tighter to the pillow as he let his finger softly caress at my clit, teasing it ever so gently. And then, while his fingers were busy, he let his tongue join. I could feel myself throbbing, wanting no

Nicholas was tucked away in bed by the time I’d gotten back to the room. We hadn’t really spoken much since Aura and Parker had left. In fact, he almost immediately hid himself away. I thought it was strange but perhaps he needed space after facing Aura. However, when I walked through that door, I could tell that something was off between us. He gazed up at me, a hesitant and almost uncertain look on his face. And at the same time, I could tell he was upset.“Are you okay?” I asked, nearing the bed.He opened his mouth and then closed it again, almost unable to gather up the words. And so I said, “Whatever it is, just say it the way you’re thinking it.”My words seemed to take him back a bit and I could almost see his eyes softening.Then, he opened his mouth again, this time saying, “You didn’t communicate with me before making the decision to get us married…”The moment it left his mouth a sense of realisation hit me. Although I’d thought about getting married with Nicholas, I hadn’

By nightfall the noise in the house had died down, with Aura and Parker opting to take Theo’s advice and booking into a hotel. We’d all agreed that the announcement would be made, both of the marriage and the abolishment of the servitude rule.“Are you sure getting married is the solution?” Kiyan asked. We stood outside, enjoying the cool breeze of the night air.I shrugged and sighed.“Getting married is the cherry on top. I want to unite both sides and to do that, we need to completely destroy those systems that divide us. If we get rid of that, we get rid of Dante’s ‘cause’. All he’ll have left is vengeance.”Kiyan chuckled and then shook his head.“So, the marriage is a fuck you to Dante?”I scrunched my brows and gently punched him on the shoulder.“Of course it’s not. Though now that you say it, I suppose it would infuriate him too.”Kiyan paused for a moment and then cast his eyes down to his shoes. A contemplative look appeared on his face. I was curious about what had him so

We walked back home, hand in hand, goofy smiles on our faces as the thoughts of our steamy escapades just moments earlier, lingered in our minds.“This might be the best date in history, if I do say so myself,” Nicholas said, smiling to himself.I chuckled and shook my head, “So are all of our future dates going to end in sex?”He feigned deep contemplation for a moment, before nodding enthusiastically. “Of course. And it’s all also for academic purposes so it’s a requirement!”“Academic purposes?”“Yes! A writer writes best when they’ve experience something… and I intend to fill your days with all sorts of experiences,” he said, leaning in and kissing my lips tenderly. It felt so normal. In this moment we weren’t a Lycan King and his human mate. We were just two people enjoying an afternoon stroll.By the time we’d reached Theo’s humble abode, we noticed a rather luxurious car parked right behind Theo’s. Immediately, Nicholas’ mood soured, and he let out a soft growl. I squeezed his

His body was so warm and the heat from his skin radiated through me, intoxicating me more with the feeling of him. We were so close, entangled with each other, hips against hips. In that brief moment, right before Nicholas and I were forever bound, there was a strong feeling of anticipation mixed with excitement and nervousness. But it all dissolved into nothingness the moment he entered me. He was extremely gentle, beginning with the tip. As he gazed up at me, his eyes were tender and searching mine.“Are you alright? I’m not hurting you am I?” he asked softly.I shook my head before saying honestly, “It just feels… strange. But you can continue.”He nodded, moving his hips down further, filling me up inch by inch. The further he got, the more the feeling of discomfort and pressure increased, until it became a feeling of pain I couldn’t quite ignore. I winced slightly and he paused, once again asking if I was okay. I found it endearing how much he cared and how concerned he was. It ma

My hands wrapped around his neck and he pulled me closer towards him until I was in his lap, my legs on either side of his and my hips pressed against his hips. And that was when I felt it. A hardness right against me. Immediately, I pulled away from our kiss, slightly surprised by the sudden hardness. My eyes couldn’t help but wander down his body, to that spot between his legs.“I’m sorry… you—”But at that point something insatiably lustful had taken over me. I silenced him with another kiss and that was when the sexual tension in the air only intensified. It felt as though I couldn’t get enough of the heat between us and the addictive feeling of his lips against mine.“I’m just following your lead… so if you want something, tell me,” he said softly against my lips. It was the way he said it, and the reddish hue in his eyes that completely enraptured me.“I want you…” I said softly, barely able to stop myself.Suddenly, his face became a bit more serious, and he asked in a firm ton
