Kai stood still, he didn’t say a word, and I didn’t say anything either.My whole body felt tight, like I couldn’t move. My hands were shaking and curled into fists. My jaw was locked so hard, it started to hurt. I tried to breathe, but it felt heavy in my chest.Kai looked at me for one more second. His eyes were cold, but I saw something else in them that looked like pain. Then, without saying anything, he turned and walked away.Just like that… he was gone.The door closed behind him with a soft click. The sound felt loud in the silence. I stood frozen. I didn’t even blink. My heart was beating too fast, too loud. It felt like it would jump out of my chest.I kept staring at the door, hoping maybe he would come back. But he didn’t.Selene was standing nearby. She turned her head and watched Kai as he disappeared down the hall. Her eyes followed him until he was out of sight.She didn’t say anything either. But I saw something in her eyes, something sharp, something knowing.The ro

Lucian’s POVI walked into the private hall of the estate.It was too quiet and the air smelt like roses. Selene was already sitting at the head of the table, she looked up and smiled. She was wearing a gold dress that hugged her body. But I didn't feel anything, I didn't feel any love or desire for her. “Lucian,” she said and her voice was soft. She stood up and walked toward me.I walked to her and kissed her cheek quickly. “Evening,” I said.She smelt like sweet flowers, too sweet. I stepped back.We sat at the table, two plates of food were already served. Selene picked up the wine bottle and poured me a glass. “How is the company today?” she asked, and she tried to sound casual.“Fine,” I replied.She waited for more and I said nothing else.She cut her steak slowly, like she was thinking hard and her fingers were perfect, nails painted light pink. “You have been quiet lately,” she said, her eyes on her plate.I nodded. “Busy.”She looked up at me. “Too busy to call me? Too

Lucian’s POVI didn't sleep.I lay in bed, and stared right at the ceiling, the moon was penetrating through the curtain, but I only saw him, his silver eyes, his smirk and the way his mouth touched mine.The way his teeth sank into my neck.My body was still hot, it was still shaking and my wolf wouldn’t stop growling inside me.Mine.I got up before the sun rose.And I went straight to the control room. Two guards were there, drinking coffee.“Pull up the cameras from last night,” I said.They jumped to their feet.“Yes, Alpha,” one said, and his fingers were already typing.“The banquet hall. Focus on the waiters. There was one with silver eyes.”They searched and the screen showed flashes from last night, guests laughing, servers walking around, and music playing.“There,” I said, pointing. “Pause. Zoom in.”The camera stopped on a group of waiters and my heart started to race.But he was not there.We went through all the cameras, front gate, side exit, kitchens, guest rooms, but

I slammed the door shut behind us, it was hard.I stood still, as I breathed fast and my chest went up and down like I ran a race and my hands were shaking. My head also felt like it was running a race. What just happened?Why did I kiss him?Kai leaned against the wall across the room and his arms were crossed over his chest. He looked too calm. It was like nothing strange just happened. Like kissing me was normal for him.But it was not normal for me. Not at all.“Why did you kiss me?” I asked, I was still breathing fast.Kai raised his head a little and his voice was calm, like he was not surprised. “You kissed me first.”“I didn’t mean to,” I said as I ran a hand through my hair and my heart raced fast.Kai raised one eyebrow. “You wanted to.”“No,” I said quickly, too quickly.But my body told a different story.My hands itched to touch him again and my chest felt tight. My wolf was awake, it was pushing, pacing, growling inside me.Mine. Mine. Mine.I took one step back.But K

Scene 1: The Contract CelebrationThe Blackthorn mansion was very big and very rich. Lights shone everywhere and the floor was gold. The walls were silver with big g glass chandeliers hung from the ceiling. They sparkled like stars.The whole place smelt of sweet, they smelt like roses and power.The top clans were here tonight and witches in long black dresses. Vampires with red eyes and sharp teeth.

Flash.Camera blinded me and I didn’t blink, I didn't wave and I didn’t smile.I walked straight, like I didn’t see anyone. I was cold and calm, like a king.Inside the ballroom, the air was thick. It smelt like old magic and fake smiles and saw her right away.Selene Aldair. My fiancée.She was tall, pale, and perfect. Her dress was
