"Why are you blaming me for this? They're yours, you know." Mimi asked."But u chose them.""Not really. I chose wrongly?" Their looks were top notch and their characters was really good too. What's wrong with a little childishness? At least there was the mature Adrian and the calm Ethan. Hmph! "No." Lila smiled raking her fingers through Lucas' hair. "They're perfect."Mimi rolled her eyes."Wait. Why are you still here? Aren't you supposed to go get the contract?." Lila asked. She had almost forgotten about it again. These days her memory was really messed up. Could it be her confusing dream with reality? She has been having some really weird dreams lately, so much that she thinks it's messing with her thought process."I'll do that soon." Mimi assured, but lika was unconvinced."You have to hurry. I'll be leaving for City K soon and I need you here in the house." After she left, only Mimi would be able to help the others leave the house and come back in without problems. Addition

Lucas was already awake when Lila stirred in his arms.One arm was wrapped around her waist loosely, his fingers absentmindedly tracing slow circles against her skin.Lila opened her eyes slowly, still sleepy. The room was warm and quiet.She shifted closer to him instinctively. "Morning..."Lucas looked down at her and smirked slightly. "You're awake. Good"Lila squinted. Before she could ask anything, he tilted her chin up and pressed his lips against hers.Lila froze for a second before pushing weakly against his chest. "Lucas- I haven't even brushed yet.""I know," he murmured against her lips, sounding far too pleased about it."Disgusting.""You still taste nice.""Shameless."He chuckled softly and cupped her cheek as he leaned in. Their lips met softly, pressing together in slow, lingering kisses. He savored the warmth of her mouth, brushing his lips against hers again and again. She sighed, her fingers sliding into his hair, pulling him closer as the kisses deepened.He caug

The cars slowly rolled to a stop in front of the gates.“Identity verified. Welcome to Queen’s place.” The mechanical voice sounded cold and clear.The gates opened slowly and everyone drove in. Some of them still weren’t used to that voice.Xiao Bai scratched his head. “Boss… that thing still scares me.”“No one asked,” Victor said.Xiao Bai shut his mouth immediately. No one knows what happened but since the ride back, Victor had a weird look on his face.I should have just taken the other car. Xiao Bai thought.After they settled down, the living room quickly became noisy. Those that were left at home were now sitted to hear about the things outside.“They’re a bit faster now and stronger.” Lao Hu muttered.“I swear that one almost dodged me.” Xiao Bai said.“That’s because you’re slow.” Mimi stated.“I’m not slow!”Lila ignored them.She brought out the cores and placed them on the table. They were small and shiny. But filled with energy.“Use these,” she said putting some aside i

At first, they thought it was just rain. Then the zombies started moving strangely. They twisted in abnormal ways and kept growling for what seemed like hours.After that, their movements weren’t as stiff anymore and their heads turned more naturally. Inside a supermarket, two men didn’t dare move all night. They had locked themselves in the storage area, surrounded by shelves and boxes.“I told you we shouldn’t have come out,” one of them muttered, pacing.“Then what, starve?” the other snapped. “You want to eat air?”The first man, Leo didn’t reply. He just peeked through the small gap again. The zombies outside were still wandering around. But they were not like before.“They’ve changed,” he whispered.“Obviously.”“No, I mean it. Look at them.”The second man, Jace hesitated, he moved closer then froze. “Yeah.”The zombies weren’t just wandering around. They were following a particular one. Like it's their leader.A loud sound suddenly echoed outside making both men flinch.“Did

Even though the men took turns keeping watch, Lila didn’t sleep deeply. Mimi was unreliable.At any moment, she could wake up to find the roof gone or worse, the house on fire.By morning, the rain had stopped, but the sky was still dull and heavy.Lila stepped out and scanned everyone. “Status.”“Water ability,” Lao Hu said, unable to hide his excitement. A small stream of water formed in his palm before dropping.Victor leaned against the wall. “Level eight.”Adrian didn’t say anything, but his gaze met hers briefly. Level eight too.Lila narrowed her eyes slightly. Although they didn't awaken they had skipped almost three levels and were now in level eight. Even she wasn’t there yet. Interesting.Breakfast was quick. The excitement in the room was obvious.They wanted to see what changed. What the zombies had become.Lila didn’t stop them. Instead, she stepped outside and waved her hand. Several vehicles appeared in front of them. Not the old ones, these ones were stronger and reinf

By the time they got inside, the rain had already soaked through their clothes.Lila leaned against the closed door for a second. The room felt warmer but something wasn’t right.“That wind was insane,” Xiao Bai said.Lucas smirked. “I handled it.”“Actually, you almost blew the house away,” Victor replied.Lila didn’t join in. Her head felt heavy. At first, she ignored it. But then her vision blurred slightly. She frowned glancing at the others. “Do any of you feel that?” she asked.Gu Yu rubbed his neck. “Now that you mention it… I feel a bit weird.”Victor’s brows pulled together. “Yeah… me too.”Lila’s gaze sharpened. Her eyes moved quickly and stopped on Ethan. His lips were darker. Not just purple, it was almost black. “Ethan.”He looked up. “Hmm?”“Are you using your ability,” she said slowly. He blinked. “No.”Lila stepped closer and the dizziness grew worse. “It’s leaking,” she said.Everyone froze.“What?” Xiao Bai asked almost jumping in his seat.“Your poison,” Lila said,

DariusMy fingers tightened around the edge of the drawer. I had put it there myself after taking it from Lianne.So where the hell was it?I turned around to see Lianne already walking toward the door.“Where do you think you're going?”She stopped. Then she turned around slowly.“Leaving.” She stated, like it was the most obvious thing ever.I stepped in front of her.“Where?”She frowned. “Why do you care?”“Because you're not leaving this house.”Her eyes narrowed. “Move.”She tried to walk past me but I grabbed her arm.“Let go of me.” She pulled hard. I didn't release her. I know the blood was important to her. I messed up big time, but I didn't want her leaving. Who knows what she'd do on impulse?My grip tightened. “You know…” I trailed. “I'm glad the blood ended up with Eirene and not your stupid boyfriend.” I knew it was childish. I just wanted her to feel even a fraction of what I did. But I soon regretted that, seeing as she was more concerned about Kai not getting it than

Darius My eyes moved from Eirene to Lianne. I didn't answer immediately. I wanted to see her reaction when I did.She was staring at me, her fingers wrapped tightly around her fork. I could hear her heartbeat spike from where I sat. I nodded slowly, eyes still fixed on her. “Yes.”She suddenly relaxed after hearing that. My brows furrowed as I wondered if I read her reaction wrong. The following second, she pushed her chair back so quickly that it scraped the floor.“I’m done.”She didn't look at any of us before walking away.I watched her leave. Cassius was already getting up.“I’m going after her.”“Wait.” I said He looked at me.“Let her go.” I smirked.“What?”I glanced at my brothers. They were both looking at me like I'd lost my mind.“This might be our chance.”Lucian frowned. “What are you talking about?”I looked around, Eirene was nowhere to be found, I was sure Lucian had everything to do with it. He hated her guts from day one.Meanwhile, Lysa was pretending to eat eve

I couldn’t stop thinking about the blood.It sat at the back of my mind all morning, no matter what I tried to do. Even when I called Kai.“How are you feeling?” I asked, pressing the phone closer to my ear as I paced my room.“A lot better than I've felt in years.” he said.“I shouldn't have left like that.” There was a small pause, then a soft chuckle. “You worry too much.”I sat on my reading table.I closed my eyes for a second. I wanted to tell him about the blood. About what happened last night. But the words didn’t come out.Everything I had read—everything I knew about wolves like that…weren’t normal. They were always hunted and feared.They brought trouble. “I’ll come see you later,” I said instead.“Alright.”We stayed on the call a few seconds longer before I hung up.I stared at my phone. Then at my drawer.My chest tightened again. I couldn't even draw another blood until next month. What if Kai relapses before then. According to the books I've read. The blood can only

DariusThe scent hit me before I even stepped inside.Blood. Not just any blood. Lianne’s.I paused at the door. My hand still on the handle.Why would there be blood in her room? My jaw tightened as I pushed the door open.The room was empty. But the scent was fresh and faint.I stepped in slowly, closing the door behind me.My eyes scanned the space. Nothing looked out of place. It didn't seem like she was in trouble.I followed the scent until I stopped in front of her closet. I pulled the drawer open and there it was.A small container with dark red blood in it. My chest tightened slightly.Why would she keep her blood? My mind raced quickly. There was another scent that I couldn't describe. It wasn’t just blood. There was something else in it. I picked it up.The moment I did, my wolf reacted with something I couldn't name. My grip tightened around the container.Could this be related to the library. It was strange that she suddenly went there and came back to store blood in a c

LianneI didn’t sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw it again. The glow and the way Kai just stopped hurting.By morning, my head was pounding. I got up anyway. Staying in that room wasn’t going to help.I took a shower and prepared to go to my part time job. It wasn't my shift yet but I wanted to speak to my boss first and maybe take some more time off.The moment I opened the door, I knew I wasn’t alone. Darius was leaning against the wall, arms crossed.Cassius stood a few steps away, pacing like he hadn’t slept either.Lucian was by the window. Watching me.“You didn’t sleep,” Lucian said.I walked past them. “Neither did you.”“No one sleeps when their mate disappears for so many hours and come back looking like a mess.” Cassius muttered.I ignored that.“Where are you going?” Darius asked.I didn’t stop walking. “Out.”Footsteps followed immediately. I sighed.“I’m going to the library,” I said, turning slightly. “Not running away.” I didn't want them to know that I wanted

LianneThe moment my feet hit the ground, I didn’t stop.Cold air rushed past me as I ran deeper into the trees. I didn’t look back. I didn’t want to.“Found you.”My steps froze. I turned slowly.Lysa stood a few steps behind me, arms crossed, like she had been waiting all along. Her lips curved into a small smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes.“I knew it,” she said, tilting her head. “You were never the obedient type.”I said nothing.My chest was still tight from earlier. From everything.“What do you want, Lysa?” I asked.She walked closer, her boots crunching lightly against the ground. “Relax. I’m not here to drag you back.”I didn’t believe her for a second.“You think I don’t understand?” she continued. “Being forced into a mate bond like that… especially with them.”Something in her tone felt weird.“I get it,” she said softly. “It’s not something you can just accept overnight.”I frowned slightly, studying her face. “Since when do you care?”She shrugged. “Since always. You j
