When Selene reached home, her mood was simmering. Melinda’s snide comments didn’t surprise her, but combined with Jenna’s arrival, they stung. ' Is every woman in this town trying to get under my skin?' And then there was Kyle. The cold, frustrating, impossible Kyle who acted as if none of this affected him. As if she didn’t affect him. By late afternoon, Selene found herself pacing. Should I just… talk to him? She needed to confront him about Jenna. Or at least about that smug look he wore when Jenna was around. She couldn't just let him keep playing her around like this. Before she could overthink it, she called him. However, it rang but he didn't pick up. Angry, Selene dialed it again.This time, the line clicked after a few rings.“Selene,” Kyle's deep voice drawled, slow and rich. “Missing me already?”Her pulse jumped. “Just wanted to know if you’re home.”A low chuckle rumbled through the phone. “You really can’t go a day without hearing my voice, can you?” She rolled he

“So,” Liam said, clearly eager to change the subject, “I made some new friends today. A girl named Ivy and this nerdy guy, Aaron. We’re gonna go to school together from now on.” Iam didn't like that at his big age, his mom still has to bring him to school.Selene raised a brow, a teasing smile forming on her lips. “Ivy, huh? Sounds like a pretty name.”Liam instantly went red. “It’s not like that!”“Oh?” Selene leaned forward, smirking. “Then why are you so defensive, hmm? Is it because of Ivy’s pretty smile?”“Mooom,” Liam groaned,“It’s not like that. Seriously.”Selene laughed softly, her teasing easing some of her earlier frustration. “Alright, alright. I’ll drop it… for now.”As Liam got up to put his dishes in the sink, his phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen and typed for a while before raising his head as if to recollect something, “Oh, uh… Aunt Clara messaged me. She says she’s coming to visit.”Selene’s stomach dropped. “What?”“Yeah. She said she wants to check on us and…

Selene turned to face him once they were inside, wringing her hands. “I… wanted to ask if you could lend me some money. Just enough to get by this month. I’ll pay you back, I swear.”Kyle leaned against the doorway, arms crossed over his chest, amusement flickering in his eyes. “Money, huh? And here I thought you came to confess your undying love.” he muttered the last par just enough for her to hear, clearly still teasing.“Kyle,” she hissed, her cheeks burning. “I’m serious.”He chuckled, walking in to grab his wallet. “Relax. Here.” He handed her a folded stack of bills, his expression infuriatingly calm. “You don’t have to pay me back.”Her stomach twisted at those words. “What? No. I will pay you back.”“Why?” He raised a brow. “You think I’m going to pity you if you don’t? You’re overthinking, Selene.”She froze, anger bubbling under her skin. “So that’s what this is to you? Pity?”Kyle's smirk faltered, but he didn’t back down. “I don’t do pity. If I wanted to pity you, I would

After finalizing their discussion with the principal, Selene left and Liam went to class.By the time lunch rolled around, Liam was trying to keep a low profile in the cafeteria. He grabbed his tray and picked a corner table, but it didn’t take long for yesterday’s bullies to find him.“Well, if it isn’t the Alpha’s little pet,” one of them sneered, leaning over the table. “Think you’re special now?”Liam’s jaw tightened, but instead of blowing up like yesterday, he smirked, a sharp, Kyle-like smirk that came almost naturally. “Special enough to put you flat on your back again if you’re looking for a repeat.”The bullies blinked, not expecting the calm, cutting tone. Liam leaned back in his chair, feeling as suave as Kyle when he was in control. “What’s wrong? 'dog' got your tongue?”The boys trembled in spot, angry at the sensitive word. However, they only muttered empty threats and backed off, cursing under their breath as they left. Liam grinned to himself at this, feeling elated.

Kyle’s voice suddenly softened, the harsh edge fading. “You’re on the edge of your awakening, Liam. That fire inside you, that rage you have in you~ it’s the wolf. That's it's power roaring. And it can burn you alive if you let it.” Liam looked up at him, frowning. “So what? I’m supposed to just… pretend I’m not mad? Pretend I’m fine? Pretend every messes up thing going on around me is fine?” “No,” Kyle said, his gaze shifting toward the crescent moon. “You see that?” He pointed at the glowing sliver above them. “That’s you right now. New and recent. But at the same time half-lit, half-shadowed. We werewolves are like the moon, we carry a long with us its madness. But more importantly, we're to carry two halves inside us, just like the half-moon. The lit side is the madness, the calm side shadowed. Human and wolf. If you let one half consume the other, you lose the balance. You lose yourself. and you become like the full moon. Fully lit, fully mad!" Liam’s eyes followed the cre

“Liam?” Selene walking into her son's room said gently, knocking once before letting herself in. He was on the bed, staring at the ceiling, his jaw tight. " I don’t want to talk,” he muttered. “Well, I do,” she said, stepping inside. “Look, I know this place is hard. I know it’s not what you wanted. But this anger you’re carrying, it’s not going to help you nor would it help us both. I'm worried it’s only going to eat you alive.” Liam turned his head, his young face pained. “Why do you let them talk to you like that? Why do you even care about what he thinks?” He was speaking about Kyle. Selene’s breath caught. “It’s… complicated,” she said softly. “ Kyle and I have a past. We kind of hurt each other, something like friends do. Close friends. You'll understand this when you have some. But- what matters is, what you see now isn’t the whole story. Sometimes, the one who looks like the bad guy isn’t really the villain. And the person who’s hurt the most doesn’t always look like t

As the car approached the grand entrance of the mansion, Val noticed the impressive wrought-iron gates slowly opening, welcoming them inside in a warm usher. A long, tree-lined driveway stretches out vastly, leading to the magnificent mansion nestled amidst beautifully manicured gardens. The sight of the sprawling estate, with its classy modern architecture and pristine surroundings left Val in awe. The driver rode slowly and rode them closer, allowing Val to catch glimpses of the luxurious features like the grand entrance of the mansion with its ornate columns as well as the elegant fountain in the courtyard. It was truly a breathtaking sight to behold." Marvelous " Val mouthed, having only seen places like this online or in movies." Heh Heh," Bob chuckled at Val's innocence. He was amused at her praise for his place." You can take your time to look around later but first we must talk," Bob said as he stepped out of the car and went around to open the door for Val." How kind and

Bob was baffled as to why she would leave all of a sudden. Could it be that she realized he knew her secret and was too embarrassed to face him?" Did you tell her anything after I left Doctor Brown?" Bob asked still frowning, he didn't like the sound of this at all." Not much. She'd asked of you first when she came to, and I told her you left. And yeah, I gave her the credit card you asked me to hand her" The doctor recounted briefly with a confused face, he still didn't understand why that has anything to do with the problem at hand.Bob's eyes widened as he realized the problem from the doctor's story. " Which way did you see her go?" Bob asked alarmingly looking at every personnel present. " I- I saw her go down the road that way just now" The receptionist who was receiving most of the blame pointed." Okay!" Bob nodded and hurried out of the hospital, about to go in search of Val.After Doctor Brown had informed him of what he said to Val, Bob could tell what had happened. Val

Three days had passed since Val had woken up in the hospital, and Val was still lying on the bed in her light green hospital gown. It was just past 11 in the morning, close to noon, and she was staring at the ceiling with a pensive look on her face as her thoughts clouded her mind.Despite having been in the hospital for a few days, Val had not been able to sleep well. The pain and trauma she had experienced were still fresh in her mind, and she couldn't seem to shake them off.She couldn't stop thinking about Bob's sudden disappearance. Even though she didn't expect anything from him, she wished he had stayed to listen to her. Val had asked the doctor when she would be discharged and was told it would be today. She impatiently checked the clock again, eager to leave the hospital. Her body, which had previously been weak, had now regained enough strength to move around freely.Her thoughts roamed to the other matter that she hadn't been able to get off of her mind recently after havin

In an intimate collision with Luca... While being humped by him to ecstasy in moans, grunts, and screams of passion, Courtney was able to plunge deep into her darkest whim and acted on her most destructive intent.Fortunately, Luca lived alone so it made things easier for her.Courtney could still vividly remember how the pleasured look on his face had turned awry and horrific when she stabbed a knife at his neck amid the intercourse. His blood gushed and tainted her view, but Courtney hadn't minded. Her heart first trembled and shook in fear but it had become cold and indifferent afterward, though her hands that still stabbed the knife at his neck shook in fear. In a fit of rage, Courtney had pushed him aside and stabbed him severally even long after his eyes had lost the life in them. She did so until she was satisfied, and then broke into a fit of crazed laughter.In nothing but panties and bra that were shifted to the side and revealing her most intimate parts while sitting on L

Courtney could envision her younger self, slightly pale and with unhealthy skin in tattered dress and scars all over her body. She used to be a street crackhead with no home or someone she could call family. She'd lost her parents to a terrible accident when she was only 14, and she had nowhere else to go as her relatives were unknown to her. The orphanage wasn't a place for her to stay so she left for the streets ending up a victim of Madam J. She became her personal play toy, and the Madam who ran a cartel and pimped out young girls, would use her anyway she liked. It was days of hell and nights of pain and torture for Courtney. She could still remember being tied down on a table, with marks of whip lashes all over her body as the cops came in to free her. The relief in her heart when she saw the Madam being arrested and taken away resurfaced in her mind.Not until that faithful day when the police raided the clubhouse and arrested Madam J. Finally being free, Courtney became a

Mark laid atop Maggie on the bed with a pallid expression worn on his face. He heaved and hoed incessantly as though he'd just climbed a mountain. Of course, what he climbed was more than a mountain. Both Mark and Maggie breathed haggardly and heavily after having rolled in the hay. They had both just indulged in a very intimate relation that could only be described as passionate yet full of pent up frustration and lust. Maggie, who was half naked in only her cum-stained undies shifted and hanging in places other than that which they were supposed to be covering, had her head kicked back and her eyes rolled back in ecstasy. She spasmed in place at intervals as her body squirmed in collision with Mark's rigid and firm figure uncontrollably.Even after the passionate session they'd both just had, Maggie's body was still full of lust and wished that it never ended. However, Maggie had reached her limit. The pleasure was too much to bare for her and her whole body had become sore and nu

Slam!Returning back into the cabin, Darren held Kyley in his arms, carrying her like a princess.The latter just clung unto him with her face buried in his chest, seemingly lost in thought.Tap! Tap! Tap!.He silently carried Kyley up the stairs, ignoring the living room that seemed disheveled as though a war had broken out there. He had a solemn expression worn on his face.Getting to the top of the stairs, Darren continued towards the room.Once he got in the room, Darren slowly walked towards the bed and gently laid Kyley down on it. The latter turned on the bed, facing her back to Darren. She wrappedher bloodied hands around herself as she curled in bed. Her gaze seemingly lost in a distant thought.Darren didn't say anything and just say by the bed, his back faced to Kyley as well. He stared at a distant spot in thought with a sour expression on his face.Silence loomed over in the dark room as emotions grew intense in the heavy quietness. " Kyley?" It wasn't until after a lo

" Are you okay?" Darren moved back from the embrace, quickly checking Kyley's body for injuries or wounds of any kind as he asked. What she did just now was very risky and he still feared that Jason might have hurt her someway. After all, Kyley was just an omega. She's weak.Kyley still staring in a lost daze at Jason's dead body moved her gaze to meet Darren. " I killed him..." she muttered in a low tone. Darren hearing this froze and looked at Kyley warmly. He reached a palm to cup her face. " You did the right thing Kyley. Besides, you saved me." Darren said to her in a tone full of gratitude. He reached to cup her face warmly.Feeling his warm touch, Kyley couldn't help but raise her gaze to look at him. Her pale blue iris reflected his well outlined face under the moonlight. Her eyes watered and she broke into tears as she jumped into his embrace.' My love...' Darren sighed pitifully in his heart and hugged Kyley tight.The latter cried hard in his embrace for the longest whi

Darren had ran through the woods in pursuit of the scent and tracks left by the person who had left the cellphone with instructions to trace them. It was as though he were playing hide and seek as he rushed about the woods, running in trail of all sorts of things like hair, piece of clothing and marks on the trees. With the piece of underwear in his hands, Darren could tell that it was a lady. " Follow the trails I left behind in the woods towards the Moonblood pack if you wish to find Kyley. Hurry!" Running around the wilderness towards south, Darren couldn't help but be reminded of the content of the message that he'd found on the screen of the cellphone that he'd found on the countertop. Considering this involved the Moonblood pack, Darren knew that he might very well be walking into a trap set up by Jason. However, he still persisted. If they had taken Kyley captive, he needed to find her and save her regardless. He didn't care about this being a trap set up for him. So l

' Trouble! Big trouble!' she thought to herself, panicking as she fell into thought as to how to get out of this mess. She could very well try to run away at the moment, but what about Kyley? " Why?" Jason stopped on his step forward and asked with a creased gaze. He spread a palm and shook his head dramatically as though he'd given Paige everything in the world only to for her to betray him. Paige couldn't help but shudder at Jason's words, her eyes darted about as she became horrified. If she doesn't do something soon, she would have to spend the rest of her days in that basement with Kyley as Jason's torture pigs. Nonetheless, she knew she had no way of fighting Jason. She could only try to stall for time at the moment. Paige looked around in search for something to protect herself with as she slowly took cautious steps back, hoping that there was enough distance to escape. " You're sick, Jason. You need help..." She shifted into her human form and said, shaking her head se

Just as Jason left, Terry and Igor who had only been attacking the weak members of the Nightclaw pack, massacring every one of them, instantly ran towards Alphonse who pushed himself off of the car and was looking to retreat while still alive.The only thing that had saved him just now was the fact that Kyley had escaped Jason's captive.And If it wasn't for Jason being obsessed with her, he would have been dead by now.Besides, he believed that Jason wanted him alive for some reason.Alphonse wondered just how Kyley ended up in Jason's captive when she had that lycan around to protect her. Did Jason defeat a lycan?Alphonse wasn't too sure, however, it didn't seem unlikely since he had been able to capture Kyley who was under the protection of that lycan. It only made sense to think that the lycan was defeated.If so, then what was he even thinking!?Now wasn't he tune to even ponder all of that. He was wounded and needed to retreat while he still can.However, just as Alphonse was

When he got to Yoldes' palm, Jake was surprised to find the usually filled local pub empty with only José standing by the bar. He had been here severally in the past few days after all, and it had never been like this. Hence, Jake couldn't help but furrow his brows in confusion at this, wondering just what the heck was going on. He quickened his step to approach the bar counter with the thought that perhaps, the werewolves of the Nightclaw pack were aware of the Hunters association's looming assault and had fled the city as a result of this. " Hah! I tried my best to stop him, Jake. But there wasn't anything I could do about it" Jake shook his thoughts off of what he was thinking for a second and frowned when he heard José sigh and say as he sat by the counter. Seeing Jake walk in, José grew tense, unsure of how to break the news to Jason. Not that Jake didn't understand José, nor did he not know that the old man was speaking about Erik. However, he still didn't understand ju
