Dominic ‘You hate me that much?’ Apollo asks, a little sad and not angry like he usually is. ‘You will be spending eternity without Esther. You let her go. Again.’ ‘Thanks for rubbing it in,’ I say dryly. He responds with a growl. ‘What do you want me to do, Apollo?’ ‘You can kill everyone in the world for all I care. All I want is my mate!’ he grumbles.Aiden knocks once and opens the door to my study. I’ve been spending a lot of time in my study and avoiding my bed, where Esther’s scent still lingers. “You okay, Dom?” “Dealing with Apollo’s tantrums,” I sigh. ‘Yeah, sounds like him.’ He sends a mindlink and then chuckles audibly. ‘Is it about her?’ I nod. 'And about Felix. We despise Felix.’ ‘I still can’t believe you let him get away with it. You had a reason to kill him legally, but you didn’t, he closes the door and sits on the other side of the desk. ‘I know,’ I groan. ‘Why?’ I glare at him. Can’t he see the obvious reason? ‘Esther feels like Felix is the only one wh

Willow It has been two weeks since our encounter with Liam, and I keep pushing the questions that bother me to the back of my mind. I can’t completely ignore Liam’s words, but he could be lying like the psycho he is. Leo and I have fallen into this comfortable relationship. I don’t know how it happened, but most of my stuff is at his apartment. We are sitting comfortably on a couch, watching TV, with my head resting on his shoulder. “Are you telling me that Liam was one of thw wolves bear-sprayed, when I bear-sprayed those wolves at Carkeek Park?” I ask him. “Willow? Is that a smile I see on your lips?” He gasps. “You are a little devil, you know that.” “Me? It’s not a smile.” I bite my lower lip. “It’s okay, you can laugh.” He laughs heartily, and I pause mid-laughter, staring at him. “What’s wrong?” he raises his brow. “You look so happy,” I smile. “I am,” he grins before kissing my forehead. * In the morning, we eat breakfast at a restaurant, and Leo heads to his lab, wh

Willow Leo kisses me, unzipping the back of my dress my dress. We continue to kiss when the dress falls, as he cups one of my butt cheeks. I unzip his pants, letting them fall on the floor. We move to the couch without breaking the kiss, and he sits on the couch, letting me straddle him, my eyes widen as I feel his bulging manhood, suddenly feeling nervous. “Should I stop?” He whispers, and I shake my head in response. He kisses my neck while he lets out a primal growl. His breath on my neck feels a little ticklish, but it makes me want him more. He holds my butt as we kiss on the lips, and then his hands caress my back as they move upward to unfasten my bra, exposing my breasts. He kisses one of my breasts, and I moan as he does. “Leo,” I exhale. His hand is on my back, pulls me close to him, letting my opening feel his cock. He uses the fingers of his other hand to circle my nipple, while his mouth is on my other breast. I just gasp, feeling helpless while my whole body resp

Willow “Mine!” He growls, his eyes wide and his gaze on the door. This is followed by a soft tap on the door, and I look from Jeremy to the door. “My mate,” he rushes to open the door, and we come face to face with a woman who is about 5’7”. She is a redhead with beautiful freckles on her nose bridge and the sides of her nose. Her eyes widen, and she presses her lips together. She stares at Jeremy who has calmed down, and looks at her as if he doesn’t believe she exists. She looks mad instead of surprised, then she abruptly walks away. Jeremy stands still, whimpering as if he is in pain. I close the door, facing Jeremy. I pull my by his hand, and he seems to be following me mindlessly. I make him take a seat, and he does without saying a word, as if he is a zombie that is following commands and there is a part of him that is gone. I run to my dresser to grab my phone, and I call Leo, hoping that he picks up. “Willow?” “I need you in my dorm room. It’s Jeremy.” “What happene

Willow “Someone is knocking on my door,” I whisper. “Open the door, but don’t hang up yet.” “Hi, Professor Malino.” I say as I open the door, my hands shaking a little. “Come in.” I hang up on Leo, satisfied that at least he knows who it is. She awkwardly stands in the centre of the room, looking around as if lost. I offer her some refreshments and she shakes her head. We take a seat at my table, and I try to read her face, but it is blank. “Willow, I’m sorry had to see that,” she exhales. “Do you at least have an explanation?” She nods. “I have a confession to make.” I watch her expectantly. Waiting for her to continue. “I haven’t told Leo this, but my sister is suffering from vampire syndrome.” A tear trickles down her cheek. “Oh my God! Professor, I’m so sorry.” “It’s okay. I’ve been doing research and I think I was a little desperate to find a solution. She is getting worse every day.” “Professor, I know how you feel.” I sniffle, unable to contain my tears. “But we st

Willow As soon as the door opens, I run towards Leo, and I hold him in a hug, crying tears of relief. “I’m okay,” he whispers, putting his arms around me and kissing my forehead. When I have wiped my tears, he glances at the beakers on the table. “What were you doing?” He motions towards the table. “I got bored, so I decided to test myself,” I shrug. “And?” He smiles, but the smile doesn’t reach his eyes. “Just as I suspected, I’m clean, look.” I pull him by his hand and lead him to one of the computers, which shows my results. “Hmmmm. Is that the only reason you tested yourself? To show me you are clean?” He raises an eyebrow, a corner of his mouth tilting up. “Of course not, I’m going to give these results to Jeremy.” I retort. “I suspected that,” he chuckles. “Why would you suspect that I wasn't clean? I told you I haven't…”“People sometimes get infections from toilet seats, and I felt like what you did was a reckless move. I've had sex. Shouldn't you have asked for pro

Esther“Uncle,” I look from Uncle Felix to Louis, guilt gnawing at me. “I couldn’t do it.” I shake my head.“Not this again,” Uncle Felix mumbles under his breath.“Again?” I ask, confused.“Yes, again!” He snaps. “You do this every damn time! What was your reason for not rejecting him this time around?”“I, I just couldn’t do it.”“I can’t do this,” he says, getting up and pacing the room, pinching the bridge of his nose. “I can’t deal with any of it. I wish I were the one who had died so that your parents would be the ones to deal with this mess. Being responsible for someone as selfish as you is tiring.”“I will reject him.” I don’t care about the desperation in my voice. It’s hard to see my uncle’s opinion of me changing and him losing his trust in me. “I just need a little time and patience...”“I’ve been patient long enough,” he hits the table. Louis and I get out of the way in time. We watch the table crumble, causing the dishes and plates to scatter on the floor, some of them

HildaWe decided to stay in a hotel in London to avoid letting other pack members get attacked by Felix’s army. We are all silent and pacing back and forth in the living room of the penthouse when the elevator doors open and Alpha Dominic walks out of the elevator, his face marred with a look I cannot describe. “Dominic!” Jane rushes to his side. “Goodness! You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”“I might as well have.” He looks down at her. I’ve never seen Alpha Dominic like this before. It almost scares me. He looks broken and helpless. “You saw her,” Jane says. “I met her,” Alpha Dominic nods. “We are too late.”“We will find it,” Valerie says to him. He doesn’t reply. Instead, he sinks into the couch and glances at Aiden, who is sitting on another couch. Aiden’s eyes drop.“Don’t feel guilty, Aiden,” Alpha Dominic says gently. “I shouldn’t have left her,” Aiden says in a low voice. “I was supposed to protect...”“They would’ve killed you!” Alpha Dominic interjects. “I’m glad that

EstherI’m the one who stands on my tiptoes, and I wrap my arms around his neck. He kisses me back, but then I pull away. This feels wrong, even as I try to justify it by saying to myself that I’m doing this to distract him and weaken his defences. “I’m sorry,” he says. “No, I’m the one who kissed you first.”He puts his arms around my shoulders, holding me and kissing the top of my head. I don’t make any effort to move away. He is the first to let go. Then, he places his index finger under my chin and looks into my eyes. “What are you doing?” I try to snarl at him, but it comes out as a whisper. “Looking at you.” His eyes are dark, and there’s no smile on his lips. I have to kill him before it’s too late. He might be putting a spell on me through his beautiful eyes. I kiss him hungrily. He kisses me back, his hands on my waist, and I place my hands on his chest, ready to use this opportunity to get it over with. He doesn’t seem to mind, he pulls me closer. I have no idea how my

Esther“What do you think?” I snap. “I think you won’t succeed,” he vibrates behind me with a chuckle.“Let me go so that we can see if you are telling the truth.”“If you want me to let go, you have to promise to leave with me.”“You want to kill me.”“No,” he sighs. “If I kill you, I die.”I try to think of where and when I heard these words. I know I heard them somewhere, but I forgot where. “These words sound familiar.”“Because they are familiar,” he drawls. “Let me guess, we were together in a past life and you said those words?”“Something like that,” he chuckles. “This isn’t funny. I don’t know what I did to deserve you as a mate. You are one person I really hate.”I feel him stiffen, but he doesn’t say a word. “Please let me go.” I feel the energy of witches, warlocks and werewolves in this room, as if they are not far away. The room looks like a hotel room, and the white curtains are closed. “Where are we anyway?”“We are in a room in the forest. When they found out you

Esther“Do you know where Dominic is so that I can kill him?” I ask. My uncle’s face lights up at these words. He is biting back a smile. “It’s good to have you back, Esther,” he grins. “I’m glad I’m alive, but I wish I woke up to better news.”“Seeing you like this breaks my heart,” his jaw clenches. “It’s alright. We’ll be fine. Do you have anything that I can use to get a whiff of Dominic’s scent?”He nods. “It’s a shirt that I found somewhere. I will hand it to you before you leave.”“Do you know where Dominic could be?”“He is hiding in London, but we can’t just go get him there. We don’t want to catch the attention of mortals.”“Why haven’t you killed him though?” I ask. “I almost forgot that you don’t know much. He is called ‘The last lycan’ and he can’t die. Believe me, I tried.”“That’s why you gave me that reaction when I said I was going to kill him. You think I’m crazy.”“Actually, no,” he chuckles. “You are the only one who can kill him as his mate.”“I’

Esther “Hi.” Someone is sitting on a chair next to my bed, and he’s almost smiling. The scent is familiar, but I can’t recognize him. “Who are you?” I sit upright. “This hurts more than I thought it would,” he places a hand on his chest. “She really doesn’t remember me?” he mumbles. “You look familiar, and your scent is familiar.” “That’s because you know me.” His smile is a little tight. “I really have no idea who you are. Where’s my uncle?” “He’s on his way.” He gets up and walks towards the widow. “I’m your husband, Esther.” He is looking outside. “Husband? We got married?” “Yes,” he nods. “You’ll remember me when you get your memories back.” I stare at my supposed husband, waiting to feel something, but it feels as if I’m looking at a complete stranger. He looks very pale, his chestnut hair is well-kempt, and he’s wearing a suit. “How did I end up here?” I ask him. “And this is going to sound strange, but I don’t remember your name.” He turns around, smiling and sh
