Esther“Let’s fuck for one last time,” the words tumble out of my mouth before I get a chance to stop myself.“What?” His eyes darken.“Well, I figured that since Pretty has a mate, we should probably...” I trail off. “Probably do what?” he arches an eyebrow.“You are doing this on purpose,” I groan.“I want you to say it,” the corners of his lips slightly curl up.“Uhm, I said, can we please fuck for one last time? Pretty has a mate, so I want to have sex with my mate.”“What you’ve just said is such a turn on,” his pupils dilate. “That wasn’t me,” he shakes his head. “That was Apollo.”I get up and stand in the nook before facing him fully. I straddle him and place my arms around his shoulders. He quietly watches me, and then he puts his hands on my waist. I smile when I feel his bulging manhood. He just stares at me, his face unreadable, and I stare back. In all my three hundred years of existence, I’ve never felt this way around anyone.“So, right now, you want us to fuck?” he s

Esther When the elevator doors of the top floor open, Dominic and Pretty’s heads snap in my direction. The tension between them is palpable. I take a single glance at them and head to my room without saying a word. When I close the door, I come face to face with Dominic. “Ugh!” I groan. “You don’t have to show off. I get it, you are fast.” “Where were you?” He asks quietly. “Out?” I say nonchalantly. “You decided to go outside even when almost everyone is accusing you of attempted murder?” He growls. “You are doing this again, doing exactly the opposite of what you are told to do. Didn’t Hilda tell you to stay in your room?” “Are you seriously scolding me right now?” I roll my eyes. “Yes! I might as well do, because you never listen. If you have a death wish, will you please wait until you are at the Du Pont Forest or the Carnegie Forest? At least, I won’t be responsible for you.” “Lucky for you, I’ll be out of your hair in a few days, and you will no longer feel the burden of

Dominic I try to read the emails from other alphas who have suggestions on how we should approach the vampires, but my mind is occupied by something else; Pretty. After rescuing Esther from Henry’s clutches, and after my meeting with Aiden, Josh notified me that Pretty has been sneaking around with Kevin. Kevin is Elder William’s son, who happens to be Pretty's fated mate. She confessed that she loved him, and I told her I didn’t mind their relationship. I offered to set her free and keep my alliance with Oscar, but as expected, she refused. If I weren’t immortal, I would think she is plotting to kill me and take over with her mate and her brother. ‘See? I told you that she is no good!’ Josh sends me a mindlink. ‘Pretty? What has she done?’ ‘No! The Vampire.’ He knocks on the door of my study. ‘She has a name! Come in.’ ‘Not after what she did!’ “Are you going to tell me?” I snap. “We found wolfsbane in a salad in the main kitchen,” Josh closes the door, and holds on to the

Esther Great! From now on, I must either sleep with one eye open or I must not sleep at all. “Princess Esther, how are you feeling?” Hilda’s expression turns serious, diverting my attention back to her. “Well, here I am,” I shrug. “Let’s go to my apartment. I want you to tell me everything.” “Are you sure?” “What do you mean?” She frowns. “You are not going to eat me. Are you?” “Ha, ha.” I roll my eyes. “Let’s go then.” She pulls me by my wrist. “You know that Josh hates me, right?” I ask as we walk back to the pack house. “He doesn’t hate you.” I raise my eyebrows. “He is just being protective,” she protests. “You two are going to argue because of me.” “I’m allowed to make my own choices. He knows that, and he accepted that I’m not going to let you roam around alone.” “Why?” I ask. She looks around. “I’ll tell you when we get to the apartment.” We practically stroll to the pack house, and she gasps as I tell her about Henry, how the plane fell into the water and how

Esther ‘For what it’s worth, princess. I really loved you, and I hoped that one day you would love me back, but it was always him.’ Henry’s words replay in my mind, or more like haunt me. Those were his last words, and I wreck my brain trying to make sense of the meaning behind those words. I have just opened my eyes. Dominic and I are cuddling for one last time, I suppose. I stay in position, not wanting to move, as a single movement might set him off and remind him that I’m not the one he is supposed to be cuddling. The interrupting sound of a knock makes me sigh and almost groan in frustration. The moment the scent alerts me of who it is, I instinctively get out of bed and head to the window, wearing Dominic’s t-shirt. “What are you doing?” Dominic looks at me from the bed, showing no intention of moving. “Leaving,” I whisper. Pretty knocks for the second time, but Dominic still seems unbothered. “Your scent will still remain in here, and I also smell like you.” He says non

Dominic “No!” Henry shakes his head. “If I can’t have her, no one can.” “Henry, this is unnecessary,” I try to sound as calm as possible. “You are all going to let me go with her, or I’ll rip her throat out.” Henry’s eyes are wide and a little dangerous. “You don’t understand, I love her with all my heart.” “You are going to rip her throat because you love her so much?” I raise an eyebrow. “Because I can’t live without her!” “Henry, listen...” I say, although I really have no idea what I have to say to calm him. “No!” he interjects. “You listen. Esther is mine.” He digs his nails into her neck, and blood oozes on the sides. “I know you are fast, but you won’t be fast enough. By the time you get to me, I’ll have her throat in my palm.” “What do you want us to do?” I try to calm Apollo, who just wants to protect his mate and he is fighting for dominance. “Leave, get in those cars and leave us,” he motions towards the wolves surrounding him. “Stand back, everyone,” I say author

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

So, here's a little fun fact since we are saying goodbye to THC club and limbicus: Mike named THC club after Tetrahydrocannabinol which is the main ingredient in marijuana. When he started the club, he was earning money through marijuana until he found limbicus. Then limbicus as stated is previous chapters was created for The limbic system, it was going to be developed into an antidepressant, but it wasn't developed further or tested further, and it just created temporary fix and addiction, and some people in the clubs spiked other people's drinks with it. Sorry guys, I'm a little nerd🙈. So, that is the end of our story about this drug business. We are about to witness more about the packs and their dynamics. Who is the real Professor Malino and what did she do to Mike? Where is Liam and what is he plotting?

Leo I call Romeo and I ask him for undercover bodyguards who would be working outside my lab, and at least five more who would be going with me to Mike’s club. When I've ensured that the bodyguards for Willow are on campus, I meet Romeo at the gate on campus. I get in a car he is driving, and the bodyguards' car follow ours. The drive to THC is filled with arguments as gives me reasons why killing Mike is the right thing to do. We find the club closed, and Mike’s bodyguards standing outside. “Our boss doesn’t want to be disturbed,” Marcus folds his arms. “Get the fuck out of my way!” I growl before throwing a punch at him. I leave Romeo and the bodyguards to deal with Mike’s goons while I make my way to his office. I barge in without knocking. “Get the hell out of my study!” Mike growls, standing at the centre of his office, holding a bottle of whiskey. Mike never drinks from a bottle. I always find him sitting behind his desk, acting all important, calm and confident. I look
