Chapter: A SHAMELESS HOST(SERENE'S POV)The room was ice cold and the walls seemed to press in, suffocating me. A violent chill spread through my body, I felt like I was being pierced by cold needles."Wake her up!" an angry voice barked from above me."She fainted," a second voice replied softly. "Maybe she is just weak. She couldn't handle the bullying.""Are you insinuating I bullied a human, Gina?" The first voice snapped back, defensive. "Why would I ever do that?"Gina went silent."Eveline, bring it here."I felt it before it touched me, a basin of ice cold water was poured on my body. Surprisingly instead of the cold, I felt a fire rise deep within my chest, it was warm and protective. It caressed me rather than burned me.Then, a voice echoed from my lips. It sounded like mine, but carried a dark, commanding power that was definitely not mine. “I dare you to touch her again.”They went silent."I thought you said she was human!" someone whispered with panic in her voice."She is human, you dummy," th

Chapter: THE TOUR(SELENE'S POV)I froze. Did he really just say that? Out loud? In front of everyone? I knew Raymond was shameless, but didn't he respect anyone."Raymond," I gasped, my voice scolding him.He didn't even flinch, he kept watching me with a lazy smirk on his lips. "Yes, doll face?" He finally answered in a slow suggestive tone, then winked and walked away whistling.I stood there, my cheeks red from embarrassment."You know him?" Nanny Min asked softly beside me.I swallowed hard, watching him. "Unfortunately yes.""He is your boss."A commanding voice said, behind me. I spun around and came face to face with an overly composed and pretty brunette. Her dark brown hair was pulled back into a tight bun. She wore her uniform fitted like she was on a runway.Her eyes swept over me slowly, lingering on my ill fitted suit I had borrowed from Athena. "So you are the newcomer.” She asked mockingly. “Your starting salary is surprisingly high. Let’s hope you actually know your job, and didn't jus

Chapter: THE SILENT BREAK UP(SERENE'S POV)I switched the phone to a loud speaker and placed it on the bed."You didn't go to the hotel," Jonathan asked in a conflicted tone."Of course not," I replied, drinking my calming tea. "I didn't even make it halfway.""I am coming over right now," he declared and I immediately heard shuffling of fabric and muffled footsteps, followed by Claire’s soft and desperate voice. “Jonathan, wait, please..”“Do you think they are sleeping together?" I asked Athena, she stood in the doorway watching everything play out. Athena scoffed helplessly. "You really are the blindest woman on this planet, aren't you? Of course they are.""Really?" I asked again, it was really hard to believe the facts.Without answering, she gathered the legal documents I had got from that beast into a neat pile. "I never liked the bastard anyway," she muttered as she closed the door.Immediately she left, I stood up and turned toward the full length mirror. I sighed in relief when I saw red bruises from

Chapter: TO TRAP A LIAR(SERENE'S POV)I sat in my bed, going through the documents I had obtained about Claire Summers and the Sunset Hotel. I reread them again and again and still couldn't believe it.I actually didn't blame or judge her, but what my brain couldn't let go was Jonathan and her. “That bitch I will tear her to pieces.” My sister roared, she was a lawyer and she had gone through the documents, there was no way I could sue Lastwill. I didn't even care about him anymore. My phone vibrated and I struggled to find it. I had dumped my bag the second I got home and hadn’t touched it since. I had to lean all the way over the bed to grab it. My body aching from the pain of the previous night. “Hello?” I asked tiredly, my voice came out dry. “Serene?” Claire’s overly sweet voice vibrated through the phone. “Serene, are you there?” she asked again, her voice now panicked.I leaned back against my pillows and sighed. "Yeah, I am," I muttered. "Oh, thank God!" She gasped, dramatically. "Are you o

Chapter: NOT A LAST MEETING, MY LADY(RAYMOND'S POV)Detective York looked at her with deep pity. "Serene, please sit down," he said gently, guiding her toward a nearby chair. "I promise you, I am going to do everything in my power to get you justice."Seeing his arms around her, Rex growled possessively. Seth and Luke immediately exchanged terrified glances. Rex’s mental stability was the stability of the entire Werewolf clan."Mr. Lastwill, can we begin?" Detective York asked, his voice hardening as he looked at me. "According to the evidence I have right now, you look guilty."Luke began pulling legal documents from his briefcase. "My client suffers from a severe medical condition," Luke explained calmly, placing the paperwork on the table. "He is easily overwhelmed by intense physical urges. To keep himself mentally stable, he has a legal contract with a registered agency."Serene and Detective York leaned forward to review the paperwork."A sex addiction?" Serene asked as she turned to the detective. "Is that even p

Chapter: THE INTERROGATION(RAYMOND'S POV)I sat in my office, still stuck on the morning before, no matter how hard I tried, I could not push her out of my mind. I could still see her delicate lips trembling with anger and disgust as she stared at me. It was a shame she was a prostitute. A possessive thought crossed my mind, maybe, just maybe, I could find a way to keep her.“Raymond are you listening,” Daisy sat on my office sofa, her voice in the background. She was talking endlessly about different things, but I didn't hear a single word. I simply did not care about what she had to say. I was sure if I saw her in a crowded room, I wouldn't even recognize her. To me, she was just another girl.Unfortunately, the werewolf community was convinced that marrying Daisy and marking her as mine would temporarily calm the beast raging inside me. The entire Werewolf society was on the brink of losing its sanity. And me, as their leader, if I could stabilize my own inner wolf, it would buy us some time to find a cure.

Chapter: THE PARTING LETTER(ALEXA'S POV)We drove and stopped right in front of a place. It was a place I never imagined I’d set foot in again, yet it had been silently calling my name.The building was magnificent. It stood on top of a hill painted all white, with different sculptures all around it, a lot of cars were on the drive way, and the security was tight.I shivered nervously in my seat and glanced at Linsley, she gently squeezed my hand."Why are we here?" I asked, my voice trembling. "I thought we were all fighting against the Orchid. Linsley, how could you do this? Why did you bring him here?"She laughed softly. "Oh, Aconite, you really don't understand, do you? I would do anything for him." She stared straight ahead at the grand staircase, where Cole stood looking completely healthy and well based on the last time I saw him.Garary sighed beside us. "The safest place to avoid getting burned is right in the middle of the fire."I panicked, but before I could process what was happening, Garary spok

Chapter: A GUARDIAN ANGEL(ALEXA'S POV)I woke up to the sound of a moving car and the blur of passing trees. Luke sat beside me, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly as he drove at a high speed.“What are you doing, Luke?” I demanded, the anger rising in my chest. I seriously had alot of things to take care of and didn't have time for this.“You can’t go back there,” he pleaded, his voice desperate as he glanced over at me. “They have traps waiting for you. You need to listen to me, Alexa please, just this once.”I looked into his eyes, and saw something I hadn't seen in a long time, he was genuine. My shoulders dropped. “I know,” I said, desperate to make him understand. “But I have plans of my own. Let me out, I have responsibilities, Luke. I can’t let the Orchid use the Hunters to hurt everyone. We are supposed to be protectors.”“And you think I don’t know that?” he asked desperately. “You think I am just going to let the Orchid win?”“You?” I asked both shocked and mockingly.“Yes, me!” He slamm

Chapter: A PAWN NOT THE MASTERMIND(ALEXA'S POV)He simply shrugged, not even a shred of guilt in his eyes. “What is wrong?” he asked calmly.“What is wrong?” Rachel repeated, her voice full of fury. “You are cheating on me with her, with her…. Luke” She pointed a trembling finger at me.Luke didn't argue. Instead, he looked at me fondly. A cold shiver ran down my spine. Looking at his face, a sickening realization hit me. Instead of escaping this nightmare, I might have just locked myself right inside it.“We had an agreement, Rachel,” Luke said, his voice completely calm.“Are you really going to throw that in my face now?” She asked her face in pain and he nodded.She looked back and forth between the two of us, her lips trembling in disbelief before she turned on her heel and stormed off.I stared at him in disbelief. Luke let out a slow sigh.“She has no power to kick you out,” he said, his voice dropping into a firm warning. “You stay here. You are only safe inside these walls. Don’t try those foolish games again

Chapter: I MUST GO(ALEXA'S POV)A wave of coldness and fear ran down my spine, making me shiver.“Nombre… Nombre…” Rachel’s voice drifted in from the background, but my mind was distant.A firm tap on my shoulder pulled me back to reality. “Are you okay?” she asked.I stared at her quietly for a moment, my mind slowly piecing together where I was. Klaus and Iris were nowhere to be seen. Standing nearby was Luke, his brow furrowed as his eyes searched my face.Rachel laughed nervously to break the tension. “Sometimes she is like this,” she said. “But I still like her.” She turned back to me. “Go get me a glass of wine.”Glad for an excuse to leave, I almost ran out of the room. Just as I turned the corner, I stumbled straight into Luke’s chest. His hands caught me, wrapping around my waist tightly.“What is wrong?” he asked softly.I didn't answer, but I softly pressed my hands against his chest, trying to push him back and create some distance between us. Instead of letting go, Luke tightened his hold

Chapter: CONFLICTED RELATIONS(ALEXA'S POV)“Cousin?” Michael sneered, his voice judgemental. “As far as I recall, my father only ever had one brother. Did Dad Luke go off and father another bastard?”I stared at him down, my anger cutting right through him. “He is adopted,” I said, my voice hard and warning.Michael locked eyes with me curiously and began moving forward at an aggressive speed. Then he turned, his attention shifting to the doorway as Luke walked into the room with Adal.They looked at the room and sighed. “Dad!” Michelle called out softly. I thought she was greeting Luke but to my surprise she hurried past him and threw herself into Adal’s arms.A sharp gasp escaped in my throat, the striking resemblance suddenly clicked into place. The twins were the children the Princess of Lanka had lost fifteen years ago. I laughed softly at the realization. So Nicole had stolen those babies back then, no wonder it had been so easy for her to dump them on me to raise. I looked at Adal holding his daughter clo

When his strong attachment to me and icy distance toward her proved unyielding, she shifted her strategy. She was determined to win me over instead, she has gone as far as buying me gifts.I stepped into the living room and froze.Sitting together were four teenagers. Michelle sat with an undeniable royal elegance but I still recognized her immediately, I always would. Her hair was up in a neat ponytail pinned with a delicate blue ribbon.
