Chapter: Chapter 5AugustThe first thing I heard was the laughter.It felt so freeing, so pure, echoing all around me, the grainy feel of hot sand burning beneath my feet, the wind rhyming with the bubbles of it. It was coming from me.“You are so cheating,” I gasped, catching my breath for the millionth time. “How is it fair?”“I am not cheating, I am winning,” a voice answered back. It was male, strong and sure. “You just hate losing, August.”I threw my head back, running down the seashore as my chest hurt from laughing even harder. “One of these days, I will beat you, cheat.”“Oh will you?”Strong arms wrapped around me, lifting me clean off the ground. I let out a sharp squeal, pushing against his shoulders.“Put me down.”“Accept you are a sore loser,” he retorted. “Just say it, I am a sore loser.”“I am a sore loser,” I laughed. “Now down.”He dropped me, still laughing. The vibration rumbled from his chest to mine, striking all the way to my toes. I had never felt safer.I pushed his chest,

Chapter: Chapter 4August POVI walked into my house, kicking my shoes off as I closed the door gently behind me. The smell of fresh herbs wafted through my home, which could only mean one thing.“Garrett,” I called.My husband walked into the living room, a huge smile on his face. “You're back home,” he said, pulling me into his arms.“Yes, I am,” I smiled at him. “What are you doing?”“I promised you dinner,” he said. Garrett was so nice to me. I still recall when I woke up, seeing him for the first time.“Where am I?” I croak, my throat raw. It felt like my body had been out through the wringer, my head was on fire.“Take it easy,” the man beside me got up, holding my hands softly. “You shouldn't make any sudden movements yet.”I glared at him. “Who are you?”His lips tipped up. “Its a miracle you are awake, August.”August. Who was August?“It's me, Garett. Your husband.”That was so long now. I had grown to like Garett, even though he was still a stranger sometimes. He stayed with me throughout ph

Chapter: Chapter 3August’s POVI watched him storm into his office, the large wooden door slamming behind him. Everyone was silent, the room in a kind of weird pause.“Well,” I grabbed my purse. “It seems you were right, Penny. I'm going to go now.”“No,” Rebekah’s sharp voice cut through. “You are staying.”I blinked. “I am.”“Alright ladies,” Rebekah said, turning to the other women. “You heard the boss, chop chop.”Penny’s mouth dropped open as she turned to me. “You?” She shrieked.Girl, I felt the same.“Please sit down, miss…”“It's Mrs, actually,” I smiled, correcting Rebekah. “Mrs. Geoffrey.”Rebekahcs lips thinned. “Right, August. Just sit down while I get them outside please.”It took her more than twenty minutes to do that, and by the time she was done, I had started trembling, and regretting my decision. “Oh I don't think I'm going to stay,” I said suddenly standing up. “This might be a mistake.”“He has already chosen you, breathe.”.How could I breathe? How could a look shared with one

My latest assistant, let's call her Rebekah thirteen, was some doe eyed, trembling lips woman that seemed to jump at every instruction, and still manage to fuck it up.“Mr. Ginattoni—”“Do you ha

Chapter: Chapter 1August POVThe elevator door opened at last.“Hello—”The sobbing woman pushed her way in, her hands full with a brown box, yet stabbing furiously at the buttons. I barely managed to slip through the sliding doors, clutching my small back purse to my side.“Jesus Christ,” I hissed, turning around. That lady was positively distraught, and for a brief second, I could see a thin layer of hate through her red bloodshot eyes.Focus, August, I thought, slipping my smile back on. This was not the time to be an empath, although all the cells in me were itching to go back to her.No, this was the time to get my dream job.Okay. Maybe that was quite a stretch.I had just seen this job in the newspapers last night after all. My CV was certainly empty, and everything I knew about myself was handed to me on a platter by my beautiful amazing husband who I absolutely adore, Garett.So it was not my dream job, but it was a job.“Hi, I am here for the job interview,” I said, smiling at the receptioni

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-NINELyla’s POVMy sister's brown eyes glowed in the evening lights. In the space of a year, she had grown into a beautiful woman, and she was dressed like one too, a low plunge purple gown that brought out the richness in her hair and skin colour. She was almost as tall as my dad, so I knew she was wearing high heels.Behind her, a man walked, wrapping his hands around her waist. Silvia froze the minute he touched her, but she didn't move, her hands shaking nervously as Christian kissed her cheek.“Not now,” Emilio hissed, grabbing my hand. I did not even realize when I had moved. That devil, the demon, was so close to my baby.I had to kill him.Christian dragged her away from the top, whilst my mother and father still stood there. “I need air,” I croaked, rushing through the crowd. I heard my men chase behind me, but I don't stop, not till I'm outside in a garden, heaving.“He…he…he,” I stammered, the words lodged in my chest.“Deep breaths,” Achilles said, standing in front of me. “Suc

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-SEVENLyla’s POVI pulled the straps of the gown up, standing in front of the mirror. I looked nothing like I used to just a year ago. Green eyes, short black hair, long back gown that dazzled with the lights, black lingerie with the knives each of my men have gifted me over the time, a gun in my purse and red lips wearing custom made red bottoms. Even my shoes were a weapon. My eye shadow was so dark, the wing of my eye liner the sharpest I have ever done.Fuck, I was hot. I left the room after spritzing some perfume on my pulse areas, and walked down slowly. Each of my men were already dressed, and the pain of the last time I saw them like this flashed through my head.“It won't happen again, Lyla,” Achilles said, taking my hands. “I'm never letting you out of my sight.”“How did you know?”“Because I know you my love,” he said, kissing my cheek softly. “You're not the same woman anymore.”X came and stood close to me. “You look beautiful baby,” he said, kissing me.Isaiah came out from

We had been in this shop for more than an hour, and the owners were kind enough to send everyone away, except the workers. I almost drove a pen through the eye of a guard that was staring at Lyla, but that sweet ass in those black shorts, I guess I couldn't blame the man for taking a peek.“Emilio,” she groaned. “You are horrible at this.”“Maybe I'm just trying to help you look extra beautiful,” I threw my hands up. “Is that a crime?”“No, but I need a dress that fits,” she sighed and walked behind the curtain again. For some reason, Lyla refused to let me behind there, saying I should only see the rewards of her efforts and not the process.”I had a glass of whiskey I downed, tapping my feet in the empty room. Earlier, Isaiah had given us all earbuds for communication, and

Xiomar came down slowly, a huge, pleased grin on his face even as I sulked in contempt. “Shut up,” I hissed, walking past him. “I said nothing,” he laughed. I heard the sound of gravel beneath his booths as he followed me into the house. The apartment was quiet except the sound of grunting I heard coming from behind a door. “There in the gym,” I announced, oshsi g the door open. Achilles and Emilio were shirtless, their upper body in display and they attacked each other. The smell of sweat and fighting filled the air and clung to their skin, the difference between Achilles tattoos and Emilio's pale scars causing quite a disruption in my panties. Yes, I was still fucking horny. “Don't pout, Lyla,” X said, smacking my ass.

I could see how bloodshot her eyes were, but I couldn't care less. “You were crying over her, when she tried to kill you.” “Yeah, and she wouldn't,” blood stained her palms. I heard the sounds of a siren coming from below and I looked out the window. Sure enough, three police cars were speeding down the road. “We need to leave now, Lyla,” I hissed, dragging her away from the dead body. Lyla reluctantly gets on her feet, and then she follows me. “I hate you.” “That's all right, baby. You can hate me all you want, but right now, you need to move.” We ran

Chapter: CHAPTER ELEVENBaelithWhat was a little blood, compared to a few souls? What was death, when you could have life? What was peace, when you could be alive, all your loved ones dead, and you couldn’t bring them back, because you were trapped in your own very nightmare?I hated being a vampire.It sucked.That was the simplest way to put it. Crude. Inelegant. But accurate.Immortality was supposed to mean something. That was how they sold it, how she had sold it to me. Eternal life,power. Freedom from the frailty of flesh and time.She never mentioned the rot that came with it.The hunger.Gods, the ravenous hunger. It never left. In how many years since I had been turned, It didn’t matter how much I fed, how carefully I rationed, how disciplined I pretended to be.

Chapter: CHAPTER TENAlexandriaThat man was here. He still has the same intent look, and for some reason, I couldn't look away when he was speaking to Cassiel.But he was here.The man that looked like sin itself, so fucking dangerous, that I wanted to hump do badly was sitting down in this place with me. In hell.“Where did you know him from?” Alstra asked, confused.“He came to my mother's bar,” I replied, my voice barely coming out. “He came to talk to her…I think.”I should look away. But somehow, I could not look away.This was stupid. Dangerous. The kind of thing that got people noticed in a place like this. The last thing I needed was to be noticed by a bunch of rabid demons, to stand out to them, but how was it possible that the one man that made my mouth so dry was actually not human?No matter how much I tried, I could not look away.He sat across from Cassiel like he belonged there, like hell itself had carved out a seat just for him and decided not to argue about it.

Oh Mallory. “Wake up,” someone said, tapping my face lightly.“This is like the fourth time I am waking up like this,” I groaned, sitting up. Alstra smiled. “Well, according to Tenner, you humans can be very weak. She has told me the things to look out for , and bet I would.”Ugh. “Why does my mouth taste bitter?”“I kissed you.”My eyes flew open. “You what?” Alstra was in the middle of what seemed to be a room, and she was very very naked. “Chill,” she laughed, a tail swinging from behind her. “I wouldn't kiss you without your permission.”Oh my God.“Where did you take me?” I asked, getting up quickly. Blood rushed to my head but I did not stop, putting as much distance between us. “I won't let you kill me.”“Relax girl,” she laughed. Her skin was a grey colour, down to her tail that was crawling behind her on the floor. “Seriouly girl, chill out. Don

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHTCassielI swung the heavy door open, walking into my room. There was a distinct smell of blood and darkness, one. I knew there was only one person in this place that could enter here, smelling like that.“Hello, your highness.”I looked up, to where Baelith hung from one of the beams of the high ceiling. “You will kill yourself one of these days,” I muttered.“How wonderful that would be, Prince of Wrath, if I could,” he sighed. “Alas, stabbing myself with a stake did not work.”The vampire dropped to the floor, landing with a soft thud. I paid him no attention, walking to the table I requested be out in this room for me. Being a prince has its perks, and being the son of one of the rules had even greater perks.“What has got you in that gawdawful mood? You did not even say hello properly.”I looked up at my cousin with an eye. “Today is Orientation.”“Yes, that,” he sighed. “The day we have all been waiting for right? Finally, we are here, a chance to leave this place behind us.”Tha

Little growls came from every corner, Alstra waiting for a reply.“Hi,” I managed to choke out. “I am pretty harmless, and yes human.”“What did you do,” she said, moving closer, “to end up here?”“I do not know. I caught my boyfriend cheating and I had a car accident, woke up in the hospital and my mums had these freakishly huge wings on their backs and the doctor chased us, saying they needed to kill me and my mum made me repeat some words and I woke up here,” I waffled.“Gee, no one asked for your full story,” she laughed. “Huge wings you say?”I nodded. “Well, try not to get killed,” she smiled, walking away.The small crowd I was hiding with shifted away, and now I was very very alone in the center.Alstra walked back to the stage and continued speaking. “The academy was founded in the year of death by our master, ruler of hell and the king of all demons, Lucifer.

Chapter: Chapter SIXALEXANDRIAI did not know how long I had passed out. Or was I asleep?“Wake up,” someone kicked my sides roughly. “Wake the fuck up.”“Ugh,” I groaned, blinking rapidly. Where was I?The memories hit me. The accident, my mums screaming, me repeating the weird words. I sat up slowly, a dull ache in my head, confusion flooding my brain.I blinked slowly, trying to focus. My sides hurt, the place the person had kicked stinging and I sat up slowly, careful not to upset the aching parts.“Good,” a loud screeching voice made me close my ears. “You are awake.”“Am I?” I asked. “What happened?”“I don't know, but you need to stand up and get processed quickly.”I finally got my bearings. I was in what seemed to be a little room, all white. The person speaking to me was typing on what seemed to be on a computer, but there was something off about her.“Where am I?”“Like I said, Processing,” she groaned. “You're literally the first human here in a thousand years and I have post traumatic stress

His blood dripped down the floor, his howls getting louder. “Why did you leave him?”Everyone has scattered into different points of the dining hall, very aware of the last time I fought against another wolf.I closed my eyes. I needed answers, and as much as my wolf was screaming about her she wanted to snap his scraggly neck, that could not happen now.I drew her back into me, the pain almost knocking me down. Jerome was stood behind me, catching me before I fell even as George shifted back slowly.“You bitch,” he spat.“That is your Luna.”“She is no Luna of mine,” George answered. “She is nothing more than a plague.”“I do not care what you think about me George.

He did as she asked, quiet and firm. Donae met us halfway. “She is waiting for you,” she said. I nodded and went into the little room, where the shaman had been laying down since the news of Alex's capture got to us.“Clarissa,” she breathed. I held her hands, falling to my knees in the earth. “He took him, mother,” I cried, choking on my tears. “He's gone.”“Have faith child. Hello me up.”We helped her into a sitting position. Her eyes opened slightly, and she looked like she had aged a hundred years.“Jerome,” she said, greeting the Alpha.“Mother,” he curtsied. “I am honored to finally meet you.”“We met once,” she replied with a smile. “When you were just a little boy. It is a pity, the death of your mother.”The alpha said nothing.

The shaman had not woken up yet, and everyone was on the edge. “Do we have any ideas?”“No.” Daia’s voice cracked. “How could they take him, just like that?”I wiped the tears that were on my face. “We need to find Alex, and soon. Yomen would kill him.”“He wouldn't,” the shaman moved out slowly from her room. “Mother,” I gasped, going to her.

Who burnt down the village?My hands were tied behind my back. It was a strong knot. Someone moved close to me and I held my breath. They didn't need to know I was awake.“The Alpha fell into the trap easily. Yomen would be pleased,”said a voice.“You did well,” another voice I recognized to be the witch said. “What will you do with him?” the first voice asked.“None of your business. You've shown your allegiance to Yomen. Your village will be spared.” the witch replied. I heard grunts come from the other party and then silence again. I had to think fast. I struggled against the bonds, noticing the rope had silver twines. That would scar but it didn't seem enough to cut it off.“Do you think he's awake?” a woman asks the witch. “He shouldn't be,” came her reply. Then I heard her come closer to me.I counted deepl

My innocent friend, always quiet like a mouse. “She would have been better off as a human.”Donae glanced at me. “You can't decide that. It's her choice to make.”“How long do you think it would take them to return?”I shrugged. “I don't know. They've been gone a whole now.”Recently, I had been going down to the dungeons to look at my mother and talk with her. She never replied to me, but it helped me immensely that I told her.“I think we should do something in the village today. A lot of little riots have been happening recently.”Whenever wolves are far away from their Alpha, they tend to start bickering and they are extremely restless. Suddenly, fights come up and sometimes, chaos that even the return of the alpha cannot help the pack.“You should come,” Donae said. “You're his mate, they'll respect you

It made me hiss to even think so, but I guess what I missed the most was our banter. The back and forth. The feel of his lips on my skin, his rough hands pressed against my body, pulling me tight against him. I missed his fingers inside my body.“How long will they be gone?”I whined. “Girl please. You're acting like you're in heat.”Daia replied to me. We were sat at the edge of the cliff, after our daily run.I hadn't shifted or spoken to my wolf in a while, but I could feel her asleep in me. Sometimes it felt very surreal, to be able to be aware of a beast inside of you, hear it's heart breat—in perfect tandem with yours. “They'll be back soon. Alex is probably having to convince the Alpha there.”“Daia” a shout came from the bottom of the cliff. “
