Dominic’s eyes turned red and Aisel raised his finger, “I am here to talk. That’s all.” he gave us a Cheshire-cat grin. Even though the man looked quite old and harmless, I could feel warning signs ringing inside my head from his presence.“You better don’t try anything or I will rip you into shreds,” Dominic growled and I could hear Asphalt’s voice mixed into his. Was Asphalt alarmed by this man too?Aisel’s smile did not falter, “As I mentioned earlier, I am just here to talk.”“Why did you kill Dante?” I asked and he turned towards me. He was the only chance I had in learning witchcraft. Malphus was a good help, but not enough to fight uncalled situations like these.“I believe you know the answer already, my lady,” he said and my brows shot up.My lady?He placed his hand inside his suit and pulled out a handkerchief. He dabbed his face with it, “You see, I am just a simple butler, running all the errands for my Master.”Dominic narrowed his eyes into slits, “Who the fuck is that?”
SKYLAR’S POV“Jannet!” I shouted to call out her name, but there was no response. Concerned trickled down my spine as I ran forward through the corridor. The sound of pack fighting came from outside.He didn’t warn me about this. Damn that old man to hell!Now I couldn’t find Jannet. She was supposed to be in Dominic’s room. That’s where I told her to stay when I sensed Mathews from a distance.The sudden attack wasn’t an issue because Dominic had already trained the pack well and we had an upper hand when it came to strength, despite Mathews having more wolves than us. I realized why Dominic always said that the quality of the wolves mattered more.But I should have sensed Mathew’s real intentions. Despite not being up to Dominic’s level, Mathews was cunning and the best when it came to making war strategies. That was his trick of winning and I always lost to that when he challenged me.He knew everything about his enemies.“Jannet!” I shouted again but she was no where.Shit!I woul
SKYLAR’S POVThe thing was, when I put my thumb on someone’s neck…wait, was Carlo Winters going to win this night’s Wolf’s Got Talent? I hope he did. The farting with his mouth trick was dope.Mathews whimpered below me as I broke the barrier that protected him from my power and just one flimsy layer was left to peel off when black smoke appeared out of nowhere. It looked like a portal of sorts and before I could do something, I was pushed to the other side by some invisible force which made me crash against a mirror.Who kept mirrors on the corridors?! Damn Dominic and his bad choices regarding interior design!I felt a sharp pain on the left side of my waist and fresh red blood painted my hands when I touched the portion. My jaw clenched and Silver was ready to take over when I saw Mathew’s body being pulled towards the smoky portal like a black hole, until his body completely disappeared behind the portal.What on French fries was that?!The smoke in the portal spread around and en
SKYLAR’S POVI gave into the kiss, pulling her closer to me. I sucked her lower lip and slid my tongue inside her mouth, tasting her. She tasted heavenly and I was an addict. We broke the kiss after a few seconds, though I wanted more. But Jannet’s chest heaved in an up-and-down motion, panting for air so I controlled myself. She didn’t know how hungry I was for her. I usually kept a smile on my face, but in reality, it was just a mask. A facade to fool people into thinking that I was the easy-going one. But the truth was far worse than that. “Jan..” I said, running my fingers through her silky hair which cascaded down to her tits. I could see the outline of her buds hardened against the fabric of her dress and my cock sprang at the sight. “Yes?” she asked, her voice soft to the ears. “There are some things I want to tell you.” “Okay…” “They are about me.” my facial muscles hardened and she noticed it. She nodded, “I am ready to listen.” “Not now, some other day maybe,” I sa
JANNET’S POVI did my best to refrain from shouting at dad. It was early in the morning and usually one saw their parents sleeping or awake drinking tea and reading Wilfair Daily. But I had to witness my naked father sleeping with another woman on the couch. I blinked furiously, “Where’s mom?” “I don’t know.” he scoffed, putting on his pants, “She came home late at night and looked drunk. She went upstairs and then nothing…” My eyes widened and giving Skylar a small look, I rushed upstairs. I reached mom’s room and tried the door knob. Fortunately, it was unlocked so I pushed it open and walked inside. The stale smell of alcohol and cigarette filled the room, making the bridge of my nose pinch in distaste. The room was dark due to the closed windows. I pushed the French window open and let the air and light enter the room. My eyes fell on the bed where mom slept, her hair sprawled all over the sheet, eyeliner smudging her eyes. I moved closer to her and smelled the alcohol. God.
JANNET’S POV I blinked, my hair sprawled on the bed. My heart skipped beats as I noticed his passionate gaze on me as he hovered on top of me. I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer and his lips descended on mine. His warm lips molded perfectly against mine, devouring me as if he was parched for years. I moved my lips on his, nibbling and biting, trying to take control of him. The little flame of desire within, which started at my house, spread like wildfire through my whole body. We wildly kissed each other, our tongues dancing inside, battling for dominance. When we broke the kiss, my chest rose and fell and I stared at him. My fingers gripped the rubber band around his ponytail and freed his hair from it. His black hair fell on his face and shoulders, making him look even more sexier. I never thought that a man could look this good in long hair. “Aren’t you wearing too many clothes?” I asked, huffing and he smirked, amusement playing in his blue eyes. “Look at
AVERY’S POVI sipped the hot tea from the cup while staring at the space. I was trying to contact Malphus but to no avail. Where did the raven go? I could hear the faint voice of Dominic from the other room as he was speaking on the phone. I brought the cup close to my lips when a growl tore the air, startling me. Some of the tea spilled on my jeans and the hot sensation stung my thighs. I took a napkin on the table and wiped the liquid soaking my jeans. My eyes darted towards Dominic who stalked towards the living room, his jaw clenched. “What happened?” I asked in concern. “The office building…it's on fire,” he replied while his hand stretched to get his coat from the couch. “What? Was Mathews…” “No. It was Aisel,” he said and my frown deepened. That man had some balls to put fire to Dominic’s office building. But how did he even get access? I had been to Dominic’s office quite a few times and the security was tight enough to not allow a mosquito in without permission. I ro
Later in the day, Dominic was out of sight. I walked around the room anticipating what would happen in the ceremony. There was no way I could use a spell that would work on Aisel. Then, there was his master. I wondered who this person could be. Suddenly, the door to the room flew open and Dominic strutted inside with an aloof face, “The pack wolves who died…” I frowned, “Yeah?” “While bringing their bodies in, Asphalt was getting hungry and so he started to look for the souls. He found no trace of soul in their bodies,” he said and my jaw hung. “What?!!” “Typically, it takes a lot of days for the soul of a person to leave their body after they die. Asphalt usually consumed the soul during that period. The wolves died today.” he explained and I blinked in confusion. How was that possible? “Did Aisel try any special spell on them?” I asked. “That is what I am wondering. A body can be destroyed but not a soul. They can be either trapped or converted into a different form of ener
