AlexaHere he was again, in his unearthly glory, his dark long hair in a braid, his silver eyes glinting.Why was I getting weak in the knees for someone who could possibly have been the reason for my being here—which I knew was nothing but the truth?“Were you crying?” His voice spread across my hearing sense organs like wildfire.His eyes drew me in, melting me in their unfamiliar warmth. I remembered him at the mall, the ball. I wanted to believe all—well, most—of what Lucy had told me were lies.His voice still echoed in my head: “I will make you mine, Alexa.” The way he challenged Kendell—everything seemed to turn me on. But how the heck was I feeling this way?I should walk up to him and give him a befitting slap, yell at him for taking me against my wish, for conniving with Lucy—Moon knows for how long.His feet came closer, and now we were just a breath away. Hell, we were sharing the same air, and it was as intoxicating as it was scary.His slender pale hands walked down my f
AlexaWhat a dream I had seeing Lucy and all the crazy stuff that happened. I thought as I held onto my head. If it wasn't for the fact that I didn't want to sound weird, I would have woken up with a laugh. But then it all struck again—it wasn't the crappy little bed I was used to at Trisha's home."Surprise, surprise!" a voice erupted, causing me to fling my eyes open.There she was, sitting on a chair right beside me on the bed."Lucy?" my words barely made it out of my throat."How could you?" I asked, tears threatening to flood my eyelids, but I wouldn't let them."Oh please, stop being this pathetic bîtch, Alexa..."A two-edged sword would have better plunged my chest than to have Lucy's words hit me. Not Lucy of all people. One of the few I had considered friends.I had loved her like a sister, and now it hurts—it hurts so bad."Why?!" I steadied myself this time, not wanting to give her smug face the satisfaction she wanted.She laughed a bit, "What you should be asking is 'why
Hector"We have a problem we need to take care of, your eminence," the fashionista spoke."You mean now?" I retorted, still not sparing him a glance."Yes, and we have to act quickly.""Can't you see I just got Alexa back? Do you want me going out, leaving her behind?""You can trust me to keep her safe before you return, your eminence," Lucy bowed a bit, her face twitching into an unearthly smile.Huff... "After everything I saw... you still want me to trust her in your care?""Kia, if it's something you can take care of, please don't bother me.""It's about Dexter. He's being held hostage by a mysterious boss, and I don't want him dead yet," he admitted."Well, that seems to be a 'you' problem, not mine," I retorted."Dexter is the key to the truth. He knows a lot, and we can't afford for it to slip out of his mouth...""Are you sure about this?""Yes, your eminence."I scratched my head before turning to Lucy. "If anything bad happens to Alexa because of you, pray the ground swallo
Selene"No, Hector can't know I'm pregnant with his pups, he just can't. I needed to find a way out," I thought, and yes, I did find a way out—going back in time and making sure that never happened.He thought he had won Alexa in a few days, and my being pregnant was a good enough reason to give him what he wanted... The Salamanca's Palace the next day."Oh my, you seem so happy today, Selene. Tell me, what's the good news?" he remarked, his eyes glued to me like a magnet."Well, let's just say today is your lucky day. What do you say about us going to get Alexa?" I smirked as I took my seat."Wow, you seem rather excited for this mission.""Was I supposed to be crying?""Not really, just not used to seeing you this way.""Get ready, bring only your Beta and someone else. We don't need so many cowards. We are just after a person, not the entire Silver Pack village."He smirked as he whispered something into his Beta's ear."Are you sure about this, Selene? Hope this isn't one of your
Kendell"Leave Alexa out of this; she has nothing to do with this curse," I spat out. I wished I could see the face behind that voice to give him or her a good beating."She shares in your curse, Kendell. A mate to a beast is a beast also.""I am no beast, you bast***!"The voice went back to its normal default mode, laughing—its annoying, crackling laughter. "So tell me, what do I call you?" the voice asked. "Even your mate hates you and even put you in this position.""She was misled, blinded, and I will prove that to you if you could release me from this trap.""Well, since you have so much hope and trust in her, I will give you one favor.""And what's that?""If Alexa herself should confess loving you, maybe we could just work things out with the Moon Goddess," the voice said. Then everywhere became silent.So now, I just needed to get Alexa to confess to loving me. Well, that’s something achievable if I hadn’t been caged up here in this sleep.Now I had to count on my stars to kn
Dexter"And who the heck do you think you are to walk into my territory and claim to want my prey?" Irikah's voice was stern and sharp. I bet it could cut through even the mightiest of mountains."I am not a foe, but an ally of yours," the figure in the cloak answered.Oh my, I just lost another one.George had just regained himself, and before I could register it, his fist landed in my guts, then another."What did you say about Nana?" His eyes blazed again, slightly red.He held onto the rag I had on, almost ripping it off me.I chuckled lightly, "Well, I said Nana was damn good. I made her forget your name when I was done with her." I stopped to watch his face, and it was just blank, but I couldn't help noticing his hold on me trembled. "You should have heard the way she screamed my name, 'Dexter, harder, please, don't sto—'" I mimicked the scene in a voice like Nana's, but before I could finish, he sent another fist flying my way, to my lips. Now I was fully covered in blood."I s
