TERESAIt was almost dark, but I didn’t care. My thoughts were so chaotic that I needed an escape. And what better escape than taking photos of such a wonderful sunset? Riverview Walk was the perfect location.Quiet, no one around who could disturb my senses. Only me and my camera. That was what I ever needed. Nothing could scare me so easily, but what happened to me the other night was something out of this world.Thank God Sebastian was there. And suddenly I remembered he said not to involve God. I did not tell him, but I smelled around us when it happened, some kind of sulfur or something.Although my mind wanted to block that kiss and recall only the fear I went through, it was impossible. So I wanted to clear my guilty thoughts. Those same thoughts would not let me sleep since that night.The darkness was coming faster and the full moon already regained its place up in the sky and was so wonderful to watch. As the light faded to black, I could still see in my mind the green grass
LUANA“You filthy beast! You mixed up big time, TWICE!” I was so damn pissed off. My eyes became red as fire, darting this worthless lowlife. The urge to kill overwhelmed me again, but I had to restrain it if I wanted to know more info about what happened in that alley and in the park.“Please, my Lady…”“Lady, my ass! This will cost you dearly!”My anger was rising and burning my insights like an inferno. I have never felt such rage since the day they banished me from my Kingdom and my life took that turn. And I never licked my wounds, but made them my strength, my reason for revenge. “Get out of my sight!” I shouted at him, pointing to the door. I returned to Wales for a few days to put my thoughts in order, to understand my vengeance, and to settle down some details for my next attack. But this time I shall do it myself. If I want something done right, then I must do it alone. Wales had always been my refuge. Here was where the complete nightmare began and also where I would end
LETTICEHis eyes gleamed with anger and despair. He wanted to cry, but I fueled his inner anger so much that the regret and resentment were stronger. There was a great deal of hidden emotion behind those words he had thrown at me. I didn’t have the time to avoid it. Instead of waiting for the inevitable to happen, I held out my hand again, this time a little more demanding. As he did not take it voluntarily, I grabbed his forearm and jerked him towards me.“Then you definitely need to come with me!”“Where? What is that I don’t understand?... Where are you taking me?” he complied, seeing that I didn’t respond, and I was practically dragging him after me. I didn’t want to do this, but he gave me no other choice.“To the dungeons!”Passing through the walls of the fortress, it shocked Noah to hear screams from beyond them. But I didn’t have time to explain. However, he could not understand until he saw the truth with his own eyes. It may be painful for him, but he left me with no choi
TERESAThe horrible image of the beasts running one towards me and the other behind me has not yet disappeared. I didn’t even know how I was still alive. Maybe the beast coming from the front took pity on me and spared me. But where was I now? Everything seemed so familiar to me. The same bedroom bathed in this warm light, the same satin bedding, the same lovely scent of tobacco and vanilla… God, the same man who saved me from drowning and gave me a job in his company then defended me on that dark alley of something or someone I didn’t know if it was real. The same man who kissed me to drive away from my fears and made me fall in love so that now he can scatter all my fantasies with his grotesque appearance. Sebastian Gallagher, the werewolf from hell. He was staying in the door frame, contemplating me. I gazed at him with fear and at the same time with caution, as I had nowhere to run in case he would attack me. I accepted my fate and resigned myself, immersing myself into the sof
SEBASTIANIf anyone had warned me three years ago that approaching another woman would mean nights of anxiety, anticipation, and a wonderful feeling, I would have said it was not the time for dirty jokes. And if he would add that the one who also three years ago spilled the glass of wine over my white shirt in the evening when I tied my destiny to Isabella’s, was my soulmate, my Luna, I would have told that person to say that aberration to someone else.Now everything was so unclear and yet so simple. To love was very simple. To keep the flame of passion was the real challenge. We started pretty ugly and continued even worse. Someone was following Teresa and the only evidence was a forgotten diary in my mother’s drawer, which she ignored I had taken away. The horror part of this entire story was the transformation of a werewolf into a much more dangerous beast. And the beast was none other than our great-great-grandmother, Lettice Hewitson. Something did not connect here, and the o
TERESASo many things had happened in the last few days that I felt like I was living in a nightmare. I knew I wasn’t dreaming, but I didn’t want to embrace it as my new reality. Everything hurt me both physically and mentally.I didn’t even consider my headache now. Two days had passed since the revelations that changed my life forever. Now I was just a woman chased by beasts that God knows what they wanted from me.Today I thought a lot about Sebastian’s mother, Dorothea. The woman wanted to do good by protecting her children, but made things more difficult.For a second, I remembered my mother. Her face was so far in my mind that I could barely recognize it. Long soft hair, the smell of amber, soft eyes, a bright emerald green, just like me. All I had left of her was just her name and a gold chain with a locket.It should have been the face of my parents in it, but it was empty, incomplete, just like my soul. Jessica, the name that still gives me shivers and heals me whenever I rea
TERESA“What do you mean, moving in with him? Is this man crazy?”Sebastian’s proposal outraged Caroline as well. And how could she not be? She didn’t understand why he had asked me that, but it certainly raised the same question marks to her, too.“I don’t understand him either, please, believe me, Caroline, I’m trying but it’s beyond my powers,” I said, thinking that if I chose the version of the truth, it would be a shock for her.I could hardly believe it myself, knowing about their existence. Caroline was more skeptical, but I got convinced that when she would find out, things would not change between us.On the contrary, she will remain by my side, especially after the attacks I survived, and certainly would help me understand these Alpha-mate aberrations. Caroline had come before 8 o’clock to have coffee with me in the morning. She used to do that, but nothing warned her that today she would meet with such an unpleasant surprise.Even though we were only talking, the atmosphe
TERESAAfter Sebastian’s confession, I didn’t feel any lighter. No way! Just more terrified of what everyone threatened will happen. Demons on my trail, serums that miraculously heal, and on top of that, I remembered how on the night of the attack in the park I gained some inexplicable powers.My running faster added more mystery to all of this. I felt like I was floating, but at the same time, the adrenaline invaded my body and I knew then that nothing could hurt me. And in the middle of my thinking vortex, Sebastian popped his head into my office. “Hey, good morning. If you are not busy right now, I want to invite you to the lab. Luana will give us a demonstration. I’d like you to see how a prototype serum works on me. "As soon as I understood, I jumped out of my chair. I knew this meant he would injure himself and use the serum to see if it worked. What was on this man’s mind? Maybe the times that would follow were darker than I imagined.“You mean, like, trying it on yourself? B
