ANMELDENClaude povāThere was a story I loved when I was a child.ā My voice cut through the chaos, calm, almost thoughtful. āI remember it too well.āāAhhh, my hand! My hand!āThe scream tore through the air. I didnāt even blink.āEvery night,ā I continued, as though I was having a normal conversation as the rogue dropped to his knees in front of me, clutching what remained of his arm, his severed hand still twitching in my grip, blood smeared across my face as his eyes locked onto mine in pure terror.āWithout fail, I made the old man read it to me. If he didnātā I tilted my head slightly, watching him, āI wouldnāt sleep.ā A low chuckle slipped from my lips. āIād just lie there. Staring. Waiting.āMy foot came down his head.A sickening crack.Silence.āA stubborn child, donāt you think?āA blur passed meāSilas and Lucien. They moved in and out of existence like shadows. One moment beside me, the next already behind another rogue. Bodies dropped before the mind could even register death. It
Lucien povAuthorās Note: Lucas is the Alpha currently working under Verek. He is the one whose beta disrespected Lucien, and Lucien cut out his tongue. The traitor.***āI miss her! Couldnāt we have taken her with us? I canāt deal with this anymore. I need my Lilith with me.āThat was Claudeās irritating voice again, groaning dramatically as he slumped against the car window, eyes closed, blonde hair falling messily over his face. He looked half-dead, as though life itself had lost all meaning.YetāMy eyes remained fixed on the chessboard before me.Cold. Dark. Unmoving.I didnāt spare him a single glance.For a moment, the car was filled with nothing but the dull clatter of wheels against stone and Claudeās endless moaning. The air was thick with tension, suffocating in its silence.Then, without a word, I reached forward and picked up my knight, sliding it across the board and placing it before Silasās bishop, taking his piece in one smooth move.Across from me, Silas sat with one
Lilith povEverything felt dizzy.I couldnāt breathe.It felt like I was drifting in and out of a haze, sinking deeper into a dark place that refused to let go, no matter how hard I fought to stay conscious. My eyelids fluttered closed, then open again, my vision blurry at the edges. I couldn't see anything clearly, but faint words cut through the fog, barely reaching my ears.āAre you saying we shouldnāt really kill her?! She killed Ivy and made Isla this way. My mate keeps repeating that her sister's death was her fault, wanting to kill herself because of what this bitch said. Letās kill her before things get worse, Leo. You didnāt fight her... sheās scary, way scarier than the leader.āMy eyelids fluttered again, struggling to keep them open, my limbs too weak to move. My throat felt dry, like I couldnāt summon the strength to speak, and I just sat there, bound, the ropes digging painfully into my skin. The darkness pulled at me again, like gravity itself. But in that haze, I saw t
Drevena pov Isla dropped instantly to the ground, gasping as she hit it. Her hands flew to her throat, rubbing at it desperately while she coughed, eyes already burning with rage. Her fangs bared fully now as a low, shaking growl tore from her chest. And then, they moved again. Both of them. George and Isla charged towards me with no hesitation this time. The air snapped tight as they lunged again from opposite sides, trying to crush me between them in one clean strike. I exhaled softly and chuckled, shifting just slightly to the side just as Georgeās claws tore through empty space where I had been standing a fraction of a second ago. At the same time, I tilted my head back, letting Islaās strike pass so close it cut the air above my throat. My feet barely moved, my hands stayed loose. Calm. Almost bored. āMmā¦ā I hummed softly, glancing between them as they immediately adjusted, turning sharply to face me again. āThatās better.ā A small smile curved my lips. āBut still slo
Drevena povāWho wants to play with me next?āScreams.Raw, piercing, terrified screams tore through the air as people ran for their lives. Bodies stumbled over each other, desperate to escape, desperate not to be next. The headless corpse lay sprawled on the ground, blood pooling beneath it, the metallic scent thick in the air but I didnāt spare it a glance.My eyes were fixed on the two standing before me.My preys.They stared back at me, fear and caution flickering in their eyes, the arrogance from before completely wiped away but that was the funny thing about humans.They feared what they couldnāt understand.They feared power.Feared anything stronger than them, anything that could crush them without effort but when it came to someone weaker?My lips curled slowly, stretching into something wide. Unsettling.My head tilted, my eyes flashing gold for just a second, sharp and unnatural. My teeth lengthened briefly into fangs before slipping back into place.They became the very
Lilith povLaughter.Slow, deliberate, and cruel, it spilled from Drevenaās lips.The sound made my heart pound violently against my ribs, a cold shiver crawling down my spine.I knew that laugh. Far too well.It wasnāt the one she used when we fought with the eldersā sonsāno, that time she hadnāt intended to kill.Thisā¦This was different.This was the same laugh from that day, the day she slaughtered those rogues and as I was shoved back into my own consciousness, my control slipping completely from my grasp, only one thought echoed in my mind.Those rogues were going to dieā¦a very brutal death.Dravena povSilence fell.A heavy, suffocating silence that swallowed everything whole. No one spoke. No one dared to move. Even the air itself felt tight, waiting⦠anticipating.And in the center of it allā¦was me.All eyes were fixed on me as laughter bubbled up my throat before I could stop it. Low at first, then louder. Wilder. I threw my head back, my shoulders rolling as it spilled out
Lucien povāYou guys need my help, but apparently your brother wants to kill me. Haha, youāre some hosts, arenāt you?āThose were the words that rang in our heads as Silas and I sat in the study, half-buried in paperwork.It was Verya who had spoken, and neither of us gave much of a reaction.Clau
Lilith pov Kael looked stunned, Seraphina looked like she wanted the ground to open up and swallow her, Claude looked like he was having the time of his life, Silas and Lucien just stared coldly at the scene, and Abraham stood beside me without a word, his face blank, though I caught the nervo
Lilith povMy head felt fuzzy, a complete mess. I couldnāt breathe as my chest tightened, my heart pounding as blood rushed hot through my veins. But worst of all, my pussy throbbed almost painfully, soaking my panties, begging to be filled, aching to be touched, desperate for release.Oh Goddess,
Lilith pov I stiffened as soon as I heard that voice in my head. It was the same as that day when I was leaving the Alphas room, the one that had whispered mates. Now, it whispered one word. Mine. I blinked in confusion, trying to wrap my head around it. Did I hear wrong? Or was I halluci
