I wanted to move away from him but I couldn’t—I didn’t want to. I enjoyed being in his arms like this and I wanted more. That’s when I realized how intimate our positions was. I was in a silky ash short and a light Nike sports bra. This was getting too heated and intense. I feel good about myself for some reason, until I hear Dimitri’s raspy voice say, “I submit to you.” I jolt out of my reverie and find the strength to get away from him. I turned and saw Dimitri’s strong arm supporting my head, his skin brushing mine as I rolled over beside him, my back hitting the cool, hard floor before my head hit it instead, feeling warm and comforting.For what seemed like an eternity, we stood there looking at the ceiling in silence, neither of us turning to face the other or making any conversation, until at last he muttered something. He says, his voice strong and tight, “You never once asked who the blood on my chin belonged to.” I chirp gently, matching the response with his icy snicker, “It
Isabella’s POV I woke up a little after eight this morning due to my late night activities. Dimitri was sipping tea and thumbing through a news article when I went downstairs to the dining hall for breakfast. I say, “Good morning,” grab a seat, and get myself a cup of coffee.“Don’t you think it’s a little early for coffee? With a smile on his face, he asks. I answered him, “It’s never too early for coffee, and I need it to function properly.” He tells me, “Well, Lance and Gabe will be arriving today.” That I will finally be surrounded by some familiar faces was such wonderful news. “They’re going to be coming to the site with me to meet with the contractors and the architect,” Dimitri continues. Alright, I must go somewhere too. I informed him, “I’ll meet you all at the spot. There was an implicit fear in his eyes that I could read. I quickly added, “I’m just going to get some magical ingredients,” to calm his worries. “All right, take Tilda with you wherever you go. This place is u
“There is a very dark cloud approaching you, a darkness that knows no limit and whose only limit is limitless.” “I see an impending threat pursuing you right now. She took a breath and her eyes turned back to their typical shade of forest green. “Be cautious about who you trust and those close to you.” “What did you mean when you claimed that you and my mother knew what was going to happen? I enquired. “Your mother and I both saw visions when you were born. In our dreams, the Black Rose coven was about to end. Shota replied slowly, “We witnessed it happen and knew what would lead to the cause that would end us.” So why did you take action instead of doing nothing? Tell me,how come she didn’t stop it? With tears welling up in my eyes, I questioned. I attempted to make sense of it, but I was unable to. Why didn’t my mother stop it from happening if she knew how it would end? “Due to you. The coven made all of these sacrifices for you. Shota attempted to clarify, but I wouldn’t let it. T
The kitsunes were swift, faster than the werewolves I practice with at the pack, but they were no match for my witch skills, with Tilda and my back facing each other while I battled them. I chanted, “Exto vez rie enmorté,” and I snapped the necks of three Kitunes where they stood. I then focused my sight on one of the red fixes and sent a tremendous amount of psychic pain through its mind, causing it to fall to the ground and whimper in agony. This fight was never going to end; the more werefoxes we killed, the more reinforcements they brought, so we had to flee to the woods in hopes of losingthem. “This battle is pointless Isabella. They just keep coming back with reinforcement. You have to run,” the voice in my head advised. “Verimos les duspiro,” I say, casting a wooden stake that takes off and impales two foxes, opening up a passage for me to flee. I grabbed her wrist and exclaimed, “Tilda! We have to run away into the woods, quickly!” Her face was covered in blood from battling t
There were dead bodies lying about, some of them foxes. Isabella fought her way out of there; hopefully, the bastard didn’t injure her. I notice a piece of paper with a dagger pinned to it against a tree. That blade, I knew it too well, I remembered. I had killed Damien, Stefan’s elder brother, with the same sword. I take the note and read its contents, my eyes going cold. “Eye for eye” You can meet me where it all started. I’ve come to collect the loan you owe. My thoughts suddenly return to the early memories of everything. I was acquainted with Stefan, we were even brothers. Despite being a pure-blooded kitsune fox, he had the most compassionate soul I have ever met. Over the years, he became comfortable with being a wandering doctor, using his fox blood and powers from his nine tails to heal the sick wherever he went. He didn’t want anything to do with the supernatural realm. However, during his absence, Damien, his brother, underwent a transformation. Before he turned, Damien was
My mate is Stefan.” I could not have remained silent when he told me of the deed that that bastard Dimitri had committed against his brother. What does that mean to you? Surprised by her admission of Dimitri’s abuse of Stefan’s brother, I questioned. “Oh, you were unaware? I gazed at Dimitri as he edged closer to the table. Stefan laughed, “Just so like Dimitri to decieve and lie to those around him.” Dimitri wouldn’t dare mention all the vile things he had done to you. You are aware that my brother was killed by Dimitri within these exact walls of the castle? At last, he says, “He killed him in cold blood,” and I chuckle. I’m laughing so hard it hurts. Is that all? I have no doubt that Dimitri killed your brother for a good purpose. I know a Dimitri who would never kill an innocent person. I spit in his face, “He wouldn’t kill without a good reason.” I had faith in the Dimitri I was familiar with. I had faith in him.Stefan roared with amusement, “You’ve only known him for a month, an
Dimitri yells, “Stefan!” with murder in his eyes. “I intend to murder you! Dimitri snarls angrily. Stefan says, looking at Dimitri with a menacing sneer on his face, “Yelling won’t get you anywhere Dimitri, you have no authority here and I made you a promise remember. I swore to you that I would claim the thing you love the most, a life for a life, and a fox always keeps his promise.” Dimitri was staring at him angrily with a chilly stare. “That’s the look I was looking for. Dimitri Castellan. That is the look of a cold killer, I remember that look when you murdered my brother. Now you know how it hurts when the one you love is dancing with death. There’s only one way you can save Isabella, surrender yourself and let me do this world a favor by ending your life.” Stefan takes out the golden sword. Stefan left Dimitri to make a difficult decision between me and him: “Your life for hers. Choose.” With a fixed gaze, Dimitri first looked at the tip of the golden blade and then back at me.
Enough!” Stefan yells as he tackles Dimitri, knocking him to the stony surface in an instant. “You Dimitri Castellan don’t get to play the hero after all these years of being a villian.” He was furious. Lifting himself off the ground, Dimitri punched Stefan hard, sending him flying into a boulder.With a menacing look, Dimitri vowed, “I’m going to kill you.” Dimitri’s warning makes Stefan laugh and get back up on his feet. “For almost killing your dear Isabella? It’s a taste of your own medicine, What? You don’t like how it tastes?” Stefan cracked a sly grin. “Your brother was a madman and a despot. The nogitsune had power over him; it was its possession. “Neither I nor anyone else could take action,” said Dimitri angrily at Stefan. “He remained my sibling.” With equal parts anger and rage, Stefan growled, “That wasn’t a decision you get to make.” “Desiring my death won’t bring Damien back,” Dimitri said, attempting to talk himself out of what he was about to undergo. However, it will
Isabelle’s POV I saw Stefanie instruct the two new outlaws to spar against one another, saying, “MIKAYLA. YENNEFER. YOU TWO ARE NEXT.” I didn’t even try to sleep last night since I couldn’t. I couldn’t sleep because I kept thinking about the death threat I received. “Death will find you.” I literally thought about those words. I am aware that every assassin I have encountered who was sent by Red Circle enjoys using a sinister and enigmatic pseudonym name. Does the assassin who attempted to kill me last night have ‘Death’ as his alias? Yennefer and Mikayla fighting made me think. One of the new outlaws was Mikayla, a fiery fighter with a red hairdo. I saw her launch a vicious attack on Yennefer, who, to be honest, wasn’t even resisting. Even though she was slow and feeble for a wolf, she was still at the top of my suspect list. Do you recall how I had trouble sleeping the night before? Yes, I spent the entire night attempting to identify the possible identity of the red circle assassi
Dimitri’s POV Celeste told me, her voice dominated by terror, “Alpha, the lunar eclipse energy can be felt like no other. This will be the last eclipse before the eleventh blood moon, and I am afraid of the devastating dark tides it will bring.” Even I could sense the energy of the lunar eclipse, which was just two days away, crying out to and fuelling the darkness inside of me. Cessair was going to be more difficult to manage. The darkness with which I was cursed wanted to be known by that name. I looked up at Lance, who was also wearing a disappointed expression. “How about the lead we found with the shamans to break the curse?” I questioned. “It was another dead end. Alpha I fear that our only hope is Luna. According to the prophecy she would be our salvation, we have to believe that.” Alaric remarked, “Or our destruction. I say we find another way.” He needed to learn to respect my mate or I would have to teach him. I was getting frustrated with his loose speech. “What other way
And he ravishes my mouth once more after that, so I believe those lines are exactly what he needs to express his hunger upon me. He runs his fingertips down my abdomen until he reaches the delicate spot between my legs. “I’m going to fucking show you who’s the boss around here.” He smiles. I lay beneath him and felt his powerful hands grab hold of me. I was held and captivated by his ocean-blue eyes as they gazed into mine. He gave me his famous smile as he glanced at me.When I put my palm over his member, I could feel it become large and firm. His voice is filled with lust and desire for me as he continues, “I’m going to make sure you regret your decision.” Screw it! I wanted to feel bad about not urging him to stop. My tongue feels too large for my mouth, so I try to swallow but can’t. Dimitri runs his fingers along my lower lip as his gaze falls to mine. His touch makes me shudder, and his eyes soften just a bit. My heart was racing, and with out even considering it, I wanted to pu
Dimitri surprisingly awoke with a loud gasp. Immediately, his hazel eyes glowed and met mine. He looked at me with furrowed brows as I swiftly withdrew from his lips. I had waves of shame, but I didn’t give a damn. Now that he was awake, praise the moon goddess, that was all that mattered. He tenses up when Gabe embraces him tightly, taking him entirely by surprise. “Dimitri, you bloody bastard.” Gabe gives him a gentle shoulder punch. He gives him another hug for the hundredth time and pats her dark hair, saying, “Don’t you ever scare us like that again.” They were bound together by an unbreakable link.Krys grinned as Dimitri giggled softly, “I can’t make any promises that I won’t do this again.” Observing them both in this loving moment was pleasant. Hands on Dimitri’s shoulder, Lance remarked, “Good to have you back Alpha.” I smiled tightly at Dimitri as his eyes flitted to me. He kept looking me over from head to toe. His distinctive features were washed over with relief. Dimitri
My gaze is fixed on Dimitri in disbelief. “Don’t you dare lay a finger on her, or you will regret it!”. With death in his eyes, he threatens her, saying, “I promise you Saetani. if you harm her I’m going to rip you apart!” He was speaking the truth, and I could hear the anger in his voice. Saerah’s smile fades as she glances at him. She went over to him.“Isn’t this such a beautiful moment? Dimitri is finally exposing his true feelings for his mate. I thought you hated her but now you are even willing to risk your life for her.” Saerah laughed. “Shut up!” Dimitri bellowed angrily. His look was frightening. “I’m going to kill you, let the moon and the wind beat me witness. This is my promise to you Saetani!”. His eyes had a fiery appearance. They were on fire. Raising her long nails, Saerah exclaimed, “Are you impatient to die? Well, then, I’ll grant you your wish!” to Dimitri. “No,” I reply, as her lift her claws at my partner.“No!A rift formed on the ground as a result of my scream. M
I began to feel like my life was slipping away from me, so I pleaded, “Moon goddess, please help me.” I heard the ground and everything nearby tremble as a huge rumble erupted in the sky. “Isabella!” a growling voice says. The woman was flung off me right away. As I gaze at the person who saved my life, I gasp for air. I looked at my Lord. Dimitri was the one. However, was it truly him, or was it just a cruel joke from my drunken mind? He calls me “Isabella,” attempting to rouse me from my reverie.put my hand on my partner’s face. Finding it difficult to speak, I said, “Dimitri? Is that really you? Did you come to save me.” I see his thick red blood oozing out as he bites his palm. To get me to swallow it, he put his bleeding palm in my mouth. I initially objected, but he persisted and forced his blood into my mouth, so I gave in. He says confidently, “Yes Isabella, it’s me. Drink.” I silently comply, sucking and consuming his blood as if my life depended on it.was unable to stop once
I needed him now. But because no one was arriving, my calls went unanswered. A woman’s voice shouted, “CATCH HER!!!” from a distance.hurried over to the source of the sound. I noticed a group of werewolves, vampires, and witches. The woman in the dark robe was gathered around them. The woman under the cloak appeared to be in her early thirties, but I was unable to see her face clearly. How come they were all after her? There was a problem; I had the impression that I had seen this scene before. Yes, I do recall seeing this in my childhood nightmares, but I was baffled as to why. Since I was a child, this has plagued my memories, and I have never been able to comprehend why. I had no idea why I was having these dreams or what they meant. I knew it was more than a minor nightmare, but every time I tell my mother, she always brushes them off as nothing more. “Namek, how did you do this? You launched wars, slaughtered innocent people, and all for nothing. You committed serious crimes. Mor
I give in and suggest that we make a deal. “What do you want? Maybe we can both come to a compromise. I can offer you whatever you want, just name it.” Everybody would benefit from this. “Tempting, but I’m afraid I only want her. I was called and promised her precious soul. She is truly rare and special, I can feel it and I know you can too. Her soul would be delicious enough to satisfy me for years to come.” My pulse races. How dare she! Who is brave enough to promise her Mt mate? I was going to track out that individual and murder them all! She laughed as I sped forward,grabbed her by the throat, and slammed her hard against a tree. She grunts in anguish as I squeeze her neck, but a sly smile quickly appears on her face. “Don’t you dare touch her, she is mine!”. Her smile vanishes as I put a firm squeeze on her throat. “For someone who claims she knows my family so well, there is something we Castellan’s are known for and that is paying back our debts, we show no mercy to our enemie
Seeing her in this state was difficult. Vulnerable and asleep. I would be a crazy person if she were taken away from me, and I couldn’t bear to lose her. I must have been able to do something. With my full focus, Celeste began, “There’s only one way we can save her.” I grunted impatiently, “How?” Celeste asserts that before Saetani and the dreamscape consume her soul, someone must enter her subconscious and awaken her consciousness. If there was a chance to save Isabella, I would take it; it was worth the try.firmly said, “I’ll go.” For my partner, I was prepared to go to hell and back. Isabella had to live! I will not allow her to! “Alpha think this through. If you die the entire pack dies. We are all linked to you Sire.” Tilda had cautioned me. I shot her a glance, instantly cutting her off. She had little faith in me, which enraged me, but she was correct. Since they were all connected to me and shared my strength and power, my death signified the end of my pack. Nevertheless, I co
