Glozikes were female humans with a unique gift - they had a supernatural light within them, a light that could restore my eyesight. To get that light, I had to follow four rules:
I had to find a Glozike.I had to reveal my wolf self to her.I had to win her trust and her love. In simple terms - get her laid.And finally, I had to exchange eyesight with her.I had thought that getting a Glozike and swapping eyesight with her would be a simple task, but as the months went by and I killed eight women who had the light within them, I began to doubt my mission.The blood of innocent women stained my hands, and I was starting to lose hope that my task could ever be accomplished. The weight of my actions was beginning to take a toll on my conscience, and I wondered if I would ever be able to achieve my goal.All the glozikes I've met didn't make it past rule two. It was easy to get a glozike, but after revealing my wolf self to them, they got terrified, some were angry, and some even tried to reveal my identity to others. I had to unalive them, to protect myself and my mission.I walked into the club for the last time to try my luck. If I didn't find a Glozike tonight, I'd have to move to another city for a fresh attempt. My quota of ten deaths per city was almost full.Being blind was hard - no one wished that for themselves, but I found it easier since I was an Alpha. My senses were ten times better than humans and so, I was a perfect blind man who could do almost everything.But I needed my eyes for one thing…"Hey, handsome." A lady snapped me out of my thoughts. I was sitting at my favorite spot in the club where I could feel the movement of the crowd better and the scent of different perfumes mingling with the smoke from the dancefloor.I sensed a crackling of fire from the lady opposite me - she was a glozike, my lucky charm."Wanna get down?" A gust of her lust filled my nose, I could smell all of her emotions. She had a deeper pain she wasn't showing and she reeked of alcohol."Ladies like you often shy away from me in the inner room. They think I'm some kind of beast. Can you handle it?" I asked her, directing my face to where her voice came from.She blushed. "Don't stare at me like that""I'm not staring," I replied."Of course, I can handle you" She walked closer to me and placed her hand on my waist. In what seemed like minutes, she had dragged me into a room and started to kiss me vigorously. I carried her on my waist and returned the same energy, ripping off every piece of her clothes. She started moaning when my hands touched her skin."Wait." I stopped and moved away from her."Why? Too fast? You can't handle me now?" She laughed."No. I…want to show you. something" I said in a low tone, pulling off my shirt."Hurry up before I get turned off" she whined.I felt my muscles tensing and my limbs growing longer. I could feel my fingernails growing into claws. My body felt hot and tingly, and I could feel my jaw elongating. My transformation took place right in front of her.I could smell the sweat on her skin and hear the racing of her heart and before I could say a word, she screamed and passed out.I sighed. Another glozike on my death list.I turned back into my human self and lay flat on the bed. I had only two months left to get this mission done. If I didn't get a glozike who wasn't frightened by me, I'd lose it all forever. My eyesight, the Crown of Canines, my kingdom, and all that I have sacrificed to this point.I needed to leave this city tomorrow, to find more brave glozikes I could get laid with for their eyesight. If it would take me to be extremely nice to people, I would do it.I have overstayed my welcome in the human world, their foolishness disgusted me, they were slow, weak, and pathetic fuckers!The only thrilling thing here was strippers and barbecues.I heard a knock on the door. I was not nervous about getting caught or arrested if they saw the lady pass out on the ground. I have my way around anything and everything."Luca," the voice said when the door opened. "Any luck?""No. Where's the next city located?""This city has the largest number of glozikes, we just need to explore and find more people.""My Quota is ten deaths per city.""And you still have one more to go…""What? You want me to kill more people? Callous, that's what you are" I laughed.He laughed too and walked into the room. I heard him dragging the lady on the floor. "She's not dead yet," he said."That's your job, isn't it?""Yes, I'll dispose of her now.""Make sure there are no witnesses, and leave no trace of our involvement. If you fail to do so, there will be dire consequences." I said in a menacing tone"Yes, Alpha Luca," he said and his footsteps and dragging faded.I rose to my feet, relishing the thought of what was to come. I dashed back into the club, the sounds and rhythm of bodies swaying as the dance floor beckoned, and I made my way through the crowd, hitting lots of people but most importantly savoring the intoxicating scent of prey. There were more glozikes, but I was not ready to waste my last allotment. I would not strike yet. Not until the time was right. Patience was a virtue, after all.Willow Reid's POVNo one prepared me for the exorbitant bills I had to pay as an adult. Adding to the fucking pressure, my Mum was extremely sick, and I was stressed out about the cost of her medical care. My rent was due in a week and my sorry ass couldn't afford it, especially since I still had school loans to pay off. I worked at a popular bar and my pay was good, but even when I worked extra shifts, it wasn't enough to cover all my expenses. I needed a lot of money, thousands of pounds specifically, and I wasn't sure how I would get it.My eyes darted to my watch. I had only five minutes left until I had to leave Juggy Bar where I worked. Everyone had to be gone by 10. p.m., with no exceptions. That was the rule. I rushed out of the locker room where I had stripped off my uniform, grabbing my bag as I went.As I walked to the main bar, George approached me with a big smile on his face. "You'd better get off work now, Willow - your mother doesn't have a minute to spare", he said.
I had hoped and prayed that what I'd seen the night before was just a terrible nightmare, but it wasn't. It was all too real - the monsters that had lurked around the Juggy bar after 10 o'clock were very much real.Maybe not all of them were complete monsters. That man, Luca, hadn't drunk fresh blood, nor eaten fresh meat. He'd seen me, yet let me go. Why had he lied about me not being there?Why did he let me go? It was a question that haunted me. I couldn't get the image of the hungry beasts out of my mind. I avoided George at work that day, unable to look at him in the same way. I was plagued by terrifying thoughts. What if everyone who came to the Juggy Bar were like those monsters? What if they were all part of George's pack?"Willow!" George's shout rang in my ears and I jumped off the bar stool knocking over a glass of wine. It shattered on the counter and the scent of wine filled the air."Oh my, goodness. I'm so sorry George" I panicked trying to clean up the mess with a nap
I thought about it. Yes, I would be going.Just call me a risk taker, the probability of having that sum of money in my account was very high. I believed Luca, I can't explain why.My boss let me off very early at work. For some reason, Luca didn't tell George I was going to his house to be a maid for a family dinner, instead, George lectured me on how to be a good waitress at a seven-star hotel.I should have been scared Luca wasn't open to George about my whereabouts, but I was taking the risk and I was relieved I already left a note by my mum's bedside this time, stating who I went with in case anything happened to me.I stood in front of my porch by 7:59 pm and exactly one minute later, a Koenigsegg Gemera pulled up in front of me. I'm awestruck at the extravaganza and it took me another minute to confirm if the ride was meant for me. I clutched my bag tighter and held my breath as I walked towards the car, the back door opened itself and I gently went in.It was dark in here, but
As we walked into the house, I could see Luca's family all seated in the dining, they were quite a number, all in their wolf form, the exact way I caught Luca and George that night. My legs were wobbling at the sight, Luca was right, they were scary, but he didn't tell me they would be naked too.All of them. Male and Female.The only thing they wore were heavy chains that served as accessories on their neck and on their waist. All of their eyes were fixed on me and I buried my head to the ground to avoid their gaze."How lovely to have kept your guests waiting!" I heard a loud feminine growl from a distance. I raised my head and saw an elderly naked woman on her feet."Thank you for waiting, Mother," Luca said. Two naked ladies of my age then rushed towards Luca and held him by each side of the arm, leading him to a seat at the dining table, I followed them behind till Luca was carefully seated and I stood beside him, my face fixed on the ground. The two ladies stood behind Luca and
Luca dashed out of the dining room into the hallway, he was walking way too fast, he couldn't be blind. He saw me that night, he gave me a job, he picked me up, he opened the car door for me, he could tell when I was staring at him even with his eyes closed, he walked into this house himself, he had stared at me directly without missing my eyes, his mother must be blabbering."Luca, wait!" I ran after him, somehow I was scared he was going to fall if his mother turned out to be right."Go home, Mousey, dinner's over!" He walked into a room and slammed the door. I stopped, taken aback by his rage. "Luca..."I knocked on the door. "Luca, listen to me, please," I said softly as tears gathered in my eyes. I didn't understand why I was being emotional for a werewolf monster with family problems that I met in twenty-four hours.Luca was different, I could see it, he was more humane than the rest of his group. "Your family don't know what they're talking about. They're so deep-rooted into
Willow's PovI couldn't sleep throughout the night, It felt like I had committed a grave offense by rejecting Luca's offer to be his eyes - his guiding light. His face, his embrace was swarming all over my head and I couldn't concentrate at work.When I took my mum to the hospital today, I felt guilty it was Luca's money, and I didn't even necessarily work for it. When I paid my school loans and house rent, his name kept ringing in my ear. Would I get to see him again? I couldn't even ask George about him.Speaking of George, here he was standing in front of my counter with a flower bouquet and champagne. He's full of smiles even though all I imagined were his fangs and blood dripping out of his mouth."Celebrate, Willow!" He laughed and handed over the flowers to me. "I brought you flowers that are as pretty as you" he smiled.I warmly accepted it inhaling the sweet scent. "What's this for?" I asked George forcing a smile trying to keep up with his reason for his happiness."I deserv
p"Urgh. I need to take this call" George said to me and picked up the phone. "Hi Luca"I was suddenly restless hearing Luca's name. This felt like a torment like everything I do now revolves around him. I had been thinking about him all day and that was why I decided to distract myself, his name was still scampering around."I'm at our usual restaurant where the food is great," George said on the phone. "You're close? That's good"Goosebumps rose on my skin, their conversation went on. I coiled my toes numerous times feeling uneasy. I had rejected Luca's offer and I hadn't been the same since last night. I needed to leave this place, I didn't want to see Luca Carver."That was Luca," George said to me as he ended the call."Yeah, I heard. What does he want?" The panic in my voice was evident."Relax. Nothing from you. Did you do anything wrong while working for him?" George raised his brows."No. I was just worried about our date" I lied."I'm sorry that would have to be cancelled Wil
___________As I walked into Juggy Bar very early the next morning, I was shocked at what my eyes beheld. This didn't look like Juggy Bar anymore, it was more of a flower shop. I tried to enter through the door but there was barely any space, I squeezed myself and got in to see my colleagues and George discussing. I first apologized for being late to work, but what they said put me in a chokehold."Willow, these are for you. Would you mind telling your secret admirer to not do this at work?" Betty was upset."I... what..do you mean...these are for me?""Did I speak Dutch?" She charged. "Betty leave" George ordered her and walked close to me, he wasn't smiling either. "You didn't tell me you had a boyfriend." He frowned."I don't" "It says 'because you don't reject flowers-'" George read a little card from one of the flowers. His brows were arched and his cheek puffed. "Willow, I thought we have a likeness for each other.""I don't. George look, these flowers..." I paused when I saw
