I walked backward when Sarah stood at the open door, blocking the entrance.
I kept stumbling back, even though she didn’t move an inch.
Gahiji, the leader of the order squad, quirked a brow and I growled silently.
This was so humiliating but I can’t take any chance.
Sarah was reeking of her heat pheromones still, and tonight was the blood moon, double the threat.
If I took one whiff of her, I will do something that I would regret later.
“Sarah, what are you doing here? We will meet tonight at the ball, you know that.”
I cursed when I hit dead end aka the wall, and there was nowhere to go. Sarah narrowed her eyes, then licked her lips.
I shivered. Goddess, help me, I must fight this. I have consumed so much of that concoction Augusts made to numb the beast, but now I can feel
I paced the balcony angrily. So now I was confined in my room and I can’t go out without asking for permission.And moreover, I wasn’t allowed to talk or see Cassius after what had happened yesterday.I winced when the bite he gave me throbbed. It has been pulsing like a motherfucker since I woke up yesterday.Lena said that it was weird and it was supposed to heal immediately.But I guess I was blessed like that. But she wasn’t sure because we didn’t consummate the mating.I think she meant that we should have had sex after or before the bite; I wasn’t sure.All I know is that yesterday we had made a scene and everyone at the ball had enjoyed it.I have seen my torn dress this morning and boy; she was right. The weird thing was that I was pissed that they stopped us.Accord
The Lycan,“This can’t go for long, supreme alpha. You know the situation is dire and we need you with us.”Blaise spoke quietly, trying not to anger me. I eyed the dragon through narrowed eyes. I don’t like the male even though my human does.He seems to think that we were close because of our beasts’ issues and maybe the similarities in height and feature, but I can’t fucking see it.“Look Alpha, we all know that you have been triggered by what had happened in that ball with the blood moon and all. No one is thinking less of you. We all still respect and follow you so, please shift back to human so we can handle this situation.”I snarled at the dragon, and he sighed after lowering his head down and bowing a little. I paced the small dungeon and growled deeply.This is so fucking humiliating. That fucking human thought that it would be nice to cage me here because he was afraid to go after my mate. Mine. I flexed my claws and swiped at the wall in front of me angrily. This is fucki
PrologueThousands of years ago, there was a powerful king.

What the hell was that hulking monster? My mind screamed at me for an answer, while I hid behind one of those enormous trees. My body was shaking like a leaf, my heartbeat skyrocketing and sweat made my eyes burn. My hands trembled when I brought it above my mouth to stop a sob from breaking out, I need to be silent. A twig to my right broke, and I flinched. It has found me. Oh god, I’m going to die. But the silence that followed was killing my nerves, it wasn’t expected at all. I took a few stuttering breaths and willed my body to move; I need to see if it was still there or not. At least I should try to make a run for it again before it got me. I need to fight for my life. My mind made, I peeked to my right and found nothing. I sighed in relief, maybe it got bored and left, right? Yes, it must be. It couldn’t wait for me forever; I have been running for what? Ten minutes by now, maybe?! I will try to retract my
“Un deux trois et quatre. Un deux trois et quatre, encore.” Monsieur Claude, the ballet master, clapped his hands with the rhythm. I twirled and raised my arms around my head like a circle. “Siegfried, why are you so tense? You should be fluid like water. Follow the music and let your body sway. Give me a goodattitude.” Victor bent one knee and looked at me. I took a couple of deep breaths and then two wide steps towards him. He reached for me and swiftly raised me up. I opened my arms and arched my back. “No,Odette. You are a swan, an elegant and delicate bird. You are supposed to be as light as a feather, but you look like a sack of potatoes. This is ridiculous.” He used his cane to knock on the chair beside him a few times. “That is enough,Assemblé.” we all stopped as one and stood up, back straight waiting for his instructions. “You all sho
“So you are here and making all this fuss, just for some petty theft?” I rubbed my temples. This was getting on my nerves and I do not need more stress, right now. The full moon is upon me and, worse, this one is the blood moon. Dylan stood straighter, eyes downcast. “I’m sorry, your highness but I think there is more to this.” I moved my stiff shoulders from behind my old wooden desk and eyed my beta. “More? You said some food and clothes were the only things they took, so it must be a teenage prank or something.” I stood and went to the big window that overlooked the sea. I really would like to have a swim right now. My body temperature was heating up and my brain too. Dylan spoke again, but this time his voice was lower. He knew I was getting irritated. “No, your majesty. I sent some enforcers to look into it, and they said that person didn’t leave any scent. I think this might be something different.” He winc
I stood there mouth open and eyes wide, when Lina said a private jet I never thought she was telling the truth. I thought she said that just for my mother’s sake. She chuckled and nudged me. “Close your mouth, love. People would think that I have kidnapped you or something.” I turned and gaped at her. “Who the hell are you, really?” She winked and adjusted her sunglasses, even though there was no freaking sun at all. “I’m a princess sweetheart, you are a friend of a royalty.” I scrunched up my nose and followed her to the plane. “You are pulling my leg now, right? Stop joking around and tell me the truth.” She winked at me and went for the small stairs that will help her ascend the plane. The pilot and the flight attendant greeted her. “Lady Ascelina, It is an honor to have you with us today.” They said while they looked at their feet. I stopped and gawked at them. The man was freaking big. His suit barely contained him and he di
I walked to the shower to wash all the blood and grime off of me. This morning I woke up on my balcony, body scratched and drenched in blood. I leaned on the black tiles and closed my eyes. The lukewarm water irritated my open, sensitive back, but I clenched my teeth and endured it. I looked down and saw the dirty water drain. I almost heaved when I saw a piece of fur and something that resembled an animal's hove struggling to wash away. That asshole monster had enjoyed his time yesterday and now slept contently inside my head and here I am, the one who was cleaning his mess. I tried to remember anything from the night before, but I couldn't. All I get always was bits and pieces of foggy memories. I growled in annoyance and used my claws to scrub my hair with some shampoo. By the time I was wrapping a towel around my waist, there was a soft knock on the door. I inhaled deeply and smiled when I smelled my mother and little sister.
