" Shhh, I don't want to wake her up," Magnus said, eyeing the treasure she's carrying." Sorry, sir," she said and lowered her head with her heart aching as she bit her inner lips. She felt betrayed, her fist clenched as her eyes slowly brimmed with tears.' he? And my friend? Vicky did this? She was acting like he was her enemy, but here she is, secretly hanging out with him,' she said angrily and bitterly in her mind." Drop the treasure," Magnus instructed, feeling relieved about the open door. His mind immediately went into agitation.' I have to get in touch with Larsen,' he said with urgency in his mind." Can I trust you? Isha?" he asked.'Oh, now he's asking if he could trust me with their secret,' she felt anger brewing in her chest." Yes, my lord."" I need you to carry out an errand for me, as discreetly as possible."" Huh?"" Without being noticed, especially by Elia,"'Oh yes! That's true, he was sneaking up on him earlier today. Oh, could he be? he was hiding here from
Larsen sighed inwardly with his mood getting exhausted as another influential woman approached him. He had too many humans to exchange pleasantries with, men that are appreciating his presence at the ball, and the women who are trying to have an audience with him.His charisma not only charms the ladies, but his handsomeness and features causes them to drool and turn in every direction he moves. He has lots of attention, and it's taking some effort for the men to get their women's eyes off him." The human females are no different from the she-wolves," he mumbled to himself." Drink, sir?" a waiter asked, smiling sweetly at him.Without replying, he took a cup of cocktail off the tray she was carrying and took a sip.She couldn't tear her eyes off him; his well-tailored suit only screamed of wealth, it did no justice to his handsomeness, but it did grace his features. His broad shoulders that make feminine fingers ache, his face that looks like an art specially crafted by the creator
His eyes bore into hers; he couldn't resist the smile when he saw her blush. The almighty feisty princess blush, he'd do thousands more to see more of that.His heart skipped so hard, he couldn't tear his eyes off her; she's like a sunset he found himself watching. His smile slowly changed, his eyes searching hers for answers.Answers to what she's doing to him, answers to why he's feeling this way, it hit him slowly with warmth in his chest, and it's stirring up something bad, something he's not ready to admit.The sudden play of cool, slow music breaks the air. Elora heaved a sigh as she was finally able to look away." Are we going to stand here like this all night?" she asked, not taking the risk to look at him again." Is that you stylishly inviting me to a dance?"" Of course not," she objected immediately, but it was too late. His hand grabbed hers and pulled her to the dance floor." What are you doing? I can't dance, I'm not ready to...,"" Shhh, don't lie with your pretty li
'She was supposed to be my maid of honor,' Elora thought bitterly in her mind as she stared at the ornate mirror before her, sitting still in the dressing room, numb, with her eyes sharp and unyielding.' A friend like a sister, the one who's always there by my side even on my darkest day, my best friend with the purest heart, Scarlett. She was supposed to be here, doing my makeup like she promised, laughing and teasing me,' her breath quivered, ' but they took her away, they took her away from me, killed her most cruelly and brutally,' she clenched her fist against her wedding gown and released it after a second.With nothing but emptiness in her eyes, she scanned the room with a clinical detachment, and her crimson-painted lips suddenly curved into a perfect smile, too controlled as if trying to forcefully control the brewing rage in her and her heavy thirst for something dark.Every gesture of hers was memorized, calm, and unnervingly charged, as if it, too, was complicit in whateve
The creaking sound of the door opening increased the tightness of her fist around the gun, the door opened slowly, and for a second Elora thought," This should be the moment I'm most blinded by rage, the moment I take my revenge with the utmost fury, but excitement is seething through my veins; I must have gone crazy, or maybe I'm not; maybe this is how it feels when the fury is too much."The door finally opens widely revealing the gorgeous bride. All heads turned towards the door and they all gasped at the sight.~ Is that Elora? ~~ What's that?~~Did she cut her wedding gown off? What the heck! How could she turn it to that? ~~ what's going on ~~ What's going on with her? Why is she in sneakers? ~~What's she holding behind her ?~Listening to the loud murmurs, she felt the urge to burst into laughter which she kept forcing herself to suppress. She looked around the bright hall as she stepped inside and nothing filled her eyes but disdain. The elegant fragrance of the hall, the
(Still three weeks ago ~ On Earth)"Should I just die? Kill myself? Or run far away where no one could ever find me?" Scarlett sighed, staring out the window of her room, a room that now mirrored the emptiness inside her.Her face drooped in gloom. Her lifeless eyes watched others outside laughing, playing, smiling like the whole world revolved around them; while she remained trapped in a shell of loneliness and invisible scars. Her fingers clasped together as if searching for a hopeless companion while a weary sigh escaped her nose.The same faces that now wore joyful grins had once tormented her. Bullied her. Laughed at her. Trampled her underfoot because she was nothing but the pack's shadow."Are you thinking of committing suicide again?"The voice startled her.She turned and chuckled faintly at the sight of her best friend standing at the doorway, arms crossed, eyebrows raised."Don't give me that fake laugh," Elora said, stepping into the room. She glanced out the window. Below,
" what are they doing here?", Scarlett asked turning back at Elora," They..."," What do you mean what are we doing here? Of course, to go along with you to Alpha Damien's mansion." Karine cut Lora's short, chewing her gum loudly l.Scarlett's breath trembled as she clenched her fist before raising her head to look at Elora," Did you bring them here?" she asked," They said they want to come along"," With whose permission?"," Scarlett.."," Stop! I don't need anyone to follow me, I'm good on my own", she said and turned to leave," You sure you're good? I mean, I guess you might need someone to console you when he brutally rejects you".Cynthia chuckled forcing back a laughter." Karine!", Elora called angrily." Thanks for your gesture but I don't need you", she said, then stormed out of the room." Scarlett! Scarlett!" Elora called after her, but she left without looking back, hopping into the waiting car that drove off the moment she got in." Seriously Karine?", Elora turned ba
" The rejection of course", " Who said I'm rejecting you?". Like the whole time stopped Scarlett felt her blood stop flowing too out of shock. " Eh?" her widened eyes and agape mouth let out. Damien gave her a smile that was so charming and soothing, " I'm not rejecting you as my mate, Scarlett; my purpose for calling this meeting is for us to meet and get to know each other, not to reject you". Scarlett eyes were still wide open, it felt like a dream, and she nearly forgot how to breathe. " Are you..serious? You're not..rejecting me?", " No", he chuckled, " why would I reject you, you're such a beautiful lady", "I.I. I can't offer anything", she let out in confusion. He smirked, " really? I don't think so", " I'm serious, I can't even turn into a wolf I'm all pack's shadow", " Not to me. And don't worry about not being able to transform. I'm an alpha, I'll protect you", he said and they both got lost in each other's stare. He stood up and went to sit right b

" Shhh, I don't want to wake her up," Magnus said, eyeing the treasure she's carrying." Sorry, sir," she said and lowered her head with her heart aching as she bit her inner lips. She felt betrayed, her fist clenched as her eyes slowly brimmed with tears.' he? And my friend? Vicky did this?

He smelled it the moment she rubbed her neck.Heat.Not just any heat. Hers.Her scent got stronger, sharper, sweeter, and maddening. It hung in the air like a cloud of smoke, wrapping around his senses and nearly causing him to growl.He got on his knees when she started feeling restless. How will he tell her she's going into heat, she doesn't love him, will she accept it?When she started rubbing her body and twisting her legs together, she gave him pleading eyes that he couldn't refrain from telling her what was going on." Huh? Heat? Right now?" her eyes were bugging out of the socket.She'd heard so much about mates going into heat, but she didn't know it would be like this, and neither was she expecting this way." Toria," he called sweetly feeling his heart pounding so hard. She was going to be in pain, an intense one if he didn't do something, but he didn't want to force her; he wanted her to want him, just as he wanted her, right from the moment he set eyes on her, right from
' hmm, it tastes..good.' Elora couldn't help but taste it. It tasted like smooth iron, yet, strangely delicious like a red fine wine.Her lips tightened against his palm as she sucked in his blood slowly like a princess taking her time to enjoy her meal.Larsen tilted his head, forcing back a grunt; this was unlike the first time he gave her his blood. His heart was racing; her strong, beautiful scent was halting his senses and sending his wolf into an endless howl of want. Her soft butt against his thigh makes him want to grab every part of her soft body, feel her skin against his palm.He bit his lower lip so hard as he brought back his head and looked at her pink lips against his palm.Those lips. Those tempting lips. He wants to taste them and knows what they'd feel like with his tongue.Unable to hold back anymore, he buried his face in the crook of her neck, sniffed her, and inhaled her intoxicating scent.He does it again; the way he sniffs her makes her breath hitch; he's doi
After the perilous yell, the kicks and punches stop. " Alpha," Amie called; her heart skipped as she hadn't planned for Larsen to catch her in the act, but her anger and hatred for Elora wouldn't make her stop." Are you out of your goddamn mind?!" he thundered and pushed her roughly away from Elora, surprising everyone present.If not for the assistance of the attendants who quickly caught her, she would've fallen hard on her butt.Larsen's wolf growled in rage as it looked at Amie, feeling so much anger that it wanted to tear her apart and everyone who had laid hands on her." Hey! Hey," Elora heard his baritone voice call as his hand pulled her up gently from the floor.Larsen's blood boils looking at her body full of bruises; her hair was so messy and covering her face. He worriedly brushed the hair off her face with his fingers, and his heart sank, looking at her face full of cuts and bruises.He gritted his teeth and glared at Amie." What the fuck do you think you were doing?"
Austin watched her stride towards him in the sitting room, dressed in a blue short and black singlet with her hair packed in a ponytail shape, looking all normal with no hint of madness, which amazed Austin even more.' damn, clothes indeed hide lots of things, my moony,' he exclaimed in his mind.Elora nodded slightly as she stood in front of him not knowing what to say or do." Do you need anything?" he asked," No, no," she waved quickly.~ what do you mean by no? We're starving ~ Naya shouted in her head." A moon goddess like you sure knows how to yell and shout and scream," she whispered to herself knowing Naya would hear her." What do you say?" Austin asked not hearing a thing except 'moon goddess '" No, nothing,"" Would you like anything? To eat?"" No, I'm fine currently,"~ are you kidding me? We're not in a fasting period ~" You sure?" " Okay," Elora gave in, seems like both Naya and Austin were determined to frustrate her soul till she took in something, " please some
No matter which side she turns to, the sun that scorches through the room seems determined to heat her awake. Elora groaned as she grabbed the duvet and dragged it above her head but she wasn't feeling comfortable enough to sleep back that way." fine..you succeed," she groaned against the pillow and pushed the duvet down." Ahh! Holy moon shit!" she yelled as she jumped up in fright when she opened her eyes to see ..Austin?" What are you doing here?" she yelled at him as she quickly wrapped herself up with the duvet, eyeing him from head to toe with her face contoured with deep frown.Her startled chest was pounding so hard against her ear." Good morning Miss Elora, pardon my manners, I didn't mean to startle you,"" May I know your reason for being here?"" My lord, the Alpha, instructed me to watch over you,"" Watch over me or spy on me?" her frown deepened.' did he think I was going to try to escape after what he did last night? He shouldn't worry, I've already made up my mind
" I'm not going to scream, but what the heck!" she said, almost whispering, some of the words nearly inaudible.Magnus heaved a sigh of relief still laying on her. He has never been this relief in his entire life." What are you doing? I know you want me to accept you but do you think following me around and trying to do what? Will make me accept you?."Magnus furrowed his brow in confusion, wondering why she was so scared and nervous. Vicky's heart was pounding so hard against her chest and with her mate laying on top of her, she could feel heat building from her fluttering stomach.His masculine scent was too close this time, driving her head in an unknown direction; her palm got sweaty, and the temptation to touch his muscles feeling against her shoulder.She swallowed hard while she tried to avoid gazing into his eyes so as not to lose her resolve. Her craving for that one person to love and care for her, her desire for a companion and a partner, gradually getting rekindled.No Vi
