Xavier's voice reached her ears before she saw him emerge from behind the misty trees to her left. She was relieved to see that it was not another she-wolf who was ready to kill her, but she had no idea what his motives were or why he had come to see her. Right now she had no chance to have a long talk with the cold man. She had to escape the dense fog and save her strength, not knowing if she would need it later if she couldn't convince him to let her leave this cruel game. "We have to go," Xavier said as he grabbed her and hugged her around the waist. Then he turned into a big white wolf and let Karen climb on his back. With fluid movements, they glided through the air above the dense trees. The wind rustled in Karen's ears as they moved at an astonishing speed. The girl felt a mixture of emotions raging inside her. On the one hand, she was relieved to have the protection of Xavier and his presence. On the other hand, she was still confused about the true intentions of this journe
Xavier smiled with a slight smirk on his face. "No matter what you say, you are still attractive to me, Karenina. Your uniqueness as a hybrid and your spiritual powers attract me. But I know you won't be easy to conquer. Perhaps that is what attracts me to you."Karen was shocked at his statement. She could not believe what he had just said. Then she finally decided to get off his back, which was still transformed into a big wolf, and Xavier finally returned to his human body. The man then walked closer to Karen until the distance between them was only a few centimeters.It was only when the man's hand wrapped around her little finger that she realized her mistake. Karen stared at him, swallowing, nervous about her next move. Karen was afraid he was going to break her finger, especially when he looked at her and squeezed her finger in warning.Her eyes were caught by Xavier's beautiful golden eyes, though they were also intimidating. But she couldn't see any warmth in them, only cold
—Flashback Underworld—The wind from the portal between the world of the living and the world of the dead was strong and icy, trying to steal the warmth from those whose hearts still pumped the blood of life. Xavier Westwood stood in a clearing far from any civilization or city, keeping a watchful eye in case the call of death was too strong for those who were weak to succumb to the seduction of death and fall into the black abyss forever."Brother Xavier, are you going back to Raine?" pleaded an adorable 10-year-old child."Shut up, Raine, and don't bother Alpha Xavier with such nonsense!" shouted Jacob in a shrill voice. Jacob was Xavier's loyal servant, while she, despite being Xavier's younger sister by another mother, was dearly loved by Xavier.Of course, she ignored her brother's annoying servant, preferring to stare at her brother with all her heart. She loved her brother and wondered if he would return to her. The dark abyss in front of her brother made her feel cold. He had
With a sharp intake of breath, she continued to run as far away from the poisonous gas as possible, trying to put as much distance as possible between herself and any possible pursuit. Maya had no intention of being captured, interrogated, and then killed. She knew she was strong, stronger than ever, but there was no way she could defend herself against someone she really did not want to meet.The poisonous black fog had no negative effect on her other than blocking her vision, making it difficult to see where she was going, but she wasn't too worried. Before she had to leave Karen, she had always known which way to turn if she had to leave the battlefield and escape the clutches of Xavier, Alpha of the Westwood Pack. Trying to stay in the right direction, her thoughts kept drifting back to Karen and her soft lips.She didn't understand why she felt such a strong attraction to the girl who was supposed to be her enemy. Even if she accepted her feelings, she knew that Nathan, Xavier's
It had been a few weeks since she had first met Alicia, and they had made a habit of meeting at the same lake, but they had quickly decided to meet at night so that their relationship would not be smelled.She was becoming sexually frustrated with all the seductive looks and touches Alicia was giving her, not to mention some veiled hints of attraction on her part, but nothing approaching physical contact of any kind.Instead, they used the time to get to know each other and enjoy each other's company. Maya was truly happy for the first time in years, as this was the first time she had felt such strong feelings for another woman, and they seemed to be returning even though there was no actual touching. She felt she could wait as long as it took for Alicia to feel comfortable taking their relationship a step further.So engrossed in her thoughts, Maya did not hear her call out and then come up behind her until she felt a hand slide down her back, making her shiver with excitement at the
—Back to present—Whenever she remembers Alicia's betrayal, the pain is still there, but hidden behind her need for revenge. After teaming up with Nathan, she hunts down the two lovers with the help he promised and sends them to the afterlife, just as they tried to do to her. However, revenge wouldn't taste as sweet if she couldn't inflict the same pain on Alicia as she did to her. She wants to break her heart like her own, so that the woman she once loved can fully understand the evil deeds that broke her heart.As Alicia watches, she kills her lover in front of her disbelieving eyes. Hearing her cries of anguish and seeing the sadness on her face made her feel the same pain that Maya felt as she lay in a pool of her own blood, looking at her as she turned away from Maya.She had killed the person she thought she loved the most. Then the pain overwhelmed her and brought her to her knees, staining them with her own blood.She shook her head, trying to get rid of the memories she did n
She already understood the importance of being careful when dealing with the man before her, especially after hearing about the terrifying powers he possessed. Although it was hard to believe that such powers could exist, she knew that Nathaniel would never give her false information. She was determined to succeed in her mission to kill Xavier's half-brother, and she had no intention of failing."Why do you want to attack me?" she asked in a majestic voice similar to Elena's."I asked you first!" was his childish reply.Then the man holding what looked like a spear with a glowing crescent symbol - she remembered his name, Mike - stepped forward and placed his hand on the shoulder of his friend, who was wearing a red t-shirt and black leather jacket. "No need to be so hostile, Rylan. Maybe she'll find out what this barrier means."She saw the man wisely ignore his rhetoric and approach her. He bowed slightly before speaking politely, "I apologize for my friend's inconvenience, but we h
As soon as she was out of sight of Rylan and his friends, she picked up speed and ran to meet where Nathan had chosen to meet her. The night's mission had been a success, she had absorbed the power of the mighty she-wolf, but he reminded her that her strength would have to grow even more if she was to cooperate with his ambitions. Though her strength was now far beyond what it had been before he entered her life, the woman wondered how much longer she would have to keep increasing her power before she felt ready.But she no longer cared. She felt indebted to him for what he had done and wanted to help him. The dense forest was no problem for the powerful wolf as she moved through the dark night. Her strength and instincts made it easy for her to move through the dense foliage in the dark. Her abilities far exceeded those of an ordinary human, especially on a night like this. She managed to reach a secluded spot in the forest and quickly transformed back into her human form. As she sto
