"I've seen her nudes before. She ain't got no shaved clean pussy," a voice spoke from the side of the stall. "Yeah, right, but you gotta see how she bounces, though. She's tight as fuck," another added. "I'd agree with Dan. You need to see how she squirts too. Gotta say, she is heaven," the third chimed in. "But a whore, kinda," the first let out a short laugh. "How come Luke never noticed his girlfriend was such a hotspot, fucking around with every man she met?" "Not our business, though. At least we had something to taste. She's fine," the third said. "She was the one who came to us, not the other way around. We are not guilty," the second added. "We're good friends." Silence fell for a moment before they all burst into laughter. "Good friends who are about to have a foursome with her," the first snickered, followed by another round of laughter. But it was cut short. Then came a whimperâno, a moanâechoing from the last stall in the restroom. "You hear that?" the third man as
The next morning, Ethan woke up to the golden rays of sunlight peeking through the slightly parted curtain. He stretched on the bed, said his morning prayers, and headed for the bathroom.Two more exams, and he would be done for the semester. So far, he hadnât had any problems apart from Lucian's exam, which he had missed.Lucian had assured him that he had everything under control, but Ethan still felt he should write the exam himselfâhe wasnât comfortable with internal help.After dressing up, Ethan stepped out and greeted Butler Ben, who was busy serving. As usual, he still felt overwhelmed by the treatment.A month ago, he had struggled to afford food for schoolâor sometimes had none at all.Wait! A month ago? Itâs been a month already!âMorning, little mate,â Lucianâs deep voice broke his thoughts.âGood morning, Mr. Lucian,â Ethan greeted with a smile, his face flushing as memories of yesterday hit him without warning. He quickly looked away.âI thought we were over the formalit
Zeno sat lazily on the couch, waiting for Mr. Moore to show up.The snacks and drinks before him remained untouchedâhe wasn't a fan of junk food. Instead, he lit a cigarette and began to smoke.Mr. Moore entered hurriedly, adjusting his suit and clearing his throat.âMr. Luther. What a surpriseâyouâre back in the country,â Moore greeted. He caught sight of the snacks and turned to the maid who had served them. âYou searved these?âThe maid panicked. âYes, I thought it would be pleasant to entertain the visitor before the meal was ready.ââGet them away,â Moore ordered, but as the maid stepped forward, Zeno raised his hand to stop her.The maid lifted her head with a questioning look.âHow about you entertain me in another way, young woman?â Zeno asked, his voice calm yet dripping with authority.The maid hesitated but responded, âOâĶokay. I'll do my best.ââGet between my legs,â he ordered, and shock flashed in the maidâs eyes.She looked back at Moore, who scowled down at her. âWhat a

Before the gunshot sounded, Ethan suddenly felt a hard surface slam into himâno, it was a chest. The impact made the ice cream in his hand slip and sprawl onto the floor.It all happened so fast. Before Ethan could even process it, the gunshot rang out, making him jerk violently, his eyes squeezing shut. But strong arms wrapped around him protectively, shielding him from the danger.With his heart racing, Ethan slowly regained his senses. Screams erupted from the onlookers, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps as chaos filled the air.âHey,â a deep, familiar, soothing voice broke through Ethan's panic. âAre you alright?âEthan looked up slowly, meeting Lucianâs intense, worried gazeâa look he had never seen before.After winning that plush toy, Lucian had received a message from Eric. Twilight had mentioned that Zeno Luther was in townâand after Ethanâs life.Lucian hadnât wasted a second. He dashed out of the building. Upon spotting Ethan, he noticed a red laser dot on his ches
CELLLucian's breath hitched as his head jerked up, sweat breaking across his temples. His chains rattled slightly with his strained movement.The cell was cold. Too cold. But his body burned.The past came rushing in like a wave.The scent of blood. The scream of the woman. His woman. His mate.Her blonde hair drenched in red, her lifeless body sprawled, throat gaping open. Her eyes wideâĶ staring. Empty.âNoâĶâ Lucian growled lowly, but the images didnât stop.Then the child. His son.Little fingers stretched out to him. Eyes that mirrored his own, wide in confusion. Crying for him.âPapaâĶâLucianâs eyes burned.Just like every nightmare, their battered bodies stood right before him, calling and crying while he stood helplessly, driven to the brink of insanity.He struggled against the chains, muscles tightening, veins pulsing. He let out a low growl, one that echoed around the cell.âDonâtâdonât touch them!â his voice cracked as he shouted, though there was no one in the room.A laug
The sky roared outside in the night, thunder cracking against the clouds, its roar echoing in the large room. On the king-sized bed was Ethan, curled on the soft mattress. His eyes opened, staring into space. He couldn't sleep. Not a single hint of darkness wanted to slip into his senses to do him a favor of pulling him out of his restless mind. Ethan stayed awake, but he was barely aware of his surroundings. The heavy thunder sounded distant, and the rain splattering against the window was quiet. His mind was disoriented. There was a heavy weight pressing against his chest, puncturing his heart. He was breathing, yet it felt as though he was not. Ethan rolled onto the other side, restless with only one name on his mindâLucian. He hadn't been this worried and unsettled about this male before. Hell, he didn't know he was this attached to still be awake for this long, struggling on his bed and worried about him. He couldn't even eat the dinner the hotel service had brought for
As soon as the sun rose, Eric headed to the cell. He spotted Lucian seated on the floor, his back resting against the wall, head lowered. He was quiet, but Eric knew he was awake.The clacking of the gate echoed in the space, and Eric walked in to help Lucian up to his feet. The male's heavy weight pressed on him.Eric caught a glimpse of a toy on the floor, covered in dirt. He reached for it too before helping Lucian out of the cell.After freshening him up, Eric helped Lucian into a comfortable dress and left him in the dining room, where breakfast and herbs were already prepared, just like every time. The herbs helped to restore his strength faster. Morgana had taught Eric how to prepare them.Eric watched as Lucian had the meal and herbs quietly. Judging from his mood, Eric could tell this episode had hit Lucian harder than the previous ones.He had heard the roars, cries, and words. He didn't sleep. He couldn'tânot while his friend was suffering.But he heard something unexpected
âWhat?!â Ericâs eyes went wide, snapping a look at Lucian. âWhat do you meanâĶ youâĶââYeah,â Lucian answered. âHe said the exact same last words as Selaria.âEric returned his gaze to the road, driving as he fell into deep thought. A heavy sigh escaped his lips.âThat might be a coincidence,â he muttered, lost in thought again. âCould he really beâĶââI guess Iâll call Morgana.ââWait!â Eric said quickly, making Lucianâs brow furrow. âI meanâĶ I donât think she might have any idea.ââStop the car,â Lucian demanded.Eric pressed his lips together before obeying. He pulled the car over to the side of the road.Clicking his tongue, he took another deep breath.âThe spell to break the bond is ready,â Eric confessed, and silence filled the car for a long moment. âItâs been ready since before the day you told me Ethan had his rut. Thatâs why I asked him to take you on a dateâto make you like him.ââWhat?â Lucian muttered. âSo the date wasâĶââI had no choice. Morgana said you'd die a slow and p
While feeding Lucian, Ethan could feel Lucian's gaze the whole time. The male didn't for a moment stop staring and he didn't mind.Though his heart raced at intensity, he still continue to feed him and he obediently took them all to the last bite.Ethan cleared the plate and walked back to his with a glass of water. He offered but Lucian didn't accept, still staring.Ethan sighed, who would have thought Lucian has this kid side of him.Gently, he placed the tip of the cup on Lucian's lips, gently titling I pour the water into his mouth. Lucian drank till the last drop, watching Ethan dropped the glass away."Have you eaten?" Lucian finally spoke.Ethan folded his arms across his chest. "Yeah?""Uhm" Lucian cleared him throat. "Thanks""Are you just going to keep staring or you're going to tell me, what in the world is going on?" Ethan asked. "You promised to tell me. Now I wanna every one of it. Don't dare skip anything because I would be so mad at you if I find out" he warned."Fine
âLucian!ââPlease come back to me!ââIâm sorry.ââCome back!!âLucian gasped awake on the bed, sweat dripping down his forehead, his chest heaving as he tried to catch his breath, eyes darting around.His room?Wait. How did he get here?His brows furrowed as he collected his memories. RightâZeno took Ethan, and he had gone to save him, and...Lucian froze, his brows knitting further. He sat up immediately, eyes wide. He couldn't remember what happened next.âStay away!âEthan's voice echoed. Lucian hissed as his head throbbed. Shit!Ethan had yelled at him. Rejected him. Had been scared of him, and he had...Why the fuck couldnât he remember?!Lucian swung the sheet from his body, rose from the bed, and burst out of his room. Breath heavy, eyes darting frantically, he settled them on Butler Ben.âEthan,â he breathed worriedly, approaching Ben. âWhere is he?âĶââUhâĶâ Before Ben could reply, another voice sounded.âLucian?âLucianâs head snapped around, sighting the person he was desper
"Let me out of here, bastard!" Ethan yelled at the men."Seriously, are you not going to gag him?" one of them spoke, staring at Ethan in disgust."Yeah... I better," the second said, eyes searching for a rope."He's going to kill you all, bastards!" Ethan yelled again.The one who seemed to be the boss of the men in the room chuckled.He stepped forward, dark eyes glittering with amusement as he crouched before Ethan and grabbed his jaw."Kill us?" he drawled mockingly. "That little professor of yours is probably dead by now. All we're waiting for is Zeno's call before we cut your guts open."Ethan jerked his face away, trying to mask his fear. He was terrified, but he didnât want to give these men what they wanted.The man barked a short laugh. "Look at you, trying to act tough. No one is coming to save you, boy. Just say your last words instead."Could they be right?Is Lucian coming? Will he find him?Suddenly, the temperature in the room dropped.A chill crept down their spines.
Martin gasped, hearing the gunshots, his head snapping toward the door.What the hell was that?Are they shooting Mr. Black? And if soâĶ why did they have to shoot so many bullets to bring him down?What did you expect, Martin? Perhaps Mr. Black brought his men.But he had clearly heard Mr. Black came with just the man named Eric.A groan tore through his throat. He was gagged, hands tied behind him. Every part of him ached. He needed to get out of here and find Ethan before they hurt him.Once Zeno was done here, he planned to take Ethan's lifeâand he couldn't let that happen.âShut the hell up!â the man watching him snapped, but Martin didnât stop struggling against the rope, letting out muffled sounds.âShut up!â the man yelled but clutched his ears as the gunshots sounded even louder.âShit! Just how many men did Mr. Black bring?âA scream pierced the air the moment the gunshots stopped, followed by the sickening crack of bones and the tear of fleshâĶThen a guttural growlâone that
âBut I want to help,â Xander insisted. âThe tracker canâĶââWe know everything before you came. Even the location of where Ethan is,â Eric said, and Xander's face went pale. âSeriously? Why did you think it was easy for Martin to take Ethan?âRight. Xander had thought about that too. Mr. Black wouldn't let his security slip around Ethan after Mr. Moore's attack.Xander glanced at Lucian, who still hadn't spoken a word. This man was hella dangerous.âYour method was pretty cool but very old. I'm sure your father already suspected your movements and might have seen through Martin.â Eric continued. âNice effort, kid.ââAh,â Lucian let out a deep sigh. âI can't believe I lost the bet.â His eyes finally fluttered open.Then he rose to his feet, locking gaze with Xander. His piercing gaze made Xander wonder if this was truly the professor in their school.It was as though his menacing aura had just increased tenfold.He approached with light, steady, and deliberate steps. If Xander weren't
"Urgh! Let me out of here!ââMartin!âMartin's jaw clenched as Ethan's voice trailed behind him while he headed to the car with Zeno and a few men.He took a last glance at the restricted building in the middle of the woods before entering the car. Zeno had chosen this location so Ethan would be hard to find.It was several miles away from the city; barely a soul could be seen around here.After almost an hour of driving, Zeno spoke, breaking the silence in the car.âWhere the hell is Xander?â he asked, while Martin kept his gaze on the passing view outside the car window.âI don't know,â he replied.âHaâĶ don't give me that kind of crappy answer. You expect me to believe you don't know where your bastard brother is?â Zeno barked out a soft laugh. âI thought you both were close; I guess thatâs wrong. How could you not have told him you were about to betray your friend?ââBecause you asked me not to tell anyone,â Martin's fists clenched. âAnd, point of correctionâĶ Ethan is not my friend
He didn't return last night.Ethan bit the inside of his cheek. Lucian wasnât home.What could have kept him so busy that he didnât show up? What could be the reason?Another woman?Ethan slammed his palm against his forehead. Donât think like that, Ethan. You canât be insecure. Lucian hasnât been with any other woman ever since he met him.But why did he worry so much about him? It felt like he couldnât breathe properly when Lucian wasnât around for too long. It had been almost two days, and he was missing him.Could it be because Lucian was investigating his fatherâs case or it was simply due to his work?Ethan sighed. He asked himself too many questions. He should be more worried about the school that was about to kick him out.Ethanâs phone rang, and with a swift movement, he reached for it.The hospital?âMr. WaveâĶ your mother has gone into a critical stateâĶâThat was all Ethan allowed himself to hear before bolting out of the room, ignoring Butler Benâs voice calling after him.
âHelp who again?âEric drew in a deep breath, fully aware that Lucian had heard him the first time but chose to pretend he hadn't. Classic Lucian.âLutherâs sons.âA laugh broke from Lucianâs throatâlight and soft at first, then growing louder until it echoed through the four corners of the private club room.Eric waited patiently for him to finish. He knew it would be damn near impossible to convince this crazy male to help themâmostly because of Martin. Lycans donât forget their enemies.They donât forgive, and they sure as hell donât forget. Once youâre on their blacklist, you stay there forever.Especially someone as crazy as his friend here.And when they finally strike, Lycans tend to wipe out every trace of their enemiesâincluding their offspring.Mr. Moore wasnât the only victim. The poor man lost everything in a blink, including his son. Now, itâs as if that fool never existed.Lycans do give warnings, though. Once, twice... and by the third time, the victim finds out what de
