Lucifer's POV Her words hit me hard and the beast that had refused to leave the past few days, finally let me transform to my human self. She stared at me with a smile on her face. Did I just hear her right? Did she just call me lovely? Was she doing what I think she's doing? "Damn you, Helldog, you know it!" Steel hissed in my head. No, I refuse to believe it. I refuse to accept it. "Believe it or not, but that's what made you return back to human!" Steel yelled at me. It was all too awkward as I stared at her. Not knowing how to react to this. Never felt so much emotions running wild inside of me. Firstly, I had to leave her sight. I had to walk away before crushing any pride left in her. I had to think properly and besides I was standing naked before her. I walked away from her towards the pack house as I connected to Kill through the pack mind link to get me some clothing. I waited by a tree dreading the moment Ashlyn would come to me and make it more clear what I had a fa
Ashlyn's POV My pride was hurt as I ran out of the house. I was visibly shaking by this as I found myself sprawled on the ground outside crying my eyes out. What was I expecting? That he would suddenly have a change of heart? "Foolish you, Ashlyn. Going all out of your way, your principles and manners to confess what you felt in your heart to him." I damned myself amidst my sobs. How was I going to keep living here seeing his face and knowing that I've been rejected? My heart has been rejected. I clenched the front of my dress tightly as I cried. It would have been better if I never told him. It would have been more better if I never nurtured those feelings. This was not purely my fault! My heart gave way to his torture and menial care. It was not my fault! I was not going to stay here one minute. I was going to disappear and hope never to be found by him. I could not possibly face him after this rejection. I stared at my body. What's so fancy about you that he does not want anyt
Ashlyn's POV I could barely believe it as I laid curled up beside Lucifer on the bed. I could hear the beating of his heart and the efforts he made in trying to make it steady. My mind went back to what had happened previously. To how I took down those men like my life depended on it. The beast in me that have been sleeping had finally awoken. Flashes of me sinking my fangs into the necks of those powerful men who could throw me off at a fling, passed through my head. Was that really me out there? Having the agility to kill? What prompted me to do so? Was it the love I had for Lucifer that aroused such courage and aggression when I saw him about to be killed? I pondered.Whatever it was, I felt like a new person. A new spirit was inside of me. I felt bloodthirsty, with the energy to drain life. This feeling, I believed I was ready to accept. I'll have my enemies bowing down at my feet. My oppressors would have a feel of this new side of me should they cross my path. I closed my ey
Ashlyn's POV Beautiful days turned into deadly nights. Nights of horrors and nightmares. I could not control it rather I was under its influence. This hunger consuming my soul. A ravaging hybrid was what I had become. Seeking preys to devour. Not just to drink blood or drain energy, but to take lives and eat fleshes. This was not me, but this was what I had become since the night I was taken to lure Lucifer into a trap set for him. He had his demons to battle with and here was I having mine too. In the mornings, after coming out of his, he tries to fix and salvage mine. Whenever he places me on restraints to keep me from leaving the house to go hunt, I see naked pains in his eyes which he always tried mask. He could hide his feelings very well from me then, but now he was failing. Ripper, Rage, Stealth and Kill could hardly believe what I had turned to, including Roselia who tries to feed me real food just so I could forget about blood and flesh. It did not work. The instant it w
Lucifer's POV The final days of the full moon was over and I was temporarily free till the next full moon. At least, I would not be tormented for many months by the beast in me. It was a sheer bliss for Steel. Now it was time to concentrate on Ashlyn and her unappeasable hunger. "And also confess what's in our hearts." Steel said in my head. I was not going to deny it. The moments I've spent with Ashlyn had it effects on me. I felt at peace with her and this time around, I do not just want her body, I want her soul too. My soul yearns to be binded with hers. "Let it be, Steel," I said to him. I was yet to admit it to him. I wanted to be extremely sure this was what I wanted. Not just a mate bond to bind us together. Not just because she was my redeemer. But, because my heart was entwined with hers. Hell, I was scared of it. Scared of belonging to one person and then end up getting hurt. What if in the end, she leaves? "Too many doubts in your head." Steel said to me. It was obvio
Lucifer's POV The Minor clans were able to list out packs from the Major clans that had come to raid and oppress them and I and my comrades had done the needful. Punish them. The alphas of these packs that had led such outrageous act, we brought back to the house to be locked up in the dungeon and whipped under the early morning sun. The rest of the Major clans have been forbidden to have anything to do with the rebellious packs that had done the deed. They were not to associate in any activities with them. Neither were they to trade with them. Perhaps when starvation and death strife amongst them, they'll understand the pains of the Minors and the consequences that comes with anyone causing them harm and injustice. Kill, Rage and Ripper dragged the alphas to the dungeon and Stealth and Vino returned the horses to the stables. I walked into the house and walked up the stairs to find the temptress I had left behind earlier today. I did not find her in her room. I checked her bathro
Ashlyn's POV Lucifer returned back and began to take off his boots. "What did you go down to do? I heard voices." I said to him. "Just a little amount of what I would do to who pulled such stunt tonight." He replied. He discarded his clothes too and walked towards the bed. "I told you to let it be." I said to him. "And I do not obey orders given to me," he said, laying down beside me. "I give orders, not take them." He added, pulling the plaid off me and tugging at the zipper of my dress. I stared at him. "Should you not spare me for tonight?" I asked him, having the feeling he wanted to have sex with me. He raised a brow. "What do you think I want to do?" He asked me. "You know it." I replied, as he lifted me up, pulling the dress off me and throwing it to the floor. "Yes, I do know what I want to do." He said and as he got rid of my clothes, he pulled me closer, entwining his legs with mine. His arms wrapped around me and my body crushed on his. "Body heat is the fastest wa
Ashlyn's POV She did return and I was giving a one of a kind treatment. My nails were attended to and were perfectly manicured with a lacquer cobalt blue nail polish and so were my feet. I had even experienced how it was to be treated in a spa. The cucumbers placed on my eyes and the facial cream mask I had to wear. My hair was straightened behind my back and the tips were curled up and when it was evening, I was slipped into the sleeveless dress. The diamond necklace placed around my neck sparkled alongside the draping earrings in my ear holes. The wristlet too, fitted around my wrist and staring at the mirror, I was lost for words. Catriona had performed magic on my face. My eyebrows were highlighted and arched. On my lips was a cherry red lipstick and everything blended so well with my complexion. I slipped into the heels and Catriona latched the straps around my ankles. I picked up the bottle of perfume and sprayed it behind my ears, each side of my neck and finally on each o
