~Alessandro~

I should have done this sooner, I think, as I withdrew my canines from my mark, red liquid dripping onto her skin.

Two holes were open by the crook of her shoulder, blood spilled, trailing downwards.

I gulped, licking it up. It rolled down my throat as I hummed. It tasted like a rare delicacy of the finest kind. Scratch that.

I struck my former thoughts out. I should do this more often.

I could feel my wolf growl in approval. Even he was delighted, prowling the corners of my mind, restless, demanding to be let out. 'Not yet.' Throwing those words, I pushed him back into the recess of my mind.

Finally, having peace.

I looked down at her— my Ioana.

Just then.

Something shifted in the side of my vision. "You're shameless, you know that, right?" I drawled, my tone lazy, obviously well-fed, quirking a brow at him.

He bristled, his jaw clenched, his chest heaved in unspent anger, but he couldn't do anything.

He knew he couldn't.

We both knew that.

I chuckled.

    ~Ioana~[⚠️ This chapter contains romantic tension and mild innuendo. Read at risk]I was back at the place I recognised. I knew that immediately I saw the familiar ceiling above.The moment I opened my eyes, light immediately flooded in. For a moment everything was calm. I didn't think.Just me and the ceiling. Light streamed in from the curtain, tranquility set in. It was as if I hadn't woken up yet. I lay on my bed.And then.It slammed into me— the things that happened yesterday.Catching Alessandro.The near kiss with Ramon.The kiss with Alessandro.Alessandro fighting.Ramon accusing me.The kiss— again.And the bite.My fingers curled, weaving into the blankets under me. Thinking about it, red clouds rose up to my cheeks, settling there.It still left me breathless, especially the bite. Pleasure tingled down my spine. I fainted.

    ~Ioana~"At least I've kissed her… can you say the same?"Ramon dropped those words like a bomb. The tension shattered, first from disbelief. I swore I heard a ringing in my ears, my breath hitched in my throat, my body stiffened like wood.Then came the realisation of what he had just uttered. The atmosphere took a nosedive."Ramon— I— No," I stumbled over my words. The kiss never happened. I screamed in my mind. What in the world are you saying? The urge to grab my hair and pull it dominated me.I didn't want to know how he would react. My gaze rested on the bloodied Ramon, blame bled into my eyes. I couldn't believe Ramon would do such a thing. He was clearly trying to destroy my relationship with Alessandro. 'Was it because I tried to cut off from him?' I shuddered. For the first time, I wondered, 'Had I ever known him. ' The past Ramon was awful, but never this terrible.Averting my gaze, when I looked back up, I saw Alessandro. His lips were set into a tiny scowl, he glowered

    ~Ioana~"Good. Very good," he nodded. He didn't say another word. With that, he spun on his heels, storming off.I stretched my hand to his retreating figure, but I was only able to brush against his fluttering coat.The night chill brushed against my tingling lips. I pressed them, hissing as a sharp sting shot through. "He was quite harsh," I commented. My face burned red. I shook it out of my head.He seemed furious. I stared in the direction he stormed off to. Why did it look like where I was coming from?His chamber… isn't it in the opposite direction? I cocked my head to the side as the thought passed over my head. 'That's true,' I concurred.So why is he— wait, there's only one thing— the bell tower! My head crashed. 'No, no,' I repeated over and over. Red light blared in my head."This is bad," I dropped the words with a curse. Lifting my dress, I dashed right towards the old bell tower.In my head, I clasped my hands together in prayer to the Moon Goddess, Selenara. 'Let it no

    ~Ioana~[⚠️ This chapter contains a bit of heat. Read at your risk]My eyes flew wide open like bulbs, what? But the next second, his palm descended covering them.He whispered over my lips, "Don't look at me like that, if not I'm afraid I'll lose control.""Close your eyes Ioana," he commanded, his words firm with something I couldn't resist. I shut my eyes. The pressure over my eyelids vanished; instead those same fingers weaved into my hair strands, holding me firmly in place.He tilted my head upwards, as his lips met mine again.It was not soft or gentle.It was like a tsunami crashing against land, domineering, taking everything as if.I gasped into his lips."Alessandro."My skin was like flames were dancing over them. My hands dangled awkwardly to the side, I brought them to his chest, they stayed there.I was conflicted. I wasn't sure if I wanted to push him away or drag him closer to me. He left my lips, red and swollen.His nose trailed down my neck, his breath against my s

    ~Ioana~ His eyes stayed on my face, like he was drinking me whole. My breathing slowed, the surface of my skin heated up as his breath brushed against my cheeks. We were so close, I could see his eyes dilating, pushing out the browns until it became dark with something that made my breath hitch. His arm wrapped around my waist, he pulled me close to his body. I swallowed audibly, my hands grew cold. I knew what was about to happen, so did he? A small voice warned me, once you do this… there's no going back. I knew that. I also understood that things might never be the same again. But still… I couldn't stop myself from sinking into it. He drew closer to me. His eyes flickered to my parted lips, staying there. Tearing his gaze away, he whispered, his voice low and hoarse: "Can I?" I was stunned by his actions and at the same time—touched by his restraint. He had to take permission. That's so kind of him. It made me feel as if I was being seen, appreciated. Just by that, I cou
