Chapter 06
JULIAN
I waited impatiently for dusk, where the shadows were long and I could conceal myself within them without the sun searing my skin. Sleep was a rarity for someone like me. We barely ever slept, once in every few days and it wasn't a blissful sleep either. This was my purgatory and I was beginning to adjust to it.
Until she pulled the rug out from under my feet.
What she said made sense. I couldn't deny the sensations that danced across my skin each time we touched. When I heard her scream last night it sent electricity straight to my heart, almost allowing it to beat in my chest again. Panic claimed my body in a vice grip and I couldn't get to the little she-wolf fast enough. Then the sight of her bones squirming beneath her skin caught my attention and I instantly knew what was happening. It was instinct. In the same way, I knew I needed blood for survival, I knew I had to get her out of there an

LILITHI expected to see him later that night. At least, I left Julian's apartment with the hope that he would pitch up and tell me that he wasn't about to sever the bond between us. But then nightfall hit and he never showed. The next night was the same. And the next after that. Seven days. A whole week. That was how long it took for my hope to break. He left without a single word. Maybe he thought that we could still live our lives if he didn't sever the bond. Maybe he thought all he had to do was avoid me at all costs.It hurt. I never had a problem with abandonment. Then again, you only get one mate — one chance — and if you fucked it up it meant game over. So, it hurt but like everything else that hurt me in life, I brushed it aside and wore a smile on my face. The smile was false. Every smile I wore was artificial — at least back then they were easier to fake.'Do you want me as a m

LILITHIt surprised me how much pull the mate bond had even though we hadn't sealed it. I guess all we had left was the actual mating since we couldn't mark one another. That made following the pull of the bond all that more easier. Where it led me, though, had my nostrils flaring in fury.I glared up at the apartment complex I knew housed Julian. He was in the building, I knew it. I could feel it in the pit of my stomach. Julian didn't run from me like I originally suspected. No. He did something more cowardly than that.He hid from me.It left me wondering whether he wanted me as a mate. If I could get past him being a vampire, could he get past me being a werewolf? Right now it didn't seem like it and — if I were being completely honest — my self-esteem and ego may have taken a blow. Visually, I was appealing to most men. I knew this. I earned money off this.

LILITH"Your timing is impeccable," I heard Julian sarcastically greet whoever disrupted the little moment we were about to share.But no response came to the sarcasm. My wolf stirred anxiously and I felt an overpowering presence near me. I feared that I knew the presence — not personally but I could feel the ranking of the wolf about to step foot into this apartment. The earthy, musky scent only cemented that it was a werewolf.Julian strolled in, hands in the pockets of his sweatpants. He had a sheepish smile tugging at his lips. My eyes moved from him to the more domineering presence that stood behind him. The man was tall and muscular — filling out his silk black button-down. I quickly did a sweep of him, finding him in black dress slacks that hugged his thighs and loafers.His face was hard, long hair tied into a top knot and a neatly trimmed beard framing his lower face.

JULIANI took in a controlled breath, clamping my molars at the acid-like burn that scorched my throat. Even in my office, barricaded from the countless number of humans in the club, I could still smell them. The sweet, tempting aroma of their blood had me fighting off my most primal instincts. I could picture myself leisurely strolling out of this office just to analyze my surroundings and work out my best plan of attack. There would be no survivors.None but her.A separate section of my mind, a larger section than I possibly cared to admit, was cordoned off and dedicated to Lilith. From what I had been told, this wasn't odd. Sylvain had warned me that the mate bond would do anything in its power to bring us together — we were meant to complete the bond but that wasn't a step I wanted to take.I thought of the betrayal that sparked in those yellowish-hazel orbs when she met the rog

LILITHFuck this life and every life that came before and after!Victor made me shift from wolf to human and back the entire night. My entire body was sore beyond comprehension and I couldn't move a single limb anymore. He only made me stop when it took me around a minute to complete a single shift. With time, he said, I'd be able to shift within seconds but it was taking a while since I had been stifling my beast and I had been keeping her away from other werewolves.It hadn't always been that way. There were wolves that were around me at one point. But things changed and I moved on. I was quite content with the life I was building for myself until my mate literally shook it up. Now, I had a new life waiting out there for me; a life that I didn't fit into.Being the Vampire Queen came with responsibilities but I couldn't uphold those responsibilities — not with me being an ordinary
His Warm-Blooded Mate Chapter 12
LILITH "A graveyard, seriously?" I shrieked incredulously, looking between Victor and Julian — who was damn lucky that no one had found this body before now. "Would you keep your voice down," Victor growled through the mind link, leveling me with a glare that showed me he meant business. It was dark and, for obvious reasons, the graveyard had not a person in sight. Thick smog lingered close to the ground, weaving around the tall tombstones. I shivered, feeling the pricking sensation of every tiny hair on my body standing on end. This was not how I planned on spending my night. I could have been on stage, could have been dancing and doing something I loved but I was brought here instead. Julian all but stared at me as if he could see right to the heart of my soul. His white eyes were brighter in the moonlight, the specks of blue glinting with every subtle movement of his head. He then c
His Warm-Blooded Mate Chapter 13
LILITHI held the blood bag up to Julian's lips. His fangs penetrated the plastic, a sigh instantly leaving him once the thick, crimson substance caressed his tongue. Those white orbs of his rolled to the back of his head in content and my immediate thought was, 'Damn he looks so sexy.'I had one of his t-shirts on. We made it home at a little past nine. It was still an early night but it was eventful as hell. The rogues had gone off to do what they did best — hunt and live off the lands, while Victor remained behind to make sure Julian hadn't suffered from anything severe.With each mouthful of blood, his skin began to heal itself. The burns he had suffered from entering the fire were close to being non-existent, leaving a smooth surface behind. After the fourth bag of blood, I could see him returning to reality. He didn't look as dazed or exhausted."I must have done something righ
His Warm-Blooded Mate Chapter 14
JULIAN My patience was wearing thin. Oh so thin. Thorne's heart hammered in his chest, an uneven rhythm that had the monster in me grinning menacingly. How I was able to strike fear in such a man, I would never understand but I quite liked the feeling of having the upper hand — for now. I still had an uncomfortable situation down south but it was slowly dying down — until my gaze settled on Lilith again and whatever blood I had consumed ran downstream. I held my breath, giving my lungs a reprieve from the stench of werewolf, from the delicious aroma of Thorne's blood, from the temptation of the little she-wolf that claimed herself as my mate. My thoughts were scattered but it only took me a mere second to rearrange and compartmentalize them. My priorities were clear. Right now I had to handle Thorne and whatever information he had to disclose. But once I had Lilith alone— "Well, what d
