"Well if it isn't the great Dante, to what do I owe the pleasure?," Her features were sharp and angular, reminiscent of a predator ready to pounce. High cheekbones and a strong jawline lend her an air of strength and resilience. A thin scar, barely noticeable, runs along her left cheek, a reminder of a previous encounter where she emerged victorious against a formidable foe.Adorned in a form-fitting suit of midnight black leather, she moved with a predator's grace, every step a calculated and deliberate motion. Her lithe and athletic frame is accentuated by her sleek outfit, emphasizing her lethal prowess and agility.Around her neck, a pendant of a snarling wolf hangs, a symbol of her allegiance to the ancient order of Lycan hunters. Claws made from sharpened silver extend from her fingertips, ready to strike fear into the hearts of the creatures who dwell in the shadows."Oh my! What a sexy gruffy voice," She told with a smile, "So?, what brings you here?,""Mason is dead!" Silence
A magnificent living room with tall windows bathed in the gentle, golden glow of the crackling fireplace. The room was tastefully decorated with elegant furnishings, exuding a timeless charm. Stepping into the scene was a stunning golden-haired man with starlight irises that held a universe of emotions, dressed in a perfectly tailored suit. He sat alone on a plush couch, his silhouette illuminated by the warm fire.Lucian's gaze was fixated on the dancing flames, but his mind wanders far beyond the reach of the room. His thoughts were consumed by a certain someone, the lady who had captured his heart, his mate, Alexandra.His face was a tapestry of emotions, a picture of longing and uncertainty. Slowly he reached up to touch his lips, almost feeling the lingering warmth of Alexa's tender kiss."Alexandra.. such a beautiful name," He whispered to himself leaning back with his fingers unconsciously tracing invisible patterns on the armrest."Fuck!" He cursed out loud frustrated by his s
A few hours laterA nervous yet determined dark-haired girl with glowing hazel green eyes stood with a pacing heart, clutching a note book on her arm, standing outside the door of the Klaus brother's doorstep. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart beat, before mustering up the courage to knock. She hesitantly raises her hand and taps her knuckles against the wooden sophisticated door."It's going to be fine, it's going to be fine!" She told herself to muster the courage to stand between the two brothers who had both kissed her. She fought back the urge to run knowing something bigger than her feelings for Lucian was at stake. The safety of Hallow Grove was her driving motivation.And although she denied it, she wanted answers that would give her closure. All signs and suspicions pointed to the Klaus brothers, Still, she hoped, it was wrong. She has fallen for the handsome stranger and prayed for his innocence. No woman wants to love a serial killer.After a moment of
"Lucian!" She called out his name, knocking across the door. She held her breath in anticipation, it had been hours since they last saw each other. She felt herself longing for his presence with each passing second. The calm atmosphere was adorned with classical music playing softly in the background as the front doors creak open, revealing Lucian the strikingly handsome man in his early twenties. He exuded charm and confidence as he stood there, dressed impeccably in tailored blue sleeves. His piercing golden eyes seem to mirror the sunlight pouring in through the sky.Standing outside with her flowing red dress perfectly complementing her radiant presence, Alexa looked slightly nervous, clutching her book as she craned her neck to meet his gaze.Lucian took a few steps forward, his eyes fixated on the enchanting vision before him. Alexa gazed back at him, a gentle smile dancing on her lips. She had only just realized how much she had missed him."Well, well, aren't you the epitome
"I do," She listened carefully to his next words with a tense expression, afraid she might dread his next words, for some strange reason, she already assumed the worst."I threatened him to leave town," He told "You did what?, why?," She asked with a puzzled expression. What secrets did the handsome stranger have buried in his closets?"He isn't what he seems to be, he was here for me," He replied while Alexa listened with a keen attentive gaze, "He is a ghost from my past,""How did you both meet?""I can't tell you...at least not now, but I need you to trust me," He said running his hands across her smooth delicate face, which held a glint of fear and uncertainty. It was like a stab to the heart seeing her reaction, nonetheless, he couldn't blame her."How do you expect me to trust me, if you won't do the same and tell me your secrets?," She asked, "I need to know if you are involved with the deaths in town..." She quickly placed her hands over her mouth. "Fuck! why did I say that?
Lucian's eyes bulged in shock at the unexpected twist of events. His mate was a witch. He didn't know how to react. It was as though his world had shattered into pieces. It made it worse knowing Alexa's mother might be the witch he was searching for. The witch who had cursed him at birth. "Lucian?," Alexa muttered his name tugging him adorably across the arm. She sensed the tension and uneasiness that suffocated the air around her. "Is your mother in town?," Lucian asked earning a furrowed brow from Alexa. Why did he seem interested in her mother all of a sudden?"No, she died a few years back," She lowered her gaze as a wave of sadness washed over her. "Fuck!" Lucian cursed, way to spoil the mood he thought, "I'm sorry for your loss," He told sincerely cupping her cheeks. It seemed gus assumptions were wrong. Alexa's mother although a witch wasn't the witch he searched for. Judging the lycan hunter Mason Salvador's words, he was certain the witch was still alive.He let out a sigh
As she walked into the doorstep, her eyes immediately locked onto him. He stood by the entrance, tall and lean, with jet-black hair and piercing blue eyes that seemed to catch the light and reflect it in a thousand different shades. "My God!" Skylar couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat as she took in his handsome features. He was more deliciously looking than Alexa had described. Honestly, word couldn't even describe the perfection of the specimen before her.She had seen attractive men before, but there was something about him that made her go weak in the knees. It was like he had an aura of unearthly beauty that drew her in and left her feeling breathless.She tried to avert her gaze, not wanting to be caught staring, but she couldn't tear her eyes away. "What can I help you with beautiful?," Lucifer noticed gaze drooling gaze on him, and he bit his lips with a small, knowing smile. He trailed his sight to her chest and instinctively licked his lips. He would make a good f
Warning this chapter contains strong sexual scenes, readers discretion is strongly advisedLeading Alexa back into his room, Lucian maintained a calm facade, but she could sense that he was battling a tumult of emotions."Lucian?" She called out softly, perplexed by his unexpected change in demeanor. Was he jealous? It was a side of him she had never seen before. He had always personified the words "cool, calm, and collected," yet now he seemed visibly disturbed and troubled by Lucifer's advances."I love you, Alexa," He paused, "Watching someone else vying for your affection is...difficult,""Lucifer doesn't love me and vice versa, he's just being a flirt," She clasped her hands with his, "I'm sorry you have such an asshole for a brother,"Lucian chuckled, "I'm sorry too," Without a word, Lucian gently cupped her face in his hands, the touch of his fingers sending tingles down her spine. Leaning in, he pressed his lips to hers, a soft and tender kiss that spoke volumes without a sing
