MasukDavain.“Get your hands off her!” Louis yelled, his thunderous voice echoing down the hallway as he approached us with heavy, furious strides.A sinister smile spread across my face as I held her tightly against my chest, feeling the quick, frantic rhythm of her pulse. I had actually wanted to have a quiet time with Melissa, even though she was persistently trying to get away from my grasp. But the moment I caught sight of Louis approaching us from down the corridor, I could only wish she would stay more in my arms—if only to burn the image deep into his mind.I needed Louis to see that I was damn serious about wanting Melissa to myself, and I truly would not back down, no matter how much authority he thought he held over this place.“Melissa, please stay still!” I whispered softly against her hair, totally ignoring Louis's loud, raging command.“Davian, come on… release your grip…” Melissa said, her voice muffled against my shoulder as she tried to free herself from my firm hold, sq
Melissa.I actually didn't know how to politely ask him the reason for his sudden question without coming off as cold or standoffish.And at the same time, I really wasn't in the mood to entertain anyone at the moment. My mind was far too exhausted, my palm was still aching from the slaps I had delivered, and all I wanted was to step into the quiet sanctuary of my room to tend to my hand in peace.“I actually just want us to…” Leonard started, his voice trailing off as he awkwardly scratched the back of his head, visibly struggling to find the right words to finish his sentence.But he didn't get to finish his words.Before another word could escape his lips, a deep, magnetic voice echoed from directly behind me, cutting through the corridor as though he had always been standing there in the shadows, listening to every single word of our conversation.“She isn't free!” he said calmly, the absolute authority in his tone leaving zero room for debate. “We have important things to do toge
Melissa.Cain and Cypril didn't say a word, standing completely frozen as they kept staring at me in absolute disbelief, and I was deeply enjoying every single bit of the scene unfolding before my eyes. For the first time in my life, their suffocating dominance had been shattered, reduced to stunned silence by the mere threat of my palm.“I bet they still value their looks!” Ann said, stepping smoothly out from behind me, as she reached out and wrapped her arms warmly around my hand, leaning her weight slightly against my side. “Sister-in-law, don't disfigure them!” she added, her tone dripping with heavy, unapologetic sarcasm that echoed off the quiet surroundings.I laughed instantly, the sharp, genuine sound breaking through the heavy tension hanging in the air. The bright smile on my face deepened, stretching wide as I took in the utterly humiliated and bewildered looks plastered across their faces. They looked like statues, paralyzed by the sheer audacity of my transformation.“
Melissa.The triplets were beginning to crawl under my skin, their suffocating arrogance acting as a constant pestilence, and they were utterly disgusting.The audacity for them to think I would actually allow them to whip me back simply because of Amelia was beyond absurd. Did they truly believe I was still that same helpless creature, ready to bare my back to their cruelty and bleed for their favored little victim? They must be dreaming. If they thought for a single second that I would stand idly by and accept another ounce of their twisted justice, they were grossly mistaken.I have had enough of them, and this pathetic charade has to end very soon.“What exactly did you just say, Melissa?” Cain asked, his deep voice faltering as he stared at me in absolute shock and surprise. The fierce, unyielding aura radiating off me was entirely alien to him, shattering his perception of who I was supposed to be.“You heard me clearly,” I said firmly, projecting my voice with an unwavering
CALEB.I actually do not know who Louis thinks he is.‘Prosperous pack?’I scoffed softly to myself, the bitterness coating my tongue like ash. It was nothing more than past glory—an outdated title built on ancient reputations that meant nothing today. He spoke with such unearned arrogance, acting as if his territory was an untouchable paradise while treating the rest of us like dirt beneath his boots.And that Leonard of a guy... he must have taken us as fools to think we would release our pack’s seal just because he was cooperating with the Lycan prince. Did he truly believe we were so naive, so desperately eager to please, that we would hand over the very essence of our authority on a silver platter? The sheer disrespect of the suggestion made my blood boil.I followed behind my brothers, keeping my distance as I was completely lost in my thoughts, stewing in the lingering anger from the study.But just as we headed towards our rooms, walking through the quiet hallway, I suddenl
Louis.I sat back in the quiet grandeur of my study, the heavy wooden desk serving as a stark barrier between me and the men seated directly in front of me: the triplets and Leonard.The silence in the room was suffocating, thick with unspoken hostility. Amongst the triplets, Cypril kept staring at me with dagger eyes, his gaze sharp enough to draw blood. I could feel the heat of his glare burning into me, but I simply couldn't seem to care. His anger was a useless, empty display that no longer had any power over me.Leonard cleared his throat, the sound sharp and jarring as he attempted to break the tense atmosphere settling over the study.“We have an urgent project at hand…” he paused deliberately, his eyes flickering nervously as he glanced at each and every one of us gathered around the table. “...and it might require submitting the seal token of each pack,” he added, his voice dropping slightly as the weight of the statement hit the room.I raised my brows up in confusion, my co
