ETHAN

Is this even supposed to be happening? A man that's 7ft tall, large like a giant bag of tacos, is beating up a woman half his size—who obviously has a death wish. It's hard to hear her taunting words when everyone next to me is screaming on top of their lungs, cheering for the girl in the ring.

“You look rather spooked,” a guy next to me growls into my ear. “Shouldn't you be enjoying this?”

“An unusual fight that's slowly getting bloody? No, I'll pass.”

He laughs, turning his back for me to see what's scribbled on his shirt. He has ‘Caroline’ written boldly on it. He turns back to face me, grinning. “Trust me, you're not the only one who's having an eye sore from watching her get treated that way.”

I cringe at his words. He's obviously getting this wrong, alright? I'm not…one of her admirers. I don't even know her. I've never seen her too. I can't deny the fact that she's pretty though.

He tilts his head like he's thinking about something. “Stranger, this is the point wher

  • My Dear Master, We're Mates! (M×M)   Chapter 117 – The Necklace

    ISABELLAIt's the last day of the Crimson Masquerade.Father announced that it'll be game night today. The afternoon light shines through the windows as I lean against the railing, looking down at the guest drunkily come out of their rooms and stagger to the dining hall. I exhale slowly, raising my cup of coffee to my lips and taking a slow sip. Lorenzo’s words replay in my head from last night, loud and sharp and if he said them this morning. “I love her, Isabella! And I’ll find a way about Father. I'll convince him and he'll let me. You’ll see.”Is he mad? Father would never agree and he knows that deep down so why does he think Father would allow that?I grimace. My dear brother. My foolish, hopeless brother.Of all people, he chose a maid. Not even one of our kind, not even a vampire. But a fragile, breakable, human maid. Father would drain her in one goal to teach him a lesson. I told him the truth, and I wasn’t cruel about it either. His relationship is doomed. A lost cause.

  • My Dear Master, We're Mates! (M×M)   Chapter 116 – The Bomb

    ETHANI lie flat on my bed, staring at the ceiling, counting sheep.It's the only thing keeping my thoughts from cycling back to what has been happening lately. My arm dangles off the side of the bed, knuckles brushing the floor, and for the thousandth time today, I ask myself if I’m losing my mind.It’s been happening for days now. The random bursts of strength that don’t make sense. The strange energy is buzzing under my skin. And worst of all… the voice I hear in my head that is extremely far from mine. I start to think I'm going mad. The voice speaks in muffled tones again and I almost pull my hair out in frustration. I squeeze my eyes shut, groaning quietly. Maybe it’s the training. Maybe I’ve been pushing too hard so my body is cracking from the intense workout. But then I remember how it seemed like the wall in the kitchen was caving in and how, when on the training field, I could hear a warrior whispering across the field when he was too far to hear. I normally shouldn't b

  • My Dear Master, We're Mates! (M×M)   Chapter 115 – The lady in bed.

    ISABELLAThe music still drifts faintly from below, laughter and drunken voices blasting through the walls of the mansion and filling the entire building. The Crimson Masquerade is alive, even at this hour. Vampires never tire, especially not when the moon is so high and the wine so red.I, however, am already bored out of my mind.I flop across the lounge chair in my chambers, my nightdress pools around me and one slipper is dangling off my foot. The wine glass in my hand is untouched, the blood already looking so dull in the glass. Useless.“Why do we even let them inside?” I whine, pressing the back of my hand to my forehead. “Werewolves. Here. In our house. Celebrating as though they belong.” Why would Father even make such a crazy decision? I wonder what's going on in his head. I wonder what he's always thinking, really.The maid beside me, Sasha, my closest and trusted maid fidgets with the tray she’s holding. “Your father invited them, Miss Vitale. He must have a good reason.”

  • My Dear Master, We're Mates! (M×M)   Chapter 114 – Into the Lion’s Den

    ALEXANDERIt has only been a few hours into the drive when I realise it…I miss him.The thought is bitter on my tongue, absurd in its weight. Ethan’s laugh still lingers in the silence of the car, echoing faintly, the way it does in my chest when I let myself think too long. I roll my jaw, turning my face to the glass window. The forests blur past.Rhydian shifts inside me, restless. He doesn’t like leaving the pack, doesn’t like leaving him. My grip tightens on my thigh and I force my wolf back down where he belongs.Hudson glances at me from the driver’s seat but says nothing. He knows better.Hours fly by, the scenery shifting until the road dips into lands claimed by vampires. It’s impossible not to notice the difference. The air is colder and unnaturally still. Even the trees look wrong, their branches lack leaves and the branches look like claws Sanguis. One of Dario’s three kingdoms.The Second of the vampire lord’s kingdoms, and the one he’s most proud of. The land reeks of

  • My Dear Master, We're Mates! (M×M)   Chapter 113 – Departure

    ETHANThe sunlight streaming through my window wakes me before I even open my eyes. I roll onto my back, stretch my arms out and let out a long groan. My body is sore in all the right places, thanks to yesterday’s training session with Alexander.God. I grin like an idiot just thinking about it. He had me pinned to the ground more times than I could count, smirking down at me with that expression that made me want to do something reckless. Every muscle in my body is screaming in protest this morning, but I don’t regret a damn thing. If anything, I want more.Dragging myself out of bed, I shuffle across the room, pulling on a shirt. I run my fingers through my hair and head out, my first instinct being to find him. My day feels incomplete if I don’t.Alexander’s office is empty. The chair is neatly pushed in, the desk arranged like he hasn’t even touched it this morning. My brows pull together as I lean against the doorway, scanning the room. Where the hell could he be this early?That

  • My Dear Master, We're Mates! (M×M)   Chapter 112: The Stranger Again

    ISABELLAEveryone is outside. I step out of the building into the gardens just like the rest do. Most people are in a different outfit, more exposed, freer.I am too. My long gown is off, and now, my body is clad in a glittery, V-line cut dress. The gown is sea green and blue with glitter all over, and the length is so short that my thighs are exposed. The V-line cut is so low that my boobs are on display for the eyes of the hungry men to feast on.Bodies press together beneath the moon, laughter mixing with groans, lust dripping heavier than the wine that's going around just as much. They intertwine their bodies, having sex and whatnot.And me?I am bored.I sit on a carved stone bench near the edge of the clearing, a plastic cup dangling between my fingers, lazily swirling my wine. My legs are crossed, my dress ridden high, my hair spilling in its free waves, down my back. I sip and stare, watching the madness.“Isabella.”I don’t have to look to know who it is.Matteo drops beside
