“What?” Maeve slammed shut her locker in shock, not sure she’d heard Camden right, “come again, I think there must’ve been something wrong with my ears.” She added and Camden groaned.“Dude, I’m serious, I do like, like Valerie and I’ve been trying to tell her but with all these shits going on these days I can barely even say a word without her getting mad at me.” Camden replied and Maeve bursted into an uncontrollable laughter.“Since when has these feelings of yours been keeping you up at night?” She asked and when Camden shot her a serious stare she coughed, “you’re really serious?” She asked again and he nodded.“Why else do you think I’m telling it to you?” He answered.“I don’t know,” Maeve answered, shrugging, “you probably just think she’s badass and you love her because she deals with the devils bravely, I don’t know, I really have no idea.” She added.“What do I do?” He asked in confusion.“Tell her” she answered and Camden’s eyes widen.“Tell her what?” He asked.“What you
“You’re sleeping? Did you forget about shopping?” Maeve’s voice came like a thunder across the phone, “we’ve been waiting for you in hopes that you’ll be here soon and there you are sleeping out date away?” She hollered in a mocking scolding tone. “I’m sorry, I slept off,” Valerie apologized as she rushed out of bed to get ready for her date with her friends, she had no idea why she’d agreed to go with them considering the things she had to do at home, the meetings she needed to attend with Adira, “I’ll meet you guys soon.” She added as she got up to walk to the bathroom, the cold water stung her skin as she got in and she wheezed in slight uncomfortableness, she eventually got in and after a while in the bath, her body relaxed a bit as she closed her eyes and threw her head back to enjoy the water. She prepared to go meet her friends while the thoughts of her dream filled her mind, the dream no doubt meant there was trouble, she’d done some displeasing thing by getting revenge on Ni
Valerie watched as the priest made his way out of her building, confused, she looked to see Adira also looking confused.“Did you think I should have left them?” She asked Adira, jolting her out of her thought as she looked up at Valerie.“I told you you did the right thing, didn’t I? They all deserved it for what they did and now I don’t even know anymore.” Adira answered in confusion.“I’m going to be punished. I have no idea what punishment the goddess has in store for me.” She said and just then she heard howling, Valerie walked out to see what was going on but her pack had been swamped and she couldn’t even see anything ahead of her until it got closer.“The goddess is really angry, we need to appease her.” The priest that had left earlier on, came back to say and immediately the Aletha pack sprung into action.Every member of the pack going hunting and bringing back their best game, the priest offered the sacrifices and appealed to the goddess as he was a means of communication
The world was completely still as Alexei opened his eye to the figure of this woman hovering right over his face. Nothing moved, not even the leaves outside quivered, but over the silence brooded a ghostly calm and the whisper of her sweet, fresh breath as it brushed on his face. Her hand was resting on his shoulder and he could take in every scent of her, she smelled like freshly plucked cherries and her brown eyes closed in shock as her eyelashes batted. He swallowed hard and could taste the bitter medicine behind his throat, he had no memory of when and where he had taken this medicine.He laid there motionless, he knew he should’ve said something and this situation was extremely awkward but words failed him, Alexei closed his eyes a little trying to remember what had happened before now, his head pounded as he tried to get the memories. ******It was dark, so dark that Alexei and his brother could see nothing but figures, they knew what they were getting into when they walke
Valerie’s words got caught in her throat for a while as she looked in the blue eyes of this mysterious man she’d brought home, his deep, husky voice sending chills down her spine and nothing seemed to matter to her as she was caught in his eyes already.“Hello?” He winced as he snapped his fingers, jolting her out of her thoughts and back to him.“What?” She said, cleaning the invisible drool that was already forming beside her lips and trying to compose herself and act normal.“Who are you?” He asked again and this time almost raising his voice at her, she saw the anger in his eye as he spoke and that made her equally angry. He should be grateful he was alive, he should be grateful she’d decided to help him out of the forest before the wild animals made a meal out of him.“You’re in my house.” She managed to say, pushing her anger aside and biting her tongue to refrain from saying the hurtful things that was already building up in her mind as she stared at him up and down.“Why am I
****MATURED CONTENT*****Time paused as Alexei waltzed into the club, making his way through the crowd to the bar. Pairs of eyes fixated on him and if by mere looking humans can fall one another, Alexei will be in hell by now. His dark hair fell back perfectly and he hasn’t bother to button up his shirt as they were loosened, showing his perfectly shaped abs and ripped chest, his pitch-black eyes piercing through, making every lady want to be in his arms.“Gosh…who is that handsome man over there,”he heard a lady ask her friend seductively, he turned to see the lady with a glass of champagne her back was to him and only the friend could see him, her eyes bulged as she caught his eyes, Alexei knowing what he was doing, turned back.“One shot of tequila please.” He said to the bar attendant who immediately got his order ready, “you owe her an apology.” He mimicked his mother as he gulped down his shot. *********************SOME HOURS BEFORE.“So fucking rude and disrespectful.
“Where’s your brother?” Dante asked, looking at his eldest son who’d just drove in moments ago as he took a puff of his tobacco.“We’re not tied together, how am I supposed to know where he is?” Jace snapped in anger, he hated how Alexei was the favorite son and also as much as he hated to admit it, he knew Alexei was stronger than he is.“He’s injured, thanks to your incompetence,” Dante started saying as he walked towards Jace, “if you made a good use of yourself then he wouldn’t be that badly injured.” He finished as he stopped in front of Jace causing him to swallow his spit in fear.Jace had always been terrified of his father but he’d always refused to let it show as he always stood up to him anytime and would sometimes get in a fight with him, he stared at his father up and down, refusing to let him see the amount of fear he was hiding beneath his fake bravado.“If he’s not at home then, he isn’t really ‘badly injured’ now, is he?” He looked up to meet his fathers gaze as he qu
It was a chilly Sunday Evening and the silence in the Perez’s family house was deafening as they all awaited the return of their teenage son who’d gone hunting, they knew there was no way Alexei and Jace wouldn’t finish their mission especially with Alexei being on the edge but they still couldn’t ignore the tingling feeling of worry.Alexei and Jace had heard rumors of a new wolf packs in town and had gone to hunt them, the nervousness in the house rouse as it was unusual of them to not be back yet, it was getting darker and still the Perez brothers weren’t home yet.“What’s keeping them for so long? It’s just some pack of wolves and from what have gathered, they’re weak. I’m pretty sure this is Jace’s fault.” Dante roared as he paced around the sitting room in fear, he was about to say something when they all heard the sound of a car zooming in. Minutes later Alexei walked in with Jace leaning on him for support, he was almost unconscious and there was bruises all over his body.The
