MasukWhere are those people now?" Odessa asked curiously, but she had a feeling she already knew. "Dead. They are all dead." Odessa recoiled at his statement. The weight of it settled on her shoulders. Her mate had taken lives once again, and she didn't do anything to stop him. "What was the cause of death?" Odessa asked the policeman, who seemed to be hypnotized by her looks. He just kept on staring at her like a creep. She didn't mind him looking as long as he told her what she needed to know. "Well, multiple lacerations on the chest with an unknown weapon. And a lot of beheadings. We couldn't identify some things because the killer had burned the whole place to the ground, probably to destroy evidence." The policeman rubbed his double jaw and adjusted his hat. "Any ideas on who the killer may be? One thing is that they disappear into thin air every single time. Unidentifiable fingerprints and DNA. It makes no sense.
The room was painted red with blood. Odessa watched with morbid fascination as he moved so smoothly, so fluidly. Killing and maming everything in his path. A man dressed in the same black attire as the others tried to sneak up on him from behind, but realized too late that it was a mistake on his part. His head was ripped clean off his shoulders. In a second, blood gushed out from the severed vessels as his lifeless body dropped to the ground dead. Her eyes widened as she saw him pick up another man, this one she recognized as the blonde guy who approached her in the club earlier. Without hesitation, his claws sank into the man's chest. His shrill screams fell on deaf ears, along with hers. He pulled out his hand, and a sickening, squelching sound could be heard. He sunk his claws back into the man again and again and again. Till his insides decorated the floor in front of them.Des, please, please stop. She p
"Des." Her voice cracked when she called his name. It's been so long since she last saw him. She couldn't help tracing every feature on his face and engraving it into her mind. His hair had grown longer and fuller since the last time she saw him. The luscious, dark locks fell to caress both sides of his neck. His dark brows were pulled down into a frown, and his straight nose led to full pouty lips. "Odessa." His gruff voice whispered over the loud music. He recognized her. She wondered if he was sane right now. Apart from the red eyes, he wasn't attacking her or anyone else. "Can we talk?" She asked slowly, treading lightly around him. She didn't want to scare him away. "No." Was his immediate answer. "You shouldn'
It's him. Odessa was already up and about to run into the forest. "Odessa. Wait, are you sure? I know we are close, but this isn't where I tracked his scent to, unless he's on the move again." Seth asked, with his arm in front of her, stopping her from moving further. "It's him." Odessa was already up and about to run into the forest. "Odessa, wait, are you sure? I know we are close, but this isn't where I tracked his scent to, unless he's on the move again." Seth asked, with his arm in front of her, stopping her from moving further. "Yes, I'm sure it's him. I would recognize that growl anywhere." Her lips were quivering as she spoke. She just wanted to bolt after him and find him. "Luna, did you hear that?" Alaric burst out through the tree line with George right behind him. "Yes, I did. I think it's him." "Alaric." Her eyes glistened with tears. As she
So you can find him. Then, for the first time that evening, something close to a grin spread across his face. Odessa was astonished by the way a single emotion could change a person's features, especially if it was genuine. I already have. Beta George gasped in shock. That's impossible. Even our best trackers had a hard time finding him the first time he disappeared. Seth dismissed the beta and kept his gaze on Odessa's golden ones. He's a couple of miles south from here. If we leave now, we will arrive by midnight. He was indirectly saying it was her call. And if she wanted to cancel, they would. All right, then we'll leave now. First, we have to pack up some necessities. You will wait here until we get back. Do not move an inch. Her warning glare was enough to make him raise his hands and surrender. She gave him one last look and started to walk back to the pack house. Alaric a
You're positive this will work, right? Yes, I am. Everything has been arranged, and we've tied up a few loose ends. No one's going to notice. Alaric leaned over the mahogany desk in Desmond's office, palms down. Odessa was sitting behind the desk as they waited for the arrival of Eloise. Elody s long-lost twin. Odessa sighed and looked in front of her at the paperwork piled high on the desk, dozens of file holders, her untouched lunch, and manila envelopes with apologies from the Alphas. Who had tried to take away her pack from her because she wasn't a male. One letter in particular was disturbing. It was from Seth, the Alpha she had fought last week in the finals. His letter wasn't an apology. It was an invitation. He said he
Odessa walked into the pack house, which was strangely bigger on the outside than it was on the inside. It looked so beautiful. And she wondered how they allowed this many people in the pack house. “The ground floor is always very busy. Please follow me, my lady.” Ge
Odessa walked out of her room dressed in a beautiful black off-shoulder dress, which was made with an expensive-looking and stretchy material that glued to her curves and stopped just on her knees. The dress hugged her figure elegantly, enhancing her silhouette. Odessa walked down the stairs, w
Everyone around was shocked when they heard her reject him. Everyone knew about her crush on him, even though they never spoke about it. Now, she was rejecting him after being given the chance to be with him. “What do you mean by you're rejecting me? Odessa, did I do something wrong?” Lucas asked,
I just wish I could get a second chance.” The words echoed in a deep, dark void. Everything seemed still and calm for a while before a bright light started piercing through the darkness. A gasp was heard as Odessa suddenly sat up in bed, looking around her as she touched herself frantically. “W
