I attempt hitting Apolyon again and my body does the same thing. My fist hangs mid-air.I suck in the air and try to relax my mind as much as I can. Apolyon doesn't say a word. Rather he watches me as I manage to free my body out of the resultant rigidity.When I can finally move my body. I kick my seat back in frustration before sitting back down."Make it make sense. I'm listening." I tell him and he takes a deep breath."Aside from concluding that Xyana is mated to you, I made other findings as well." He pauses and swallows hard before saying his next words."I've been here for a very long time, Werewolf. Longer than you can imagine. I used to be an enforcer. Orders are given out and I carry them out to the fullest. In return for every assignment I successfully carry out, I climb the ranks."Gradually, I work my mind to be open to whatever tale this monster has to tell me. When I look at him, he looks deeply troubled and maybe pitiful.

~Carmen~The sunlight is quickly dimming, and the shadows in the corners are growing larger.Where’s my phone? Dropping to my knees again, I start sorting through everything on the floor, searching for it.I haven’t heard from Kennedy. has he deserted me, too? Or is he mourning the death of his father? Does he also blame me for his father's death?If he's still coming to get me, what if it's for revenge?Well, it's all too late now. I need to call him and tell him not to come. It’s too late for a rescue. The vampires are close. If he shows up, he’ll only be in danger.I can't be blamed for the death of a father and his son. Even if Kennedy believes that I contributed to the death of his father, I can't lose him, too. I think as I fling away a shirt. He’s literally all I have left.Crawling around on

~Carmen~Did Elder Felix … Did he just suggest…“We?” I croak out. “Are you saying that my father didn’t die from an auto crash and my mother my mother didn’t abandon me like I was told?”“The Sect is always out to identify cursed girls like you, and we have a way of knowing one even before she gets into the world. So yes, your parents are dead, and I, for one, know exactly how. They would have died eventually. With your curse hanging on your neck, surely, you would have still killed them.”I squeeze my eyes shut and groan painfully. I thought the Sect took me in because I was homeless, cursed, rejected, and hopeless.They are known for their good deeds, so I thought… Oh my god. A heavy, painful sob tears out of my throat.“Think about it, Carmen

~Carmen~ He says it so simply, I’m not sure I heard him right. “What?” I find myself gasping for the second time. “He’s dead, Carmen,” Elder Felix says more firmly, his own anger leaking into his voice. “He was killed yesterday by vampires.” “No,” I moan as the truth of his words hits, taking all the strength out of me. Elder Francis is dead…killed by vampires. The man who’s been my only protector in this cursed world is gone. “Yes, he’s gone,” Elder Felix says cruelly, “all because of girls like you who carry that awful, cursed mark around. A cursed mark that warrants the Sect to always protect you from their whoreful destiny. It’s sad that in the end of the day, you all will still end up with them, but on the Sect’s terms. Stupid terms that are always focused on exploitation anyway.” Looking up at the ceiling, tears stinging my eyes, I ask him, “What do you mean?” But he doesn't give me an answer. “Why?” I ask, but this time, I’m not asking Elder Felix, I’m asking god

~Carmen~ And I swear I feel something answer back. It’s faint... so very faint. But it sounds like my name. ‘Carmen.’ Soft warmth fills me at once, and it’s not the same warmth of the lust pumping through my blood. It’s the warmth of... affection. At least that’s what I think it is. It’s the only word my messed-up brain can come up with to describe the strange sensation. I let the warmth wrap around me like a fluffy cloud that will protect me. The throbbing between my legs begins to ease, not completely gone, but muffled. The air around me also seems to thin, and I find it easier to breathe. Sucking in big mouthfuls of air, my head begins to clear. The need to go to him is still there, but it’s not quite as extreme. I don’t feel like I’ll die from lust if I don’t find him and throw myself at him at this very minute. Which is good...almost too good. What happened? Where did this... protection come from? Did god take pity on me and decide to answer my prayers? Feeling

~Carmen~I startle awake.Blinking my eyes, I lift my chin from my knees and push through the stiffness in my neck to turn my head. Searching for whatever it was that disturbed me.But there’s nothing here. I push out of my little hideout into my room. Sunlight is streaming through the curtains. My phone is on the wardrobe floor, where I dropped it.Nothing is out of place. I’m completely alone.Sagging with relief, I let out a breath. It must have been a dream. He’s not here. He didn’t somehow break in while I slept.Sitting on my bed, I let my lashes lower, beginning to ease into sleep once again, but then I remember I can’t stay here. I need to get up. I need to move.Who knows how much time has passed? How much time have I already wasted?Jolting again, I open my eyes and look to the window, studying the sunlight. Given how weak it is, it must still be early morning. Which means I only passed out for a few minutes.Thank God.There’s still plenty of time to plan my escape. There’s

~Zegulf~Still, one can't take it away from the man that he’s after the welfare of his offspring. The request is for him and his family.Alaric is a large man, maybe an inch shorter than me, with a barrel chest and thick legs. If I didn’t smell the wolf deep within him, I’d mistake him for something else.His thick beard and long hair try without success to make him look much older than he probably is.“We’ll need a proper sit-down,” I say to him, “but now is not a good time. We need to get answers from the hunter before we act tonight.”Alaric grins through his beard. “No problem here. We’ll keep watch over your mate while you sort things out.”“The majority of my men can't be found in plain sight, still, If you need help with anything, don’t hesitate.”“I appreciate that. This city and the surrounding cities used to be big enough for my pack and Warsunng’s when we all migrated from the tropics. But over the last couple of years, it’s changing,” he says, and while I can sense he would
