Mag-log in“You are a fool. I have never seen a more stupid and naive girl than you. Such a troublemaker! Because of you, I'm late for class.”Little Angela hiccupped through her tears. His words hurt more than every insult Daniela and her friends had ever thrown at her. Gideon had saved her for the second time, only for her to accidentally drag him into the pool as well, soaking him from head to toe. “I…I’m sorry,” she sobbed.Gideon groaned, shoving his wet hair back and glaring down at her trembling form. She shrank under the fury blazing in his silver stormy eyes. “Go home. Stay there instead of creating trouble everywhere you go. Because nobody is going to save you next time.” His voice hardened. “People here hate pathetic humans like you. No wonder they despise your kind. You bring nothing but problems. Such a nuisance.”He glanced at his drenched clothes in irritation before turning away.Angela wrapped her arms around herself, shivering. For a moment, she'd allowed herself to hope, see
“What is it? We'll do anything to save her!” Rebecca demanded urgently. “We need to keep her body cold. Otherwise, this heat will kill her.” Zamini turned sharply to Nora. “Fill the bathtub with ice. A lot of ice.” “But what are you going to do with it?” Nora asked, confused. Rebecca immediately understood. “We'll keep Angela submerged in cold water until her husband arrives. It worked before. Dr. Zamini suggested the same treatment for a she-wolf in our pack whose mate was away.” She grabbed Nora’s wrist. “Come on!”“Becca, how is Angela? Is she okay? Why isn't her husband here yet?” Draven bombarded them with questions the moment they stepped outside. He had been hearing her screams for a while now and it had put him in worry. Nora glanced at Daniela standing behind him and shot her a cold glare. Daniela frowned at the hostility, but Nora ignored her completely and rushed downstairs.“We can't say anything yet, Draven. We're just trying to keep her stable. Please don't let any
Angela felt her body give out as a burning sensation tore through her lungs. Water filled her mouth, her chest, her senses. She couldn't breathe.Just when she thought she was going to die, a powerful yank dragged her upward onto the surface. Someone hauled her onto the poolside and pressed firmly against her chest. Water burst from her lungs.Coughing violently, Angela blinked her eyes open. Her blurred vision filled with a clear blue sky, but a wet head suddenly blocked her view. Stormy silver eyes glared down at her.“Did you want to die?”The boy's voice cracked like a whip. Nine-year-old Angela immediately froze.Droplets rolled from his soaked hair onto her face. Trembling, she pushed herself up slightly and glanced around.A group of girls stood nearby, laughing. At their center stood her sister. Daniela was staring at her with a smug smile.The realization struck Angela hard. They wanted her dead. Her eyes instantly filled with tears. She puckered her lips out in panic. “Who
With a stunned expression, Angela looked around frantically. Darkness greeted her in every direction, broken only by the pale light illuminating Damon’s face before her. “Where am I?” she demanded, glaring at him. “Under my care.” A crooked smile tugged at his lips. There was no denying the man's striking looks, but to Angela, he was nothing more than an enemy. “What do you want? Why did you bring me here, Damon?” His eyes gleamed with something intense “I like that spirit, Angela. Since you're so direct, I'll tell you. Sit.” A chair slid into place behind her as if summoned by an invisible force. Shooting him a suspicious look, she sat down. Fear coiled inside her stomach, but she suppressed it. “First of all, you probably know why I'm here. Why I've been hunting you.” “Kesha sent you,” she said with a sigh. Damon chuckled. “I don't waste my time chatting with prey, Peanut. If you're here with me, there's a far more important reason.” Curiosity flickered through he
If it weren't for the sofa beneath her, Angela was certain her legs would have given out. Her heart hammered violently against her ribs as she sat frozen, the same dreadful feeling from the forest creeping back into her bones. From the corner of her eye, she watched the man's torso while desperately thinking of her next move. The suffocating silence in the room pressed against her chest. Then Nick slowly poured red wine into a glass. The soft trickle echoed through the room, hitting her nerves. She needed time. Until Gideon and Orion arrived. Lowering her phone's volume, she secretly dialed Gideon’s number before clearing her throat. "You see, I would never want to lose you as a friend, but what you did was wrong. And having Daniela by your side was even worse, Jordan." ‘Damn you, Gideon. Pick up.’ When the call went unanswered, she immediately dialed Orion. The moment he answered, she locked the screen and casually played with the phone in her hand. "You should know that I al
Angela smirked and turned around with a questioning look. “You look beautiful tonight.” “Thanks, Jordan.” She nodded. He glanced around before rubbing the back of his neck nervously. “How are you? I mean… your heat?” “I’m coping with it. The pain is still there, but it should be gone by morning.” Angela replied calmly. He nodded, but his expression remained conflicted. He looked as though he was fighting an internal battle. “Do you want to say something, Jordan?” His eyes lifted to hers before dropping again. “I… I want to talk to you. Only if you allow me.” Angela folded her arms. “Sure…Speak.” He cleared his throat and looked around. “Not here. Maybe we could have a drink somewhere private?” A spark of amusement flickered in her eyes. So he was finally making his move. “Why not?” Turning toward Nick, she instructed, “Nora to send drinks to the guest room.” “Do you want me to come with you, Luna?” Nick asked immediately. “No, Nick. He’s family.” Jordan v
A thunderous growl tore through the room as Gideon’s pupils dilated, the whites of his eyes drowning into pitch black. In the next heartbeat, He spun and seized Dr Zamini by the throat, hurling her against the wall. The fury radiating from him suffocated the air around her. Yet she had anticipated
“A human can be born to werewolf parents under rare exceptions, but there is no way a supernatural being disguised in human form is born to werewolves, especially when he or she is not a werewolf.”Dash stated grimly, his gaze fixed on Angela’s motionless figure on the bed. She had fainted the mome
Gideon stopped walking and turned to face his hyperventilating wife. His eyes glazed at her blanched face, but what truly ticked him were the words she uttered. His smouldering gaze pricked Angela’s skin as dread seeped into every cell of her body, anticipating his reaction.Before she could read t
“Alpha, Draven Griffin is here!” Dash’s voice through the mind-link snapped Gideon’s focus from Angela. His lips curled into a dangerous smirk. She fell silent at the sudden shift in his expression. “Your ex-fuckboy is here,” He muttered. Angela blinked. Her thoughts flew to Axel and his health
