last update Last Updated: 2025-05-01 22:16:26

Alpha Gabriel stood at the center of his lavish foyer when the heavy double doors creaked open, golden light casting sharp shadows across his face. Athena strode in, draped in a slinky blood-red dress that clung to her every curve like a second skin.

Gabriel’s lips curled into a slow smile. “Athena,” he greeted, his voice rich with curiosity as he extended his hand.

She offered hers with a soft, calculating smile, and he brushed a kiss across her knuckles, lingering longer than necessary.

“To what do I owe this... surprise visit?” he asked, eyes roaming over her.

Without answering, Athena leaned in and captured his mouth in a deep, burning kiss. Gabriel responded instantly, pulling her closer as she murmured between kisses, her voice low and sultry.

“I was restless... and you came to mind.”

Gabriel’s hand slid from her cheek down to her bare shoulder, fingers gliding over her exposed skin. “You just let the feeling take over...” he murmured.

Athena smirked wickedly, gripped his arms,

They flew cleanly through the air, lodging perfectly in the guards' throats before either could make a sound.They hurried onward, following the faint but unmistakable scent of Elena, growing stronger with each step. Rounding a corner, they spotted three more guards stationed outside a heavy iron door.Without hesitation, Cameron unleashed three more daggers. Each struck with lethal precision, burying deep into the guards' necks.

    Freya sat in the car with her mother, heading back to Blackwood Town. They had left right after her father's death, but now, after the tragic loss of her roommate and the relentless nightmares that followed, her mother had decided to bring her back.She would be staying with her grandfather to continue her studies at Blackwood University. Now, in her sophomore year, all she wanted was for the nightmares to end and to find her way back to some sense of normalcy.As they pulled up to her grandfather's quaint apartment, Freya reached for the door handle, but her mother gently took her other hand."Listen, everything will be fine," Catherine assured her.Freya pressed her lips together and nodded. "I know, Mum."Catherine offered her a weak smile.Just then, the front door opened, and Jeffery, her grandfather, stepped outside."Gramps...," Freya exclaimed, stepping out of the car. She rushed to him, wrapping her arms around him in a hug."My beautiful Fae," Jeffery said warmly."Hey, Pops

    Freya walked into the hall with Raven by her side. They had met on her first day of lectures and instantly connected. It wasn't just chance-they had gone to the same middle school before everything changed: before her father died, before her mother married Billy, before she had to leave Blackwood behind.As they moved forward, Freya's eyes landed on a familiar figure. Dominic. He walked down the corridor with his usual crowd, confident as always.Dominic was a senior, and though they had barely interacted, Freya couldn't deny the pull she felt toward him. In the weeks she had been here, all that had passed between them was a single stare. Yet, when he looked up at her, she couldn't help but be drawn to his striking crimson eyes.Their eyes met briefly once again. His crimson eyes-so intense, so unnatural-held her still. Her heart skipped a beat.Red. How could she be drawn to red eyes? She had always loved blue, the color of her own-the shade she once thought was the most beautiful.A

    The Blackwood Bar was alive with music, its heavy bass thrumming through the floor as bodies moved in rhythm under dim, flickering lights. The air was thick with the scent of alcohol, perfume, and the electric energy of the night.Dominic stepped inside with Cameron, Elena, and her friends close behind. The moment they entered, Elena tugged on his arm."Let's dance," she whined, pressing herself against him."Drinks first," Dominic said, his voice firm as he led her toward the bar counter.Behind the counter, Freya was busy mixing drinks, her hands moving instinctively as she poured and stirred. She didn't expect to look up and find Dominic leaning in, suddenly so close."Can I get a Wilderness Whiskey and a Moonlight Brew?" he asked, his voice smooth yet commanding.Freya froze, her fingers tightening around the bottle in her hands. His crimson eyes locked onto hers, burning, searching. For a second, she forgot to breathe.Dominic flicked his fingers impatiently, breaking the moment.

    Freya moved through the building, her footsteps echoing down the hallway as the murmur of female voices filled the halls. She entered a small dorm room with two beds, spotting a blonde lady sitting cross-legged on one of the beds."Hey, roomie," Freya called out casually, setting her bag down on her bed. The blonde, Emily, barely glanced up, her fingers tightening around the edge of her pillow. "I saw you with Logan," she said coldly. "What the hell were you doing with my boyfriend?"Freya sighed and frowned, recalling her conversation with him as she turned to face her. "Emily, we were just talking. Nothing else."Emily got up from the bed and took a step closer. "Then why did he break up with me right after your little chat?" A tense silence stretched between them."What?" Freya's eyes widened in shock, her brows knitting together. "I never told him anything. I swear. I even made it clear I would never be with him. You have to believe me."But Emily wasn't listening.Her hand slip

    Freya sat on the swing on the patio, gently swaying as the cool evening breeze brushed against her skin. She barely noticed when Jeffery came and settled beside her."There's a lovely breeze this evening," he said."Yeah," she murmured.Jeffery studied her for a moment. "What's going on with you, Fae?"Freya exhaled, rubbing her hands together. "I don't understand why everything is happening all at once, Gramps. My roommate's death... the crazy man from yesterday..."Jeffery nodded slowly. "Listen, the man from yesterday was crazy like you said. And you had nothing to do with your roommate's death."Freya turned to him, her blue eyes troubled. "But I was there. I remember... she came at me and put a knife to my neck, accusing me of breaking her and her boyfriend up. He was my boyfriend in high school, but I swear, Gramps, I never said anything to him."She swallowed hard before continuing. "Then suddenly... she collapsed onto the bed. There were these claw marks on her neck... blood e

    The forest closed in around her like a shroud; Freya stumbled through the fog-choked trees, her breaths ragged, her steps heavy. The gnarled branches reached for her, scraping against her skin as the shadows whispered, their voices a call of chilling threats. She pushed forward, her heart pounding so loudly she could scarcely hear her own thoughts. As she drew closer, the light illuminated the scene, revealing various animals watching her. But what caught her attention was a lone wolf sitting on a rock, gazing at a group of wolves perched on tree stumps. The wolves turned around and howled at the lone wolf. A massive wolf with piercing red eyes walked to the lone wolf, lifting its head to the full moon and howling. The lone wolf opened its mouth to join, but no sound came. It tried again-Freya's eyes flew open.She gasped for breath, her chest rising and falling in frantic rhythm, She was in her room. The nightmare of the forest and wolves was gone, replaced by the morning sun comi

    Freya stepped into the university building, gripping the small cake box in her hands. She had spent hours baking it, hoping Dominic would appreciate the gesture.Her eyes scanned the hall until they landed on him. He stood by the noticeboard, his broad shoulders relaxed, his gaze focused on the pinned announcements.She took a steadying breath. 'Just walk up to him. It's just a thank you.'Summoning her courage, she approached. "Good morning."Dominic turned, his deep eyes meeting hers. A small smile tugged at his lips. "Good morning," he replied. "How are you feeling?""Great," she said, shifting slightly on her feet. "And, um... I actually baked this for you." She held out the box, her heart beating just a little faster. "...To thank you-for everything. For helping me that night and making sure I got home safely." Dominic glanced at the cake, then back at her. "You didn't have to," he said, taking the box. "But thank you. I'm sure Elena will love it too."Freya felt a slight pang i

    Cameron slid the key into the lock and pushed unlocked the door to Dominic and Elena’s place. He stepped inside with Jasmine, Meg, and Sean close behind, all of them quiet with worry.As they entered the living room, they stopped in their tracks.Dominic was on the sofa, shirtless, tangled with a woman in a heated kiss.“E-Elena…?” Jasmine called out, stunned.Dominic looked up at the sound of her voice, calm and unfazed.The woman beside him turned.But it wasn’t Elena in his arms.It was Regina.A tense silence filled the room. Everyone stood still, eyes wide with shock, too surprised to move.“What the hell is going on?” Cameron asked, his voice sharp as he moved forward.Dominic stood, running a hand through his tousled hair while Regina leaned against him with a lazy smirk, wrapping an arm protectively around her.“Guys, relax,” Dominic said. “Nothing’s wrong. Regina and I are in love.”Jasmine scoffed. “In love?”Sean let out a dry laugh. “What the heck?”Cameron stared at Domin

    Morning light spilled through the curtains as Dominic sat up, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. A dull ache throbbed behind his temples—a leftover echo of the dream, or vision, that had haunted him through the night. Something felt off. He could sense it. He dragged himself out of bed and padded downstairs barefoot, raking a hand through his hair. A soft clatter came from the kitchen."Elena...?" he called, stepping into the doorway.The figure at the stove turned.But it wasn’t her."Good morning," Regina said sweetly, her voice smooth as honey.Dominic stopped cold. She wore Elena’s robe. Her damp hair curled just the way Elena’s did after a shower. But the smile she gave him—it didn’t reach her eyes.His jaw tensed. "How did you get in?"She didn’t answer.Before he could move, she was already crossing the room. Her arms slipped around his waist, and before he could react, her lips were on his.For a split second, confusion and resistance rose inside him until a bolt of sharp, blind

    Dominic lay on the bed, eyes fixed on the ceiling, thoughts churning like a storm, regret pressing hard against his chest. The silence was deafening, thick with the echo of choices he wished he hadn’t made. He should’ve never left her side—no matter how angry he’d been. That’s exactly what Regina wanted. She needed him out of the way. She needed him blind.That’s exactly how she worked—wait for a crack, then tear everything apart.He had called Athena—once, twice. No answer. No guidance. Just more silence.And Elena? Still gone. Out there in the dark, and he couldn’t even feel her presence anymore. Regina must’ve done something—something to sever the connection between them.His fingers clenched the bedsheet as his mind spiraled. A sharp pain pulsed behind his eyes. He winced, gripping the edge of the mattress as the room tilted around him.He squeezed his eyes shut, gasping. Then—like a vision tearing through the fog—he saw her.Elena.She stood far ahead in the forest, bathed in sil

    Dominic entered the apartment, each step echoing in the silence. It was too quiet, too still. There was no sound of her voice calling from the kitchen, or laughter, just a heavy, suffocating silence.He moved to the dining room, where her presence lingered like perfume, clinging to every surface. He sat down, eyes fixed on nothing until he saw her.She walked toward him, radiant and smiling, a plate in her hands. "I just created a recipe," she said, that familiar light in her eyes. "Can you taste it for me?"He reached for her, but his fingers met only air.His heart dropped as he stood quickly, breath tight in his chest, and moved to the living room. And he saw them.They were wrapped in each other in the glow of the fireplace. Firelight danced across their bare skin, her laughter ringing like music through the room. Their love burned as fiercely as the flames. He moved within her as she arched beneath him, completely lost in each other.He smiled softly, painfully, until it faded a

    Dominic stepped into the clearing, the soft rustle of leaves beneath his boots the only sound. The air smelled of memory—earth, pine, and the faintest trace of something old. He stood at the edge of the forest clearing, the place he and Regina—Sasha—had once called their secret spot, where they used to meet long before everything changed. The wind whispered through the trees, carrying memories that felt both distant and close.He turned at the sound of approaching footsteps. Regina stood there, her expression unreadable.“You’re angry because I couldn’t love you the way you wanted,” Dominic said, his voice low but steady. “And I can’t change that, no matter how much I wish I could. But what we had—what we were—was real. I wasn’t blind to how you felt back then. I just thought… I hoped time would heal it. I never imagined it would twist into this.”Regina didn’t speak. She only stared at him, her eyes flickering with emotions dancing just behind the coldness.Dominic walked toward her,

    Two men dragged a bound, struggling woman down a cold, dimly lit stone hallway. Her face was concealed beneath a coarse black sack, and her wrists were shackled in silver-laced chains that clinked with every step. When they reached the centre of the chamber, they shoved her forward. She hit the ground hard, falling to her knees, breath ragged beneath the cloth.“Well, well…” a man drawled, dressed too neatly for someone so casual, his voice smooth and mocking—like velvet laced with venom. “Look what we have here. My future mistress.” He gestured lazily. “Take that ridiculous thing off her.”One of the guards yanked the sack away. Elena blinked rapidly against the sudden light, her face pale—her mouth was gone, just smooth skin where her lips should have been. Slowly and painfully, it began to reform, the skin shifting unnaturally. Her golden eyes flared with fury.“Ah, there she is,” the man purred, a dark chuckle escaping his lips. “Our little guest of honour. Still got some fight in

    Dominic sat hunched at the bar, nursing a half-empty glass of beer cradled in his hand. The amber liquid shimmered in the dim light, but his eyes were distant, lost in thought, unfocused.Freya stepped behind the counter, her apron slung over one shoulder, ready to start her shift. She spotted him immediately—alone, shoulders heavy, haunted—and quietly made her way over."Hey..." she said softly.Dominic glanced up, his voice flat. "Starting your shift?""Yeah," she replied with a small smile. "Thanks for asking."As she leaned on the bar across from him, a weight settled in her chest. His silence was loud, thick with pain. The kind you didn't need to name to feel. She could feel the weight of his sadness like a fog pressing down around him."Dominic," she said gently.He looked at her, eyes tired. "Do you need something, Freya?" His voice was rough, like he hadn't spoken to anyone all day.She shook her head. "No. I just... wanted to say something."He raised an eyebrow, waiting.She
