{Dominic}

The morning sun streamed through the curtains, slowly creeping across the floor until it streaked over my face. I growled and rolled over, but it was of no use, I was already awake.

I sat up and stretched, shaking the remnants of sleep from my body, but my mind was still haunted by the ghost of a woman in red.

She had slipped through my fingers at the very last second, vanishing into the chaos, and no matter how many times I scoured the ballroom after the fire, I had to finally accept that she was gone.

Shoving the blankets aside, I swung my legs out of bed, and got up. Ever since last night, my wolf stirred restlessly beneath my skin, it felt agitated, like it knew there was nothing that could be done.

Grumbling, I stalked into the bathroom. The lights flickered on automatically, and my reflection stared back at me from the massive mirror. There were dark circles under my eyes, but the faint shimmer of gold still flickered in my irises. I looked like hell, and I felt even w

  • The Alpha's Fated Desire   CHAPTER NINETY-FIVE

    {Lyra}It was safe to say that I wasn’t a fan of Dominic as of that moment, and it was justified. His father, along with his entire pack, literally slaughtered my ancestors and drove them out of their hometown while my mother was pregnant with me.But even with that, I wasn't heartless. I noticed how Dominic’s shoulders caved in when he was talking to Doctor Maek about Odessa’s condition. He looked like a balloon that had been poked with a pin, and all the air was slowly seeping out.I tried my best to cheer him up, but I felt like there was this wall between us now, and no matter how much I wanted to, I couldn’t just immediately break through, because deep down, I knew Odessa wasn’t going to get better unless I did something.And that’s how I found myself at the stone doors of the secret garden for the second time that day, and what I also prayed would be the very last time I would have to come here. I pushed the key into the door and turned, causing the doors to groan open as I step

    {Dominic}It all happened so fast. One second, Evangeline had placed her hand on Odessa’s forehead, making her eyes fly open with that weird green glow, and the next thing I knew, there was a small explosion.The impact threw Evangeline backward and into the air. My eyes flashed, and I leaped in the direction she was falling toward, and caught her in my arms before she hit the floor.I felt her shudder as my arms closed around her, and her eyes were shut tight, but after a few seconds, when she realized that she hadn’t slammed into the wall, she looked up, and I offered her a small smile.But she didn’t smile back, and instead, quickly pushed away from me, standing on her own two feet. I wanted to ask why she was so hostile all of a sudden, but before I could, I heard a loud screech that made not just me, but Evangeline and doctor Maek cover their ears as well.The sound was coming from Odessa, and she was trembling, causing the bed to shake violently.“Doctor!” I yelled, looking at h

    {Lyra}“The witch?” she repeated with a soft chuckle, “I’d prefer if you called me by my name, I’m Alissa.” She placed a hand over her chest.Her voice was gentle and soothing, but something about her made me weak in the knees. Fear had already started to creep into my chest again, and I’m sure my heart pounded so loudly she must have heard it.“Don’t be afraid, little one. I’m not going to hurt you,” she said, finally dropping to the ground so her feet touched the floor.My legs finally stopped wobbling, but I still stumbled back a few steps, wanting to put a little bit of distance between us. Alissa chuckled as she watched me, “Don’t you think if I wanted to hurt you. Lyra, I would have done it a long time ago?”I frowned, mostly because she had a point. Whenever I was in trouble, I would hear her voice, or the ring would react in some way. She was the only reason why I managed to survive that entire time.“Be that as it may, it still doesn’t explain why Odessa is lying in a bed ri

    {Lyra}Dominic’s grip on my wrist tightened even more, making me wince. The usual warmth in his eyes had completely disappeared and was replaced by a strange, savage glint.“Answer me, Evangeline.” he growled deeply. There was absolutely no room for games in his voice, and I knew, right then and there, that I’d been caught.“But I can’t understand why he would act like this over a simple key, or was it more than that?” I pondered.My lips parted, ready to argue, but I thought about it and clamped my mouth shut. Lying to him wouldn’t help me in any way right now, and honestly, I really didn’t have the energy to keep beating around the bush.“I was returning the ring. That’s it.” I finally said.His brows drew together like I had just confessed to murder right in front of him. “What ring? You mean the witch’s ring?”“Yes,” I said, exhaling softly.I watched his jaw clench as he spoke, “Why did you take it?” His hand clenched my wrist tighter, and I couldn’t help it anymore.“Ow!” I yelp

    {Lyra}“First question, who was that man ?”Varen raised a brow, staring at me, “What are you talking about?”“Don’t try to be smart, Varen.” I hissed, glaring at him. “You know who I’m talking about.”Varen smirked, taking another bite of his pie, “I’m not sure I do, enlighten me.”“The man in the black and gold mask at the gala yesterday.” I snapped, earning a chuckle from Varen.“He was what you would call an acquaintance.” He said, taking another slice of his pie.I furrowed my brow at how nonchalant he was being about this whole ordeal, “Well, acquaintance or not, I don’t appreciate strangers casually approaching me, and threatening me for no fucking reason.”I heard him growl, and he paused with the fork just metres from his mouth, then he set the fork back down and looked me straight in my eyes. “Now listen here, little girl. I need to make sure that you are kept in check, and if that means surprise visits from a few of my acquantainces…” he paused, licking his lips menacingly,

    {Dominic}“Damn it, Odessa, open your eyes!” I yelled even as my voice cracked, and I shook her gently in my arms.Her body had completely gone limp, and she was slowly starting to get colder with each passing second. My annoying, lovable little sister had just fallen from the sky, and while her lips turned blue and her eyelids fluttered faintly, I knelt there, watching as she slowly slipped away.“Don’t do this,” I muttered, pulling her close to my chest. “Come on, Odessa. This isn’t funny.” I cried, but there was no response. Her fingers didn’t so much as twitch under the sound of my voice.I felt the panic inside of me grow, slowly but surely. It got to the point that I could barely even think straight anymore, and I immediately stood up. One second, I was kneeling on the grass, and the next, I was running across the estate with Odessa in my arms.The muscles in my legs bulged as I ran faster at a speed that any electric caddy could dare hope to match. I could barely feel Odessa’s

    {Dominic}The shards of glass from the table glinted on the floor but I didn’t care… I was pissed. Kael’s smug little play had revealed just how Varen had intended to play this game.“Son of a...” I hissed through my teeth and turned away before I started punching walls next.Ryker stayed quiet for a while, then he cleared his throat and asked. “So, what now?”My eyes were fixed on the far end of the conference room, and my head was a mess. “Call every single ally we’ve got,” I barked, finally glancing in his direction. “I don’t care if they’re an old acquaintance or a distant cousin of an Elder. We need all the numbers we can get.”Ryker raised a brow. “Are you sure about that, Alpha? Some of them aren’t exactly fans of the Bloodhound name.”“I would rather deal with whatever awkward reunion that comes from reaching out to them, than have our bones picked clean by those fucking monsters.”He nodded gruffly, “I’ll get the entire company involved, that way we can act quicker.” he said,

  • The Alpha's Fated Desire   CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHT

    {Lyra}I stood in front of the stone doors that led into the secret garden, holding Odessa’s iron key in one hand and the folded handkerchief in the other. My heart beat softly against my ribs, but still loud enough that I could hear it.I inhaled deeply, trying to shake off the nerves, “Alright, let’s see what you’re hiding, witch.” I mumbled and pushed the key into the small keyhole of the stone door.The door groaned as it creaked open, to reveal the hidden world that still looked as magical as the very first time I saw it. Dew clung to every petal, and the eerie breeze came with the scent of magic.But my eyes snapped right to the witch’s statue, and I narrowed my eyes. She knelt at the centre of it all, with her hands outstretched, and her fingers bare. I squeezed the handkerchief in my hand a little tighter.“The heart of the ring lies where silence breathes…” I whispered, recalling the strange parchment. My eyes narrowed on the statue. If there was a seal, then it had to be her

    {Dominic}I pushed open the old wooden door, and it creaked terribly, easily alerting Allen of my arrival. The moment I stepped through the heavy doors, the smell of burnt herbs hit me square in the face. “He really needed to crack a window in here.”“Knock next time,” he muttered, voice low.I ignored him and stepped inside. “Didn’t know I needed permission to check on a threat to the pack.”He put the quill down, stretched his long fingers, and leaned back in his chair. “We have a problem,” he said plainly.“You don’t say.”He pushed up from his seat and crossed the room, waving for me to follow. “Your men have been bringing in more bodies. At first, it was the usual corpses as always, but now…”Allen threw back a thick tarp covering a slab in the corner, revealing three bodies, each more grotesque than the last. The first looked half-rotted, the second was slightly more intact, with black veins webbing like a parasite beneath the surface. But the third made my eyes narrow; Its sk
