Serena was having the time of her life. Kendrick made her laugh so hard and he never left her side. A few of the men would have loved to dance with the princess but seeing the lycan following her everywhere, they couldn't. Some of them grumbled secretly as none of them would dare voice out their displeasure. They all knew how merciless the Alpha was. At a point, Kendrick was summoned by Logan so they could discuss a few things and he had to leave her side. He was reluctant, but he couldn't bring her with him. And it was her party. She needed to be with other people. It killed him to part with her and it was ridiculous but he didn't care. "Will you be okay by yourself?" he asked her, gazing into her eyes. "I'll be fine. I'll just mingle with a few people. It's my party after all and you actually stole my attention from everyone",Serena said with a giggle. She felt a little tipsy with the two glasses of champagne she downed and it made her feel g
It was way past midnight when the last guest left the mansion. Logan and his wife along with Serena stood at the entrance and bid the family of vampires goodbye. Afterwards, the door was shut closed and locked. Serena was exhausted. The party really drained her and she had been walking on heels and moving around with her heavy gown for more than five hours, getting to know new people. She felt tired but she trudged to the receiving room, where Kendrick was waiting for her. "Serena shouldn't you be going to bed now?" Isabel asked when she noticed Serena was going towards the receiving room. "I'll go soon mom. I just want to spend a little time with Kendrick",she replied. Isabel smiled and nodded at her before walking off to her room but Logan frowned. "The Alpha is still here? He disappeared a while ago and I thought he left",he grumbled. Isabel slapped his hand with a glare and she smiled at her daughter. "Your father
Serena blinked innocently at the enormous wolf in front of her. His paws were embedded deeply on the bed and she looked so small compared to the beast. She let out the breath she had been holding. This was by far the most magnificent and beautiful sight she had ever seen. The beast whined softly at her, wondering why his mate remained so still and silent. He nudged her face and a giggle escaped from her. She raised her hands and ran her fingers into his fur, feeling the soft texture of it. The beast purred in content, delighted at the tingling sparks that erupted at her touch. He lowered his massive form, allowing her to rest comfortably on his fur. "You're so beautiful",she whispered. The wolf's ears perked up at the compliment and nuzzled her face again. Her hands wrapped around his neck and she breathed in his scent. His fur felt so soft against her skin and soon she was fast asleep.The wolf watched her with love in his eyes. He rested his massive head carefully so he wouldn't wa
The previous night... The wolf kept trailing the creature, creeping closer. The creature was oblivious to the beast behind it and it walked towards the mountains. It was a hideous creature;skull head with large horns, yellow eyes and jagged teeth. Its whole body was a mass of rotten flesh crawling with worms. The night prowlers could always be seen clothed in a dark cloak, hiding their rotten bodies. But their terrible smell was distinguishable, especially for the shifters and vampires who had a sharp sense of smell. The wolf was closer to the creature now and was about to pounce on it when it disappeared suddenly. The wolf stopped and sniffed the air;the smell seemed to have disappeared with it. He scanned the thick forest and the base of the mountains but there was no sign of it. Something wasn't right. Kendrick shifted into his human form and examined the forest. Something was definitely wrong. He could feel it. Suddenly, he knew. He ha
Bloody and dismembered dead bodies of strange creatures littered every part of the ground around Kendrick. There was black blood splattered on the trees and grass. Kendrick leaned against a tree, breathing hard. His clothes were tattered and he had shifted back involuntarily after the fierce fight with the kanimas. His whole body was soaked with the black blood of the creatures and his eyes remained bloodred. Unable to hold himself anymore, he fell down hard on the ground, his vision grey around the red haze edges. On his back, there where three large ugly and bloody gashes. They were claw marks. The rest wounds on his body were already healed but the long gashes on his back remained opened, bleeding profusely. Kendrick was in terrible pain. He could feel his beast faintly. His fight with the kanimas had taken a toll on him and his beast was weak. He looked around him, his red eyes scanning the death scene. The last thing he remembered was shifting into h
Damian smiled darkly at Xavier's words. This came as a surprise to him. Xavier had never shown interest in someone and to think that he was already obsessed with this maid, it could only mean that it was serious between Xavier and the maid. His eyes roamed over Cassie's figure hungrily and he licked his lips again. He knew his uncle Logan would never agree to a relationship between Xavier and a lowly maid. He would wait, and when Logan forbade Xavier never to see the girl, he would get her for himself. Not for something serious, Damian thought. He wouldn't stoop so low to have a relationship with a bloody maid. He would only have her body, her enticing body that was already driving him crazy. He could already picture her naked body under his, his hands roaming her ripe curves, his cock buried deep inside her sweet entrance. He felt a hardon coming on and he looked down, noticing the thick bulge on his jeans. Xavier noticed it too and fury burned through him. He turned
The underworld was a place every astral creature never wished to be. Cruel was an understatement. It was a bleak world filled with unending screams and it was ruled by Hades, the god of the underworld and the ruler of the dead. Cerberus, the hound of hades snarled at the mistress as she approached the entrance of the underworld. The entrance was a portal, hidden deeply in the desert of no return, a place no one ever ventured. Cerberus growled warningly, its blood red eyes filled with venom, its terrifying huge body crouched down dangerously, each head glaring at the black witch in hate. It roared angrily as she walked closer to the gates of the underworld. "Silence you damn mutt",the mistress scoffed, totally unafraid. But she flicked her wrist and a thin layer of protection appeared around her. Though she hated Hades' guard dog, she knew better. She wouldn't be caught unaware. She stared at the three headed beast in disdain as she walked past it into
Few hours earlier..... Cassie rushed her dinner in the kitchen where she and the other maids ate. They were all chattering with one another and no one said a word to her. They all kept away from her ever since what happened to Sheila and Estella. Sheila and Estella had been fired and banished from the coven by the prince, after being tortured. This action put enough fear in their hearts to make them keep their observations to themselves. Everyone now knew that Cassie was the prince's lover and no one spoke rudely to her anymore. Even the elderly maids seemed to respect her. So as Cassie ate in silence, she listened to their conversations. She didn't mind that they all stayed away from her. She was used to being alone. She had been alone with her mother for a long time till she met Xavier. The other younger maids talked about the kind of men they would love to meet, giggling and blushing while the elderly maids only smiled and gave them advise once in
