Maliah’s POV
Mum stared at me with surprise written all over her features. From how she presently watched me, I knew she was shocked that this happened. She had a disappointed look on her face. I knew I had failed her in a way but I certainly didn’t have any choice.
Any normal teenager would have lied about it all, when her mum asked her for the truth. But for mermaids, it was so different. We were highly sincere in whatever we indulged in. This meant lying was like a disease; a plague. We sidestepped it because we weren’t programmed in that way.
It was how we lived, who we were and what defined us.
This was why lying to mum, would have been like a thousand thorns pierced inside my throat. None of our kind ever felt comfortable with being insincere.
“You knew the rules, Maliah.” she started out. My eyes breathed a lot with nervousness. I was
General POVTheir faces were filled with angst at each other. Veins stretching with so much contempt, at the sight of each other’s face. Both of their staffs were locked together. They both struggled for strength on who was more powerful. What they didn’t just know was that it was through combined efforts, the sea was what it was bound with togetherness.They separated from each other once again. The Queen ducked below, swinging her tail to hit the Sea Goddess from behind. But she foretold the move and dodged it. With a sole hand raising the staff, she gave it away to hit the Queen but she also calculated this move. Their fighting habits were similar because they were trained together as children.Thus, the battle went on for long.No one won.Instead, they both exhausted each other. Panting, puffing and wheezing out some aquatic liquid as they fought. This went on… Till when they w
The poor rat was apart in less than a milli-second. It was all thanks to the furious version of Kate. She appeared like she was boiling in so much anger. Her chest heaved up and down, making her hit the cage of where she was.Eyes, filled with anger. Veins, highlighting even more, her lips were quivering while she stared at me like she was so disgusted.“What did you just say?” she asked me, with an intimidating look all over her face. Though I didn’t miss the traces of blood from the rat too. The weak Celeste in the past, could have probably backed away, timidly. But this was different. I wasn’t the same as I was anymore. So, at every opportunity I got, I was going to speak.“Clearly it wouldn’t be the lack of good food, that turned you deaf in a couple of days.” I remarked, not even batting an eyelash. Merida was threatening to rip her apart right now but I was controlling her. Kate was a special prisoner
I have witnessed the type of person Killian was, in some instances. He was someone that got angry when his will was ignored, and what I was doing presently wasn’t far from it. But it was not because I wanted to? Instead, I knew I had to. It was because I was scared. I didn’t want to meet my previous pack ever again. And, judging from the political agreement he had made, it wasn’t helping situations at all.“Open the damn door, Celeste. Mate is getting really pissed.” Merida reminded. I closed my eyes tight, shutting her in instantly. She didn’t understand anything and I didn’t want her interfering.My back was still pressed against the wall with my hands on my knees. My face in between my legs as anxiously sat on the floor. It was Killian’s first attempt to rip the door off that geared me up. I stood up immediately, sighing. Threading my feet towards the direction of the door, I took the key which sat at a c
Killian’s hands peeled away the fabric slowly the minute I permitted him to. As he did, his fingers traced my skin all the way from the side of my arms to my upper leg. I let out a slight moan as his hand trailed my skin. He immediately brought his hand towards my upper body.He took his lips in mine again, kissing it desperately, with lots of sensations spinning in. My hands entwined around his back as he did that. In the soonest, it went down his muscles, running them through while I admired it. This has been something I’ve been wanting to do for long. And right now, presently, I felt like I was on top of the world.My heart thudded the instant he trailed kisses in between my chest. He gently unclipped my bra at the back carefully. My wolf purred when he took my nipples in between his teeth. With a thumb, he made circular motions around them, teasing them too. It was the most exquisite feeling I had ever felt.Killian’s hands cu
Tiffany’s POVConvincing my father wasn’t an issue. I knew he had influence on most of the elders this was why I did so. also made sure to give the idea of being allies with Fangs Clan Pack to Devin, my mate. It was a piece of cake and no big deal. I had just done his biddings. I used my body when I had to. As his mate, he was addicted to my scent and everything about me, and I knew this, thus, I used this to my advantage.Now that everything was set, I had to meet up with Brianna to make sure everything was arranged. I didn’t want anything to go wrong at all. The motive was just one in the pack gathering. While everyone would be distracted by being allies and making new friends, we’d be sneaking to one of our own.“Is the pick pocketer ready?” I asked Brianna with a sly smile. We had chosen to meet at the dress shop this time. Didn’t want to be counted as a suspect, when b
Killian went for some little business outside the pack, later in the day. I definitely craved to be by his side but there was nothing I could do about it. You could believe me when I said I hated it. So, I accepted my fate for today, sulking on a chair in the sitting room, while some pack members fooled around.They had given me appropriate respect, after bowing down. Although, I could also hear some luscious whispers too. “Do you feel that?” “It seems like our Luna is fully part of us.” “They mated!” Another shrieked. When she discovered I heard her, she fearfully scurried off, definitely afraid that I would have punished her.“You did well the other day, Celeste.” My gaze directed to my back, only to find Patricia, staring at me with a warm smile on her face. Though our relationship was somewhat strange, but this woman had been a great help to me all this while. If she hadn’t gave me a morale talk, I’d as well be dead by now.“I owe you, Patricia.” I m
“Ready?” Killian called out to me. I stretched my hands forward, as he took mine in his. I had taken in his appearance earlier, a navy-blue tuxedo with a bow tie and Oxford shoes which looked so expensive.His hair was gelled back smoothly which made him appear elegant. But he still looked ferocious and intimidating. All Alpha like that no one could dare cross his path.“Yeah.” I nervously let out, though not sure of what I had on. Caleb’s fashion designer had surprisingly clothed me in a black outfit. A gown with a sweetheart neckline and a slit by the side. My face was caked with so much makeup that I had difficulty in seeing my real face. My lips in a dark shade of purple lipstick.Dark, witchy and filled with power. That was what my whole makeup look was all about. With the combination of everything, I should definitely look like a Salem witch, awaiting trial.As myself and Killian stepped forward, I looked
I ran out of the room, with panic flooded in my chest. Although my step mom and siblings didn’t notice this because my mask tonight was something that shouldn’t be seen. As my stiletto stepped outside on the ground, the wind blew through my short hair instantly.Hybrid?I propounded.What did she mean by that?I had read books about them and they weren’t common at all. In all of werewolves’ history, only one in a thousand could ever be a hybrid and it was rare. Hybrids were so powerful. It was really hard to defeat one. They were fearless, like amazons. But that’s definitely how someone would describe me to be like.“Had a problem with the party?” My chest heaved up in panic once more. My eyes slowly turned to see who it was but I could only see the person’s silhouette. Since it was night, the figure wasn’t clear. But there was one thing I could never forget. The scent. That exact
