I sighed in relief as I slipped into the forest, unseen by the pack guards or a wandering wolf. If my father found out, explaining would be a hassle. I could say I was going for a run, but I was heading for the pack borders, it would be difficult to explain The cold wind bit through my coat, and I instinctively pulled it tighter. Memories of that night flooded back, the horde of vampires, the fight that happened. But now, I carefully looked around, there was no trace. No pile of corpses , no black blood staining the ground. it was completely gone, erased just like my injures, It was as if it had never happened. If not for the mate mark burning on my neck, I might have doubted it myself., I masked my scent before coming here. Not that it mattered—there were no vampires in sight. I followed the path where the car had stopped, where those green eyes nearly tore into me. The car was gone, but the fallen tree remained. I searched, but there was no sign of the green-eyed or silver-eyed vampires. An idea struck me, after wandering around aimlessly, since we were bound by the mate bond, I could use it. my fingertips grazed the spot the mate mark was located, the thought of stabbing into it sent a shiver down my spine, the memory of the pain I felt still vivid,. But it was the quickest way. If he was anywhere nearby, he’d feel it and come straight to me, being assaulted by the same pain. I steadied my breath, closing my eyes as my fingers hovered over the mark. Just as I was about to stab Something approached me, Fast. I jerked back, barely avoiding the grip reaching for me. I plead my eyes open staring into a pair of silver ones, his eyes cold, I felt it instantly, this was my mate, he smelled like earth after a rain pour mixed with spice, it was both soothing and intoxicating, I wanted more of his scent, to hold him, to mark him, 'fuck' I cursed under my breath, staring at him, feeling the pull getting stronger and Kaia wanting to gain control, my heartbeat raised becoming uneven, seeing him, feeling this pull towards him shattered my illusion that maybe all this was a dream, that maybe I was mated to someone else but now there was no denying it, I was fated to a vampire His inky black hair fluttered with the wind as he stared down at me then to my claws few inches away from the mark, his expression darkening instantly staring at him, he locked breathtaking, the feeling of being able to smell him was like bliss, but I felt nothing but disgust and anger staring into his empty eyes, he also didn't seem particularly happy to see me "You imprinted on me," I spat. "Without my consent." Kaia, my wolf, flinched, but I ignored her. I wouldn’t let her stop me from confronting him. Valerian POV: I stared at my mate, the label almost making me laugh, vampires don't usually find their mates, even forgetting the fact that we have one, since we hardly ever find each other, so we settle for someone living out our life But who would have thought a lycan would be my fated?, the Lycan king sheltered doll, the way she stared at me with disgust only made me want to see what other emotions her eyes could show me Somehow, I had entered her dream, calling for her without even realizing it. I still didn’t fully understand how this mate bond worked—I’d never thought about finding my mate, never wanted one if they were weak or useless. But she wasn’t as fragile as I’d assumed. I’d seen the carnage she left behind, the lifeless bodies of my kind. She had torn through them without hesitation. "Rafael" I called out and with seconds he was already by my side, her eyes widened when she saw him, she must have recognized his green eyes "I'll answer all your questions if you can get the upper hand in a fight with him" she seemed taken aback by my demand "Why should I do what you say?" "I'm sure you need answers from me" I signaled Rafael go to approach her, she didn't back away I watched her closely She was stronger—stronger than I expected. Not just physically, but in the way she carried herself. Defiant. Proud. A perfect contradiction to the fragile, sheltered princess I assumed she’d be. "Rafael," I called, my voice steady. "Test her." I needed to know if she would be worthy before sharing any information with her, I've always thought it would be useful having a lycan on the inside that could work for me, but if she wasn't useful i would have to kill her He didn’t hesitate. In a blink, he moved, going straight for her throat. She reacted fast, dodging just in time. She didn’t panic, Instead, she countered, swiping at his chest with her claws. Rafael dodged, avoiding most of it, but she still managed to tear his jacket. Not bad. Rafael smirked, I noticed how his posture changed. He was taking her seriously now. She didn’t wait for him to recover. Smart. She lunged low, aiming for his ribs. He blocked, but she adjusted midair, slamming her elbow into his jaw. The sound of the impact echoed through the forest. That surprised him. Rafael wiped the blood on his lip. "Not bad, you're stronger than you look" he muttered. Alina rolled her shoulders. "You talk too much." she shot back even as she heaved for breaths A laugh escaped me before I could stop it. I hadn’t expected this to be so entertaining. Rafael moved again, faster this time. He feinted left, then swept low, trying to knock her off her feet. Alina barely avoided it, twisting at the last second. But she wasn’t fast enough to dodge his next move—he grabbed her wrist and pulled hard, trying to flip her onto the ground. Instead of resisting, she used the momentum to launch herself off his chest, kicking him in the process. Rafael staggered back.Alina landed gracefully, her breathing heavy but steady, both going at each other, Rafael attacked again, faster, forcing her to keep up. She slipped under his strike, landed a kick to his ribs, but he recovered quickly. His counterstrike connected—a sharp hit to her side that sent her skidding back. She caught herself, breathing hard but steady "That's enough" I say ending the fight, Rafael had the tip of his claws pointing at her neck and she had her claws pointing at his groin, I'm curious to see who would be able to reach the other first but neither of the outcome would be favorable to me

The Vampire's deathmarked lycan Chapter seven: Questions and Answers
Alina pov: I watched as the green-eyed vampire pulled his claws away from me, and I retracted mine, turning to face my mate."You owe me answers," I said, narrowing my eyes at himHe inclined his head slightly in acknowledgment, so I continued."What is this place?" The question has been on my mind since the first time I stumbled upon this forest . A place crawling with vampires, this close to the pack borders? I could have asked my father, but explaining how I came across it would raise too many questions. surrounding how I came across it, besides I doubt he would sit still knowing vampires were lurking just outside the borders of the pack, father has no idea, so this is my best short getting my desired answer "A wasteland" he said "centuries of war turned it to ruin, too much death and blood, the warewolves abandoned it long ago, labelling it as a cursed ground and no one should trend on it" A wasteland, no wonder no warewolf patrolled this area, but why haven't I heard of it, I

Alina I watched Jeremy from across the hall, my eyes suddenly wet with tears. All his life, he had trained for this moment—to stand as the Lycan King. Now, there he was, on the podium, neatly dressed beside Father and the pack elders. The sight should have filled me with pride, but instead, a knot of sorrow and regret twisted inside me.After returning to the pack house, all I wanted was to burst into Father’s and Jeremy’s rooms and spill everything I’d heard, explanations and consequences be damned—but it was too late in the night. I had to wait until dawn to drag Mom, Dad, and Jeremy into Father’s office..When I told them everything, shock etched every face. We kept the discussion away from the pack elders; we couldn’t risk alerting anyone. We didn’t know who might be the insider and working with the witches, so we couldn't risk anyone finding out we knew, The council should have had an idea of what the Black Witches were planning, yet no action had been taken. That made me suspec

Alina Pov:We drove for a while, leaving the dense forest behind and merging onto a paved road. The moon hung high, casting its silver glow over everything. I couldn't tear my eyes away from the towering glass buildings that stretched into the sky. I was officially out of the pack’s territory, surrounded by humans. Their scent filled my senses—different from werewolves or vampires. It was softer, warmer, almost like colors blending together. just with the smell I could tell they were a weak specie but their size in numbers were astonishing, why would the witches target these weak creatures Without thinking, I rolled the window down and stuck my head out. The rush of wind whipped through my hair, and I breathed in deep, letting the cool night air fill my lungs. It felt clean, crisp—free. A laugh bubbled up inside me, for the first time in a long while, I felt alive, I wanted to throw my arms out and scream just to hear my own voice in this new world. For the first time, I didn’t feel

Alina's POV:“There’s really no one here,” Kaia said quietly, voicing out what I already knew, I glanced around the village—rows of empty houses, unlocked shops, lifeless windows, doors slightly ajar, making creaking sounds,Not a single soul in sight.Valerian had mentioned something earlier, about how the witches planned to use the humans in this village as a sacrifice. We were too late. The thought hit me like a weight in my chest. Had they waited because of me? Was I the reason this village has become a ghost?Wandering through the quiet streets, I found Valerian crouched near one of the stone houses at the edge of the village. I walked over to him.“Do you see these drawings?” he said, pointing at a faint line etched into the ground.I tried to ignore how his scent wrapped around me, how just being close made my head swim and my heartbeat stutter.“There are markings going around the entire village.”“Witches,” I murmured. “We were too late.”He didn’t say anything, just gave a sm

Alina Pov: We stepped out of the car, and a cold wind greeted us. The forest around us was still, too still. I looked up—the sky was overcast, but not in a way that meant rain. It just felt... heavy. Like the world knew something bad was about to happen.Valerian stood ahead of us, eyes on the cave entrance that was hidden between the trees and wrapped in thick vines. It looked ancient, untouched for years.He hadn’t explained much earlier—just walked into my room without knocking and said, “Get ready. We’re leaving in five minutes.”I didn’t know what he was up to when we arrived at the house, all he told me was that it belonged to him and they did since operations there“We’re going in,” Valerian said quietly. “There are undead inside, vampires, werewolves" he said stressing the last word looking at me "Be ready.”I didn’t flinch. I wasn’t going to make a fuss about killing the werewolves. It still hurt, somewhere deep inside. But putting them down was mercy at this point. They wer

I felt my body pressed against something soft, not the cold ground of the cave. Valerian’s face hovered over mine, his eyes with a look I couldn't decipherI couldn't move, my body was paralyzed, Cold, yet burning. The pain was suffocating, curling deep inside my chest until I couldn’t breathe. I didn’t want to, anyway. It felt like too much effort, what was happening to me?oh I pushed him aside and took the hit, why?, why did I do that, all I know was I couldn't stand there and see him hurt, I moved without thinking, it must be the mate bond Hot, I felt hot, like I was burning from the inside, it spread under my skin like molten glass, burning and tearing through every inch of me. Each heartbeat felt like a hammer, driving the pain deeper. Breathing became a battle, every inhale w

Alina’s POVMy eyes fluttered open, settling on the familiar ceiling of the room I’d been given. The sunlight spilling through the window told me it was already late—well past noon. Groaning, I sat up and dragged myself to the bathroom, splashing cold water on my face as flashes of last night came back in pieces. The cave. The venom. And yet... I was still alive.How?I left the room and padded downstairs. The five people traveling with us were already gathered around a table, the quiet buzz of conversation filling the space.“And here comes our sleeping beauty,” one of the guys—red-haired and grinning—called out, drawing everyone's attention. They all turned and gave me warm, surprisingly friendly smiles.“How about we finally do introductions?” the redhead continued. “I’m Ryan. You already know Refeal. This is Xavier,” he said, nodding toward a guy with a slender build and striking purple eyes. “That’s Rory”—he gestured to the large, broad-shouldered one—“and this one here is Lucian

Alina Pov:I made it downstairs with Valerian in one piece, after our bath and a quick stop by my room to grab a change of clothes. Before making our way toward the group, I silently wished the ground would open up and swallow me whole—after he caught me staring at him, and now my face was as red as a tomato.'Really, thank you for trying to give this a chance," Kaia giggled inside my head, and I couldn't help but wonder what had happened to my Lycan. "Being my mate, fate or not, is enough to make me want you. Tell me you didn’t swoon when you heard it," she added, her voice teasing. The fuck?"No, I didn’t," I gritted out 'And why was he so sure I'd fall in love with him? I can't...I couldn't.""I don’t think you understand the meaning of giving this a chance. It means being true and open to love," Kaia chimed in. “Whatever,” I muttered. The sooner I got out of here, the sooner I’d be away from him. He was walking silently behind me, his presence impossible for me to ignore. I stil
The Vampire's deathmarked lycan Twenty Three: Start
Valerian Pov: Strands of her hair floated in the breeze. She stood there, doing nothing, and yet—I couldn’t take my eyes off her. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of watching her. I moved closer, resting my hands on the railings beside her. That warmth again—just being near her made everything inside me feel less cold. I followed her gaze to what held her attention. “Creys and Ryan are sparring,” I whispered. “Oh,” she said, her lips forming the word softly. An awkward silence settled between us. One I so wanted to rip apart with my bare hands. Being here with her should feel easy, and not uncomfortable or awkward. I wanted her to feel comfortable when she was around me. I wanted her to need me. Without thinking, my fingers found a lock of her hair again. I’ve been doing that a lot lately. She stilled, her eyes shifting from me to my fingers. She looked like she was ready to pull away. “Do you hate me?” The question slipped out before I could stop it. I never cared about who ha
The Vampire's deathmarked lycan Twenty Two: Morning
Valerian Pov:I Somehow, during the night, she'd ended up sprawled on top of me, her body soft and warm, tucked perfectly into mine. One of my arms had wound around her waist in sleep—or maybe not by accident—and now she lay there, her cheek resting on my chest like she belonged thereI lost track of time watching her, and now it's almost done, but I didn’t sleep. Couldn’t. Not when she was this close, breathing softly, lashes fanned against her cheeks. I spent the hours memorizing every angle of her face, the way her brows pinched slightly like she was dreaming something bothersome, the subtle pout of her lips. She’d probably frown at me, if she knew I spent the whole night watching her.Her lashes fluttered. She stirred.Her lips parted in a soft yawn as her eyes cracked open, blinking blearily against my bare chest. I watched the exact second her mind caught up with her body—when the realization dawned that she was lying on me.But then… she shocked me Instead of scrambling off, s
The Vampire's deathmarked lycan Chapter Twenty one: Findings
Valerian Pov:She was curled toward me now.Despite her stubborn insistence hours ago—making a dramatic show of claiming the farthest corner of the bed, spine stiff, arms folded like a fortress—she’d turned in her sleep. At some point during the night, her body had betrayed her resolve. Her knees nearly brushed mine beneath the sheets, her breath warm against my chest.I wasn’t sure when my fingers had found her hair.But they had—absentmindedly winding a lock around my knuckle, again and again. It was soft. Softer than I’d imagined—though I’d never admit to imagining it at all.I felt at peace watching her. I didn’t know when that started, but here I was, fingers gently twirling a strand like it was the most natural thing in the world.A frown crept across my face. My gaze drifted to the door, fingers still tangled in her hair. I withdrew them slowly, as if the strands might protest. Something flickered in my expression—there and gone—before I sat up.Quietly, I slipped out of bed, r

Valerian Pov: I tried—gods, I tried—to hold back my laughter as my little mate glared at me like I’d just insulted her bloodline. She shoved at my chest, trying to push me across the threshold of her room like I was some stray mutt that had wandered in.“It’s not funny,” she snapped.It absolutely was. Especially the way she huffed, cheeks flushed, lips still slightly swollen from our kiss. A kiss I hadn’t been able to stop thinking about since it happened.I let the laugh slip out anyway. “You’re adorable when you’re mad.” she froze when she heard it, but I don't regret saying it, it was the first thought that came to mind as I stared at her across the door frame. The imprint of her still burned on my lips, her scent tangled in my clothes. I could still feel the way her body molded against mine like she was made to fit there.I wanted more.God, I wanted all of her. Her touch, her voice, her taste—I wanted to drink her in like she was the only thing keeping me alive.I could still

But the second I closed my eyes, it was him again—his hands, his mouth on mine, the way I wanted him so badly it scared me.My chest tightened. I sucked in a breath.It didn’t help.Another breath.Still no relief.I was supposed to close my eyes in these situations, taking one breath after the other and calm my nerves, but I could not do thatmy breathing surfaced faster, my heart pounding so viciously, my eyes stung, maybe it was all a dream, yes, a nightmare that felt more real than the others that was all But then I could still taste him on my tongue and his scent was deeply mixed with mine My throat was constricted, like I was choking on air.

The Vampire's deathmarked lycan Eighteen: Bliss
Alina By the time I got back, my arms were burning, my feet felt like they’d been beaten with hammers, and I was convinced shopping was a beautifully-wrapped form of psychological warfare—glittery bags, overpriced shoes, and crowds that moved like a tidal wave. And yet, somehow… it was amazing. I’d never seen that many people in one place, all buzzing with energy as they swarmed from one shop to another like it was their life’s mission.When Creys had first suggested it, I’d imagined a dozen possible scenarios. None of them matched reality. It had been louder, crazier, more dazzling—and yes, exhausting. But not the kind that made you regret it. This was the kind that settled into your bones like a reminder: you’re alive. Next time, I’d just have to be more prepared. Because there would definitely be a next time. After dumping the bags in my room, I dragged my aching body down the stairs, heading straight for the kitchen. My throat was dry, my lips chapped—I needed water like I neede
The Vampire's deathmarked lycan Chapter seventeen: Friendship
Alina’s POV:The kitchen was surprisingly normal. Wooden counters, a large iron stove, and herbs hanging from the windows like this was someone’s grandma’s house. Not what I expected from a vampire estate.Xavier—the guy Ryan introduced, slim build, perpetual I-don’t-care expression—was already there, perched on the counter’s edge with a bowl in hand, lazily chewing what looked like cereal“Look who finally crawled out of her hole,” he said lazily, “Thought you might’ve fainted after your little performance earlier.” He was referring to the scene I made when I got here— stomping my leg against the wall like a tantruming child, after what happened with Valerian at the cafe, only to turn and find five vampires watching me like I’d lost my mind. I’d muttered a string of curses and bolted upstairs. too upset to feel embarrassed. Dignity? Never met her.Cerys shot him a look. “Don’t be an ass.”“I’m not,” he said, mock-offended, though there was a smile pulling at his lips. This was offic

Alina’s POV:I slammed the door behind me and collapsed face-first onto the bed, muffling a scream into the mattress. My heart was still racing. My skin, still warm. I hated that he had that kind of effect on me—that I’d lost control in that café and nearly...“Kaia,” I whispered. “What the fuck was that?”What was what? Kaia asked, feigning innocence. Her voice was smug and taunting, the kind that gave me goosebumps.You were releasing your sex appeal, I bit back, my voice sharper than I meant.I want my mate, Kaia hisses, How could I control myself when he was sitting right in front of me?I felt anger boil in my chest the longer I listened to her.You— Also, don’t say "you." Kaia interrupts cutting me off before I even formed my sentence. That would be putting all the blame on me when you wanted him too.I almost jumped on a stranger. I stressed the stranger part in case she wasn't getting itYou’re bonded, Kaia replied gently. Your body is reacting to the mark—and to him. That’s
