Drake

Earlier, Dr. Vance had called me out to the lab.

I stood over the lab table, staring down at the ribbed, hollowed-out bullet through the microscope. It looked like nothing, just a piece of dead metal, dark like burnt coal.

But I knew better. He had shown me the bullet that was taken from Angel’s body.

“We know what it is, Drake,” Dr. Vance said, his voice tight, controlled, but the tension beneath it was obvious.

“A test was carried out,” he continued, “and we found out there was more to

    AngelAfter the tests, I requested to be brought back to my room. I am back there now. The clinical air was making me feel more sick than the injury itself.I could still remember the look on Dr. Vance’s face when he walked in with the results of the MRI and CT scan.“The Siphon-Core is there, but it is very weak,” he had said, his voice filled with a quiet disbelief. “We can say this is a miracle, but you still need to come for more tests. Let’s be sure.”His words brought a great relief to me. I felt the weight lift off my chest, though Drake looked surprised, his eyes searching the doctor’s face for a catch that wasn't there.“I would like to go back home, I had told Drake , I feel more sick staying here.”And with that, it took just those words to bring me back.To my surprise, I did not know it was an underground facility so close to the mansion. I was stunned when we finally came out and I realized we had been beneath the earth this entire time.In the last four hours since I wa

    DrakeI held her gaze. Didn’t soften it. Didn’t lie. “It’s real.”Her chest rose sharply. “But… I feel fine.” That again. I didn’t like it. Dr. Vance didn’t either.“That’s the problem,” he said quietly. Her gaze snapped back to him. “What do you mean?”“It should have activated already.”A pause.“It should be affecting you.”Her voice dropped. “…how?” Vance hesitated. Just for a second. Then, “Shaking. Weakness. Loss of control.”Her fingers tightened. “And then?” He didn’t answer immediately. I saw it. The hesitation. The choice.“Vance,” I said low.He ignored me. “…and eventually,” he continued, “your body shuts down.”Shock. Real. Unfiltered. “…shuts down?”“Yes.”Her breathing became uneven now. “But I’m fine,” she said quickly. “You said it yourself, I’m fine.”“No,” Vance corrected softly. “You appear fine.”That broke something. I saw it in the way her expression shifted. In the way her body tensed. “…what’s that supposed to mean?” she whispered.“It means,” he said carefull

    DrakeHours passed. Too many. I lost count somewhere between the steady beeping of the monitors and the rise and fall of her chest. The room had grown quiet, the kind of silence that pressed against you, that made every small sound feel louder than it should.I didn’t leave.I told myself I was waiting for an update. That was a lie. My eyes stayed on her. Angel lay still against the white sheets. Her breathing was steady, controlled by the rhythm of the machines beside her. The faint rise of her chest was the only thing reminding me she was still here.Unaware. Not gone. Not yet.My fingers tapped once against the armrest. Stopped. The scent in the room was wrong. Antiseptic. Cold. Not her. My jaw tightened. Nothing about this felt right. That bullet should have done something. The Siphon-Core should have reacted. It should have fed. It should have,A faint movement.It was small. Barely noticeable. Her fingers. They twitched. Once. Then again. I leaned forward slightly, my gaze sharp

Of course, they knew that not just any bullet would take you down.”A pause.“The chemical residue on the casing is Siphon-core”. I didn’t look up. My gaze remained fixed on the bullet.“It’s built to drain an Alpha,” he continued, “and hollow out the host from the inside.”Silence followed. Heavy.But Angel. Angel had shown no sign of anything wrong.No discoloration, no internal decay, no visible reaction.To anyone else, she looked fine, completely fine.“It’s not reacting,” I mut

  • The cursed Alpha’s Contract Bride    The shake

    AngelIt has been four days since I woke up. The pain has dulled, but the memories still linger. Drake has been here. Staying. Watching. Making sure I’m okay. Sometimes I wake in the middle of the night and find him there, sitting quietly like he has nowhere else to be, as if leaving were a sin.And now, he is here again. Seated beside me as the nurse tends to my wounds. He has been… different. Less arrogant, less sharp. Not the always-angry Drake. Sometimes, I catch him smiling. Real smiles. Not the cold, calculated ones. Something softer.“Little mouse, are you okay?” he murmurs, his voice felt heavy and warm.I roll my eyes slightly. “Stop calling me that,” I tease, my tone light.“Just wanted to be sure you're okay,” he insists, holding my gaze.“I’m better,” I breathe. And I mean it. Not just physically. Something in me feels… steadier.His usual hard expression seems to have faded. At least, for now. “What about the models for the campaign?” I ask.His brows draw together immedi

    Drake“You are strong,” one of the elders said, his voice edged with disbelief. “How could a mere threat cause you to betray your people?”Morris shook his head violently, panic written all over his face.“They have my family!” he shouted, his voice cracking under the weight of fear. “I had no choice, no choice! I was being monitored. Every move I made was watched.”“Don’t you dare play that game with us,” Grandmother snapped, her tone sharp, cutting through his words. “Your family is not a small fish to fry for the rebels. You could have called us. You should have called us. The rebels are no match for this clan, and you know that.”The more he spoke, The more my grip tightened. I pushed him harder against the wall.His back hit the surface with a dull thud, his breath knocked out of him again as my fingers curled tighter around his throat.His hands clawed at mine.Desperate.Weak.“It’s not the rebels“ he forced out, struggling for air. “They’re not the ones—”I didn’t loosen my gr
