LOGINDay 12I wish I could just stay holed up in my room but Gavin was a dangerous man and I knew I couldn’t avoid him. So I prepared myself mentally and forced myself to leave for breakfast. Coincidentally, as I stepped out of my room, Kain was also just coming out. Our eyes jammed and held for a few seconds before I looked away. As if that wasn’t enough, Landon’s door also opened and he stepped out, dressed casually in a grey pant and white long sleeves. Kain cocked a brow at him but Landon was only looking at me, as if he was expecting me to go to him like his date.I huffed and began heading towards the exit but then, that would mean I’d have to pass Landon. I heard Kain’s footsteps behind me and as I reached Landon, he naturally took the space beside me. Kain walked at my other side, placing me in their middle.“Slept well, Princess?”Now it was princess. I rolled my eyes at Landon and didn’t answer. “How long are you going to ignore me?” Landon asked in his usual deep voice and
Ivy could tell I wanted to be alone so she stood, ready to leave. “Uh… if you need me to do anything, I’ll be in my room. All you have to do is ask.”“Sure.” I forced a smile as I watched her leave. Ivy was a spy. I’d be a fool to think she didn’t already know my secret. That was why she told me about Melody. And she offering to help was like her own way of telling me she was on my side. I was surprised. With how much they didn’t like humans, I expected her to distance herself from me the moment she realized the truth. Or try to convince her alpha to turn me in but she didn’t.Just as Ivy left, I got ready to go out. I needed to speak to Brielle but as I opened the door, Brielle was right there, looking like she was just about to knock. I quickly pulled her inside and shut the door. “I just read your message. What do you mean I’m In danger?”She swallowed hard and looked away from me, “It’s too late.” She whispered, “Gavin wants to see you.”“What?”“I’m not sure if he knows you’
A knock came on the door and it startled me out of my thoughts. When I opened it, I saw Ivy. She was holding snacks, so I opened the door wider for her to come in.“It is very suspicious that you managed to grab my favorite cookies.”She grinned, “I asked around and apparently, you like this one. What better way to bribe my future Luna?”The smile disappeared from my face, “Don’t call me that.” I said and looked away from her as I moved to sit on the sofa. She followed me, and I didn’t miss the way she sighed, “You’re fighting with Landon again? I thought you guys were good after he brought you back.”“We’re good of course. But I’m not going to be become his Luna.” A look of determination crossed my face like I was going to do everything to prevent that from happening.“Why?” Ivy looked at me like it was strange. “I don’t understand it. Finding your mate is already extremely difficult. The connection between you two is not something you can severe. Whether you want him or not, the m
Ivy and Miles were in Landon’s room when we got there. “Are you okay?” Ivy asked, looking concerned. Perhaps they had all heard me scream for help.I gave her a nod and she exchanged a look with Landon before dragging Miles to the balcony and they disappeared from there. It was quiet between us for a few seconds. Landon kept staring at me but I couldn’t lift my gaze up to meet his. “Do you think Kain is a bad person?” I asked, hugging my arms as I finally looked at him.His eyes was swirling with an emotion I didn’t recognize, “None of us here are saints. We kill, we manipulate, we torture people to get what we want. Does it make us bad, little lamb?”Right. I asked the question to the wrong person. Landon was a different level of bad on his own. Perhaps worse than Kain.I swallowed, “Are you manipulating me? Am I one of the pieces on your chess board?”“When have I ever?”“Then how did I become your mate? It’s impossible. Unless—““Unless I’m lying to you.” His eyes narrowed, jaws
“Kain… stop. Let me go.” I struggled to get out of his hold, but he didn’t listen. “I just need to talk to you. Let’s go to my room.” His voice was soft, pleading, but he was grabbing me too tight. There was something wrong with him. I had a feeling I really shouldn’t go to his room. I needed to escape. We turned a corner that led to our rooms and I didn’t stop trying to peel his fingers off me. “Let’s talk somewhere else. Please.”Kain finally stopped, his eyes filled with disappointment. “Are you really that afraid to be alone with me?”“It should be my choice, shouldn’t it? You can’t force me.”He scoffed, and his grip tightened, before he started to drag me away with him again. Quickly, I noticed whose room we were passing and quickly called out. “Landon… help me!” I yelled, and Kain scoffed. Before I knew it, he used his werewolf speed to take us away from there. “Landon! Lan—“ Kain covered my mouth with his palm, shutting me up. I was breathing heavily, pressed against h
“Oops, it seemed your friend has gotten impatient.” Marcus said and I followed his gaze to see Kain storming towards us. I was secretly glad when Kain approached us and took my hand, forcing me up.“Let’s go.” He said, threw one threatening look at Marcus who just curled his lips as he watched Kain take me away.It was that easy? Marcus didn’t even try to stop him. It was almost like he was also trying to be cautious with Kain. I released a sigh of relief as we approached Emily and the rest. “Are you okay?” She asked, looking concerned.“I’m fine. Let’s leave here.”“Sure.”As we left there, I glanced at Kain only to end up catching his gaze. “Can we talk for a moment?” I asked him. I wanted to apologize for what I said to him when we fought.Emily and Leo gave us a look then pretended to look away from us. “Come to my room then.” Kain’s eyes was gleaming with cunningness.“No.” I said, “We can just talk here.”“I do have some things to tell you too. And it’s not for other people
At night, I was all alone in my room. Kain didn’t return. Brielle too. My head was still pounding. My chest still felt tight with anger. But I could do nothing about it except lie in my bed pathetically. When I couldn’t take it anymore, I moved to the balcony. The lights seemed to have gone off
A strong hand was wrapped around my neck, slowly squeezing the life out of me as I was pressed into a hard surface.My eyes flew open, instantly meeting with golden ones. But it wasn’t as familiar as I thought. There were specks of red in his eyes and he was shaking, too angry, like he wanted to un
I started to bring the glass to my mouth but by some saving grace— well, I wasn’t sure if the woman that was approaching us with Emily holding her arm was a good sign or bad sign but it definitely stopped me from drinking.“You!” A snarky voice called and I noticed how even Harold stiffened.I inst
I slapped Landon.One of the monsters that could easily tear me apart here on this ship.The moment I realized that the reason he kissed me, was just to prove a point to Kain, I felt stupid that I’d just fallen into his arms the moment he made a move and anger consumed me.Now I regretted it.
