“I fell for every lie you told me, Lena; you should be proud of yourself; you’ve managed to deceive me, Alpha Damien; that’s a stunt not everyone could pull.” “What do you mean?” “So, you are going to play innocent again?” He asked, then chuckled. It was humorless. “This time I won’t be the fool; I won’t fall for that innocence the second time, Lena, and I promise you, I’ll make you pay and have fun while I am at it.” ******* Lena was a weak wolf, a slap in the face of her parents. Being the daughter of Alpha and Luna, they expected more, and for that reason she was deemed useless. When her father finds an opportunity to marry her off to one of the most powerful Alphas in the world to settle pack debts and also gain an alliance, he will do anything in his power to make it work. Lena was never supposed to fall in love with Alpha Damien; he was the cruel, emotionless Alpha, unable to feel, yet she fell for him. No one could make her feel the way he did. She was the Alpha’s little obsession, and he always got what he wanted. She knew it would only be a matter of time, and his drive would die. She had to accept the fact that he would never love her, but she wanted more, more than he was willing to give, more than he was capable of giving. Would that lead to her destruction? What happens when secrets are revealed and innocent Lena is tainted by the darkness of the world she has been tossed into?
Lihat lebih banyakSA MISMONG GABI ng engagement party ni Albert ay mag-isang nagtungo ng bar at nagpakalasing si Bethany Guzman; ang ex-girlfriend ng lalake. Subalit hindi rin siya nagtagal dahil sa mabilis siyang malasing. Lumabas siya ng bar at nagpasyang umuwi na lang. Pagdating niya sa bahaging madilim na pasilyo papalabas ng bahay-aliwan ay may natanaw siyang bulto ng katawan, nakatalikod ‘yun banda sa dalaga. Napagkamalan niya itong ang ex-boyfriend, bunga ng espirito ng alak. Mahigpit niya itong niyakap. Biglang humarap sa kanya ang nagulat na binata. Namumungay ang mga matang inilagay ni Bethany ang dalawang palad sa magkabilang pisngi ng lalake. Hindi pa siya doon nakuntento, tumingkayad pa ang dalaga upang abutin at taniman ng mariing halik ang labi ng lalakeng bahagyang napaawang na lang ang bibig dala ng labis niyang pagkagulat.
“Alam kong miss na miss mo na rin ako, Albert…” usal ni Bethany sa pagitan ng kanilang mga halik, ginantihan na rin kasi siya ng lalake bagamat hindi siya kilala. “Hindi mo ako kayang tiisin kaya ka nga narito ngayon ‘di ba?” masuyong himas pa ng dalaga sa leeg ng lalake.
Muli niya itong siniil ng halik, ngunit agad na nangunot ang noo ni Bethany nang malasahan ang hindi pamilyar na lasa ng laway ng lalake. Bahagya niyang inilayo ang katawan nito, ngunit huli na ‘yun. Nagawa na ng estrangherong lalake na hapitin siya sa bewang upang pigilan sa tangka n’ya sanang pagkuha ng distansya dahil sa bigla na lang naalarma s’ya.
“Seryoso ka ba diyan sa sinasabi mo, Miss?”
Nakakakiliti para kay Bethany ang dating ng mahinang bulong na iyon ng lalake sa tainga. Tuluyang nahulasan at nilubayan ng espirito ng alak sa katawan si Bethany. Biglang naitulak na niya ang bulto ng lalake palayo sa kanya. Napamulagat ang mga mata niya na halos lumuwa nang makilala kung sino ang napagkamalang dating kasintahan niya.
Si Gavin Dankworth iyon.
Ang pinakamagaling at sikat na lawyer sa bansa na may iba’t-ibang negosyong nakapangalan sa kanya.
‘Oh my God! Anong katangahan mo ito, Bethany, ha?!’
Sino ba namang hindi makakakilala sa kanya?
Maliban na lang siguro iyong mga nakatira sa bundok na hindi sakop ng kuryente at ng mga teknolohiya kung saan ay sikat ito. Hindi lang ‘yun, ang lalakeng ito rin ay ang future brother-in-law ng ex-boyfriend niyang si Albert. Sa kaalamang iyon ay napaatras na si Bethany, kamuntikan pa nga siyang matumba dahil biglang nagbuhol ang kanyang mga paa.
“Oops, mag-iingat ka Miss. Baka mapasama ang bagsak mo at mabingutan ka. Sayang ang ganda.”
Napangiti na ng pilit si Bethany na may pagngatal pa ng labi sa huling sinabi nito. Halatang palaban ang lalake sa anging hamon niya. Naisip niyang kung nagawa nga siyang lokohin ni Albert, bakit hindi niya pwedeng gawin din iyon lalo pa at wala naman na silang dalawa? Hindi niya kailangang magpa-demure at maging mabuting babae sa mata ng lahat. Bakit hindi niya pagbigyan ang sarili na gawin ang gusto niya kahit sa gabing iyon lang?
‘Ngayong gabi lang, Bethany.’
Sa halip na tumakbo palayo ay muling lumapit si Bethany sa lalake. Muling itinapon ang sarili para yakapin ng nabiglang lalake. Maganda siya, kaaya-aya rin ang hugis ng katawan niya pati amoy niya. Siguro naman ay hindi siya nito magagawang basta na lang tanggihan.
DAHIL SA URI ng propesyon ni Gavin Dankworth ay hindi niya basta maitaboy palayo ang babae. Handa siyang magkaroon ng panandaliang relasyon dito kahit sa gabing iyon lang. Nakita niya kasing malungkot ito at puno ng pananabik ang itinatapong mga tingin sa kanya.
“Uulitin ko ang tanong ko Miss, seryoso ka ba?” binasa pa ni Gavin ang labi habang nakatingin sa magandang mga mata ni Bethany.
Lumunok muna ng laway si Bethany. Hindi niya maintindihan kung bakit ganun na lang ang dagundong ng tibok ng puso niya sa loob ng dibdib. Pinadausdos niya ang hintuturo sa bridge ng ilong nito saka malapad na ngumiti.
“Oo naman—”
“Kung ganun, umalis tayo dito.” bulong ni Gavin na hinapit na muli sa beywang si Bethany upang mas ilapit pa ang katawan sa kanya.
Naranasan ng mahalikan ni Bethany, pero hanggang doon lang iyon. Hindi lumagpas doon ang kanyang limitasyon sa katawan. Nananatili pa ring malinis ang puri niya. Birhen pa siya dahil nangako siya sa sariling ibibigay lang niya ito oras na pakasalan siya ng magiging asawa.
“Huwag na, dito na lang tayo. Hindi ko pa nagawang subukan na makipag-make out sa lugar na ito.” pinalambing pa ni Bethany ang boses para mas maging tunog aggressive at expert iyon sa bagay na tinutukoy niya, “Wala naman ditong masyadong dumadaan eh…”
Hindi inaasahan iyong sagot ni Gavin. Mukha kasing inosente ang babaeng kaharap at para bang wala rin itong muwang sa kamunduhan na sinasabi ng katawan nito. Gayunpaman ay hindi na lang nagsalita si Gavin, tutal ngayon lang naman iyon bakit hindi na lang niya pagbigyan? Inilapit na niya ang mukha sa babae at walang pakundangang inangkin ang labi nitong sobrang lambot at matamis kahit nalalasahan pa niya dito ang alak na ininom kanina.
Kagaya lang din sila ng ibang mga lalake at babae na nagma-make out dala ng espirito ng alak. Malayang pinagbibigyan ang nag-uumalpas na init ng kanilang mga katawan kahit na panandalian lamang ang tagpong iyon sa kanilang pagitan.
“A-Albert…” tawag ni Bethany sa pangalan ng kanyang ex-boyfriend matapos na panandaliang tanggalin ni Gavin ang mapulang labi sa bibig.
Bakas ang pagkaasar na bumalatay sa mukha ng lalake ng mapagtanto na napagkamalan lang pala siya ng babae. Ang buong akala pa niya ay nahimasmasan na ito at namukhaan s’ya.
THREE YEARS LATER (Lena's POV) Kaden was color blind; I had always suspected this, but now that he was older it had been easier to tell. Damien blamed himself for it, but this wasn't even under 'his' control, neither was it his fault. . I had gotten better; I didn't need to be scared when I held my child on when I came into contact with others; Damien was all the control I needed, and together we've managed to start up a life once again. I had agreed to never use my powers again, but the less I use them, the more they seemed but be buried deep down, beyond my reach. I could live a normal life—or at least something close to that. Aurora walked into our room with two year old Leslie in her arms. We had become very close friends after the incident three years ago. With Diego gone, Nate took his title as the Beta, and for the past three years, there has been no one to fill in the gap until now. Diego's sister Alice had turned out to be one of the most brutal warriors, outmatch
(Natasha POV) We never really had a place to call home. The closest thing to home was the little cabin in the woods. I remembered Set bringing me in here. I had been so surprised at the beauty of the place. I had imagined things—I had imagined children running around in this space. I was going to plant new flowers every week, just at the side. It would have been a beautiful home. I had so many regrets; what would have changed if I stayed behind? Yet, I knew that Diego would have been killed if I did. Set wouldn't have wanted that. One thing was sure: The Ghost, who was also the Vampire Prince, wouldn't let us go that easily. I had killed the Ghost, the man who put me through so much pain. I had made 'Number One' pay for assaulting me and for taking my one true love away, yet it meant nothing now because even those couldn't bring Set back. I and Set had gone on dangerous missions, and I grew to believe that nothing could overcome us. Set was a pro at what he did. I had believed he
(Lena's POV) Damien tore through the crowd of vampires, and finally I could see him-- that was enough to give me hope, prehaps this wasn't my end yet. "Damien!" I cried out "Lena, hang on" he says as he yanked one of the vampires off me."Take off the necklace" he commanded."No!" Hecuba screamed.Damien ripped off the ruby necklace from my neck. I gasped. It all happened fast. Hecuba screamed, louder than a banshee; it was an ear-bleeding noise; the glass shattered. Damien held me close shielding me from the glass shards; The screeching sound must be one of the vampires' bane, a weakness we had just discovered because they clawed at their own ears, running in all directions of the room to find an escape. After what felt like hours- but were actually minutes, the noise stopped, and Hecuba's body, just like those of her victims, dried up, fading away till she was nothing but bones. I stared at the ruby necklace on the floor; it had turned back to the emerald green it originally ha
(Lena's POV)"Take a seat with me, will you?" Konstantin says."I think we have a lot to talk about," I said, and he nodded. Walking, I followed, but Hecuba held me back."We have no time for this. I have no time for this," she says, but I pulled my hands free of her grabs. I followed, and after a while she did too. I didn't know what I was planning to do, even as I sat."Do you want anything to drink?" The vampire prince asked, his eyes fixed on me, as if we were the only ones in the room."No, thank you."He took the seat opposite me, not minding that there was none for Hecuba. I turned to her, but she shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't mind standing."So here you are. Two years ago, you disappeared, I want to know if everything was a lie" I inquired not because I really cared but more out of curiosity."Not everything—this was my home even before I met you and have been for a long time, but you see, as much as I wanted to be close to you and as much as I loved th
"You lied to me all these years; you made me believe The Blood Moon Pack destroyed my family and my pack, but you lied, the vampire did." "They died ten years ago; get over yourself, child," he hissed at me. It sounded more like a sound a snake would make. "Go to hell!" I screamed back at him. "I have already been there" he says.Number One chuckled. "I go by many names." The Ghost began, "Some call me The Ghost; others call me the Prince of Doom, the Ruler of the Undead," he says as he lets his cloak fall to the ground. "But I am popularly known as the Vampire Prince.Just like all the others of my children I picked you all at the worst moment in your lives. In your case, it had been after the death of your family. You are right-- the vampires attacked them, yet I couldn't let you know that because I knew you would be of so much help to me. But you have to know one thing. The vampires do nothing except what I command them to." The Ghost finally took off his mask. Now I did unde
(Natasha's POV) I felt selfish after I discovered the truth about Diego. All the while, he had been suffering in silence, and I was too blind to see it. I never knew about his sister; I didn't even see the need to ask. My whole focus had been centered on destroying the pack—these were people who had done nothing to me. . I had to return back to the cabin, just as I had promised Set. I wanted to see him again, fall into his arms, and let him take control just as he always does. I wanted to hear those sweet words from him. I needed to be reminded of how special I was because, at this moment, I didn't feel very unique. I felt awful for how I treated Diego. I arrived in the cabin; the lights were on, and a small smile stretched on my lips as I walked in. "Set, I'm back," I said, but there was no response. "Set?" I called out as I walked into the living room. I saw the shattered glass on the floor; the couch had been ripped; the portrait was on the floor; and so were the curtains.
(Damien's POV) The decision I had to make weighed on my shoulders. Even as I walked into the dungeons where Diego had been kept waiting. I walked in alone. Diego didn't stare up at me; his gaze never left his hands. "You believed I had fucked your mate; could this be why you turned against me?" I asked. "I never believed you could do such a thing," he says. I stared at the injuries I had inflicted on him; his ear had been completely torn off; he needed a healer; but he was a traitor and couldn't be treated any better than that. "It hadn't been the way you think. Your mate had poisoned me; I had thought I was with Lena; believe me, I could never do that, she tricked me." "I do believe you. I knew you couldn't go that length, but I had been so mad. Yet, that was not the reason. Years ago, I had a sister; her name is Alice. She had been stolen away from us five years before I was born. The incident faded so quickly, and my parents discarded everything that belonged to her. They
"For so many years, you made me suffer; you made me believe I was the cause of your childlessness, you sold me away for your selfish benefits and when you discovered that your ill action still favoured me, you framed me for something I did not do, you made me see the worst in life, but that hadn't been enough for you; you still believed that I was the reason your mate was killed, and now you have returned to have me," I said. "What are you doing to me?" he asks. "Once a woman came to you, she brought a baby, and she told you that this child was special. Look at the woman beside me," I said to him, and he does. "She might be in the body of another, but this is my true mother, and she is going to make you pay for what you did to her child," I say, stepping aside. Hecuba walked forward; she was nothing like Aradia; even if she had claimed the woman's body, there was something about the way she walked; she walked like she owned the world; her aura could be felt even from miles away. H
The woman, Aradia, sat, waiting; she already knew what was coming. The gunshots could be heard outside and blood flowed into the room, spreading in from underneath the door. She reached out to her powers and then stretched her hands over Lena's body, muttering strange words, and there was a faint glow as energy erupted from her outstretched hands, forming a shield over Lena's body. This shield was one of the hardest to make; it did cost her, and she felt suddenly weak. The longer it stayed on, the weaker she became, yet she couldn't let go. The door busted open, and soldiers moved in. About fifteen of them left. The Blood Moon Soldiers had managed to take out a good number and had inflicted some brutal injuries on others. The attacks had come in large numbers; no wonder they had been able to overpower the five Blood Moon soldiers who had been kept there to protect the Luna. "Wake up, Lena," Aradia whispered to the woman on the bed, but there was no sign of movement. The soldiers
