“I… I want to… I have to go to bed,” Aurora stammered after hearing Maverick’s confession.

She simply didn’t know what to say to him, what to reply, or even how to react because his words felt so genuine. Instead, she walked away from him and headed straight for the bed. She lay on it with her chest pressed against the soft mattress.

Aurora closed her eyes and tried to empty her thoughts because she knew dwelling on what Maverick had just said would only make her heart waver, and right now she

  • Unholy Desire   Not love but power.

    A cold wind gushed through the air, biting into Aurora’s skin and making goosebumps rise across her body as every nerve within her stood on high alert. She could feel her stomach twisting in anxiety as she slowly began to open her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering several times like the wings of a butterfly.A sharp sting shot through her wrists and ankles as silver chains dug painfully into her skin. She realized she had been tied to a chair. The last thing she remembered was Logan’s needle piercing her neck before darkness swallowed her whole.Pfft!A minute later, her eyes were fully open as darkness surrounded her. For a brief moment, she wondered if she had already died and crossed into some forgotten corner of the afterlife.It was so dark that she could barely make out her surroundings but thanks to the full moon hanging high in the sky, she could see the silhouettes of towering trees swaying violently as the wind rushed through them.“Where… where am I?” she wondered inwardly as

  • Unholy Desire   Sorry but not sorry

    It took Aurora a few seconds to fully process what she had just heard.“Did you hear what I just said?” Matheus asked, arching a brow at her as he was unable to notice any reaction from her face. Aurora sniffed her nose and drew in a deep breath before biting her lower lip. Tears unconsciously began rolling down her cheeks.“What do you need my blood for?” Aurora questioned curiously. Deep down, she already knew she wouldn’t get an honest answer, but she needed to hear him say it anyway.Besides, Nythera had already spoken about Matheus wanting her blood, and his words had only confirmed the witch’s claims.“What I need your blood for is none of your business,” he seethed through gritted teeth.Aurora nodded.At that moment, it was the only thing she could do.“So, does this mean you’re going to keep me locked up here, take my blood, and then turn me into your loyal puppet?” she asked.“Hahahahaha!”Matheus burst into laughter, finding her words amusing.As his laughter gradually die

  • Unholy Desire   Her blood.

    “You… you bitch!” Matheus cursed through clenched teeth as he stumbled backwards, immediately placing his right hand over his lips from the impact of Aurora’s bite. Blood stained his fingers, and a small piece of skin on his lower lip had been torn open.“Hahahahahaha!”Matheus burst into loud laughter, nodding his head as he pressed his hand harder against his injured lips.“Hahahahaha!”His laughter only grew louder as his eyes slowly darkened into something dangerous, something devoid of warmth and humanity.The sound of his laughter echoed throughout the chamber.It took nearly two full minutes before it finally died down. Aurora sighed as she realized that the gentle and playful Matheus she had known might never have truly existed.Then, without Matheus uttering another word, he began walking toward Aurora once more.Stopping directly in front of her, his lips curled into a sly smirk.“Hey, beautiful,” he purred, but there was something unsettling in his voice that made Aurora’s

  • Unholy Desire   Child of the moon.

    Meanwhile, Aurora had tried her absolute best to stay conscious, but the moment Logan wrapped the pure silver chains around her body and secured her to the silver pole, the pain became unbearable. It burned through her veins like molten fire, forcing a scream from her lips.Her body trembled violently.Her vision blurred.Then her eyes rolled upward and finally… she lost consciousness.****“Hey, wake up!” a young woman’s voice echoed inside Aurora’s head, laced with urgency.“You have to wake up!”The voice came again, louder this time, filled with desperation and panic.“Umm…” Aurora groaned softly as her head lolled from one side to the other. She tried to pull herself out of the darkness, but her body refused to cooperate.“Hey! Wake up! Now!” the young woman’s voice seethed, her tone sharp and frantic. It sounded as though she was using the last of her strength to reach Aurora before it was too late.Instantly, Aurora’s eyes snapped open. For a brief moment, she couldn’t tell whe

    Twenty hours earlier…Back at the Silvercrest Pack, when Alpha Maverick woke up, he didn’t immediately open his eyes. Instead, he turned to his side, intending to pull Aurora closer into his embrace. Surprisingly, he couldn’t feel her beside him. A strange sense of unease immediately settled in his chest, though he couldn’t explain why. Maverick shifted further across the bed, hoping his hand would at least brush against her arm or hair, but there was nothing.With a slight frown, Maverick finally opened his eyes. He blinked a few times, allowing them to adjust to the brightness of the room. A few seconds later, he sat upright in bed and slowly scanned his surroundings.“Bunny,” he called out in a soft, sleepy voice, assuming she might have slipped away to the bathroom to freshen up for the day. “Little bunny, where are you?” he added playfully as he climbed out of bed and headed toward the bathroom.When he pushed the bathroom door open, he froze for a moment after realizing Aurora

  • Unholy Desire   Get you killed.

    The world around Aurora seemed to come to a standstill as her eyes rolled upwards… slightly closed. Tears streamed endlessly down her face, falling like pearls against her cheeks. Blood trickled from the wound on her head while snorts escaped her nose uncontrollably.She wanted to move.She wanted to speak.She wanted to scream.But it felt as though time itself had frozen around her.A loud ringing sound echoed relentlessly inside her ears, drowning out everything else. Everything felt distant and unreal, as though she were trapped inside a nightmare she couldn’t wake up from.Matheus scoffed.His fingers were still tangled deep within Aurora’s hair, and with a rough yank, he dragged her across the floor toward the locked door where Logan and the witch were.As Matheus pushed the door open, his nose immediately twisted in disgust. The foul stench that greeted him was enough to make anyone recoil. The underground chamber was damp… filthy, and filled with the scent of blood, sweat, and

  • Unholy Desire   Her choice.

    “What the hell is going on?”“Hey, is it me, or did Alpha Maverick just claim that Aurora belongs to him?”“Damn it! The daughter of a traitor is definitely going to create a scene on the day of our Alpha’s birthday.”Murmurs filled the air as the eyes of those present stared at the scene before th

  • Unholy Desire   An unexpected twist.

    Matheus Thorne, Gamma of the Hallow Pack.He was dressed in black trousers and a blue long sleeve shirt, with a black suit jacket worn over it and his ginger coloured hair framed his face which carried an aura of authority and a presence that demanded attention. Matheus had always been rumoured to

    Cleaning the large hall where pack gatherings and parties were usually held, was a lot of work for Aurora. Still, the small hope that she might eventually leave the hellhole she had been trapped in kept her going throughout the night until she finally managed to clean the entire place.After finish

  • Unholy Desire   Daughter of a traitor.

    Five months later…“Aurora, what the hell have you been doing for the past few hours? Why is the Alpha’s chamber not cleaned yet when you know he could be back any moment? Go and clean it as fast as possible.” Aubrey, the head maid of the pack house, spat with clenched teeth.Aurora scoffed.Ever s
