"Mr. Valerious?" I marveled.

Stepping back, I checked the room number.

That's where Jaxon texted me to come meet him. Then what was the professor doing here?

Maybe he chose the wrong classroom. A flare of hope rushed through me at the thought.

"I'm sorry, Professor. I'm in the wrong place. I'll leave-"

"You're not," he spoke, not glancing my way. "Come in and close the door."

"Huh?"

Confusion kept me frozen in place. I couldn't grasp what he meant. Where was Jaxon?

  • Zeus - The Alpha of Hatred    Chapter 35

    The shock was too overpowering to realize the pain searing through the skin of my stomach. Even the cries of my friends. I was suspended in time, taking in the man before me. No… the monster. He looked so much like my dad that if he was alive he’d look probably the same when he grew old, but what separated him from my dad was the deranged, diabolic gleam in not just his eyes, but in his smile, in his aura and in the way he carried himself. Even his scent smelled like a graveyard with trapped souls and lurking demons. It almost made me gag. “I had been waiting for years to meet you, and finally the time has come,” he spoke, his eyes glinting with a twisted, malicious delight that made my blood run cold. I glared at him through tears I didn't notice escaping. “I had been cursing you since the moment I knew you.” I spat each word with every bit the revulsion I felt towards him. His smile strained, and he twisted his claws inside me, piercing through more flesh, making me grab his arm

    Beep.Beep.Beep. With each rhythmic sound from the heart monitor that determined my mother's fate, my pulse quickened. I had been sitting by her side since the crack of dawn, waiting for her to open her eyes and tell me she was okay. That she wouldn't leave me like Dad. A fiery torrent coursed through my veins like molten lava. If only Mom hadn't gone through a minor cardiac event forbidding me, I’d be on my way to rip his killer’s head. Unfortunately, Mom was right. I couldn't face that man. There was no equilibrium between us. He was a werewolf and I was a human. A helpless, hopeless human. I possessed no power to avenge my father. I wouldn't ask Zeus either. I’d only be putting him in danger. If that monster could do this to his own blood, he could do about anything. Looking down, I stared at my hands; so fragile, so easy to break. My whole life I had never deplored being a human nor did I ever want to be a beast after finding out about werewolves. But today, I wished I had ta

    “It happened during a hike in the Alaskan mountains,” Mom started, settling into the chair the doc occupied moments ago. I sat beside her on the bed, cupping her hand in-between mine on my lap to offer her what little comfort I could. “I got lost from my group, and a bear attacked me. I thought I would die that day,” she continued, a bunch of lines forming between her brows like they did in my heart, but then, a smile split her lips in half, her eyes distant with the memories. “But, like a heaven-sent angel, a man appeared out of nowhere and drove the bear away. He was so handsome, I fell in love at first sight.” I immediately had an idea who that man was. My father. That's who my mother was madly in love with. Unconsciously, my eyes drifted to the floor-to-ceiling window where Zeus stood in silent contemplation, his arms folded behind his back, and his gaze firm on the horizon. I couldn't help remembering our first encounter. How unfortunate that was. How he fell in repulsion with

    “Why did you do it?” Was the first thing I asked him right after I woke up. He didn't answer instead took a washcloth, soaked it into a bowl of water, then raising my hair, he placed it on the back of my neck. The shiver that ran through my body wasn't only from the coldness but also from the fact that he got too close in the process, his warm breath hitting my left cheek. “Wh-what are you doing?”“You're burning up,” he replied quietly. “I'm fine.” “Are you?”I closed my eyes, letting out a breath. His infernal way of responding to a question with another pissed me off but I chose to let it out a different way. “You shouldn't have done it,” I said. A muscle in his jaw ticked as he slowly shifted his gaze to meet mine. “Why?” The calmness in his carriage scared me, but I continued. “Because I don't need your pity, nor do I want to be controlled.”An imperceptible frown appeared between his brows, and he went back to cold compressing from my neck to my shoulder. “Am I?”My temp

    Dark and imposing, I found myself in an unfamiliar room when I woke up next. Warm lighting competed with the soft morning glow filtering through a sloping floor-to-ceiling window with an arched top dominating one wall. Untamed wilderness was all that ruled beyond it. By its towering expanse rose high a grand stairway, leading to a secluded sitting area shrouded in darkness. The walls, furniture and everything else were fashioned with a mixture of rich mahogany and sturdy oak. Shelves, adorned with vintage showpieces and ancient tomes took up most of the other wall. I tilted my head back and gasped. Right above the five or six feet tall triangle headboard commanded a large wolf-head. From its snarling jaws, cascaded down a pair of crimson curtains. So strange and terrifying yet so oddly magnificent. I was so awestruck, I forgot to wonder where I was. “Anastasia.” The familiar voice thrummed through my heart, and in a flash, those striking green eyes were above me. Worry and unease

  • Zeus - The Alpha of Hatred    Chapter 30

    Three cars screeched to halts at the same time on the street, one belonging to us, another Tyler's and the other his dad's. Two women stood in the lawn, their phones stuck to their ears. One of them turned and said something, but no sound reached me. My vision blurred at the corners as the only thing my eyes could focus on was the angry red flames devouring my house. Mom… My mom was inside. I fought with her before I left. I took all my frustrations out on her. I even ignored all her calls. Regret pierced through my chest like a dagger, and I ran. Two arms wrapped around my waist, but they couldn't hold on. Two more grabbed my shoulders and one by my arm. But as if a powerful animal took over my body, I broke free and burst straight through the door. Intense heat singed my skin and suffocating smoke obscured my vision. “Mom? Mo-om!” I called out, a fit of coughing distorting my voice at the end. My eyes burned, not even blinking a dozen times was helping. “Mom, where are you? Answ

    "Come in," the professor's deep voice came from behind his office door. With a deep breath, I pushed the door open and walked in. He was working on his laptop with an undivided attention."What do you want?" he asked without sparing me a glance. His cold, impassive conduct sliced through my heart

  • Zeus - The Alpha of Hatred    Chapter 11

    "Ana!" A scream pierced through the ringing in my ears when the world spun in a swift motion right before I landed on my back. The sound of shattering glass rained around me. But not a single shard touched my skin, no pain bloomed through my flesh. Although something else burned through me.Unusua

    Why do I do this to myself?I coughed, blowing dust off an old book and squinting at the title. Nope, not the one. Reaching for the next book, I did the same, only to get a fresh cloud of dust straight up my nose, burning my sinuses and triggering a sneezing session like a full-blown allergy attack

  • Zeus - The Alpha of Hatred    Chapter 9

    Tears blurred my vision as I ran through the sequoia forest, the ancient giants looming over me, shielding me from the cruel world. My breathing came out in ragged gasps as my heart pounded in my chests. I didn't know where I was going or why I was going there, I just ran. From whatever that happen
