LOGINMy scream rippled through the ancient woods surrounding us as I felt the searing bite of rajor-sharp fangs sinking into my neck. My fingers clutched his shirt in tight fists to push him away, but he resisted. His hand firmly holding me down by the waist, started to draw slow circles. For a second, I thought I descended into the depths of hell, being devoured by the hellhound itself. But then his fangs retracted, being replaced by the soft, warm laps of his tongue soothing the pain away. I gasped, an overwhelming feeling of ecstasy taking over, sweeping me into a heady rapture. It spread from my neck to my chest, like a serene coolness chasing away the intruding weight, the unpleasant pang that had been tormenting me for the past months. What was that feeling? I wanted more of it. So much more. I failed to contain the moan that escaped my lips, my limbs giving away, too high in euphoria to function. A peaceful darkness began to engulf me before a set of icy green eyes appeared in m
I woke up yet again in an unfamiliar room. In someone else's bed. But this time, my hands and feet weren't bound anymore. Sitting up, I looked around. Bright daylight filtered in, illuminating everything. This looked like a wooden cabin with log furniture, handcrafted items and white sheets covering the bed. Cozy and warm, it was more human than the last one I had been in. But a monster lived here. Throwing the covers off of me, I swung my feet off the bed and gasped. A cotton dress shirt hung loosely around my body, reaching my knees, and that's about it. My own shirt and pants were gone except for my underwear. He changed me, and not to mention in his own cloth. How dare he! Shaking off the daze his oceanic smell tried stirring in me, I hurried to the door and yanked at the handle, half expecting it to be locked. But it wasn't, and I fell back from the sudden force. My hand shot to my mouth to suppress the yelp in time, hoping he didn't hear. I stayed like that a little longer,
My breath ceased in my throat as everything else slowed, the sound of the bullet still echoing in my ears, followed by the now dripping blood on the floor. Jaxon's movements behind me along with his taunting pat on my shoulder and "Good princess" remark just went over my head, fading him and everything else in the background, leaving only me and Zeus in the suspended reality. His fiery gaze veered behind me, and something in them shifted. Dark, darkly. Like a wild fire suddenly getting swallowed in the deepest, darkest black hole, with the threat to engulf everything else in sight. It delivered just right because Jaxon tensed beside me. With urgency, he snatched away the gun from my hand and fired. Once, twice, thrice, he didn't stop until he had emptied all the rounds. I yelped in my curled position, hands firmly pressed over my ears. I had lost track of what was happening long ago, and now everything was a blur. Like I was in a bad dream, a very, very bad dream, and I couldn't w
Danny: Boss, Tyson got it up his ass and finished the old hag. The lying bitch was demanding more money.Somehow... Somehow I knew it was Mrs. Park he was talking about and... Lies. Jaxon had been a liar. But why? To win his battle through me? Why me? Slowly, breathing heavily, I glanced at him. At that moment, he looked every bit the criminal they said he was with his jaw tight and eyes dark. The tattoos blinking from behind his black shirt seemed more fiendish. He rolled his neck to the side, cursing. "You weren't supposed to see that," he said, voice rough. "It's Mrs. Park, isn't it?" I breathed, my bottom lip trembling as I backed into the door. The tensed air in the car was unnerved by his heavy sigh. He tsked with a shake of his head. "I didn't want it to happen like this." Then he side-glanced at me, a corner of his mouth raising in an evil smirk. "But good thing I was prepared." The second those words left his lips, I whipped around, going for the door. Jumping from
"Aren't you getting a little too comfortable with the Blazes?" My hand, lifting the slice of pizza, paused in mid-air. I swallowed, then continued eating and watching Game of Thrones. "What do you mean?" "You skipped a class to hangout with Jaxon." "That's not true. I skipped class because I wasn't feeling well. Jaxon was only there... to accompany me." Guit surged through my insides for the lies I had been feeding my friends. But this was the best for them. The less they knew the less danger they'd be in. Besides, I didn't want them to live with fear like I was. Even though Zeus Valerious was in jail, there were probably a lot more of his kind roaming around unknown, and the unknown was far riskier than the known. Also, it wasn't like the feds could keep Mr. Valerious forever. I might have told them about his crimes but I never told them about who he was in case he bestowed them with the same fate as his other victims. But now that I thought thoroughly, I couldn't help but wond
The silhouette of a monstrous creature clawed out of the shadows, its phantom fangs dripping with a venomous darkness that seeped into every fibre of my bones. I couldn't move, I couldn't scream. Then the fog lifted, and it crawled out of the bushes. I gasped. It was a wolf. My wolf. Blood. So much of it smeared all over his face as though he just killed someone. He did. The other wolf that attacked me before now hanging from between his teeth, torn and lifeless. Slowly, he opened his mouth, and the body collapsed to the ground with a thud. His head tilted in that animalistic way before his eyes turned red, and he snarled, long, thick canines extended. He lurched. A scream pierced through my lips as I sat up abruptly, my head hitting the chairtop behind. I groaned, rubbing the spot and looking around my empty house, the sound of my loud breathing echoing off the walls. A dream. It was a bad dream.I jumped when a blaring noise startled me again, my heart skipping a beat. Clut
"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 l
"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
"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
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
