Valerie   I froze at the Alpha’s callous stare of inspection. He was obviously skeptical about of the two masters’ reaction to me.   Rubbing my hands together anxiously, I swallowed the lump in my throat before stuttering, “I…I’m s…sorry, Alpha Felix—”   “It’s not your turn to speak with an Alpha!” His tone hardened, as he cut me off, turned to Xavier and said in provocation, “Am I right, Alpha Xavier? I have never known that humans in the South would be so boorish.”   The Alpha was apparently trying to sound Xavier out about his excessive attention on me. He

Valerie Once the grand feast started, there’s no time for us to take a break. We had to bring out a mountainous plie decadent dishes of finest cuisine to all the guests with hearty smiles to show our respects. Celebratory chatters echoed in the air with flavors of delicious food. The guests, laughing and toasting in pride, all seemed to enjoy themselves, except a group of vampires seated near the Alpha families that, if I didn’t take it wrong, would be Mr. Lang’s relatives as Benjamin had mentioned, royal vampires from The Lang family. The wineglasses served in front of them were filled with animal bloods, which they seemed to have no interests in tasting. They didn’t talk, smile or even take their black robes off, as if they just came here for a rest stop. Despite their gloomy faces, they still got the decency not to flare in public. I had seen either Mr. Lang since the feast began. There’s a spare seat next to the only female vampir

Valerie I didn’t want to die. Though I did want to reunite with my family, I didn’t want to die like that. I couldn’t die at this point, when I was getting closer to the truth behind the war and my parents’ death, when I had new clues to the mystery behind myself. How could I die just now? I did my utmost to raise my arm and grabbed the coarse hand cupping on my throat. When the werewolf was distracted by it, I gathered all my strength to lift my foot and kick hard on his shin. With a groan in pain, he loosen the force on my neck and crouched down instinctively. I caught the opportunity to break away and rush towards the doorway. But suddenly, I thought about Benjamin. I couldn’t just leave him here. Looking back in panic, I saw Benjamin collapsed on the floor limply. I wasn’t sure if he fainted out or he had just been killed. And both werewolves now targeted at me for savaging, eyes blazing in anger.

XavierThe place fell into silence while a storming rage was waging inside me. Ares was eager to come out, bellowing a furious growl in my chest. I could feel the muscles on my back being sore after tightening up for so long, eyes prickling and burning for prolonged staring at where she left.She would be intact under Sebastian’s protection.  She would be safe without me.I knew it very well.But the extreme pain in my chest was devouring my sanity. I longed to stay by her side, touch her, kiss her, hug her, making her mine.I couldn’t.I couldn’t give up my responsibility as the Alpha of Red Moon Pack. And I couldn’t let her involve in the dispute either. Any trace of a clue showing she was my mate would endanger her life.I wouldn’t never allow that to happen.“Am I late?” Lucas appeared at the doorway, speaking with an amused voice, “Why so quiet?

SebastianI expected her to be stunned or confused by the inquiry, but she didn’t. She seemed to be well prepared for whatever I was going to tell her, or to be more exact, she longed for it.“Yes, Mr. Drakos.” She nodded grimly, beholding me through her tranquil violet eyes, which obviously should not belong to regular human beings. Are you ready for the truth?Ironically, I didn’t only put the question to her, but also to myself. For all these years, I had been
