I waited for her, sitting reluctantly on the couch ideally the whole day doing nothing special, the old woman's gaze darted from me, and I peeked at her.The similarity was bready all over, it was only her turn-up nose and her arched brow that differentiated her from Ramanov, the wrinkles did somehow conceal their similarities starting closer it was obvious they were blood-related. My mouth couldn't hide the question that was boiling inside of me."You sure look like him, Ramanov." I finally opened up breaking the serenity lurking in her small cabin from the least of her floor to the stack of herbs that hung by the wall, who even uses herbs these days, the world has catapulted into modern science, and it looked like she wanted to keep the legacy of the best herbalist in history one day."Never mention that girl." Her grey lashes encouraged to my side with a tone that pierced like an arrow, she warned.No two ears were to hear she was the tyrant mother, and I understood her reasons, I

Chapter thirty-twoAlpha Ramanov offered me his courtesy, I was still fidgeting, it was a choice I was forced to make, and yet the most important thing at the forefront of my head was still the debate on whether I should follow him. I took a step towards him and cliched my hands to his, I knew I was being insane."Promise you won't–"I didn't finish my sentence as he instantly pecked a kiss on my cheeks, I became red like tomatoes. All I could do was watch mutely.I didn't mind what he had going through his head but I wanted to forget Andrea, not make him jealous, that is if I wasn't just a fling, but I didn't know why I was been like this just a night ago I wanted to rid my self if him, I wanted to be just like a fling and now he treated me like one, I'm burning deep, it was an if he just slammed a door at my face.I knew I was nothing more than a valuable stock that would be traded the moment an opportunity arrives, I had surrendered to that long ago, nothing lies for me, nothing go

It was a beautiful stroll through Ramanov's pack alongside with him, he never mention the name of his pack or anything and I wasn't too intuitive either, he was the kind of man, I couldn't describe, he brings the truth to you in concession rather than not talking at all.“What is your pack called?"“Hmmm…lets call it Ramanov pack or— " and I chuckled, his sense of humour was like painkiller and I felt its impact, he was way too good to be called evil or maybe bad people weren't just bad over night."Tell me, what happened to her?" My eyes went into heat as they collided with his.He said thoughtfully, and slowly he walked towards the railings of the building and rested his back against it. He was hot and handsome and his eyes pierced towards the garden, how come he didn't age, could he be a vampire, that was the odd thing the aura around him is very intimidating and it makes thoughts skip your mind, but if he chooses to lure those Luna it wasn't their fault, he was handsome humorous a

I followed the voice to the square of the cabins confused as it came to a stop, I started to wonder whether I was sleepwalking when I hitched to enter back to the house, a hand dragged me, and thank whoever it was held my mouth. If not I would have screamed my voice out.“So you're the one.“ I heard the voice from behind me, then turned to face a familiar face in the cloak, it was Nancy when I least expected it.“I need you to follow me.“ She said as she held my hand, following her blindly I was surprised as to how did she pull the crank, similar to the old woman, or was she just one of the mysterious people I have met?“We're here, I think we will be safe.“ She looked around hastily and dropped her hood from her head before strolling toward me. “You heard me?“ she perked in anticipation.“I heard you, why do you ask?““Did you also hear them?“ She asked again and I couldn't picture why she was asking.“Who? The beasts?“ It was as if someone knows what I was going through, and that pe

It was as if my mind had suddenly become clouded with rain as I started in Claire's eyes.“Are you going to stay?“ She asked, “I'm sorry Claire. But he promised to let me go—” I breathed, “besides I came here willingly.“ I added that part sounding firm.I heard her break into a chuckle. “Is he showing you kindness, excessive care, trying to win your trust, have you seen how people around him tremble at his presence, the pack member— have you no clue?“ She said arching her left eyebrow, and I flashed my memories of everything, from the eeriness of his palace.“That's not true.“ I was in denial but the smoke was already gathering. Alpha Ramanov was never a free spirit he made me believe he was, just like the alchemist said, people make you see the image they want to, and at last long, their true nature will dispose of them at your feet, was that what it is, the red flags right from the wood that night to Nancy and to the beta that appeared.“Let's go Lucia—” I retreated my hands from h
