I closed my eyes, and seconds later, I opened them, frantically panting, my heart beating wildly and sweating."Lippy?" I look up at Camila, who looks pale. "Are you okay?"I continue to pant and remember where I am. Everyone was looking at me, either oddly confused or worried. Kaze, still on my lap, whimpers with concern. I brush my hair back and exhale sharply. We are still on the jet. I rub my face and inwardly curse myself that I dreamt something like that. I thought I died...again.I noticed Dominic had a worried look but did not budge to move because of that one person blocking him. At the same time, Malik and Clayton had their head in my direction with expressions of curiosity."Here, drink some water," Camila hands me a bottle of cold water. I took it from her and immediately drank till it was halfway."Thanks," I wipe my mouth. My heart starts to slow down its pace enough to relax a bit. "How long was I asleep?" I ask."You only shut your eyes for five minutes."Only five?Bu

With the other hand, I pinch its tiny shirt and lift it at eye level. It was yelling and screaming like mad, swinging tiny fists at me."Let me go, you human!" the Imp squirmed.I study the little thing—my first to see an Imp up close. It has the size of a toddler, stubby in length, with whole almond black eyes with no iris or pupil. The Imp has red skin, two little horns sticking out from the top of his hairless head. He resembles the cartoon character where your subconscious sits on one shoulder while an angel occupies the other.The twins told me how naughty they are; pranking others is what they love to do. They can mimic voices and lure you away from the crowd, making your head go crazy. And this did a good job getting irritated and messing with my head.I don't know how long he will keep wailing his fists in thin air, but I find him adorable. "I said let me go! How can a human catch me?""Hey, do I seem human to you?" I ask.The Imp stopped swinging his little arms and stared at

"Are you okay, Miss Carter?"Satu pulls me from my train of thoughts, and I smile at him. "I'm good."His ears pull down. "I've heard stories about you.""Oh?" I say, made myself composed about the rumors about me."Don't get offended, I mean," Satu's face turns red. "I heard from the wolves that you were obsessed with Alpha Dominic since you were kids, and you will do anything to keep him away from other possible suitresses. Then they said you left because he has found his mate."I slapped my forehead and let out a groaning sigh. My reputation as the wolfless possessive villain has spread outside the werewolf community. Of course, it's a title I was given, and there is nothing to hide, but I want the gossip about me to stop. It makes my ears itch whenever people talk behind my back because of my past."That was all in the past," I told him as I glanced around at more decorative paintings on the wall and exquisite art pieces. "Plus, I left the pack not because Alpha Dominic found his

I feel like hours, days, weeks, even months. Sometimes I feel like it can be a decade to walk down the hallway to reach a room.Each on my side, the two Queens, talked and told stories about their lives and their childhood. Luckily, Satu didn't join but instead went to find King Ragnar.I mostly know Queen Bisera's story. Queen Ingrid was a bit intriguing.Before Queen Ingrid became the woman she is now. She's the oldest daughter of an aristocrat. As a human, she was shy and kept things to herself, but her father did not favor her because of her timid behavior. Her half-younger sister, Vanessa, was spoiled by her parents and would often make Ingrid get caught in her schemes. As her older sister, Vanessa takes the blame for everything she does. Over 500 years ago, the discovery of man turning into a beast was highly dangerous to humans because of their supernatural abilities. The human things going to war with them don't have a chance. So, to bring peace between the humans and werewolv

"Give me your hand."I move my hand slowly towards his. I can feel the pressure and tension, and my heart is crazy like a Mad Hatter, as if he's really on crack. But that's not the case, and I'm starting to doubt to trust this guy. He is a demon, but he's different from the twins and Jippis. I sense real evil within him. If he will pull a trick on me and suck out all my life, I have to strike first.I unleash a quarter of my demon magic not to be sensitive for the demon to catch on. Talima gasped behind me. She knows about my identity because she never questioned it. So I trusted her completely when she didn't tattle on me."Scared?" Merkon snicker.I glare at him. "No," then I placed my hand on his as I felt a wave of his magic going through me, but once that magic got a hold of my energy, I could feel it pulling.My body starts to drain. This asshole said only a tiny amount. He's trying to get the whole fucking buffet out of me."Lippy, stop."I ignore the pleading from Talima as
