11. The real bad guy

My mother screamed in agony, "What do you want with my daughter?!" Jax ordered Kai to hand me over, but Kai only tightened his grip on me with his cold hands. Before I could process what was happening, Kai dashed out of the place so fast my eyes couldn't keep up. In the dimly lit living room, my mother's absence finally registered. "You left her!" I snapped at Kai, who looked at me coldly. "I'm sorry, but she's going to be a burden to us," he said with an emotionless voice. I couldn't believe what he was saying. "Save my mom!" I screamed back. "It's pointless," he replied, his voice void of any compassion. "Take me back instead. I didn't ask to be saved!" The way he ignored me made me think I could just easily walk out of the house. "Step out of the door and you'll be locked up in your room," he warned. I ignored his warning and reached for the door handle, but Kaizel, a man I had never met before, suddenly appeared in front of me. He towered over me on purpose, making me feel s

12. First bite

I couldn't be more shock at what he said. I can be a troll, wizard and a fairy too. I sat on the chair with a deep resentment on Kai. "So, you knew all along but still turned me just because you despised Jax?" I asked. "Yes, but don't forget that you were meant to be bonded with me," Kai replied with a smirk. "My wolf howled for Jax, he's my mate, not you!" It suddenly hit me like a ton of bricks. "Did you forget that you chose me over him?" Kai taunted. He was right. I realized that this was entirely my fault. Jax had been screaming the truth, but I believed Kai because I thought he was trying to help me overcome my issues. Fuming with anger, I closed my eyes. Should I make a deal with him? No, that's not going to work. I shook my head as I noticed Kai busy watering his withered plant. "You know plants need sunlight, right?" I asked, trying to show him that I was kind. "It's not going to change anything, Aria," Kai replied, shrugging his shoulders. I rolled my eyes. "Stop ea

13. Red

I stood in the clearing, my heart pounding in my chest as I faced off against Kai. The feeling of the need to break the bond itched me. I fell uncomfortable under Kai's gaze. I can feel him everywhere I go and it would not take an hour for him to find me. "Remember what I told you, Aria. He's not who you think he is. He's a bad man, a killer, a danger to you and to us." Kai stood still by the door, guarding it to stop my attempt to dash out. I looked into Kai's eyes, I couldn't believe his words. It was a graveyard inside his eyes, I couldn't bring colors to him. I can feel myself fading as I discover more about myself and my abilities. "You're lying," I said, my voice shaking with anger and confusion. "Jax is not bad and he isn't good either. But he found me at the store first, he took time to find me." My grip tightened, my nails digging into my flesh, my eyes flashing with anger. "Don't be foolish, Aria. He's using you, manipulating you for his own gain. He doesn't care about y

14. Mother

As I walked alongside Jax, I could feel the tension building in my chest. We were headed toward his pack's territory, and I had no idea what to expect. I had only just met Jax's pack a few days ago, and I wasn't sure how they would react to me as Jax's mate who was their mortal enemy since the start of time. The good thing was Jax was able to spray something on me that would hide my musky scent away from the werewolves. As we approached the pack's clearing, I saw a group of werewolves gathered around a little store. They all turned to look at us as we approached, their eyes fixed on me. But then, something caught my eye, something that made my heart skip a beat. My mother. She was there, among the werewolves, helping out with their work. I could see the worry etched on her face as she looked at me, her eyes brimming with concern and tears. "Aria, this is the mainland where I rule armies along with their family," Jake said, gesturing toward the werewolves. "They're good creatures,

15. The Mountains

"Aria, come back!"I ran through the dark forest, my heart racing with fear and confusion. How could my mother, the woman who had raised me and loved me unconditionally, try to kill me like that? And for what? For humanity's sake? It was madness. But as I ran, I realized that she wasn't entirely wrong. Vampires were dangerous creatures, and I had seen firsthand the destruction they could cause. Maybe she was just trying to protect the people she loved, even if it meant sacrificing her own daughter. I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts. I couldn't keep running forever. I needed to find a way to undo my vampirism, to become human again. But how? As I stumbled through the forest, lost and alone, a voice interrupted my thoughts. "Young Aria," I spun around, ready to fight or flee. But it wasn't a vampire that I saw. It was Marcelo standing by the tree. "What are you doing here? How did you find me?" The Lycan Beta smiled. "I have an answer for you to start your journey to und

16. Training

Today is the day that the witches will help me. It was my first time sleeping on the ground with only clothes to separate me from the bare dirt of the ground. "Aria, can I come in?" I heard Jax's voice behind the thick curtain with tiny gaps from the other side. "Come in," I threw one of the blankets with weird marks on the side where it was once placed before looking at Jax who only stared down at me."What is it?" I asked."Don't act like you don't know what you did." He smirks with his jaw clenching. I stared back at him remembering the night we kissed. The kiss that I initiated out of nowhere. "Oh, that! It was to check your pulse." I lied before dashing outside but I forgot that it was early in the morning. The sunlight struck my skin that was out in the open, and I hissed.I ran back inside with my skin burning, I was smoking all over the tent my burns are barely healing. "Why does it take so long to heal?""You need to feed, you're weak enough to heal that fast," Jax explaine
