Rick POV I underestimated her ability. I met her 3 times in the last 2 days and we ended up fucking. When I was around her I forgot what I wanted and acted like I was in haze. But I wasn't bitten by her, I would remember and I even checked in the mirror. I needed to speak to Eliana to lessen Diana's power over me. I remember a pink fog before I end up like a fucking dog in heat. Every fucking time! I got a potion that lessens the effect of her power for a while, I hope I would be able to talk to her before her ability overpowers the potion. The worst thing is I still wasn't able to get off. The last time I was close but she passed out before I relieve myself. And necrophilia isn't my thing, so I left her room frustrated. And yet again, I'm here before her door, contemplating what I should do differently this time. I drank the potion 2 minutes ago because according to Eliana, this potion takes effect immediately. I knocked 2 times when a moaned "Come in" was heard from the ot

Rick POV After I came back to my senses, I walked toward her and stopped in front of her. I didn't know if I believe this turn of events. Suddenly the room alongside my mind seemed to have a little space. When she calmed down, she just sat in the chair, and stared, lost in thoughts. I went to grab the wine and poured her a glass and for me a whiskey. I sat down on the other chair and looked back at her. Now, I am sitting in my chair, and trying to figure out what is she trying to tell me. She's sitting with pulled-up legs, and sipping her wine. "Are you feeling better now?" - I ask her, gentler than before but still, it may seem cold to others. She looks back at me, smiling, but that smile doesn't reach her eyes. Now she looks like an innocent little girl and for the first time since I met her, I don't find anything sexy about her. Don't get me wrong, she's still that beautiful woman but now, she doesn't feel like she needs to seduce me, the atmosphere is changed between us. "I h

Rick POV ~~~~ A FEW DAYS AFTER HE MET HIS MATE ~~~~ Eugene is driving me crazy. I don't know how but my wolf didn't shut up since we met that girl. I swear I miss the months he didn't speak. He almost took control of my body because he wanted to hold his mate. I feel something is not right in this equation. Every time I have a little bit of hope, things turn out to be dangerous. I mean, more dangerous than usual since I am the one who brings death to others. Why do I feel that this girl will be my death? I refuse to believe in fairy tales, a beast like me doesn't deserve a second chance. And I was fucked over the last time a mate showed up in my life, so... thanks, but no, thanks. My life is complicated, and I don't need another female to compromise my accomplishments. Speaking of females... Diana tried to make contact with me, even came to that meeting where her father, my Uncle, and I tried to smooth things over. She made everything worse. I realized she manipulates her fathe

Eliza POV The last two days went like a blur. After the moment I read that letter I couldn't sleep even for a minute. I dozed off here and there, but I am so stressed about that mysterious message I can't think about anything else. I am at the college's camera room and observe all the monitors cautiously. There was not even a burglary in here before, but I should be careful. I don't know who sent it and I don't know how much they know about me. I can't express how much I fear for my life, although sometimes I feel it would be better without me, still, even the thought of dying right now is so tremendous, I start shaking in my seat. I try to take calming breaths, I try to shut my mind but nothing helps until an image pops up in my head. An image of that asshole of a lord who called me a wrench. My fear suddenly turns to anger and I just want to smack his head to make me feel this insecure again. I know I am not an extraordinary person, or even have a beautiful body, but I stayed

Rick POV Well, fuck it is... "And what exactly do you mean by that?" - I ask, hoping I can avoid it somehow. "She will be your death. You will die. You cease to exist... shall I continue?" - she asks irritated. "I know what doom means, thank you very much!" - I answer sarcastically. - "What I meant is what will happen? What causes it?" - Is there a way to avoid it? I didn't dare to ask. She would think I am a wuss. She looks at me like I have just grown two heads. She takes a deep breath like I just annoy her. She slowly lowers her eyes to my chest then back at my face and eyes. I see a flicker of confusion in her opal eyes, then it disappears. "How did you get that scar?" - she asks "How do you know I have a scar?" - I ask back. We look straight into each other's eyes. As if we're challenging each other. She then closes her eyes and smoothes her hand through her hair. "Not that is any of your business, but since I owe you..." - she trails off as it causes her some kind of a pa
