I woke up to the smell of pancakes and my stomach growled in response. I was probably dreaming because there's no way in hell Kaizen was making pancakes. I doubt he even knows how to cook. He has never cooked before, at least not in front of me. I tried getting up from the bed but my limbs were too weak to stand up. How can one be so tired after just waking up from sleep? It felt like I'd just ran a one thousand miles. After one more attempt, I finally got up from the bed and strolled into the bathroom. I looked at my reflection mid walk, making me halt. I looked like a zombie. A walking zombie. My hair looked like a bird had built a house on it and there were several love bites on my neck. In conclusion, I looked like shit. Though no one could see me, I felt heat crawl up my cheeks at the sight as flashes of last night appeared in my eyes.I walked towards the toilet and eased my heavy bladder before picking up a toothbrush. As I brushed my teeth, I noticed the unmistakable glow o

Kaizen's POVAs soon as I heard his name from her mouth, I immediately snatched the phone away from Aurora. “You're fucking dead, Lucious. I'm going to fucking kill you.” I growled into the phone, putting it on speaker. They bastard had the nerve to laugh. “And the mate arrives. It's been a while, old friend. How have you been Kaizen?” He asked casually, pudding me off even more.“I'm going to be fine after slitting your throat off with a knife.”“That's sad.” He said with a mocking laugh. “Aurora wouldn't want that, would she?” I looked at Aurora in confusion, wondering what he was talking about. “Oh, she didn't tell you?” Luciois asked innocently. “She didn't tell you how much she loved my touch much more than yours. Or how she gets aroused when I touch her?”“Lucious, please... Stop this.” Aurora pleaded, avoiding my eyes.“Is this true?” Kaizen asked in a stiff voice. I looked down at my feet, ignoring his question. “Of course it's true.” Lucious said mockingly. “You think she

I walked into the basement with Zane trailing right behind me. After telling him everything I've never told anyone, I could say there was a noticable difference in our relationship.Zane was a man I cared for deeply, his mother included. When I had 'episodes' with my deadbeat parents, he was always there. Understood me and listen to my worries like a brother would. At first he was disappointed that I would keep such a huge secret from him for so many decades. But that was immediately replaced with immense anger and rage.It felt... refreshing to finally let people in. I had been taught that telling your problems to others made you weak. I lived with that mentality for the past 300 years of my life. Never opening up to someone, while letting it eat at me and pretend I was fine.We finally stood at the middle of the basement where Rostov was tied up and badly beaten and bruised. I felt rage bubble within me as I looked at me, it took all will power not to snap his fucking neck and call

Aurora's POV“Are you okay?” I asked Kaizen as he came back to the room after going to the balcony to pick his call.He sighed. “Not really. News has gotten to me that they would be attacking in two days time. And I have a feeling it's going to be brutal.” He ran his hands through his dark matt of hair. The moon glowed around his skin and I couldn't help but worship the sign of him.I immediately snapped out of it as there were more pressing matters on ground right now. “Do you think we can trust him?” I said, finally voicing out my worries. “Rostov? You have nothing to worry about, little one. I believe we can trust him in this. Just trust me, okay?”“How can you say that? You barely even know him. He could still be working for Lucious for all we know. I just hope we aren't making a bad decision once more, Kaizen. I don't want to lose you.” I said softly, rubbing my palm on his jaw.He gently took my hand and placed a kiss on my open palm. “You're not going to lose me, baby. And I d

Aurora's POVOur moment of pure Bliss was abruptly cut short as the demon charged towards us with inhumane speed. Without a second thought, Kaizen's body started to shift, his bones cracking as his muscles bulged and his black fur sprouted. I watched in awe and fear as he transformed into his beast, a fierce and powerful creature.The demon didn't hesitate, launching itself at my mate with claws extended. But Kaizen was more faster and agile, dodging the attack and striking back with his own claws. The demon snarled in frustration, its red eyes glowing with anger.The fight was brutal and intense, the demon's strength matched by Kaizen's ferocity. The ground shook with the force of their blows, furniture and decorations crashing to the floor.Despite the demon's otherworldly abilities, Kaizen was more stronger and determined. He fought with all his might, using his teeth and claws to rip into the demon's flesh. Blood spattered across the room, mixing with broken glass and shattered w
