I scrubbed my eyes, shaking my head and staring intently at the body being dragged with each arm by the two bodyguards. Thick red blood was smearing in a straight line as her body trudged along the floor over to the front of the cage, where I was.Her face and entire was bloody with deep cuts and stabs, but I could clearly recognize her as Joy, the girl who just left here after bringing food for me.They dropped her motionless body on the floor and unlocked the key of the cage before flinging her inside before locking the gate back, leaving me with Joy, who seemed to have been tortured and wounded so severely. Every part of her body, from head to toe, was bleeding, and her breath was shallow, forced, and hitched at intervals.She was dying."Joy!!" I shrieked, taking her into my arms and trying to wake her up, but the young girl doesn't seem like one to survive it anymore. Her eyes were closed, and apart from her heart, which was thumping, no other part of her was in motion. They had

"That girl had stayed longer than any werewolf survival limit. I think they want her dead this time. She will only stay alive for two hours after being brought out before giving up the ghost. I just don't understand why they blame her for what you did. Do they suspect her to have vampire powers?" Jake's voice rang in my head like a bell, sending cold shivers down my spine as goosebumps spread through my skin."Are you sure she isn't the girl you saved? You seemed so concerned. Like, it's written all over your face." Jake added, his brows creasing in curiosity.I ignored him totally, my eyes fixed at the stage where everyone, including the Alpha, was totally absentminded already, forgetting that someone was inside that box. The Luna was the only one that kept glancing at it with a secret smirk playing on her lips as she made sure to keep the Alpha busy with her chitchat and continuous drinking. It was after the scream that they all turned in shock, realizing that they had kept someone

My cheeks must both be red like fresh tomatoes, and I couldn't resist licking my lips as the feeling of his soft, sensual lips lingered on my lips even when he was already gone. The kiss was very short, but the feelings were really deep, and the sensation lingered long enough that I smiled wide until I was grinning.The doctor who made the announcement was too shocked and dumbfounded to say anything. His eyes said it all as I gawked like one who had met face-to-face with a two-headed human. It was so unbelievable, not only to see that I was miraculously healed but also to witness a kiss from a vampire. He didn't say anything but left with the vampire. It wasn't until they were both gone that I sat up, and at that moment I sighted something on the floor. It was a pearl bracelet that appeared otherworldly as it twinkled from where I sat.Quickly, I left the bed and picked it up, realizing instantly that it must have fallen from Jaden's grasp. My doubt was cleared when I peeked at it c

When I reached the royal pack house, the Alpha and his Luna were in the sitting room."Go and greet your new masters and ask if there is anything they need you to do for them. They just returned and might need a slave to help them do a lot." The Luna said, scornfully, making sure to emphasize the slave she just called me. Her words really hurt, but there was nothing I could do.I thought I would one day get used to her heartbreaking abuse and demeaning comments, but each time, it hits differently and the pain continues, which she clearly enjoys.With tears threatening to fall from my eyes, I walked away, climbing up the stairs as I headed to the room. It was a room I had been cleaning every day since I became a slave here. For over a year, I cleaned the room daily, awaiting their return. I decided to meet with the son first before the daughter, whose room was on the next floor above. As I drew closer to his room through the hallways, I wondered how old he would be and what his looks

My name is Callan Lake, the only son of the alpha of this pack, and you know what that means? I am the future Alpha, the next heir, and the very man to take over this pack after my father and sit on that throne with everyone bowing to me.As the only son, I don't have to fight for that position. It is my birthright, and all I have to do is enjoy my life to the fullest, have everything I desire, and then become the Alpha after a few years when my father resigns.This is a life every man would dream of, especially when my appearance is an amazing work of art, so handsome and sexy that every woman would find it impossible to resist. A little smile crossed my face as I thought of this, but it all vanished the moment I remembered my mate, the girl who seemed to hate me already. I saw the glint in her eyes when she told me to reject her quickly.I expected her to be on her knees, helplessly pleading for me to accept her. As the Alpha's son, I really thought she would be crawling beneath my
