Cassandra.I couldn't shake the tingles. Even after weeks had passed since Jacob left, the memory of his touch still sent shivers down my spine. I found myself longing for his touch, my mind filled with dirty desires that shouldn't be there in the first place. But a part of me felt guilty. Would I be putting my family and everything I have been brought up with behind because of him?He was messing with my head even without being present. There was something in his gaze when he looked at me, pure hunger burning inside of me. But I didn't know if he felt the same way. Sadness rang in my chest at the thought of his feelings not being reciprocated.But why should I be bothered? Why did I care if he had the same lustful feelings for me? Obviously, that's all it was. There was a part of me that burned with desire when he stared at me.Then there was a part of me that wanted to forget him completely. But another part, a nagging uncertainty, made it impossible to let go. I couldn't bring myse

Callox Pov.At the same time that Caroline broke free from Jennifer's grip, I took out my gun and rushed to Phoenix.He was already a spent bullet, so it didn't take me much effort to pin him on the floor with my knee on his back."Stop struggling, Phoenix," I said coldly, pressing the barrel of my gun against Phoenix's temple. I knew and was expecting him to react this way.He could never be trusted as far as I am concerned. I have mindlinked Rayell to be at alert that he was going to react, thankfully she understood and stayed at alert."A lot of your men are dead or wounded.You've as good as lost.Your days are done.Surrender quietly while you can, and don't bring destruction on yourself.My patience is limited.""Yes, it's not too late for you to surrender now,"Jennifer added, pulling Caroline up again and pinching her neck.Despite her bleeding hand, she looked calm and steady.Somehow, seeing her maintain her composure in this situation made me feel sorry for her.Caroline had to

Kayla's POV:Seeing that Austin was finally getting what he deserved, I couldn't help but burst into tears of joy.‘‘My dear husband, did you see that? Our son has finally avenged you! Thank God that justice was served.Now, Callox will ascend to the throne and lead our people to a bright future.I wiped my tears with a handkerchief, thinking wistfully about the time my husband was still alive.Then, I recalled what Callox had gone through.All sorts of emotions surged within me.However, I overheard the elders scolding Callox because he refused to give up his mate in spite of the Love Curse.Oh, that terrible curse! Austin had gone through lengths to get rid of Callox, even going so far as to collude with the wizard Larry.How vicious they were! Worse still, Larry had disappeared without a trace.With him gone, any hope of lifting the curse was dashed.In order for Callox to survive, he had no choice but to give up his love.But thinking about how good a girl Rayell was and how much

Callox's POV:After I sent my trusted subordinates to look for Riley and Kayla, Rayell and I once again walked around the royal palace to look for them, but we still couldn't find any trace of them."What the hell are you saying ?! You can't find them?" I yelled at a guard that was trembling at my feet."I'm sorry Alpha, we would soon find them." The worried look on Rayell's face made me feel sorry for her, but I knew that no matter how hard I tried to comfort her, it wouldn't be of any help. I wanted to comfort her to be by her side when the darkness comes. She was like for a reason and I was going to let her feel safe.After all, Riley was her brother, while Kayla was her best friend.Two of the closest people to her were missing.There was no doubt that she must be feeling very anxious right now.I could only accompany her silently."Mr.Jones, two suspected spies from the vampires side have escaped from the royal palace."Once we reached the royal palace, a guard rushed over, bow

Elizabeth's POV:I walked out of my chambers into the dead of the night, a lantern on my hands. "Mrs Jones! I have a report for you." My personal maid rushes up to me, panting like her life depended on it."What report is that?""Brenda has been imprisoned by Callox, and she is pregnant!" What? I felt my heart go numb at this piece of news. Why ? How could Callox do something as cruel as this to a pregnant woman?"She was said to have colluded with Phoenix?"Phoenix? I thought he didn't love her, I thought they had nothing to do with each other, was I being fooled? I couldn't believe this at all. I need to see for myself.The moment I saw Brenda in that jail cell, I felt as though someone had reached into my chest and squeezed my heart out.After all, despite our differences, she was someone I once loved dearly.Although I no longer considered Brenda to be my loving daughter anymore, I simply couldn't bring myself to let her rot in there after all the fond memories we had of each ot
