Lahat ng Kabanata ng Sinful Desires: Fatal bonds: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

A huge kick to my already curled-up, battered, and bruised body ripped a scream from my throat. I lay there coughing up mouthfuls of blood. But no, unfortunately for me, it did not end there. It never did.There came more furious bouts, harder and faster, my mind beginning to blur.My mouth was bloodied, blood stains everywhere.What in the carnation was this?I wanted to give up.But then I heard a sound.Had someone come to save me?I tried to look around weakly at the sound of the voice. It was oddly male and commanding.He spoke loudly at the people who had hit me. Unfortunately my mind was already phasing out of existence, and I only caught the trace of disdain filling his eyes before I fell unconscious.—My head felt like it would shatter at any moment.I felt clean, as though I had been washed.Apparently I was in a little clinic.Where was I?I looked around quickly, spotting only a cute female nurse who bubbled from one bed to another. She noticed I was awake and held my sta

I found his lounge easily enough, though “lounge” was an insult to what stood before me. It was enormous, an entire secluded wing of the High District, untouched and unreachable to anyone who wasn’t powerful enough to breathe that kind of air. No one lived remotely close to him. No one dared to. This was a level of residence meant for the elite.And somehow, I was walking straight into it.They had sent me here without a proper explanation. Just a clipped command, a shove in the right direction, and suddenly I was stumbling toward the home of the most terrifying wolf alive, dressed in clothes torn to rags and stained by my own blood.The building was shaped like a circular fortress, single-storied but sprawling, surrounded by ponds that formed a kind of man-made island. Stone paths crossed the water as a path. Even before the ponds, gardens bloomed in every direction, flowers arranged with such deliberate artistry that for a moment I forgot the pain radiating through my bruised ribs.

Not just any girl. A doll. A porcelain thing meant to be stared at, touched and judged, objectified even, was the look they went for. The lycan princess Eliana Kael Nightfang stood behind me with a triumphant smile while several lycan ladies circled me like excited predators.I stood in the center of the room completely naked.Every attempt to cover myself felt useless. Their hands kept tugging my arms down, telling me to stop being shy, telling me they needed to “see the proportions” so they could dress me properly.My face burned with humiliation. My throat tightened so painfully I could barely breathe.One woman giggled, her eyes roaming my body in a way that made me want to vanish into thin air.Another leaned closer, whispering to her friend.“He is so pretty. If Aldric did not already have him, I would take him for myself.”“Look at that waist. Look at that skin. A perfect little beauty.”“He is cuter than half the females here. No wonder Aldric went for him.”Their voices stabb

If anyone asked me later how my first proper day at the academy went.. telling them it was uneventful, ordinary and forgettable would be a lie.The day started badly and only found new ways to worsen.I woke before the bell, my body already sore as if it knew what awaited me, I had ended up sleeping at Aldric's door frame. And had to hurry to the school hostel residential building for my ID and necessities.Pitiably, the room assigned to me in school was small and plain, nothing like Aldric’s residence, and so it felt too open. Too exposed. I dressed quickly, choosing the plainest uniform I owned, tugging the sleeves down to hide bruises that had not fully faded. My nose still felt tender from an old hit. I pressed my fingers against it, sighed, and left before I could overthink myself into staying.Class A.That was where they placed me.Not because I was exceptional. Not because I had proven anything. But again, because I was Aldric’s assistant.The whispers began the moment I stepp

I was almost back at my hostel. Faint giddy feelings blooming in my chest.The familiar iron gates rose ahead of me, carved with sigils of protection, only activated during emergency cases. The lamps lining the path flickered softly, their light dim and tired, like the academy itself was weary of watching what happened after dark.I should have known better.A shadow stepped into my path.Then another.Then another.Three wolves blocked the narrow walkway just before the entrance, their bodies relaxed in a way that made my skin prickle. They were older than me, broader, their auras pressing in like a wall. Class A insignias gleamed faintly on their collars.I slowed instinctively.One of them smiled.“Oh,” he said lazily. “Look at this. The smart pup.”I kept my head down, fingers curling at my sides. My instincts screamed at me to run, but there was nowhere to go. The path behind me felt too long. I wouldn't make it past them.“Did you hear him today?” another said, circling slightly
