CHAPTER 31SANTIAGO ANGER TRIGGER The door slammed behind me harder than I intended. I ran my hands through my hair, not caring if the door fell off its hinges or not. I closed my eyes, trying to regulate my boiling blood. “You okay?” My eyes snapped open and my head turned towards Matteo. He was still up, legs stretched across the couch, textbook open on his lap. But the moment he saw clearly my face his brows lifted slowly.“Bro…” He closed the book. “Why do you look like someone who would’ve actually murdered a person if killing was legal?”I dragged a hand through my hair again and tossed my keys on the table. They clattered loud with a sharp sound, which was exactly how my nerves felt. Matteo's eyebrows still dipped as he stared at me, waiting patiently for an answer. He was right. Marco was lucky killing was illegal. “I ran into Callie,” I muttered, walking closer to the couch and plumping on it. I let out a deep sigh then turned my gaze to Matteo. Matteo straightened ins

CHAPTER 32CALLIEMAYBE I'M THE PROBLEM By the time I got to school the next morning, my head was still a mess. Marco’s cold tone, the way he wouldn’t even look at me at the bar… it kept replaying in my mind like an annoying movie I couldn’t pause.Isn't it torture to be tied to someone spirit and soul? I sat in the lecture hall with my notebook open and pen in hand, but my thoughts were nowhere near the board. The professor’s voice sounded like muffled radio noise and it was just echoing somewhere at the back of my head."Why did he act like that?""Did I do something wrong?""Should I call him?"My heart thudded hard as I slowly reached into my bag and pulled out my phone under the desk. I turned on the screen, staring as the screen lit up. I typed Marco’s name, my thumb hovered over the call button in a moment of hesitation. “Just call him Callie… Maybe he was in a bad mood yesterday. Get a clear air,” I whispered under my breath.I was just about to press the dial button when

CHAPTER 33SANTIAGO ALL ROADS LEAD TO CALLIEAnger, pure range boiled in my veins as I stared at her. The only thing holding me back from hitting her was that she was a female. I was using every will in my to stop myself from doing something drastic.“What the hell is wrong with you, Stella?”She blinked at me innocently, like she was the one offended. There was no remorse or regret whatsoever behind her eyes, and that only served to anger me more. “What do you mean what’s wrong with me? I was—”“No.” I held up a hand, jaw tight. “No. Don’t even try to play dumb with me. You know exactly what you just did.”She rolled her eyes dramatically, blinking her fake lashes as she tucked her hair behind her ears. “Oh come on, Santi. Stop acting like you don’t want me too. The tension between us has been there for months and there’s no denying it. Stop trying to hold back.”My eyebrows raised in disbelief then my expression morphed into amusement as I started laughing. actually laughed. A sh

CHAPTER 34MARCOBLOOD ON MY HANDSIt's one thing to take your freedom by force, it's another to sell it back to the same people you took it from. When I told my father I would heed to his words, I gave him the cuffs he needed to keep me in place. It was the most difficult decision I have ever made. I mean, willingly giving up your mate to protect them, the only person that's the same with you, soul and spirit is torture. So, we left the city before sunrise, not because I wanted to, but because I didn't have a fucking choice. Before leaving, I pulled my best worker, Luis, aside behind the bar counter. He looked confused because I rarely called meetings, not to talk of private meetings like this one.“Boss, you okay?” he asked.“I’m going on a long trip,” I said, hitting the nail on the head. “Maybe weeks, maybe more. But while I'm away, you’re in charge. Till I get back.”His eyes widened. “Wait–alone? No backup? No one–?”“Luis.” I gripped his shoulder, my voice low. “If anyone co

CHAPTER 35SANTIAGO FLAMING ANGERI stared between Luca's face and the flash drive he was rolling in between his fingers and I knew he was up to no good. It wasn't enough that he filled his presence with the place, he had that stupid smug grin I wanted to wipe off so bad. As he handed over the flash drive to the dean, he looked extremely calm and that smug smile was still on his face. That made it worse. The dean took the flash drive, turning it between his fingers, his eyebrows dipped into a frown as he inspected the drive like he could see it's information merely by looking at it. “Mr. Rodriguez, you requested a private audience and you say you have something that I might be interested in. I assume this…” he said, raising his fingers to show the flash drive, “contains something important?”Luca nodded, hands tucked casually into his pockets. “Oh, very important, sir. You'd love it.”I felt my jaw tighten, but I kept quiet, still watching as the scene between the two unfolded. Th

CHAPTER 36MARCOTHE HORROR THAT IS MY FATHERFor a few seconds when I stood in the ring, I locked eyes with Tyrone. I couldn't really tell what was behind his eyes, but I knew one thing. His eyes were cold and all he could see was blood. His eyes held no mercy.He was not going to go easy on me.After a few seconds of show down, I turned to look at my father again just as the bell sounded. He had that smug look on his face and I knew that this man would actually not care if I died. Tyrone charged like a bull, swinging his fist forward. I dodged left, barely missing his fist but the next punch grazed my jaw. Pain shot through me but it only fueled the fire inside. At least, enough to tell show me this was my reality now.He swung again, this time I blocked it and slammed my fist into his ribs, then ducked under his elbow. He was fast, but I was faster and my wolf's anger was fueling me. It was just a few inches from taking over.He caught me with a knee to the thigh, and I grunted, s

CHAPTER 37CALLIE IN BETWEEN PLEASURE AND WORRYA few seconds ago, I was angry, pissed that someone disturbed my shower. But when I pulled the door open and my eyes landed on Santiago, my anger vanished. For just a second I lost my voice, but when I'm found it and was about to use it, he pulled me into a hug. The bone crushing type. My eyebrows raised in surprise and it didn't take black magic to know he wasn't completely alright. Ignoring the fact that my towel was slipping off my body, I wrapped my arms around him, pulling him deeper into my embrace. His heart thumped loudly at first, loud enough for me to hear, but after staying in my embrace for a few seconds, it slowed down. He pulled away from me, gazing into my eyes like he had a million and one things to say but didn't know where to start from. Taking his hand, I pulled him inside my room and closed the door behind him. “Is something wrong? Did something happen?” The look on his face gradually turned into a comforting sm

CHAPTER 38MATTEO THE ACHE BENEATH MY BONES You know those days where you hate the universe for pushing you out of the house and you wished you hadn't come to school? Today was exactly one of those days. I shouldn’t have come to school.I knew it the second I opened my eyes that morning and stared into the ceiling like I always do every morning. Something deep inside me was off and I didn't know what was. There was nothing physical I could put a name to, but I knew it was deeper. Deeper like my wolf had rolled over in his sleep and refused to get up. I felt completely strange and weird. But guess what? I still dragged myself out of bed, showered, got dressed, and told Santiago I’d meet him later like going to school was going to make me feel better. Luckily it was just me overthinking it because Santiago didn't notice anything. If anything was wrong with me, he was always the first to notice it, sometimes even before I did. At least, that's what I thought. Now, sitting in the

CHAPTER 39CALLIE MARCO'S MISSING The moment Santiago told me he knew where Marco lived and we could go check it out, I almost passed out from relief. My heart dropped from both relief and panic at the same time.“Go get dressed,” Santiago had said, noticing my relief as he placed a kiss on my face. So now, here I was, tugging on the zipper of my hoodie as I stood in front of the mirror in my dorm. My hands were shaking.“Even with a hoodie on, you still turn heads,” Santiago said, hugging from behind as he hummed into my ears. I chuckled, prying his hands away because if I didn't, we might end up going another round. “Put your pants and shirt on,” I said, and he smiled, nodding his head gently. “Aye aye captain.” I watched him put on his shirt, my thoughts wondering for a bit as my eyes sized his body. If it weren't for the mate bond, there was no way in hell I was going to pull a body like that one. Finally, Santiago stood, fully clothed, hands in his pockets and keys danglin

CHAPTER 40MARCOTRAPPED IN-BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND HELLHow the fuck does a place like this exists? And in my father's compound?I shook my head, eyes darting over every horrifying detail in the lab. From the restraints to the blood-stained bandages and the machines pumping something into their veins.“What did you do?” My voice cracked. “Dad, what the hell are you doing to them?”“Evolotun, Marco. Evolution,” he answered simply. “Evolution? What fucking evolution?” I asked in disbelief, unable to tear my eyes away from a kid. He looked to be in his early teens, lying almost lifeless on the floor with a collar around his neck. His veins were greenish.“I’m turning them. Perfecting a method to convert humans into werewolves without the curse of instability.”My stomach twisted violently and I could feel bile rise in my throat.“You’re experimenting on people?” I whispered. “On innocent humans?”He frowned, irritation crossing his face like he had every justification for his actions. “I
