The Beast's Prey — A Rejected Runt's Fate นิยาย & เรื่องราว

“It’s the Blood Moon. And under its light, the forest changes. The shadows twist. And the prey... is unlike anything you've hunted before.” His words sank in like ice. “This prey has been corrupted by dark magic. It’s fast, it’s lethal, and it will fight back. Your job is to catch it. Simple enough. But remember... not everyone comes back.” A murmur swept through the crowd. Jayson let the silence hang before finishing with a cruel smile. “No mercy. No alliances. Each of you will face the creature alone. And whoever succeeds earns honor for their pack and a place among its strongest, no matter their rank.”

He had pinned me against the cold stone of the relic chamber, his arm coiled around my head, the other hand bruising my hip. His breath was ragged, his golden eyes heavy with the darkness of the curse that threatened to consume him. “You want to hate me,” he growled, his fangs scraping against my throat. “Your scent tells me otherwise, even as your eyes promise murder.” I choked on a breath, my body betraying me. “I will never be your Queen,” I snapped, even as my body arched towards him. He laughed softly, pressing his hips into mine, so I could feel the rigid length of him. “I don’t want a Queen, little Null. I want to burn alive in you before the world ends. And you, you’re going

Torches flared—and then the first cage door buckled. It wasn’t from the fire. A low, guttural roar rolled out, shaking the snow from the pines. Chains snapped like twigs, and something huge and pale surged into the open—a beast of matted fur and bone-spiked shoulders, its eyes pools of red light. The Creed hadn’t just bound monsters. They had starved them. “Fall back!” the heir ordered, but the ground shuddered as the beast slammed into the nearest rider, hurling man and horse aside like toys.

My parents understood my confusion. "sit down my boy. we will explain to you." my Dad told me. I did as he told me. "This is Mateo, your sister's mate. She will be leaving in three days to go to his pack. that is why this dinner was arranged." my Mum told me. I just nod at them. But inside I was jealous. my sister had found her mate and here I was yet to find mine. My wolf scoffed and was starting to get edgy. I tried not to show any emotion so that they don't know the hurt. The three of them nodded their heads with my agreement. Soon we were having dinner. My wolf was on edge the entire dinner hence I left earlier to go for a run. I bid my parents goodbye as I left.

I looked up and my stomach dropped. Aziel Nightbane. The monster himself. His golden eyes burned down at me with pure hate. Up close he smelled like blood and smoke and something darker that made my wolf stir. “Who are you running from boy?” he growled. His voice was low and rough like gravel under boots. His grip tightened on my arm hard enough to bruise. I gasped for air and forced words out even though my throat felt tight. “Please. I am nothing. Just a slave omega. Let me go and I will disappear. You will never see me again I swear it.”

It gives him a few seconds before the hounds decide attacking is their best move. They might have gained some newfound intelligence, but Beast is smart and has had years of practice. Our eyes carry bloodlust, our bodies made for killing. Beast's claws rake a wide path across one throat and chest. It's not a killing blow, but the hound lists to the side and the other jumps around him. It's almost like he's protecting the hurt creature. Beast lets out a growl that rumbles clear to our feet and charges head-on. We clash and the hound goes to the ground with Beast on top. We grab his neck within our crushing jaws and crunch bone. The other hound lands on top of us, his snapping jaws taking a bit

As though feeling the tension of being prey and me the predator, his gaze darted between the mouth of the alley and me, biting his lip until it was bright red. “I can fuck you up.” I loved fucking with terrified people. The wolf inside me paced in anticipation. I took a step toward him and he paled, shaking so badly the gun wobbled in his hand. “Stop it!” His voice rose to a scream. “I’ll kill you. I will!” “Try it.” I took another step closer. “See what happens.” His eyes widened like he thought I was crazy, and he wasn’t far off. When you’ve hunted for the mafia, killed people they didn’t want to bloody their hands with, and taken out whole families, nothing sane remained.

Rain's position with the creature was too close. Rain could hear a low growl that reached her ears as if rumbling across the plank floor. "There's another tonight, another monster," Rain said in her heart. "Jace Dauntess is indeed a monster, but the person before me is more of a monster than Jace himself. Who exactly is this figure?" The growl sounded again. "For the sake of the saints!" shouted Rain. "This creature is hungry! And he looked at me. He thinks I'm his food tonight."

It’s preposterous that they would take any interest in a plain human slave like me. Did they really enjoy teasing me and fooling me like this? Firstly, the Alpha, who pretended to be kind and considerate, not forcing on me after the auction, unaccountably decided to exert his right today. Then, the aristocracy vampire, who inscrutably declared to claim me as his, played a role of someone’s Romeo and made me like an idiot. At last, the mysterious third master, Mr. Drakos, made a conclusive commentary that I was the shameless slut who insatiably longed for entangling with all of them

The beast took another eerily silent step towards him— causing his body to betray him further as he began to try harder to curl into himself and away from the beast. "Hrmmmm...WHY DIDN'T YOU DINE ON YOUR KILL?....grrrrRRR!" The beast yelled at him in a questioning manner. He thought the question over before answering, trying to be careful in what he said. "I'm not an animal-- not a wild one at least....it felt...erhm...wrong. Taboo." He said shakily as he put his head up to face at least the beasts legs. "Hmm...I think yoU're JuSt scarrrEd to embRrrace what you arrrrrre...grrrr.."
