NyxWith the number of times my jaw dropped today, I'm surprised it's still attached to my face. Even though I wasn't able to witness it, I'm so happy that Mira found her mate. But then, Cullen?"Cullen? As in my brother Cullen?" I knew my question was stupid but I couldn't help it. Her eyes caught the reflection of the chandelier in the middle of the ballroom."Of course, Nyx. Which other Cullen do you know?" Like I said, I'm happy she found her mate, I just don't get why she is."Cullen is a douchebag." The words slipped out before I could think."He's the future Beta." She had a dreamy look in her eyes. What the fuck?"He's a douchebag." I repeated. I don't know what the mate bond did to her, but she's not paying attention to the douchebag part."And he's so handsome," her eyes found mine, "and he accepted me. We accepted each other." More like you handed your brains to him in exchange for the bond."Is this what you want?" Of course it's all she ever wanted. Is he who she wants th

KyrellThird personKyrell stopped dead in his tracks. He wasn't surprised that Samiel figured it out. The man has always been very observant. What surprised him was the excitement in his voice."Tell no one about it." Kyrell said and resumed his stride. He doesn't care about her. The fragile being that makes him question his sanity.Samiel could see the tension on his prince shoulder, even when he was trying too hard to mask it. He picked up his pace."But why shouldn't I? You found your fated mate. That I extremely hard to come by for lycans, and you found yours." Samiel followed behind him until they got to Kyrell's study."I don't believe you should keep this a secret. Not when the hunt is tomorrow."Kyrell sat on his seat behind the mahogany desk, and started working on the files piled up in front of him."You shouldn't tell anyone because I say so." His voice didn't match the conflict going on in his mind.Samiel could only do as his future alpha orders. He knows how strong the

NyxI groaned as Mira came to stand beside me at the closet. "Don't tell me you lied about your pain just to avoid coming to the welcome dinner." Mira wouldn't stop bickering since she got back from the dinner.I stared at her exhausted face. She was barely holding it together but still found the strength to throw questions at me. Questions I racked my brain finding answers to, I came up with nothing."I did not." I only stood up to go to the bathroom this morning and realized that the pain was gone.I was too surprised to say anything and Mira had been too focused on her makeup to notice. And when I came out of the bathroom, she was already gone."Then explain to me why you're no longer limping. And why do you smell different?" She stared intently at me."I stood up to go to the bathroom this morning and noticed the pain was no longer there. And I made use of the free shampoo." I said, moving to sit on my bed before she dropped another question.I left out the part where faint green

KyrellThird PersonHe should have killed her. He should have sat in that meeting with his parents and endured the pain squeezing at his chest. He wanted to do anything other than what he did. Save her.The abomination the Moon Goddess gave him as a mate. A weak human that couldn't endure a minor nail injury. A weak human that couldn't find her way out of trouble after finding her way into it. The same human he stopped another Lycan from claiming.He crossed one leg over the other, tilting the glass of whiskey in his hands. The hunt is tomorrow. Lycans above thirty who hadn't claimed a mate would go schizophrenic, and that was a fate no Lycan wanted. Therefore, they hunted unclaimed females and marked them before the Crimson Hunt.That was why security this year was tightened, to prevent the accidental marking of she-wolves. But she wasn't a wolf. Kyrell's brows furrowed in a frown. If a Lycan had sensed her enough to mark her, there must be something more to her.Footsteps echoed dow

NyxI couldn't feel the pain in my feet anymore, not when fear was clawing at me from the inside. My eyes widened, and my mouth opened, but nothing came out of it. All I could do was stare at the brown Lycan impaling me with its grip, its blue eyes sending shivers down my spine.It bared its fangs at me, bringing me close to its nose. It sniffed me and attempted to dig its fangs into my neck. At this point, I had stopped praying. All I could hope for was a quick death.I shut my eyes tight, bracing myself for the inevitable, when another howl cut through the air. One that sounded so thick, so ancient. One that must have angered the Lycan before me, for it suddenly gripped me tighter and brought my neck to the tip of its fangs, making my heart drop.Just as the tip of its fangs brushed my neck, another Lycan appeared from the shadows, one I hadn't noticed earlier because of its jet black fur. It was bigger and faster than and It's golden eyes were the only part of him I could see prope

NyxThe trip to the Quicksilver pack was fun. My brother made sure I conserved my strength by keeping me quiet throughout the car ride. Actually, he tied a cloth around my mouth and seized my phone, but it's all the same. I sat next to Vesper throughout the drive while Calix and Cullen sat in the front.Vesper used every opportunity to turn me into her personal maid, sending me on errands whenever we stopped for a break.Calix, on the other hand, didn't spare me a glance. It was like I didn't exist in his sight. How heartwarming to be ignored by my crush. At least they were kind enough not to put me in the car trunk.The car slowed down as we got to a checkpoint. The third one since we arrived at Quicksilver pack. What's with all the security? Still, I couldn't help but admire how beautiful and coordinated the Quicksilver pack is. I looked through the tinted window, luxurious cars moved slowly in the traffic in front.I stared at the security guards who looked like their uniforms were
