Chapter 11 - CEO In My Apartment

JennaDread settles in like a bird in my stomach the minute I open the door to my apartment. My curtains are drifting in the wind, like two ghostly arms letting in the cold into my home. Snow covers the wooden planks; books are on the floor; even the pages are torn.I stare at the scene, unable to speak or move.This is my home, the place where I used to feel safe. And now, I can't breathe as I step into my mess of an apartment.Who would do this?Catherine?Ariel walks past me and closes the window with a stern expression. "It smells like a werewolf has been in here,"Perking up my ears, I stare at Ariel. "A werewolf? But I don't think I have any werewolves who hate me?""Are you sure about that?" Ariel picks up a paper from my pillow. "Someone wrote you a letter,"I walk inside, closing the door behind me. "A letter?" I'm not sure if I want to read it.As if having read my thoughts, Ariel locks his eyes on the l

Chapter 12 - Blaze Days

BlazeThe day my parents died, I lost myself.Love stopped existing in my world along with hope.Losing my parents turned me into a demon, a werewolf chained to his past. Even my pack is afraid of me. They may respect me, but they also talk behind my back. I’m their alpha, the person they follow out of fear, and the person they call a monster when they think I can’t hear.Them calling me a monster doesn’t bother me, though. I’m not my pack member’s friend. I’m not here to make them feel better about themselves; I’m here to lead them.For years we have searched for the vampire calling herself Catherine. I’ve traveled around the world together with my pack members, and now we have finally found her.Catherine.Simply saying her name makes my skin crawl.She murdered my parents and won the war ten years ago. Vampires are on top of the food chain, but I came here intending to change t

Chapter 13 - Blaze Days Part 2

BlazeFinding Jenna proves easy. I catch her scent in the air and find her standing outside her apartment.She is wearing casual clothes and a bun on top of her head. Her hands are hastily searching her bag while she is muttering to herself. Did she drop something?Hesitantly, I stalk closer to the unsuspecting woman while staying in my wolf form. I can’t shape-shift here. There are no spare clothes in this area.“To be honest, she seems to prefer it when you aren’t wearing a shirt,” Fenrir usually isn’t the dirty type, but right now, he is grinning. “Maybe if she saw everything, it would be easy winning her over,”I growl at my wolf. “Shut up. You are supposed to be the role model here, not the idiot who gives me stupid ideas,”“Are you serious?”My ears perk up to the sound of Jenna’s voice. Finally, she has spotted me from across the street.&n

Chapter 14 - The Alpha And The Slayer

JennaShakily, I hand Blaze a pair of oversized sweatpants. Our fingers lightly brush against each other, and I withdraw my hand, burned by the touch. There is tension in the air, and Blaze tilts his head, eyeing me thoughtfully while pulling on the borrowed sweatpants.Funnily enough, my oversized sweatpants fit him to a tee. The grey Adidas hug his muscular thighs and end above his calves.I inhale deeply, letting out some steam. "So you said the vampires have brainwashed everyone?""Pretty much," His smile is dangerous, feral somehow. I repress the urge to shudder. This is my mate; he wouldn't hurt me. I repeat those words to calm myself, but it's not exactly working. Every brain cell is telling me the werewolf is dangerous.I try to slow my breathing, hoping it will steady my beating heart. "But if that's true... Then why aren't I brainwashed? How can I still notice things aren't like they used to be?"Blaze's smile sharpens. "You are th

Chapter 15 - Vampires Everywhere

JennaConfusion, fear, and sadness, I feel it all at once. Blood is dripping down on the ground and coloring Blaze’s skin red. The scene is making me nauseous. I hate blood, and yet, my hands move on their own. I remove my shirt and use the cloth to cover Blaze’s wound on his stomach until I notice it’s gone.What?!Dumbstruck, I stare at his stomach. Where there once was an open wound is now only blood. What the actual fuck? I frantically feel around his skin, convinced I might find his injury if I search hard enough.“But I could have sworn...?” I laugh at the bizarre situation, wrinkling my eyebrows as I try to make sense of what is happening.Blaze grabs my hand and keeps it still on his skin. I’m shaking as his eyes find mine. I can see uncertainty flickering within his honey-eyes and something resembling hope.“Do you think I’m a monster?” He asks in a pained voice. “As the al

Chapter 16 - The Origin Of Ariel

ArielMany years ago, my mate Erika died in my arms. Twinkling stars guided her home, and even though I didn’t want her to leave me, I believe her body needed to rest.After many years of battling cancer, her old age combined with her disease took her away from me. She died peacefully in her sleep and left me in tears. Losing her was like losing a piece of myself. For so many years, Erika had been with me that living without her felt like suddenly waking up one day and realizing you are in hell.Everything turned ugly, and I stopped seeing the beauty in the world. Suddenly I could no longer appreciate anything. The sun felt cold, and the earth turned dull. My eyes no longer sought the stars, and my soul withered away.My grief turned me bitter and mean until finally, it grew to a deep hatred for the woman I once loved. Erika and her damn spell, she didn’t bond our souls together; she cursed me!Wherever I went, I would see her; I would

Chapter 17 - To The Magical Realm

JennaWith Blaze lying on my couch, I'm shakingly drinking coffee while sitting on the floor. Hannah is sitting in my armchair while silently watching me with knowing eyes.I blush. I'm leaning against the side of Blaze's legs, unwilling to move away in case he would need me. Right now, his breaths are heavy as his body is recovering from the earlier battle.I clear my throat when Hannah smirks at me. "Eh, so, what happened at Starbucks?"Hannah's face darkens. "I ordered my usual vanilla latte, and as I was drinking it, this vampire gang throttled in like nothing and attacked a girl without no one batting their eye,"I stare at her. "What?!"Hannah crosses her arms with a horror-filled expression, brushing her hands against her arms as if calming herself. The memory is obviously haunting her. I almost feel bad for asking."Yeah," Hannah swallows thickly. "There are vampires everywhere. I don't know where they came from, but it feels

Chapter 18 - Hannah's Mate

HannahSeeing a dragon for the first time is nothing short of terrifying. The beast is larger than a bus, with glowing eyes and a mouth capable of swallowing me whole.I shudder uncontrollably and look at Jenna, gasping in shock when I spot her running up to the landing creature.The dragon is terrifying, easily dwarfing her. I would never approach such a creature. But Jenna spread her arms to hug the creature's muzzle.Has she lost her damn mind?She should run away from danger, not treat it like a dog!"You're here!" Jenna cuddles the oversized lizard, and it huffs in satisfaction at the received affection.Confusion loops my mind seeing the odd couple. It baffles me how the dragon doesn't seem interested in eating her. Instead, it seems to listen to her."Lie down," Jenna laughs when the creature does as it was told. "Good boy!"Jenna then turns around, motioning for me to come closer. Her hand is resting on the creat

Chapter 19 - Hannah's Mate Part 2

HannahThe atmosphere changes the moment I step into the woods. That earlier light gets replaced with darkness, beauty with horror.Right now, I'm walking through a nightmare, passing ghostly-looking trees. This isn't a place for a human, yet nothing can stop me from following that inner whisper of my heart.Determined, I lift the branch of a tree to enter a clearing. Blue flowers with an unnatural glow to them capture my eyes. They fill the entire clearing, spreading far and wide."Wow," I whisper, taken by the scene.The flowery beauty before me calms my speeding pulse. At first, I never expected to find anything pretty in the dark, but it seems there is beauty in even the darkest places.Affected to the brink of tears, I sit down in front of a flower. My fingertip touches the petals."My people call these flowers 'Lover's curse' if I remember correctly,"Startled by the sudden voice and thick accent, I twist my neck to searc

Chapter 20 - Alone With Ariel

JennaI can't stand Ariel! It doesn't matter that we are mates; the guy is unbelievable!"Did you sleep with your other mate... What was his name again... Blaze?"Ignoring my second mate, I keep walking straight ahead without giving him the time of day.I've never seen Ariel this angry before, but I'm not frightened. His bark is louder than his bite."Don't ignore me!" Ariel growls."No!" I throttle forward, over rocks and flowers, while Ariel follows me like a dog. "I didn't sleep with him! And if I did, why do you care?! Didn't you tell me to get to know my other mate?"Ariel catches up with me. "Sleeping with him is hardly what I meant!"Frustration takes over, and I sigh dramatically. Ariel looks good; his anger only adds to his charm. Yet I angle away from him, cursing his rolled-up sleeves and exposed muscles."I don't know what you want," I tell him. "Have you ever heard that song by Katy Perry called Hot N Cold?
