~Rylee~"You can punish me all you want, but I don't want to move!" Rose was upset because Dad wanted to move us to a new school."It's all for your own good! Can you imagine if the other students knew you were a werewolf? They could do worse than what Sonya did to you!" I could feel the strong emotion in Dad's tone.I admired Dad. Even though Rose always fought back, he never lost control. Ricky once told me that his father was very cruel. His father once beat him so badly that he broke a bone just because he came home late.Sometimes, Dad should act like Ricky's father when dealing with Rose because Rose's behavior is sometimes out of line. "I won't do that! You don't know how hard it is for me to adjust to a new environment. It's fine if you want to hide who you are from the world, but don't force your ego on me!"Rose's face was slapped hard."Ace!" Mom exclaimed after the slap.I was surprised. I had just imagined that Dad was going to be harder on Rose, and that was what really
~Rylee~Collin was a popular student. All the girls adored him except Rose—at least, I thought so all the time. Rose was never close to a boy. Even Ricky said he had fallen in love with her several times, but Rose had never responded. However, Ricky was pretty good-looking and played on the school basketball team. Isn't that cool?I did not want to care about Collin. I had tried to tell myself that the Rose Collin mentioned was not my sister. But curiosity gripped my heart until I decided to find out more about Collin.That day, I had to lie to my father. I said I had an extra practice before the basketball game, even though I was deliberately taking the time to stalk Collin. I got a lot of information on the Adams family but didn't find what I was looking for.Since breaking up with Naomi, I haven't heard that Collin was involved with another girl. I don't know if it's because I'm out of the loop or if he's not close to any girls, but Rose was nowhere on the list of girls Collin might
~Rylee~What is wrong with the Adams family? I thought it was a harmonious family. In his speeches at school functions, Mr. Adams often expressed his pride in his family. He seemed to love his wife and children very much. However, what I heard and saw a while ago contradicted the image that Mr. Adams had built up. What was going on? Why was Collin so unhappy when I spoke with his father?When I got home, I saw Dad fixing the car. I went over to see what he was doing."What are you fixing?" I asked, which startled Dad into dropping the screwdriver. Then I said, "Sorry."Dad sighed, bent down, and picked up the screwdriver. "I didn't see you coming," he said."Because you were too focused on your car," I replied.Dad moistened his lips and shrugged. "There's a little problem with the engine." I applauded him for trying his best, even though I knew Dad was no expert on car engines. Eventually, though, he called his regular mechanic. "Hey, how was your practice?" Dad asked."Good," I rep
~Victoria~I squirmed as the light fell on my face. I hadn’t slept this well for the last five months. To be precise, since that horrible night in my life, the night my parents were killed in a tragic robbery, nightmares have haunted me every single night. I woke up gasping for breath and sweating all over my body. However, my sleep this time felt so different. The fragrance that wafted in made me even lazier to open my eyes. It reminded me of the sandalwood-scented room I missed so much.My eyes quickly opened as I felt something strange. My gaze was directed towards the thick blanket I held—a soft purple. And I realized all of this was wrong. So, I immediately got up and turned my head around.“Where is it?” I muttered while wandering my gaze.A spacious room with a comfy bed and soft bed sheets. There was no creaking in the bed. There were no porous wooden cabinets. This was not my bedroom. This room was even fancier than the one in my parents’ house.But how did I end up in this pl
I took a deep breath as I mustered up the courage. Tears won't bring back my virginity. So, I had to do something to make him regret taking my precious possession and even curse what he had done to me. I slowly moved my body, changing my sleeping position to supine, then turned to the man lying on my side while closing his eyes. "How desperate are you that the Moon Goddess did not bring you to your mate, so you had to fuck a half-breed werewolf like me to satisfy your lust?" I said, confronting my cruel Alpha. Ace quickly opened his eyes. He turned to me with a hardened jaw and a darkened glare. “You!” It was no secret that Alpha Ace Cassilas had yet to find his mate. There was not a single female werewolf he claimed as a mate. He was Alpha without Luna. I assumed he's been masking his loneliness by taking advantage of the slutty girls who adore him. Someone once told me that Ace Cassilas considered half-breed werewolves to be the most despicable creatures who did not deserve to b
He stood before me, looking at me with some emotion. I could feel the anger, but I tried to remain calm. His sunken eyes glared at me. I didn't think for a second about looking away. I met that gaze squarely in both eyes. I wouldn't let him see the weakness in me. "Such an unexpected fate, isn't it?" My sarcastic voice broke the tension-filled silence between us. Ace shook his head while thinning his lips. I thought we felt the same way. I didn't expect this bastard to be my mate, either. The Moon Goddess seemed unsatisfied with all my suffering, so she chose a mate as bastardly as Ace Cassilas for me. At first, I thought Ace would say something cruel or reject me. But I was wrong. Not a single word was uttered from his lips in response to my comment. Instead, he turned around and left without saying a word. My legs went limp as soon as Ace was out of sight. Trembling, my body slumped slowly to the cold floor. My tears broke out, and I could not pretend to be as strong as I was whe
~Ace~ "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" One last punch and the punching bag slammed hard into the wall for the second time. My blood was pumping fast. My lungs burned. I forgot how long I've been here, beating the bag with emotion but never being satisfied. I untied the hand wraps from my hands while catching my breath. "This isn't going to work." Something inside me refused to get the image of that damn girl out of my brain. Yes, it was all because of that damn half-breed girl. I couldn't understand. After all this time, why would the Moon Goddess give me such a disgusting fate? Of all the female werewolves in Nightfall City, why did it have to be her? I grabbed a small towel to wipe off my face and neck, covered in sweat. Underneath my breath, I could still feel her scent. Damn it! She was like poison fused with air. Her scent filled my airways, suffocating me so tightly. It felt like it wanted to make me die of lust. "Get my car in gear!" I ordered as I threw a towel at Ben. Benjamin Fost
"Roberto Martinez." My eyes fell on the figure in the photo Ben had pointed to. "He lives in the southern district's elite neighborhood with his wife and two daughters. Founder of the educational foundation Moon School of Design. A family man. Nothing is interesting about him besides sharing the same hobby as Jared Waltz. Roberto Martinez is an antique collector," said Ben. "Is he one of our kind?" I asked. Ben shook his head. "Nope. He's human." He moved another photo. "Look at this!" My eyes narrowed, watching the photo closely. The man named Roberto appeared to be handing something to Jared. It needed to be more clear what the object was in his hand. Something like a wooden box. Maybe it was an antique, like Ben said. "I think they're just doing an antique deal," Ben said. "Can you find out what's in that box?" I turned to Ben. "I've already missed out once, Ben. I won't let it happen again," I said. Two million dollars was no small sum. Jared Waltz had cost me a lot because
