Advica POV
"I started by the last one. I killed a whole vampire clan." I looked straight into his eyes, bracing myself for his reaction. I mentally locked my heart in an iron chest, expecting his repulsion and eventually his rejection.Deep down, I know that I didn't do anything wrong. But somehow I felt guilty. Telling the acting head enforcer that murdered an entire clan sounded wrong. It sounded like a crime confession. I sounded like a criminal.But nothing! He didn't react at all. His eyes were staring at mine with a blank expression. He nodded his head slightly, urging me to continue my story. It's in these precise moments that I wish I had some of the supernatural gifts. I wish I could hear how fast his heart was beating right now."I don't know from where to start?" I muttered, feeling intimidated by his lack of reaction to my confession."How about from the very start." His voice took an encouraging tone.There was nothing I could do about it nRelated chapters

Reymond POV"Oh!! Then you're in so much trouble!!" She smirked beautifully. How can she smirk and look this breathtaking?"Why?" I raised a brow, looking deeper into her obsidian eyes. They were talking to me again, and they were silently promising me more trouble."Do you know how many overprotective brothers I have? And if my guess is right, half of them are already on their way here. They are coming for you, big wolf." My body froze and my jaw dropped at her proud announcement. Soon, her laughter filled the cold garden, warming my heart in the process.I decided to ignore the perturbing piece of information my mate decided to casually throw my way. I decided to concentrate on her lighter mood and make sure that it stays till the end of our improv

Advica POVThe car ride was long but pleasant. But very very long. Sitting still for so long was never the easiest task for me. The only positive part of this ride was sitting next to Reymond in the back seats. The Lycan and his mate were sitting in the front, whispering and smiling, not paying any attention to the two of us.We had to leave in a hurry the moment we received the first SMS instructing the kidnappers to wrap the merchandise and prepare the delivery. They gave them a vague location to head toward until they send a second SMS with the exact place and time for the exchange. We all agreed on a plan and all that was left was to reach our destination. But it was taking sooooo long.Reymond, as usual, found a way to have me glued to his side. He kept showing me blueprints or sate

Reymond POVWhen Advica said that I was in trouble, she literally meant it. These vampires she calls brothers were pure trouble. Especially the twin from hell. They were extra invested in giving me a hard time. While the other one didn't bother with me but spent his time trying to convince Advica that she deserved better. They were trouble and I had no time to deal with Troubles.The twin's childish pranks were bearable to a certain degree. They started their game by inflicting all the possible physical pain they could without getting caught. Theyaccidentallybroke a couple of fingers while shaking my hand just to apologize afterward, implicitly insulting my strength. They also accidentally ripped my clothes with their claws, blaming

Advica POV I didn't need a super hearing to recognize the sound of a muffled fire gun and a body hitting the ground. It all happened all too fast. One moment the rogue was muttering curses at himself while opening his door then he was gone. Next thing I know, two men moving us one by one from one vehicle to another. Their movements were mechanical and precise. They didn't utter a single word during the whole ordeal. I was the only one placed on the truck floor, despite the few free sort of compartments on both sides. It took me a couple of seconds to realize that we were actually sorted by our species. Wolves on one side and vampires on the other. It wasn't that hard to differentiate between werewolves and vampires when one knew what to look for. I on the other hand was either recogni

Reymond POVThe wait was killing me. I had no idea what was going on behind those stupid walls. All I wanted to do was jump over the electrified fence and run to my Advica. But I couldn't. We were fully aware of their security system. It wasn't that hard to figure it out. We could easily hack it and shut it down, but, again, we couldn't. Not when we knew that they had a panic button too.This panic button is meant to send a distress signal to a specific destination along with a copy of their hard drive before destroying it. It could be to some people or to a safe site. It's a security system created especially to save sensitive data from being stolen. And so hard to hack. We could do it. I could do it, but it would take hours if not days to hack it. Precious time we didn't have at the moment.

Advica POVThe atrocities and Horrors I was listening to were too stunning for me. Even after living so long with the rogue vampire clan, and then moving to Leo's clan and training with his army, the lab coat guy managed to shock me with his tales. How could anyone have the heart to do this without any kind of remorse?The rogue vampire clan enjoyed torturing and giving painful death to the captured human, but it was in the name of feeding and training their young ones. Leo's cruelty was known widely, but it was never done without a valid reason. But this..... This was insane. How could they kidnap innocent werewolves and vampires, experiment on them, dissect them and let them die in the worst way ever? And for what?The man in front of me had no remorse whatsoever about what they've been doing for months. But what baffles me the most is the project they're working on. I could've understood if it was in the name of saving the decaying planet, to

Reymond POV The first rays of sunshine brushed against my mate's golden skin. She rested her head on my lap, hugging one of my knees. I dared to look behind me as the cars drifted farther and farther from the damned facility. The large dark smoke column was still visible in the clear sky even after driving this far. The twins from hell were sitting behind us. But they didn't dare utter a single word since we got in the car. It wasn't just about not disturbing Advica who was drained after everything she discovered and all the blood taken from her. It had mainly something to do with the state we found the kidnapped ones in. We might have seen a lot of atrocities in our lives, but the sight of our sisters and brothers trapped and strapped inside those cages would always be engraved in our minds

Rey's POVThe train stopped at the station, and the passengers started their dance routine, taking synchronized turns getting in and out. My eyes were closed, but I was fully aware of every single movement around me. Two more stops and I'll be out of this stinky metal box. I hated city missions, and I always did my best to finish them as soon as possible, even if I had to skip sleeping.My mind was drafting the report I was due to write once I reach the headquarters when suddenly, my heart started beating fast, and my hands became clammy. I felt a heavyweight press against my chest, making it hard to breathe. My eyes snapped open, roaming the car full of strangers, looking for the source of this intense pressure. When I didn't find it on the train, my eye looked outside my window, and I found it.
