Rey's POV
"So, what did you do?" The duke asked Luca after a couple of hours of running through the woods. The Vampire made us run in our human form under the pretext of needing to communicate with us. But the truth is the man was simply being spiteful.
"What are you talking about?" Luca was in a mood too and was running his frustration out.
"I'm talking about the kind lady back there. Who was nice and sweet to everyone except her mate. So again, what did you do to piss her off?". He repeated his question with a smirk, earning a low growl from Luca.
"Nothing!" He spat, running faster, but it was not hard for the duke to match his pace. I sighed running faster and barely reaching them.

Advica's POV I woke up with a start. With a series of sneezes, to be more precise. I did it again. I fell asleep in the bathtub. I lost count of the number of times it happened before. It's always hard not to drift into dreamland when I'm wrapped in hot scented water. I almost drowned a couple of times, and Boris had always joked about how lame that would look on my death certificate. Cause of death: Female fell asleep and drowned in her bathtub. The boys even came up with a list of possible death causes. I found out about it by pure coincidence a few years ago. I was going through their stuff for one of our usual pranks when I found the list. At first, I was shocked by the large amount of money they put into their stupid bet, but soon the shock was replaced with astonishment by their wild imagination.

Rey's POV"Let them rest, just enough to heal. They don't deserve death yet. I want them both to pay slowly and painfully for what they did to Vivy and all the others they took away. I'm sure Boris would love to have a moment with them too." Duke Anetti spat before leaving the cells. Luca nodded at me, approving his request.I agreed with them too. They needed to suffer for all the things they did. Ther were traitors to their kinds. I'll probably come back to have a go at them too, especially the wolf who took special pleasure hitting and abusing my mate, but not now. I can't do it later. We had bigger things to deal with now. Urgent and frightening matters to face first.With everything we just discovered a few hours ago, I had no time for revenge. I'll do it later when everything is dealt with. Besides, facing the duke and Luca was already a satisfying punishment, a very satisfying first punishment. I snickered, looking at their mangled limbs and disfigured faces. I

Advica POV "Go back to sleep princess," A soft kiss on my forehead and a gentle stroke to my head were all I needed to fall back into sleep. A nightmare-filled sleep. The kind I always have every time I ingest Leo's blood. I was barefoot like usual, walking through the dark and humid basement. The soft moonlight filtering through the broken windows was all I needed to navigate between the piles of trash and dirt on the ground. My once upon a time soft feet soles were now calloused and thickened. My little body was accustomed to the cold and no longer shivered in the rags I was wearing. My tangled hair was a bit heavy on my head. Bird nest, that's how my mother loved to call it. She even laughed, telling me that it nestled many other creatures.
THE PROTÉGÉ 11
Rey's POVWhat did I ever do to deserve a mate like her? I thought to myself as I watched her sitting regally in front of the rogue. She insisted on facing the filth alone. Of course, I was opposed to the idea, and I even stomped my foot a couple of times. But that only earned me a giggle and a 'you're cute' comment from my mate before she entered the interrogation room."Hello again, wolfy. How's life treating you?" She rested one leg over the other and leaned back on her chair. The rogue snarled at her, obviously not as amused by her confidence as I was. He tugged on the tight silver restraints holding his hands on the metallic table. I tensed, taking a step closer to the two-way mirror."Chill, enforcer Wilson! She knows what she's doing." Lord Boris said with an eye roll. "She is one of the duke's most trusted lieutenants.""Still can't get my head around the idea?" I whispered, still entranced by the sight of my mate. She looked beautiful, sitting there despite

Advica's POVI left the interrogation room and the poor excuse of a man in a hurry. I was so thankful that he caved in in less than an hour. Being good at this kind of thing didn't mean that I liked doing it. I was speaking the truth when I said that I was a 'peace and Love' person and that I didn't like spilling blood uselessly.Ironic, I know. How can I be like this when I'm a vampire's protégé and one of Leo's lieutenants? It did bother me for a while, for a long time. I couldn't make sense of certain things. And when it happens, I kind of freeze out. Boris got worried at the end, and it took him a lot of time to convince me that things didn't have to make sense. What is important is that things work out for me as they are."Advica," My name never sounded this nice. I cl

Reymond POVOne thing was sure. I did have a lot of questions for my mate. There were so many things I was curious about, and I intend to get every single answer from her. The fact that she was almost skipping while holding my hand was a good sign. She knew what was coming, and she didn't look scared or disturbed.I led her to the small garden behind the royal library. I chose this garden because it had a gazebo with a small firepit, and it witnessed light traffic this time of the year. I wanted Advica to feel as comfortable as possible. I pulled a woolen blanket that I laid on the floor close to the already lit fire."Wow! This place is beautiful." She smiled, sitting down with one leg bent under her, eyes roaming around. "How come no one is around?""Because the acting head enforcer reserved the place." I winked at her, taking out our lunch. She laughed, accepting her two sandwiches. She waited until I unwrapped mine before taking the first bite. Her knees were bouncin

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 n

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
