I thought Derek was bluffing when he said she was strong enough to handle three men simultaneously, but when she landed a swift back kick towards my neck, my elbow almost went numb from the pain.
I slid back and smirked.
She's fast. If I had reacted a little slower, then it'd be the end of me.
"Want to kick my head off? Not happening. Though you are strong, you're not strong enough to overpower a man's strength."
"Hah." She snorts. "That's a bit sexist, don't you think?"
She tried to lunge at me for the second time, but since I already expected her to move, I swiftly dodged all her attempts to knock me down. Her pace was speeding up, but it wasn't a problem to me.
Not until she jabbed a broken glass to my side.
My eyes opened. "Ugh! You bitch-"
When she attempted another back kick, I grabbed her ankle and threw her to the wall.
I huffed. I glanced at my wound and noticed that it wasn't healing.
When did she grab that glass? The broken glass shards were on the opposite side of the room. There was no way she could've picked it up while we were exchanging blows.
Did she hide it in her body? And why the fuck is my wound not healing? Did she cast some spell?
My eyes shot towards the broken wood that shattered around her. Even with the amount of strength I pulled to knock her out, she was still able to stand up with a blank expression.
She snaps her neck slightly, "Well, that hurt."
I growled. "What did you do to me?"
"Oh, that?" She smirks as she kicks the wood beside her. "That's a secret."
"A secret? Do you know what you smell like now? You smell like a witch and a werewolf combined. Unlike at the festival where you fooled two alphas at the same time."
"You.. know I'm a half-witch?" Her eyes grew. She took a few steps back and whispered to herself. "How is that possible? Is that why Alpha Derek was acting weird?"
I already suspected that she cast a spell on my blood, so she'll undoubtedly be affected if I get my blood on her system.
Using that moment to move, I pushed her aggressively against the wall and used the shard that she used against me to pierce her through the same place.
Her breath hitched in pain as I pinned her wrists above her, then I slowly leaned on her ear. "Tick-tock, Little witch, if you don't undo that spell, we'll both bleed here to death."
She looks at me with a blank expression, "I hate clever people like you, it hasn't even been an hour, and you already know the magic trick?"
Only until now that I notice that both her contacts had fallen off, Her purple eyes stared back into mine, and it somehow irritated me how this half-witch made me somehow attracted to her.
It would be a waste to kill her, wouldn't it?
I grinned. "What reward do I get for exposing the magician?"
The atmosphere around us changed all of a sudden. I wasn't showing hostility anymore, and she just stared at me with a confused face.
She raises an eyebrow. "Aren't you going to slice my neck? Though we're both bleeding to death here, you still had the energy to pin me on the wall."
"Killing you would be a waste. I hadn't had fun like this for a while now."
"You've got some serious, weird kink dude, don't tell me you're flirting with a spy who just tried to kill your friend?"
"I mean, aren't we both dying anyway? Might as well wait who bleeds to death first?" I smiled.
She groans heavily before i feel the restraints on my body getting lighter. I glanced at my wound site and noticed it healing.
I locked eyes with her again. This time, I was close enough that it would only take her to move slightly to kiss her directly.
"That's odd. You don't look like the type to care about death."
"Of course, dying with a psychopath like you wouldn't be how I pictured my last day. And can you please move away? you're too close!"
"You don't want to fight me anymore?"
"Fight you? Then what? so I can tire myself out?"
Hah. She's smart enough to back down. She can even tell i won't try to hurt her anymore. i must've pulled back my hostility far back.
"You're really interesting," I caressed her cheek, "A pet like you would surely entertain me every day."
She spits on my face.
I chuckled bitterly as I wiped her saliva off my face, "Really, you could've just told me if you wanted to exchange saliva with me?"
"You sick bastard-"
I didn't give her the chance to finish and pulled her neck to kiss me, I placed my tongue inside hers while she froze in shock. She looked clueless, yet her body was reacting perfectly to mine.
But something felt wrong. I was gradually losing energy as I went on with the kiss.
I pulled away, "You're kissing me back?"
"What did you do?" She says out of breath, her eyes on my lips. "It felt amazing. My whole body feels good. Don't stop. Keep going."
What?
My eyes widened when she tentatively kissed me once again. My grip on her loosened, and she used that chance to push me down the bed.
Her eyes were glowing purple, and she was acting differently from a while ago.
"More, I want more." She says in a hungry tone, her eyes focused on my lips.
"What's gotten into you-"
I lost my senses when I felt her hands on top of my abdomen. Something was wrong, I was losing control of the situation while she sucked the energy out of me.
Every place she puts her lips made my body weakened, I tried dominating her, but since I was out of energy, she easily pushed me down again.
"I don't know what's this feeling, I never thought intimacy would feel this good. You can't even move." She smirks. "Looks like i just discovered another ability."
Ability?
"Don't worry, I'm just sucking your energy, not your life span. If I knew this was possible, then i would've just seduced you to get out of here. I'm thankful, really. Your kiss wasn't so bad after all."
I grinned, "Baby, you can suck my energy out, but don't you ever think you can get out of here."
"You can't even move. Dare to threaten me?"
"I can chase you then baby, I would definitely get my energy back if you run now. but don't blame me for being merciless if I catch you." I growled playfully.
Though I can't move, for now, I knew that her ability to weaken me has its limits. I have endless stamina. Even if she drains my energy, I will get back on my feet in no time.
I was in a dangerous position, but all i could think about is how I couldn't let her go now, not when I was seriously starting to get addicted.
She looks down at me.
"Hmm? I think you're mistaken. Do you not even realize your position right now? I'll suck you dry until you get knocked out. Let's see if you can wake up and chase me then?" She smirks.
"Suck me dry?" My eyes widened. "Do you mean-"
She leans down, trailing her finger slowly towards my bottom part. My breath hitched in excitement when she faced my manhood.
"This is your most sensitive part, isn't it? i want to see the limits of my ability." She says in a low voice.
I groaned in impatience.
*VENUS's POV*It was weird, really. The moment when he kissed me, I felt a sudden surge of energy enter my body. I've watched people do these intimate things to their partner but being in the exact position as them now, i never thought it would feel this good, though it was only me who had this ability to suck out energy from others.I could already tell that this ability was related to me being a half-witch.Since I noticed that I get more energy when I touch some of his sensitive spots, I randomly decided to get nasty. I told him I'd suck him dry, but I don't precisely know-how.I pulled down his pants, and his dick sprung up.I glanced at him and noticed how fl
*DEREK's POV*In the far area behind the arena, I was busy inspecting the competitors that came in. Carefully, I observed any movements that may look suspicious. And so far, none of them have surfaced yet.It was just last night that an assassin tried to kill me again, but this time- she was my mate. It was that fact that made everything complicated. Even when they searched for her until dawn, she just completely disappeared.I closed my eyes in frustration. I can still remember how vague the connection felt through my bones.It's more potent than I thought."Alpha," Easton calls out."Easton, did you get enough information?""You mean?""Venus, the competitor.""Yes, Alpha. From what we gathered, Venus is indeed one of the SunDale's wolves. Her original profile coincides with what she wrote in the registration form. Though she is the right henchman on Alpha Shaka, she's strangely absent in every impo
The queries didn't last long. Although some guys tried fighting their way out, everything eventually played out when Alpha Derek appeared in front of the crowd. No one was able to complain anymore at that point.His dominating alpha aura was enough to make everyone silent. He didn't even need to speak to shut the noisy ones. But before he left, he sent me one last glare that made me somehow smile.At least he's not ignoring me that much?Facing the notorious Arndon Woods, everyone around me was nervous or worried about their lives. I saw some weird dudes getting excited- while here I am bored as hell.I groaned. "Just when will this start?""Hey, shortie."I turned at the voice behind me and saw a tall guy with blonde hair staring at me with an amused expression. And because I was a great actress, I immediately smiled upon locking eyes with him."Me? Shortie? I'm 5'6.""Well, I'm 6'2, so you're short on my perspective."
He moved me up to the highest tree that he could find and settled there. Strangely, the spider was also out of my tail.I glanced at his mask.The only problem left was to deal with Alpha Derek, who was wearing a mask and dark casual clothes that made his muscles pop.Or maybe I am the dangerous one here?When he carefully placed me down, I took that moment to wrap my arms around his neck. His eyes widened, and I felt his body stiffen in shock."Let go of me." He says in a low voice.At that moment, I realized that it was the perfect chance to use my ability to make him submit to me. Yet all hopes got lost when I couldn't suck a single grain of energy from his body.Is my ability not working on him?I bit my lower lip in irritation, "Why is my luck worst whenever it's you?""Get away from me, or I'll throw you from this height." He threatens."Do it then. Who's the idiot who'll save a person than kill them later o
* SHAKA's POV*"Alpha, did you really let her go just like that?" Ryan asks, his forehead knitted in worry.It's only been a few hours since she escaped us, Ryan just woke up from consciousness, yet he still had the energy to barge in here to ask for her wellbeing. He still wore hospital clothes, his chest rising up and down from exhaustion.It looks like you made a good friend, Venus.I shook my head in vain, "Let her go? You don't get to choose to set her free. If Venus wants to go, you know no one can stop her.""What? Then why did you have to go all the trouble to scold her?"I sighed.
~*~*~**VENUS's POV*Alpha Derek's reaction was a bit confusing on my part. I can't fathom why he won't respond to my advances when werewolves usually bite back as soon as they get tempted like that.I need to ask someone why my ability isn't working on him.After he had left, I had no choice but to continue the journey alone. As I traveled from place to place, tracking the scent of the end, I immediately stopped when I noticed how suspiciously quiet the forest had been."That's weird.."It's been miles, and I haven't seen any creatures? Yet I only continued to be wary until I saw a track of dead monsters. The trail reached so far that my eyes couldn't see how far it went.Wow, I didn't know someone this strong was among the participants, though they could be a group- it tells me a single person did it since the wound marks were left on the same places on each dead body.I scrunched my nose, "Just wha
~*~*~DEREK's POVI stayed at the base camp, to my office to see what was happening.Since there were surveillance orbs all around the forest, and it was only me who could see everything. I saw everything that happened when Venus and Seff continued to fight for no reason.If only it had a sound function.Seff was on complete defense while Venus fought to kill. It wasn't entertaining since my chest felt heavy while Seff threw her off the tree. Of course, it didn't end there. Their little duel finally ends when she finally thinks she killed him by stabbing his heart, and she gets out of the portal.If only she knew that his heart was no longer in the center of his chest. Not that she should know either, since I am the sole person who knows that fact.I sighed. "Just what is that idiot doing?"Thankfully, I knew this would happen, so I sent Easton to fetch Seff at the gate. Knowing him, he's probably out of the forest now.
As soon as I entered the mist, everything around me completely dispersed. The screams of fear of other participants were no longer there, only silence that started to make me wary.When I looked at my hand, it blurred. A sign that the illusion was starting, which was something I was prepared to face from the moment I stepped in.The scenery around me started to change- it was the place that I grew up with as a child, with my parents.["Venus.."]I turned to the voice, but there wasn't anyone."Hello?"Again, it called me. But when I looked in that direction. There was no one. It didn't bother me that I couldn't see anyone, but it was from a voice that I
