The door dinged open. Daryn pulled away from her very slowly. His face was red and she was panting with her heart pounding insanely. Satisfied, Daryn stepped out of the elevator in a cool and calm manner while she was left inside wanting for more with a numb mind. He held her hand and pulled her outside. She somehow managed to walk along with him because her mind had exploded and scattered inside the private elevator of The Silver House. Reyna watched the two of them walking towards her while holding…-

Daryn said softly, "Don't be darling." They lied beside each other, quiet and in their own thoughts. There was a lot of information for Dawn to process. Daryn knew that as a neotide, it wouldn't be easy for Dawn. If she were a pure blood, all the customs would have been ingrained in her from childhood. For the pure bloods, this was a natural way of living. They were exposed to them from a young age. But neotides – they were an outcast. Infected. However, if she was willing to open up, then he was…

But Daryn's mind was restless. He couldn't let it slide. He had to avenge what Maya did to Dawn. And that need to take revenge prickled beneath his skin. It scratched his soul like a wound. There was no pity in his mind. The flames of revenge burned hot and unless he took an action, they would only ashen his soul. His inner peace was shattered the day Maya ordered Dawn's killing. He would have taken her down, but she had garnered too many deceptions, too many lies around him like a spider. It was time that…

Fed up, Dawn wanted him to take her away from there, claim her, be there only for her. When she pulled herself away, she found his black smoldering eyes peeking under those thick eyebrows. He was the most beautiful person she had ever seen. Her mate. Her lover. Big, strong, hers. And if he accepted her, she would love to be his forever. He held her at the small of her back and guided her out of the hall, devouring her with his eyes. The guests started leaving the hall. It was such a high charged up…

Some of the guests who got tired of the drama started to leave. Amongst them were Pia and Caleb too. Daryn's facial expressions darkened. He stepped forward but Dawn stopped him. She wanted him to continue speaking to know what he had in mind. A growl left Daryn. He wanted to smother his face. Jason continued, "You guys thought that I wouldn't take it back? I have been keeping a tab on it for a long time. Why do you think that good-for-nothing game was floated on the Internet a month back when you…

However, as soon as Maya smashed the recorder, another one started playing from someplace else. She flung her head in shock to find the source. All at once, Pia interjected, "This is utter nonsense. Maya was extremely depressed because of Dawn. We all read her interview in the magazine. Why would a magazine publish an interview like that unless it was true?" Caleb supported her. He snarled, "Yes! Maya was depressed because of this neotide." He pointed at dawn. Even though Gayle had warned Caleb…

Dawn was feeling heavy. She stopped breathing. These people were writing her life and she didn't even know about it. Azura kept her in the dark. So many conspiracies swirled around her. Her knees were wobbly. Avarice and selfishness had driven these hungry wolves to a derogatory level. Niall patted the wooden bench on the side and said, "Sit down Dawn. You are going to need all your courage." When Dawn didn't budge from her place Niall shrugged and twisted her mouth. "Your wish." She sipped more of…

Dawn held her head high. She had to stand up with Daryn's decision. She glanced around and saw that at the end of the hall Azura was standing, sipping wine along with Jason and— Her heartbeat accelerated when she saw that Jason was holding the hands of a girl who looked familiar. Refusing to believe what she just saw, she stared at them again and then her eyes met with Niall's—the girl who had been her nemesis, the girl who didn't leave a stone unturned to make her life miserable back in the…

"We have to be there for the party by 8PM," Daryn said. "I would still suggest that you don't go." She smiled. "I will be ready in an hour." Daryn ruffled her hair. "In that case, wait a minute." He rushed upstairs and when he came, he was carrying a large white box with pink ribbon tied around it. "What is it?" she asked when he gave the box to her. "Your dress for the evening." When did he find time to buy a dress for her? She gasped. She wanted to protest, but he stopped her, "Please wear…

Daryn ended the call without saying anything. Dawn grabbed his hand and caressed it. "What was it about?" "Nothing," he said and looked pensively at the ocean. They walked to the beach as a cool breeze slapped their faces and ruffled their hair. Dawn removed her flip-flops and picked in her hands. They walked near the water. There was no one except them. Flag posts marked the property, as far as the eyes could see. A small pergola was built on the right. Across the road, on the other side was a…
