Forbidden night 1 - Celaes Děngwǒ (best thriller books to read TXT) 📗

The sky, was crying, for good reason I am sure...even I cry when I think of the events of this day...

The night was drowning on for way too long, and I was getting annoyed. Tonight was the night of the Forbidden. The one night where unknown creatures dressed in human flesh, would begin their dance of blood and passion. It just so happened that this night was also, the night I was brought into this sickening world, It was the night I would find my destiny or so it is rumored.

"However if I just keep the dogs out I won't be bitten, so I am-" My sentence ended there, it was like the world was saying "test me"

As I threw my head back, guzzling an orange soda, in my frustration I had closed my eyes, they would've stayed shut too, had it not been for the apparent coolness flowing down my cleavage, a result of my squeezing the blood out of the can. This result was the first dart thrown at me. The second dart appeared right after the first. Upset to be soaking in my favorite drink destroying my favorite purple nightdress, I stomped over to the kitchen, planning to take my anger out on the recycling bin.

My plans were interrupted though, when a chill found its way up my spine, causing me to scope out my surroundings. Wasn't too hard to spot the yellow spot on the white gown, there at my kitchen table as if they belonged there, sat a creature bearing the red eyes of my enemy, Xin Coran, a mixed last blood, bearing the dna of a human and omega. "Your stench is all over the place!" I growled channeling all of my anger into my words. "Ah, but if that was true, you should've noticed me earlier~"

I sigh slamming the empty can in the recycling bin "When did you get here?" He smiles his red eyes sparkling in the darkness "I escaped to the nearest house, which just so happened to be yours around the timing you were clawing the counter while drinking your past five cans of orange soda, enjoyed the sight so I didn't bother to announce my presence."

I scoffed reaching to grab another can "What sight do you speak of? I am fully dressed." He laughs getting up from the table "Did you think a simple piece of clothing would be able to cover every part of beauty you possess?" Somehow though I was the alpha, I felt strangely scared of the omega in front of me, as for such I slipped my hand into the pocket of my dress and fingered the blade, reassuring myself that I was safe, while he was blocking my path. During the timing I had let my guard down while trying to find something else to distract me from the panging in my chest, he had decided to subliminally embrace me, his arms stayed on both sides of me, capturing my body against the pantry. "What on earth are you talking about!? Did the madness already get to you?" His grin grows wider, his hands moving to cup my face pulling it upward to look at his "Oh no I am perfectly sane, I am simply talking about these eyelids enclosing your midnight blue eyes, they automatically draw men's glances to your almost blood like lips." His breath hitched as he recognized what he had just said "The madness is taking over, I have no intentions of participating in the night of the Forbidden, so if you don't want to die back up!"

He paid no heed to my petty threats, even as I closed my hand over the hilt of the blade, His face continued to grow nearer...

Until it was too close for comfort.

Mustering all of the strength I could, without giving in to the curse, I pulled out the steak knife and slashed at his throat. Immediately scarlet liquid begin dancing before my eyes, the body before me swaying side to side. It wasn't enough to kill! Effortlessly he had dodged my attack to his vitals only giving me room to feel slightly proud, because I had managed to scale a bit of flesh.

"You shouldn't have done that~" I look up from the pool of blood pouring down from his collar bone, despite the gash he seemed unfazed physically. Mentally however I could see he wasn't okay. "Pop quiz, My love~ What color is passion?" His eyes were burning orange now as he grabbed the hem of his white T shirt, lifting it to his lips and licking the blood off it, I was positive this was his way of attacking me, he continued to stare directly in my eyes as his tongue continued to lap at it.

"I think you have forgotten you hate me, when exactly did I become your love?!" I yell, annoyed at his sexual antics, trying to play on my hormones. Not bothering to wait for an answer I bolted out of his line of sight the minute he gave me room to, purposely knocking his sanity leaving body out of the way, I dared not look back, sadly the night was starting to effect me or it was his pheromones...either way something was pulsating through my blood.

This had been the first time I felt so weird, my legs were slowly growing weak, they were fairly close to collapsing underneath me, the only thing that kept them from doing so, was the fact that I knew Xin wasn't one to let his prey get away when he was in the mood to hunt, as I said before I absolutely did not want to partake in this blood calling trap. I continued up the stairs faintly aware of my body's heat rising, a sign that I was about to have my very first awakening.

The oxygen making its way into my lungs suddenly wasn't enough, I scrambled to take in the air that I could, but I was far too greedy, leaving me only enough vigor to wheeze. I had no strength left to walk. "You're Okay Ulai." I managed to say, it didn't help much in the energy area, but it was the perfect amount to get me to my knees, I crawled the rest of the way to my bedroom. Not a second later, before I found myself nearly collapsing on my rug "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The eerie sounds of my cream wall getting vandalized by Xin's claws could be heard behind me.

I had kept an unreasonable amount of faith in my status as an alpha, and this, would prove to be my undoing. "Point" huff "Point taken, never...underestimate...an omega..." I barely managed to edge my way to the door and close it with my foot. Before the heat begin to singe a part of my sanity. "I am not going to lose myself here"

"Ulai darling~ Let me in". Thankfully he didn't try the knob, sighing I prop myself up on the door using myself as a lock "Not by the hair of my chimney's chin Xin!" It was unspeakable, how much the scent of him calmed my panicking heart, perhaps I was scared...of not him, but myself...

"That line belongs to pigs, did the madness make you forget that you're a wolf?" He chuckled, implanting within my mind that I could forget momentarily the situation I was in, very gradually I begin to play with the thought that we could be something more friendlier then enemies. "You really think an alpha would forget their place?" HAH "No I did not forget I was a wolf I just wanted to ease some of my pain with a joke..." The words fell from my lips before I could stop them...seems I was going to regret this moment.

"You're in pain? Why I didn't sink my teeth into you yet~"

"Really Xin? Can't you just leave me for tonight this won't be a fair duel if you continue..." he clicked his tongue "If that was supposed to persuade me, that's not going to work."

"So you would rather-" Boom! A loud bang ricocheted into my ears, because of how close it was I was sure he slammed something into the wall, another sigh escaped.

"I- I am sorry Ulai, I didn't mean to- to say that, momentarily I mistook myself."

"Which one are you sorry for? My wall downstairs? or the one near my room?" He goes silent, only the steady beating of his blood on my marble flooring answered me back. "Neither? I see, well then how about appearing in my house when you knew we'd both go insane tonight?" Again I was met with silence "So you're not sorry?"

"Honestly I am, but only for certain things, but that's not what I became sober for." The pressure on the door became heavier, as he leaned on it. "Ulai, I know what's happening and I know that it's very dangerous for me to be near you..." He sighs crouching down to the keyhole "I am sure you feel unsafe with me being here, but open the door so I can help you." I considered his proposition and weighed the cons and the pros "My answer is still the same as before I will not open this door, I have gotten used to the pain, so you can leave."

The winner of the deepest sigh of the night went to Xin, It vibrated all the way through the floorboards underneath me, making them groan while he returned to his normal stance "I was trying to be nice, but I guess that was never an option." His tone of voice changed to the one he had before, deep, groggy and stimulating.

My body begin to tingle and small pricks travelled up my leg "W-what on earth did the m-m-moon persuade you to do?!" I felt hot, far hotter than I was before, it was like I was melting and yet...it felt so good. "I may be an Omega, but my powers of an ancient wolf still remain strong, even an Alpha like you won't be able to resist~" His footsteps became faint to my hearing, I knew he was up to something, but I had no desire to stop him, all that reverberated in my mind was "I want him!" It was a voice that wasn't mine "Y-you stupid OMEGA!" I raged, realizing my body was starting to disobey me, the pain was now nonexistent, more than likely because I now had absolutely no control. Another flirty laugh lands in my ears cutting off the strength and will I had left, Currently I had been digging my claws into the rug to stop my body from opening the door, but I had done this in vain, the moment he had laughed I found myself being pushed out , The real owner taking the commander seat.

She gracefully got to her feet, checking herself out in the mirror near the light switch, satisfied with the way she looked, she turns the knob, giving him room to enter "There you are~" The moment the door was slightly cracked Xin made his way in, his hands quickly finding their way around my throat "I knew you would do this!" I spat mentally watching myself match his facial expression, my lips curled into a mad grin, while he pulled my face closer to his burning irises. "You've come out at last, was it just to meet me?~" He pushed us into the room, lightly crushing my windpipe while closing the door. "N-no I didn't m-my body moved on its own." My smile faltered for an unknown reason, but I was happy to at least be able to speak of my own accord, this offset his thinking, "I was sure you would've been consumed by now?" He let go of my throat and thankfully I
