Chapter: Chapter eleven The letter was handed to him by one of his men with the elbelm on it—un lobo. A wolf.Mateo's brows raised, his line like eyes even smaller. A black envelope with the figure of a golden wolf. Everyone knew what that stood for —The Requiem.He took a breath in, tossing the letter on the table. His hands ran through his ebony hair, his lips parted, his teeth nibbling on his lower lip.At the mention of the Requiem, the image of his bride played in his head. How her soft cleavage pressed against the blue cups of her gown, how dark and sexy her eyes looked...She was a territory he couldn't afford to cross. The Requiem's Bride was highly desirable but already claimed.He sat up immediately, trying to push the image of Camellia's smile though it was almost impossible to.His fingers slipped the letter up, finally sliding it open.The content was brief as always. Alejandro Ricci was not a man of many words. He always just left a name and manner of death.But when Mateo's eyes fully absorbed

Chapter: Chapter ten---Her Father's words rang in her ears. " Everyone in the Requiem is a wolf and you are the Requiem's Bride." The shadows hugged the corners of the dimly lit din hall. She sat down on the chair alone. Everyone had left. The darkness and silence amplified her rage. She stared into the darkness, her blood boiling, her fist clenched as she scoffed under her breath. The Requiem's Bride. That was a title she never asked for. A life she was going to be forced to live with a man worse than her Father. Even if he hadn't shown it, she knew just exactly the type of man he was. And everyone's reactions to him confirmed it. He was worse than the devil himself. She pushed her chair back, standing up. Then soon she moved, her heels making soft clicks against the marble floor taking steps that led her out of the dinning room toward the balcony.She needed air. The night air was fresh, with the smell of rain, liquor and cigarettes. Her eyes moved around till they rested on the courtyard below

Chapter: Chapter nine Camellia looked through her netted lashes. The last time everyone was gathered like this, they had fucking sold her off. Ringlets of smoke danced around the dinning halls, the strong smell of liquor, cigarettes and silence filling the room. Alejandro sat at the head of the long table, he was dressed in a fine silk, black sleeveless shirt. His wolf tattoo stretched over his balls of muscles on both arms. His fingers tapped silently again his glass of whiskey. His dark eyes moved around the room, scanning each face like a predator assessing its prey.Camellia sat beside him, her back was pressed against the chair. Her dark hair was curled in waves and her makeup was thick, her face unreadable. Her father, Luca Moretti, sat comfortably, his fingers wrapped around his glass of liquor, his eyes also traveled like Alejandro’s. Lorenzo, her eldest brother, sat right by his side, his jaw tight. He picked up his glass of liquor, taking a little sip from it then he sets it back on the table

Chapter: Chapter eight He was gone. As Camellia's eyes roamed around searching for him, Alejandro watched her. How her pupils dilated, how they reddened like she had tears stored up in them.She was looking for someone. Another man. While he was right by her side.His blood boiled. He spun her around, holding her wrist firmly. His voice dropped to a whisper as he scanned her face deeply. "Camellia... Who are you searching so desperately for?" Camellia felt her muscles stiffen. She had a feeling he knew. Alejandro was a very dangerous, even for Mateo. If he knew she was looking for Mateo, then Mateo would be in a whole lot of trouble. She straightened her back, raising her chin up in defiance. "None of your business, Alejandro." He smirked, "Do I need to show you just how much of...? "his eyes trailed down her body, growing lighter with lust."...'my business' you are? " he stressed. Camellia could sense the danger in his voice, like a silent warning, a subtle threat. His fingers dug into her lean wr

Chapter: Chapter seven Mateo sat in his executive seat, the darkness clung to the wide space of his office like a ghost in a haunted house.The footsteps were loud, arrogant hitting the marble floor. "El sicario... We have him." He looked towards the figure they dragged.It didn't take long for the figure to advance from the darkness, beaten, bruised.A child less than ten years. "The Capo of Falcón wants him gone."Blood dripped down his face, sweat clung to his immature cheeks. His crystal black eyes stared out into the darkness, hopeless. His head fell down, both of his hands were held by the men, his legs dragged on the floor. Immediately Mateo held his eyes, voices from the past rang in his ears, bombs echoed in the distance. His eyes were like a portal taking him back in time. Back to the past he had long forgotten. His mother held on to him. Her eyes bloodshot red, eyes still flowed out from them. "Mi amor... Close your ears, it would all soon be over." Mateo held his ears, brushing his litt

Chapter: Chapter six"You were just another desperate girl, Camellia."Camelia couldn't believe what she was hearing. Normally, she wasn't the emotional type, she was rather nonchalant but his words pierced into her deeper than she cared to admit. Another Desperate girl? The words rang in, repeating itself over and over again in her head. Obviously she couldn't be nonchalant, she had fucking given him her everything. Her body. Her innocence. Her will... Her virginity. She couldn't bear it anymore, her hands fisted, her eyes narrowed. Before she could stop herself, her fist landed hard against his cheeks, hot and aggressive. Her punch wasn't weak, it left a mark on his cheeks. Mateo did not budge, he stayed still. Normally he would have brought out his pocket knife, the one tucked beneath his jacket. And In a movement so slick, he would have slit her throat...If she weren't Camellia Moretti. A woman who left him vulnerable, acting out of character. "Another desperate girl, right?..." She yelled at

Chapter: Straight into my demise The high bluish scraper stares down at me clothed in its numerous glass windows. Lucky it, I felt naked.Images of Jake on me, his beastly eyes on my body, his sharp teeth biting into my skin, his hands rampaging through my clothes, pinning me down while his tongue took disgusting strokes down my body and his saliva clothing it, such monstrous images raid my thoughts. “Don't cry Krystal! You are grown now!” I tell myself, forcing back loads of piled up tears as my watery eyes stare up at the enormous blue scraper."What the fuck was I doing here? Shoulders brush against mine as I stand aimless in the crowd.They all push me rushing into the building. It's then I realized, I couldn't go in.I was unable to go in with a bag containing a body warmer he had even forgotten he had even purchased, talk less about giving it to him but then, I had nowhere to go and to make matters worse, I forgot the umbrella.I realize when my feet would rather not move… I couldn't go back home.I stand in

Meg switches on the TV in the sitting room, distant voices play in the background. I try to continue writing, but the TV distracts me. I scramble down a number of words that come into my head on my rough note. To my dismay, I see a bunch of “Cameron black” My God! I am running mad. I fall on my bed and roll on my back.

Chapter: Cameron Black I am on the bed, struggling and trying to fight off my adoptive brother who pins me down, unzipping his trousers.Mama's voice rings in my head. "Krystal… You will always shine the brightest!"I don't know how I get so much strength, but I reach for my lamp and smash it on Jeff's head, and he staggers, falling down beside me. I hold the lamp standing up from the bed. Furthermore, I look down at what I had done. Jeff is laying down, beneath his head is his blood. The blood is dark red. My feet draw me back as tears parade down my cheeks. The vase falls out of my hand to the ground and I run shouting:'Dad! Dad!" You can guess what happens next. Dad walks out of his study clothed in his fluffy brown pyjamas, he rushes to the scene. His glasses hang loosely on his rigid nose bridge.I try to tell him my part of the story;"Dad… Jeff…he tried to…he pinned me down…he almost…!"my voice breaks."What have you done to my son? What have you done?" He pushes me, hurrying to the scene.I hit

Chapter: Terrible Childhood I head back to my house with the white nylon swinging in my hands. A little drop of rain falls on my cheeks and I look up to find a star less sky. It's bluish black body is full of swollen bucky clouds.It is unclear to me why, but I have never seen a star on a rainy night, maybe it's because the clouds cover them, thus hiding them.Honestly, I have a bad memory of the rain. I know it's cold and relaxing when you lay on your couch with a mug of hot tea watching some Netflix or a plate of ice blocks on your laps crunching to the splitting sound of the rain, if you are my kinda girl, but my earliest memory of the rain isn't so rosy. I remember standing in a field with a sunflower in my little hands. The sunflower in my hands fit in with the flowers lined up in front of a grey gravestone.I stand in the midst of various adults clothed in a black overall gown. My hair is gelled back with stylish little silver pin on the side.The sky is ash and cloudy as various drops of rain fall from i

Chapter: His staring blue eyes FIVE DAYS EARLIER“ I stand on the last bridge of my life.Who knew Brooklyn Bridge, a bridge I always crossed through would be the bridge I fall from? I breathe in my last breath, so refreshing…The breeze blows my ebony hair and with one last step, l'll… “ “ Krystal!” My roommate screams out my name, making me drop my pen, my glasses shift and I slam my book shut. I look up at her pretty face. She has flowing long blonde hair, circular brown eyes and a bright killer smile, plus she wears excessively much red lipstick, and it brings out her large eyes. Sighing, I ask in my usual low toned voice; “What?” The outside door pushes open and her boyfriend rushes in holding some liquor and roast chicken, ready to do whatever disgusting stuff they always did and Lord, I am not ready to see that kind of yucky shit ever again, or 'At least not today!" The last time I saw something I shouldn't have, I was scarred mentally and gosh, I still am…So it happened like about a week ago, I am co

Chapter: Good night peanut " HELP!!!"I scream my heart out, panting with hot sweat dripping down my body, from my cheeks to my collarbone; the little drops trek down, wetting not just the lids of my glasses but also my collar until it gets over the soft rise of my cleavage.I turn, looking back each time as I race through the gray walls of an underground passageway, it's narrow walls stretch further and low cemented ceiling trapped me releasing a spooked out version of me running deeper in it. The gray gradually fades into sandy brown with the peeling gray paint resting at the bottom of the wall. A dull bulb is pinned against the wall as I speed pass it, leaving behind its fluctuating light.Running forward, I narrow my eyes trying to make out my way in the dull darkness. My feet make constant 'bangs' on the ground. All around me, I hear its echoes. "HELP!!!"I scream out once more, my voice louder with tears and panting as I hasten my already racing feet. In the darkness, my eyes make out another pair of l
