My fingers hit the strings one more time before I stopped. I raised my face. They cheered me, and it was nice. I felt alive and among. These people notice me. “Thank you so much. Thank you.” I said. My guitar fell from my hand, crashing to the ground.“Oh, I’ll help you with that.” A male voice said. He helped pick up the guitar. “Thank you. You didn’t really have to.” I said. I raised my face. I was sure my heart skipped a beat. My mouth was open. “hi. Rob.” I muttered off my shaking lips staring at him so close to me.“Rob? Wow! I didn’t realize I was this popular.” He said.“I’m sorry, I got to go.” I said trying to rush off, but he held me back by my hand. “wait wait, have we… have we met before?” he asked. “We? No, I don’t think so.” I said like I was in a rush.“wait, now I’m beginning to think I have seen you somewhere before. School?” he asked, holding on to my wrist.“No, no. I swear Rob, we haven’t met before.” I said.“You do realize you have said my name twice now right? And somehow we still have never met before.” He said giving me a cute smile. I stopped to stare at his face. Everything I’ve always wanted to look at was right in front of me and there I was, trying to run away. He reached out his hand for a handshake. “I am Robinson, girl I’ve never met before. May I know your name?”I am sure my cheeks were red, as I blushed. “This could be it. Dad might just be right after all.” I said to myself.”I took the hand shake. “Bella. It’s Bellamy actually.” I said.“Bella Bellamy? A beautiful name for a girl so beautiful.” He said, which got me giggling. “well, what do you say, how about I walk you home?”“I really don’t think there is any need for that. I’ll just take the night bus.”“I insist. Besides, I think it’ll be best if a guy walked with you. You never know who’s who in the streets, especially the subway ” He said. I couldn’t refuse him anymore. “Alright, but I still think it isn’t necessary. I mean, I don’t want someone’s son, or maybe boyfriend, walking with another girl. A complete stranger for that, who he has never met or seen before.“OK, first I don’t have a girlfriend, secondly, anyone ever told you you talk too much?” he said laughing cutely, so attractive that I literally had to hold myself from jumping all over him and kissing that face. I had imagined it all. Me and Rob alone on a big tree, looking at each others eyes. Or us, walking down the streets holding hands and everybody else looking at us, or having a nice family dinner together and sauce just above my lips so he uses his fingers to wipe it off. And even when we kissed on my rooftop under the blue moon and beautiful stars, and even when we have sex. I have imagined everything.I smiled all through while we walked to my house. I wished Harley was there to see us.“so how did you get to know me?” Rob asked.I coughed. “Umm, I… don’t remember. You are popular amongst… the girls. Yes, that’s it. I first heard your name in school girls phone. It was her ringtone, and then a couple more girls were always mentioning you too. Even guys too.” I said.“Hmm, really?” he asked.“Yeah of course, all your basketball scores. You are famous for your skills with skateboards, and… the internet. You I*******m followers are much. So one day I just decided to see for myself who this super cool guy was.He laughed. “Super cool?! Nah, you ate just trying to make me feel full of myself. That’s what you are doing. I am not supercool. I can go with popular, even though that’s not really it, but supercool? No.” He said.“why would you say that?” I asked. “of course you are supercool. You know it for a fact.” I said.He nodded. “Yeah, but not cool enough. I want to be cool enough to have a taste of your lips this night.” Rob said. I smiled and looked away shyly. I can’t believe I was still blushing hard over him even at this age.We made a halt at the front of my house. First person I saw was dad, up in my room. He gave me two thump ups, and kept smiling like I had won the whole world.“So, you really live here huh? Wow, small world!” He said, looking around as if to spot my house. “Where exactly?” he asked.I looked at my house. “We are here.” I answered. I turned around and made a spin. “I am Mr. Bakers daughter.”“you live here? You have got to be kidding. Since when?” he asked.“Since… as long as I can remember.” I answered.“OK, that’s another bad lie.. I’ve lived her for years. If Jared had a sister, I believe I would have known.” He said. “I live…”“next door, I know. Your mom’s a doctor. Dad works with A****n. Your sister is a lawyer, and you plan to join the US Marines . You love cats. At junior high, you ran away from home because your mom hit a stray cat. You were eleven then.” I said, laughing at the end. “My brother called you the Barbie princess.” I said, laughing loudly. He smiled. I admired his looks while I laughed. How could a smile be so perfect? I was convinced I was in love, deeply in love with Rob. I summed up courage and asked him if we could spend some more time on our rooftop.He still very much found it hard to believe I was someone who lived close by. Tbc…Related chapters
100 days in the Alpha’s arms. My heart
Chapter 3[My heart]Hi, my name is Bella. At age 9, I was diagnosed with Xeroderma pigmentosum. A rear skin disease called XP. To break it down, I am practically a vampire as sunlight isn’t really a thing for me, but that isn’t so bad. I’ve always wanted to be a vampire ever since I was very little. I guess I got that wish, except it literally kills me and gives no super power. Dad bought me a grand piano when I was 10, but, piano wasn’t really my thing so I got the guitar and violin instead and, I am really good with both. At sixteen, I was already a star at the train station. This was a long time ago though. “She gasped. His fingers in her mouth, April loved the sweet entanglement of his touch. And there again, he always gets what he wants!” I read and sighed. I put the book back in the drawer, and pushed it close. Gabi waved from outside the office. I shook my head. “Good evening. I didn’t know you had a shift today. Oh my god, you look breathtaking! What’s this? And that smile

[Bonded.] It had been six days since I had gone missing. I wondered how my family was doing? I wondered if Rob had even noticed or cared to. Three days ago, all I wanted was to go away from this unknown place and continue my life where I left it, but now? I don’t really know anymore. I see peace here, and so suddenly, these people had been treating me like a princess. I had asked severally, who he was, and why they held me here. Their answers were confusing. I stepped out of the bathtub. Kendra covered my body with the towel. “when can I go home?” I asked.“But this is your home.” She replied. I sighed. “You’ve told me that before, but this isn’t my home.” I said.We moved out of the bathroom. The soothing lotion, was applied on my skin. These people were filthy rich. On my bed were flowers, and notes. He gets me them every morning and evening but wouldn’t come to see me himself. I picked up a flower and sniffed it. It smelled nice. “It’s a silver rose. One of the best we h

Chapter 5Feelings stronger than willPart one [ The dance.]Kendra combed my hair in front of the big mirror. It felt good. The door opened. Ian had ordered that I’d be brought a silver rose again. I took it from the messenger. It smells even better today. “Tell him, it smells awful and that I’d really appreciate it if he stopped sending me this everyday.” I said. Caleb bowed his head and left. Kendra laughed. “The Alpha really loves you. I am so jealous.” She said. I sighed. “Great! I’m the luckiest woman on earth.”“You are. If you accept and believe it.” She said. Luck! That was something I had on my side now. That I could say. For the first time in almost two decades, I could actually look upon the sunrise and feel the warmth on my skin. I felt like a super hero. I drew in as much air as my lungs could take, and exhaled. “That’s the feeling.” I exclaimed. Kendra brushed my hair slowly. I could imagine her face smiling behind me. Knowing her now, I realized that was a hell o

Chapter 6[Underneath my dress]Ian stared into my eyes. He was a bit drunk. We both were. As I looked into those beautiful dazzling eyes once more, I was consumed by the most dominant thought in my mind. The world has countless sexy men, but Ian was more than just one of the sexiest beings I had ever set my eyes on. His eyes were mesmerizing and they caught me in a scope. I should let it out and kiss him already. The thought of his lips pressing on mine got me partially aroused. No, I shouldn’t. I still loved Rob. So I told myself even if I wasn’t sure if that were true anymore. My heart stood to oppose this. As I watched him take another sip from the bottle of cheap beer, I gulped at the sight of his lips pulling away from the bottle. How I wished I was the bottle at this moment, I wouldn’t let go of those sweet lips. I couldn’t just watch and fantasize in my head anymore. I took the bottle from Ian and pushed him on the chair, pretty much forcing myself on him while I reached my

Chapter 7[What I felt]“Hey,” Kendra said, jumping on me from the back. “Hey, good morning…” I said.She laughed, as if I was amusing her. “what?” I asked. “What are you laughing at?” I tried to open the door but it didn’t open.“Were you just trying to sneak out of the Alpha’s bedroom, hoping to be unnoticed by anyone, especially me? Oh my god!” she said and returned to her laughing. “Why is the door stuck? It won’t open. Stupid door!” “Its looked. I locked it last night after I found out you would be spending the night with the Alpha in his bedroom.” She said. Emphasizing on the ‘bedroom’“oh, great! You know, that’s wonderful, so can we please open the door now? I don’t want anyone seeing me looking like this?” I said.“Good morning Bella, how was the night?” Caleb greeted smiling like I had never seen him do before. “Good morning.” I returned the greeting, while I ignored the question. I turned to Kendra. “Hmm.. that was weird. Did… did you see the way he smiled? Why is

Chapter 8[Let go memories]It’s been 24 days since I have been here, away from my friends and family. Today, I remember sweet little Evie. I wonder how she’s doing at the moment. Her cancer was at a critical stage already. Her chances of survival were below five percent. I wanted to be there with her, to be there for her. She was all her father got left.Caleb walked in to announce the Alpha was would be coming to see me in a few minutes. I got out of bed with my rough hair and pale looking face. Ian came in. He noticed my saddened facial expression almost immediately he stepped inside. He seized his eyes and raised his eyebrows like he always does. “Hey, good morning… Alpha.” I greeted. He cleared his throat to speak with an Alpha’s voice. “You don’t look like yourself today, is there a problem?” he asked.I sighed, and nodded. “I don’t know. I can’t help it from within… here.” I said. “not that I could have helped it in anyway. It’s just not fair.” “The world is not fair, nei
100 days in the Alpha’s arms. Tale of Ville and the Cabin
Chapter 9[Tale of Ville and the Cabin]I stared outside the beautiful roads excitedly. It was a sight to behold. I loved the trees alongside it. So different from the cities in the State. It had been a while since I saw outside the Alphas castle. I looked back at the pack which we had just left. Ian rested his head by the window with his eyes clothes. His face was comparable to that a sweet cute looking toddler, so innocent and lovely. “Where are we… going?” I askedSnape, the driver looked at me through the mirror. “Oh, didn’t the Alpha tell you? We are going to Ville culture.” He said.“Ville culture? What’s that?” I asked eagerly as the name was a strong catch.“Ville culture. It is a tradition we must do here every here. You see, at ancient times, all packs were one. Everyone was together, until we weren’t. But at the time we were together as one pack, the Alpha and everyone came together to make a garden at the center of the pack. It has all the beautiful flowers and great

Chapter 10 [Touch me o Alpha]It is 21st December, many years ago. I am five years old. Little Jared picks up a box of wrapped early Christmas present. He is so happy, as he smiles running to dad with the box in his hand. Father picked him up and he laughed. It is a happy family for real. He unboxed the present. It was a spray gun. The neighbors must have brought that one in. I picked up one too, and I unwrapped it. It is a tiny guitar without any string at all. I smiled just like my little brother. Dad carried me too. He was strong and muscular, because, at the time, he was hitting the gym every weekend.“Dad?” “What is it sweetie?” Dad asked. He put some cereal in his mouth and chewed it like he does, like a clown. I always find that funny. I laughed. “Come on, what is it?” he asked again, chewing even worst than he did the first time, making me laugh harder and louder.The door bell rang. Dad put us down and went to get it. It was more present. He had ordered for them earlie

Chapter 21[Fated mates: Rainy sweet nights.]Ian returns. It is evening. Caleb took his coat. I smiled. Ian made a groan as he took off his coat. His arm was still hurting. His self healing process had been drastically slowed down because of his life force in me.“My lord.” I teased him. “How was it today?” I asked.“Construction will begin tomorrow. The site has been cleared out.” Caleb answered in his place. Knowing Ian well enough, Caleb knew he wouldn’t answer my question. Not in front of everyone like that, where he was supposed to be the almighty and fear striking Alpha he had built as his reputation.“I made dinner.” I said.“I am not hungry, but I will have a taste.” He said, and smiled deviously.“Sure, but first, I have to take you to the bathroom.” I said, taking his hand. I smiled at him. I knew he loved my smile so much.Yes, I bathe him. Although he refused at first, he gave in.“So, you are my mother now?” he said and laughed.“No, I’m not. Not yet. Right now, I am jus

Chapter 20[The comfort in you.]• I slowly opened my eyes. I faced the ceiling of my room. Kendra didn’t come to wake me up. Or perhaps she hasn’t. What was keeping Ian? Immediately, my fear began to creep in again, and soon, it was consuming me. Was I right? Did a miracle not happen? Is Ian an outcast?• Ian pulled me to himself and hugged me again. He kissed my head. “Thank you Bellamy.”• Yesterday, in the lake, we made love under the sunset, today, we kiss forever under the sunset. The passion of his touch was prayer being answered.*********“OK, please do not tell anyone I told you this. Especially the Alpha. You did not get this from me.” Kendra requested.I chuckled. “What is it?” I asked.“I can not tell you unless you give me your word.” She said, holding my hands while tripping hard.The excitement had got through to me and contaminated me as well. I because super excited to hear what secret she has for me. “Fine, I promise not to say a word. You didn’t tell me anything. W

Chapter 19 [The passion] I rushed over to Ian to check what his locket says. It says “only old friends can give the deserved pride.” “He will never let you win. You have to take the bead back.” I said. “I can not take it back.” Ian yelled Tyler let go of my hand. “You say this wine is for a Victor lord, and you bring it for Ian when you know we are pitched against each other?” He asked and then laughed. “I know he will win. That is why you envy him so much. Because he is stronger.” I said. The arena was full of whispers. Tyler had won two rounds of the three. The eeriness of silence ached my head. Tyler rushing off towards Ian with all the force he could find in him, was the last thing I saw before collapsing. *** It is late in the afternoon, and still no sign of Ian arriving back in his Castle. Kendra asked me to fill her in the stories which she had already concluded where amazing, but I was not really in the mood to. My larger attention was focused on any possible news ab

Chapter 18[Tournament III]With Tyler’s grinning face, I could tell everything had gone terribly bad. He took his locket and hung it on his neck chain.“Do not let me win like the first time. Let the greatest be called Lord.” He said and walked away.I rushed over to Ian to check what his locket says. It says “only old friends can give the deserved pride.”“He will never let you win. You have to take the bead back.” I said.“I can not take it back.” Ian yelled, attracting everyone’s attention towards us. “I will handle this. Do not talk to me about it any further.” He ordered with a red eye. He hung the locket on his neck chain too and stormed out. I looked at my arm. I was bleeding from the muscle Ian grabbed angrily.“Is everything ok?” Saint Cooper asked looking a bit concerned.“yes, everything is fine.” I replied.“OK. Please join us at the arena. This way.” He said, pointing me with the direction.“I’ll join you soon. I just need to see my lord first. There is something I must
100 days in the Alpha’s arms. Tournament II
Chapter 17[Tournament II]What we had was a very tight situation. With a condition like this, it was bigger than both me and Ian. The entire pack, as well as Ian’s pride and my life was at stake. How could this be? There was so much to lose in just a night if this went the unfortunate way, which Ian had said was sure to happen.“what do we do then? I…” I stammered worriedly. “There must be a way.” I said.Ian continued with the walk with his hand deep in his pockets. He looked less worried than before, and far less than I was.“I have to talk to the Alpha I am pitched against. Hope lives only if he understands and let’s me win once. Aside that, there is no other way.” He said.Not very much people seemed to like Ian, even though they were all very respectful of him. I believe it was mostly driven by fear and not love or admiration. I doubt if anyone would agree to do that if they found out he was temporarily far weaker than any of them. Tyler would beat him to a pulp and watch him ou
100 days in the Alpha’s arms. Tournament
Chapter 16[Tournament]Ian sat outside the cabin, under a tree at the backyard. The sun had set, and time was already ticking in the second session of the day. I crossed my hands, watching him from inside. He didn’t look OK. I felt this was the worst day of the days here in Ville culture for him.I should be out there keeping him company, but I didn’t think he wanted to talk to anyone at the moment, so I left him with his thoughts. What was he thinking about? What put him in a long mood like this?I left the glass of milk on the cabinet, untouched. I had lost my thirst for it. By the next sunset, we’ll be back in the silver city pack. I hoped the dead moods will remain in the Ville. I don’t think I could bare seeing the Alpha looking like this for any more days.I decided to cool down by taking a long shower. I stood still while the water did its work. Even though it didn’t feel right, it felt good. I needed Ian. I needed his hands. I needed his body, his lips, his shoulders. I nee
100 days in the Alpha’s arms. Know a beast
Chapter 15[Know a beast]I stepped out of the car. I smiled back shyly as Ian’s face brimmed with a beautiful and honest smile.“What?” I asked.“Nothing.” He replied, still smiling.“Then why is a certain Alpha I know smiling like that at me?” I asked, almost laughing out. Ian shook his head, and killed the smile which was turning into a creepy grin.“You look… beautiful. I have no words for it.” He said. I smiled. That was sweet.“Alright Mr. flirt, lead the way.” I said. Ian got out and gave me his hand. His face was high up like that of Caesar. How could I not believe I made him very happy?Just then another car drove towards us like a mad driver, drifting with speed. It happened so fast and sudden that I couldn’t move. Ian pulled me some inches back, creating just enough distance for the car to stop right in front of me. My heart pounded with fear and shock. Who was the crazy werewolf being in that car? The door opened slowly, and a leg stepped out. I was eager to see who it wa

Chapter 14[A Crack in the line]So while I paused with my lips apart, looking at him say everything he had just said, my mind flashed back to the story Kendra told me some time ago. I immediately saw the curse on him and believed it. Ian had made me hurt with his words and I wasn’t sure he realized it then. The way he looked at me, it was like he regretted e everything we’ve had, everything we’ve become. It was Luke he wished it never happened. The thought of this, made me sad, and angry. I had almost forgotten that look, those eyes. I know them too well. Pity and regret. Rob gave me that look, those eyes. And even now, it hurts even more. “I’m sorry. Excuse me.” He said and walked out.I sat on the bed, thinking if it was real, the legend, what I thought we had. I wondered if this was ever real to him, after all, he is an Alpha, and they pretty much play with hearts.It was dawn the next day. I touched the other side of the bed. I was the only one on it. Ian slept on a tiny chair

Chapter 13[Back to the cold]“Life tells no lie. What is, has always been, what has always been, will always be. It’s all just a circle. The only new thing to it is us, and it shall watch us fade away into the darkness we all came from. Our void, our fear. But even so, it’s all temporary. Everything is. Life.” Dana, a German mythologies says. I rolled the dice in my hand. I always admired her growing up. Dad came in with flowers in his hands. He looked grateful.“How are you feeling?” He asked holding my hand.“Better, I guess. Nothing I haven’t felt before.” I answered. He kissed me on the head and heaved a sigh of relief. “What took you so long?” I scolded him.“I flew in as soon as I heard. I’m so sorry.” He said. “hungry?” he asked, raising a box of chocolates.I smiled, falling for it like the eleven years old teenager I was. “Are you sure you feel OK?” He asked again.I shrugged my shoulders. “Shouldn’t you ask the doctor? I haven’t seen any since I woke up.” I said and sighed
