…
…
At the morning, the breakfast was prepared elegantly for Sofia and her mother, and the leftovers were offered for Lydia.
The stepmother approached Lydia with a glare on her face. Her eyes were more like a predator’s, preparing to feast on her prey. Her lips turned into a wicked grin of a witch, not a mere human being.
“Where have you been last night, Lydia?” she snarled, showing her grin and wide eyes.
“I… I was in the woods, mother…” mumbled Lydia
“In the woods you say? Huh! In the woods! What an absurd lie!”
“I am… Not lying…”
“How do you dare reply back??!!”
SLAP!!A smack on Lydia’s face could be heard in the villa, as its voice echoed in the silent halls. The stepmother left the red traces of her hand on Lydia’s fragile, pearl-white face. Her anger with her was overaged with no reason.
“Who were you with, Lydia???” screamed the stepmother “Who did you spend the night with??? Answer me now!!!”
“I… I…” she murmured as she felt her heart would stop and faint at any moment. Her eyes were brimmed with twinkling tears, holding the fear of her fierce and heartless mother.
Anyone looking at Lydia would understand how merciless her stepmother was, as her face turned pale and grayish, and her hands trembled calmly.
“I was not with anyone…” she continued “I was not…”
“Do you take me for an idiot???” yelled the mother, as her voice doubled in the empty rooms. “Do you think I would believe that you have spent all of the night alone in the forest?? Ahahaha!!! Tell me, did he touch you? Did he kiss you? Did he steal your virginity? Your father will surely kill us if he knew!!”
“I was not with anyone…. I swear… I did not meet a man… Why are you accusing me?”
“There is no way that the coward Lydia would spend her time in the open air at night within the forest, what if a werewolf would eat her??”
“…”
“You were with someone, weren’t you?”
“I was… Not…”
The stepmother pushed Lydia to the ground, as she fell and hit her head with the chair’s foot. Her vision started to blur, as she felt the voices around her started to faint away. However, before everything went black, she could hear a low sound saying: “If your father was to fight with me because of you, I will surely hurt you more, Lydia. I will make you regret it!!”
The world went dark in her eyes and silent around her. She knew that she had lost her consciousness after she was pushed with a merciless power. Even when she was closing her eyes, she was only thinking about him, Eugene.
Was he painful? Was he hungry? Was he thirsty? Did he need a toilet? Did he need some warmth? Did he feel lonely? Did he want her?
Many questions were buzzing in her unconscious head, and she thought that she needed to wake up hastily and check on her weak friend. She felt responsible for him.
Her eyes gapped slowly to see the world around her still cloudy. She took a deep breath and smelled the faint garlic odor around her, it reminded her of her mother.
As she looked around her, she could see her aunt, the nanny, lying her head on her laps and crying over her. The nanny’s tears could soak Lydia’s cheeks as her smell of garlic filled Lydia’s lungs.
“Young lady, I am sorry for you…” cried the nanny.
“I… I… Am fine…” murmured Lydia “Do… Not worry…”
“OH MY GOD!! Young lady! You woke up! Tell me, does it hurt?? Do you feel painful??”
“I am fine… Auntie…”
“This merciless inhumane monster! She is always hurting you when master leaves away!”
“I am used to this…”
“Let me tend your injury!”
“No need… I am fine…”
Lydia tried to rise her head from the nanny’s laps, however she could feel the whole world had spun around, and the ground was dizzy. Her injury was not deep, yet she could feel her head drumming and bombing.
Lydia was her father’s favorite, that was why her step mother and step sister had hated her. Whenever the father would leave for a business, Lydia would be treated like an animal with no rights to live in such a villa.
Her father had been on a trip for more than ten days, without checking on her or sending her any letter. These ten days were nothing but suffering for Lydia, as if she was dying daily for several times.
Her stepmother would ban her from eating, assuring that anyone who would offer her food would surely be punished. She would beat her up, stick the cigarettes to her body, yell at her and accuse her of sins she had never done.
Lydia would bear that harsh life only because she had her beloved pet friends in their woods, and a new friend who would accompany her.
Lydia asked for a plate of food from the maid, so that she could offer it to Eugene. She stood up again, after she drank some lemonade prepared by the nanny, and rushed hurriedly towards the small cottage which hid him.
As she stepped in, her eyes widened and her heart drummed as she saw his half naked, shirtless body. As Eugene was standing in front of her without a shirt on his body, his sparkling sweat dripped down from his chest towards his striped sick abs packs.
Eugene unwear his shirt to reveal his bare tanned naked skin, that was covered with wounds, bruises and scars carved on his body like a map.
His abdomen was shredded and ripped in fine lines that seemed to be drawn by a professional artist. His bullish rock-hard neck was crowning his meaty mighty chest that flowed with busty muscles and was marked by a circular scar.
Then, his muscles slicked down into his brawny six packs, that felt like six bags full of iron. Not to forget his Herculean steady shoulders that wear sculpted carefully by an expertized statuary to make them an alluring panther’s brawns, and lastly, down under his shoulders resided a pair of chiseled biceps and beefy triceps, that made his arm look like two battle guns.
The whole scene was mesomorphic for any girl as he looked like a coiled cobra with many dangerous muscles, or like a lustful and seductive Porsche that could force anyone to eager for it.
A scenery that would fascinate any woman.
However, it was not his body that shocked her, because she had seen it the night before. But… Where had the wound been??!

Chapter 6…… The whole scene was mesomorphic for any girl as he looked like a coiled cobra with many dangerous muscles, or like a lustful and seductive Porsche that could force anyone to eager for it. A scenery that would fascinate any woman. However, it was not his body that shocked her, because she had seen it the night before. But… Where had the wound been??! Eugene was holding the bandages in his hands, as if he had removed them a moment ago, however the wound had no trace on his body, as if it was removed alongside the bandages. Just like some sticker on his abdomen that had been ripped away. She scanned his body from up to down in search for the wound she had sewed the night before, however she could find it no where. “Eugene…” she murmured as her voice trembled “Where…” All of sudden her voice muted as she covered her mouth with the palm of her hand. She could feel nauseated staring at him, as if her stomach was churning and attacking her from the inside. S

Chapter 7…… Lydia could wake up to the fresh smell of spices and cooked meat. She opened her eyes as the world was still vague and blurry around her, however she could notice a pool od crimson blood around her. Her eyes popped open widely as her breath was caught, as if an elephant was stomping on her chest. Her body was all frozen as she sensed the still warm blood soaking her body. She could move no part of her body any inch, but rather stay still in her place. She knew it… She was killed by him… The werewolf… Her heart felt as if it had stopped as she could not take any breath in anymore, as if she had drown in a dark universe. No one could have saved her from her inner demon, raging, crying and screaming inside her mind. Her demon was only bringing back the memory of her dead mother and telling her that she was brutally slaughtered as well. Tears refused to fall from her eyes, she could not even let go the bitterness of her life. It was the moment she had realized th

Chapter 8…… “I have never been outside the walls…” she continued “Eh?” he startled as he giggled lightly, showing a dimple by the side of his lips. “Stop mocking me!!” “Why haven’t you been out ever?” “I… I was scared that someone like you would eat me…” “Eat you? Haha! Why would I?” “Are you kidding?? Because that’s what you, werewolves, do to human beings!! You are monstrous!!! Insane!! Merciless! Heartless!! How can you do so?? What do you want from us??” His gentle smile faded away into a pout as he heard her words, his face turned pale and gloomy as he silenced from uttering any other world. A not-very-old scene popped into his memory of bloodshed, fear, tears, screams and loss. “Yes! Stay silenced!!” she yelled “You are all barbaric criminals!!!” All of sudden, his eyes turned silvery and dangerous, reminding her of a beastly power that could tear her into thousands of pieces. Her glared at her with his thunderous eyes as if
A Never Meant Mate chapter 9
Chapter 9…… Lydia kept being silent, she did not respond to him with words, but rather glared at him confidently and then changed her gaze towards her chest, where his hand was placed above. He looked towards her chest as he felt her dangerous eyes, he knew that she was hiding a trick behind her odd confidence. Then, he unbuttoned the fifth and the sixth buttons of her dress, showing more of her white elegant brassier. His eyes bulged with a shock, as his fingers stopped moving towards the seventh button. He stared at her chest for a long while, then let go of a loud laughter. The edge of a dagger was revealed from her chest, as she was hiding it inside her clothes ever since she had met him. Hastily, she snatched the dagger from her chest and unsheathed it out of its cover, to point its tip towards the abdomen of Eugene, threatening to cut at him. Obviously, he was not scared from her, however her stubbornness could make her cute and weird in his eyes, as she was curiou

Chapter 10…… A Soft, silver shining glimmer lit the villa’s windows, as the rooms were bathed in the full moonlight. The full moon hanged, shyly, in the sky like a silver coin, hiding between the stormy clouds. It cascaded its light with a romantic glow as it casted a silver veil over the room. “I… I was not with a… Anyone…” mumbled Lydia, as she felt her legs tremble and shake hastily. She was sure that her stepmother had no idea about Eugene’s presence, however her mother had the fears that Lydia would, someday, surpass her daughter, Sofia. As a result, the stepmother feared that she might have someone to love her one day. Her stepmother wanted to destroy her and prove to her father that she was a psychopath and that he should take her to psychic sanatorium, so that she could get rid of her. Sofia was pretty and gentle, had a lot of lovely friends, was well-educated and smart, and had a wealthy and handsome fiancé that wanted to marry her. Her stepmother feared that

Chapter 11…… Peering quietly, exposing half of its face, the full moon sent a slightly silver mist upon the woods. The full moon was dancing like diamond glints on the dark water puddles. Its shimmering reflection casted a silvery sparkle on the little rain ponds, trickled from the bleeding and crying sky, and played on the branches of the woods. The silver orb, in the velvety sky, poured its light down to earth. The shimmering, dancing light looked like a bridal organza. Out of blue, she could sense gentle sniffling on her face, as if a little creature was breathing so close to her. The full moonlight shone upon her face as she opened her eyes wide and witnessed a clear white wolf in front of her. A wolf??!! How?? It was her first time to witness a wolf in her woods. She had counted all of the animals; however, she had never met a wolf, especially with such a pure white color. Was it lost? Did it come into their territory? Was it living there for a long while? Or did it c

Why is your voice so annoying like that??!! Arghh!!! You are going to deafen my ears!” “Why the hell are you here??? Why are you naked as well?? AAAAA!!!!!!” “Shut…” “Pervert!! Erotic! Stalker! Go away!!!” “Have some gratitude, idiot!!!” “Why would I… Ah… Oh… Well… A wolf saved me… Which means…” Her eyes glistened as she stared at him for a while. An odd feeling rose behind her, making her heart hammer hastily, her face burn redly, her breath tighten weirdly and her mind buzz with the thoughts of him. His white hair was drenching with water, she knew that he was roaming under the late storm. Her hand, involuntarily, reached out for his body a

Chapter 13…… “Ah!! Oh my god!!” Like a newborn phoenix starting to shake off the ash, the sun lifted up its head and the grey began to fade. Liquid gold droplets slowly began to glitter in the thin air and the colors made by the rising sun grew more vivid with the passing time. A powerful splintering noise filled the room and echoed throughout the whole villa, when Sofia was screaming her lungs out. Everyone in the palace could wake up to her loud squeaks and rush to her room. It was barely dawn and the sun had not completely risen, however she was panicking like a maniac in her imperial room. “Ahhh!!! I can not find it anywhere!!!” screamed Sofia “Where is it??! How did it disappear??! Who took it??!!! Ahhh!!! Oh my god!!” “My daughter, what happened with you??” cried the mother worriedly, as she rushed towards her daughter’s room as quick as possible. “Sofia, are you alright?” questioned Lydia “You seem scared, did something happen with you??” Lydia

Chapter 27…… The world started lighting up as he opened his eyes slowly, his vision was slightly blurred and he could see a woman’s face in front of him. Her eyes were red, probably from crying for him, and her head was wrapped with bandages. He could not totally read the situation around him, but he noticed that his hands, feet, head and chest were all wrapped with bandages. “Noelle…” he murmured as he slightly opened his eyes. “Eugene…” called the girl “Eugene… Did you wake up?? Are you fully conscious now?? Say hello if you are alive!” “Where am I?” “Eugene… This is my cottage… Don’t you remember?? You were deeply injured.” An electrifying pain pulsated in his chest, reminding him of his situation. Lydia was the woman who saved and nursed him, and her face was pale, her eyes were red, her eyebrows were frowned and her breath was tight. Could she have woke up the whole night for him? “How are you feeling now??” Lydia asked. “Are you in pain? Who

hapter 26.3…… He stepped into the gates of the castle, as blood oozed out of his wounds and his legs felt paralyzed. He stared around him, at every corner, and sniffed the air searching for her faint smell. His eyes wandered to find any traces of her, yet she was not close, as if she had disappeared from earth. His heart beat hastily, his temperature rose, his blood boiled in his veins and the urge to kill kicked in again. He could fall for his monster again, but that time he was afraid he could not control it and lose his sanity. “Noelle!!” he screamed loudly “NOELE!!! Where are you???? I am here for you!!! Noelle!!” He let out a shaky breath as he felt his mouth was bone dry. A small lump was sitting in his throat and he had suddenly lost the ability of speech. His heart was pounding against his ribs as if trying to fulfill a thousand beats, and he exhaled deeply, releasing some of the tension that had built up in his shoulders. He felt a sudden sickening sensati

Chapter 26.2…… When he had first met her, her electrifying smile had completely won him over. So too had her cupid-bow lips, her coral-black hair and her eyes of paradise-blue which glittered as clear as a mountain stream. His wounds ached with pain and his left leg throbbed. Tap. A pause. Tap-tap. A longer pause. He felt an acute pain and a ringing sound filled his head. He tried to stay upright and summon strength and for a brief moment he did. Then his left leg betrayed him and he felt a hard rap above his ear. “Man up, soldiers!” A sergeant called to plan on the prince of furies’ death. He had Hercules shoulders and a hard stare. When he raised his voice, it was as loud as bottled thunder. He glared with contempt at the young recruits who were cowering in the trench. A soldier called out to the sarge from the end of the trench. “Our men have fallen, sergeant Louis!” Sergeant Louis cursed and leaned into the ear of the recruit. He said something to the novice and ma

Chapter 26.1 … … Tik tak… Tik tak… Tik tak… The noise of the large clock in the center of the royal palace was echoing with loud and nerving sounds, when a soldier rushed into the prince’s office. His heavy panting and loud breathing could be heard clearly as he ran from the main entrance into the fourth floor. “Prince Eugene!!!” he yelled with fear scratching his face “Pr… Prince Eugene… Humans… Lady… They… We couldn’t save… Uh… I am sorry… Prince Eugene…” “Hey, calm down and take a breath.” Prince Eugene, the handsome silver-haired and rare wolf, left his desk and approached the soldier lightly. “Did something bad happen??” “The worst!!!” “Take a breath and speak up!” The soldier clutched at his chest, lowered his eyes into the floor, took a deep breath, and hesitantly said: “Humans barged into the palace’s walls…” “Yes…” “We tried to stop them, but many soldiers were killed…” “Yes.” “They scattered spies insid

Chapter 23…… All of sudden, there was fog of gunpowder surrounding the area and the sound of bullets running towards them. Seven shots were fired, one after the other without a break. Dust particles rose where gunfire had covered and the sound of a wolf’s squeaking echoed in the forest, scaring away all the animals and birds. It was loud… He was ached… The fierce bullet tore the flesh at his throat and chest like sharp claws as he felt something dug into his back. Every breath dragging more and more nausea from the pit of his stomach and each labored breath reverberated threw him like sonic waves. It tortured him to move, so he held my breath and dropped without uttering a sound. Every heartbeat sent a surge of pain, as if his chest were being torn apart. In the other hand, Lydia was shocked to the core. For several moments she lied unmoving as he fell on her body and his blood soaked her clothes. She felt the muscles of her heart tighten with incredible force, her mou

Chapter 22…… Just before she could finish her words, the beast emitted a loud roar that could spread fear within all the forest’s animals, insects and creatures. He revealed his pointy fangs and dispossessed his silver claws, as saliva drippled from his jaws. He emitted the foul smell of blood, raised his thin lips and growled directly at her. The great wolf’s howl crackled through her eardrums and ruffled her hair, as it pierced through the velvet air. A loud, piercing sound came from its muzzle and the air echoed with the call of the wild. Without any warning, he steadied his feet and attacked towards her! A rustle of grass and in the distance made his ears twitch. Then, he knew it was time for attack. Surveying the savannah, he spotted her image. Soundlessly, the stealthy wolf crept over the savannah. Lydia looked up at his revealed fangs and monstrous looks, and murmured: “Eu… Eugene…” spotting the raging wolf, she ran. Disaster for Lydia, her small feet made it al

Chapter 21.5.2…… The maid grabbed Noelle’s hand and drug her to where the royals were standing, talking with the royal wolves. She cleared her throat and smiled expectantly. "Oh, my apologies, girls!" the announcer exclaimed. "Let me introduce you. King Orsand, Prince Eugene, the ones you serve wholeheartedly. And you know, today the prince will be an adult!” Both of the girls dipped into low curtsies as the two men looked them over. "Happy birthday, prince Eugene.” The maid said, while Noelle kept silent as she was scared. "It is very lovely meeting the both of you.” That was when Noelle felt it. It was not strong, but it was there, again. Something. She looked up into the face of the prince and saw him staring intently at her. His gaze was focused and mesmerized, he did not have the initiative to turn around, and it was in front of everyone. How could the prince stare at a maid intimately like that?? Her heart skipped a beat, a tingling sensation started in

Chapter 21.5……(Flashback) The gardens began to brighten a bit when the storm clouds moved away from the moon and the moon casted its rays above them. Between her foggy vision of her misty eyes, she was able to look at her attacker. She stared at him, astonished at who she was seeing. Too shocked to speak. He was not a man any woman could encounter. A rare gem for the eye. Before she could utter any word, she heard a voice emitting from the end of the way. Many footsteps caused a ruckus around, and she knew that people were searching for him. Probably his servants. They were in a rush as they called for him all over the area. Their faces were tinted with worry and concerns for him, as he was an important man and a celebrity that would never touch any random woman. “Master Eugene!” yelled a servant from a way as he spotted him. “MASTER EUGENE!!!!” “Master Eugene…” she murmured in a shock. She could never believe what her ears heard. Was he really master Eugene??
A Never Meant Mate chapter 21
Chapter 21…… “Eugene…” she called loudly “Eugene!!! Where are you??!” Wearing her long apron and covering her bandaged hands, Lydia searched for Eugene within the walled forest. She knew he was not far, since there was no escape route, yet she was afraid that he might have been hurt. Lydia could remember most of last night’s events. She could remember that Eugene, her hero, was the only ne who searched for her and saver her from the coldness and loneliness. She could feel his comfy fur warming her, and could remember his powerful body holding her on his back. “Eugene!! Eugene!!” she yelled “It is me!! Lydia!!! Where are you, idiot??? I know you are around, so answer me!!! Eugene!” His odd silence worried her, as she imagined that he might be hurt or even… Dead…. Could her father’s men have killed him? That night, when they found her, they might have shot him and thrown his body away. Lydia’s heart started to ache and her legs to tremble. She was cold, tired,
