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
Chapter 12…… “Wha… Eh…” she startled “AAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!” she screamed loudly as she felt his legs and hands wrapping around her wildly and possessively. “Shut up!” the man replied in a cold and annoyed tone of voice. “AAAAAA!!!!!” she kept screaming continuously “Hey, shut up, prisoner!!! 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 14…… “Would you believe me if I say that I don’t know about anything??” she cried “Would you believe me if I say that I have never done this?? Why don’t you believe me, mother? Why don’t you help prove my innocence for my sister?? Why do you always make us fight?!” She clutched at her stepmother’s neat dress tightly. She was honest with them. However, she pushed her away from her body and let go of her face as she stared into her eyes. “Fuck off, Lydia.” Smirked the stepmother “I am not your mother, and you are not my daughter’s sister. You are inferior to us and you have no right to call us your family. Whether you were right of wrong, whether the necklace was yours or not, my daughter needs a necklace to meet her father, so she is getting one.” Endless tears rolled down her pale yet gorgeous face as her lips quivered and shivered. She could not believe what she had heard. She immediately, and without any alert, cried in a loud voice: “Wh… Why would you tre
Chapter 14.5…… (Flashback) “Please…” her cries for help pierced the night “Please… Let me go…” Tears ran down her apple-like cheeks as the cold brisk wind made it painful to breathe. What was once a birthday mating party, turned into an utter nightmare. It felt like a fateful night or a cursed one that led her to the beginning of her misery. That was not how it was supposed to happen, that was not the birthday she was always told about. She could feel blood tickling down the nape of her neck, where he had sunk his fangs and smeared across her bare breasts. The pain of his fangs made it feel unbearable, yet his tender embrace and soft kisses on the wound site made the pain subside slightly. He was the medicine of his own poison. Soothing yet dangerous. His words were echoing in her ears. Words that made all of her body shiver and shake, and he kept repeating and reassuring them. “My mate…” he murmured lustly, as his voice felt full of power and hunger. She d
Chapter 15…… Without any alert, the stepmother pushed Lydia out of the door with her full force. Her hands casted a powerful strength that blew her body up from the ground and made her lose her control. “Ahhh!!” screamed Lydia as she felt light. Everything around her happened quickly and she felt that time could never stop or slow down. Then, a loud exploding voice echoed throughout the house when her body could finally get in contact with the floor. Her body rolled down the stairs from the impact of the push and the loss of her control. She tried to stop her body from falling any further, however she could only realize that she had many bruises, contusions, cuts and scratches that ached and covered her. She moaned in pain and rested unconscious at the end of the stairs. Her body was wrapped with red bloody ribbons and her head was bleeding heavily. Anyone who would see her would only think that she was already dead, only if her loving heart would stop beating for him.
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??
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,
