I tried to escape but I felt his cold, bony fingers clamp down on my tender flesh. His strong grasp held me down, no matter how much I wriggled or twisted. Despite my frantic attempts to escape, his grip only intensified, sending sharp, searing pain down my arm.As I looked up, I saw his eyes, glowing in a sinister red in the dim light. His gaze was filled with a terrifying intention, as if he was relishing the prospect of causing me harm. I shuddered as I realized that I was completely at his mercy.The unbearable pressure of his grip made my skin feel raw and achy, like it was being carved out. I couldn't help but cry out in pain, my voice full of anguish, only to feel the grip tightening with every breath.Suddenly, I heard the sound of a clinking belt being undone, and my heart sank even further. I knew what was coming next, and my struggles became even more desperate. My mind raced with fear and anxiety, my breathing coming in quick gasps. I was trapped and helpless, with no way
June 12th, 1923 – Yellow Moon Pack ERIN."Faster, Erin...go faster. I'm about to cum," Magnus commanded, his voice hushed and quivering as sensations of pleasure washed over him. I followed his request, biting my lower lip and taking deeper breaths as I increased the pace of my movements. "Fuck, Magnus! I don't want it to end," I let out a moan as I took him in deeper, feeling his length reaching further depths and filling me up. I felt his hand grip my waist, guiding my movements as my hips gyrated faster and harder with each passing moment. My hands moved to his chest, feeling his heartbeat race under my touch. We were both lost in pleasure, our bodies in a needful dance of movement and desire. I was lost in the sensation of every inch of him inside me, craving more with each passing second. Magnus' hands on my waist, guiding me into deeper movements, heightened my pleasure and drove me further into climax.The sound of his breaths echoed around me, his pleasure growing until i
ERIN I was about to leave for The Black Blood Pack, the pack Alpha Axel ruled over and where the mate–choosing ball would take place. I had taken delicate measures, covering up my black eye with tons of make–up to avoid stares, gossip and questioning. However, I wished there was a way I could cover up the breaks in my heart and somehow repair the aftermath of the pain it had been subdued to. I stood in front of the grand mirror in my bedroom as I carefully ran my fingers over the soft, royal purple fabric of the regal dress I was wearing. The fabric draped elegantly over my curves and was adorned with beading that shimmered in the light. The dress hugged my waist before flaring out into a full, flowing skirt that would brush the ground as I walked. I sighed, my mind drifting back to Alpha Magnus. He's the Alpha of the Yellow Moon Pack, a subsidiary territory attached to ours – The Silver Star pack, and hence was not as powerful as ours. My gaze fell on the purple am
ERINHe scowled on seeing me, a deep frown that narrowed his brows. I wondered what he was going to do to me now – I just saw him smash a chair with minimal effort. I quickly rose from my crouched position, getting up on my feet and gulped, swallowing nothing. "H–hello, I just uhm…I got lost." Nervousness gripped my throat, and I just spluttered whatever blabber that came to my lips. However, to my surprise, he simply scoffed, shrugging his shoulders in unconcern and then he looked away from me. I released a breath I didn't know I was holding when I was free from his intense stare and then I could finally have an inner gush about how beautiful his eyes were.Sea–green aquamarine eyes, they shone like two emerald crystals yet held attached to their gaze, a sinister appeal. Yet, they were the most gorgeous pair of eyes I had ever seen, adding even more to the mystique of his enigmatic aura. I figured that I should be leaving now and returning back to the ball, Alpha Axel may hav
ERIN I raced out of the ballroom, the amulet on my neck glowing brightly that the attendees had to shield their eyes from the harsh rays. Hastily, I entered into my chauffeur–driven automobile and the vehicle sped into the night. Magnus' voice in my head didn't stop until I had entered into the territory of my pack and when the large privacy gates of our mansion slid open, I couldn't be more glad to have returned back home. However, I still felt guilty that Alpha Axel was going to die tomorrow and I hadn't been able to save him. Immediately I stepped down from the car, I sensed a strange feeling in the air and it settled uncomfortably in my chest.Something felt wrong, so wrong. However, I shook the thoughts away and hurried into the mansion, excited to finally be at home and able to get some rest. My head hurt like crazy, I was drowsy from alcohol, all the bones in my body felt ran–over and my throat was still slightly parched. I walked into the living room and my eyes met
ERINI stood there, staring blankly ahead as Anexa's and Magnus' words echoed in my mind, their unfeeling smirks etched at the back of my mind."Anexa... Magnus..." I whispered, my voice shrunken from the well of emotions deep in me as I stood motionless.I couldn't believe it. My best friend and the man I loved were together? How was that even possible? When did it happen?Tears welled up in my eyes, and I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. I thought back to all the times Magnus had said he loved me, promised to be there for me, and take care of me. All the times Magnus had hit me, apologized and said he wouldn't do it again, only to do something worse the next time. Yet I still forgave him, and all the while, he was with my best friend, someone I trusted with my life.A wave of confusion washed over me. I had dealt with all of Magnus's abuse and toxicity, hoping that he would change someday. But now, it all seemed like a cruel joke.As I stood there, lost in my thoughts, I su
ERINWhere was I? I could not tell. But I could feel myself awake–ish, however I could not feel any form of physicality in me. I could not feel my arms or legs or head – they were not present and I felt invisible. At this point, it was like I only existed on a thin line of consciousness, powered to be somehow kept 'alive' by a force I couldn't quite understand right now. Is this the afterlife?Have I been delivered to the cold arms of death? But a dead person shouldn't be able to think, how can I do so then? I phantomed the answer to those questions and couldn't find a befitting response, leaving me very confused. If I was really dead, would I be able to think these thoughts? Would I also be able to hear the faint sounds of a voice in the distance? I paused my thoughts, listening closer to reason out the sound; who or what was making it, why it was making it and where it was coming from. And then after a quick moment, the sound became more audible and my eyes instantly wide
ERINI literally jumped in fear at the rememberance that Magnus had sent his men to kill Axel. That's why they're here. By the time my feet were landing on the floor, I found out that I was no longer in the ballroom.Looking around frantically, I realized that I was on the rooftop! How so? What had just happened? However, as I stared straight ahead, I spotted Axel! He was still at the same spot I left him, but now he was sitting down on a small stool and was no longer wearing a shirt. A golden locket I hadn't noticed earlier was on his neck and his body glistened with a thin layer of sweat. Every line and contour of his bare torso glimmered underneath the moonlight, the tightness of his muscles were visible with his every movement. I was wondering why he would be sweating despite being outside. But then, I saw that he had a bottle of scotch in his hands and a few empty bottles laid around him. My eyes widened as I watched him down the bottle in his hand at an alarmingly fast rat
ERINI ran away from Magnus' palace last night, never to return there again. I was back in my Kingdom, home sweet home, and reunited with my parents. It was quite a shocker yet, a blessing to see them both alive and well. I was happy to see that the castle's gates weren't torn down, to see the bright smiles on everyone's faces and to see that the ground wasn't stained with blood nor littered with dead bodies. Everything seemed perfect. Just as it was before. Although, I found it a bit surreal to absorb the phenomenon of rebirth – it was strange and to dwell on the thought was nerve wracking. I couldn't understand much about it and the more I tried to think about it or read up on it, the more confused I got. So I snapped all the books shut and returned them to the library. I would instead, spend the rest of my days thanking the Moon Goddess for this unexplainable blessing. -:-Later that afternoon, I decided to go running. My mind had been overwhelmed and rather very much scra
ERINHe showed me the amulet. In that moment, the memories of that fateful night flooded my mind like a tidal wave. It sucked me in like a whirlpool and I lived through the traumatizing scenes again. Anexa and Magnus' maniacal laughter sounded in the background as I saw the lifeless bodies of my parents, the ruins of my once–thriving kingdom, the haunting times the amulet glowed crimson red. Axel's voice echoed in my ears, his cries of pains as he fell to his death. I relieved the image of his lifeless, mangled body sprawled on the ground. My heart ticked like a bomb, and I feared that it might explode. "—Erin? Are you listening to me?" His voice made me flinch, snapping me out of my trance, and I blinked away my thoughts. I turned to face him, delivering another one of my fabricated smiles. With my index finger, I gently pushed his extended hand backwards. "Thank you sweetheart. Right now, I'm wearing an emerald dress. I doubt if a lavender amulet would watch my dress, don't
ERIN I felt myself emerge from what felt like a very deep slumber. My eyelids fluttered open, my gaze unfocused as I tried to make sense of where I was. But everywhere was dark, pitch black; I thought my vision was just blurred and hazy but a few seconds of clearing later, I was still surrounded in unending darkness. A faint furrow crossed my brows as I wondered what was happening, but they immediately knitted together in pain as a dull ache throbbed in my temples, pulsating with every one of my heartbeats. I grimaced, instinctively reaching up to cradle my head and give a short, soothing massage. My movements were slow and unsteady as I found my footing, stumbling up on my feet. I looked around the perimeter again and was greeted by the loneliness of the darkness. My cluelessness doubled, confusion and a sense of fear settling in. Where was I?"Erin." I heard a voice call out to me, it trailed out like the echoes of a lullaby.As the resounding voice rang in my ears, my heart
ERINMy eyes snapped open and met with the confusing yet surprising scene. Magnus' wolf that was by the rooftop was howling in pain, a deep slash on its forehead, throbbing with blood. Hovering over the defeated wolf that had sought to attack me, Aster positioned himself, blood trickling from his own form. Magnus' wolf had its back on the ground and blood oozed from it, Aster took a dive into its chest and tore away its flesh, killing it immediately. Glancing at me over his shoulder, Aster growled, his voice laced with warning, "Stay out of the way if you don't want to fucking die."I opened my mouth to speak, but then, my stomach began to hurt like crazy, like I was being stabbed in the stomach over again. I clutched my belly immediately, my legs giving out as the pain spread all over. Ramona. I had to talk to her. "Ramona? Can you hear me?" I tried to connect with her via mind–link. But there was no answer. I called again, desperation lacing my tone. "Ramona?" No answer.
ERIN The calming breeze seemed to come to a halt at that fateful moment. The silence shattering as the wolves infiltrated, about twenty of them. They snarled and growled, their eyes aglow with a sinister gleam, one that illuminated their evil intentions. My knees buckled as I trembled, I could feel immense fear pulsating in my veins as I casted a terrored gaze upon the menacing wolves. "Shit." I heard Axel say and I was startled, my attention immediately spiraled to him - for a moment there, I had been too consumed by fear and had forgotten he was here. He was up on his feet at that instant, the drowsiness in his eyes had surprisingly fizzled away. All I could see now was an unyielding resolve and a readiness to battle. His gaze had narrowed, laser-like and intense, as he locked eyes with the wolves.With a swift motion, he tossed his bottle of alcohol aside; the shattering of black-colored glass punctuating the tension in the air. And then, the transformation began.The snapp
