Don’t worry so much about this to tell you exactly this mark is very important and many covet for this mark and you go this even without trying and once given I can’t be taken by any other person so it may bring danger to you because of jealousy.
Just try to hide the mark and everything will be fine she gives me a reassuring smile to calm me which the job. She handed me the concealer she has in her table drawer to apply for now it was not the correct shade for my skin color she is a little tanned whereas I was a very pale color. But it did the job of covering the mark for now.
Thank god I wore a turtle neck today for class so nobody could see those bruises and marks of yesterday on my body. If everyone has seen the mark on the mark would I be alive right now? A shudder runs through my body at that thought.
I leave the room with many emotions: curiosity, frustration, fear, uncertainty, and anger. What should I do now? This mark can bring danger to my
Christian’s POVI Couldn’t control the urge to see her so I go up to take fresh air. The scenery from the top floor is too beautiful it is my favorite spot in our home. When I look from there I can see a dense forest the cool and clear air without any pollution is heaven. The fresh smell of the mud and trees clams my mind when I’m restless.I walk up the stairs remembering that girl my mate now. I smile forms automatically when her face comes into my mind. I couldn’t take her flushed face from my mind it’s becoming very difficult to concentrate on anything other than her.* * * * * * * * * *She is constantly on my mind, when Alex came to greet me in the morning I was very distracted by her thought that I barely heard any report he presented about the company and board of directors.He even asked me in the middle when I was spacing out smiling like a fool in front of all “What got you all mussy and giddy that you
My heart stopped for a second when she goes unconscious in my hands but from my mate bond I know she is alive which calms me. I scream for Riya in my head “SHIT, RIYA WHERE ARE YOU? COME OUT... RIGHT NOW” I know she will flinch at my words because I’m sure I was so loud and she wouldn’t have expected me to do that now. but do I care?She comes out just as I stop screaming at her. The door burst open with a thud and she comes out panicking. She stops when she sees Elizabeth unconscious in my arms and then comes rushing to us “What happened to her?” she looks at her looking for any injuries.“Ohh common she is just faking it just to be in Mr. Fords harms what in earth could happen to that country bumpkin” the girl next to me talks before I could explain anything to Riya anger surges through my body at her words but she is in her dreamland oblivion to anything muttering some nonsense “Really why didn’t I think of
The doctor does a check-up as I and Riya stand to the side looking at her. When he is done, he turns to us and askes “Did she had her food today?” questioning us.“We don’t know doctor, She is not a full-time worker here but a student who works as a part-timer. I don’t know if she had had her breakfast and lunch” Riya says “maybe we can ask if the other two who studies with her in her college who works here” She suggests.Doctor nods to the suggestion and Riya leaves the room in search of those two she was talking about. “Is everything okay doctor? She was just standing one minute ago and the next thing she goes unconscious. Is there any problem?” I enquire the doctor in the hope of getting any answers to my questions.“I don’t know exactly is the reason for her to go unconscious suddenly, it may be because of exhaustion because she must have missed her lunch or she must have gone through so
I take Elizabeth in my arms walking out of the room nodding at the two of them “Common on Riya we need to get going” I call Riya. She follows behind my back and I hear the other two steps, looks like they are worried for their friend. A smile forms on my face when I see someone else cares for my mate and worries about her well being makes me happy. When I’m not with her she will have someone to look after her. There is a small pain in my heart but there is also a relief.I reach my car and turn to Riya to ask her to open the door because my hands are full. But when I turn she is not there instead I see Susan and Jack. Susan comes forward to open the door. Riya comes out with the doctor at this time. I wanted to scold her for leaving without informing me but when I see the doctor with her my tongue is tied.She knows me enough to know what I’m thinking and gives me a sly look. I ignore her and get into the car with my beauty in my hands. She ente
“Sir we have reached the hospital” John’s voice jolts me back to reality. And I look to my side to find it empty Riya has already get down from the care and all are waiting for me and my love. I move and come out of the car with Elizabeth in my hands. Two nurses come out from the hospital with a starcher and I place my mate on it. The nurse Pulls the starcher towards the hospital.“I want her to be admitted to the VPI ward,” I say when they were about to take her to the general ward where a lot of other patients were present as well. The doctor nods at the nurse and they move her to the VPI ward on the top floor.When we enter the ward Elizabeth is placed on the bed and the doctors start his treatment. When he is done with everything he stands up and turns to us. He looks serious something must be wrong with her for him to look so serious. My thoughts start to drive to the worst possibility and I’m not willing to hear what the doctor
Elizabeth’s POVA muffled noise wakes me up. I slowly open my eyes to see what it is but instantly close them because of the harsh light entering my sight. After some time I slowly open them little by little when they adjust to the light what I see is a white ceiling and white walls around me. I’m in a room, an infusion drip attached to my right hand.What happened, I was in the hotel in front of a handsome man and when I weak up I’m in this room. The smell of disinfectant is present but not too strong. When I look at the door, I see Riya is talking with the doctor and Susan is standing beside her listening to whatever the doctor is saying. A few times she even cut doctors' words to ask something. I watch their interaction silently.Doctor motions towards the room I’m staying and they all turn to enter the room. And when Riya and Susan see that I’m up and sitting comfortably on the bed smile forms on their faces. I can’t help
Tears were flowing from Riya’s and Susan’s eyes I’m sure my eyes were wet as well. They both came forward and hugged me tightly securing me in their arms. It felt right like everything will be alright from now on. A nurse came and removed the infusion drip from my hand and told us we can start the discharge procedure and left. Riya went to complete the discharge procedure and Susan accompanied me forcing me to eat the food she brought from the shop when I was unconscious. When everything was settled it was already ten o’clock in the night. We left the hospital in a BMW car the seats are so comfortable to sit in. I was enjoying the ride, it was silent and Cousy. I don’t even remember when I drifted into sleep. But when I was dreaming I see a red eye staring at me from the darkness around me. It is looking right at me but its attention is not on me but something behind me. what’s there in there just a dark shadow why is it looking there I turn around only to see
I was sitting in the class with my head down busy scribing the pointers given by the professor regarding exams. When the siren rings indicating the end of the class everybody starts to leave the class towards the cafeteria. I watch them all go sitting in my place without any intention of leaving with them for the lunch.I have brought my lunch from the store when I walked to the college, A protein bar, and a bottle of water. I take out the protein bar to have a bite, My stomach is growling because of hunger. I didn’t have breakfast today and tried to fill my stomach with water from morning to till now. I unwrap the bar to take a bit from it. Just when I was about to have it in my mouth it get snatched from my hands.“What the hel-” I stand up angrily reaching my hands to take back from whoever took it from me but stop midway. Because the person standing in front of me with my bar in her hands is Susan. She has her eyebrows lifted daring me to take it
The forest stretched out in an endless sea of green, but his path was clear. Each step he took felt heavier than the last like the weight of unseen chains dragging him back. The crisp scent of damp earth and pine needles filled his senses, but it wasn’t enough to quiet the storm in his mind.Liam Black — Alpha of the Black Panther Pack — moved with predatory grace, his golden eyes sharp as a blade in the dim twilight. His sleek black coat, faintly visible through the open flaps of his cloak, shone faintly under the dying red light of the setting sun. His muscles coiled and uncoiled with each step as his internal battle raged on.Every instinct told him to turn around. To go back. To keep his distance from her.Elizabeth.Her name lingered in his mind like a stubborn thorn. The half-sister he didn’t ask for. The girl who had everything he didn’t.“She had a mother,” he thought bitterly, his jaw tightening. “I had him.”His father's face flashed in his mind — sharp eyes, a voice like t
The air hums with quiet tension as the group moves deeper into the heart of the forest. Shadows stretch long beneath the canopy, and the fading sunlight filters through in jagged beams, cutting through the mist that curls along the ground. Each step forward feels heavier than the last, as though the earth itself knows the gravity of what’s to come.The Ritual Stone stands at the center of a wide clearing, a massive slab of ancient rock with deep etchings carved by hands long gone. The sigils glow faintly as if they can already sense the magic in the air. It’s a sacred place — one that has seen countless rituals over the centuries. It will see another today.It is surrounded by small stone basins symbolizing different races of creatures. All the stone basins are connected to the Ritual Stone my magic.Elizabeth stands at the edge of the clearing, her fingers brushing the rough bark of a nearby tree. Her gaze is distant, eyes narrowed on the horizon where the sun slowly dips lower and l
The rhythmic thud of boots against the old wooden bridge echoes in the quiet night. Each step feels like a heartbeat, steady but loud, as if the entire world is holding its breath. Elizabeth's eyes remain half-closed, her head resting against Christian’s shoulder. She’s conscious, but barely. The chill of the night air bites at her wet clothes, but Christian’s warmth seeps into her, a living furnace of protection.Jenny walks just a step behind, her gaze flicking nervously over her shoulder. The forest behind them is a sea of shadowy figures and distant howls. None of the werewolves follow — not yet. But she knows better than to relax. “They’ll be back,” she mutters.“They’ll try,” Christian replies calmly, his eyes fixed on the far end of the bridge. His grip on Elizabeth tightens, just a fraction, as if the mere idea of someone threatening her again sends an unspoken fury through him. “But it won’t end well for them.”The other side of the bridge comes into view — a soft glow of lan
The icy river water clings to Elizabeth’s clothes, seeping into every fiber. She feels weightless but not in a good way. Her limbs are heavy, her body numb, and her vision blurs in and out like a flickering candle. But even through the haze, one thing remains clear — Christian's face.“Stay with me, Elizabeth,” Christian's voice is low, controlled, but there’s a crack of urgency beneath it. His crimson eyes burn with intensity, never once leaving hers as he cradles her like she’s the most fragile, precious thing in the world.Her lips twitch into a faint smile. “You look mad,” she whispers, her voice hoarse and barely audible. “Did I scare you?”“Terrified,” he admits, brushing a thumb over her cheek. His jaw tightens as he takes in the state she’s in — blood-soaked clothes, bruises along her neck, her breath uneven. His gaze shifts to Jenny, his eyes hardening into something colder. “Who did this to her?”Jenny, still panting and soaked from the river, glares back toward the forest.
Jenny’s heart thunders in her chest, her breaths sharp and shallow. The moment Tina and Austin step out from the side path, her instincts scream danger. Her eyes dart to Elizabeth, who, despite her weakened state, narrows her gaze with pure hatred. Blood trickles down Elizabeth’s arm, her pallor more ashen than before, but her eyes — sharp, calculating eyes — are still full of fire.“Well, well, look at you two,” Tina’s voice is laced with smug satisfaction as she steps forward, her smile as sharp as a wolf’s grin. Her eyes, once so familiar, now seem foreign, darkened by envy and betrayal. “Running away like rats. Did you really think you could escape us, Elizabeth?”"Still acting like a queen, huh, Tina?" Elizabeth sneers, though her words are weaker than she would have liked. She grips Jenny's arm for support, her legs wobbling like a newborn fawn. "Guess betrayal suits you better than humility."Austin growls low in his throat, his eyes glowing amber. He cracks his neck, flexing h
And apparently, in that particular moment, each and every god seems to be on their side. Elizabeth's sure she’s run through every ounce of good luck she’s ever been given in her century-long life, because the footsteps don’t stop in front of their hiding place. In fact, they continue down the path, further and further deep into the forest until they fade into the distance.“Holy shit,” Jenny breathes out, voice trembling slightly. “Holy shit .”“Ok. Ok,” Elizabeth says almost deliriously. “Where do we have to go to get to the bank of the river?”Jenny runs a hand through her sweaty golden hair, pushing it back and off of her face. “Somewhere to the west, I think.”Elizabeth takes a deep breath and resists the urge to groan in frustration. “You think? We’re in a life-or-death, run-for-our-lives situation, and that’s the best you can come up with?”“I don’t walk around in this forest like it is my home!” Jenny exclaims. She fumes up momentarily in irritation. “I’ve only been to this for
A heartbeat of time passes; and then all at once, each of them-- Elizabeth, and Jenny-- come to the same decision at the exact same time, completely independent of one another.Adrenaline passes through Elizabeth, blazing hot and sparkling bright like lightning. Move, her brain tells her. Elizabeth doesn’t even have time to think about what she’s doing. One second, she’s standing stock still in shock, and in the next, Elizabeth grips Jenny’s hands, dips at the waist, and gets ready to sprint.Elizabeth doesn’t have a second to fully process that before Tina opens her mouth to say with a snort, “And where do you think y-”Jenny points out a determined finger, and a dagger comes booming out of her hand. It hits Austin square in the chest, sending him catapulting backward out of the door to smash into the tree on the opposite side of the door.In the millisecond of silence immediately after, Jenny screams. “Run!”And Elizabeth takes off.Her ankle shrieks at her to stop as she vaults ove
“Elizabeth…” Jenny says, clearly reading the determination in Elizabeth’s eyes. “I’m sorry. We need you back at the manor. We will try again, please bear with the pain.”Jenny steals her heart and forces herself to hurt Elizabeth again. Elizabeth looks over at her in shock, but a mask of determined resignation coats her face.A wave of nausea spills into Elizabeth’s chest. She can’t stop her voice from trembling as she asks, “Are… are you sure?”“We don’t have a choice right now…”It’s silent in the room for a moment, the drape of quiet only periodically interrupted by the slow drip drip drip of the water. “How are we going to do this?” Elizabeth asks after a second.Don’t think about it don’t think about it don’t think about it“I- “ Jenny darts around the room for anything that could help them remove the chain and something falls into her eyes. She moves to pick it up from the ground.“I- we have a knife.” Jenny swallows hard and palms an angry-looking blade where it rests in her ha
“Did Christian send you? Have you seen him recently? Is he alright?” Elizabeth asks the desperate curiosity tingeing her tone.Jenny is shocked as well, she stands still looking at Elizabeth with what looks like awe and disbelief. Elizabeth’s eyes glow in the dim room brightly like Panther’s. Her pitch-black hair is now turned into auricomous. Elizabeth’s questions snap her out of the trance.“I- No, I didn’t, I don’t know I think it’s bad,” Jenny says with a sigh. She clicks her fingers once more, and the chains tying Elizabeth’s ankles fall apart.Elizabeth winces in relief as the blood flows back into her swollen ankle and bruised wrists. “What do you mean?” she asks as soon as the tingling pain starts to subside.“He- It’s just been… bad since you left,” Jenny says quietly. She shakes her hair and looks over at Elizabeth, who bares her teeth at her. Jenny jumps instinctively, hands up in defense.On unsteady legs, Elizabeth pulls herself to her feet. She firmly ignores the way the
