Hugo parked the car outside his house at the pack lands, Zeke came over,
“things got that bad at home that you had to actually choose?”
“Yup”
Hugo replied as he opened a bottle of beer, the two young men watched the waves roll onto the shore as they took a sip of beer,
“I cannot believe you were going to reject her”
Hugo thought back to that he called Sarai to end things, and when she said that she would cut him out of her life; it scared Hugo to the very core of his human and supernatural being. Hugo came here to Zeke who took him the pack elder to give him insight,
FLASHBACK STARTS
Hugo told Zeke the entire story and how he was afraid that Sarai would be put in harms way everyday he stayed with her; he could not do that to her, she was innocent in this entire supernatural war of Rockshore Bay; Zeke could see the turmoil this decision
It was exactly a week ago since Sarai and Hugo had met and already, they had their first disagreement and now going away for the weekend. Sarai woke up feeling nauseous with all the butterflies in her stomach; but that did not keep her down, it was already six am and she had to meet Hugo at the mall by eight. Sarai double checked her little suitcase and her toiletry bag one more time and made sure she had packed cute day dresses and some sexy evening wear.“Perfect”Sarai let out a small sigh and looked at her bed side clock, how was it six thirty-five already! Sarai grabbed her towel and got into the bathroom, once she got out the clock already read ten minutes past the hour of seven am,“Fuck”Sarai threw on a pair of black yoga pants, a cream tank top and white sneakers and tied her hair up in a messy bun;“Sarai, you’re going to be late”“Sadie, he was twenty minutes late for our coffee dat
The door of the bungalow was opened by a middle-aged man that was in a floral shirt, and cargo shorts, he came down and took the bags from Hugo and walked inside; as Sarai and Hugo walked up the front porch stairs, a middle-aged woman greeted Sarai and Hugo at the door with refreshing ice-cold champagne cocktails, Sarai looked over at Hugo;“I am impressed”.“You ain’t seen nothing yet my darling”.Sarai blushed as Hugo held her around her waist and led her to the back garden, there was a beautiful maple wood patio, it had a white umbrella opened, a table and two chairs set up, the patio overlooked the most tropical garden, and a path that led down to the beach. Hugo took Sarai by the hand and they walked down the path hand in hand to the beach, it was picturesque, something you would see on a postcard, white sand beach with the most crystal azure blue water.“Hugo, this place is a piece of paradise”&ldquo
Sarai and Hugo sat at the edge of the pool and continued talking, the more Sarai learnt about Hugo the more she listened to her heart, for some reason she knew that this man is destined for her. Hugo knew he was hiding major parts of his life from Sarai and that sooner or later the truths will reveal themselves; but he did not want to worry about that right now, he just wanted to admire this raven haired queen that captured his heart and he had no intention of trying to take it back.Hugo took Sarai by her waist and placed her on his lap, her toes just touching the water, Sarai smirked and leaned forward, she nibbled playfully on Hugo’s ear and whispered,“Come up to the bedroom after fifteen minutes”“Why?”“Just do what I ask of you, simple”Sarai got off Hugo’s lap and went up to the room, she pulled out a pair of sexy black lace lingerie and a lace bralette, she put on sheer black thigh high stock
The next morning Sarai woke up before Hugo, she looked at the time on her phone, it was ten in the morning, she could feel a whole in her tummy, she got out of bed slowly and Hugo stirred, she placed a pillow in his arms; she was going to make breakfast and surprise him. After a quick shower, Sarai slipped on a pink strap top and a pair of shorts and beach sandals, she walked into the kitchen and Aggie shot up from her chair, she was trembling slightly,“Sit down, enjoy your coffee”“Ma’m you should have called me if you wanted something”Sarai reached up into the cabinet and pulled out the waffle mixture, Aggie ran to grab it from Sarai, Sarai put up her hand to stop Aggie,“I want to make breakfast for Hugo, you can help me”“But Ma’m”“Hugo will not say anything, I am allowed to do things for… errrm… my boyfriend?”Sarai shrugged and Aggie laughed
Hugo chased the imposter wolf deep within the forest, he leaped and got ahead of the brown wolf. Growling and saliva dripping from the black wolf’s mouth,“Today, you marked yourself for death”“Alpha, have mercy please”“Mercy… let me send a message to your Alpha”“Wh-h-hat message am I to take back?”Hugo lunged at the brown wolf whom he had backed into a tight corner, his jaws grasped the neck of the brown wolf; his teeth sinking into his jugular veins, Hugo could feel the blood, he snapped the brown wolf’s neck, he heard the whine of the brown wolf and spat the lifeless body from his mouth, Hugo’s thoughts were interrupted by a mind-link from Bernard,“Alpha, Madam Sarai has fainted”“I’m on my way”Hugo darted off to the house and transformed into his human form; Bernard was waiting at the edge of the steps and handed a towel to Hugo,“How is she?”“Still unconscious, Aggie is with her”“Okay, get my clothes to the guest bedroom downstairs and I will shower and change”“Yes sir”
The rest of the weekend Sarai and Hugo skinny dipped in the pool or private beach for hours, soaking up each other’s love and affection… endless love making from dawn till dusk, every corner of the house had been touched by their naked bodies, heard their moans of pleasure and love. Sarai and Hugo had built a bond unbreakable, unshakable… at least that is what Sarai believed and it was something Hugo wanted to believe, but his secrets were eating away at him, so on their last night at the bungalow, Hugo arranged for them to be completely alone at the house, he had Aggie prepare a delicious dinner, bought a beautiful black dress and heels for Sarai, he left it up in their bedroom with a note attached.“Wear this tonight for dinner, see you at 8pm. I love you”Sarai walked out of the bathroom patting down her damp hair, she saw the stunning black dress, with silver thread straps , she held it up against her body, it was a deep back and low-cut neckline. Sarai red the note and smiled; al
Sarai woke up all snug in the arms of the man she loves, unfortunately the most romantic and most eventful weekend had come to an end; later this afternoon they would be heading back down to Rockshore. Sarai curled up even more in Hugo’s arms, now that she had spent so much time with him; she did not want to go back home, she wanted to see him every day.Slowly getting out of bed Sarai, went into the shower, her eyes filled with tears; the thought of not having Hugo next to her upset her. The shower door opened, and Hugo stepped in, he turned her around and kissed her eyes.“Do we have to go home today?”“Yes sweetheart, but I promise we will see each other often”“Just one more day… please baby”Hugo smiled, letting out a little chuckle, he leaned down and kissed Sarai,“Parting is such sweet sorrow”Sarai rolled her eyes and smiled at how cheesy Hugo was and especially this early in the morning.“Oh shut up”The two got out of the shower and were getting ready to go for a nice walk
Sarai got home late that evening, she felt lonely and incomplete without Hugo holding her and kissing her; Sarai sat in her room and went through her phone gallery, looking at all the cute pictures of them from the weekend they had just shared together. While having dinner with her family, her parents ask about her girls weekend“It was nice, I needed that”A small smile crept up on Sarai’s face and her sisters noticed and smiled at each other,“What did you girls get up to?”“Just poolside chilling and late night drives”“You girls should have been more careful; there is news of large feral wolves roaming around at night”Sarai thought back to the day when that wolf tried to attack her, she still did not know why the large black wolf protected her; it felt oddly familiar…“Sarai… Sarai!”“Yes… hmm what happened?”“Wo
Peeking from around the corner, pretending to talk on the phone, the girl with shocking pink hair stood with her back facing Sarai; she waited till she heard the elevator doors close and looked around to make sure she was alone. Sarai was gone and Hugo was weak.The pink haired girl this time, did make a call,“Hey, it’s me. I have an update for you”The pink haired girl informed the person o n the other end of the phone of the huge fight and the rejection that had taken place; that she herself had seen Hugo grow weaker.“It would be the perfect opportunity to strike Ocean Crest and Hugo; a downed Alpha is a weak pack”.Hugo laid on his floor in the fetal position. Tears streaming down his face. Everything had come crashing down now. Hugo could hear his pack cries of agony through the mind link; they had all felt the pain of the rejection; but nobody knew the agony he was in physically and emotionally. Hugo could hear
Many months passed, Hugo was losing his mind and the Madcrest manes had become more aggressive; Hugo had become withdrawn and slept with more she-wolves and human woman than he could count. Sarai had achieved her dreams, and she was moving on with life; or at least trying.Sitting in her room Sarai looked back at her life and how she believed things would have been different by now between her and Hugo, instead she found out that he was leading her on and then leaving her hanging; by this time, she had decided to give it one last shot, she was going to fly back to Rockshore and do whatever it takes to win Hugo back. She packed up her bags and headed to Rockshore.Hugo was in bed smoking after sleeping with three women at the same time; he left them sleeping in his bed, it had been a week since he read any of Sarai’s texts and a month since he returned any of her calls. Hugo stood on his balcony and looked at his phone; he saw messages from Sarai and that she would be in town in a few
The sound of the ECG machine kept resonating in Sarai’s head, she thought back to the day when everything her life turned upside down.Flashback StartsHugo was poisoned because she wanted to prove that she was worthy of being the Luna of the pack, instead she placed the man she loves in harm’s way. Hugo opened his eyes, Sarai’s eyes were red from crying, she held her rosary in her hand as she held Hugo’s hand in her left hand and prayed for his well-being.Hugo opened his eyes and looked at Sarai who was chanting and praying as she rubbed small circles on the back of his hand, this perfect woman was trying and doing everything she could to fit into his world, a world he is still trying to find his own feet in. Leaving her at the house with no form of protection was his biggest mistake and what if something had happened to her… what if he did not get there in time; he was so weak that a small bit of the wolfsbane rendered him immobile and unconscious; it was Sarai that saved him.His
Sarai was alone in the dark passageway that led to the bunker, she was cold and scared... she sat on the bed in the bunker and waited... her heart filled with anxiety and her thoughts running wild.If she was to be the Luna of this pack she would have to show up in the face of danger, Hugo was always protecting her... she needed to protect him as well.Against her better judgement, Sarai went out of the bunker and snuck into the room; under her side of the bed, she had a pistol hidden, she loaded the bullets when she heard something go bump downstairs... She was not alone in the house... someone or something had come in and judging by the presence she felt... it was here looking for her.Sarai walked out the room slowly into the hallway of the dimly lit house, she saw the shadow of a wolf lurking downstairs, she knew it wasn't Hugo... she held her pistol loaded to fire as she walked down the stairs, "Show yourself"The wolf hidden behind the fining room wall, grinned and morphed back
For weeks on end, Hugo was on tender hooks; Sarai and him had numerous fights and arguments about her security measures, his family was questioning him on his financial status and where he was living; his mother crying and fighting every day on the phone and the growing threats and loss of pack members hanging over his head; Hugo felt as if the weight of the entire world now rested upon his shoulders and he was getting crushed by the weight of it all.Every time Sarai brought up the ridiculous security measures put in place she and Hugo ended fighting, she had started seeing less and less of him as the weeks turned into months; tonight, Sarai had planned a special dinner, she wanted to show Hugo her love and appreciation and that she was sincerely sorry for all the stress she had added to his life, she sat all dressed up in a pink skirt with thigh high slits on the right hand side and a lace zip up blouse to match and Perspex heels with stud work, her hair was set pin straight and she
Questions filled Sarai’s head, Hugo could see the gears in her head turning; Sarai’s head turned as she heard the howls of other wolves and a large grey wolf appeared with board shorts and a vest. Hugo slipped them on and looked back at Sarai who watched as the wolf bowed to her and then backed away into the darkness of the deep forest.Hugo held out his hand for Sarai who hesitated a little, but as she looked into the eyes of the man she loved she reached out and took his hand, they walked in silence back to the coffee shop. Hugo then cleared his throat, starling Sarai who was lost deep in thought.“Call your parents, tell them you will be coming home soon with me”.Hugo’s voice was hoarse, Sarai looked at him blankly,“They don’t even know about you… about us…”“We will tell them everything”“EVERYTHING?”Hugo nodded and Sarai called her family, her voice trembling. Hugo and Sarai arrived at her house and Sarai ran into the arms of her mother; Sarai’s father was infuriated and grabb
