3 Finally safe

2022-06-29 17:08:04He took a deep breath, trying to control his temper as I could see his jaw clenching and unclenching. “There is no cool in acting strong.”
I pushed the pizza away and grabbed my bag before standing up, “I’m finished eating. Is this all? Then I need to go.”
I started to walk away and I somehow anticipated for him to stop me and throw some lectures at me but he didn’t. Instead, he was quiet as I was leaving.
I closed the door behind me, and I caught sight of his emotionless face watching me. I couldn’t even read his mind, but that’s none of my business now.
The sky was blue and there were a few students left at the school at this time. I don’t mind going home at this time, but I could think of the time and couldn’t help but imagine all the bad things that my stepmother would do to my aunt. My feet instantly hastened with just the thought.
I go on with my plan again. This will be the last time I go to this school. This will be the last night we’ll spend the night there at my stepmother’s place. Tonight, I’ll pack my aunt’s belongings discreetly. With the money that my stepbrother gave us earlier, we’ll finally leave that damn place.
I had already spotted some cheap apartments to temporarily stay in and I’ll work two jobs to support both of us. We’ll somehow survive, I know we will.
As I got closer to the house, I felt someone’s presence behind me…as if being followed. I grabbed my bag tightly, not wanting to get robbed as my savings are here. Is it a robber? A kidnapper? An assaulter? Panic filled every step I took and sweat formed on my forehead.
Whoever it was, I had to make sure I could fight for myself. I’m strong. I know I am.
I continued walking normally, trying to act cool, and using my peripheral vision to see who it was, but found no one.
Weird.
I quickened my pace and it felt like whoever was following me also fastened. Gritting my teeth, I tightly clutched my bag and started to dash forward into the streets and empty alleys. Times like this just make me wish that this area was a bit busier and had cars that would sometimes pass by…just to give me comfort that I would have someone to ask if ever I needed help.
I continued running, my breath running out as my heart felt like bursting from the adrenaline rush. I groaned in pain as I felt a sharp pain in my back, feeling like a big hand scratched it. I tried to reach out my hand to my back and was right.
It feels like a claw mark. I hissed in pain as I felt blood coming out. I have to get to my aunt sooner! I sniffed the air and smelled a foul smell, like a street dog.
Was I just…clawed by some wild dog? In the streets?
I turned around to confirm it and saw a figure. I was partially right…but instead..it was not just some dog….It looks like…
Almost like a wolf? But a big wolf. I don’t know, I’m not sure as I couldn’t see clearly with the sky turning dark and the figure behind me was too quick in a rampaging, biting down the nearby tree and then running around. I was rooted to my spot as I didn’t know what to do next. I wanted to drag my feet and run while the attacker was still distracted but a gasp came out of my mouth as he tried to jump on me.
I shrieked and closed my eyes, anticipating the attack but a cold wind brushed past me.
Two men appeared in front of me, their backs facing me. I couldn’t clearly see them as my mind was going hazy and I fell to the ground, the pain in the wound on my back now increasing and I felt like being burned. I wanted to throw up and I tried to catch my breath.
“Finally, these bastards finally showed up. That was easy, let’s hunt the others, Alpha,” I heard one of them say with a cheery and familiar voice. Where did I hear it?
“Catch the others. I’ll take care of her.” A deep intimidating voice ordered, and the man with a cheery voice replied, “Alright, Alpha.”
I wanted to open my eyes but all I could see was the fire. A huge raging fire and a tall man carrying me, his musky and earthy scent lingering on me.
“You’re finally safe, my mate.” That was all I could hear before blackness took over me. As much as I wanted to fight over the sleepiness, his arms were comfy and offered a warm feeling to me.

Alpha Ace’s POV “Do 20 more push-ups. I’ll assign you to your partners later.” I ordered my pack, training all the new pups. “How are the things I ordered?” I mind-linked my beta, Markus and he appeared later on from behind the trees. “It has arrived, Alpha.” He replied in my link. I looked back to my members and ordered my pack warrior to train them in my stead. I motioned for Markus to go to my study, and as soon as we arrived, a silly smirk played on his lips as he looked at the official papers that he presented to me. “Here are the documents you asked for, Alpha.” His eyebrows furrowed, “Are you sure this will work?” I sent daggers to him, “Are you questioning my decision, beta?” He’s the only one in my pack who would dare to mock or tease me, and he should be thankful enough that I consider him my friend. Markus shrugged, “No... but it's strange... why did you pick that school?” He asked, “Not like I’m complaining...” I sighed. Here comes his way of getting things d

I gasped, feeling like the air was being sucked out of me. My heartbeat was beating like crazy and cold sweat fumed over me. I remember being followed and almost getting robbed, but being clawed and almost by a... monster. Was it... a dream? I thought it was a dream. Looking around, I was back in my room. Confusion laced over me as I could not remember how I got here. I tried to gain balance, but my feet clamored and I fell to the floor. If it was a dream, why are my feet so weak? And I feel like I just ran a marathon. I breathed deeply, the house was eerily quiet. Just then, the door opened, cutting my own thoughts. I could see Bryce, my stepbrother coming in and he sighed in relief, “Thank goodness your awake, Itzy.” He then helped me up, “What are you doing on the floor?” I cleared my throat, “I was just... trying to stand up.” I said, and I couldn’t help but ask, “Do you know how I got here in my room?” He nodded, placing me on the edge of my bed and grabbing a glas

He looked somewhere my age yet he was rugged, which made him a bit more mature. “Good evening. Is Kira Itzayana Fernandez here?” the man asked. “The Al-I mean master is already waiting for you.”As he said that, I felt like he was familiar. I looked back one last time at the people who I call family. To my father who was avoiding eye contact, to my stepmother who was wiping her fake tear, and to my stepbrother, who was the only one decent enough to feel sorrow as he grabbed my arm, not wanting to let go of me.“No. This is not true. You’re not going.” He said firmly, almost begging. I looked at him in the eye, making sure he would see how dead I am, and removed his hands from me. I turned back to the man in front of me. Sucking in a deep breath, I bit my lip and feigned courage to even walk to him.I have to accept this. I have to. He then nodded at me and directed me to the black car waiting outside. “You won’t bring anything with you?” He asked curiously. I shook my head, “I

“You know, I’m not here to play around.”He clenched his jaw, “Neither am I. You think I like having a human as my mate?”A scoff came out of my mouth. A human as his mate? He must have read too many werewolf stories in his past times for him to think it is like this.“That is not the point. The point is you telling me you’re a werewolf. I mean we’re in the 21st century, Mr. Jones.”“Ace. Call me Alpha Ace.” He corrected, standing tall and towering over my figure.I didn’t dare quiver but instead stood my ground as I faced him, “That alpha word again. I heard that from Mark too.”I didn’t dare quiver but instead stood my ground as I faced him, “That alpha word again. I heard that from Mark too.”Hearing me say that made him clench his jaw as if I said something hurtful, something that hurt his pride. “Because I am an alpha, and I am the leader of my pack.” He said. “I already bought you, so you’re mine now.”Pack? The way he said strange words makes me doubt if he’s even sane.Goodn

I closed the door and slumped back to the bed, feeling my eyes close instantly. This is just a dream, Kira. It will all be over soon…Except it wasn’t. When I woke up the next day, it was too good to be true. Or not.Mark was already waiting by the door with a food tray in hand. “Here’s your food,” said Mark, smiling at me. “The food is at the packhouse, and I think you are not ready to face the others yet.” This is what I hadn’t experienced compared to the time I lived in my father's and step mothers house. I guess I shouldn’t judge my new place. Although my physics teacher and schoolmate transferee are here and I’m confused, it's a bit…not disappointing.Instead, I’m expecting the worst. Be a sex slave?Although the “alpha” he calls him has assured me he won’t do anything like that, I can’t help but still feel worried for myself. I only have myself after all.“I didn’t know what food you like to eat so I chose everything that human likes. You can dig in now.” Mark left me to f

“I’ll leave you alone with her. Just call me if you need me, alright?”I really couldn’t imagine…this would happen. My aunt is alive. I am not in my father's and stepmother’s hands.I am free.Except I am in a new place, not a completely new world with people telling me they are “werewolves.”Mark then decided to tour me around the pack but all I could receive were stares.Not cold stares but confused stares.It was both exhilarating and awkward for me…as someone who is not used to getting people’s attention…And the air smells full of tension. It’s overbearing that I could feel that I can’t breathe. all I could do was act normal as if they were invisible. “You’ll get used to them.” Mark mumbled, “don’t worry the pack members won’t eat you.”I paused at that, felt a bit scared for my life and he chuckled, “I am just joking. You’re too tensed up, and Alpha Ace wouldn’t want that.”“Why?” I asked.He smirked, “Of course, you are his mate. Everyone knows that here. They just want to

Can he just leave? Can he sense my discomfort? How uneasy I am now that he is here? How can I even start my training with him? I hope he just walked by and happened to see us and decided to say hi. And not stay here for long… But judging from the looks of it, I think not… I stared back at him, “Morning, Alpha.” He blinked as if not expecting me to greet him. He cleared his throat, “Morning. How’s the training?” “It’s…good,” I replied. “It’s just…new to me.” He glanced at Mark, “Are you even training her properly?” “I am. We were just going to get on the good part but you butted in.” Mark replied and I glanced at him… Uhm…as far as I can remember, Mark is working under him? How can he talk to his boss like that? It seemed to happen always that Alpha Ace let it pass. He must be used to it. “Move. I’ll do it personally.” Mark scowled at him, “Uhh, I thought you were in a meeting?” “They canceled it.” He simply replied, his sharp jaw clenching and unclenching. “Are you su

I was too stunned to speak, too confused to even move. His lips started to move on mine and I was trapped in my thoughts. I could smell his musky earthy scent, his masculine cologne lingering. His lips tasted warm and comforting. But I could see as he close his eyes, savoring it. My body started to move against my thoughts and kissed him back. Each stroke felt like electricity was traced on my lips. It was gratifying and magnetizing me, pulling me back. This made him smirk against our kiss, enjoying this. But what I hate more is that I am…enjoying it too. I hate to admit this but…So much so that I wanted to stop all my complaints and continue this somewhere. Goodness. His hands caressed my cheek, down to my neck, and my arms. He then snaked his arm around my waist and wrapped it carefully. I felt him feeling it more as he said, “Done complaining?” I instantly bit his lips and he pulled away. “What was that?” “You kissed me without permission.” “Why? You liked it too.” Then d

“He just really takes after you. Seeing him reminds me of when you were first staying at the pack. Reckless, disobedient, and immature.”I chuckled, I guess Adrian really takes after me. I can’t deny that. Ace’s eyes were droopy. I let him sit in the living room and made him coffee in the kitchen. When I was done, he was not sitting on the sofa anymore. I searched for him and made my way upstairs to my children's bedroom.Ace was sitting at the edge of Kaira’s bed. He was silent, just staring at our child, Adalric. He tucked his blanket and kissed him on his forehead. Ace then walked to the other side of the bed where Kaira is sleeping. I see our daughter hugging him in her sleep. "Love you, daddy."I can't help but smile sadly. Ace is so busy that he can only see our children once in a while. I know he really misses them, so much that he ditches his work always, just to see his children. I stood in the hallway, watching them. This is their only free time. I should not interfere.A

"Ahhh!"An earth-shattering cry woke me up from my senses. I immediately stood up from the sound. It was from the living room of my throne. Ten years had passed by and I had been kept busy with my throne, my three children, and missing Ace.He had been busy managing the pack….Just then, the realization hit me.No...it can't be...Grabbing my wand from my drawers, I placed it on my waistband to conceal it, making sure it is within my reach. I headed to the living room as soon as possible and I was frozen at the sight in front of me.There, lying on the ground is a child, red blood splattered all over his body.I hurried over and carried the child, my heart beating frantically. I checked his pulse. Still not sure, I also checked his breathing and-"Prank!"I stopped at what the child yelled to me, chuckling.I stopped for a moment...and laughed with him. Laughed at my stupid overthinking and sighed in relief. I chuckled. He never learns."How was it, mommy?" Asked Kaira, the youngest am

ALPHA ACE’s POV 10 YEARS LATERBeing a father has not been easy, but I am aware that Kira's job is three times harder than mine.I was staring at my wife as we both lay in bed.I breathed in deeply, smelling her shampoo, the scent I associate with my own house, and I sank deeper into her long hair. I looked into the identical eyes that had made me fall in love."Adrian is training for his alpha duties, and Adalric and Kaira are at their spell class, babe," I said with a devilish grin after thinking, "It has been a while since we are left alone."Kira innocently lifted her beautifully groomed eyebrows and asked, "So?”What do you mean by "so"? I sneered. I leaned in and chuckled, "Oh honey, you're playing so hard to get now. You know exactly what I'm referring to.." I slowly trained my hands on her shoulders and she gave me the look.“We're elderly and already have kids, honestly, babe, why do you get that much stamina?” I laughed as I jokingly patted my hand away.To show her how har
Alpha King's Damsel in Distress 94 First fight
Two months passed by. After a few brainstorming, Ace and I finally decided on a name.We decided to name him Adrian Zaire.Adrian because I want it to start with the letter A like Ace. Means Dark in Latin and Rich in Greek.Dark because I had given birth to him during the time of darkness, but I knew he is going to bring me the bounty of happiness.And Zaire because my baby is fond of Rivers.He likes to stare at the waters that I had to build a water fountain on the entrance of our throne. I also transferred to the river near here so I could watch over him when he decided to play around when he grows up. I woke up with a fresh start, wanting to go and take Adrian and let him have some vitamin D by letting him bathe in the morning sun.After spending time with my little Adrian and breastfeeding him, I made him burp and made his return to sleep. He looks healthier now and looks more alive as he had some melanin. Baby Adrian is also growing up at a normal rate, so I am glad I could sti
Alpha King's Damsel in Distress 93 Witch Realm’s Aftermath
Waking up every day is not as depressing as it used to be.Since our baby was born, I woke up feeling lighter and happier.And I’ve never been contented in life than this…He’s our ray of sunshine. As soon as I wake up smiling, I would cuddle with Ace, and leave before he’ll do something with his hard-on and push it to me….I must save myself…..Then I would go to the nursery room that Ace made for our baby.The room was simple and adorable. With wood carvings and more cushions and mats so that when he grows up, he would not get full of wounds and stumble around.Ah, the thought of a child running around a house excites me. But our baby still hasn’t grown. He is still a delicate baby and a week old. So I am taking extra care when dealing with him. Plus, we still haven’t chosen a name for our baby.So it has been a week since we have been calling him our baby. I tried to list names, but I am still stressing over what to name him. I thought I could name him Selyse if he were a girl

“Ah, Kira!” Arya yelled.Alpha Magnus chuckled, “Who was it who was tearing up after seeing Kira faint? And then fainted too?”“Tsk, leave Ace.”“Bastard, stop mocking me.”“Oh shut up, who was it couldn’t bear to watch my birthing?” Asked Alpha Kamilah, her eyes looking at her mate and Alpha Magnus went quiet.“Your baby is a fighter. He ate his twins…you could have birthed to three…” said Gusev.“What?”“Shh, she doesn’t have to know that.” Everyone is here. Laughing. And it felt nice that it felt like a get-together again. Something like a reunion. As if were old friends trying to bond again. HiExcept we have a plus one now.I felt a bit sad that I couldn’t show my baby to my mother and let my mom carry her.How nice would it be if mom was still alive…I shook my head no. I should not be thinking about that. She’s here in my heart and she’s watching us.I am sure she is happy.Suddenly, the air started to get chilly as Alpha Magnus spoke up, “Now that a tri blood is born, an heir

“I think I am going to…GIVE BIRTH TO OUR CHILD NOW!!” I couldn’t maintain my composed and yelled from pain as Arya instantly ran down to call for Ace while alpha Kamilah stay calm beside me.“Okay calm down. deep breaths,” she said to me.“I am calm!” I yelled, “It’s just painful! It’s coming!”Alpha Kamilah gulped, “I have been pregnant but I had never tried to be the one helping how to labor. Oh goodness, how to do this.”Seemed that alpha kamilah was the one more panicking than me and it was my first time seeing her flustered like this.Lana came to my side and instantly conjured a bed and made me lie down on my back. She then grabbed towels, a bowl, and some necessary things that all I could see was darkness.“Okay, Queen Kira, please stay calm, I am here, I am experienced in matters like this.” She then made me open my legs and cut my dress. She then seems to put something inside me.alpha kamilah stayed and I grabbed her hand for support.goodness, if the baby comes without Ace,

“We believe that you could free us.” lana said and smirked, “show them what you trained for.”I nodded, preparing my hands and my fire. A family figure then came to me, nearing me as he bowed at me, “Luna Kira!” He was gasping for air, “I apologize, we only found you now.”I raised my eyebrows at him, “Took you long to save me.”“I t was part f ourplan. the alpha said not to intervene.”I nodded, “then let’s go, I still have something to do.”I burn the whole place. Burning any spell that Haelyn managed to plant everywhere.I stood at the highest place and yelled. “Everyone,” I yelled, and when I still did not get their attention, Beta Mark growled, and Lana behind me offered to hold her wand for me.‘Use this so they can hear you.”I nodded, so like a microphone…I cleared my throat, “Dear Witches of the Witch ream. It is I, Princess Kira, daughter of the late Queen Selyse, who stood here before you and claim my throne. I am going to save you from the harm that the past Queen Haelyn

“My Kira, finally I apologize for only acting now.” His gaze was back, and he looked deeply into my eyes. I smiled at him, “you said to wait for me.”I had waited for this, I had ways believed it would eventually happen. and now it is happening, he’s free from his chains, He did not hesitate and embraced me, “I am glad you are still alive. I apologize for hitting you I have to do that. I could not move even though I resist, I was fighting her spell, and when you weakened her, I could finally control myself.``I put my finger on her lips, “shh, at least you are a spell now.”He nodded, his eyes tearing up then made me stand up, ‘They’re coming.”“Who?” I raised my eyebrows and he seemed to have seen something as he pushed me aside, “Wait, behind you!”Haelyn ran to me, grabbing a knife and almost hitting me when an arrow shot at the door, hitting her hand and impaling her there. I frowned, not being able to see clearly. From the direction of the knife, I blinked. “Missed us?” a fam
