009: A coward

last update Last Updated: 2024-08-02 22:05:33

Sean had been called several things in this miserable life of his.

He has been called a weakling, taboo, cursed, The Mute Heir - the cursed Alpha.

And even though growing up those discriminating words and taunts hurt like hell, by the time he was a teenager he had learnt to just ignore them - that was wrong. More like he learnt to accept and embrace them.

With time he allowed these words to become his branding, what he is, his identity and it was easier, way easier for him because at least it stopped hurting when he already came in terms with his fate and just accepted that this was the destiny written for him.

To be a taboo.

To be in the shadows.

And goddess above how much he loved staying in the shadows, how much he loved being invincible and just watching everyone else go about their lives without saying a word - not that he could.

And the shadows were exactly where he had hid, as he watched the girl he had grown to love, his mate - well, ex mate - the love of his life, ride away i

I think it's a very good story so far. There were a few grammar errors but not bad. I'm hoping you continue on with the story because I'm hoping Sean gets it together and goes after her. So please write some more and what ever happened to her Wolf and can Sean's wolf talk for him?

    Isabella had no idea just how far Nightingale was far but she was never anticipating for it to be this far.They had spent three days on the road - stopping to camp when night fell and starting the journey all over again when it was morning.’This was the fourth day and she really was tired of sleeping in bushes and submitting herself to the harshness of mosquitoes.She needed proper, beautiful rest that was beyond the three hours they steal at night and she needed a proper bath, and a proper bed to lay on.“We are almost home, Bee.” Her brother said with a grin when he noticed her frown but she only rolled her eyes.“You said that yesterday -” She grumbled squeezing up her nose, “and the day before yesterday.”Jay laughed, ‘True but I mean it this time. Once we get through the gates of the ruins it will only take a couple of hours before we are in Nightingale.”She nodded although she held her breath or hope on that.“I am trying to imagine what it is going to be like, being back th

    Isabella had no idea if she had fallen asleep or maybe the men had simply drugged her because next thing she knew she was waking up from a deep slumber - only the goddess knew how long - and she was staring into hard eyes as her vision adjusted. She shrieked. “Uh-uh, princess,” The man with the eye patch said, shaking his head and looking away, “the agreement was, you travel silently. Enough of all those yellings.” She bit her lip and looked around frantically ignoring the way her heart was beating wildly against her chest. It was already very dark, she noticed and swallowed hard. She knew she had to control her nerves somehow, and find a way to tame her fears. Surely if these men wanted to kill her, they would have done that a long time ago - right? “Where is my brother and what have you done with him?” The man shifted his gaze to her and smiled, “The young prince is fine and in the carriage behind us. He is alive -for now. As long as you co-operate.” She nodded. “What do yo

    Although Isabella didn't react or say anything, her bewilderment must have clearly shown on her face because the lady’s smile suddenly dropped and she peered at Isabela with dark eyes and tilted head.“I see you do not believe me.” She whispered, and Isabella only responded with a shrug, “well, that is very understandable dear. I know how uh…bizarre the whole thing sounds but believe me when I tell you this Isabella, you have a very great destiny awaiting you - and we can help you get there.”She didn't dare say a word.Of course, a laugh would have been the best initial reaction - but these people have put effort into abducting her, bringing her to this forsaken tower. This lady, no matter how silly her words sounded, Isabella could sense some sort of darkness looming around her, a darkness that had her spine chilling and she knew, just by looking at her face that they were dead serious and they totally believed what they were telling her. Whether it was true or not.“I am not inter

    It was hard to believe that the same lady who had been smiling earlier was the one now with so much rage in her eyes.If Isabella had not realised earlier how big the shit she's in was, the threat that was so calmly delivered gave her a huge awakening.An awakening that sent her heart spiralling out of control and her knees trembling.She took a staggering step back as if trying to shield herself from the waves of anger she could feel rolling off the strange lady who was now staring at her coldly.Dear goddess, what had she gotten herself into?She shouldn't have just stayed back in Crescent pack.She should never have agreed to go back home with her brother.“Please….” She stammered, her eyes darting between the three strangers, “please please just let me go. I do not understand what's going on - I just want to go back home with my brother.”“Your pleas won't change a thing Isabella. There's a lot of things at stake, and we can't afford you being so blind and stubborn.”But she was

    Sean heard the whispers before he could walk into the library and it was just an odd curiosity that had him stopping by the door to listen.Odd curiosity.Because normally he doesn't care. This wouldn't be the first time he's heard some of the staff whispering about him. Hell, eight times out of ten he was the hottest topic in the mansion and he never really cared.Until now.Because he knew what they were talking about even before he made out the first words.“It must be very humiliating,” one of the ladies hurled together said, not bothering to keep her voice down, “to sit by and lose your birth right to your younger. I cannot even imagine.”“Humiliated? Huh! His existence is already a big humiliation. I'm sure he was expecting it because he can't be delusional enough to think that he would be the next Alpha with his curse.”That shouldn't have hurt as much as it did, but Sean just ignored that sharp pain and crossed his arm still listening.“I wonder how he still manages to wake u

    “Sean, this pacing isn't going to help you in any way.” Aaron's impatient voice cut through Sean's mind interrupting his frantic pacing.Sean groaned, “it's not like you are willing to help in any way.” He hoped that Aaron could sense his anger in his thoughts but the bastard was his bonded wolf, so sure he could very sense what he was feeling at the moment.“I know nothing about the legend, boy.”“We are bonded, you know?” Sean dragged himself to the bed and sat down, covering his face with his palms, “I can very well sense that you are lying.”Aaron sighed.“Tell me what you know Aaron.”“Uh oh. First, you will have to tell me how you managed to stumble upon this, how you got into this.”“You are in my head. Surely you can fish out any information you want.”“You know it doesn't work like that dick face. Besides you locked me in a cage for ten months so -”Sean sighed and closed his eyes tightly as he took his mind to the day it all started.The day he just closed his eyes for a qui

    Sean couldn't breathe, and it had nothing to do with the cold wind blasting him, but the way his heart was pounding, the way his head was filled with thousands - hell, millions of thoughts, words, screams.Screams from everyone.From his mother - condemning him.From his brother, bullying him.From the servants disrespecting him.He fisted his hair tightfully but couldn't get himself to focus on the pain - because the turmoil in his mind was too much, too much for him to drown out or shove down./Cursed child! I regret the day I conceived you.//How does it feel, knowing that you will always be nothing compared to me - compared to anyone here?//You are nothing but a piece of trash, totally unworthy to be called my son, so consider it a blessing that I'm letting you stay here.//He's a taboo. Goddess forbids that I ever be in contact with him. He's a bad luck, don't you know?/Over and over again, the words kept echoing in the enclosed walls of his mind, driving him insane.Then there

    Isabella’s back was aching. Not just her back but every bone in her body like she had spent the whole night working instead of sleeping.Perhaps it was the state of the bed and room that she had slept on.With a groan, she gave the small bed another glance - a very long one - as if somehow she wanted to turn the bed into something a bit more comfortable or maybe burn it.But she couldn't do either.She scoffed. Some magical chosen one she is.The door opened and Isaiah walked in with a frown.“Have you ever heard about knocking? What if I was indecent?”The man swept his gaze over her with a broad expression and rolled his eyes, “I am sure there is nothing special to see. Come on, your training starts today.”“I am not going anywhere with you not until I shower and have something to eat.” she said, rubbing her stomach while shooting him a pointed glare.The man gave the most uninterested look she had ever seen - “We leave now.” was his curt response as he turned and marched away witho

    I was shaking in anger as I stormed into my room. My parents had been in the sitting room talking about something but I didn't care to pause or stop to greet them - I was too angry to pay heed to anyone. Once I got to my room, I flung myself to the bed, and shut my eyes tightly as if they would, in any way, take away the anger or the whole reality of the mess surrounding me. It didn't. The anger only built because closing my eyes made me remember the princess slash monster and her words. /You cannot stop them./ So what then is the point of all these? What exactl;y were we doing here? If we cannot stop them, if really nothing can be done, that means I was just wasting my precious time. Might as well just sit, live my life and allow the monsters to kill and kill until they get to me. At least I knew what was coming and whatever time I had left I could make use of it to live to the fullest. But it didn't make any sense. If truly nothing could be done about this - if there was t

    “It's been more than twenty four hours. Do you have any idea why exactly the guidances asked me to come here?” Sean thought loudly to Aaron and the wolf grumbled. “I don't know, Sean. They sent you here so whatever the reason might be, I'm sure you will find out soon enough.” Sean didn't like this at all. He didn't. Since he got here, all his uncle had actually done was feed him, show him a room then disappeared. They have not gotten a chance to have a conversation yet. He didn't like that he was just wasting time here while Isabella was out there somewhere…doing goddess knows what. He needs… He needs to get to her.

    “This all sounds…unbelievable. I mean I have heard these myths and stories but I never thought that they were actually true.” Jay said after long minutes of listening to Isabella narrating everything she has been up to for the past few days, “And I have so many questions. How did they know where to find you? And will we ever get to go home one day?”“Sure, we will definitely get to go back home Jay,” she said although a small teeny part of her really doubted that, “we will…I promise. As for how they got to know, that's something I have not figured out yet but I definitely will.”Jay gave her a small nod, "Okay. So what's next for you...for us?""Nothing much.

    “Are you going to keep on avoiding me Brenda?” “I don't think you want to know the answer to that question,” the woman snapped, not looking his way. Enzo sighed as he stared at her back, wondering…just wondering what he had done for the goddess to pair him up with such a stubborn brute. He followed her. No way would she just avoid him this time. They had to talk. It's been months, yet they keep circling around each other without addressing the issue and Enzo is tired of it. He has had it up to his neck. “What is your problem?” “Stop following me, Enzo.” She responded and her steps quickened but he didn't listen to her. “No I won't. No, Brenda hear me out for fuck's sake!” Thankfully she stopped but when she turned around to look at him, the look in her eyes would have made a lesser man run in the opposite direction. “You are being a child and you know it. We need to talk about this, we need to address this issue because -” “We do not have anything to talk about or address, E

Is there a point to this at all or are you trying to make me discover some other hidden gem I might have in me?”Isaiah stopped running so suddenly that Isabella almost crashed into him, if she hadn't also stopped on time.“You know how peaceful it would be if you actually stop whining for a minute and just…do what's needed?”“Well, I'm sorry, sir for complaining. It's only the fate of the world at stake here while I'm doing runs everyday with you!” She spat, and swiped away sweat from her forehead with her hand before planting her hands on her hip.“I thought I was supposed to be learning how to control and use my newly discovered powers.

    Sean would have choked on his saliva, if his throat was not too dry to form any.Give him his voice? That is not possible. He had been mute since birth…surely there is no way they could just give him his voice back.“There's nothing impossible for us to do, Werewolf!” The first man said his eyes blazing with fire, “not something as little as handing you a voice.”Sean swallowed but he still couldn't believe them. Who were they anyways?“We are the guardians of the universe, Sean. It is our job to protect and guard this universe … and that includes this earth.” The woman said softly and Sean confirmed there and then that she could actually read his mind.“There is so much at stake and we have to ensure that you aren't making the wrong decisions because of your emotions. This isn't the time you act solely based on your emotions. This is a time for us all to use our heart…not our head.”Sean nodded although deep down he didn't want to believe them - but the lady had been right. He knew w
