I let my tiny fingers run across the dusty library shelves as my maid, Naomi, dragged me behind her. Mama would be so mad at me for making a mess of my dress again, I knew that for sure. She had always warned me about looking my best since I was a princess."P-please don't t-tell mama." I pleaded softly, my voice coming out in a stammering mess. Naomi rolled her eyes before she said, "I don't have to tell her, princess Izzy, we can just quickly sneak into your room and get you all cleaned up.""T-then mama won't know?" I asked. My eyes shined with hope and reassurance as I stared up at her."Then mama won't know." She agreed with a small smile.Naomi was my best friend in the whole palace. She always helped me get out of trouble with mama and papa, and she always made sure to bring me my favorite meal whenever the maids prepared it. Naomi led me all the way to my room and helped me into the warm bath. She washed the caked dirt and sud away from my body, complaining about how I was a
Three loud bangs came from the other side of my door, dragging me out of the world of sleep. I groaned loudly as I shoved the comforter away from my body. It was too fucking early for this shit."Alpha Xavier!" A voice called from the hallway. He continued speaking when he saw that I was not ready to respond. "Your father requests for your presence immediately, Alpha.""Goddess. What now?" I whispered to myself, roughly rubbing the sleep away from my eyes as I stifled a yawn. I cringed hard at the rays of sunlight coming in through the open window. I could have sworn I had closed it shut the night before, how the hell was my window wide open?Shoving the thoughts at the back of my mind, I got up from the bed and made my way to the bathroom to freshen up and get ready to go meet my father.When I was finally done, I stepped out of the room and made my way to where I was sure the old man would be at, waiting for me. And sure enough, he was there. My father, Raymond Dean, had been the A
"...happy birthday dear Izzy, happy birthday to you." The small gathering of people cheered and clapped their hands as poppers went off, sending a confetti of shiny papers onto the office floor. I felt the smile on my face grow bigger as I stared at the fondant figures that sat at the top of the cake, a twenty four. I had turned twenty four years old today and my friends had thrown this surprise party at the office. I felt so glad to be a part of this small family."This is the part of the song where you tell us how old you are, you dumbass." Melissa, my best friend, chuckled lightly.I let out a loud laugh as I went over to drag her into a tight hug. "Thank you for this." I said before turning to the rest of the men and women. "Thank you all so much for this, I really appreciate it.""Come on, you're the best boss we've had in a while. You deserve it." Marvin, Melissa's twin brother, said. He walked over to give me a tight hug too."Thank you, Marv." I chuckled back at him, recipro
"Isabella Rhodes?" The young guy behind the ordering counter called my name loudly. I quickly rushed out of the booth me and my friends were seated at and made my way to the counter to grab my coffee order. I said 'thank you' to the guy and took the warm styrofoam cup back to our booth. I noticed immediately I slid in that Melissa and Marvin were both giving me wide smirks."What's up with you guys?" I asked with raised eyebrows as I emptied a packet of sugar to pour into my coffee. "Oh nothing." Melissa giggled, flipping her waist length blond hair behind her neck. "Just noticed how that barrister was totally staring at you with interest." She said, dragging the last word.I turned around in confusion, and noticed that the guy was indeed staring at me. I turned back to my friends and shook my head. "That was definitely not interest." I said.Marvin let out a loud snort and stared at me in disbelief. "You know, sometimes I wonder what world you come from." He sighed dramatically. "D
I woke up and met myself tied to a chair with chains. I tried hard to break free but I couldn't. The room was so dark that I couldn't see anything. I tried struggling then suddenly remembered the last thing that happened before getting here. I just knew that the guy was up to something. "Naomi" I called softly. What about Naomi? I questioned myself within. She was the last person that I talked to. She probably saw this coming that was why she called and told me not to leave Coffee Express."Did they also abduct Marvin and Melissa?' Oh God, kept thinking within. Became terrified, I didn't even know if I was the only one in the room, I couldn't see anything. "But why would someone do something like this to me?" I began to question myself. I have never offended anyone. I've always been the gentle girl that Aunty Naomi taught me to be. I wished deep down that my aunty Naomi was here. She was always there to protect me. She has always been my shield, I always thought I could be fine al
"Do you think waging war against them would have been better?" I gave him a blank look before responding. "I'm not my father Hunter, Shedding blood of the innocents is something I would never do. Besides, we have the girl already." "No offence. So what do we do to them?" My shoulders dropped immediately I walked into the scene. It looks like a throne room. Blood filled the whole room. Corpses filled the room. Some were stuck to the wall with a dagger. "Find them! I must end the Moon Crescent pack!!" "Papa, why?" I could feel tears welling in my eyes. I began to feel soreness in my throat and lungs. "We shall not have mercy on the enemy." I sniffed up my nose then, my body became cold. "Is that tears I see in your eyes Xavier?" He cracked his head from side to side for intimidation. I swallowed hard and stared at him and, the tears that had welled up began to pour. "You are my successor Xavier! The next Alpha of Black Fur pack. Get it together you fool!" I felt a hard knoc
My heartbeat raced as the sound of the footsteps became louder. I kept holding my breath, gulping down breaths to stay quiet."I won't let them hurt you." She adjusted her body and dragged herself to my front. The door opened and I saw someone with a lantern, he entered the room and went ahead to put on the lights. "What do you want with us? Tell your boss to take me and leave her out of this.""I heard voices and I came to check if you guys are awake. I would bring food to you guys shortly and you must eat. It's an order from the Alpha.""Alpha? A werewolf? Who the fuck are you? Where is your damn motherfucking Boss or Alpha and, why did keep us here?"You can go hunter, I'll take it from here." I heard a voice say from behind."Okay, Beta."He came inside, took a chair and sat on it. His face looked familiar."You! You are the Mr Anonymous. You sent the barrister to give me a sandwich.""Oh yes, save those stories for later. At least I got what I wanted." He stood up and kept his
I felt weak within, I saw a shady figure in my front. My head couldn't process what was going on, I couldn't tell if they were two standing by my side. I shook my head and pulled myself together. Tried to move my hand then, noticed it was stuck to the bunk. I blinked my eyes and used my other hand to rub the back of my neck. My vision became clearer and I noticed Naomi was tied to a chair in the centre of the room. I then remembered all that happened before my vision became blurry. That was the last thing I could recollect before now."Miss, are you awake now?"After hearing a deep voice, it was then I remembered that a figure was right beside me. It wasn't two after all. I turned my gaze at him to look at who talked. I looked up and down and twitched my eyes to take a glance at him. His long hair fell on his shoulders. His eyes were the perfect size. He had a small nose to fit his face. The leather he wore perfectly exposed his manly figure. He looked like a goddess. "Take her and ti
"Don't touch her please, I beg of you. She doesn't know anything she is innocent. I have answers to all of your questions. Don't touch my Izzy!!!!!!!!""Izzy, Izzy, Izzy" I called softly. I felt overheated from inside then narrowed my eyes."Mother. Could it be her? Izzy" I murmured. I left the room with my hands fixed in my pocket and followed the guard that carried Isabella. "Don't you fucking touch me!! Put me down." I could hear her screams and the way she kept hitting the guard.They were far from me but with the help of her voice, it was easy to know where they were.After getting to the room, she was already tied to a chair in the room with her hands cuffed and placed on the table. I pulled out another chair and sat in her opposite direction, in front of the table she placed her hand on.I looked into her eyes, trying to figure out who and what she is. "Why the fuck are you staring at me you dick head? They call you the alright Alpha? and yet all I can see right at my front
