"One night, he had a huge fight with Lucian. I didn't know, neither did our parents. He healed so fast, no one discovered. On the other hand, Lucian was wounded badly." "What caused the fight?" Lucian asked. "He told your mother, Lucian's girlfriend at that time how he felt. She was shocked, maybe angry. She didn't expect that from him. But I am sure that what got her mad had to be worse than Patrick confessing his feelings. He probably said something nasty about Lucian. The next day, Lucian barged into the eatery down street and charged at Patrick. I was there at that time, but no one saw me. I never moved with them, so I sat in a corner. The didn't see me, but I saw them," "Lucian was yelling at the top of his voice. He told Patrick that he was a backstabber and a horrible person. Laura was trying her best to stop them, she was embarrassed, I guess. I found it funny that Patrick had gotten into a problem with this set of uncultured people. Patrick on the oth
This was Anna's undoing. Lucian was her undoing. The way his perfectly sculpted fingers slid into her was magical. She had never felt this way before. He had her pinned against the wall, her legs hung on his broad shoulders as he bent and drank her juices from beneath. She moaned his name continuously as his marvelous tongue worked expertly on her and when she trashed against him, he lapped at her juices hungrily before letting her slide down the wall, into his arms. He was fully dressed and she, her top bunched around her waist as she sat astride him on the polished wooden floor. Their breaths were heavy and fast. Anna was still trying her best to regain her stamina. She'd seen stars as she felt herself tighten against his fingers, it had felt like she was floating through a region of total pleasure. She couldn't exactly explain how Lucian made her come and how she felt. "Have you ever orgasmed?" Lucian stared intently at her. "I just came now. So, yes." She s
Anna was shaking right now. Even in the dark, she knew Lucian could see her every expression, but she didn't care. Right now, she didn't care. This reminded her of every guy who started avoiding her like she had a plague each time she told them she was a virgin. She had to lie to Alma that she had sex with one dude back in college and had to say that the sex was terrible. Was she going to continue this way? Lie that she wasn't a virgin just for validation? No, she wasn't. If Lucian didn't want her, he could go fuck himself. Or wait. Was she not beautiful enough? Didn't she have a nice body? Did she have belly fat? Saggy boobs? Bad breath or body odor? Maybe he used that opportunity of her being a virgin to stop. That wasn't the reason. Every girl was a virgin before a man fucked them. She nodded. Yes, there was something. It wasn't about her virginity. Had she done too much by being in control for that little amount of time? What if Lucian was amused and tried so
Anna'S POV. What if we all reincarnated? The only problem is that we don't know if we once lived. We start a new life not knowing we were once on Earth living totally different lives. I die, everyone cries and says nice things they don't mean. I get buried and everyone thinks I'm in heaven. Or hell. I've gone to be with the Lord or Satan. But it's a different case entirely when I, the dead one, experiences the unexpected. Everything seems hazy because I'm in transit to an unknown destination. There's a cloud of darkness I can't see. I feel it around me, suffocating. Am I hallucinating? I know I'm moving but I can't feel my locomotion. I'm alone, which is weird. I thought someone was supposed to accompany me into the land of the dead. Suddenly, there's a swooshing sound. Reminds me of the series 'Flash'. My eyes are open, but I can't see anything. I can only hear, and it's not a good feeling at all. There's this blood-and-guts terror surging through my– what? I
From afar off, I can see thick gray clouds covering whatever is before us. As we trudge forward, it seems like we're walking to our doom, I can feel the dark energy; it tastes like rage and maddening strength, feels wraith-like. Its effect is overwhelming, I can't speak. Even Nothing is affected because he lets out a low groan. "This is the Doom Portal," he grinds out. "This is the entrance to Condemnation Hall. Brace up, earthling." It takes 2 minutes for us to cross the portal, but it feels like an hour. After we sail through the portal successfully, a flying Sceptre appears out of nowhere and comes at us with unnerving speed. I try to scream, frightened by the force of its attack, but Nothing clamps his hand over my mouth and muffles my screams. "Don't scream!" he hisses into my ear. "You'll only put yourself into danger and slip out of existence." I nod frantically and cover my mouth with my hands as soon as Nothing's rough hands release me. I'm sure I look a
She woke up with a jump start. She was sweating profusely and when she touched her face, there were tear streaks on her cheeks. What had she just seen in her dream? Had to be the most vivid dream she had ever dreamt. Anna was scared, even in her state of consciousness. What was that dream about reincarnation? She sat up on her bed and rubbed her eyes, still recovering from the dream she just had. She was totally disoriented and found it hard to get accustomed to her environment. From that strange being she had encountered in her dream to the dwarf that had pushed her into another world, she could not figure out a damned thing that made sense. She had been having weird dreams ever since her arrival at this estate but last night was the strangest of all. The time read twelve fifty seven on the wall clock. Few minutes to one o'clock. She was awake late today, again and out of reflex, she turned to check if Alma had awoken only to find the bedside empty. Then it al
Wendy took Anna's hand and pulled her towards the stairs. Anna followed, her heart at the pit of her stomach. ★ Lucian, as early as nine in the morning had been awoken by a body jumping on him. He sat up immediately and pushed the intruder off him with irritation evident on his face. "What are you doing here uninvited?" He questioned, making sure she didn't miss the tone of irritation that coated his voice. A shrug. "I came for the festival." Lucian was getting angrier. Everything about her annoyed him, especially the too feminine voice she faked. "The festival isn't till next Tuesday and it's a universal festival, meaning it can be celebrated in every pack worldwide." The lady pouted and sat up in his bed. She bent and picked up her handbag lying across the floor of his room. Unzipping the bag, she fished out a card. An invitation card. "This." She shoved into his face. Lucian opened it and read it's contents.
10,000 years in the past( Continuation )A frown settled on Lucian's face as he picked up an unfamiliar but disturbing scent.They were not alone and whatever is in their room with them is giving out a deadly, powerful energy.Lucian didn't like this feeling at all.Immediately he became in a state of alert as his eyes carefully scanned around and his nose kept busy, trying to sniff out the location of the intruder.The scent led him to the bathroom and he slowly walked towards that direction but paused halfway to glance over at his wife, Anna where she still lay peacefully in the bed.Looking at his wife's beautiful face just made Lucian feel more protective and determined to kill who or whatever the intruder is.Stepping into the bathroom he took his time to study his environment...there was no one here but he could still smell the presence of someone or something. In fact the scent was much stronger here and that only made him feel nervous and very cautious.He might just be deal
Lucian pulled off the white duvet that had been stained in blood and carried it off to the bathroom. The smell of blood filled his senses and he would have killed her right there I'd his father had not taught him the art of controlling his desire and need for blood. He could still hear her son's from the room and honestly, he wanted to laugh so hard at how petty she was being right now. By the time he returned to the room, Anna had already put on her panties and was standing before her wardrobe, searching for a dress to wear. He walked towards her and put his arms around her, pulling her back so she could lean back against his chest. "I honestly don't know why you're crying like this happened before a whole lot of people. It's just me and you and there's nothing you should be embarrassed over." "Okay." Was all she gave in reply. She pulled away from him and returned to searching for what to wear. "Oh, come on. Is that all you have to say in reply? I know y
"What are you doing here this late, Kevin?" A sleepy lady in an ivory night dress asked, rubbing her eyes. "Didn't you hear the explosion, Maya." Kevin asked weakly. "I felt the vibration. Wasn't that from the presidio of San Francisco?" Kevin shook his head. "It was from my condo." Maya gasped and immediately let him in, hurrying towards her bar to get him a drink. Kevin was so tired from the events of today. He flopped down on the sofa close to the bar so it was easy for Maya to get him a drink and pass it to him. He took the bourbon from her hands and gulped its content, squeezing his face as it burned his throat. "Thank you." Maya sat down on the sofa facing him. She pulled her night dress down her knees and when Kevin noticed what she just did, he raised a brow. "What happened? Tell me everything." Maya inquired. Kevin leaned back on the seat and raised his head to watch the ceiling. "A lot has happened. It's a really long story."
A Tesla model car cruised into a large condo gate that opened automatically. When the car came to a halt, Kevin stepped out, aware of the fact that the house was eerily quiet. He didn't hear the noise from his kids coming from inside the house. He sighed and took out his phone, stepping into the porch and using a voice key to open his door. It beeped but didn't open. Kevin frowned. He used his card instead. It still beeps, showing that it had accepted his card, but still didn't open. That was when he got a notification on his phone. Kevin stepped backwards and turned swiftly. The door to his Tesla opened, sensing his body heat and adrenaline rush. It cruised out of the gate and it had gone no further than the next two buildings before a blasting explosion was heard. He didn't feel the impact bodily, but in his heart, he felt it. He lowered his head and gave thanks to whoever was up there. He needed to get a very large and expensive gift for Maya for going agai
Anna was sick and worried now. She couldn't stop pacing about the living room. Casey and Augustus were worried too, but they were very good at composing themselves. Anna had woken up as early as six and had taken a trip downstairs when she didn't find Lucian in bed or anywhere in the room. Augustus and Casey were fast asleep on the couch, but she hadn't hesitated to wake them both up. They reassured her that he would soon return. Six was a bit early if they decided to book a morning flight. She wasn't satisfied with their answers, but then. Wendy came in an hour later, asking if both of the men had returned. Replies were negative, but she still had hope that they would return before afternoon. Anna had refused to eat breakfast. Any time she got really worried about something, her appetite always flew away into the thin air. Now, it was nearing evening and the whole estate was already aware of the absence of the Alpha and his Beta. Nobody was to leave the estat
"Hello, this is Georgina from Element 14 speaking. Mr Kevin has scheduled a date with you this evening by six pm. He expects you to wear a red velvet dress coupled with silver pumps." Maya was abashed. "Thank you very much, Gina. Relay this message back to him. Tell him that I will be absent. I have important things to do." Georgina, who was staring directly at her boss, bit her lip nervously, but nodded nonetheless."Alright, ma'am. I will return this message to him." Georgina dropped the receiver and cleared her throat. "She says she will be absent. She has important things to do. " Kevin sighed and rubbed his temple. He nodded and walked back to his office. When he got to his office, he kicked a glass vase standing beside the entrance to his office. His boot took the impact and cushioned whatever pain he was to have later. He was really frustrated. Maya was not picking his calls. He had called her several times today (though, it was just five times, it coul
There was a loud bang. Lucian jerked awake. The room was dark and the only light seeping through was from a 2x2 window situated above his head. He was disoriented for just a few seconds before he took note of his surroundings. Immediately, he whipped his head around in search of his friend. Felix was at the other end of the room snoring like he was a human who had drunk a barrel of rum. He was tied to a chair with a really thick jute rope and was unable to move. Even his feet were bound to the iron feet of the chair. Lucian bent forward. "Hey! Felix!" He whispered a scream. Felix didn't budge. He was still unconscious. Lucian decided to wake him using telepathy. He closed his eyes and tried to connect with Felix's mind. It turned out that he couldn't even connect with Felix's mind train. It felt like there was a barrier stopping him from connecting with his friend and when he looked around to find the source of the problem, there was none. Suddenly
Walter could walk on his own without the aid of a wheelchair or crutches. Though there was a limp in his movements, he could do just fine and the regular exercises he participated in helped a great deal. Walter was plotting. As he took power walks down the aisle that had been mounted in his node, his mind worked mach 5. He had never been this determined to bring something down his whole life. Nora would regret leaving him for another man; an enemy that he had sworn to kill. His doctor had left after taking record of his vitals and here he was, exercising his body and getting ready for whatever was to come. "I can see that you're in good shape, Walter. " Walter slowed down to a halt and turned his body towards the entrance of the node where Kevin stood. "Yes, I am." Walter replied, breathing heavily. "Can we talk for a few minutes?" Walter nodded and went over to the railing where his towel hung. He removed it from the hanger, wiped his face and pick
“Yes! I felt it. Look at your skin, olive. Not something Hollywood uses to artificially tan their skin. It's so natural. Your hair tells another story. Not American at all. You're mixed?" Lucian nodded and just as she was about to ask another question, Felix was standing behind her chair, one hand on her head rest and the other, on the arm rest of the seat. He gave the stunned lady a beautiful smile, took her hands and placed a soft kiss on it. "Name's Chase. What's yours, beautiful?" The lady swallowed. Her heart was beating real fast and she was having issues with breathing. "Nao— Naomi Sparks!" She stuck out her hand awkwardly. Felix, still with the seductive expression, smiled at her. "Nice to meet you, Naomi. You're really beautiful, I must say." The lady blushed beetroot red. "Thank you. You're not bad looking either." Felix placed a hand on his chest and closed his eyes in heartfelt gratitude. "Can we switch seats?" Naomi nodded i
Anna woke up feeling energized. Lucian was not on the bed beside her and she guessed that he had already left the estate for whatever meeting he had with the council. The curtains were drawn to let light in and when Anna checked the digital clock sitting on the wooden bedside table beside her, it read twelve twelve. She sat up and threw back the covers, gasping in surprise at how long she had slept. Wendy would have knocked on the door with breakfast in hand and that would have been two or three hours ago. Anna rubbed her forehead and sighed. Self conscious about her appearance, she walked to the mirror standing before Lucian's dress stand. Noticing that she was close to being naked in her bikini from last night, she squealed in horror and threw open his wardrobe in search of something to cover up her body. She did not want Wendy to find her looking like she had been savored last night. Lucian's wardrobe was filled with clothes and she pushed really hard before
