#Chapter187Promise-01Aries BlackwoodJust where could she be?My blood was boiling at this point as I walk back and forth. My surrounding an utter mess of broken glass and pool of blood and alcohol. I had been on a hunt since the moment I caught a whiff of that sweet aroma. I had been looking everywhere for her like a crazy manic. But I still couldn’t get a whiff of that presence from that night.The fuzzy image of her that I got from the cctv footage was the only thing keeping me sane at the moment, keeping this rampaging wolf at bay. But he was not a wolf anymore, he was something more powerful, deadlier and he had finally decided that he wanted more than a part of me, he wanted complete control. He seeked the one whom he had lost in time and in return lost himself. All these decades without her had wrecked this monster and made him hibernate deep down, but her presence had called him forth, to push past the fragile glass cell that he was imprisoned into. Any more force and
#Chapter188Promise-02Aries BlackwoodI speed out the door in inhumane pace and across the crowded floor, sniffing, inhaling her. My eyes craved to see those midnight black hair once again. To feel it. I swim through bodies after bodies, hoping that it will eventually lead me to her. My heart hammers inside my chest, throbbing painfully so as I become unsuccessful in finding her. And the more agitated I become, the more I start to lose control and the more I become the monster I am. But just as my vision starts to double in anger, in disappointment, I see a silhouette. That midnight hair, that tall figure and those endless legs-My eyes hungrily watches that body, swaying along with the beat that was now mute to my ears. But when a realisation hits me of that short skin-tight dress she was wearing and the fair amount of skin, she was exposing for everyone, I become blind with rage and even more so when those sick, dirty leeches starts to latch itself on her. On what was mine.
#Chapter189A devil of hellAries BlackwoodI hold her in my arms all the way to the penthouse, unable to bear the separation, the feel of her skin against mine. I needed the reassurance that she was real and not just another mirage of her, created out of my desperation.I dress her in one of my shirts after ripping that piece of fabric that carried the scent of the night. Of other males. And finally let go of her as I lay her down of the mattress.I was rendered speechless as I finally have a look at the goddess that now lay before my eyes. An exact replica of her first form, with hair as dark as the night sky and maybe even those endless black hidden behind the now closed eyelids filled with thick lashes. But regardless the colour of her eyes, she was perfect, and she was mine.Slowly reaching forward, I trace the lines of her face, her skin, soft and smooth under my hard knuckles and the zapping of currents gave me the thrills, the excitement of life, a reason to be alive. She
#Chapter190Forever prisoned-01Althea Zoella Castellanos SilvermoonI couldn’t breathe. The iron grip of his on my waist only tighten as the moment pass. But the reason for my breathlessness was not because of his powerful hold, it was because of the shock I felt, the currents zapping me from every corner. My whole body was lit in this invisible flame, burning me alive, but it only left me with a sweet pleasure instead of the heat, the burn. All my senses now only filled with him, the scent of the fresh mint.Just how did he manage to find me?“Mine…”His voice sends shivers down my spine while his word holds me captive.But the whisper that rumbles from him sounds so sad, so broken. It prickles my heart a little. “Please don’t leave me again…”But I don’t know this man in whose arm I fall. So, I force this unwilling body and thoughts, and try to be free. “Althea.” But just a whisper of my name makes me weak on my knees. My name coming out of him, soft but sad, gentle
#Chapter191Forever prisoned-02Althea Zoella Castellanos SilvermoonBut now it was me who couldn’t open her eyes. Only my lungs function, taking long deep inhales and a short release, filling herself whole with that scent of life it was now so addicted to. That minty scent was all it could trace in the air that was between us and it was all that it needed.Time passes by yet I remain frozen still. My only motive was to just breath, breathe him in, all of him. Everything else now forgotten. Returning home. My memories of the night. Even the darkness found a shade of light and for the first time in my life, I truly felt lighter, freer.A slight tingle on my face brings me to the now. His hard knuckles softly traces the lines of my face and his nose ever so slightly brushes against mine, asking me, or was it begging me, to open my eyes, to spare him a glance. Thirsty for my attention, hungry for my warmth, he waits but impatiently, though he never says a word or forces me to compl
#Chapter192Goddess and her stupid wolf-01Althea Zoella Castellanos Silvermoon“Don’t you have a home to return to?” I ask once again, wanting to be away, alone for just once, to gather these muddled thoughts of mine. But my stranger mate was making it impossible to do so. He even took like a fraction of a second to clean out of his bloodied self. I mean who does that. Insane, he was.“I am home Althea.” And here he goes again. He smiles, eyes twinkling, a bright glimmer now replaced his tired look from hours ago. “You are my home.”And here I thought Alex was bad. But where was that boy anyways? He had been out of my sight since the moment Aries, as he calls himself, arrived, but I know that he was around. I could feel his presence far away but close enough. If I tried harder, I could find him, but this man in front of me was taking away all my patient and hence my focus. Being around him made me feel-I sigh out. I don’t know what he makes me feel. I don’t know this feelin
#Chapter193Goddess and her stupid wolf-02Althea Zoella Castellanos SilvermoonScared, he takes a further step back. His blue eyes flickering in worry. “I will leave, but please don’t cry.” His own expression looks pained as he takes one more step back and another. “Please Althea.”“No…”I finally manage to whisper but it was enough to stop him from taking another step back, I know he heard me loud and clear. “Do you want me to leave, Althea?”No. I did not. I don’t want you to leave me. I want you to hold me. I want you to stay with me. Please don’t leave me.I bite my trembling lips and slowly turn my head side to side. And just like that, I’m engulfed into his warm embrace. He holds me tight and places kisses on top of my head as I bury my face deep into the crook of his neck.“I’m sorry.” But it only makes me sob louder. I wonder when I became this weak. Just pathetic. “Tell me a story.” I lay sideways on my bed, watching his golden hair shine through the night,
#Chapter194Raven’s Home-01Amara RavenKnock. Knock.Two urgent knocks on the door takes my attention off the piles of paper in front of me. “Come in.” I answer, siting straight on my seat as the guard gives a deep bow before relying a royal command.“Her highness, Queen Ophelia seeks your presence at once, Princess. She’s waiting for you in the great hall.” “You are dismissed.” I immediately get off my seat and leave the work for another time. Maybe that’s the reason I was feeling restless the entire day.Sighing I get up and make my way out into the hallway, but the uneasy feeling once again starts to surface, urging my feet to increase its light pace. And in no time, I stand before the entrance of the grand door leading to the summit. I wasn’t the only one being summoned here, Helen, Philip, Eliana, Christopher, Elias and Aya, they all stood on either side as my mother sat on the chair and my father kneeling beside her. And there was this heavy tension floating in the air
