RosalindThe sound of the familiar heart monitor device beeped nonstop in my head, and I needed not be conscious to know where I was.It was already getting old. This was the second time in a month that I was in the hospital and it’s beginning to annoy me. Now I know how patients feel when they are at this side of the hospital.I struggled to open my eyes and then winced as the light burned through my eyes, but my breath was frozen in my lungs as I heard the familiar voice coming in.“Dad I already told you to stop. I’ll get it to happen but stop, okay? I’m tired of having to pretend.”My brows met. Pretend? Shawn’s father was the busiest man I’ve ever met, and I had my reservations about his attitude , but Shawn always praised him so I felt I was being too judgmental about the way he acted. But judging from my so called husband, I’m not the best judge of character. Maybe it’s just me.“Rosalind?” Shawn’s voice broke through the fog of thoughts and I focused on his presence, ny eyes
Shawn While Rosa and Lola laughed and giggled about what I had no idea about, I cursed silently in my mind.My father was one impatient man. And I already told him I was going to sort out everything. But he hated delay.But little did he know that delay was the reason why everything was going well today.And Rosalind was going to be fine. She has no idea she’s a wolf with superior healing abilities, like her pack. James too had no idea she had superior healing abilities. If he knew, it would make everything more complicated for me.I needed him to remove himself completely from Rosa’s life. She needed to see him as the enemy. She needed to see me as her hero.Because I love her.And I plan to do anything to make her mine. I’m done accepting defeat. That was me three years ago. Now, if I want something, I’m going to get it.Lola met my eyes from afar and glared at me. She couldn’t understand why I am doing these things. No one could. And I’m tired of explaining over and over again.
James “James! James wait!”My ears perked as the voice reached my ears and I turned to face who was running after me with a smile that looked to wide on her lips. Lola ran to me and I paused to watch her crouch in front of me to catch her breath. I rolled my eyes as she dramatically tried to catch her breath, and I sighed as my gaze flew to my watch. I was done with theatrics for the whole of the day. Not only did Marina think she can stand against me, then Shawn thinks he has the audacity to order me around.Now Lola, Rosalind’s best friend and the one woman I really don’t like, is right before me and I’ve never wanted the ground to swallow me up so badly.Everything was going wrong, and I was nowhere close to finding out who my enemies are.I’m beginning to even doubt the whole revenge plan.A sigh left my lips as I watched her catch her breath. “What do you want, Lola?”She stood upright. “Can’t I say hi to my friend’s boyfriend?” She gave a coy smile that irritated me straight
RosalindMy eyes opened in an instant and a loud yawn left my lips. All the pains I felt earlier were completely gone and I felt much better as if the accident never happened.The hospital room was dark and empty and I searched around for my phone but it was nowhere to be found.Has Lola and Shawn gone? Feeling thirsty, I pulled myself up from the bed and walked towards the counter where a glass of water sat. Picking it up to my lips, I was frozen in place when my eyes strayed towards the space outside the door, where Shawn and Lola were.They were arguing angrily. Why would Lola and Shawn argue? Lola loves Shawn.Putting down the cup, I decided to meet them to know why exactly they were in the hallway, and what they could be arguing about.“Don’t you dare talk to me that way, Shawn. Don’t forget who I am.”My brows furrowed. Who she is? I slowed down in my steps to hear more, but Shawn’s head snapped towards the spot behind the door where I stood, and I quickly hid.“Rosalind?” He c
Rosalind“Are you sure you don’t want to stay at mine, Rosalind? I’m really worried about your wellness in this house just by yourself.”Shawn and I were seated in his car in front of my house. Lola already dropped at her place, and we already planned to have a sleepover the next couple of nights. I just wanted to be alone for tonight. Everything was happening too fast and I need to take a breather.Honestly, I was already fed up with being around people every single time. I need a little me time and little of people fawning over me every single second.“I’ll be fine, Shawn. I promise. If it makes you feel better, I’ll shut the doors. I’ll double lock them even.”His eyes studied mine with an expression in them I couldn’t even identify.After an eternity he finally decided to speak. “There are some terrors even the triple lock on your back door cannot keep away, Rosa.”My heart sank at his statement. Why would he do that?Instill Terror into me? For what reason?“What?”He blinked o
Rosalind“Ah!” I screamed as the knocks became more and more violent and I immediately locked my room door before hiding in the bathroom, holding my bay tight as the hitting of my door became more intense as if it was about to be knocked down.Someoen actually wants to hurt me. I’ve been avoiding this since the hall, but I couldn’t ignore it anymore when they followed me home.Someoen wants to kill me.“Rosalind are you still there? Fuck I shouldn’t have left matters the way they were. Rosalind please answer me.”A sob came out of my mouth instead of a reply and he sighed.“Rosalind, I’ll be there now. I’m getting into my car okay? I’ll be there immediately.”“Don’t hang up please.” I whispered as I gripped both the phone and the bat hard, still listening to the violent hits of my door.“I would never. Keep talking to me. Don’t focus on the door.”I tried to think of whatever I could think of, but nothing was coming to my mind. My heart leaped with each thud and I kept wondering why n
Rosalind As we drove into the garage of James’s house, a sense of comfort washed over me. Whether I liked to admit or not, this was where I felt the most comfortable. We stepped out of the car silently, my head bombarded with the thought that something could have happened to me just like last night.Was I going to have to be protected every single day if I want to survive?James caught my eyes from across the garage and gave me a comforting smile. “It’s going to be okay, Rosalind. Come in. We would think about it in the morning.”I sighed, gripping my overnight bag. I didn’t plan to stay long. Marina was here after all.I followed James into the house I knew so well and a gasp left my lips at how the whole house has been transformed, the wedding picture of James’s and me which was hung on the wall has been replaced with a studio picture of Marina.What sort of narcissistic bitch is that?“So much changes. I hope my room still remains my room, or was that also changed the minute I le
RosalindThe words that he said sent a sharp pang straight to my chest. The look in his eyes, and the emotions swimming in them had my throat drying up with emotion as the part of me that wanted him to see me finally got appeased. How did he know?Could he have remembered or did someone tell him?I opened my mouth to ask, but the sound of a familiar voice piercing my ears shut me up.“James.” I’ve only head Marina’s voice a number of times, but it has never been more strong, menacing. Commanding.It sent blood rushing through my veins.James looked towards the hall, and the slow sound of wheels sliding across the floor became closer and closer, and a familiar build filled my line of vision. Her eyes filled with surprise as she took me in, but it was quickly masked with indifference as her eyes trailed up and down my body in irritation.“So it’s true. They weren’t just rumors.” She spoke, and I rose my brows. Of course she would have heard about my presence. The maids love to talk in
Rosalind My life was a whole mess when I first started. My husband was in love with a woman and married me to take care of her, I found out I was a werewolf, a special kind and my two best friends wanted my power and I almost died twice. But I had James. I had Aurora, Chris, Philip and even Mia. I had friends, a community and I was the one of the strongest Luna to ever exist. I was happy. And today was my wedding day. And also official inauguration and I was almost sobbing as I stared at myself in the mirror. I was getting married for the third time, but this was the first real naturists and was so so happy, but I had no idea why I was sobbing. “You’ve ruined the make up these women too so long to do with your sobbing. It’s pathetic really.” Aurora eyed me, and I cried even more, hurt by her words. “You have no idea what I’m going through Aurora!” I cried even more, and Mia sighed rolling her eyes. “That’s it, I’m going to start drinking early.” She turned and wal
James I felt the dull ache in my chest and like the pain I felt in the last hour, I knew it wasn’t mine. And that fueled my desperation, and I pressed against the accelerator of the car, speeding up to the direction of where we were headed in the woods. “James you need to calm down-“ Mia started but I interrupted her. “Calm down? You can’t ducking tell me to calm down when the only things she’s been feeling in a hour is unending pain!” I growled as we flew into the woods. Mia sighed and pointed a tree and I expertly avoided it, almost bashing into it. She let out a sigh as we drove to a clearing and she undid her seat belt. “They are close.” And indeed as she said, I felt the bond, although fainter. She was dying. With a growl, I fell on my knees and turned into my wolf, much more better and stronger, and was safe from magic mind manipulation. Mia walked beside me, her lips pursed. She was also going to help, but I was owing her a lot. Anything was worth saving my p
Rosalind I groaned as I opened my eyes and the cold air hit against my skin harshly. I tried to recognize where I was, tried to think of what happened but I couldn’t. I had no idea. My gaze came into focus and I looked around the dark room, the only source of light was the window. My arms were tied together and my legs too, and my mouth was tied with a piece of cloth. I was bound and I had no idea why or what- It alll came running back. The reason I was tied. Marina and Lola both working together to make my life miserable. Just in cue, the front door opened and the walked in, the only source of light being a candle that lit up as they did. Lola’s eyes met mine and she smirked. “Oh hey, Princess is awake. Just in time.” My heart broke at the fact that they knew each other and both caused my life to be hell in two ways. I couldn’t catch a fucking break. Marina chuckled. “She’s a princess alright. And I’m sure her king would be losing his fucking mind when he finds
JamesThe whole day had been wonderful and I hated that we actually had to come out for some entirely different reason. And as Mia have a condition why she should help, I was tempted to say no, but I needed to make the world a better place for me and my mate.So I agreed, to connect her to one of the biggest fashion houses in France, since the owner happened to be my friend.Mia had no idea of personal space, and I kept wondering why she was so close to me despite what I have made clear.I belong to Rosalind.“So we have a deal. I’ll help you and your little mate.” She rolled her eyes, but then eyed my body seductively.“I would have lived another form of payment though. Does your mate like to share?”I frowned at her, getting up from the chair. “Don’t do that, Mia. Rosalind isn’t the type to mess with.”Mia rose a brow as I walked out of the room. “True, I wouldn’t doubt that. For someone who was a virgin until recently, seeing me flirt with you would be like death for her.” Her hand
Rosalind We had sex for breakfast. And for lunch, and when we finally planned to get out of bed and shower, we had it some more. Werewolves have a worse libido, and now that James and I wee mated, I wanted nothing but to have sex with him every single time. And he wanted that too, because he couldn’t get his hands off me. Our suite has a jacuzzi and I wanted to make use of of it before it was time for what we really came here for, the fashion show and James’s ex. James was seated on the bed, his eyes lazily watching me as I pulled off the dress I wore, showing my completely bare body. I didn’t need to look to know he was instantly aroused. I was , and he was only looking at me. I turned to him and gestured to the jacuzzi. “Come join if you want, I want to soak for a bit.” I didn’t wait for a reply as i seductively left the room, my ass wiggling as I stepped out to the jacuzzi room. I didn’t need to look to know that he followed instantly. “You are such a tease.” He
RosalindThe passion in James’s eyes as I asked the question added more fuel into the fire and he ran his eyes through my body.“Every fucking corner of this room, Rosalind.” He wrapped his hands around my waist and pushed me against his hard body, and wasted no time in claiming my lips against his.I hummed as his hands roamed around my body hungrily, his hands grabbing my head to deepen the kiss and his other hand on my ass, squeezing desperately. I moaned into his mouth, my fingers tugging at the strands of his hair.He separated our lips, latching himself onto my neck, dropping little bites, causing me to moan uncontrollably.“Rosalind, I need you, desperately.” He groaned as he continued kissing and biting against my skin:My brain was foggy and all I could think about was my desperate need to have him touch me everywhere.“Am I permitted, Rosalind? Can I worship your body?” He asked, looking me deep in the eyes with his darkened orbs.I bit my lip, “My body is all yours to do wh
Rosalind Getting back to the city, I felt my power reduce to a manageable amount. It didn’t feel the same like when we were in our realm, and I could feel the significance, but I didn’t focus on that. I’ve always known James was a billionaire, but I didn’t enjoy the perks then. But now, standing in front of a five star hotel and feeling extremely out of place, I couldn’t help but marvel at the beauty. “This is where we would be staying, and also where the exclusive show would be holding.” James said as our bags were taken from us and we were ushered in. The inside of the building was even more magnificent than I could ever imagine. It was was like a palace, with lavish decorations and opulent furnishings, which was saying a lot, since I live with a billionaire, but this was more than I’ve ever seen. I couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed by the grandeur of it all. James seemed to sense my unease and took my hand, leading me through the lobby to the elevator. "Don
James Resisting Rosalind was getting harder and harder. How didn’t I notice she was perfect before? I was solely focused on Marina, but the minute Marina woke up, if felt like I could see again. She went from the unflattering doctor my grandfather forced me to marry, to the most beautiful I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Was it too early to say I loved her? Because I did. I sighed, as I walked around the pack. I had to complete the mating bond, my wolf wanted that more than anything. Maybe tonight, when we get to the city, I could take her on a date. A perfect date for a perfect woman like her. I’ll plan it. The pack members looked nothing like the toxic and evil ones who cheered Shawn on when he tried to steal Rosalind’s powers. These ones were similar to my pack members before they were killed. Sweet, loving, a big family. Hm. Could they have been under a spell? Maybe Lola? I wouldn’t put it past her to try something that horrible. I walked towards the dungeon, a
Rosalind James would be the end of me.I bathed, taking my time to wash off the hospital smell and the sweat and the pain and stress of the whole month off my body, and refused to think of anything else but how we conquered Shawn.I didn’t want to stress about Lola, James assured me that we just needed to look for her. We had the whole pack under my command, we could take her.But that didn’t lower my nerves. I needed to see her locked up. Shawn hurt me by pretending to be my friend, but she hurt me more, because she knew my darkest secrets, shared my happiness and sadness and was my personal person, but none of that was real.She needed to pay.I rinsed off the soap on my body and wrapped a towel around my body, stalling as I did my skin routine, ashamed that James would see me come out in just a towel.I wasn’t insecure about my body in anyway. I had a slim waist and a curvy lower body, with round breasts. I never paid attention to my body much, but when I used to work, all the men
