Sprinting through the woods, he could hear the sounds of running footsteps after him. His hand pressed on his wounded side, as he gritted his teeth. He needed to get out of here and get to a safe spot. He did not want them to catch up to him, lest he was done for. He could hear howls some distance away from him, and he ran into the opposite. He didn't want to clash with another rival pack. His eyes caught the sight of a small hidden cave, and he ran to it. He limped in and hid behind a boulder, his lips pressed together to suppress any sound from it. His fingers morphed into claws and his eyes glowed yellow, as he anticipated an attack. Luckily for him, his pursuers ran past the cave. He heaved a sigh of relief, as his claws reverted to fingers and the yellow glow in his eyes, slowly faded away. He walked further into the cave and sat on a boulder. His back leaned against the wall and he seethed, from the pain of his healing. " How could she?" He asked himself with anger evident i
Her heart pounded loudly as she heard his request. She won't let him take advantage of her, not like this. She wouldn't allow him to touch her and use her. "Leave me." She begged him but he was having non of it. "Now why should I do that?" He asked her. "You are damn beautiful, you know?" He told her with a glint in his eyes while licking his lips. Madison froze in fear as she realized the situation she was in. Her body started to shake and her palms started to sweat as her body reacted to her fear. She regretted running back here and right now, she wished for nothing more but for Jackson to show up and rescue her from this maniac His tongue caressed her neck, which irritated her. She tried to kick him at his groin as most girls would, but he caught her. "Nah... You shouldn't try that." He warned her and kissed her forcefully, ravaging the insides of her mouth. She forcefully bit him and he released her. Now he was glaring at her with murderous intent. He look so terrifying at the
His cold eyes pierced right into hers for a little while and he stood up. Giving her one last glare, he walked up the stairs, heading towards their room. "Go to your room." Her mother said to her with disappointment clear in her voice, but she did not care. She couldn't care less about how they felt. She should be the one upset and not them. They were about to give her off to a man she doesn't have any feelings for, all in the name of getting a deal and having more income. She was turned into a bargaining chip against her will and it frustrated her. Now they are not only selling her off but also spying on her. She had attempted running away but every time she did that, she was always caught and brought back home. This house, this luxury, everything, seems so disgusting and feels like a curse to her. There was a time she felt so lucky for having everything anyone could wish for, but now, she wanted them all gone. She wanted a simple life, with freedom and happiness. She did not wan
Her eyes stared at the masked man in front of her, with her glass frozen an inch from her mouth. She did not know why but she felt like she had met him before. “Have we met?” She asked him to confirm as her eyes peered at the slits to find his eyes.He was staring at her, unmoving and his eyes were hidden pretty well by the diamond-shaped designed mask. If one was to take off his mask, they would notice the slight smile on his face.“Probably .” He simply said and extend his hand again. “A dance?” He repeated and she took hold of his. Madison grabbed a mask from a tray and wore it on. Maybe this dance was her ticket to leave this God-forsaken place and go where she could be alone. She followed him to the dance floor and placed a hand on his shoulder. She was quite nervous, as she had never done this before. This was her first time, and she didn't want to embarrass herself.Her eyes scrutinized the hall and she could see that chase's bodyguards were no longer with their dance partners
She ignored the greetings from the bodyguards and the maids as she walked into the mansion with her hand constantly wiping the tears that streaked down her eyes. Madison was both upset and hurt at the same time. She did not know if she could bear the insult anymore. She wanted nothing more but to go into her room and lock herself in. “Madison. ” her mother called as she saw her daughter's face. She looked worried and stood up from where she sat. Mr. Allen was equally worried and he also stood up. He might be a very harsh or cold man and father, but he always loved Madison. “Just leave me alone. ” Madison pleaded and walked up the stairs to her room while supporting herself with the railing. “I’ll go talk to her. ” her mother said to her father and headed for the stairs after he nodded. Madison walked into her massive bedroom and ran to the bed, burying her face into it and crying. She was bittered and the only way to feel ok was to release it all. … After Madison and chase came
The night was cold and silent. The sounds of rustling leaves and twigs breaking could be heard as a dark figure slunk through the forest. It moved with such a speed that it seemed like it was a blur. Not even a keen observer would notice the huge cat-like creature, as it whizzed past trees. The giant cat-like beast suddenly took the form of a man, and he began to slowly walk towards a tree. His hands were tucked into his pockets and his face, which had a slightly indifferent look, was revealed by the moon. He stepped on some twigs, which produced some noise that reverberated in the silent environment. Some rodents startled by the sound scampered off to safety. The man did not care less about the noise. He did not care if it had alerted anyone or gotten the attention of a deadly forest creature, like himself. “Draven.” A feminine voice broke out, as a woman walked from behind the tree. “I have been expecting you.” She said to him, with a smile. “Lilith” He responded, as he walke
The night was silent and the crescent moon shone like a silvery claw in the dark sky. The main street seemed desolate and the street lights which were placed on several posts shone over the place that one could hardly notice that the day was rounding off.Three black SUVs pulled up in front of the Allen mansion. Mr. Allen alighted the car from the door, held open by a guard.He looked visibly upset and without saying a word, he walked past the guards, heading for the building and ignoring the greetings from the maids.He still couldn't believe that he had been insulted because of Madison. What exactly did she want? Why can't she see that we are doing what is right for her?... All these thoughts ran through his head, as he strolled into the building.He will not allow her to destroy his plans with her silly fantasies. The marriage was something that would happen, and she would have to accept that fact.He wasn't going to let this opportunity slip from his hand, because of a teenage dram
She felt goosebumps on her skin and chills running down her spine, as everything just felt eerie to her. Fortunately, the elevator door slid open for her and she walked out. Now she was in another hall and was heading towards a staircase. She exited the door hastily and found herself outside the building. The chilly air blew on her face but even as the night breeze was cozy, sweats broke out on her forehead. She felt she was being watched by someone, being monitored and spied on. Although she looked and scanned her surroundings with her eyes, she did not find anyone. As she walked to the parking lot, her hand rummaged her bag for her phone. Her hands were shaking and her legs felt like jelly, as she walked into the dimly lit underground parking space. There were three cars in the parking space, as all the workers had already retired to Their homes, to be prepared for work the next day. She walked towards her car and noticed a piece of paper tuck between her car windshield and win
Walking into the old abandoned building, Carl set Madison down on the ground as he wiped off the sweat on his forehead. He examined her wound with a deep frown on his face and although it was just a little scratch that would heal in days, he was still angry and bloodthirsty. He wanted to harm those that have put her in such a situation. He wanted to hear them cry out to him for forgiveness as he makes them go through so much more than Madison had experienced. “Madison.” He called out to her while moving a few strands of bloodied hair, away from her face. He bite his lower lip as soon as she did not respond. He was very tired and quickly sat beside Madison while placing her head on his lap. He did not want her to feel sore when she regains consciousness. “Once everything is over, I’ll give you the life you deserve.” He swore as he patted her head, slowly. For some time, there was peace and quiet as Carl just leaned on the brick wall with Madison’s head resting properly on his lap with
“What do you mean ?” Carl voiced out with concern. He was tensed and it was evident on his face how wary he was. “You will find out.” Lilith just said to him before she hung up. Carl inserted his phone back into his pocket and walked back into the room in a haste. He ignored the worried stare he was getting from Madison and walked towards the wardrobe, pulling out a bag from it. “What’s wrong?” Madison asked him as she stood up from the bed. She was worried, as she had no idea what was going on. It had barely been five minutes since Carl stepped out, only for him to return. She could feel that he was worried and it alarmed her. “We are leaving right now!” he simply said to her without taking a glance at her and just began to take out the bags. “Now? Why?” Madison asked him, as she followed him out. Now she was curious to know what was happening. She followed after him, as she went down the stairs. The floorboards creaked as soon as they were stepped on. “What’s going on?” Paul
A splash of cold water was all it took for Alesha to wake up. She gasped and her eyelashes fluttered before she looked around to observe her surroundings. The rattling of the chains bound to her reechoed in her eardrums. She was lost and, aside from that, she did not recognize where she was. She could almost hear her heartbeat pick up pace as it pounded hard against her ribcage like it was trying to escape its prison in her chest. She reeked of sweat and blood and her hair was damp with her sweat. Now, she could see them…her kidnappers, and they all had menacing looks on their faces like they weren’t there to play. They meant serious business and she knew that if she offended them, she might not be left off that easy. She quickly stared at her legs, as the thought of what had happened previously, clouded her mind. Surprisingly, her legs were perfectly fine. There were no bruises, nothing. “What sorcery is this?” she questioned her insanity In doubt as she was sure that just some fe
Carl and Madison arrived at their destination, a small building. Looking at the environment, Madison began to admire the work of nature as a smile beamed on her face. She could see a garden by the side of the house and a few flowers by the side of the porch. This was what she wanted, to live in a normal house, without any worries, and not in a mansion like her family. She didn’t need all that money and having to attend huge parties thrown by a celebrity or a governor. She wanted to live a simple life and she was sure she was going to like her stay here.Carl walked to the porch and pressed lightly on the doorbell, immediately, they could both hear the faint sound of music coming from within the house. Soon, the door opened and a little girl peeked out from behind the door.“Sam,” Carl said with a smile on his face as he stared at the young girl.“Uncle Carl.” The girl said excitedly, as she ran out and hugged Carl by the waist.Madison looked at the little girl without knowing whether
[WARNING! CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT, NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUNG READERS.]Time paused as soon as Carl just remained still while looking at her in disbelief. “Are you sure you want this?” he asked her and she nodded. “What if it hurt?” he asked her with a creased brow.“I don’t mind the pain…I am tired of keeping my virginity Carl, this is my life and I decide what I want to do with it…I want to spend the rest of my life with you, Carl. I want you to take me as yours…I want...” “Shhh.” He shushed, cutting her off while placing a finger on her lips. “I am all yours.” He said as he allowed her to slide down his shorts and gawk at his hardness.Madison swallowed nervously, as she had never seen a man’s genital before and this was her first time. She stared at his face and at the bulge, nervous.Carl seemed to notice how she felt, so he took it upon himself and slowly pushed his bulge through her slick and bloodied entrance and stopped when he saw her contort her face in discomfort and pain. Sh
Carl and Madison boarded a cab, as soon as they finally arrived at their destination but she had no idea where she was going. She was still in her wedding gown and was still attracting people’s attention to herself, which she did not like.“Where are we going?” she asked Carl, as she took a glance at their unfamiliar surroundings. The smell of wet earth and grass, filled her nostrils, as the cab sped past buildings and trees.“We are going to look for a place to stay.” He replied instead and smiled at her. His indifferent look was nowhere to be seen as he spoke to her.“Are you two a couple?” the cab man couldn’t help but ask as he stared at the duo from the rearview mirror. “I don’t mean to offend anyone, I’m just curious.” He said to them and Madison smiled.“Don’t mind the gown…we are not...” “Yes, we are married,” Carl said, interrupting her while placing a palm on her hand. “We just got married.” He added and Madison gawked at him in surprise.The cabman smiled as he glanced at
The sounds of sirens broke the peaceful atmosphere, as corpses were being conveyed from the wedding venue to the morgue by ambulance. Even the police had stormed the place, as they handcuffed the perpetrator and led him toward the police van not caring about treating his injured shoulder or bruised face. Family members of the deceased, either wailed or threw curses at Chase for killing their loved ones. The press did not miss such a golden opportunity, as they asked questions and took pictures for their story. Chase sat at the back of the van handcuffed, with a few guards of his who only broke a few bones and some policemen. He did not say a word but cursed in his heart with hatred. He suddenly began to wish he had shot Carl himself, instead of letting his guards do it. But now, there was no need to cry over spilled milk. This wasn’t how he had expected it to go. His vision was dulled by the blood seeping out slowly from his wounded forehead. Soon, the van started moving and he
“You!” Chase said as he stared at Carl in disbelief. “How are you still… “ he said before he trailed off. His eyes darted toward Madison and he could see a smile on her lips, from the thin transparent veil over her face. He felt his heart bleed and his blood boil like it was being cooked. The congregation was confused, as they stared at the mysterious man at the church’s entrance. Madison’s parents were both confused and relieved to have Carl there. They wondered why he had come alone and what he was going to do, while they were relieved that his presence alone, might be what they needed to save their daughter from making a mistake. “What are you waiting for?!” Chase bellowed at his guards, as he inched closer to Madison. “Kill the intruder!! “ he ordered but before they could pull out their weapons, sounds of gunshots reverberated in the hall, gunning them down. Sounds of screams of panic filled the hall, as the congregation began to rub Helter skelter, trampling on one another,
It was finally the day of the wedding. Madison was getting dressed and ready. Even as she smiled at them, only she knows that within her, she wasn’t happy.She had a feeling of dread for the wedding and she felt like something bad was going to happen. To her, she felt like she was making a mistake, a huge one.She wanted to seize an opportunity and run out of the Mansion, never turning to look back but considering what was at stake if she did that, she decided to remove any thought of escape from her head. There was no escaping this for her, not ever.She was doomed to marry someone she did not love, even as she heard his confession. After getting turned down by Carl, she felt that with time, she might fall in love with Chase but it never happened. Carl had stopped coming to her after she had rejected his offer to help. Maybe he had moved on with his life, she did not know but she certainly missed him.Even Alesha had stopped coming to see her and gave her cold shoulders. She di
