Rather, let me rephrase that. The first guy that was walking before me, came to stop suddenly without prior notice, and I bumped into him.
It was obvious that the first guy wanted to flare up the moment he was bumped into but didn’t when he looked up and saw the new guy’s face.
Though I don’t know who he was but from his outfit, aura, and the way the first guy reacted to him, you could tell that he was not one to be trifled with.
An idea popped up in my head as I watched his reaction to the new guy.
First, his eyes widened on realizing who it was before he quickly took some steps away from the new and gave him a ninety-degree bow.
To say I was surprised at the turn of events was an understatement. But as I kept watching I wondered what the identity of this new guy was to be able to make a guy who was arrogantly rude and ruthless towards me a while ago, meek and humble as this.
“Your Highness, it is a great honor for this humble servant to come across your way.” He said but to me, it was so obvious that he was this way so that he could be noticed by this royal dignitary.
Though it was like that, I couldn’t blame him for being that way. Who wouldn’t feel honored to be in the presence of a royal? I for one felt honored even though I have no idea which royal family he’s from or if he was even close in line to the throne.
Just the mention of ‘your highness’ had me feeling honored.
But that’s not what matters to me now. What matters is how I’m going to make my escape from these guys by using the Prince. But before I put it into action I need to be sure if these guys and the prince are not in a close relationship with each other or the guys are not working for the Prince. One can’t be too sure.
The prince didn’t answer him but instead looked directly at me with a smile and an expression I could not fathom.
However, his gaze gave me an uneasy feeling. It was as though he was a predator that just saw an interesting prey and could not wait to bounce on it to devour it.
Though he tried to hide it with a smile, I could still tell what was behind that smile.
My heartbeat plummeted in fear and I took an unconscious step backward as I realized that he was far more dangerous than the two strangers.
The plan I had devised within me flew out the window upon this realization. It was better to go with the strangers than with the prince.
I might not know who he is or what he is capable of doing, but one thing I was sure of is that he was dangerous, extremely dangerous.
I shook my head and held onto to chest as my vision blurred and I tried to control my breathing and not go into a panic attack.
Everywhere became hazy as I tried to focus on my breathing. But the more I tried the more my panic increased and fear gripped my heart.
I knew I couldn’t lose my consciousness here and at this moment no matter how hard I tried to control it, I knew it was a lost course. Still, I kept trying.
I was about to completely lose consciousness when I felt a hand grab hold of me and pulled me to a warm body.
Instantly I felt safe and my panic attack stopped immediately.
I gradually opened my eyes and a face I know would be implanted into my heart for a very long time, became visible before me, mouthing some words at me.
At first, I could not hear what he was saying but as I became more aware of my surroundings, I realized that everyone’s attention was on me.
I turned my attention back to the face before and d**n I was mesmerized.
It was the epitome of beauty. I would never in a million times think of me coming across such beauty.
He had a Teutonic-gold hair that I would be adored by the fairer sex with a crescent-of-moon eyebrow that was thin and narrow. He carried an imperious nose well and his angular cheekbones carved down towards a flinty jaw. If not for the situation, I would have been tempted to trace my fingers along his cheekbones to confirm if they were real.
Not only his cheekbones but I would also have been tempted to trace his mariner-blue eyes that were orb around and darted constantly with a gleam of delight and the vigor of youth. They shone brightly as two sapphires dipped in milky pools.
Not that I wasn’t tempted to do so, I was, but considering the time and situation, I had to reign it in.
I could only gaze at him with adoration.
“Are you alright?” I finally hear him say and come to realize my current position in his arms.
He was holding me in his arms, chest to chest with no gap between us which became awkward for me upon realization.
I quickly adjusted myself and stepped away from him while muttering urgently, “Yeah…yeah I’m alright. Thank you.”
“Are you certain?” he asked me concerned but not releasing his hold on my arms.
Nodding my head, I said more calmly, “Yes, I am.”
Though he didn’t let go of my arms, he wasn’t holding them roughly so that they would inflict pain on me, rather he was holding them with care and concern.
I have no idea why, but I have a feeling he was not one to be trifled with.
Despite that, there was something about him that told me that I could trust him. Yes, judging from his outfit and charisma, he seems no different from the Prince, but with him, I could be at ease. He could be dangerous but somehow I felt he wouldn’t hurt me.
I don’t know how but I just felt that way. I can’t help thinking of him as my knight in charming armor.
“Are you acquainted with her, your highness?” The Prince asked my knight who in turn is an actual Prince also.
What was the odd of me knowing that my leaving the house will end up with me meeting two princes in real life? Even though one frightens the hell out of me and the other charms me at first encounter. I wouldn’t have thought so. Not in a million years. “You can say that.” My Knight responded still looking at me with concern which surprised me because we haven’t met before. This was our first encounter and I’m sure that he hasn’t seen me before anywhere near him or afar because there was nothing that could have brought connected us in meeting each other. Moreover, I’ve spent most of my life between the walls of the hospital and hardly been out of my ward. So how could we be acquainted with each other? I looked at him surprised and about to contradict his words when I noticed him giving me a look and instantly, I understood what he was trying to do and decided to go along with him. Hoping he could help me out of my current predicament. “T
Fuming quietly in anger, I waited with him at the entrance for the valet to bring his car. “Angry?” I suddenly heard him say. Not sure if I was the one he was talking to, I asked, “Are you talking to me?” He glanced at me for a while before humming in confirmation. “What do you think? Am I?” I snickered angrily. “If I may, I think you are quite upset and wonder why, considering that I just helped you out now.” He raised his brows at my tone and responded in slight astonishment. “Well thank you, your highness, it's most appreciated.” I retorted sarcastically, my anger getting the best of me. “Then enlighten me on why you are angry.” He said feigning to be clueless as to why I’m angry. “Well since your royal highness chose to act clueless about the reason you think I’m angry, then there’s no need for me to recount it to you,” I told him harshly. “Hmm” he hmmm but didn’t utter any more words. I followed suit and said nothing for a while. But because of how angry and frustrated
“Why?” I can’t just believe this. “What do you mean by why?” He asked seeming confused. “What don’t I mean by why? I mean, why shy should I enter the car of a stranger that I don’t know his name or where he’s from and just met coincidentally a few minutes ago to a place I don’t know all because he is a prince that helped me out of a situation.” I can’t fathom his thinking. What does he take me for? Confused lines edge on his forehead as he seems to be confused by my words. “Is that so?” “Yes, Your Highness. You didn't expect me to follow you just because you helped me. Besides, how can I even trust that you are not in cohort with them since you refuse to divulge to me what is going on?” “No, I didn’t expect you to come along with me because I helped, but expected you to do so for your safety, since I’m certain that we are still being watched to see if we were being truthful a while ago but if you think that you are ok with me leaving you behind, then go for me. I’ve gone beyond
Just as I was about to ask him to stop, I saw two of his men walking out of the bar with the redhead in toll and I knew she had fallen victim to their claws and there was no escaping from them.Those that tried to do so before her didn’t live to see the light of the next day. And judging by the way her eyes kept darting about, I knew she didn’t plan to go down without putting up a fight.That is a good spirit and I admire her more for her bravery.But in that situation, that was all she was going to get.BRAVERYJust bravery… Nothing more than that without proper help from one of the same capabilities as prince Valdis.Which was the reason why I nominated myself to help her out.I can’t see a damsel in distress and not help her out. It is against my doctrine, beliefs, and personality.Though I question myself when I have those or concern myself in a business that doesn’t have any relation to me, most especially not this sorry-ass-of-a-prince.Despite that, I went out of my way to do s
[WARNING!!! ADULT CONTENT BELOW. READ AT YOUR CONVINIENCE]“How could you be so trusting of me, when we just met an hour ago? What if I’m in cohort with those guys, or more dangerous than them, and have a much worse intention of bringing you here.”“W…What do you mean by that y…Your Highness?” I manage to say as I feel the tightening of his fingers around my neck.“Are you an idiot or a fool or both? How could you follow a stranger blindly to his apartment without fearing he could harm you? Was that how you were following them willingly?”His hold on me wasn’t tight to the extent of hurting me but I was not comfortable with it and tried to squirm my way out of it.“Of… of course not, your highness. I planned to find a way out before we arrived at wherever they were taking me to. I followed you ‘blindly’ as you put it because it’s you. I don’t know why I trust you, but I believe that you won’t let any harm befall me.”Inhaling sharply, he tightened his hold slightly and blurted out wit
[WARNING MATURE CONTENT BELOW. READ AT YOUR RISK] *** He turned back to look me in the eyes momentarily stopping me in my tracks. Then he lifted me off the bed and turned me around, placing me on my hands and knees. The next moment I heard and felt my clothes and underwear being ripped off my body from behind and before I could comprehend what was going on, I felt him fill my whole pussy with his cock. I screamed out loud. Which turned out to be a bad idea. In screaming, I emptied my lungs. And the Prince on my back didn’t give me any chance to fill them again. He pounded me like a jackhammer, pulling his cock out until there was nothing in me but the tapered tip, then slamming it all the way in! Just the impact against my body was enough to knock my wind out. But on top of that was the matter of his cock. It had looked huge when I felt it against my thighs. But it was much bigger now. And I could feel it getting bigger still! When I used my toys, sometimes I had problems fitting
Standing up in all his glory, he walked out of the bedroom and towards the living area ignoring my question. Seeing that I was alone in the room, I quickly took the clothes that were off me and put them on at a speed of time, before walking on careful steps towards where he just existed too. On getting to the lounge, I looked around for a sign of him knowing fully well that he was there and that he wouldn’t have left his suite naked. Eventually, my eyes found the object of their search, right behind the bar, sipping a glass of wine and I couldn’t help stopping fleetingly in my tracks. Damn, he was so otherworldly handsome. Despite our current situation… my current situation, I couldn’t help but be blown away at his beauty. He was a gleam with delight that had me gulping as I stared at him drinking his wine so regally with no care or regard for anyone else in the world. “Like what you see?” His words brought me out of my thought and I blushed in embarrassment, averting my eyes a
“Y…You what?” “I marked you. I lost control and marked you unintentionally and in turn, made you my Chosen mate.” “What?” I asked not believing my ears. “Is it a habit of yours to make one repeat themselves? If so you better start working on it from now on because I hate repeating myself.” He said irritated. “S…sorry but can you make me understand what you mean by you marking me or making your chosen mate?” He looked at me quietly for some time before saying, “I believe you know what a mate is to werewolves and Lycans. At least an idea of it with the little your movies and books portrayed us with.” “Not really. Though I have nothing against paranormal movies and books, I’m not a fan of them. So I don’t pay much attention to them. Hence I don’t know much about them and I don’t know what you mean by saying I’m your chosen mate.” “I see… Too bad then since I have no time to explain things to you. You will get the hang of things as time goes on.” He simply stated “What do you mean?
The winds were blowing colder and the sun set faster, with day giving way to evening that much easier. Winter was, indeed, approaching. Mara was helping her mother out in the gardens, surprised that her plants were still alive. Most of the leaves had turned brown and orange when autumn came, but their herbs, vegetables and flowers always seemed to flourish under her mother’s touch. Lucinda Hastings was humming to herself as she picked all of the ingredients she wanted from the growing pile of snow. Mara was certain that by nightfall, the ground would be completely covered in white. Her father had also gone off into the woods to collect lumber for their fire, leaving the two women to themselves. It was eerily silent, seeing as their cottage was situated in the middle of a clearing, deep within the mountains. Mara wasn’t sure where the nearest village was, but ever since she was young, they’d always lived far away from everyone else. They also moved around a lot. Mara had gotten us
All I could do was stare at her, still not believing she was right in front of me. I reached out to touch her once more as I had not since I helped her regurgitate the water she had swallowed as she drowned. With the way I hallucinated so much today, I was afraid that this was a hallucination that would fade in minutes and leave me with a cold, harsh reality. My hand traveled to her face and she stilled in anticipation, her wide eyes glued to my form. “Dante?” Her whisper was small and sounded frightened. I let out a huge sigh of relief and pulled her close to me in desperation. “Lorelei..” She immediately clung to me and started to cry. I could only keep quiet and stroke her hair, still trying not to freak out over the fact that she was in this realm with me. Goddess, please. Let her not be dead. “I’m so sorry, my love. I’m here now. I’m here now.” Her sobs got louder and I had to gather her more into my arms while comforting her the best I could. I kept reassuring her of my
“What...Who...” He stammered, not sure if what he was seeing before him was real or not. He raised his hands to rub against his face hoping that after doing that and he eventually opened his eyes, everything would be just a dream, or an illusion, or trance, or something to indicate that what he just saw, the person before him, was all a lie and not natural. But unfortunately, when he did remove his hands and opened his eyes, the guy standing before him, who looked exactly like him, was still standing before him, smirking or trying not to laugh at him or at how his actions were rather funny. Dante I still got the flowers that you sent My head shot up from my palms. Music? Lorel? And the note you wrote that said that we were meantTo be foreverAn’ I keep them all as evidenceIn a drawer under the mirror With each word from the lyrics, I felt my heart ache. Like a guitar, each word strung my heartstrings. I clenched my chest, trying my best to stand up but unable to because my h
I struggled effortlessly to swim to the surface of the ocean but the more I struggled, the more I sink further down the bottomless pit. My will and struggles become weaker and eventually, I had no energy in me to fight against the torrent of the waters I sank deeper into the ocean feeling myself lose my consciousness gradually, and before I knew it darkness encircled me, and drew me within itself. For what seemed like just a few minutes later, I let out a tightly drawn gasp of air and flew my eyes open but what met them was total and desolate darkness. The same that consumed me when she was on the verge of losing consciousness. However, I could feel that I was no longer surrounded by water but rather I was lying down flat on what seemed like a concrete floor.Trying to control my emotions and not allow fear to consume my being, I move my hand around me the floor not truly knowing what I was looking for in my doing so."Hello, is anyone there?" I called out hoping that someone was t
His face was priceless and he could not stop staring at me and what I wore. Not uncomfortable under his gazing eyes, I waved my hands in front of his face. “Hello..?” I said uncomfortably. His eyes snapped up to mine with a sheepish smile. “I’m sorry.” He rubbed his neck and motioned for me to walk in front of him out of respect. I just scoffed and walked ahead before coming to a stop to glare at him, “So you want me to let me lead?? To where?? Where are we going?” He sighed and took my hand but I snatched it back and narrowed my eyes at him. He sighed once more and took it, grasping it tightly so that I couldn't snatch it out of his hold not letting go even when I tried to snatch it again. “let go of me, you jerk!!” Ignoring me, he kept walking as though my actions toward him meant nothing. I started to hiss at him in spite before yelling. “You’ll break my wrist, you brute!!” He abruptly let go of my hand and turned in concern and seeing that as an opportunity I started to
LorelI couldn’t help but be emotional because the song reminded me of Liam and how past relationship and could not help but refer to him through the song at the same time. Also, I could feel part of myself referring to Zane which came as a surprise to me. Speaking of which, my eyes widened and jolted in surprise when I remembered I'm supposed to be preparing for my date with him. I shook my head, pushed all the emotions I was feeling aside, and rushed out of the bathroom, bumping into Shanghai on the way. “I’m so sorry, Shanghai!” I apologized.She smiled kindly at me and turned to gesture to the outfit on the bed. I walked closer and saw that it was a long-sleeved mini bodycon dress with an opening in the chest area and a mini slit in the front.Touched, I looked at her gratefully and rushed to put it on. Seeing that iI had my shower cap on, I carefully took it off and then shook my hair to create the full fluffy large curls that made me look exotic.I didn’t react as I heard Sh
I watched her scurry past me and going to stand in the middle of the room- trolly in hand.I sighed and requested what I needed while trying not to check the time.“What’s your name?” I asked her calmly,She hesitated briefly before whispering her name.“I can’t hear you.”“Shanghai.”My eyes widened in surprise, “You don’t look Chinese!”Her giggles filled the air as she said, “ My grandmother lived in China for a while before she was notified of my mum’s pregnancy with her mate- my dad. She rushed back and when I was born, she named me Shanghai.”I laughed at the story and nodded in acceptance.“Okay then, Shanghai. I need a new pack of razor blades and a pack of panty liners, the ones that absorb much.”She looked at me weirdly and I laughed out loud at her expression making her blush. Motioning to her to follow me, I made my way to my wardrobe and opened it wide.“This is a hack I learned in college.” I walked to my vanity mirror and fished out the nest perfume and body spray.Fle
However, the more thought of his words, the angrier I became, and eventually couldn't keep my emotion in check.Seeing the change in my expression, he took some steps toward me showing a bit of concern, and asked, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"I raised my hands to stop him from getting closer to me.What's wrong?I snickered out this time around before looking at him squarely in the eyes, "Your words, that's the problem, your highness." I said the 'Your Highness' in a sarcastic way. before continuing."You assure me of my comfortability in your clan only 'if' i do as told like a puppet without a mind of her own and in the same sentence, failed not to threaten me if I decide to have a thought of my own or don't follow every instruction given to me. Am I not quite laughable with this situation and conditions in which I, someone whom you so much as confess your undying love to, am currently in?" I continued my words in a drag sarcastic tone.As I spoke, his expression gradually changed f
We need to talk.That statement kept ringing continuously in my ears as I wondered what is it that he needed or wanted to discuss with me.I didn't give him a response and just kept staring at him for a while as he waited for my response.However, when he saw that I wasn't going to give him any anytime soon, he spoke up, "You! leave." He said harshly to the maid beside me causing her to jump to her feet in fright before scrambling out of the room hastily.Watching her retreating figure, I looked up from my seated position and glared at him.Why will he scare her like that? What is his problem?Who did he think he is to badge into my room demanding and commanding as he deem fit?All these were the angry questions that flooded my mind and I dare not say them out loud for fear that he might get angry and snap at me, and only god knows what will happen when he does.Closing my eyes, I took in deep breaths to calm myself before opening them and looking up at him."What is it that you want
