Bound By The Lycan's Curse. 31 Jalen
It's been three weeks since I saw Clarissa last and it felt like my life was over. From blogs and magazines and the TV, her wedding to that bastard was drawing nearer. My days were a blur, filled with nothing but endless pain and heartache. I couldn't stand the thought of her being with someone else, of her loving anyone else.I avoided people at all costs including my family. I locked myself in my room, refusing to come out. I didn't want to talk to anyone, didn't want to see anyone. The only person I was in contact with was my sister Jaela and Cade. Jaela would come to my room every day, trying to talk to me and convince me to come out but I would just shut her out.The one time when my dad tried to talk to me I had an emotional outburst. I screamed at him to leave me alone, to leave me in my misery. I didn't want anyone to try and fix me, I just wanted to be left alone.I spent most of my time in an abandoned building. It was a crumbling old factory on the outskirts of town. The w

I headed to the swimming pool wearing my favorite red bikini. The sun was shining and the water was warm as I dove in. I loved the water and it always helped me to relax. I sipped my wine as I swam, enjoying the tranquility of the afternoon.But my peace was interrupted when I heard footsteps approaching me. I looked up to see my brother, Bryon, and Sydney walking toward me. I wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone and when I noticed that they were wearing their swimwear, I stepped out of the pool.Bryon closed the space between us quickly and prevented me from moving. "Come on, Rissa, how long are we going to continue like this? You've been staying away from everyone and it's becoming annoying," Bryon said, his tone frustrated.I wrapped a towel around myself huffing in annoyance. "What do you want from me?" I said, not in the mood to talk."Is this going to deteriorate and then we'll now practically live like strangers?" Sydney added, her tone concerned and her microblade brows looki

Preparations for my engagement with Ivan began in earnest. The closer the day came the more dreary my heart sank. Everyone, especially my mum, was ecstatic as they began to plan for the engagement ceremony. The house was filled with the sound of chatter and laughter as my mother and her friends discussed the theme, the guest list, and the menu. They were all so excited to celebrate this milestone in my life, but all I could think about was Jalen.My mum had even hired a team of professional decorators to make sure that everything was perfect. The dining table was set with fine china and crystal glasses, and the kitchen was filled with the delicious aroma of food being prepared for the big day. But as I walked through the house, all I could feel was a heavy weight on my chest and a sense of dread in my stomach. I tried to push thoughts of Jalen out of my head but they kept creeping back in. I found myself staring at the clock, counting down the hours until the ceremony, and wonderin

I was in the middle of sketching in the uncompleted building, my mind consumed with thoughts of Rissa. Her engagement was in just a few days and I still hadn't found a way to stop her from marrying Ivan. She was my mate, and she deserved to be with me, not that arrogant peacock. My anger boiled over and I threw my spray can against the wall, the yellow ink splashing across the concrete.Just as I was about to dive back into my sketch, I heard footsteps approaching. I turned to see my sister, Jaela, making her way towards me. "What are you doing here?" I asked, my tone brusque.She didn't answer, instead she began to cry, her tears a strangled sound. I knew something was wrong. I turned on our mind link, our special connection and she me that our mother had almost killed herself.I was stunned, the weight of her words hitting me like a freight train. I immediately dropped everything and rushed to Jaela's side. I couldn't believe that she would do something like that. "Where is she?"

JalenI walked down the dark streets, my hand still bleeding from the altercation with Dante. I could feel the sting of the cuts, but I didn't care. All I could think about was how satisfying it felt to finally stand up to him and his constant taunts.As I approached Cade's house, I could see the warm light coming from the windows. I knocked on the door and Cade answered, his eyes widening as he saw the state of my hand."What the hell happened to you?" he exclaimed, clutching my arm and pulling me inside.I shrugged nonchalantly. "Just had a little run-in with Dante. He won't be bothering me anymore."Cade shook his head, leading me upstairs to his room. "That fool needs to learn how to control himself."As we entered his room, I couldn't help but chuckle at the state of it. Clothes were scattered everywhere and empty pizza boxes littered the floor. Cade's room was always a mess, but I didn't mind. It was familiar and comfortable.We sat down on his bed and Cade handed me a controlle

Wedding morningI woke up the next morning with a pounding headache and dread in the pit of my stomach. Memories of the night before came flooding back to me as I groggily opened my eyes, and I groaned at the thought of my upcoming engagement with Ivan. My mum walked into the room, carrying a tray with a steaming cup of tea and jolting me out of my thoughts."Good morning, love," she said, her tone scolding as she set the tray down on the bedside table. "I see you had a little too much to drink last night."I winced at her voice. "Mum, I have a headache, besides, it was just champagne," I lied in the last part. Getting drunk to a stupor was the only way to let myself get lost in the false sense of happiness that came with booze, knowing deep down that I didn't truly want to marry Ivan.My mum sat down on the edge of the bed and placed a hand on my shoulder. "Today is a big day for you. You're going to be spending your first night as a married woman in Ivan's bed, making love, and..

The celebrations had begun in earnest in the house and people showed up dressed gorgeously for the engagement ceremony. It was eight pm and I had less than two hours to make my decision whether to run away with Jalen or marry Ivan despite knowing that not only were we not mates, but he had another female in his life. On the other hand, wasn't I a hypocrite because I was condemning him for the same offense I was committing? The female was probably his mate and Ivan wanted us to get married for his selfish reasons. I didn't know what to do and I was so restless.As I walked through the grand halls of my family's mansion, I felt suffocated by the luxury and magnificence of it all. Tapestries adorned the walls, the gleaming marble shone and the chandeliers sparkled like diamonds. I watched from upstairs as guests arrived at my house with their faces etched with arrogant expressions as they made their way through the front door. All of them were beautifully dressed in designer clothes
