We watched a girl in a bed, completely naked with a man thrusting inside her. The sudden opening of the door made the guy to jump off her and cover his body whilst he stared at Conrad with fear in his eyes.
The girl didn't react much, she rested her head back and moaned until she realized what had happened"How dare you slept with an Alpha's mate?" Conrad's voice trembled us in our skins as he tightened his fist and stepped inside the room.To our surprise, it was supposed to be romantic date the two have planned. The entire room was decorated with red roses and the red wine beside the table was an evidence that they both drank a lot before getting in bed.Katie was still drunk while the guy was a little aware of the surroundings. It wasn't long that Katie lifted her face and her eyes met up with Conrad's eyes. The fear of losing someone you love, someone who had loved you was all I could see in her eyes."H--," Conrad was ready to pounce onto the guy with an appearanI zipped past them after they have showed me how dense they could be and was welcomed by the grumpy king himself. There was no rest for me, I seemed to be babysitting this giant wolf. "Why did you stop me there, little witch!" He growled, punching stuff around onto the floor and creating a mess. Ah! Of course he was alpha, he had to be extra. "Are you going to clean after your mess?" I asked with my arms crossed, I might have looked like a weak and a scared person to them when I was first caught by their guards but I wasn't that feeble at all.Once I knew my environment and the people around me, I got more comfortable even in a place where I knew nobody liked me."Why would I? I'm the Alpha King, I don't need to do all these things." Conrad was breathing profusely as he glared at me through the mirror. He was bending over the dressing table, his palms resting on the expensive wood."Exactly! Why would an Alpha King show his desperation for someone who betrayed him?
His warm, soft lips brushed against my skin and I let out a sigh, making tight fists of my hands to control my body from reacting too violently. He passed little kisses onto my neck way down my chest when he switched to his tongue. The tip of his tongue licked through my cleavage, making its way between my b*obs. His hand ran over my body to my bo** and he pressed it hard, making me finally lose control and let out a fainted moan. His finger played with my n***** from over my dress, making me go crazy for his touch.The knock on the door was a relief from the awkward situation we were in at this moment. I instantly jumped back from him and turned around to get myself together. Once I turned around again, I found him as shocked as me. It was not preplanned, it just happened and now the things were going to be awkward between us. I had no idea why he made it so sensual, so full of emotions when he could literally ask me to please him or be a bast** like Kruz, or maybe they
"Do---," as I tried to step away from him, he lunged at me to forcefully grasp my arms and pull me closer to his chest. My eyes bugged out in surprise as he held me close, trying to push him away, but I couldn't budge him."No! You are not allowed to threaten me," he brought his face close to my ear and whispered in a chilling tone. The appearance of the numerous goosebumps across my skin were brought into the light as he pressed his lips against my earlobe.A feeling of disgust covered my body in the form of chills when his skin came in contact with my body."Get aw--," I had my eyes closed to apply pressure on his chest in order to push him away when I felt a loud thud from down the mansion. The noise startled him enough into pulling his body away from my body and looking in the direction of the woods from the top. It was weird that he looked more defeated than shocked at the noise."What was that?" he asked himself, worryingly trying to make out the figure in the
The gun shot filled the air and then I noticed blood pouring down from her forehead. Miranda's body bent over the railing and soon it hit the ground."No!" I shouted, reaching the railing and looking down at her lifeless body."Why?" I turned around in cries to see Kruz standing behind me with a gun. Conrad had finally followed us but it was too late. My body was trembling at the mere thought of how I raised her hopes, made her wanting to live again just to be get killed with no mercy."Why? She was working with the witches." Kruz announced bitterly, the anger in his eyes was unmatchable. He had no mercy for anyone, he didn’t even want to give her a chance to speak her side."She tried to kill Conrad!" Kruz shouted with his gun still pointing at me, "What if she had succeeded?" He almost broke down but then got a hold of himself. The tears in his eyes made them red, the gritting of the teeth didn’t go unnoticed either.Conrad steadily held the gun out of his hands and
"What?" a visible frown across my forehead and with knitting my eyebrows together, I showed him my discomfort with his wish."You heard me, now do as I say or!" he paused as he knew I had gotten his point. I bit my lower lip and lowered my eyes, grabbing enough strength to stand up against him."No!" I muttered with my head bowed down, escaping his eye contact."What did you say?" his grunt hit my eardrums, he slammed the wall beside me to make me tremble under my skin. Just because I made out with him and kissed him didn’t mean I was his se* toy now. I did make out with him when I desired to but right now, he had only made me feel ashamed of myself for even being touched by him."I said, No!" I raised my face in order to put pressure to my words and my decision. I wouldn't let him force me to please him especially after I had been traumatized by someone's death who I had promised to help.The sudden appearance of tears of angers in my eyes once were brought to his at
The next two days were weird, we hardly spoke and followed the same routine. I did notice Conrad being spaced out most of the times, probably still mad about Katie's betrayal and I don't blame him, anyone would be upset if their mate cheats on them.I have seen her calling his phone nonstop but he never picked up any of her calls."Conrad!" Kruz followed us as we were headed to a gym. Well, he was headed to the gym and I had to be his shadow"Yes?" Conrad didn't slow down in his pace, "Is there something you want to talk about?" he proceeded to ask whilst reaching his car with me."Selene wants to meet you," Kruz was keeping it hushed to not be heard by me I guess, but I could clearly hear his grumpy voice from afar."Why? Hasn't her sister done enough damage already?" Conrad finally stopped in his steps to face Kruz and groan in anger."We can't punish her for her sister's sins, besides, she was the one who told you about her sister's truth." I could tell Kruz was
"Who the hell could do that?" Conrad had changed into his clothes. His hair was still wet and so was his shirt as he hadn't dried up before quickly jumping into his clothes."Are you okay?" He whispered when I didn't respond to him. I had been sitting with her corpse and examining her face for the past few minutes. It might not be anything for him but witches were my family, my coven.If I hadn't met Conrad, I wouldn't have question what could have possibly happened to her but now that I was with him and his pack, I couldn't really say if they did that.She seemed to have died during casting a spell. And I knew when the spell was casted, she was the witch that had used Miranda's body as a vessel but how did she die?"Cordelia?" Conrad hunched over, noticing the body and then my face, "You think our pack did it, don't you?" his voice was much calmer now unlike how he normally spoke to me."I don't know who to trust anymore." I uttered under my breath and staggered up o
My brain stopped working for a moment and once I was able to pulling myself together. I realized that I was all over his naked chest with my bo*bs pressed against his chest and my arms bent over. His arms were holding me closer to him so tightly that it seemed as there was no escape from him.He suddenly opened his eyes and probably realized what he had done. He didn’t let me go immediately, his eyes stared at my face before he brought his one hand over to my face and gently rubbed the tip of his fingers against my lips, making me shudder under him. I felt like my whole existence was on fire, he was staring me in the eye like he had never seen me before. He finally realized what he had been doing and it made him shake his head and pull his hand away from my lips.Once he had freed me from his grip, I pulled myself away from him while still sitting in the bed. It was so weird be in the same bed as him after how messy our first encounter and even till our interactions now ha
It has been a few days since everything. Conrad has been all over me as I overexerted myself during the ritual. I have barely left the room. He gets me everything I would need. As sweet as it was, it was also a little annoying not being able to move or roam around. I am thankful to Uziel for getting Conrad off my back. He has called for a pack meeting and requested my presence. I hope everything is alright. He never really calls for meeting so suddenly. I sighed as I made my way to the meeting hall. I could see the room filled with pack members. Conrad and Uziel were standing on the makeshift stage at the end of the room. Conrad extended his hand, and I gratefully accepted it as he helped me on the stage. Uziel stood at the center with Conard next to him while I stood comfortably next to Conrad. His hand wrapped around my waist and it made me a little shy with the fact that we had the pack members watching our every move. Uziel cleared h
Everything happened in a blur; Conrad had made sure to get Kruz’s body away before I even opened my eyes. Clara, on the other hand, tried her best to free herself. I could see her struggle, her agony on not being able to perform magic. I wanted her to feel every bit of the pain she has inflicted on me. I wanted her to know how to it feels to be helpless. Tears continued to stream down her face, and surprisingly enough, I did not feel upset seeing her that way. “Please, let me go. I promise, I would never bother you again.” She pleaded “You still have audacity to think you could be forgiven?” Uziel asked, his anger and hatred clear in his voice, and the way she flinched, she knew it was for her. “Please, I am sorry. Let me go. I promise to never come back.” She pleaded pathetically making me scoff. “Cordelia, please, help me.” She pleaded with me; it didn’t affect like it normally would. “After everything you did, you still expect me to
After we have shared the vows, both of us stared at each other to signal that we were ready. “You may now mark the bride,” Uziel smiled at Conrad, who tossed his face to me and then looked around. Clara and Kruz were standing very close to us, as I said, there were not many people attending the wedding. “I have a concern,” I suddenly objected and that led both Clara and Kruz to share a glance and then watch me. “We don’t have time, Cordelia.” Clara spoke very anxiously; her eyes weren’t able to focus on one spot. She was quickly looking around to avoid eye contact at any cost. “Maybe she is not ready to help her husband out yet,” Kruz tried to play mind games, pressuring me into showing my sincerity for Conrad.“You are just a Beta, don’t speak on the behalf of your Queen,” Conrad, who had been desperately waiting to punish Kruz, muttered and it shocked him. Kruz had been with him since they were kids, that’s when he thought he deserved more power than him. "I
We couldn’t sleep the whole night. I told him everything in the next few hours."I can't believe Kruz wants me gone." Conrad and I had been lying naked under a blanket and cuddled up. Now that he knew everything, we didn't really need those."When I was first brought here, he as*aulted me in the dungeon," I still recalled everything he had done to me. I noticed Conrad pulling away from me and sitting in the bed, he was staring at me with a frown on his forehead, "the day your father found me using magic, I was actually saving myself from him because he was - - - he was going to r*** me." once I finished, he made tight fists of his hands and tried to get out of the bed but I grasped his arm and pulled him back."We have to be very careful about what we do, we have no idea who else they have under them. They might have casted a spell on most of the mansion, let's not do anything in haste." I rubbed his hand between my hands to calm him down as he breathed heavily like a bull.
"What? I don't know what you are saying. Why would I want your virginity?" He shook his head and started dialing her number again.I knew what was happening and how he can break this spell, well, the answer was right there.Only he can break this spell and set himself free."Because you won't be able to feel my touch after tomorrow." now that I knew Selene won't be able to read his mind or hear what I was saying since she was long asleep, I started opening up to him.There was a mist forming in his eyes, I knew he was feeling helpless and bad for not being able to hold me tight and tell me it will be fine, like he would always do. I remember I used to push him away because of the people around us, because of that link, but I was now realising how much his hug, his arms had boosted my confidence in the past. Yes! we humans do take smallest things for granted but when we lose them only then we realise how important and how special they were to us."What do you me---an,"
I stole my eyes from Clara and began to brainstorm an excuse. The instant Uziel got upo from his seat and left for his room, I cleared mu throat to explain my motives. “I wanted to know why my mother tried to kill me. I just cannot understand that she did it only for power, she loved me.” I was lying out of my mind, fearing if she would even believe me at this point but then she passed me a sad smile and it gave me enough confident to keep moving on.“Cordelia! Evil people dpnt need reasons to hurt ypu, they just find a way to do it and they do it,” now that I was aware of her true intentions, her fake smile and comforting tone was not enough to console me. “You are right!” I whispered under my breath and noticed Kruz and Conrad leaving the table. I knew Kruz only stayed behind to make sure I wasn’t doing anything behind their backs or I have not got up on them. “What is happening between you and Conrad? I noticed the change in his attitude towards you, I thought you
I was sprinting to Uziel’s room, my heart was beating like a drum and my skin covered in goosebumps. Somebody has to listen to me or they will succeed in their evil plans. Before knocking on his door, I gathered myself together and plastered a fake smile across my lips. He opened the door and stared at me in confusion, I don’t think he was expecting me to pay him a visit and disturb his peace. “I am so sorry your highness, but the matter in hand was important. Clara and I want to get the access to the books of magic, we are preparing for the ritual and i---,” I don’t think he wanted me to explain, he was ready to do anything for his son. “Here, please make sure everything goes perfectly.” He had the same misery in his eyes that he had when he asked me last time to help his son. I took the keys from his hand and gave him a satisfactory smile, despite being heavily scared and confused myself. He didn’t even know that his son was now even under some kind of spell. I mar
I kept listening to her and the more I heard, the more I shivered in my skin. But she wasn’t alone neither was she on the call. It seemed as there was somebody inside with her. “The plan is simple; Conrad is not getting free from this curse.” There was content in her tone as if she had no worries that it was living person she was talking about. “But why did the crystal show Cordelia as his mate?” My stomach formed a knot when I recognized the voice. I had to cover my mouth to prevent the gasp of horror heaving my lips. Kruz!It was Kruz with Clara.“Imogen had decided to kill two birds with one stone.” Listening my mother’s name from her lips hit me like a bullet, “She wants Cordelia dead so that she can get the powers for herself because as long Cordelia lives, there will be a fear among us, she will never let us hurt Conrad or the pack. Tomorrow when Conrad marks her, the ritual we will perform will not lift up the curse but kill his mate. After she is dead,
We have all been gathered by Clara in the living room at night time where she wanted to discuss the ritual in detail. Now I understood that even if I was not related to the witch who had cursed Conrad, I would have still not been able to lift the curse because of how unprepared I was. She had put out different things this time, there was a crystal ball on the desk that I don’t remember being used in this ritual. “This is a new thing for you, I bought it for a purpose.” Clara watched me eyeing the crystal and it made her mention me, “There are a few steps that we need to take in order to completely free him from this ritual.” She stated and then started explaining it in detail, “In these three days, we will need to do it on the day of his wedding, right after he marks his mate.” As she announced, my heart flipped inside my chest and I tossed my face to Conrad, who looked very shocked as well. “Mate?” Conrad repeated and then shook his head, “I already have one.” He didn’t
