The bride’s dressing room was a paradox of beauty and menace. Soft golden light spilled from a crystal chandelier above, casting warm halos onto the walls painted in a muted cream tone. Ornate mirrors stood before the bride and her makeup artist. A bouquet of white roses sat in a porcelain vase, their delicate fragrance nearly masking the faint metallic tang of anxiety that hung in the air. Yet, despite the serene charm of the room, a chilling tension undercut its elegance. The bride's eyes, sharp and unyielding, scanned the room with a clinical detachment, her crimson-painted lips curving into a smile too perfect, too controlled with the room echoing her energy. Every gesture of hers was memorized, calm, and unnervingly charged, as if it, too, was complicit in whatever thoughts she concealed beneath her flawless exterior. This was no nervous bride preparing for her big day—this was a woman donning her armor, readying herself for something far darker than vows. Elora smiled, her to
The creaking sound of the door opening increased the tightness of her fist around the gun, the door opened slowly, and for a second Elora thought, " This should be the moment I'm most blinded by rage, the moment I take my revenge with the utmost fury, but excitement is seething through my veins; I must have gone crazy, or maybe I'm not; maybe this is how it feels when the fury is too much." The door finally opens widely revealing the gorgeous bride. All heads turned towards the door and they all gasped by the sight. ~ Is that Elora? ~ ~ What's that?~ ~Did she cut her wedding gown off? What the heck! How could she turn it to that? ~ ~ what's going on ~ ~ What's going on with her? Why is she in sneakers? ~ ~What's she holding behind her ?~Listening to the loud murmurs, she felt the urge to burst into laughter which she kept forcing herself to suppress. She looked around the bright hall as she stepped inside and nothing filled her eyes but disdain. The elegant fragrance
( Still three weeks ago ~ On Earth) " Should I just die? Kill myself? Or Run far away where no one could ever find me?" Scarlett sighed as she asked herself while staring out of the window of her room, which is now a reflection of her feelings and mood. Her face dropped gloomily, her empty eyes watching everyone in a high mood as always, laughing and playing around, smiling and giggling like the whole world evolves around them while she's stuck in the shell of loneliness and scars. Her fingers clasped together like in search of a hopeless companion with her nose exhaling a continuous weary sigh. The faces that smiled at each other were the same faces that bullied her countless times, called her names, and trampled on her because she was the shadow of the entire pack. " Are you thinking of committing suicide again?". The voice interrupted her thought with a startle. She looked back and chuckled at seeing her best friend standing by the doorstep with her funny, angry face o
" what are they doing here?", Scarlett asked turning back at Elora, " They...", " What do you mean what are we doing here? Of course, to go along with you to Alpha Damien's mansion." Karine cut Lora's short, chewing her gum loudly l. Scarlett's breath trembled as she clenched her fist before raising her head to look at Elora, " Do you bring them here?" she asked, " They said they want to come along", " With whose permission?", " Scarlett..", " Stop! I don't need anyone to follow me, I'm good on my own", she said and turned to leave, " You sure you're good? I mean, I guess you might need someone to console you when he brutally rejects you". Cynthia chuckled forcing back a laughter. " Karine!", Elora called angrily. " Thanks for your gesture but I don't need you", she said before storming out of the room. " Scarlett! Scarlett!!," Elora called after her but she left without looking back, hopping into the waiting car that drove off the moment she got in. " Seriously Karine?"
" The rejection of course", " Who said I'm rejecting you?". Like the whole time stopped Scarlett felt her blood stop flowing too out of shock. " Eh?" her widened eyes and agape mouth let out. Damien gave her a smile that was so charming and soothing, " I'm not rejecting you as my mate, Scarlett; my purpose for calling this meeting is for us to meet and get to know each other, not to reject you". Scarlett eyes were still wide open, it felt like a dream, and she nearly forgot how to breathe. " Are you..serious? You're not..rejecting me?", " No", he chuckled, " why would I reject you, you're such a beautiful lady", "I.I. I can't offer anything", she let out in confusion. He smirked, " really? I don't think so", " I'm serious, I can't even turn into a wolf I'm all pack's shadow", " Not to me. And don't worry about not being able to transform. I'm an alpha, I'll protect you", he said and they both got lost in each other's stare. He stood up and went to sit right b
Elora twisted the knob of the door open, stepping into the bright sitting room. The slamming sound of the door closing alerted her mother of the arrival of someone in the room. " I'm home" " she announced, collapsing on the couch, tilting her head to the back, and staring at the Chandelier that hung over at the center of the room. Confirming it was her daughter, " You're back, how was your day dear?", She asked strolling out of the kitchen corner," It was nice," Elora replied, getting warm up with the coolness and warmness of the room, unlike where she was coming from," and your,s, Mum?"." It was good, business was fine", Mrs. Dora said emerging into the sitting room and joining Elora on the couch." I thought you were going with Scarlett to see the alpha until I saw your message that you're at Jordan's party instead"," Yeah.."," What happened? Why didn't you follow her?"," She told me she wants to go alone"," Just like that? Did you guys fight?"," Not at all. Just some this-
The wedding preparations buzzed with a joyful energy that filled every corner of the house. Scarlett wasn't expecting the day to be that bright, all thanks to her friend, Elora, who was moving from one corner to another, making sure everything was perfect and in order. The floral scent of freshly delivered bouquets wafted through the air, mingling with the faint aroma of coffee brewing in the kitchen and a symphony of chaos and excitement. Dresses hung like ethereal clouds on wardrobe doors, while trays of makeup and hairpins sprawled across the countertops, ready to work their transformative magic.While getting things ready, Elora's gaze fell on the bride, seated on a high-backed chair in her ivory lace gown, which draped carefully across her lap with the stylist behind her. Elora dropped the veil in her hand and walked up to her; she smiled and bent to her level, holding her hand and whispering words of calm. Elora, dressed in a simple yet elegant bridesmaid dress, she exudes a qu
Scarlett's feet trembled as she walked down the stairs, her heart felt so heavy with aches that's suffocating. The light of her hope was extinguished within a second. Her body wanted to burst into laughter and screams." Why? Why? Why me?", she was still asking herself when she bumped into someone at the end of the stairs. She looked up with her teary eyes to see the blonde lady, Moraine." Good evening," she greeted with nothing but emptiness in her voice and then made walk away, but Moraine pulled her back roughly with her hair.Familiar with the situation and pain, Moraine was pulling her hair while her two friends stood behind her. The situation reminded her of Karine and her friends.She gasped at the irony, but Moraine pulled her hair harder, and this time it hurt her, and she yelped in pain." Who do you think you are, strolling in here like a goddess, and stealing my friend's man, you've got no fear"," Ah! Please let go", she cried grabbing Moraine's hand as she pulled her ha
Sitting across Larsen in the living room along with his right-hand beta standing behind him, Ember feels more at ease with the three of them just in the room, but his dark aura and unwavering blank stare make her thigh tremble, though she tries not to show it." Do you have an idea you can't meet a slave unless it's for a purchase?", Larsen asked," No, not at all, I had no idea"," Well, now you do"," Please, please allow me to meet her", she pleaded," Why?".She bit her lips, unable to give a response." Is there no reason why you want to meet her?"," Yes, there is. I want to tell her about my marriage with her father."Larsen furrowed his brow, reading through her body language that spoke differently from what she was uttering." Hm", he nodded, " it doesn't seem so important but I can allow you"," Really?", her eyes popping out in surprise and her face curled up," But what will I get it return?",The next question extinguished the kindled light of joy and relief in her." Huh
" Don't you dare touch me"," B..".Not allowing her to talk, he slammed his lips against hers one more time still pinning her hands above her and using his other hand to grope her breasts. Her knees grew weak, she couldn't help but moan and when he leaned forward to take her nipple into his mouth, she nearly fell.Her stomach quivered and her whole body shook in anticipation. He sucked and bite her nipples hungrily, tearing off the last shred of cloth on her, her panties. Her body craved the need to be laid down, but he kept her in the standing position till he couldn't wait any longer.Still pinning her hands against the wall, he grabbed her thigh and wrapped her legs around his waist, letting her feel his huge hard rod against her entrance. Her body shook, her entrance throbbing in anticipation, which he didn't let her wait long for. She was wet and ready for him.He placed his shaft and shoved it in roughly, earning a loud moan from her. Without starting off slowly, he started ram
Luke jumped back as Damien smashed the glass cup of alcohol against the wall beside him; he turned to look at Luke, panting and clenching his jaw and hands." You need to take it easy Damien, staying angry won't solve anything"," Get out"," You've been indoors all these days, drinking and smashing things against the wall, this is not going to provide the way forward"," I said get out!", he growled, his hand transforming to wolf angrily. Luke stepped back, pretending to want to go out, but stayed when he saw his hand transforming back to human." What exactly about the whole situation is pissing you off?", he asked," Isn't it clear, how he looked at me that day like I was nothing!", he yelled referring to Larsen, " just because his clan ranks higher, I made a deal with Kesler and yet I failed!"," You didn't"," I did, I always fail, I couldn't even save her, I couldn't protect her "," She rejected your protection, she doesn't want to be saved and she stated it clearly that day, w
' this would implicate me; I'm in trouble, 'the guard said in his mind with his heart pounding so hard against his chest and his knees quivering. The slave who ran away is the Alpha's attacker; what if he got framed for helping her escape? That's also telling that he might be involved in the attack plan, and that's treason. Realizing this, the guard anxiously ran outside, shifting into a wolf and howling out as loudly as he could. More wolves began to gather and howl loudly, alerting everyone in the pack.Elora's heavy breathing and her fast-racing feet halted with the sudden alert, she turned back upon hearing the howls of wolves, and she knew they'd find out. It started getting noisy, and she could see the light moving, alerting her and causing the hairs on her skin to rise." C'mon, Elora, go faster!" Naya said agitatedly.Elora ran as fast as she could, trying to shift to her wolf, which was abortive; her heart broke even as she raced. She knew she could have gone faster, she cou
" Seriously?! I'm fighting about you not dying before getting your revenge, and you're not even caring", Naya yelled desperately, seeing the guard fast approaching.Elora scoffed nonchalantly, " You think I'm buying that? You're doing this for me? And what's in for you?"," I want your trust, give and take, I help you escape, leave the pack, and find a way to get your revenge while you tell me what the curse is"," Hmmm", Elora hummed looking up to see the guard almost getting to them.Feeling anxious, Naya waited eagerly for her answer." Okay".Yes! Naya nearly voiced out her happiness, they switched and she took over Elora's body.' this crazy bitch again, why is she looking at me and smiling ', the guard said in his mind frowning and feeling more uncomfortable.He avoided looking at her creepy smile as he unchained her and dragged her off." Hi," Naya greeted with a smile, " I'm Rionaya, and you?".He gave her a weird glare before ignoring her." Okay, you're a private guard," sh
Larsen grabbed her wrist and pushed her roughly, sending her to the ground where she hit her butt heavily. She winced in pain but ignored it as well as the busy yelling Naya in her head." Are you crazy? What on earth are you doing?", Naya yelled in her head, " stop!".Elora jumped on her feet, panting, and shouted, aiming for him once more time, which surprised Larsen even more; before she could get to him, he had vanished like he teleported.Before she knew what was going on, he was standing behind her. She turned angrily only to feel a heavy hit against her wrist, weakening her hold of the knife that fell to the ground; unable to grasp the speed, her hands were held together behind her with her back smashed to the table roughly, and his hands strangling her throat.She choked, wriggling and kicking, but it was all useless. She looked up into angry eyes looking down at her like he could kill her right at the moment with just a snap." Is this stupidity or foolishness?!", he growled
She never felt her heart pound as much as it was pounding; Elora kept running with an aching heart and fear, sweats wetting every part of her body, soaking her clothes into desperation to survive. Her eyes were brimming with tears with heavy chest as she ran. She was startled when she saw some giant wolves jumping out of nowhere and pouncing on the omegas and tearing them apart brutally with their teeth and claws.Gasping and panting heavily in fear, she took another route, dashing through the woods with all her strength, but she was far behind, and more fear gripped her heart, knowing a wolf could jump out anytime and devour her, but her legs didn't stop running.An instinct to change direction hit her and just when she did, she almost hit a wolf that jumped out aiming for her, her sudden change of direction made her miss the gnarling teeth waiting for her but she got even more scared knowing a predator was after her and ran even faster but suddenly, a wolf swept her off her feet, th
The deep, resonant sound of a bell echoed through the whole building, the loud gong sound alerting the slaves and causing their hearts to skip so hard, beating with heavy fears that caused their bodies to tremble for what was to come.Elora looked around in confusion as she saw the slaves getting on their feet and gathering together." What sound is that?", she asked curiously," That is the sound that tells us nothing, but we're about to die", Libby answered before swallowing down hardly," Huh?", Elora stood up, standing between Bree and Libby and looking with so much confusion and curiosity.Without asking questions, she followed her cellmates to gather along with the other slaves and she could see the same fear vivid on their faces which made her heart beat even faster and the situation made it even weirder knowing Rionaya would have reacted or yelled or screamed but she's so quiet like she's never in her head." What kind of death is coming for us?", she couldn't keep the curiosi
Left alone in Larsen's office, the silence in the room scares the poor Magnus who stood behind the closed door outside. He heard no movement inside nor any sound, and he feared that the two brothers might have brutally killed each other.He'll not be surprised nor shocked to see that Larsen has murdered his brother without a sound, he has a reputation as an assassin, he's not just a Mafia alpha, but known as a silence god whose beauty would weaken your knees into submission, his rigid footsteps that echo can suddenly go lifeless like no legs were moving only to have your head out of your neck the next minute. Larsen is known for killing in the most brutal and gruesome way and yet in the cleanest, quiet, and smoothest way. This reputation of his feared Magnus to the core.Inside the room is Larsen standing by the window and staring out into nothingness while his brother, Elia, who reeks of alcohol, sits on the sofa.The two brothers had nothing in common; Elia is 5'6, shorter unlike th
