West Gaulinavia. PAST LOVE LIFE. Thomas walked Into Ash's office without knocking. The room that was once a luxurious office , had been converted into a wild one. Broken glasses, books here and there, tore to pieces. Chairs split into halves. He shook his head. "She cheated on me, she kissed him." Ash already felt the presence of his best friend even before he entered the office. "You shouldn't have been so hard on her." Romeo replied. He bent to pick the books now useless on the floor. " She was kissing him, you even saw it. Tell me if she was your mate, would you live to even let him live? " 'No ! I will kill him!' Romeo confirmed in his mind, but he replied openly to his best friend. " But she didn't cheated on you. He was only wooing her, flirting with her. Rose loves you Ash.... "Then she shouldn't have done what she did! It hurts so much Ash when I remember her with that man it hurts!" And it did hurt, Romeo could tell it with the piece of sharp glass Ash clutched in
THOMAS. The hall was full of people. And I wasn't surprised as all these people turned out to be people of the first class, the nobles, important men and women, alphas and their mates. Not even a single commoner was present. Ash held my hand softly as we made our way to the stairs to face the crowd. In my flowing red gown and red mask, I was like a little rose in the arms of my lover. Ash , with his face coverd in his hold mask, looked down at me, raised my jaw and kissed me. "Are you ready?" He asked and kissed me again. Feeling special, I nodded. "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our host for the night, Lord Ash, the great and mighty alpha of the crescent pack, and by his side, is the lady of the hour, our most precious treasure, the luna of the crescent pack, the most beautiful woman ever known, our jewel, our heartbeat,our sexy, gorgeous, expensive and most precious ....... "Hey, hey hey that's enough!" Ivan shivered when he heard Ash's harsh and angry voice behind
HENRYThe night was starry, as I sat outside. I sipped on my glass of wine, and made to effort to adjust my creased brows.My heart was filled with nothing but rage. The cool breeze which played on the leaves of trees, one, under which I was seated.Lazarus had a mate? I clicked my tongue, yet again, as I waited for someone. Someone that'd be the right person to cause chaos, in the semi peaceful castle.They were happy, weren't they? He had no right to be with another woman. I was his, and he was mine.I heard a rustle sounds, from feet, meeting the dried leaves on the ground. I turned sharply, my ears alert. I couldn't afford to let any other person, aside that person see me.A uniformed woman, with a cloak appeared from behind the thicket.She drew close, and bowed. "My lady." Her voice was somewhat shaky, and I could tell she was nervous. Her fingers shook, as she clasped them, over the other."Who is she?" I asked calmly, rising to my full height.She was the head cook, and my all
Rory “You should not be questioning my decision.” I roared out. “Oh yes we should and I hope you are aware that you are not an Alpha quite yet. You are still nothing but a student. The only reason you are standing is because your father, who is the Alpha, is sick. We are accountable to your father but you are still accountable to us.” The head of the council said, causing silence in the whole hall. “And he Isn’t even married.” “Such insolence.” “He can't dictate without being endorsed.” “I hope you are aware you can't claim the position if you are not yet married. Even if you are the eligible ruler you can’t ascend the throne without a mate. So now you are just feeling like a mere substitute for your father.” “What exactly do you want me to do?” I asked in a fit of rage because it seemed they were trying to get on my nerves on purpose. Can’t they see my father was struggling for his life? “We can’t determine what you are to do.” Neto my dad’s Beta retorted. “Then perhaps you
BACK AT THE CORRECTIONAL CENTER.LARA.I stood up after some minutes,at least everyone would have taken good seats and started eating so no one would notice me.I went over to her office and saw her also leaving for lunch.“Is this the right time for you to see me? Oh please use your initiative, You should come later.” She said and walked past me, bulging her shoulder on mine.I finally went into the cafeteria trying to be as invincible as I could be because the last thing I wanted was to draw any sort of attention to myself.I went over,took a tray and my food was served,I heaved a sigh of relief because I had my food without any obstructions,or so I thought.“Is that your food or is it for dogs.?” I heard a feminine voice say out as I turned to leave.Everyone turned over to look at me and I wished I could just bury my face in my palm forever.“Didn’t you hear?I am talking to you.” She added and I finally turned.“How may I help you?” I tried to act like I didn’t hear what she was
THE CORRECTIONAL CENTER.LARKINWaiting for the perfect time, I finally striked with my arrow hitting the heart of the poor deer. Jumping down from the tree, I walked up to the deer with a pitiful face. “Poor thing," I whined before grabbing it and throwing it across my shoulder. “What took you so long?” Alfred asked. Staring at the man, I tried not to say out my frustrated feelings, I had spent just fifteen minutes but I guess they always had something to complain about when it comes to me. “Give her a break!” Karina shouted as she came to where I was being interrogated. She was my hero, as always. “Get it to the kitchen and prepare it.” He ordered, stammering as I tried to object. I shut my mouth as I met his annoyed face. This was how my life was, it was undeniable that I was a slave. It wasn’t till I was branded or anything, having a choice in your life decision means you were independent and that was something I never had, though craving so much for it. “Stop t
THE CORRECTIONAL CENTER.LARKIN“Is he your mate?” I was quite confused. “I was forced to go over to his place. He had offered them a nice piece of a treaty. They just wanted to be on his good side, he had requested for me in return.” She said with tears. I was ashamed of her parents, they didn’t care about Karina in all of this. Karina hadn’t seen him before, she didn’t know what he looked like, what he liked and so on.I couldn’t believe that they could do this to Karina, their only daughter. “What about your mate?” I asked again as it all sounded absorbed to me. “I have no choice but to reject him if I get to meet him in the near future.” She replied as I pulled her into a long embrace. “I won’t accept this, they can’t do this to you.” I said as I pulled out of the embrace. Ready to go over to their chambers, Karina was a sweet little girl. Her peaceful nature was enough to melt one’s heart. She was my best friend, my mind tugged me as I knew I was part of the reason she wa
THE CORRECTIONAL CENTER.Larkin adjusted her position on the hard bed she was lying on. She made a mental note to talk to Mr Philips about getting a more softer bed.Ever since Elise and her mates left the pack, a little more favorable attitude had been displayed towards her. She'd even gotten a phone, which was said to be delivered by Rory.Her phone rang at that moment, and she picked it up, without any fear whatsoever that she'd be reprimanded."Benjamin is in danger." A panicky voice said from the other end, making her heart skip a beat.She didn't get to say a word, before the person hung up. It was her sister; Claire. Perhaps the Moon goddess decided to bless her by giving her supportive foster siblings.It wasn't the first time Benjamin was getting into troubles of this sorts and Claire was sure as hell, that it wasn't going to be the last. No matter how hard she tried she couldn't make him understand the world was a wicked place. As much as he is an intelligent young man, Be
The rain poured down as hard as it could, the splatters, creating a little puddle in holes, by the roadside. The cloudy sky didn't show if it'd stop raining anytime soon.Rory sat on a chair, by the roadside, watching as he had been doing, before it even started raining. And he didn't have any intention of leaving anytime soon.His phone was tucked in his coat pocket, and without worries that the rain might damage it, not that it would anyway, he whistled to himself.He couldn't tell how long he had been sitting for, giving no reaction whatsoever. Not even when a concerned middle-aged man had offered him an umbrella. He hadn't accepted it, nor did he thank the man. Not even when a drenched dog, had barked its way close to him.He sat still, his hands placed on his wet lap, studying the wet environs. The air was filled with the sweet smell of rain meeting Earth. Although he wasn't in the mood to acknowledge the beauty of nature, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.Just then, his ph
CHAPTER 105The sun had just set behind the mountains, and the sky had turned into a beautiful shade of orange and pink. The atmosphere was filled with bliss.As the night wore on, the drinking began. The members of the pack passed around large jugs of honey wine, which they drank from large gourds. The wine flowed freely, and soon everyone was feeling a little light-headed and giddy. The merriment continued late into the night, with people laughing and singing, and the drums beating in the background.Finally, as the moon rose high in the sky, there was a sudden hush. Almost as if tye merriment spirit had been seized. Little by little, they all retired to their various homes, till there was no one left at the square.As Alpha Rory stood gazing through the window, at the view outside, his imposing figure wasn't masked. He was one with broad shoulders. It was already hours since Elise left his mansion, and he was already changed into another outfit. He was dressed in a fine silk robe,
CHAPTER 104."Why don't we go to my place?" Alpha Rory said, making Elise blink. "What?" She frowned."Please." And he shrugged, throwing a look towards her son.She was silent for some minutes. And when she spoke, against her wish, she found herself saying "Okay."Seeing the contented smile that spread across his face at her response, made her want to desperately eat her words. However, she decided against it, when her son suddenly dashed into the room.She threw a long angry look at Rory who was still intently watching her, without a word. She followed suit, as she decided to get ready. If she was right, by 'my place,' he probably meant his pack. If that was right, then she knew she had to get ready. She massaged her temple, suddenly feeling dizzy. Everything was happening so fast that she felt she couldn't keep up.....The car pulled over at the front of a beautiful looking mansion, and Elise stepped down from it. Her son followed suit.The grandeur of the mansion at their front
"So, what do you say, young man?" Alpha Rory questioned, as he watched the young man who was nonchalantly sipping on the glass of wine which had been served to him. They were currently at his pack.And for the umpteenth time, Rory wondered if he had acted in his own interest at all.Barely after his decision to while away time at a private island the previous day, which hadn't actually worked. All the time he had spent at the island, had filled his mind with nothing but thoughts of Elise. Was he that soft?"Why did you abduct me?" He heard the young man say yet again, and his gaze darted to him. He remained silent for a while, without a word. In his eyes was the same spark which Elise's held. The calm and calculated way in which he spoke was the same with Elise's. Uncanny resemblance."You're being trailed." Without mincing words, Rory said. He didn't let his gaze leave the latter. What was his name again? Alex was it? That was right.However, when his expression didn't change, Rory's
A CLUB"Having fun?" Rieka asked loudly, staring at Aella.Her voice wasn't loud as expected. The music in the club was too loud and Aella wouldn't be able to hear her if she didn't raise her tone."Yeah," Aella nodded, smiling. Rieka has been by her side ever since her parents passed away. She has helped in so many ways by caring for her and consoling her when needed. She had helped her out of the trauma of the death of her parents.Aella looked at her lovingly."What?" Rieka caught her staring at her. "Come on, don't get all emotional right now. Let's have fun tonight, okay?" Rieka urged."Oh! Yeah…. We should," they both laughed heartily.Rieka smiled deeply as they held each other's hands while dancing. It's been long she saw her best friend smile this way. It wasn't a bad idea bringing her here, anyways. Aella's happiness has always been a priority to her since they shared the same pain. Pain of not having parents to look after them. They were just 22.She sighed. She must make
CHAPTER 101.The sunlight poured into the room immediately Elise pulled back the curtains. She winced, and returned them to their original positions.She had slept in, and was feeling so fatigued. The previous night, she had a movie night with her dear son, and it was taking a toll on her. She glanced at her skin. It wasn't wrinkled one bit.Would she never become human? She sighed and was about to head back to her room, when she heard the doorbell ring. Her eyes narrowed. She had no human friend, and wasn't even expecting anyone. Who was it at the door?With agile steps, she hurried to the door. Her heart thudded against her chest, as her tempo increased. As it always did whenever she sensed something ominous.A young smiling man was at the door, when she opened it. Her brows narrowed, as she tried recalling where she'd seen him. "And you are?" Not trusting herself to speak, especially not to a stranger, she let the words out. He didn't respond. Her frown deepened. She was still a
CHAPTER 100.“You look absolutely lovely.”I nodded with a small smile and she led the way out of the room and into the hallway. We passed by several maids, all dressed in the same black and white uniform she had on, running up and down the halls, dusting surfaces while chattering away.They’d pause briefly, staring me up and down and muttering incoherent words, and then they’d go back to their cleaning. I felt quite uncomfortable under their watchful eyes, but the maid in charge of me, whose name I did not yet know, gave my hand a small squeeze and whispered into my ears.“They’re all saying you look lovely.” I smiled at her, thankful that I had someone that nice looking after me.We soon arrived at the door to the throne room and she stopped just before me.“I’ll be out here waiting.” She said, I muttered a ‘thank you’ to her before disappearing behind the doors.The throne room was enormous, with sunlight pouring in from the large windows and every inch of the room screaming royalt
CHAPTER 99.The words were out before he could stop it. He turned his gaze away, and looked through the window, at the sky which was getting darkened every seconds that passed by."Me too," It was moments before he heard the soft whisper, behind him. He turned in doubt, as if afraid it had been his imagination."It seems it wants to rain," Elise whispered in the dark. As if to confirm her words, a flash of lightning crossed the sky."I guess." He replied, with a nod, at loss of what to say.Silence reigned, none of them venturing to speak. He felt the edge of the bed sink in, and turning to see what it was, softness pressed against his chest. He gulped loudly."What are you doing?" He whispered hoarsely."Doing what you're deliberating within yourself, to do." She replied, as she wiggled her hip gently.Gently, not moving her gaze away from his, she straddled him, and grinded softly against him. He moaned softly, and wrapped his hands around her waist, pressing her harder against him.
CHAPTER 98. LARKIN The woods was silent, as I walked deeper into it. I avoided the thorny shrubs, clasping my hands behind my back, and humming a tune to myself. So relaxed, was I, like I had nothing to do that morning. Like I didn't promise my mother to help her clean up the house. The woods was dark, the only source of light, was the Sundays, which cut down through the leaves on their branches, above. I soon got to my favorite spot, and began stripping, when I suddenly heard a sound. My ears perked up, and a frown crept up my face. I whirled around towards the direction where the sound had come from, however, I didn't move an inch. I listened yet again, and heard it. It sounded low, than the former. Cracked, like someone in pain. With my heart thudding against my chest, I inched closer to the thicket. I gulped down nervously, but strangely enough, I wasn't afraid. "Any one there?" I called out, boldly. I soon got to a huge tree, and a glance made me gasp.Crouched at the sid
