The clock had just struck 1AM when Tiana decided to take her studying over to the house. Walking down the now dimly lit aisle she only paused to put a book back in it's place and to bid Carol the librarian and the guard at the door a goodnight. As she made her way down the familiar hallways she suddenly started to get an off feel about the place, like the feeling of someone watching you. Stopping she peered over her shoulder and true to that there was a dark figure standing still just watching her. He was oddly still like a statue of a sort, just standing there in the middle of the hallway directly behind her.

Choosing to ignore it she continued walking, mentally passing it off as someone studying late like she. But that didn't get rid of the eerie feeling of fear creeping up her spine and poisoning her heart.

"It's just probably someone from class, nothing serious. Your not in any danger not at all", Tiana muttered trying to calm her nerves. If that's true then look again to see if you're not being followed, she thought stopping in her tracks at it. " No I'm just being paranoid. I mean who can stalk me and for what? It's not like I'm carrying precious jewels or anything right?" Silence. "Right?"

Her question was once again met by silence as if the thought and voice in her mind actually belonged to someone else. She started to walk again this time faster choosing to look behind once she got at least ten steps ahead and when she did the figure was there still keeping the same distance as before, but this time it followed her movements closely. Slowly realization started to creep in making her break into a sprint. She looked over her shoulder to see the shadowy figure doing the same confirming her suspicion.

The brief distraction sent her straight into a person walking opposite to her as she made a left turn towards the schools back door.

"Ahhhhhhhh", she let out a loud shrike her heart was surely about to explode at that moment. It also didn't when the person put a hand over her mouth and another around her waist. Out of instincts she bit into his hand.

"Ahhh, oh my god Tiana!" The man said wincing in pain. She immediately turned her gaze to look up at his face.

"Christoph!?" She exclaimed.

"Yes it's me and I think you damage my favorite finger," he said.

" I'm so sorry I thought... I thought your the bad guy", Tiana said pulling a strand of hair out of her mouth while trying to catch her breath.

" What bad guy?" Christoph asked still cradling his hurt right hand.

" I don't know but someone was following me and they looked pretty scary"

"Why's that?"

"Because they didn't have a face.... I mean maybe they did but I ... I couldn't see it from afar"

Silence enveloped them for a few seconds.

"Ah... Are you sure you're feeling fine? Because that totally didn't make sense", Christoph said raising an eyebrow at her.

"You know what it doesn't matter I have to get home", Tiana replied not willing to justify herself.

"No, I didn't..... I didn't mean to upset you. It's just hard to work around what you've just explained", Christoph said trying to apologize.

"Yeah okay... Ah. Sorry about your hand I'll help pay your medical bill as for now I need to get back home", she took a step forward and exited the building into the cool night air. The feeling of impeding danger enveloped her once more when she was almost to the ground. Fear was all she was about to feel once more when Christoph came to her rescue once more. Even though she didn't want to say it the minute he called out to her she felt relieved.

"Hey! Wait up", he said. When he was next to her he asked her if he could walk her home, she gave him a slight nod and let him lead the way.

They had to go through the garden to get there and at this hour the garden looked so magical. It was Tiana's favorite place when heading home at night. She loved how the lanterns complimented the trees and the flowers, the yellow glow just made everything look calming.

"Night queen", muttered Christoph finally breaking the silence.

"Huh?"

"The flowers, their a variety but are all called night queen or queen of the night", he clarified.

"Well I love how they smell. I find their sent pleasant and calming", she said.

" This one is the Epiphyllum oxypetalum, princess of the night or queen of the night. It's a species of cactus that rarely blooms and only at night, and its flowers wilt before dawn. I like to think of it like a story of life and death in a way", Christoph spoke in a lite tone suiting the mood around them, calm and quiet.

" You seem to know so much about flowers huh?" Tiana asked.

" Not as much. I only took interest in them because of my mother", he answered his voice now laced with sadness.

" Oh, where is she now?" Tiana quired.

" She's..... She passed away when I turned seventeen". Tiana stopped to peer at him, the look on his face didn't hide anything and now she truly saw him. They where now closer to the house but she didn't feel like parting ways definitely not after he just said that.

" My grandma also loved flowers, I guess that's why walking down this path calms me, because it makes me feel like she's still here with me", she chose to say rather than apologize because she new sorry wasn't something he needed to hear; just like she didn't.

" Yeah, exactly. You get me you know", he smiled down at her and right there Tiana saw him. Not the nerdy guy that always hangout with her best friend but him, the smart, charming and caring Christoph that took time to walk her home because she was scared. Slowly they started inching closer until for a kiss when she remembered something and pulled away just in time. The mood definitely changed quicker than she expected, bit kissing him wasn't right because she still owed him an apology, an explanation and lastly a thank you.

"I'm sorry", he said looking embarrassed.

"No, it's okay...I mean I kinda went for it first", she assured him.

"Yeah, it's a good thing you pulled away. I definitely don't want to get in trouble with Douglas he'd---"

" What? Why would Mr Douglas care?" Tiana asked defensively.

" Because you guys are dating", Christoph said unsure.

" Hell no! Eeeew!" She shriked disguted.

" Then why did you--"

" Listen it's complicated. At that time I was planning to ask out a guy I liked but then you asked me, Jess denied for me because she knew who I was planning to ask someone out. I felt bad I truly did but seriously up to now I seriously don't understand why and how I ended up on a date with Douglas I assure you that there's absolu--" Christoph cut her off with a kiss. That's when she realized she did like him, because what else could she call the butterflies in her belly.

When they broke apart she still had her eyes closed hoping that the feeling did not go away. Christoph chuckled and that was enough to break her out of her reverie.

"That's definitely a way I'd like to always shut you up. Though I seriously don't care about the details of that day, I'm just glad you're single. I guess will be having our first date soon, I'll be seeing you," Christoph winked while stepping away from her and when he said good night it's when she broke out of her stupor and realized she was on her door step.

"Goodnight", she whispered entering the house with a huge smile on her face.

    "Hey".His deep voice reverberated in her chest causing her stomach to clench, the effect of his thick accent and voice were enough to give her an orgasm. He wrapped his thick arms around her kissing her neck softly and slowly he unbuttoned her blouse exposing her breasts. Her nipples where erect and the soft pick colour made him groan. He pulled her body flesh against his and the feel of his hardened member against her back was enough to make her moan."Fuck!" She exclaimed feeling so much than she's ever did in her entire life. Her vagina was pulsing, her cheeks were on fire and every inch of her body he touched sent electric impulses shooting from the spot all the way to her core. Her legs instinctively shut when she felt his fingers caressing her lower belly."Open", he commanded and she slowly opened her legs for him. His fingers trilled down to her clit, she didn't even feel him taking her underwear off. He teased her opening feeling how impatient she was getting by the second,

    Tiana was late for her morning classes because she kept an eye out for Christoph. She just wanted to make sure he was okay and that only made everything worse because he was no where in sight. Soon it was lunch time and they were seated in the school café, having a late breakfast with her two best friends and some of their other friends, Ryan, Avery and Micha. "Did you guys get the news?" Ryan asked looking at everyone expectantly. "What news?" Asher quired with a month full of bread. "We have a new Dean, his name is Eros--" Ryan answered their curiosity but was cut off by Avery."Eros? What a weird name", she commented looking very bothered by the name."I know right! That's what I said", Ryan countered."Wait is he the guy that was standing next to Mr Douglas the other day", Micha asked her eyes focused on the coffee in her hands."Yes, him", Ryan confirmed snapping his fingers eagerly."Isn't he too young?" Micha quired."Well I don't know Mahn but his the new dean", Ryan replie

    Troy got up early as usual for his morning run before his morning class. Which so happened to be his favorite so far since the party. He didn't understand his sudden attraction to the curly haired beauty to whose name he had no idea of. It was funny but true. Though he was certain it started with a letter t but whatever came after was a blur to him.He was deep in thought as he ran past the KKDB house where his chosen mate resided. Britney Evenwulf or now know as Mrs Acwulf thanks to their forced mating. If only he had known who she really was he wouldn't have wasted time with her later on marking her. It was too late now since they are a few months away from becoming the parks Alpha and Luna and knowing that chilled him to the bone. He was halfway to his place when he caught a wift of a vanilla scented perfume with a hint of roses. His wolf suddenly sprung up, howling in his mind in victory. "Wonder what's all that about?

    " Shit, shit shit!" Troy exclaimed while running towards his place with in human speed. What was he about to do? Mark her when his barely gotten to know her and his already planning her funeral? The thing is he would if he could but he knew the mating bond he has with Britney would kill her in an instant. Maybe he can mark her wolf? Wait is she even a wolf? Disappointment swelled in his chest at the thought that Tiana might not be a werewolf like him. Then she might be human and that meant he had to let her go. The painful thought tore through his chest making his heart bleed. If only he had waited he would have had her. Though if only means a missed opportunity so there's no point in wishing. It's best he leaves her like that, it would be selfish of him to claim her for himself when he has another mate. Now his question remained.

    "you?" " Hi", Eros said breathlessly, grinning brightly at Tiana. She was taken aback by the situation that her brain shut down for a minute. He was the man that saved her the other day and now he just broke her fall. She slowly returned his smile feeling quite greatful that fate had once again made them run into each other. After a brief second Eros spoke."As much as I'm enjoying this exchange I think it will be more pleasant if we were standing up. Don't you think?" He omitted the part where he didn't want her to move her body at all. For the feeling of her on top of him was so intoxicatingly beautiful that he could get an orgasm right there and then. Though that wouldn't have been a great sight out in the open so he opted against it." Yes ...ah sorry", Tiana giggled as she pushed herself off of him. She gave him a hand and soon enough they were both standing at their full height. He was taller than she is, but not an exaggerated type of height like a basketball player. She esti

    Make up wasn't something Tiana adorned mostly but for some odd reason she wore it for their dinner tonight. She wanted to look attractive, eye catching, she wanted him to actually like her. Or maybe she just wanted to get on his good side so that he wouldn't expel her from his school for something so stupid. Anyway the fact is she wore makeup and got dressed up in a sexy lace black dress that hugged her curves and ended just above the knees. Truth is she achieved her goals.The thought of actually having Eros attracted to her didn't disgust her at all. In fact it thrilled her to the core. Dirty dirty girl. A small part of her though wished her friends were here but a huge part of her was actually happy that it was only going to be the two of them. The door bell rang just then cutting of her thoughts. He was a little late but she wasn't mad at him for that because it gave her a little more time to prepare. She walked down the stairs with grace and poise, past the kitchen and dining to

    •THEA•My heart was beating too fast as my mind went blank at the blinding lights advancing on us. The vehicle was definitely a huge truck and my life immediately started flashing before my eyes. The feel of my chest tightening partly felt like I was going through cardiac arrest as I waited for my pending doom only for the truck to disappear from my line of sight as the car jerked and I felt myself hit my forehead into the window. The unmistakable sound of the car being hit broke through my ear drum and I felt two hands grab me. We both hit something hard and I heard a sickening crack. After, it all went silent and I waited for Lucifer to greet me. "Thea?" Water splashed on my face and I opened my eyes taking in a breath. The unfocused version of the devil greeted me as his eyes glowed. Blinking a few times to clear my vision, I found myself being scrutinized by the devil, who surprisingly resembled my husband. Truly, Herman was the devil.His mouth is moving but his words sound muff

    The cell door swung open a few hours later and she was forcefully dragged out by two guards. She didn't even look up at them and just let them drag her out. She let them cuff her hands behind her back as they dragged her down the disgusting dark corridor. "Where is this one going?" One of them asked as he opened another door to reveal a bright sunlight. It blinded her partially. Making her blink frantically to adjust her eyes to the light. "The Colosseum, she's being executed", the guard who was holding her answered. Her spine straightened at the sound of those words. She was getting executed?! For what? She was suppose to save the world. She has a mission to make sure her son makes it into this world. No! She had to live, for him.As they got closer to a cart full of prisoners with the same fate as hers she sprung into action. Her grandfather was counting on her.

    Water splashed on her face, forcefully drawing her out of her dream. She was in Raphael's bed chamber that much she could tell. Looking around frantically she found his tall frame towering over her. He was in all black. From his cloak that covered him from top to bottom, to his dress shirt and dress pants that hugged his body perfectly it made him look like a day dream. He looked so handsome looking at her all serious like that. She wouldn't mind waking up to..."Tiana!" He called out making her jump. He sounded so angry and she definitely didn't want to get him whirled up on his anger again. What day was it? "Take these", he handed her her pills and dread over took her senses. How did he find those? She gulped. If he found them the he knows about her being pregnant. Is that why he looks so angry?Slowly she took them out of his hands and popped them in her mouth. He handed her a glass of water and she took it without question. He then silently led her into the bathroom and helped he

    She spat in his face as he pinned her arms above her head and was taking off her clothes. Just like he expected she had no undergarments on, it seems her kind loved being naked in one way or the other. From the gods to the haematoi, they all loved to be naked.Raphael just chuckled and wiped her spit on her clothes before he tossed them behind him. Taking out a pare of cuffs from his pockets he bound her wrists together and threw her on his desk."Don't worry it's going to be the best sex we've had so far", he assured her before he locked the door shut. Tiana's whole face was blazing. He had slapped her earlier more than once. She smiled though because she bit him more than once too. He probably has bite marks on both his arms. They were acting like animals but she was doing it for a good cause. He was on her, kissing, sucking and nibbling on every curve of her body.She moaned despite her protest not to. He then lifted her legs and put them on his shoulder before he plunged into her,

Actually that's where the what you can call hospital is located", Rose clarified." Oh, then the one in the castle is only for ---"".....the king and his family members", rose finished for her. Tiana gave a shake of her head in understanding." There", rose pointed up ahead. Tiana looked up in the direction she was pointing at and saw I huge structure between the trees. It resembled office buildings in the human world but the word " Σπίτι φροντίδας (care home )" where spelled out in big bold letters in front of the building just at the top.As they got closer Tiana wondered how she was going to escape and who would help her. The surrounding area was heavily guarded and she wondered why he kept such a lock of his land. What was it he was hiding? Or maybe who was it?Of course her grandfather was here but he tol

    Tiana continued to stare at herself in the mirror. She was even afraid to touch her hair. With out much thought she scrambled to look through her room for a head rap. She wasn't going to let anyone see this ludicrous transformation. Not having any luck, she settled on tying it into a low ponytail and throwing a thick dress over her head. Opening up her bedroom door she walked the few steps down the hall to Zara's room but she found the door wide open and devoid of any life.Where are they? She wondered as she stepped into the room. Lucky for her she found a shawl on the side of Zara's bed. After returning her dress to her room, she draped the shawl over her head to hide her unusual hair. Descending the stairs she walked into the kitchen and found a note on the counter. Baby came sooner than expected. Be back by noon tomorrow. P.S if you'd love to be there, use my beeper and contact my youngest sister at sun rise.She left her beeper next to the paper and wonder how t

    The sound of the waves beating on the stones was soothing as Tiana slowly closed her eyes and caressed her belly. Her white chiton was dancing in the strong wind. She heard someone approach her from behind and she turned her head and saw her grandfather making his way towards her. He was wearing a white and gold himation, with an over fold that looked so thick it could suffocate him. His hair was white as snow as it danced in the wind. He looked older than his wife did and Tiana wondered why. The child in her belly shifted excitedly making Tiana feel more exhausted because of its movements."Grandfather", she bowed her head as he got closer.Placing a hand on her shoulder he said," bless you my child". " What brings you here?" She asks him. Truthfully even in her dream she felt his presence foreign." I want to see you", he answered, like he wasn't with her right now. His voice sounded pained and tired. But his appearance showed nothing of a sort."But grand--" "No I don't want you

    Tiana woke up sick the next day. She had been hunched over the toilet more than once that day and it made Zara and Brandon worried. Brandon tried to convince her to talk to Raphael but one death glare from Zara he dropped it. After three hours of puking, Tiana was taken to the infirmary for a check up. She watched the doctor withdrawal blood from her arm that wasn't connected to the IV tube. She felt weak and just keeping her eyes open was a struggle. What ever she was sick of was gotta be very bad but when the doctor came back with the news she was genuinely horrified. After a few hours he sent her home stunned and feeling much better. She made him swear he wouldn't tell anyone about what the results said and he did. When she was still there she got to see her parents and grandmother and it made her a little bit happy. She smiled at the thought of them waking up again and it was everything she wanted right there. The doctor had informed her of no progress and it dulled down her hop

    " This is between Raphael and I ", Cattah spoke calmly," And you", she turned her glare on Raphael who was still holding Tiana captive. " Where you going to keep this", she gestured up and down at Tiana with her open palm facing upwards," from me?"Raphael seriously looked confused. He was darting his attention from one corner to the other corner in the room. Suddenly the maroon curtains draped over the balcony glass doors and the cream coloured walls seemed so interesting. But when Cattah took a step forward he quickly shifted Tiana from his front to shielding her tiny frame from his back. She was free to talk now but she couldn't see anything from behind him."Now Cattah this isn't her fault. My beast chose her what was I supposed to do?" He asked her."Deny her!" Cattah shouted. Making Zara scoff. Cattah turned her death glare on Zara and threatened," if you don't shut up right now your son will have no mother". That made Zara growl so animalistic that it stunned Tiana.
