A hand touched my arm and I flinched away from him in shock and fear. My eyes met his fire-flashing eyes. His hand wrapped around my upper arm. He pulled me behind him. His arm was curling around me securely. "What are they?" The hair along the back of my neck stood to attention in the warning. "Fucking piece of shits don't die." I heard someone shouting in exasperation. "They taste like venom." Another shout filled the tense air. I heard loud shouts of fear, many comments over these things, and complaints that they weren't dying. I couldn't peel my eyes away from the black hole. Fear gripped my bones when I saw a shadow coming out of it. It terrified me more when my eyes lifted up at the sky. The sun was covered with the darkest clouds. Am I in my nightmare? After staring at it I realized they were shadows covering the whole sky. Fear raced through me. "Darkice, they're not clouds." I pointed my finger at the sky.
I stood up out of shock. I darted my eyes around and there was no one in the room. It was only me. How could he suggest it to me when he wasn't around me or in my room? "How did you do that?" I asked him, still running my eyes around. 'Your eyes.' "Explain, please? How are my eyes helping you?" 'I can see what you're seeing." I heard him. My eyes widened like saucers. "And what else have you seen? " I was in the shower and right now wrapped in a towel. My cheeks heated. 'I won't until you turn eighteen.' "I didn't mean that. I..." I squeezed my eyes. I wouldn't mind if he would see me. 'You don't wanna get late.' He reminded me. "Yes," I plucked the black dress and rushed to the bathroom again. I paced out of the room with a smile. It's a beautiful black midi dress, my hair is down, a little makeup like usual, natural pink lips. I didn't hear him after that in my head. I took the stairs. "Good morn
I got on my feet but I couldn't move. I stared at his back in shock. I felt a soft touch on my arm. "Are you okay, Em?" Sisily asked. "I brought you this. Do you want something else?" Aidan asked us. "You don't need to do this, Aidan." Dejectedly, I slammed down. "She doesn't look ok." Aidan got in his seat. "What happened? You can share." Sisily muttered. "You know what's happening?" I leaned closer. "Everyone knows. The Alpha king and his betas are going to the Dark World. No one was injured. But we don't know what the future has in store for us." Aidan muttered, resting his arms on the table and he leaned forward. "No one knows that, Aidan." She said. "Ember," I turned, hearing my name. My smile broadened seeing him. "Dad," I jumped on my feet and embraced him. "Congratulations," He kissed my head and patted my back. "Thanks. I thought you'd come the next day, I didn't even see Mother." I complained.
The relief I felt walking out of the headmistress's office turned into icy dread. My feet were slamming against the ground as I ran away without knowing where I would go. I kept running until my feet stopped near a familiar place. I have been here twice and it wasn't pleasant. I heard the leaves moving on my left side. I turned and saw him looking at me with his poker face. "You're crying." he tilted his head, and I couldn't ignore the tightening of his jaw. I hesitated but I forwarded and curled my arms around his middle. "Do you know?" I asked. His arm came around me. He lifted me off the ground. "You met my brother today?" He asked. I pulled my head back. "Did he tell you in your head? That's not fair. I don't have powers like you all. That doesn't mean you're going to treat me like this as if I don't exist." I sobbed, lowering my chin. "You're thinking too much." His fingers brushed on my cheeks and he tucked the locks o
He caught my hand as the warmth of his hand wrapped around me. We walked silently at some distance. He turned to another door. I thought it would be one of his friend's houses. We halted in the living room. Everything was dark in the house. 'It's his house.' I heard him in my head. My gaze snapped to him. I stared at him in complete and utter shock. His gaze was fixed ahead of him. "What do you mean?" I uttered in shock. 'His' He made me walk with him and we took the stairs. The stupid but very important machine of my body began to pound every time something shocking and surprising happened. My gaze darted around us. Everything was mostly black. I understood what he meant by him. "Dastien?" I asked. He nodded, still not peeling his gaze away from his path. He was so focused on whatever was running in his head that no one would say that he was romantic a few minutes ago. The main door wasn't locked, nothing was locked here. H
My cheeks turned crimson recalling everything that happened. I could only nod my head. "So, do you believe in mates or do you have the same ritual?" "Same. I hope she won't get jealous of my beautiful friends." He chuckled. I smiled. "That's not going to happen. If she'll love you, she'll trust you too." "This weekend," He hurried his steps forward and opened the door for me. "You don't need to do this," I told him. "I'm a gentleman." He slightly bowed his head. "I'll punch you next time if you dare to bow. I'm your friend, not a queen." "Alright. Don't get upset." "I'm not. What were you saying" "Next week, there is a secret masquerade ball in our academy. Should I get passes for us?" He asked. "Do you think Sisily would come?" After seeing her in gloom today I wasn't certain she wanted to socialize." "Why wouldn't she?" He frowned looking at me as I was going to hit him. "Then ask it yourself."
I was just staring at the screen, not actually watching the movie. I could hear them. murmuring next to me. No one was paying attention to the screen but their talk revolved around only one topic. Them. They haven't contacted any of us yet. It's eating me from the inside. I wonder how I could care about him so much. We just met. He's my mate. That changes my entire world. The mattresses were laid on the polished wooden floor. There was a giant hall. A big screen was mounted on the wall, almost fifteen feet away from us. Their mumbles felt like a lullaby to me. My eyes closed against my desire. I was waiting for him. I was expecting any minute hearing him in my head. I jerked as I was feeling sleepy. The will was so strong I couldn't hold back as I drifted off. Gloom and sadness could be seen from afar on our faces. But everyone smiled, pretending to be normal but we all knew deep inside that we were keeping on a s
I jumped out of the car when Justice pulled into the parking lot. "Thanks," I pushed a smile on my face. One thing that was amazing about staying with Wolves is that I didn't need to shout. "Anytime, Ember." I was so lost in missing him that I forgot all about the book. The more I know the better for me. The hall was empty. "Emersyn!" Her voice was describing happiness. I don't know what I did to earn so many good people in my life. I am grateful. " How was your day, dear?" Rhi asked "It was fine, Rhi." I smiled at her. "Where are all?" "Mr. Dawson is out for a pack meeting and Luna is with him." She said smilingly. "Is everything alright? There's no attack, right?" I asked worriedly. "Yes, nothing to worry about. Would you like to eat something, dear?" She added immediately. "Yes, please. Can I get hot chocolate, Rhi?" Her feet turned to the kitchen. "You don't need to ask. I'll be in your room." She said.
I've been in many stores but this one is the biggest. It's quite unbelievable that they own it. I was expecting them to be here but they could not come because all the paths were blocked by the king. I'm missing them. I'm hoping to see them soon. Silver waved another dress in front of me. "This dress is too short." I shook my head, denying the dress She held for me. "That's the mission. Isn't it?" Elizabeth asked, chuckling. We came here in her pink car. It was quite unbelievable that technology was part of their lives. "Yes, but not that. There must be a class." I told them. Looking around the store. It didn't seem like I was not on the earth. "This one is perfect." Silver held the silky black long dress, thin strips, a long cut on one side of it. "Yes, perfect." Elizabeth clapped her hands. It would cover most of me. "Yea, perfect." I agreed. But I wasn't certain. 'You don't need to do that, Syn. You're not ready. I can fe
" I don't know that the full moon ceremony is two days away. " I shouted in a hurry, flipping through the pages of a magazine. "Gosh, dudes. Your designers are the best. Look at this one, Mama. It's difficult to pick one." I shoved it toward her. They were looking at me with a broad smile. "You're so adorable." Elizabeth tucked my hair. I flashed a smile. "So, what's the plan? We have a lot of things to do." I was worried about how we would do this. "Help has reached. Don't tense up. You should pick a dress for yourself." Mama suggested. "I like this bridal dress." Silver laid the magazine on the center of the table. It is a mermaid dress with a 3d floral print. She is perfect for this dress. She doesn't look much older than me. "I think you'll look more beautiful than that model." Elizabeth giggled. "We have two days to decide this," Mama said. Her soft smile didn't dimension when she drifted her eyes on her. I
He was furious that Cyril was his father, he kidnapped his mate and also threatened to force her to be his mate. Though Cyril didn't say or do anything like that, it boiled his blood. "So glad to be back home." Darius said. Wherever he slanted his gaze he could see dark land. He was wondering, his father managed to secure the land of Dark Wood when he was determined to destroy everything after his mate's death. He also wanted to burn Eamonn until he got satisfied with his cries of agony. But his mother stopped him. Yes, he was under the effect of black magic. That was why it was prohibited. It was also annoying him in anger that he could hear his father in his head clearly. He still didn't know how to properly rule the dark creatures particularly those that crawled under the dark and sucked all energy. They are called Oscuros. Fathers always trained their sons. He hated to admit it but he was curious to learn this talent.
They walked out of the room and we sat in awkward silence for a few minutes. "Don't ever say that you're not my friend." Elizabeth looked at me with watery eyes. I felt bad. "I'm sorry. I was upset with you that you won't stand with the right" "Don't jump to conclusions, Em. It hurts to hear it from you." Silver got back in her seat. Saddens cast over her beautiful face. "I thought. You would take the wrong side." "Never. I'm sorry he..." Elizabeth trailed off. "Was about to attack me." It was only Alessandro who did not come forward to save me. That means he favored him attacking him. Good to know. Who could save me and who would attack me? "Ales, also..." Silver thinned her lips, looking at the door. I was feeling blocked from him. "Do you know how this block thing works in the head?" I asked them. If he could do this, I could too. I haven't read the half-book yet. "Yes, it's quite simple. Say the word with dete
After a long shower, I peered into the room, cracking the bathroom door open. His room was a hall and the bathroom was bigger than anyone could think. Damn! He lives like the king of the world. He heaved a deep sigh as our eyes locked. A playful smile appeared on his face. 'It's dangerous, you know.' I heard him in my head. I lifted my brows and a blush crawled on my cheeks. I was wrapped in a black towel. It was bigger than my size. It was reaching above my knees. "There's no danger now. If you're forgetting." I stepped out from behind the door. I was eighteen. His eyes heated on my body as they drifted down. 'You're eighteen. No barrier between us now, until you don't want it.' My body heated hearing him clearly in my head. He strode over to me and wrapped his arm around me. His fingers brush the side of my waist. Flames flickered through me as he ran his hand up and rested it on my bare shoulder. He leaned close. He could feel my he
I heard Reina gasping next to me but she didn't stop or say a word. "I... " His deadly deep voice rang around. " Thee king Cyril Royal. I deprive you of your wolf and confiscate your power and right to be a royal. If you try to go near any shadows, it will bring you a painful death." He said the words loud and clear. His face was set into a deadly scowl. Mama sauntered toward and placed her hand on his shoulder. "Bad time is over." She said softly to him. He covered her hand with his and turned to her with a smile that could rob many hearts. They are in love even a blind man could tell this too. "How did you do this?" Dastien's jaw ticked as he stared at him gripping hate in his eyes. "I'm your father. The King. Accept it, I'm above you." Cyril said, his arm was still wrapped around her. "Above me! That's why you did all this. You kidnapped my mate. You were going to force her to be his mate." He fisted his hands, his eyes flashed amb
I straightened up, feeling uneasy. Something wasn't right. I need to find a way out of this place. I pushed myself on my feet. My eyes swiped on the tray. The food has turned dark blue. My eyes narrowed on it. Was it poisonous? How could it be? Eamonn brought it himself. His father didn't walk deep into the room. Could he poison it without even touching it? No! Something is wrong with Eamonn. It could be possible. These kings could do anything. I forwarded my steps toward the door. I couldn't stay here. If Eamonn wouldn't help me I have to find the path myself. Someone clad in dark clothes entered. I gasped in terror and took steps back. My big eyes were locked on the door. My hope shattered and fear raced through me. "What were you going to do?" He asked with a snort. His forehead creased together in anger. "Why are you angry?" I asked with my pounding heart. He was looking a little different. I stared at him. His eyes were pitch blac
She yanked, waking up from her dream. Sweat was covering her forehead, her heart was beating a little louder. Ancestors never showed untruth to her. There was guilt in her green eyes. She wanted to give a chance to everyone to stop this coming war which would only bring death and devastation to the door of millions of people. She fisted her silky dress to stop her hands from shivering. She still remembers the day when she was going to mate. The two powerful prince, one was a light wolf and the second was a dark wolf. They were like their titles. The light prince Chris was a good and kind soul. He always sees good in people, even in bad, too and in evil things too. Cyril was always strong and born to be a leader. He ruled her heart. She listened to her brain Killing her heart and decided to mate with a light wolf. He wasn't strong like his elder brother but she knew deep down that he would keep her happy in all circumstances. Chris was also popular
My thoughts banished my focus. Irked, I put the book down. Eamonn didn't return after saving me. I let myself sink in the sleep hoping to see some miracle. But I'm still here. no one has come to rescue me. I contemplated helping myself. My heart began to beat when I thought of reaching him in my head. "Darkice," I whispered. I waited but there was silence from the other side. I was also bound to the oath with Mama. I can't sit here. "Dastien," I whispered. I was getting impatient. Closing my eyes, I rested my head on the pillow. It felt as if I was actually my parents' princess after being in this room. The walls were cream shaded almost yellow, and red, a giant hearth and a queen size bed with four pools around it. The pillows were also bigger in size, red carpet. A lone tear slid down my cheek. 'Are you okay, Syn?' My eyes flew open, I jerked in a sitting position. "You have to tell me the path so I can go home. I don't like to be here. E
