When I passed through the blinding light, the first thing that came into my sight was a huge tree at the periphery of a field that stretched miles away. The tree had no leaves, and its bark had blackened and rotten over the years. On the trunk just close to the ground, there was an opening just big enough for a person to fit in. I headed towards it hoping to find Charlotte inside it. I was about to enter when I heard some clapping behind me followed by some hysterical laughter from a male who seemed to be moving close to me."Welcome, Alpha Mason Helm." I could hear some mockery in his voice. I turned around wanting to see this person. My eyes landed on a tall and buff guy who was a bit taller than me. He had a dark complexion and looked quite pleased by my visit. He was wearing a cloak, which covered the rest of his body. "Do you recognize me?" He asked whilst stopping in front of me. I looked into my memory, checking to see if I had seen him somewhere or not. He was familiar but
"You remember?" Kevin asked me the moment I opened my eyes.I didn't answer him instead my eyes filled with so much hatred, and anger which I couldn't describe. For I wanted to kill this guy a million times. First, he took my father away from me and now he was planning to take Charlotte as well. I just couldn't allow him to do that."Who gave you the right to take her from me?" My eyes changed from green to red in an instant. I still had my reasoning but the urge to end him was uncontrollable. My hands trembled with fury, my sharp and pointy nails emerging from the normal ones.Kevin didn't even bother with my question and he didn't even react when I launched an attack on him. I aimed at his neck wanting to squeeze him to death. But my hand went through his body and my nails came in contact with the buck he was leaning on. My eyes filled with so much confusion before Kevin raised his hand and grabbed my hand and twisted it. He pushed me to him and pinned me on the tree."Surprised? If
CHARLOTTE'S POVI was very happy when I saw him in front of me. Even though I noticed him unable to move just like me a few hours ago, it touched me to see him here.I hurried to him and launched my body over to him not at all caring that the guy named Kevin was still there. I puffed a breath when I managed to touch him skin to skin. I had feared that I couldn't touch him just like what happened to me the moment when I just entered this place.The two conversed with each other and I didn't even bother to listen to what they were saying. All my attention was on the comfort that I was feeling after being away from him all this while. It felt like we were separated from each other for thousands of years.Suddenly, I felt Mason move and untied my hands before he started muttering some foreign language. He raised his hand high above as if he was yearning to touch the fluffy clouds in the sky that were accumulating by each whisper that came out of his mouth. The once cloudless blue sky was
We spent a few days relaxing at the house. I was told to stay inside the room every day. Mason spent his time with me and didn't allow me to do anything by myself. The pregnancy didn't help for it was growing and making me feel unwell.I dreaded each morning when I have to run to the toilet and do a round of vomiting in the sink while Mason helped me by holding my hair back so it wouldn't fall into the sink. After that, a burning headache would follow and would force me to take a few pills. On top of that, the guys in my life didn't even allow me to do anything. If I wanted food, they would take turns bringing it in. Mason even went further to feed me and held the glass of water so that I would drink. He would then guide me to lie on the bed while rubbing the small bump on my stomach. The others would then join us, all happy, and ready to spoil me to the core.I admit that this was making me a bit antsy. I needed some fresh air or something. One day when I requested that, Mason denied
"I found it!" Mason shouted with a strand of blank hair trapped in between his fingers. I scooted towards him and examined it. By the looks of it, it belonged to the kidnapper. Both my parents had brunette hair. Of which my father's was darker but not close to black. It was obvious that it didn't belong to them.We were lucky enough that this room was locked all this while. The reason being the repair of the broken glasses and the investigation that was being done by the police. I doubt if they even put in any effort. I was starting to feel relieved to have found a clue that would lead us to the kidnapper."What are we going to do with it?" I asked feeling confused. We couldn't probably take the hair sample to do some DNA test. After all, we didn't have too much time and also didn't even know who to suspect or if the hair belonged to him at all. The other thing is that we didn't know if the person planted it or not. "Don't worry we will think of something." He assured me and packed
The couple looked quite happy, their images looked vibrant, and their faces that were depicted on the globe brimmed with beautiful smiles. It didn't take long for it to be replaced with horror, the moment when they heard some unusual sounds from the window. My father was the first to turn as he concentrated on the unusual movements of the curtains and the dimming of the lights in their room.My mother's gaze followed as well as they focused on a shadow that appeared behind the curtains. Their faces started sweating profusely with fear. My father got off the bed and cautiously moved towards the shadow his outstretched hand ready to move the curtains away.My breath hitched the moment I saw that familiar face. The happiness that had once encompassed his whole being while being at Granald High School was replaced with a cold, poker, villain face. The smile long vanished to who knows where. He had a dark aura surrounding him, giving people around him uncomfortable chills.It was that boy
We travelled for a day and a half. We were all using isolated routes so that no human could spot us. The paths we were on were very creepy and were hard to transverse. It was mostly forested with dense vegetation and a lonesome atmosphere. The only sound we could hear was the swishing sounds of the leaves our paws were stepping on. It continued on until we made it to a tarred road that led to the forbidden city. That's what Nelson called it. He told me that he had never set foot in it. He also said that humans were forbidden to come close to it either. Ace went on to explain that danger lurked in every corner of that horrid city.Vampires of all ages scavenged in the night looking for prey to sink their itchy fangs on, while drinking a delectable taste of blood, bringing ecstasy and ease to their lifeless veins. I once heard my colleagues saying that vampires had no hearts or the red kind of blood in their bodies. That's why they have cravings and tend to kill without mercy when they
We sneaked stealthily into the huge mansion. We masked our scents as usual and roamed around the endless corridors, searching to see if we could find a room in which he had locked my parents. It was difficult to find, for the mansion had various rooms each either with a mechanism or a few guards standing at the door.The six of us divided ourselves into three groups so that we could be able to cover more ground. Mason and I, took on the left wing of the mansion, and luckily we were fortunate enough that no one spotted us while peeping in different rooms."We are truly going to be doomed once they find us in here," I whispered under my breath not wanting for anyone to hear me. Although us werewolves are vicious by nature, the vampires are also tricky and they are pretty fast compared to us who have to rely on our wolf forms. They have more advantages compared to us. For example, they can go a few days without eating anything. Us werewolves have to each so much food so that we could go
After the honeymoon of our daughter and Adam, the vampire lord who chose to leave everything behind and chase after his love, ended, the two returned home to see everyone. A party was thrown in favor of their union. Everyone was present there, Adam even invited some of his vampire friends. The two parties bonded well. No one could see any slightest enmity between the vampires and the werewolves. We were one happy family. No one treated anyone differently. We ate together and also drank together. Rebecca later came with her husband, Nelson and Ace didn't go back after the wedding they stayed behind and kept us company. They were very close as usual. Ryder, Damien, Jasper, and Blake had a good time playing together. They spent almost every night drinking and partying at one corner of the pack.Saya and Clive also came to the wedding however they left after it was done and returned for the party. Same with Trevor and his chosen mate. It was merry all around and people couldn't sit still
"Ok. I let it go. Only this time. But if you make her cry even for a little bit. I will definitely come after you." I breathed out a sigh of relief and thanked him with a happy smile on my face. My brothers were happy for me as well. We had a family meal and then they gave us some time to talk to each other. We were allowed to go to my room, Adam looked around just like me when I visited his house. He complimented my room and took me in his arms and hugged me tightly as if we had separated for a long time.I was reminded of that dream and also held him tight just the same. "I love you so much." He confessed making my heart melt. I thought back to all the times I wished for someone to say this to me. Now that the time has come it seems so surreal. I just can't believe it. It's like a dream come true. "I love you too," I spoke of the words that I have just realized after meeting this man. He made me believe. He made me say it to him without holding back. I truly meant this. I don't know
After breaking the kiss, our eyes were locked on each other, the scarlet colour and oceanic greenish coulor reflecting in each other. I watched as he licked his lips, his pink tongue with a tich of red colour. "Wow. I can't wait to have the main with." He spoke while bringing his other hand to put my hair back in order. He arranged some behind my ear and gave me a perk on the lips and another one on my cheek. "I made the right choice waiting for you sweetheart. I can't imagine losing you to those vile creatures. I am the luckiest person in the whole world." I felt my cheeks hit up. This wasn't enough but it would be too fast to get into it right away. I leaned into his arms and rested my head on his shoulder. I took in his refreshing fragrance as if I was standing in the middle of a field full of blooming flowers. It was too exquisite and good to take in. Adam also rested his head on the nook of my neck, his nose was sniffing there, hot air brushing there, making the sensitive skin ti
After locking myself in the room, I lay on the bed looking far up at the ceiling above thinking of ways that could convince him to have a proper talk with me. I wasn't going to give up on him. I listened in from the wall just beside my head but I couldn't hear anything from the other side. I guess he was really sleeping. I ended up sleeping as well, hoping to talk to him early in the morning before he gets a chance to run away from me. As planned I woke up at about four O'clock in the morning and cleaned up before waiting for him in front of his room. I only waited for less than an hour before he opened the door after freshening up. His hair was still dripping wet and he had tied it on one side letting it flow on the shoulder as some fell on the front of his chest. He still wore his mask, probably in an attempt to continue hiding his face from me. He stilled the moment he saw me standing at his door, with a grin on my face. I hurried to put my hand on the door frame, stopping him from
Two days passed after that miserable encounter. And I haven't felt like I am being myself at all. My life has turned normal. It is now that I realize that normal is a boring word. My mind keeps on going back to those words he spoke upon our separation. I feel somewhat guilty for pushing him like that. Even though I didn't see his expression, I could actually guess how he looked. If we meet again, I will definitely say sorry to him. That is if I even recognize him. He had worn a mask all the while I spent at his home. He didn't even let out a clue that led to his name or anything. I don't even know what he really is. These days I have been listless because of this matter. My family noticed but there is nothing they could do about it. I never tell them what is wrong with me. I am going to school today, hopefully, by seeing Will I will be able to cheer up again. I was driven to school by Steve. He dropped me off in front of the school gate. I had texted Will telling him that I will be a
"Hmm... you can't believe me? Well, I knew it would be like this. That is the reason I made sure to prepare beforehand." I watched him summon one of his people who came with an envelope which she handed over to the strange man. The girl didn't even look at me. So I didn't really get to see her appearance only that she was wearing black and also that her skin was too pale for my liking. And as usual, I couldn't decipher her own species. I moved my gaze away from her and settled them on the envelope in his hand. I wanted to see what was sealed inside it. He ripped the seal off and then took a few pictures out and handed them over to me without even looking at them. It was as if he had looked at them countless times. I accepted them and started looking at them one by one, my breath hitching when I realized what these pictures were. I wonder who had taken them. During those days I never sensed anyone following me. No, maybe I didn't even look to sense anything. These were the pictures of
A part of me was excited, my blood ran around my veins some rushing to my head. I could vividly picture his face in my imagination. I wished to turn around and see his face. Another part of me was very scared. I knew that this man was very dangerous. And also that he was here for my life. If not why then would he waste his time watching my every move each and every day? "No, I guess you are not that scared. Then are you... Perhaps happy to see me?" He asked, his figure appearing right in front of me. He was too close, I could actually see his pale white skin that he poorly hid behind the mask. I didn't get to glimpse into much detail because he had already taken a step back. My brain had not registered the last sentence he had spoken. I then recalled it and blushed lightly before hiding it not wanting this stranger to see. I didn't bother saying a single word to him. My mouth remained zipped. I didn't forget to keep on trying to move. I was sure that he had done something to me."Why
"Mom, I... I am only seeing its blueness. There is no cloud up there, or even a bird flying up there. Why do you think it's different from the other days?" I couldn't help but ask her. She faced away from it then turned to look at me. She had a smile on as she patiently explained her point of view."Hmm, it's different because this is another day. It's not the same as it was yesterday. It does not matter if there were clouds up there or not. The sky of today will never be like yesterday. The same applies to us, Alex. I know that you are still anxious about what happened four days ago in the forest but that was then darling. Leave it behind and brace yourself and face this day with a smile. I know that there might be some looming danger out there but you don't have to be afraid of it. Do you hear? Don't beat yourself too much. You will definitely get the answer in the end." After she was done talking she stood up and took a few steps before stopping in front of a flowerpot on the sidewa
While going back I bumped into Steve who was about to see my parents. He looked haggard I don't know what was wrong with him but I knew that the news he was going to deliver to my parents wasn't going to be good. He didn't even bother to say sorry or to reply to my greetings for I was already knocking on their door. He didn't even give himself time to stop and take a breath, his knuckles were busy colliding with the door making loud noises probably alerting mom and dad who were discussing about my situation. I didn't stay too long to see him continue harassing the door for I returned to my room and took a glass of water before downing it down my stomach.At first, I was nervous to tell them about this matter but now I feel somewhat relieved that I am no longer the only one who knows about this. However, the anxiety hasn't worn off for there is a difference between many people knowing this and actually getting out of the mess. It would have been better if the one behind this is caught.
