Lucian’s POV:“You know each other?” Tessa looked from me to the opposing man, a confused look spread on her face.I flashed a confused look at the man holding an arrow straight to my face. It was now I was just seeing his face clearly under the flickering yellow lamp. My lips twitched with shock at the realization of who this man was.“Isaac?” I was dumbfounded.“In the flesh.” He smirked, the claw mark on his cheek contracting slightly. The claw mark that I gave him during our last fight.Isaac used to be part of the Bloodmoon pack, my pack. But after the day I was cursed by… after the curse locked my ability to be able to stay shifted in my wolf form for long. Some people saw it as an opportunity to take over my position as lycan king.One of those people who saw my curse as my biggest weakness and the perfect opportunity to strike was Isaac, a former beta. He had secretly plotted to get me poisoned. Normally the poison wouldn’t really affect me because I would shift to my wolf for

Tessa’s POV:I woke up to the early morning sunlight rays streaming through the open window. I raised my head from the side of the bed where I lay beside Lucian, who was still sleeping, observing his bandaged lower abdomen.Boyd and Felix had fortunately found us last night in the woods. Apparently as a result of failing to keep watch over me, Lucian had punished them, but Olivia had given them the opportunity to reduce their punishment by coming to find us.I stayed with Lucian in his room the whole night while they treated his wound till daybreak. Even when the pack’s doctor advised me to go to rest as I was also involved in the traumatic ordeal, I refused.I rubbed my hand against the woolen bandage, memories of Lucian diving in front of me to block the arrow. He literally put his life on the line for me, but I didn’t understand why. “Why did you do it?” I muttered, my voice barely above a whisper.All this talk of me being his bride. I had seen it as mere absurdity, but the fact

Tessa’s POV:The tune the orchestra played sounded like the soundtrack to a Disney princess movie. It was soft, magical, and almost cloud-like. It didn’t feel like I was walking into the open garden; it felt like I was floating on white, foamy clouds.At both sides of the wide space were the house members, all on their feet, wide smiles plastered on their faces as I walked past. One would think I was the very sun and they were just seeing light for the first time in their lives.At the center of the picturesque garden stood Lucian, elegant in his ceremonial wear: a white cotton shirt that was almost knee-length and a pair of fitted white pants to match. Even from a distance, it was hard not to notice how hot he looked. How perfect his slicked-back long hair shaped his sharp jawline and how his muscles hugged his drip.When I reached where Lucian stood, our eyes locked, and I could see it. A deep yearning on his face, like he had been waiting for me his whole life. My heart couldn’t he

Tessa’s POV:The introduction ceremony yesterday went smoothly after Tori’s dramatic appearance. I don’t think I would enjoy the ceremony half as much as I did. There was dancing, a round-up introduction of the pack members: the beta, omega, and every other position. The food was also amazing.I woke up this morning with the intention of sightseeing the estate. Since I came, I have only seen inside the house and the garden. Amelia and the girls told me there was still so much to see and do and that I wouldn’t get bored for even a day.I have formed a sort of bond between Amelia, Grace, Lily, and Kate. We all were gathered in my room this morning, gisting as they made the bed and cleaned the room. I had quickly used that opportunity to learn more about Tori’s and Lucian’s relationship.“Yeah, they were in a serious relationship back then, and everyone thought they would eventually get married.” Grace said, dusting the window bar with a cloth.“So what happened?” I replied, my curiosity

Tessa’s POV:Dress the way you want to be addressed. It’s a saying that has been proven right over and over again throughout the decades. If I wanted to start getting addressed as an alpha’s wife, I had to start dressing like one.My eyes shifted to the tall plywood wardrobe nested at the other end of the room beside the window. I wasn’t sure I would find anything inside to wear, but still I decided to try either way. Half expectantly, I walked up to the wide container and swung it open. A burst of a variety of different colorful dresses greeted me as they hung from the wardrobe extension. How were there so many dresses already arranged inside the wardrobe? It was either this was someone else’s clothes or the wardrobe was arranged beforehand.My heart stopped pumping blood for a minute. If these were someone else’s clothes, the only person coming to mind was… Tori.My hands grazed over the fabric of the clothes and halted when I reached a red dress. I pulled out the dress from the h

Tessa’s POV;There’s a myth that blind people have heightened senses just because they’re blind, but I can tell you for a fact that isn’t true. Why am I so confident? Well, because I’ve been blind my whole life.Darkness has been my constant companion ever since the first day I was brought into the world, and I have had to train myself to be able to survive basic day-to-day life activities. When your sight is gone, your only choice is to depend on the other senses you have available to you and use those to the fullest of their abilities. I’ve had to memorize different types of smells, tastes, surface textures, and sounds so that I can move around the house or even go to school; the two places my life revolves around. Well, until three years ago, when I was forced to drop out of high school in my sophomore year.“Ouch…” I winced in pain when a sharp knife from the pile of dishes I was washing in the sink cut my hand. I blew breeze onto the wound in a failed attempt to ease the pain an

Tessa’s POV;I have spent my last two birthdays with Vivian, and they all went the exact same way. She would gather the whole family—me excluded—and they would all go out to have fun while she would give me multiple chores to do at home.I knew she was doing this intentionally to make me feel sad, and it always worked, but not today. Today, nothing would make me happier than watching her and the whole family go out to have fun while they left only me behind because today was the day I escaped this life.With everybody gone, this would offer the perfect chance for Benjamin to gain access to the house, and allow us to easily run away together. That was the plan. But for some reason, things weren't playing out as they were supposed to.Vivian and the rest of the family were still home, and it didn't seem like they were planning on going out anytime soon. Time was beginning to run out, and Benjamin was already waiting outside to see them drive away so he could come in.“Fuck!” I heard Noa

Lucian’s POV;“Master, we’re here,” my driver announced. The crunching sound of the gravel beneath the tires filling the air as he maneuvered into the small compound. The air was thick with anticipation, and the late afternoon sun casted a warm golden hue over the scene, illuminating the edges of the weather-beaten walls that surrounded us. As we arrived, the first car in front of us—brimming with my ever-watchful bodyguards—came to a halt, and soon the car behind us, too, with another set of bodyguards, followed suit. Their powerful silhouettes casting long shadows across the driveway. I glanced out the window, taking in the mundane surroundings in front of me, the compound had an air of quiet dignity. The small bungalow, centered in the middle, was something you’d expect from a middle-class family. With ivy climbing the stone walls and a few well-tended plants bravely and defiantly blooming amidst the rugged façade. It seemed almost at odds with the swarm of muscular men that emer

Lucian’s POV:“Have you found her?” My worry was plain as day in my tone.The guard hesitated before he spoke. “No, sir. We've searched the whole area and the surrounding vicinity, but she's nowhere to be found.” “How on earth can an 18-year-old girl manage to escape such a fortress?” I thundered, causing the men standing before me to shudder.I cast my sight to the two men on their knees: Felix and Boyd. “You two,” my hands were pointed straight at them. “I had instructed you to keep watch over her door. What is your excuse?”The taller one spoke, looking to the ground to avoid my eyes. “Sir… we thought you instructed everyone to gather at the garden, and so we left to attend the ceremony.” His words were shaky as he spoke.The other nodded in agreement.These incompetent nincompoops. They left their duty without permission, and they're somehow trying to twist it to be my fault. They deserved to be punished.“Your excuse is futile,” I proclaimed. “As a result of the failure of your

“Oh my God! Oh my God!!” My eyes widened seeing the imposing creature just a few feet away from me. The blood in my body drained out, and I suddenly felt a shivering cold run through me.Move! Run!! My head was telling me to flee, but my feet weren’t listening. It was rooted to the ground with fear. More than fear, there was a lack of strength or motivation to save myself. What was the use of saving a wretched life like mine with no real purpose?A part of me was telling me I wasn’t worth living.It was screaming in my ears that there was nothing of value for me to fight for. Nothing of real meaning for me to hold on to.And for a brief minute I believed it.The bear drew dangerously closer to me, and my life was flashing right in front of me. Like lightning, it rippled through the darkness, flaring for a brief moment and dimming right back. Returning back to the darkness that conceptualized my life.“Tessa, you have to run,” Tyla urged me, her voice laced with alacrity. “I can’t he
Her Choice To Make Chapter eight
Tessa’s POV:I made my way down the hill with zero knowledge of where I was going. The surrounding area was full of trees and grassland, and if I was to maneuver my way through, I had to do it with the sunlight still out, which won’t be for long.Not wasting another second, I put one foot in front of the other and then the next, slowly breaking out into a kind of jog.The hill opened up like the woods, with tall trees being its predominant occupants. I trotted down the surface, dry leaves crunching underneath my feet as I went. Each step distanced me further from Lucian’s estate, causing it to shrink in size the deeper I went into the woods until the building was no longer in view.I had been running for a few hours now, and the sun was starting to set. To make sure that Lucian and his people wouldn’t be able to find me, I took several arbitrary turns and paths. I had hoped that I would come in contact with some people soon, but I haven’t made contact with anyone yet.My stomach grumb
Her Choice To Make Chapter seven
Tessa’s POV:All my life I’ve lived by someone else’s rule, been someone else’s prisoner, and lived a life I didn’t choose. Not anymore.Today I chose to have a choice, and in doing so, I chose me. I waited for a little while to ensure everyone must have gathered at the garden. But, secretly, to gather strength for the unknown path that lay before me. If my plan works and I manage to escape the mansion, I’m not sure what will happen next. I had no idea where I was; I mean, I was literally. I had no idea how to go home or what even awaited me outside the mansion’s gate. The only definite knowledge I had was that Lucian’s mansion was on a mountaintop.“How far can home possibly be? It’s not like we aren’t still in California, after all.” I tried to convince myself. Slowly, I walked towards the door and creaked it open just a little. Enough for me to poke out my head and scan the surrounding area. When I saw the coast was clear, I opened the door fully and headed out, straight to the
