Somewhere inside Marissa, she knew that trusting Amelia was not the right thing to do but she also knew that Amelia wanted her gone and would definitely help her escape. “Even if she does something to harm me along the way, I’ll overcome it. I can just fight it off”. She said to the creature that was slowly becoming her closest companion. She couldn’t tell Claire that she was leaving because she didn’t want to see her cry, as her tears may move to her to changing her mind. She would miss Claire so bad and couldn’t even deny that. Not just Claire, but the room, the food, the companionship she didn’t have even if it wasn’t a great one from everyone. Lastly, she would miss Dario. As crazy as that sounded, she knew she would miss him. Today was the day she had to meet Amelia in the garden at noon and she was ready. Marissa had packed lightly and with the help of the creature, she knew what and what to pack for the journey ahead. She knew she was taking a big risk not having any mon
“She probably just went out for a walk. Please calm down”. James said to pacify Dario who was panting and walking in circles, trying to be patient and not jump to conclusions but his heart could not help it. “It’s been hours James. Don’t tell me that”. Dario said to James in a dangerously low tone that had James shutting his mouth with his hands in the air in surrender. Deep inside of him he knew that something was up because he kept thinking about that hug. She let him hug her for longer than she should and as great as it was, it felt like a goodbye. Running like an arrow through the wind, Dario got to the garden to check on the vines. Those vines would be the make or break moment because he knew that if they were not present at the locations he placed them, that meant Marissa had kept her promise to leave him. The thought already making his heart beat erratically. His first location were the greenery behind the window of her room. He got there and saw the vines he placed there
Marissa’s P.O.VI’ve been running and running for days now. The monsters are everywhere. Exhaustion is creeping in like a parasite, eating me up minute by minute. I knew it would be hard but I never anticipated it’ll be this hard, but I was still thankful. Thankful that I did not leave before I got my powers because I would’ve been dead an hour after I left the pack house gardens. On that fateful day I left the pack, I went in the opposite direction than what Amelia proposed, knowing that she could never have my best interest at heart but instead, I fell into her trap. She intentionally told me to go the other way knowing I wouldn’t. The thought made me clench my teeth as I ran. It’s on sight whenever I see her again.I could not even tell what it was that was chasing me but it was fast, and I was too. I hadn’t even noticed that I had superspeed amongst all other powers which was very strange as it was not one of the powers I should have but it came in handy and I was so gratef
Dario’s P.O.VI can’t sleep, I can’t eat, I can’t think, I can’t even remember the last time I washed up. I miss her so much that my heart feels like it’s failing. I’m sure my people would be so disappointed and my enemies may be saying;“How the mighty have fallen”. All my life, I had been around mates and saw how deep their affection was, but for some reason I thought I was more sensible, that I would be different. I even called them fools and horn dogs due to how dependent and vulnerable they were in the open with their mates, but here I am. I fully understand them now. The saying; “you don’t know what you have until it’s gone” was the truest thing. So many what if’s were running through my mind as I wallowed in self pity.“What if I just showed her how much I loved her?”“What if I had just acted as her mate and not just a king, she may have stayed”“What if I had not locked her up without even listening to what she had to say?”“What if I had just left the throne once I fou
Marissa’s P.O.VIt’s been 7 days now in this hell of a place. It was a maze that had no way out. I have fought so many creatures, most of which I believed only existed in books and fairytales. A giant gorilla, a goblin, a werewolf, and even a fairy. The wind, the sky, the trees, and pain had become the new normal for me. It was so crazy that I could not remember the last time I rested for an hour. The exhaustion was creeping up on me fast but was not as fast as the creatures that all seemed to find me like I was a magnet that attracted them to me. I was hurt, tired, angry, annoyed and scared all at the same time. A part of me hoped to be saved by Dario but I also knew deep down that it would take massive effort, and was almost impossible to find me in this maze. I had levitated as high as I could about a day ago to see through the forest, on the best route to take in order to escape this hell but all I saw were trees and trees for miles and miles away. The sight brought tears
Barging into the main gate to the pack house with long angry strides, Dario called for Amelia. “Amelia, report to my office now!”. He said out loud, his voice thundering through the several kilometers that the pack house stood on. Sand falling from some places in the house as the ground shook with the force in his voice. This time he did not bother to reduce its impact for the children. By the time he got to his office, a shivering Amelia was already there. She sped there as fast as she could after hearing just how angry he was. The force of his summoning had everyone scared and trembling, including James. He knew that Dario was ready to bring the place to the ground with that anger he felt and so he too ran to Dario’s office. “How dare you?!”. He asks, his voice booming like a loud speaker at the highest volume. His alpha pheromones were all out without restraint and it had Amelia cowering into a full bow with her head to the ground in submission, but that just angered Dario.
Fighting off that witch was a battle she never imagined she would win. The woman was more than sinister white get worse features being the extraordinary power she wielded. Marissa did not even have the chance to try to leave the cave when the witch viscously attacked her. It was the most scary dream she had ever had.She had heard of nightmares but this took the crown in her opinion. The witch grabbed her neck with lightning speed and before Naridsa could register anything, she was already about four feet into the air. Remembering that she could fight back and could land safely, she tried to ease herself back to the ground but the witch was faster. She summoned a bug Boulder that appeared out of nowhere and struck marissa. Digging her almost six feet deep. Panting and out of it, Marissa takes a fighting stance, ready to fight back but this time, her hands felt like much. She couldn’t use it. Not just that but she was tripping on air. It was so bizzare but she continued fighti
It was impossible for Dario to go back to default setting, leading the pack as the strong Aloha he always was. Now, he was present but absent at the same time. He was where his people needed him to be, but was not himself no matter how hard he tried. “The 3 major zones have 50 guards each searching for Luna. Also-“. The leader of the council paused, seeing that Dario was not listening to anything they were talking about. It hurt the elder because he was also one of the reasons Marissa left. He made his leader this way and regretted it so much. “Let us postpone this meeting till next time”. The Elder spoke slowly with a sigh still looking at the absent minded Alpha Dario had come to be. Everyone nodded and walked out without a single complaint of question. It was obvious to everyone that it was the loss of his Nate that had affected him so.Even a fool could see that. Still staring out the window, a heavy sigh fell out of his lips replacing the tears that threatened to fall. Co
Just as he was about to send the billionaire to his ancestors, a hand that definitely belonged to Vraise, stopped him halfway. He growled out in anger as he was so close. Previously, he could not help but wonder why exactly the vampire was protecting the billionaire, because Vraise was not one to be involved in matters. Any matters at all, even that of his clan not to talk of the personal matters of a human but in this moment, he did not care. If he did not kill the billionaire today, he would not be able to live with himself. “A common human tormenting my pack because he has some money that I am above”“Move or I will not consider the fact that we have been somewhat friends over the years”. Dario warned as he still felt some sort of friendship between them and chose to give him one last chance. However, what he got in response was an attack from vraise. A sharp clawing and pushing that had him falling several feet away. “That will be the last time you touch me”. He growled as
“Go! Go! Go!”. Dario yelled at the people as they lived into the safe house they had built in the little time that they had been planning. The little underground room was not even finished but could at least hold all of them if they squeezed in, which was not a choice they had. As soon as he saw that the people had almost gone in, he left the rest to Claire who had been directing them. It was in times like this that he was so grateful that he had his sister and the little support group he had. His mind all the while had been on his mate whom was currently unstable but still using whatever strength she had left to hold the bombs and the billionaire off. It angered him to no extent and this time, he let his anger roam freely. He had enough.In his opinion, his mate had been bullied enough and right in front of him again, drove him insane. The idiot had the audacity to come attack his pack and try to steal his mate and thinks he would be able to get away with it. “Today, I’ll let
The little whispers from the office almost sounded like the whispers of the wind and Claire could not help but be a little spooked as the room was filled with a mix of werewolves, vampires, and witches, each bringing their unique strengths to the table. Dario leaned over the large oak desk, tracing the lines of a map with his finger. “We need to fortify our borders and increase patrols, so that they can keep watch while we fight. The billionaire is not to be underestimated”. He said, his voice steady but urgent. “If they’re planning an attack, we can’t let them catch us off guard.” The King of bears added. Just as they began to outline their strategy, a loud explosion shook the building, rattling the windows and sending papers flying into the air. The sound was deafening, and for a moment, everyone froze, eyes wide with shock. Dario's heart raced as he instinctively rea he’d through his mind to see if Marissa was fine. “What the hell was that?” one of the vampires, Elias, exclaime
“Oh God Marissa!”. Claire exclaimed as she saw that there was indeed blood on the window. A lot of it. James on the other hand looked like he was about to pass out and began questioning why he actually accepted to look after her. The fear he had for her had not subsided and now, seeing this made it double. “You killed a bird?” Dario asks, already knowing that it was indeed a bird from the smell it emitted, and she nodded yes. I’m this moment she looked so guilty that he felt so bad for her. She hated those birds that chirped around her window at first but had come to actually look forward to them chirping her awake each morning. “I- I tried not to”. She stammers as she tried the explain her reason for killing it, looking confused and disoriented. “But I craved the blood, I just wanted to feel it’s hot blood run through my fingers.” She said and in that moment, her eyes began to turn red again with a sinister smile playing on her lips. He immediately started to struggle to bre
“It’s high time we decided on a date for the attack. I also have a feeling that you all are hiding something from me and postponing the attack due to that. Now, it’s either you tell me what it is, or I find out myself and ut will not be funny if I do so myself”. He warned as he turned to step out of the room. “Alpha Dario, please wait”. The king of the bears started which stopped Dario in his tracks. “Lycan alpha. We apologize but since we sent scouts to locate his whereabouts since he was not at his mansion, they have not come back.” The leader of the witch clan stated with a winced expression on her face. She expected him to flip out and trash things or even attack them in anger but he did none of that. He already knew to not have expectations when working with them because they all had a way to piss him off beyond bounds. “This is exactly why I work solo.” He said the them as he walked out. He was annoyed, no doubt. Very angry, if he was being honest because they were the re
Waking up from her slumber, it was first confusion as she had somehow lost memories of the last events before her unconsciousness, the next thing was that it felt like a dream to move her limbs again after being cramped up in such a tiny cell. It made her realize that she really had been spoilt because she lived in a tiny cell for several years abd now she finds it terribly uncomfortable to be in one for a few days. She chuckled to herself and immediately, the doors open, revealing Dario who had sensed her awakening and immediately rushed over. It was as if all her memories came in through the door with him and she immediately panicked remembering just how fatigued she was while trying to block the bombs, and didn’t stop even when it felt like her very essence was leaving her. Deep down, she already knew that something was wrong but was still trying to deny it. Shaking her head like someone was telling a her an unbelievable lie. “What is it princess?”. Dario asks, noticing and s
“It’s definitely a full blown war now”. Dario stated as he entered into the meeting hall for a meeting that he just summoned. He was going to start a war whether or not his people agree to it, and was just being courteous to inform them. As soon as those words left his mouth, James stood up and seconded his thoughts because he too was angry and saw that there was literally no reason why there should not be a war between them. The man had kidnapped their Luna, and launched a full attack on their alpha and the whole pack. The whole pack would have been destroyed if Marissa did not strengthen the barrier. If it was up to James, the plan of the billionaire was to exterminate the whole pack and they would be cowards at this point if they don’t fight back. As they conversed with each other, they could hear some commotion outside and Trent was sent to go check what exactly it was that was disrupting their meeting. “Alpha, it is the bears”. Trent came in, sounding alarmed and with good
He vividly remembered the day she created the barrier.Marissa stood at the edge of the clearing, her heart pounding as she focused her energy. The air crackled with tension, a palpable reminder of the chaos that had unfolded. The war had destroyed the barrier so she made a stronger one. Marissa was indeed no ordinary elfWith a deep breath, she closed her eyes, summoning the ancient magic that coursed through her veins. The ground beneath her feet began to tremble as she channeled her energy, visualizing a barrier of shimmering light rising around her pack. It was a technique passed down through generations, a protective shield that could withstand even the most ferocious attacks. As she concentrated, the air grew thick with magic, and a radiant dome began to form, encasing her friends in a cocoon of safety.As soon as they entered the pack house, she got up and listened to no protect from anyone, including her mate and started to streng
The trees and the forest looked very beautiful tonight anf despite the pain in his body, he felt so content with his now conscious mate on his back. Dexter purred but immediately felt alarmed. Dario who had not seen a reason for alarm just thought that it was Dexter being paranoid that someone would take his mate from him after only just getting her back. He chuckled a little as he ran because he felt the same was. The familiar beautiful hum that danced on his skin whenever his mate touched him was present and he could not help the satisfied groan that hole fr his throat. Well, that was before the heard a loud crash that had him halting for a second to deduce what it was anc where it was coming from. The first thing that hit him was the smell, it smelled like gunpowder. “No”. The muttered out as he increased his speed. The bomb sounded from behind them but it was just too far from them. He could immediately feel Marissa start to panic but what he also knew was that he could no
