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
Today was the first time I truly felt fear. I thought I had been through it but those were watered down fears. Goosebumps rose on my skin as I ran at the highest speed I could, pummeling through the forest like the fastest car alive but he was right behind me. My heart thundered like it had never done before. My teeth also clatter together as I ran. The adrenaline from the fear made me run so fast everything was a blur. That was until my breath was knocked out of me by this creature. He had appeared in front of me despite my crazy speed. “No no no!”. I cried as I scrambled backwards in the dirt that was now coating the blood that covered the skin of my legs from his attack. I’ve always been one to show bravery in danger. I have never cried even when I was tortured but here I was quivering like a new brok feeble child. The creature in front of me, taking his time to walk to me was far from a creature from its looks. It was a man, the most beautiful man one could ever see in
“I will find her, and there is nothing you can do to stop me!”. Dario yelled with finality in his voice. Her desperate scream kept resounding in his head every second. He could not breathe or even think about anything else. All he thought about was:“Save Marissa”“She’s in danger”“Alpha please!”. James pleaded desperately. Perhaps the most desperately Dario had ever seen him be. He knew that it was not a good time to leave the pack indefinitely. He knew that danger lay just a few feet from their borders. He knew that he was the only reason the pack of roughed had not attacked but he also knew that he had a chance of loosing his mate forever. He knew that she was in great danger and also knew that she indeed called out to him so desperately, praying for him to save her from whatever it was.“James. I have sacrificed everything for this pack. My life, my parents and even my newfound joy. All these and more I did to protect both their lives and feelings neglecting mine. If I don’t
Marissa had dreamed of this day for as long as she could remember. A far fetched dream that was now her reality. The morning sun streamed through the sheer curtains of her childhood bedroom, casting a golden glow that danced across the walls. She could hear the soft rustle of her mother in the kitchen, preparing breakfast and bustling about with a mix of excitement and nerves. Today was the day she would finalize her marriage with Dario, the love of her life. As she sat up in bed, Marissa took a deep breath, letting the reality of the moment wash over her. Today, she would step into a new chapter of her life, one that she had envisioned countless times. Her heart raced as she thought about the ceremony, the vows, and the promises they would make to each other. She could already picture Dario standing at the altar, his warm smile lighting up the room, and she felt a rush of happiness. According to their tradition, only now can she finally move in with him in a house separate fr
In the heart of a dark, enchanted forest, where the trees whispered secrets and the moonlight barely pierced through the thick canopy, a coven of witches gathered. Their leader, the old formidable sorceress, had been watching the unfolding romance between Alpha Dario and Marissa, the beautiful daughter of the Moonlight Tribe. The ongoing and impending wedding was the talk of the supernatural world, and while many were excited, the witches had a different plan in mind. Seraphina, with her long, flowing robes and hair as dark as midnight, stood before her sisters. “We shall send them a gift,” she declared, her voice a melodic blend of authority and mischief. “But not just any gift. It must be something that embodies the essence of our power and serves as a reminder of the balance between love and fear.” The witches murmured in agreement, their eyes glinting with a mix of excitement and trepidation. They began to conjure, their hands weaving intricate patterns in the air as they chant
Alpha Dario stood at the edge of the forest, the crisp morning air wrapping around him like a familiar cloak. The sun filtered through the trees, casting dappled shadows on the ground, and he took a deep breath, letting the scents of pine and earth fill his lungs. Today was a significant day, one that would mark the beginning of a new chapter in his life. He was preparing for his wedding to Marissa, the woman who had captured his heart and soul. As the Alpha of his pack, Dario felt the weight of responsibility on his shoulders. His role was not just to lead but to protect, nurture, and provide for his people. Marissa had been a beacon of light in his life, her laughter echoing in his mind as he thought about the vows he would soon recite. They had faced numerous challenges together, and each trial had only strengthened their bond. Now, as he prepared for their union, he wanted to ensure that his vows reflected the depth of his love and commitment. He had spent several nights and
Claire stood at the mouth of the stream with a gentle smile on her face, her heart swelling with joy. Today was a day of celebration, a day to honor the love between her brother, Alpha Dario, and his mate, Marissa. The air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming jasmine, and the sound of laughter echoed through the woods as friends and family gathered to witness the union of two souls destined to be together. Claire had always looked up to Dario, her older brother, who had taken on the mantle of leadership in their pack with grace and strength. He was not only a fierce protector but also a caring brother, always ensuring that Claire felt loved and cherished. As she watched him interact with Marissa, Claire could see the deep bond they shared, a connection that seemed to radiate warmth and happiness. Marissa was a perfect match for Dario, complementing his strength with her kindness, compassion and even more strength. As the sun began to dip lower in the sky, and the woods qui
James sat quietly on the edge of his bed, staring at the wall as the soft light of the afternoon sun streamed through the window. It was a beautiful day, the kind that made everything seem vibrant and alive, but his mind was preoccupied with thoughts of the upcoming main wedding. Alpha Dario and Marissa were finally tying the knot, and the excitement in the air was palpable. Yet, amidst the joy, James felt a swell of emotions that he couldn’t quite put into words. As he reflected on the journey that had brought them to this moment, memories flooded back moments of laughter, struggles, and the unwavering bond that had formed between them. Dario had always been more than just a friend; he was a brother, a mentor, and the kind of leader who inspired those around him. Marissa, with her infectious laughter and kind heart, had somehow become a sister to him. Regardless of the fact that he was still scared of her. Their love story was one for the ages, a testament to what it meant to tru
Dario stood in front of the mirror, adjusting his tie with a mix of excitement and nervousness. The sunlight streamed through the window, casting a warm glow over the room, but it was the sight of Marissa that truly illuminated his heart. She was in the other room, finalizing her own preparations, and he could hear her soft laughter mingling with the bustling sounds of their wedding day. He took a moment to admire the suit she had picked out for him. It was tailored perfectly, accentuating his broad shoulders and lean physique. The deep navy blue fabric shimmered subtly, hinting at a sophisticated elegance that was both timeless and modern. Marissa had insisted on the color, believing it would complement her dress beautifully, and Dario couldn’t help but agree. It was a bold choice, one that spoke to their shared taste for the extraordinary. As he ran his fingers over the smooth fabric, memories flooded his mind. He recalled the day Marissa had dragged him to the suit shop, her ey
Marissa stood in front of the full-length mirror, her heart racing with excitement and a hint of anxiety. Today was the day she would finally choose the dress for her wedding to Dario, the alpha of their pack. The sun streamed through the boutique's windows, casting a warm glow on the rows of beautiful gowns that surrounded her. Each dress seemed to whisper promises of love and happiness, but the pressure of making the perfect choice weighed heavily on her shoulders.As she stepped into the boutique, her best friend, Lila, was already there, flipping through a magazine while waiting for Marissa. Lila looked up and smiled brightly, her enthusiasm infectious. "I can't believe it's finally happening! You’re going to look stunning today, Marissa!"Marissa returned the smile, though her nerves still fluttered in her stomach. "I hope so. I just want to find something that feels right, you know? Something that captures how I feel about Dario."Lila nodded in understanding. "Of course! Let’s
As the sun began to rise over the quaint village of Eldoria, the air was filled with excitement and anticipation. Marissa, the beloved daughter of the village elder, was soon to wed the formidable Alpha Dario, a man known not only for his strength but also for his unwavering loyalty to his people. The wedding was fast approaching, and with it came a flurry of gifts from far and wide, each more extravagant than the last.Marissa had always dreamed of this day, imagining the grandeur of her wedding ceremony and the joy it would bring to her family and friends. However, she never expected the sheer volume of gifts that would arrive at her doorstep in the weeks leading up to the event. Every morning, as the first light broke through her window, she would find an array of beautifully wrapped packages waiting for her, each one a token of love and appreciation from those who wished to celebrate her union with Dario.The villagers, eager to contribute to the festivities, began to gather in he
The air was crisp, and the faint rustle of leaves whispered secrets of the night. He had always been a figure of strength and authority, the alpha who led his pack with unwavering resolve. Since finding the vampire child in the billionaire’s cellar, so many things had changed. She had been with the pack for a few months now, and he couldn’t shake the feeling that she was meant to be a part of their life. The thought had he could not just leave her by herself with no one in particular to take care of her, bothered him. He knew she was being taken care of, but she was still little and needed a family. The first time he had encountered her, Dario had felt a pang of sorrow. Curled up in a dark corner of the cellar, the child was trembling, her small frame barely visible in the shadows. He remembered the way her large, innocent eyes looked up at him, filled with fear and hope. It was a look that stirred something deep within him, her little hi, brought about protective instinct he
