He is a beast of the darkness, a lover of divine violence and righteous wrath. She is a notorious thief, an embodiment of independence and free will. When their paths cross a battle of freedom ensues for at his feet He will make her kneel and in his bed He will have her submit until she is the strongest of the strong, the wildest of the wild, the wolf leading the wolves. But at what cost?
View MoreDawn found her standing by the bedside just as the door locks unclicked and swung open. Alessia’s fatigue-laden eyes swept over the five servants that slipped in on quiet feet balancing trays, buckets of items, and two pieces of clothing. Pervading the room was the rancid smell of her urine, saline, and faint like an afterimage lingering in the air. Her cheeks took on a slight hue as the servants paused and shared furtive glances. A moment of silent communication bypassed them and in it she grew even more restless, wishing she had scrubbed the floor with some sort of perfumed soap. Alessia sat rigidly on the bed’s edge and waited as they began to clean up the room. Afterward, they drew a hot bath and beckoned her into it. They soaped and rubbed her until her skin squeaked and glis
“Did you talk to her?”A figure fell in tandem with hers just as an arm was slung carelessly over her shoulder, inadvertently drawing her into the person’s side. Glancing beside her, Alessia acknowledged the fellow thief whose strides threatened to overtake hers, her dull eyes flickering away.She smelt the pungent sweat on his skin, the remnants of some sort of cologne he must have swiped, and the hot stickiness of his breath from eating a stolen honeyed bun. Another peripheral glance at his mouth and bruised but working jaw confirmed her suspicions.“No,” she uttered before kicking a pebble aside on the path. On any other day, Alessia would have twisted Damen’s arm for daring to touch her so brazenly, but this time, his touch was almost welcomed. Almost… comforting.They walked down a winding path silently. Damen tilted his head to the sky and exhaled a deep breath, his voice lacking the usual luster. “Wh
“Move, Omega!” Alessia hardly had time to weather the sudden shouldering of a body and she stumbled back, blinking her nebulous thoughts away. Distractedly, she rubbed at the sore spot on her arm, her other hand rising to press tentative fingers to her lips; they still tingled from the kiss as if it had occurred only seconds before but in fact, three days had passed. Three days of contemplation. Three days of confusion. Though the girl was not eidetic, the memory of it was vivid beneath her eyelids. Circe reaching for her. Circe leaning into her. Their lips landing was the clumsiness of youth as if just learning the art of intimacy. She tasted like freshly brewed wine and the sweet grape Alessia had fed her moments before. She must have pulled away at some point but Alessia did not realise, her eyes too wide and open throughout as she gazed blankly at her friend, a bemused expression on her face. And the
Alessia woke to the soft rubbing of a thumb over her dark eyebrows. The ministrations continued until her brows knotted at the center in mild vexation, her dream of nothing fading slowly to leave an impression of warmth. She stirred sleepily, her limbs heavy with pleasure that lingered from the night before. The cozy, rich bedding felt like heaven against her skin. The hand that caressed her face slipped down the delicate curve of her jaw to poke at the dimple on her left cheek. Alessia caught it with a quick sweep of her hand. Fingers clasped around the wrist, her green eye slipped open to hazily peer at Circe. The princess lay on her side, face propped upon an open palm. The silken sheets had slipped down her chest to expose soft yet firm breasts with rosy tips. She smiled as their eyes met. “What is it?” Alessia mumbled before releasing her friend’s hand and turning to press her face into the soft pillows. Keeping company with one of the Alpha’s daughters
A violent draught pebbled her skin and the thief gritted her teeth while urging her feet through the city and into the woods. Alessia quietly chose a familiar path that wound between the tall, silhouetted trees like a slinking serpent, the growing darkness sinking around her. She exhaled and squinted up at the fence that suddenly stood erect before her, a small gaping hole made in one corner. After crawling through the space, she staggered the rest of the way in hopes that her spilled blood would be washed away by the rain drumming down from the heavens. The Alpha's palace came into view a moment later, bright as a falling comet amidst the sweltering blackness. The path she took was smooth and paved unlike the dust-kicked path in the market, each brick being polished until it was gleaming under the night sky - gleaming much like the walls and the doors and the glossed windows that approached.
“Thief! Stop her!” The crowd barely had the opportunity to part when the girl torpedoed through their bustling bodies, swerving and dodging with all the precision she could muster. Her dirt-stained shawl unwound from her neck and billowed before her eyes like the wings of a trapped bird, briefly obscuring her vision, but her hand was quick to dart out and clutch it. Huffing shortly and raggedly, diamonds of perspiration glimmered on her dark brows as she ran and they trailed over her brown eyelids before dripping into either eye, making her blink. But the stinging sensation was numbed by the burst of adrenaline that surged through her veins like white fire. Alessia cast a brave glance over her shoulder at the approaching guards from behind, led by three brown wolves with teeth bloodied and bared, ears pricked forward in a vengeful need for retribution. Fucking hell. Could they run any faster? She elbowed and shoved her way through
