Happy readingđ
MARILYN âGet ready. I need to take you somewhere,â Balin said, once he put down his phone. âYou didnât even need to tell me that,â I mumbled. âWhat do you mean? Donât you want to come along?â he asked. âWho said Iâm not coming? From now henceforth, Iâm definitely tagging along wherever you go,â I declared with my facial expression showing how serious I was. Balin smiled. âAre you afraid that I will be taken away from you? Donât worry, this breathtaking Alpha is yours foreverâŠâ I scoffed and cut him off. âDonât get ahead of yourself. Iâm only doing this out of sympathy. Your pack members will weep if something happens to you. So Iâm doing it for them, not for you.â I rolled my eyes. Balinâs eyes glowed in amusement and burst into a fit of laughter, laughing heartily. âI could bet you are worried as fuck after what Kabal said about you being far away from me,â he mumbled amidst his laughter. âKeep deceiving yourself. Iâm just doing charity for your pack,â I grumbled in pretens
MARILYN I let Balin lead me down the stairs, soon we got to the main hall. All the maids at the hall immediately bowed to us. I looked around in search of the butler, but she was nowhere to be seen. âI canât seem to find the butler,â I brought Balinâs attention to myself. âForget about her, she is not important.â Saying this, he further led me out of the mansion. For the first time, Jarek was nowhere in sight. âWhy does it seem like everyone is missing,â I mumbled to myself. âWhere is your beta,â I asked. âBusy with his life,â Balin answered like it was the most obvious thing. I didnât say another word and let him lead me to the car. It was obvious that he wasnât willing to tell me about the whereabouts of the duo. âOnce we get back, I'd like to go see Aylin,â I informed him. He nodded and opened the car door for me, bowing dramatically. âWhat are you doing? You want your pack members to bury me alive,â I playfully cautioned him and got into the car. He laughed heartily a
DAMIEN Dressed in a black corporate business suit, my head raised with pride, I strode into my company, which is nearly at the boundary between my pack and that of that fool, Balin. I had purposely built my company next to his, which is suspiciously almost at the boundary between our packs, to monitor his whereabouts personally, as the spies I send after him never return with useful information. It was no hidden fact that Balin and I are arch enemies. Everyone in the empire knows about it. But none knew the real cause of our bloody rift, which has led to many bloody fights between my pack and his. The intervention of the higher ups, who were like shadows overseeing the empire, brought an end to our fight. But then, I knew it was temporary because I am never going to forgive Balin Creek for the harm he caused me. In truth, Balin and I used to be inseparable during our younger days. My dad usually takes me to their pack during every empireâs meeting, which was always held in this pack,
MARILYN I watched in shock as Balinâs clothes ripped apart and he shifted to a gigantic black wolf that stood over 5ft from the ground. I covered my mouth in shock, as this is the first time Iâm seeing a wolf shift. Still in shock, my eyes followed every moment of his. He charged toward Damien who was already charging at him. Both threw themselves on the ground, gnashing and clawing each other. Only the sound of their skin tearing could be heard as they fought fiercely. The entire place suddenly became so calm, as if deserted. Confused and helpless is an understatement of how I felt. I didnât know how to go about separating two hot headed Alphas. I watched in shock as Balin bit into Damienâs limb, which earned a growl from Damien, he returned the favour. In less than a few minutes, they were both bleeding and badly injured but still kept fighting. âBalin. Stop!â I yelled, their maddening growls drowned my voice. âYouâd better excuse yourself. No one interferes when two Alphas are f
MALCOLM At first, I was beyond angry after hearing Marilyn dare me to leash her. But then I decided to make her know that she is mine to claim. I wanted to make her scream my name to attest that she is mine. I latched my mouth onto her entrance, moans of ecstasy erupted from her. My tongue suckled, flipped, and twirled on her entrance. My thumb found her clit and I began to rub it slowly. "What did you say about leashing you?" I growled. Marilyn, now a moaning mess, couldn't speak. I flicked her clit and she screamed in pleasure. "Answer!" "IâŠIâŠahâŠ" My torments couldn't let her utter a full sentence. I moved my tongue from her core and gazed into her eyes. Her pupils are dilated and unfocused, her dark hair, scattered on the bed. "Fuck it," I snarled, as my member twitched and sprang up like a soldier ready for war. My other hand kept teasing and playing with her nipples, my tongue latched on her core suckling and slurping her juice. âYou are wet as fuck,â I mumbled. My f
AYLIN The perverted beta and I were seated outside his room. I was clad in his pyjamas, while he was in just his boxers. I would have left a while ago, but I didnât want anyone to get the wrong idea. If I should leave, and one of the ambitious she-wolves that wants him, sees me, it will be trouble for me. Not that I canât deal with them. I needed to keep my identity hidden. Werewolves hate the idea of having another creature who supersedes them. âWhat are you even thinking about with so much concentration?â The annoying beta asked. âNone of your business.â I eyed him unpleasantly. After headbutting him, he had gotten angry and tried to push me out of his room, but then I pulled him along. And now, we are both stuck outside, since the door shut and he didnât come out with the keys. âIt seems like you are enjoying being next to me, you perverted beta from a perverted pack.â I rolled my eyes. âYour wish,â He scoffed. âWhy donât you mind link someone to get the keys to your room?â I
BALIN âSomeone else is also involved in this tragedy, and that person is here,â Alicia announced. I balled my fist, fuming. It seems like I have been too lenient with everyone. My face contoured in annoyance and irritation. I shot Smith a disgusted look. âWho is it?â I roared, releasing my Alpha aura. I grabbed Smithâs shirt and pulled him up, his legs dangled in the air and he began to cough due to the force I applied. âWho the heck is that bastard?â I snarled. His half closed eyes pulled open, he gave me a pleading look and passed out. âWeak fool,â I growled. âGet a bucket of hot water and empty it on him.ââBold of him to think I will let him be after putting the entire empire through worry.â I turned in the direction of the pack members that were gathered. Most of them were shaking, others had fear in their eyes, while a few, I know are omegas held their throats, choking. âEscort the weak ones out of this place. Every Omega should leave,â I ordered the guards. Knowing fu
MARILYN Balin gazed into my eyes and I suddenly felt my eyelashes become tired and heavy, Iâm overtaken by a sudden urge to fall asleep. Before I knew what was going on, my eyes shut and I drifted off to sleep. But then, it didnât last long. I woke up just when Jarek got to Balinâs room. I shut my eyes and kept still, knowing that he might probably lock me in if he realizes that I was awake. Iâm aware of the fact that some werewolves had the ability to put one into a deep sleep just by looking into their eyes, I never expected Balin to be amongst them. I mean, Iâm aware of the fact that he is extremely powerful and all that, but this ability is one that only the oldest wolf can wield. Balin seemed more powerful than what I'd imagined. I stayed still as Jarek placed me on the bed. âI wonder what Balin is still doing with you. You are completely useless to the pack and with the way things are turning out, you will end up putting the entire pack in danger, you powerless sea creature,â J
MARILYNHe was still staring at me with that wolfish grin in his eyes.Keiran pinched the bridge of his nose and turned his attention back to the man.âShe's been boughtâ I heard him whisper to the man.There was a scowl on the man's face at that.âIs her master here?â He asked, his voice loud as though he didn't care that I was there.He was rude but for some reason, this wasn't how I envisioned the exiled Alpha to be. Maybe I was mistaken and he just had the same name as the exiled Alpha however Keiran had referred to him as Alpha, no one did that anymore if someone was exiled. They were stripped of their position so it wouldn't make sense if Keiran was doing it âYou know I'm right here,â I said lazily.The man let out a smile. âMy apologies, sweetheart. I was just going through the necessary detailsâI sighed and crossed my arms. âI'm not on the list, sir,â I said with an eye raised.A look of surprise flashed in his eyes as though Keiran had not just told him that.âI see. Howeve
MARILYNI couldn't believe it, I was staring at the exiled Alpha and he⊠he was also staring at me.Shit.He must have noticed someone's unwavering gaze on him because he slowly turned his head and his eyes landed on me and he frowned, looked me over.I should have looked away but I couldn't and we were just having a staring competition until Keiran got to him bowing before the man removed his gaze from mine and focused on keiran.Dmitri was here to buy a mermaid. weird.Keiran was talking exaggeratedly and I was getting tired of just standing In the same spot so I sighed. Why was I waiting for keiran? I knew the way to the poolIgnoring anyone who looked at me, I strode towards the pool eager to get things over with and leave this placeThe pool looked fairly the same. Nothing much hand changed yet not even the stares that I was given.âMarilyn?!â My name was whispered in shock by several of the mermaids who were clustered around talking before I entered I took a deep breath. Their g
MARILYNKeiran spared me a few glances as we walked past some other employees who stopped to gape at me.âSeems everyone is happy to see youâ he said, his hand crossed behind him as he glanced at another employee, a silent message passed between them âThey cannot be trusted,â Ophelia said in my head.âI knowâ I whispered to her as though he could hear my thoughts.She muttered something and suddenly she felt distant.âWhat's happening?â I asked in alarm as she slowly disappeared from my mind.âI'm out. I think I'm done with my job and you're no fun. I'll let Aylin know that you're good. Stay safe, Marilyn. If you need me, you know where to find meâ she said, laughter in her tone until she was gone. I couldn't feel her presence anymore.Pity. I thought I was going to get used to her but alas she has a life of her own and it didn't include being in my head all the time.âThank youâ I whispered to no one.Jolting back to reality, I noticed we were now near the pool where the other mermai
BALINDamien was speaking to Kabal in the corner with a frown on his face while his beta attended to me.âTea or coffee?â The beta asked in a monotone.I slowly dragged my gaze over the man's slender build. âaren't you tired?â I asked in a frustrated tone.His eyes furrowed slightly in confusion. âWhat is that supposed to mean, Alpha Chris?ââIt means that you've asked me that question 9 times in a minuteâ I said throwing my hands up exasperatedly.His head tilted and his lips parted slightly. âOhâI rolled my eyes, not bothering to hide the frustration in my voice. âYeah, I countedâ I sneered.He straightened up. âOh well you didn't answer either wayâ he also said.âWasn't that supposed to be your cue to know what that meant?â I snapped at him.He took a step back and sighed. âVery wellâI looked back at Damien who was now talking to an elder in his pack but Kabal was no where to be found. Probably gone as usual. Damien looked really pissed off at something as he spoke to the man and
MARILYNThe mermaid foundation was just a stones breath away and I sighed getting down from the bike.âI hate youâ I whispered to Ophelia, hoping she could hear the anger in my voice.She tsked.âOh well at least you learnt somethingâ she said to me.âYeah, not to trust youâ I said sarcastically.There was a brief silence. âBut at least you now know some thingsââThat doesn't change the fact that he cheatedâ I said stubbornly, leaning on the bike âDid he?â She asked suddenly.I stuck my hands in my pockets and huffed. âYou know, for someone who was hell bent on letting him die, you sure as hell want to defend himâ I noted.I felt it. Anger.She was angry.âHell noâ she snapped. âI still want him to dieâ, she said nonchalantly.âWeird because your actions don't actually show thatâ I reminded her.âOh well, I⊠I can't explain myself at this point. Anyways, why are we here?â She asked suddenly changing the topic I looked at the gates that I called home for so long. It was filled with m
BALIN I walked away as briskly as I could before I would do something I'd regret. She was hiding for some reason and even though I wanted to pull her out of her shell, I knew that would only make her more mad at me.I don't know how she managed to be there but not quite there. I couldn't see her but her essence was everywhere, I could feel her, scent her.As I reached the end of the path, my head turned around to look back at the bike. It was gone but the trace of tires on the ground made me smile. She had pushed it away and left.The revv of the engines from afar reached my ears and I wanted to smile. I was agitated, I didn't see her but with so many interactions with her, I was fine already. She soothed my heart. I wanted her back.As I reached the party of my guards and Kabal, I nodded to themâLet's go. Damien must be waiting for usâ I said to them.Kabal looked me over and nodded. âIndeedâ with that, he dissolved into black dust and disappeared.A guard opened the car door for m
MARILYNHe didn't move his gaze neither did he show like he could see me.I was being paranoid, he couldn't see me. Right?âOphelia?â I called out to be sure.Ophelia in my head was muttering a few things before she answered me. âno. He can't. He's just spaced out and looking here by chanceâHe turned back to his mother. I could see the uncanny resemblance between them. She was the older female vision of him and he looked just like her. The only difference being that he looked more ruthless while she looked very calm.âI remember when I was mad at your dad because he was going to become the Alpha because of Dmitriâ she said with a smile My ears were perked up to listen to this conversation. It felt wrong. Like I was listening in on something that wasn't my place to hearâHe said that it was better that he take over before you grow up to take his placeâŠeven if he's gone, I know he's proud of what you've become. He's proud.. I can feel him. He knew you'd make a great leaderâ She said w
MARILYNStumbling back, my heart began pounding.The woman who looked just as beautiful and ethereal as Balin was arranging some flowers in a flowerpot. Daisies.She hadn't seen me. She couldn't see me. I felt sick to my stomach.I tried to move but it seemed like my legs were rooted to the spot. Ophelia.âOphelia, let go this instant!â I yelled to her in my head.She was awfully silent but she still didn't let me move âI swear that I'll block you out from my consciousnessâ I threatened.That got her attention.âCalm down, little one. You can't even do that if you wanted to. If you succeeded then it means I was humoring you. I don't want you to leave now for some reasonsâ her tone was soft as she led me towards where the woman was humming.I took a look at the daisies and my hand reached out to touch them.âDon't! You'll blow our cover!â, Ophelia hissed and I quickly drew back my hand.âSorryâ I said sheepishly.Ophelia muttered a few obscenities that I couldn't hear and she muttered
MARILYNThe wind whipped past me in the early hours of the morning as I ventured through the path leading back to the Ocean.For some weird reason, I knew the way there for some weird reason, it was like my brain had mapped it out already and my body was just leading me there.A sudden voice in my head sounded. âYou want closure, isn't that?âI stiffened and looked around me, the early morning sun doing nothing to help my vision as I tried to look at the sealed off houses on the side of the road.If I had waited till the morning, I could have gone with a car from Damien but I didn't want to bother him anymore than I already had so I had just snuck out.âWho's there?â I didn't know if to shout it out or just say it in my mind. I knew that voice from somewhere but I Didn't know where.âA friend. Surely, you haven't forgotten me so soonâ the voice said, in a surprised tone.There was tense silence before the voice spoke. âit's OpheliaâOphelia⊠my brain wracked around for that name and I
