Roxxane's Point of View"Love me or die."Everyone, not just me but even the people behind him gasped. Faces were mixtures of horrified and aghast expressions. I don't know what the problem with his offer for THEM might be but for ME, I should be the one who's showing such mortified appearance.I looked at the absurd man who offered such an insane reward, as he said, to me. "What do you mean by that? I am-" I stopped upon realizing what the matter was. Everyone in here, even me apparently, has a destined mate. So, what happens when you force someone to love you?""Oh, what happened little pretty rabbit? A wolf got your mouth?"I glared at him in response."Oh, what a cute glare, my heart was a little threatened, my dear."I don't know but upon hearing him endear me the way Alexander did, it felt ugly and disgusting. 'I didn't know such endearment could sound so pathetic.'"B-but Alpha, what would Luna Hellen think of-""DO NOT" The woman at the back who talked shivered upon being halt
Roxxane's Point of View“Yena, stop it!” My senses seemed to be awakened by the loud shout.I was back to my normal sense and when I looked at the women, they were already leaving.Being back alone, I realized I still had a lot to do. I started sweeping the tiny fragments of the bricks with my improvised stick broom. I made it with the branches of trees that are scattered everywhere. Honestly, I think these people are very different from Alexander’s. There, I could see the people, I mean werewolves, working for their food and everything. Here, they are all either strolling, sitting, hitting on each other, or hunting. I already saw almost more than five werewolves shifting and then going straight to the forest. They are very wild here, I guess that is why they are being defeated and depleted. They do not know how to manage their pack correctly and properly. Especially that man whom they consider Alpha, he is very childish. Very far from Alexander’s very formal and mature mind. I slapp
Roxanne’s Point of ViewHow I wished I could just kill myself. How I wish I had the courage to just get any sharp objects and stab in my heart. Just like how others can. Just like how they can let themselves fall of the cliff, the river, and drown in the sea. But I couldn’t, I can’t.‘Why?!’I try to lift my eyes to stop them from slipping their tears because it’s already very dark and as I’ve realized, it’s the time when many of these werewolves go out.‘That’s nice, at least I will not be alone here.’ I encouraged myself while still carrying bricks. My hands are already red from the roughness of what I am doing, my feet are so accustomed to this that they have become numb as soon they feel that they are going to walk the endless path of misery, they become numb. Void of feeling yet lacks a sense of liveliness. The empty yet painful feeling of it is more agonizing than any direct pain could inflict. It makes me want to just slap my body on the ground to completely make the torture e
Roxxane’s Point of View“But that’s quite impossible Roxxane, you are magical in my sixth sense, powerful even. My foresight was never wrong unless there was a dark and deep twirling of destiny itself. That would mean chaos and misfortune to this whole world. “As speechless as I am, I merely furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.“Roxxane, you are already a mystery for being here even though you are not a shifter, yet your presence in my dreams is also beyond my apprehension. Truly, what are you hiding?”In a desperate hope to get myself out of her doubt, I ransacked all of my pockets and made a sign signifying ‘see?’ to her when I found nothing but merely the mien of emptiness.She smiled ever so lightly. “That is not what I meant Roxxane, your inner self. What do you have in secret?”“Honestly, as much as I wish to have something great to tell you, I do not. But before I came here, I presume I came from the future. “I thought she would laugh at me, ark her eyebrows, or immediately cas
Roxxane's Point of ViewInstead of hunger, my whole body felt nauseous, which caused me to stop eating the meat. Thank goodness, there were some vegetables, so that's where I focused. I tried so hard to remove the lingering nauseating taste of the meat from my tongue."Ohh, you might've not been accustomed to that. " Hellen commented as she took the plate of meat to me and was supposed to eat it but began coughing really hard. I tried asking her what she needed but she couldn’t respond. I stood up, and began caressing her back because her cough seemed to be uncontrollable and I could see from her expressio-“Oh my god blood! Hellen, what’s happening, you’re coughing blood. Who do I need to call?!”Hemoptysis has a lot of causes, I just hope her disease isn’t an uncurable one. But from her state, being unable to form words and talk properly because of her incessant coughing, it seems to be worse. I began ransacking the room for some water and finally succeeded in looking for it when I
Roxxane's Point of View"Kill her!""Execute the cursed murderer!""Yeah! Cut her throat off!"Thunderous growls and yells of my pathetic life to be wiped became my alarm and werewolves, both in human and Lycan form, is the panorama that welcomed my blurry eyes. My eyes throbbed with the dull ache of relentless sorrow, my lids raw and swollen as if they themselves created sand for the ocean I created last night. A gritty sensation scraped against my every blink, as if the fragments of my shattered dreams clung stubbornly to my lashes. Causing my vision a haze of fatigue. Even in stillness, the sting lingered painfully refusing to be extinguished, the reminder of all that I had been shed in darkness.I shed all of my agony last night because I thought all of my miseries already met last night to punish and torment me before I leave this world but no, right now, I feel like I am already becoming a numb statue from the penetrating frigid air eating me. I don't need to see my own body to
Roxanne's Point of ViewAfter mindlessly eating what I feel is enough to energize my body for being asleep for two months, as Alexander claimed it, though I still find it either an exaggeration or a fact that I cannot simply accept because of utter shock and bewilderment. I was forced to eat more than that though, because of how Alexander always threatens to feed me. When he offered to feed me with a smirk, my hands were faster to grab some fruits than the chaeta's speed. I know he might just mean well in offering that, but his mischievous smirk tells me there is something more on it. Although it is not a very bad idea, I don't think my drained and deadened body would be able to take the explosion of what he's going to do. I felt a little bad though, as seeing from his instantly downed smile, that he was disappointed.'Sorry Alexander, not now. I need to rationalize my mind first before filling it with another irrational thoughts and memories.'"I saved you.""Yes?"Before responding,
Roxxane's Point of View"He did what?""Um... who? The Alpha I am talking about?"My once rising confidence and comfortableness went back to zero as Alexander almost growls to every word that my mouth produces. Making me want to just go back to sleep until he goes away. His mood seemed to have shifted again for some reason. I hope it's not because of me even though I am obviously the one whom he has been talking."Yes, tell me exactly what he did and said to you." His guttural words were even more wreathed with growls.'Is he supposed to shift or something?'"He, he told me to be his lover after I woke up not knowing where I was. And...."I was interrupted as his eyes were looking at me so serious, dilating and constricting swiftly that I got both terrified and worried at the same time. "Alexander, your eyes what's happen-""Mine.""Yes?""Roxxane, you are mine. ""Uh...I am yours? What do you mean?""You are mine alone. Anyone who dares to defy and covet you will have their heads hun
Roxxane’s Point of View“Who is she again?”Arshana looked at me pitifully. After we ate, obviously, we finished faster because of some random woman who just barged in and he didn’t say anything. And even left so eagerly with the woman while leaving me at the table.“Arshana, do you know who that woman is?”“Unfortunately no, my lady. But you can ask beta Hephe, he might know.”The mentioned name of someone who might know who the woman is got my energy rising. I eagerly went to Hephe. Actually,I don’t know what happened to me. But the sight of another woman being near Alexander wakes something painful within my chest. It’s like I couldn’t breathe at all. That’s why when we were eating, I couldn’t talk much because my chest was like puffed.“Hephe, hello again,” I added a smile to my melodic greetings and, as usual, he responded with a kneel. But with a hint of a smile.“What can I do for you, my lady?”It would've been great but when almost everyone training with him also kneeled and
Roxxane’s Point of View“So, my lady, you just woke up like that?”Ravishing my body from my toes to my chest for the hundredth time again, I nodded. ‘Goodness gracious, I must be the most stupid woman they’ve ever seen to step on their land.’For the first time though, I get to see and hear Arshana’s laugh. I just laughed with her as I tried to remove my the glitter in my skin.Yes, I’ve got myself shining. As foolish as I am, I managed to acquire all of the glitters from the perfume that I poured into the water of my bathtub. Oh, but what do you all know?I am also a walking pink peach!My body is literally, as in literally, painted in peach. I assumed this was also caused by the pink bottle that I poured while I was relaxing in the tub.Now, I couldn’t take myself to even walk out of my bed.‘And I don’t think I will be able to even after I recover if I recover at all.’“My lady, please come out and eat breakfast with Great Alpha.”“Arshana, why are we back with me being called my
Roxxane’s Point of View“They will start a rebellion?” His terrifying laugh continued. “Let them. Let us see how far they can go.”We were about to leave as he grabbed my hand but I stopped when Hephe meaningfully looked at me. More like pleading already. I tried my best to communicate with him through eyes and after a swift couple of seconds, I decided I already understood what he was saying.“Umm A-Ale- honey?” Everyone, almost everyone around us looked at me when I said that word to Alexander, him not being an exception. But for the sake of Hephe and his men still kneeling, and the people already kneeling around us upon realizing who they were walking with, I continued my sentence. My peripheral vision could already see Hephe smirking.“Why don’t you just go? Maybe they just want to see if they could really trust you. Show them that they should?”Alexander looked at me a little weirdly but pondered for a moment.“You want me to meet with them?”“Uh….yes?”“Why?”“Well, because, wha
Roxxane’s Point of View“Marry me”Just two short words, yet they kept echoing inside my head until I finally opened my mouth.“I-, th-that’s seems to be so soon, isn’t it? “His light and optimistic impression went rigid and dark. Making my toes tremble and instinctively walk back from him.“A-I did not mea-““You do not want me?”I immediately held my hands up in my chest as I shook them left and right to show him I didn’t to offend him. “That’s not what I meant A-Alexander, it’s just, I don’t think it is needed for now. I-aren’t you still preparing for your annunciation in this city?”“Yes, but I want you by my side by that time, not just as a beautiful woman but as my mate, my wife, and everyone’s queen.”His words brought something inexplicable in my heart but my mind still managed to dominate. “Alexander, I truly appreciate it but your people are still unknown to me and them to me. A-I….” I wasn’t able to finish my words when a certain memory entered my mind.‘Who in this world
Roxxane's Point of View"So, what is this temple called?""Karnak Temple Complex, the temple of Amun-ra."I mentally stumbled. 'Amun-ra? As in the sun God of Egypt? The one of the most powerful creators of Egypt people?' I swiftly looked at the carved writings on the elegant and tall walls around us. 'Hieroglyphics. ''So this is indeed the ancient Egypt. I can't believe Alexander indeed managed to conquer the great land of Egypt in just days or weeks. So that explains why this city looked so beautifully well-managed and powerful.Realizing the most important thing in this current state of mine, I took my time to look around and just devour the magnificent scenery silently. In my past life, which is the future, I have never seen these kinds of architecture anymore, and I am more willing to say that if given a choice to choose, I will definitely choose this place, this time, and these types of people, over and over again.“I-“ I stopped my muttering when I saw Alexander was busy conver
Roxxane’s Point of View“Mmmm! This red-bread is indeed very yummy! I can’t believe they don’t make this kind of food in the future anymore.”“Why? Are there no bread in your previous life, as you’ve said?”I finished chewing the yummy strawberry-flavored and vanilla-scented bread of mine before responding to him. “There are, but not as delicious and beautiful as these bread of yours now. Do you not want any? You should try it, I promise you will forget your name.”He chuckled at that and then took one from the bag of bread that I was holding. This is his fault I probably looked like a beggar who just stepped up from life. And now, I am making up for my starvation years by eating like a gourmand. But who cares anyway, it's true actually. That I just got out from a hunger strike suffering, those who abducted me were really heartless and rogue, so they wouldn’t even care about feeding me.“It is indeed delicious, but not as delicious as you-“Gkk!”“Are you okay?”I immediately took the
Roxxane’s Point of View“Does that mean you have already done something that will make us expect a child from you, my lady?”I froze. My skin reddening with embarrassment and my eyes wandered off, trying to look for a possible answer to such a pride-degrading question.“A- I-I yes?”It came off more like an unserious question than an answer. I mentally slapped myself. ‘Why on Earth do I have to be so stupid?! And why in this world am I the one facing this kind of unpleasant humiliating situation? Where is Alexander?’Hephe merely nodded in response. Hiding his expression from me as he straightly went to bow after. I didn’t have to wait if he was going to give off some rude or rational comments so I already ran away. But in a walking manner, so as to not make him realize how much embarrassed I am.Arriving quickly at my room, I mean, the room where I woke up, I found Arshana already sleeping. Her head pillowed at my bedside as her body sat on the floor. ‘Aww, she looked so tired yet st
“My lady, can I have a moment with you?”The abrupt request from a familiar man, I think his name was Hephe, halted my happy little meal with Arshana.“Yes?”He looked briefly at Arshana which made me read his silent order.“Arshana, you can eat here first, I will join you later.”“Oh,” she also passed her gaze to Hephe for a moment before nodding. “Okay.”We walked for a couple of meters before arriving at a secluded yet open ground. Carved statues of prominent faces are standing everywhere. ‘Wait, where are we?’ I thought we were still in the camps. Did the-‘“Do you still remember me, my lady?”“Of course, why wouldn’t I? I also think you’re the one who I saw last, the night before I was imprisoned in my abduction. Am I mistaken?”He smiled slightly before wiggling his head. “No, my lady.”“How should I thank you?”He was taken aback by my sudden question of his desire for payment in return, but he retained his slight smile and went silent for a moment.“Perhaps you can consider ou
Roxxane's Point of View"So do you mean that throughout my abduction, almost all of you were in misery and frenzy?"Arshana incessantly nodded. "But that is nothing compared to Alpha's."'Why?""He is beyond himself. He didn't let anyone sleep until they have something important to report to him regarding your whereabouts. He alerted every Kingdom that he will be inspecting their territory. Which is, in all odds, against the Law of Agreement. Because it will violate the proprietorship and authority rights of the other werewolves. But here he is, the rising most powerful Alpha, demanding a search of action to be implemented in different states. No one expects that at all because throughout our era, no one ever did such influential yet threatening act.""I don't think that's a good idea right?""It....well, the vote is halved. I heard some talking that it is very absurd to do that, but others argue that it is just right. To make everyone feel the rage of the greatest Alpha and must know
