"Madeleine...""Madeleine...""Madeleine,"She could hear that masculine voice, the sound muffled as if she were underwater and slowly breaking through the surface as the voice gradually became clearer and clearer until she could perfectly hear Elias' gentle tone, feeling a light tap over her cheek.Her eyelids fluttered open, meeting those blue and dark like the starry night eyes, his straight nose so close to touching hers as he held her pressed against his bare chest, almost suffocating her with his burning heat."Emerick," She mewled, abruptly jolting upwards and out of Elias' hot embrace as she immediately remembered exactly where she'd lastly seen him and what state he was in.Something was not right."I have to see him," She anxiously blurted out, crawling over the bed closer towards Elias as she pleadingly gazed into his galaxy eyes."You have to rest. You are still recovering from that panic attack. I cannot risk-""No! I want to see him!""Will you please let me see him? Ple
Madeleine's loud screams pierced through the air, her body violently squirming as she kept trying to break herself free from the Alpha's strong hold."Let.me.go! Let go of me you fucking monster!"She struggled and fought with all her might, tirelessly kicking and pushing against him as he quickly moved through the pristine white and maze-like palace, not once minding her or even pausing to better grasp at her flailing arms and legs as he held her pressed against him with only one arm and by the waist.Hot and furious tears kept trailing over her cheeks, maddened by the memory of Emerick's unresponsive stance and the way he had been bound as if he were a rabid animal.As if he were just some disobedient dog.She angrily roared at the thought, just about to try and sucker-punch the very same alien motherfucker that was currently holding her against her will when he abruptly stopped and placed her over that same mattress she'd slept on before, noticing they were already back in their ro
Her arms remained wrapped around her bare knees as she sat over the mattress with her back pressed against its soft and semi-crescent headboard, resting her forehead against her knees and refusing to raise her sight from her lap as she could hear movement somewhere in the room.She slowly breathed, revelling into that single moment of peace and closing her eyes as her mind carried her back to those moments with Emerick, her heart warming at the memory of the feel of him, his sweet scent and those soft lips...She pushed out a sigh through her nostrils, a strong sense of longing tugging at her very soul as she realized how much she actually missed him and that she just wanted to be with him now...Free, and with him by her side, protecting her and keeping her warm at night..."Madeleine,"She shivered at the sound of that masculine voice, mistaking it as Emerick's for a fleeting moment before quickly remembering exactly who was in the room with her.She refrained herself from making an
Everything hurt. Her back, her neck, every single muscle in her body and her head too, making her feel like she wanted to just lay down and die.Die and finally escape the nightmare she was currently living.She let out a pained groan as Elias carefully placed her over the cushioned seat, throwing him a deadly glower as he paused to peer down at her for a moment."Feed her," He commanded as he turned to walk away, her gaze falling onto the female standing just a few steps away as she meekly nodded, consciously avoiding to throw a single glance in the Alpha's direction.Madeleine blew an annoyed and tired sigh, resting her back against the seat's rounded backrest as her body felt so weak she could barely sit upright."Just so you know, I am not a fucking hamster," She muttered under her breath from her place, immediately receiving a confused look from Meoni."What is a "fucking hamster"?" The princess questioned whilst slowly approaching with a genuinely curious expression plastered al
"What if he catches us?" Madeleine whispered as she followed Meoni with a little bit of difficulty through the large and empty hallway, their delicate footsteps barely audible over the marble-like and smooth-textured floor."We will lie," Meoni simply answered.Well, duh."And tell him what?" Madeleine whisper-yelled back whilst staring at the back of her head."I don't know, you're the human, not me!" She hissed, throwing a fleeting glance over her shoulder."What is that supposed to mean?" Madeleine's brows furrowed, feeling rather offended as she glowered after Meoni again."You're good at these things, feelings, words and whatnot," The princess casually answered whilst keeping her gaze trained ahead, navigating through the palace's walls she indubitably knew by heart.Madeleine's heart however kept pounding faster and faster as she quietly followed for the rest of the journey, becoming so restless and impatient as well as that ominous fear of getting caught by Elias kept dangling
Madeleine's heartbeat pounded into her chest as if trying to break free, her hand shooting out to take a hold of his arm and try coaxing him into lowering his weapon before she turned around in his hold, her eyes meeting those beautiful purple galaxy ones."Please don't shoot her, she's my friend!" She pleaded, watching him peer at her for a moment before rather hesitantly lowering his gun, his other hand sliding to rest over the small of her back.Heat pinched at her cheeks as she could not help but feel so aware of it, her palms lightly pressing against his firm abdomen as she kept gazing into those violet galaxies."What are you doing here?""I'm escaping and I am taking you with me," He replied with blatant determination."But h-how..." She lightly shook her head, quickly deciding to rather leave it be and not bother asking him how he managed to escape since there wasn't really the time nor place for such questions."Did he hurt you?" Emerick hurried to ask her before she could sa
Madeleine's lips parted, watching with wild fascination and terror as Emerick fought the group of guards with such ease and agility, almost missing some of his strikes and dodges as he moved so insanely fast.His thick muscles stretched and coiled with every movement of his body, each step and kick or punch looking so precise and calculated as if he were an android and not a flesh and bone-made being.And within the span of only few minutes he managed to swiftly disarm each one of them, mercilessly shooting them one by one afterwards until the last remained, all shaking like a leaf and barely breathing as Emerick stared him down with nothing but pure and unbridled rage."She. belongs. to no one!" He growled out between gritted teeth in that weird language of theirs, proceeding to empty a full barrel into the guard's skull as Madeleine startled and blinked a few times in fright, visibly shocked by Emerick's brutal actions.Emerick breathed fast and hard, coldly looking upon the guard's
The Alpha's cocky expression suddenly faltered for the briefest moment before quickly recovering, keeping his stance cool and impassive as he silently continued to look at her for another few paces of time.Complete and utter silence befell around them as well, the BloodHound and his illyrian companion refusing to even breathe as they stared at the little earthling before them with such sickening shock and terror.Had she finally succumbed to one of those earthian mental breakdowns?Meoni's lips parted to let out an anguished sound as that gun suddenly cocked at Madeleine's temple, hearing Emerick rather breathlessly call out her name into a desperate plea."Madeleine..."However, the girl's undivided attention remained trained on the Alpha, gauging his every little reaction as those dark blue galaxy eyes refused to leave her own, probably trying to detect any hesitations from her part and call her bluff.Not that he would find any...She thought with determination, her teeth grinding
