I do not know how long I cried. When my sobs stopped, I did my business and went to the sink. I had few hiccups when I caught my breath. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and I almost broke into another session of self-pity. It was not enough that the crying gave me a swollen face and red eyes, my curls had decided to become a tangled mess. I washed my face and wiped my wet hands over my hair. I brushed my fingers through the curls and managed to make a somehow decent messy bun.I looked again, at the girl in front of me, she had a sad face and glassy eyes. When did she become like this, emotional, vulnerable and weak. I have always encountered difficulties with great determination. No matter how difficult life is, no matter how many times I fall, I always stood up again. I never wavered in the face of adversity. I have always been alone, no one cheering me up except my own self. No one has ever broken me before, and I will not let him crack me.He managed to get through my barr
The restaurant was full, but still eerily quiet, you could only hear the clutter of knives and forks on the plates. Both Karish and Herbert were tense, I felt the air was heavy with excitementIt reminded me of the claim ceremony where high-ranking wolves gathered. Only now, not only beta versions but also Jordan's. They looked at each other waiting for signs of challenge. All of them are eager to show their dominance and power over the othersIt soon became difficult to breathe, many eyes were fixed on our table. I was not sure why but I was not very curious to know why I did not like crowds, it suffocates meI finished my dinner quickly and excused myself that I wanted to take a walk, have some time alone from everyone and clear my head. I went through the back door to the building and into the gardenI followed the brick road and brought the beauty into the night scene, so calm and peaceful. The garden was beautifully designed in sections, the flowers adored all the colors of the r
I spun the keys around my fingers and examined the piece of paper that Marius had given me. He wrote the address of the house where I lived with my mother before she died. He said he bought the house, the owner was happy to sell it for a low price. Because no one wants to live in a place where someone was murdered. I thought I might go and check it out sometime soon. Maybe I could know more about my mother or find clues about my father's identity Marius said he did not know anything about my father, and it looked like only me and my mother lived in the houseBANG!The door slammed shut so hard that I jumped in my seat I was lost in my thoughts, processed everything that Marius told me that I forgot that Karish was here with me and we will share the room. He seemed to have another feast of anger, god knows why I stared at him and then turned around and went to the bathroom to take a showerHe grabbed me by the arm and led me towards him"Do not do that!" He said through clenched teeth
It was a slow evening at the restaurant, the cooking staff has left and I am left with the other kid to clean and close I say he is a child because he is sixteen, but the guy is built like a tower How did he become so tall and muscular when he is not in any sports team? Most of the other kids at school avoid him. Sometimes girls try to talk to him but he stares and pushes them out of his way. He looks scary but I'm not afraid of him, he keeps to himself and never bullies me. I never think I heard him talk, even when we work together.So tonight it was another quiet cleaning session with the quiet mass of muscles. We finished pretty quickly and I went to throw the garbage through the back door. The ally was dark but I knew the way, I've done this a hundred times.When I turned around, I noticed that it was not alone. A gloomy figure stood in the dark, probably a homeless person looking for food. I was going to give them some of the remains as the one who was not closer I recognized fro
"I came to check on you.""I feel GOOD Go away!"I screamed from my seat on the bed.Instead of walking, she went in and sat down by the edge of the bed"I think it's time for you to start getting ready""I'm not going anywhere" I did not bother to look at her. She was disgustingly cute and I still hated her gut feeling. She's the last person I wanted to talk to, where's Arosh anyway? I have not seen her in a Why did she disappear when I needed her most?"Did you quarrel with Karish?" Melissa askedI sat up to meet her"Is that why he asked me to check you out?"So the bastard would rather talk to Melissa and send her to check on me and then do it myself, I'll kill them both."Pass away!" I repeated."I thought maybe we can get ready here together, then the boys will get ready in the other room""Ready for what? I'm not going anywhere!" I'm starting to sound like a broken record"I know we did not start well but we are both future Punas by an allied group. Despite our differences, I w
We followed a winding road, walked up through the forest for about an hour. Then we reached a city, a werewolf city apparently, I learned to make the difference between humans and the supernatural. Some buildings were modern and others had colonial and European style, somehow looked harmonious despite the contrast After a while we left the city and reached a large gate on a high stone wall. Karish pulled the car to a halt and one of the guards approached the driver's side window. After Karish showed him the invitation, he returned to his position and spoke through the security headset. Shortly after that, the gates opened slowly and we got through. I could only see trees for a while, until it turned into bushes. The bushes fused together on a high hedge, I could only assume that it was some kind of garden. The green wall stretched a couple of miles before leaving the road to an open space Between thick trees on both sides, the castle stood high in front of a botanical landscape that w
I was on edge all the way, my nerves felt like the road went on and on and on. I did not like to be kept in the dark. There's too much at stake. What did the king want to call all the herd leaders on the continent? The king, who never cared about his people, let villains roam free and left each flock to themselves. The king that no one has seen for over ten years, suddenly became interested in his kingdom and decided to get involved in the packaging? Why? Why? The questions kept nagging in my brain. Neither Richard nor my father had the faintest idea of the cause. I glanced at the review mirror, could it be that I was sitting in the back seat? Can not be! How would he know? Maybe I should not have taken her with me? What if he recognizes her? What if he takes her away from me or, in the worst case, kills her? I should have considered these scenarios before and thought about her safety first, I should not have come here in the first place.We finally reached our goal, as soon as I go
"These are your chambers, your Highness." said the maid as she opened the double doors. "Is there anything I can help you with?" She asked."I'm going to take a bath. I need to change my clothes." I came here with only the clothes on my back and the little handbag."I'll get you some clothes and I'll send someone to help you with your bath.""No, I can take a bath myself. Thank you." I said and she apologized and closed the door behind her.The room that entered was furnished with sofas, a dining table, some cabinets and a piano. I opened the door to what I assumed was the bedroom and I walked towards the king bed with four posts.I kicked off my shoes and fell on the mattress with a sigh. It has only been a few hours since I stepped into this castle but it felt like the days have passed, I was tired and exhausted. What the king - my uncle - did before, if I had not seen it with my own eyes, I would not have believed.As he touched my head with my fingers, I saw my whole life flash in
