~~~ Marcus~~~I have never been so scared in my life, like how I am right now. Her eyes filled with hatred and anger, seared through my heart like a hot iron burning a cloth. I continued looking at her eyes, shocked so much that I couldn't bring myself to move my eyes away. "Don't hate me! Don't hate me! Pls don't!, I muttered fervently in my heart.I don't know whether I will be able to forgive myself if she actually leaves me because of this moment. "I couldn't believe that I, who was feared by all and sundry and known to be fearless, was afraid of a woman, well my woman" I thought as I chuckled.Was still calculating on how to apologize, when the hatred flickered away, like it wasn't there to begin with and it was replaced by an eerie calmness. Her eyes lighted up and the corners of her lips widened as if she was just playing around. "What just happened, was it an illusion?" I questioned myself. "You're mine", her voice sounded, thick and sultry, reviving the excitement that h
~~~Marcus~~~ It has been quite an eventful day, an interesting and fulfilling one at that, I must say. From the narcissistic elders,who wanted to run my life and ruin my day, to meeting my mate. It was quite funny that I still don't know her name yet. Nevertheless, I am blessed to have met her. Have always thought I would live this life without meeting my fated one, all thanks to the moon goddess for sending her my way I suppose. Oh! I almost forgot about that girl, Lilian, hopefully she has decided to let go and go on with her life. "Alpha", James' voice broke in through the thick silence as he entered the room, his usual calm demeanor engraved with something more urgent this time. Was still waiting for him to drop the urgent information, when his eyes widened, as he took in the scene before him. I would be surprised, if I were him too. For the longest of years, my sexuality was being questioned, with the elders forcing their daughters down my throat, which was one of the
~~~ Ember ~~~I have been running like what seemed like an eternity, a dark figure stretched out his hands to grasp me. "Noo! Nooo!!! Somebody save me!" I screamed with my legs raised up in the air, as I awoke from my long nightmare. I panted as I tried to recall what had just happened, up to no avail.My body trembled as cold sweat streamed down from my body to the ground, making some droplet sounds. I could feel myself shivering,I brought the blanket closer to my body, tightly wrapping myself with it, as I looked around for Sophie, thinking I was still in school."Where am I?" I asked myself as my eyes finally adjusted to the light. I glanced around the foreign room, which was looking cold with not a single soul in sight. The recollection of all that has happened charged into my brain, hitting me like a tsunami, as it dawned on me that I have been caught up in a web of something, I know nothing about.Tears streamed down my face as the memory of being chased before losing cons
~~~ Ember ~~~I watched in disbelief at the camera footage still playing in my hands. It was quite unbelievable that I was the one behaving so shamelessly but the video was there to prove it and all I could do was sigh "I will…kill that old man myself, if he's still alive when I meet him" I swore as I gritted my teeth with eyes filled with anger and hatred flickering in them. I got up and made my way to the door, which I opened and stepped out, to take in the surroundings of the place I am. With each floor I stepped on, where men and women gaited in what looked like a patrol uniform, walking from one side to another. "How will I escape from here" the question settled in my mind, as a sense of unease coursed through my veins, settling in my gut and sending shivers down my spine. "Where can I find Marcus pls?", I questioned a lady who was putting on an apron, probably on kitchen duty."You mean the Alpha?" the lady questioned, looking at me with eyes filled with a mixture of tend
~~~ Marcus~~~ The event surrounding Lilian's death was an eye opener to the little things which I and my right hand man, James, had overlooked and the potential risks involved. I wouldn't like any harm befalling my mate, due to my carelessness. The little question on," who threw her down? Who sent them ? and what was the motive behind their action?" Has still not been answered to this day but it all pointed towards one direction,"the Elder's". The elders of my clan have always been hell bent on me marrying one of their daughters as my chosen mate, which I had vehemently refused because I believe in the one the goddess has chosen. It was quite unbelievable that they had managed to infiltrate into my territory without my knowledge. I had just finished a discussion with James on how the place should be sanitized and the traitors found and uprooted when a sound disrupted the atmosphere. Grrrrrlll!! Grrrrrlll!!! My phone rang out disrupting the serenity of my surroundings
~~~ Marcus ~~~ I watched as Lucas cowered under my glare, his stammered excuses only fueled the anger that was already building up inside me. My mate, gone. " How could he let this happen under his watch?" I questioned myself. I could barely control the surge of anger and fury threatening to explode, but I knew I had to focus on resolving this issue and bringing her back to stay by my side. "Tell me what happened, now," I demanded again, my voice very low with a sharp glint flickering in my gaze. Lucas swallowed hard, his eyes darting to James as if pleading to be granted a means of escape. " She …. She went into the store and I stood outside to keep watch, just as beta James instructed me, Alpha". " She was supposed to be out after a few minutes but when I checked she was gone. I searched everywhere but there was no sign of her". My chest was heaving as though it was being squeezed, panic gripping my heart. I felt my wolf , Alfie, grunting and pacing restlessly in
~~~ Ember ~~~A sigh of relief escaped my throat. I have never been as relieved as I am right now getting away from that man called Marcus. His eyes made me uncomfortable, like I might get trapped in them and never get to avenge my parents The journey to the coordinates written down by my father, felt longer than it should be, with each passing minute. The rush of adrenaline kept me on edge as I constantly looked back, afraid that the driver assigned to me might catch on and chase after me. My thoughts were still swirling, thinking about all the events that has transpired since I got the information that my family was totally wiped out and finally waking up in Marcus' house. As we neared the safe house, a memory which have been hidden by age and growth sprouted up in my head, it was indeed a familiar street from my childhood and with the memory came nostalgia.This was a place where my father always said we will find safety, I couldn't understand what he meant then but now, its a
The two men threw me into the car, like a bundle of garbage that was worth nothing. They entered the front seat and jammed the door. The jamming of the door increased the trembling and fear coursing through my veins. Soft whimpering sounds escaped my throat but no sound could be made out of it because of the rough taping around my mouth. I turned my neck around, to take a glimpse of Mr. Grant,for the last time, maybe.. just maybe, he will turn around and save me. Just maybe he will send some helpers or make some reports so I can be saved. But there he stood outside the door, his two hands placed in his pockets as he watched the car drive out of the safe house area. His eyes and I interlocked and he brought out one of his hands and waved at me, his lips curving in the shape of what looks like a smile. " A smile", I questioned myself in disbelief, I watched as he turned and made his way into the house. My eyes lit up again when he turned his face once again towards my di
~~~ Guther ~~~I watched as she kept glancing at me, with her eyes full of tears, and for some weird reason, it disturbed my soul." Release that girl", my wolf's voice suddenly rang out disrupting my thoughts." What do you mean by releasing her?"I questioned him. My wolf is known throughout the organization as wicked and ruthless and I was surprised when I heard him say something about releasing the girl. " That child will be someone, very powerful in the future, more powerful than the royals even"" She has the scent of the goddess on her, I can smell it, and I have only perceived that scent once in my life", he continued.I would have loved to help her escape, if only that red car had fought with us, I can't just stop the car and get her out, not with Ben in the car. "Whether she will be powerful in the future or not, my future is on the line now, same with that of my family", I said to my wolf, who was still pacing around in circles." We're bound with an oath to the Wolf Fang
~~~ Ember ~~~As the car began to move again, my mind continued to race. "Who is the 'He' they were talking about?" The question echoed louder with every bump in the road and the humming sound of the car engine, but no answer came. I was too exhausted, too afraid to keep thinking.My scalp throbbed with pain, and the lingering sting of Ben's hand on my cheek was a constant reminder of my helpless state. I took in deep breaths as I fought against the tears that threatened to stream out but they betrayed me as tears rolled down my cheeks, feeling warm against the cold tape on my mouth. Guther, probably annoyed by my deep breaths, shifted his sight towards me through the rearview mirror. His expression was unreadable as before, cold and calculating. Unlike Guther, Ben seems to enjoy the torment, and the cruelty, it excites him. I know what to expect when it comes to him but Guther….. he seems unpredictable and more dangerous to me. I made a quick mental mark, to avoid him at all cost
