A pale figure lay on the floor too weak to move nor make a sound, cobwebs displaying art of untidiness among the thick layer of dust on every piece of furniture indicating how neglected she has been left to the hands of death. Emelia looks up at the shimmering moon navigating through the dancing curtains swaying to the rhythm of the night breeze. It was dark a time every creature within the deep dark forest revisited the bosom of their homes to rest their weary bone yet there was no sign of sleep, her body was on fire making her moan time and again from the shredding pain of the poison fed to her by her husband and his first love. Beauty was not a standard she did not meet. Sweet soft lips, smooth skin as soft as a baby’s butt, slender hands, and legs fit for nothing but a model of high demand. With everything, why didn't he want her?So much was to be said, yet her lips burned from the wounds caused by the acidic substance fed to her. “Why isn't she dead yet?” her husband's desp
Emelia opened her eyes, and the white roses beautifully spread around the water fountain caught her attention, she smiled unknowingly. White roses were her favorites. She turns around and every eye is on her, from the back of her head, she can feel the piercing gaze of everyone. She tried moving her legs and with no effort, it reacted, “no pain…” She thought. This was not the scene she had been expecting to see. The last of her memory was her dying a painful death and here she is with everyone staring at her like she is some expensive artifact laid out for display. She raised her pale fingers with nails painted blushed pink to her face, her tears felt too real for all this to be some dream, Emelia held the the hem of her dress pinching herself so hard, that she folded her lips not daring to let the screams bottled up within. Only then did she realize she had been reborn. The venue did not only look familiar but it was the day she wished to overturn the outcome more than anything
Entering the Alpha’s office and carefully closing the door behind her, Emelia took glances around the room. suddenly feeling suffocated and jumped up, it has always been a big office. She was familiar with its intriguing paintings and decor having visited it on countless occasions with her late parents, but today had its specialties.“Sit child” Alpha Camfrey urged her. Unlike Luna who had a specialty towards her two children, the alpha caredless. He was more interested in who would be his heir and so far Mark is the only befitting one fitting him into his standards of the next Alpha. Emelia pulled out a chair for herself with shaking hands. Her legs shaking tremendously from the tension scattered all over the room. “If she doesn't want the wedding, call it off… I dont have all day” a cold voice echoed all through the walls only increasing the nervousness within her. Emelia turned to a dark corner of the room, he was dressed in all black with very little light illuminating the da
The room felt so silent the sound of falling leaves could be heard. Emelia had her eyes on the floor, she dared not look in the face of everyone most especially Fredrick Camfrey. Silence wept through for another five minutes before a word was said. “ It is settled then '' Alpha Camfrey announced, dusting his hands cheerfully. Emilia sighs in relief. She breathed as much air as her mouth could carry for her lungs. Mark turned and everyone had a satisfied look on, he was the only one enraged by the decision. “ How can it be over?” he demanded. Losing his fated mate did not bug him as much as knowing his brother got her. Fredrick marrying Emelia will be nothing less than a hot slap in his face. “I can't have my mate marry my brother, '' Mark announced but the word brother sounded rather strange rolling out of his mouth. He was not the only one who felt its strangeness but the red-eyed demon seated felt it too. “Emelia just can't marry Fred,'' Mark concluded. Luna comfrey patted her
7 days down and everything feels like a touch of illusions cooked up in Emelia’s head. Emelia has not had a moment of peaceful sleep. Her thoughts constantly drifted away into the unknown abyss of uncertainty. Staring down at the snow-white wedding dress soon to be worn, she sighs regretfully. Her wedding has been all her parents talked of as she came of age. The alliance they all wished and prayed for. There was nothing they did or said that did not have to do with her marrying their best friend's son. Her wedding had been all her parents long anticipated. The wedding dress had not only been exclusively customized with everything hand-designed but 3 years was enough time to have them pay for the dream wedding for their princess before the unfortunate hands of death snatched them away from her. She had thought he was the one, she had carefully chosen every design with her mother, handpicking the day's color and flowers. She went for dessert and cake tasting and here she was marryi
The wedding was like a glimpse and just before she could blink it was all over, Emelia stared out of the window watching the night light spread across the city beautifully. She smiles watching the folks go about their duties with smiles and cheerful behaviors. Deep down Emelia wanted such a life, she wanted to feel real happiness again and live for herself.Her eyes squint holding back her tears as they threaten to fall. The car takes a new turn making her aware of the change of directions. She snaps out of her thoughts taking her head away from the window turning her attention to the man before her. A sly smile plays on Fredrick’s lips watching the pudzle look of the woman before him. To say he had not been expecting her to react would be a lie.“We are married” he stated the fact not taking his eyes away from the front. He was too tired, but not exhausted enough. Emelia raised a questioning brow. “I know we are married, but why the change of direction, this is certainly not the way
“Going somewhere?” a cold voice whispered, sending shivers down her spine. Emelia quickly pushed herself off him but the feeling of her hands against his hand's chest did not digest down her throat. “Why are you naked and in my room?” she half yells but the man before her pays no attention to her fright and screams. He walks away so casually heading for the second door. Emelia did not stop to rethink her decision before bashing in, and he stood all naked and folly unclad before her.“Sweet goddess' ' she cursed, turning away almost immediately. “Why don't you wear clothes around the house?” she laments her cheeks heating up. “Says the lady who handpicked me for a groom” his cold whispers were rather driving him crazy than she had anticipated. Emelia did not know how long it took but dashing out the dressing room was indeed the right choice. She walks over to the balcony, letting the fresh night breeze blow through her jumbled-up thoughts.This was a night she had long prepared for, she
The sun was up when Emelia heard a low pounding on the door, she jumped to her feet carefully taking out the parcel that had been delivered the night before and pouring its contents on the bed.She takes a final look before deciding on opening the door. Just as her hands were about to turn the doorknob, could hands drag her from the door pushing her hard back against the wall. Emelia winces in pain.“What is it with you brothers slamming me so hard on the wall?'' she frowned but the man before her wasn't paying attention to her complaints. His cold lips settled on her nap sensually sulking onto her skin.“Hey.. we agreed about nooo… ahh'' Emelia moaned, trying hard to push the man away but he was too big and powerful for her.For some reason, her body was reacting differently from her mind. She was screaming to push him away but her mind was the only path for her with logical reasoning.His hands are carefully wrapped around his neck pulling him even closer. Her lips slightly pattern,
Clair sat on the balcony overlooking the pack eagerly waiting for the arrival of her husband. Unlike before when Mark eagerly hurried from work into her arms, she was gradually finding herself pleading for his attention. “Dama” she called out to the Omega making her bed. “Yes my lady” Dama answers, hurrying to the side of her mistress. “Is my husband not back yet? I thought his meeting was only supposed to last for an hour” She questioned and the omega could only have her eyes to the ground. “Maybe there is a delay. We all know now is a busy time for the alpha” Certainly it was a busy time but not for Mark. never had he been so busy to not see her. Even on the mating ceremony, he had found time to be with her and not his fated mate. “It's okay, I will go see my father” Clair sighs standing up. Mr Adnerson was not only one of those Mark feared the most but also a powerful figure worth ruining everything and fitting it all at once. “Tell Mark I will be back tonight” she announced taki
Emilia walks into the room mansion and the aroma of delicious delicacy quickly picks up her interest. She casually glanced around but there was no sign of her husband or Kelvin.“Didn't he say I should have dinner with him” she questions walking up to her room. As expected it was quiet but carried a lingering scent. Emilia stips off her clothes walking into the shower. Nothing was as calming as a quick warm bath after a day's affairs. She walked over to the huge wardrobe and picked out a white floral dress with long sleeves just above her knee. It was perfect and comfortable for the cold weather. She was about to close when boxes on the other end caught her attention.“Tomorrow” she opened a box and it was boldly written.“This was not here in the morning,” she said, picking up all the boxes. As expected, it was not only one of the finest designs in the country but also abroad. It came with jewelry and shoes. She shrugged, putting it all back; she was too famished to think of what th
Fredrick Camfrey made his woman's seat comfortable before taking his. “Here have this,” he says, placing some freshly picked blueberries on her red rosy lips. Emilia could never resist blueberries. She takes it all in watching the man before she casually prepares medication for her. “Here” he places a tablet in her mouth as she takes it and he opens a bottle of water which he feeds her. Emilia could only comply, the man before her was suddenly too powerful for her to handle. “Let's begin,” he announced, watching Emilia with a calm smile. “Why are you here?” she suddenly found her voice. Her voice was low but everyone heard her. “To take care of my stubborn wife and make some more money for good returns” he replies effortlessly. Emilia has never seen anyone as shameless as him. “You can't be flirting with me at such times” Emilia grinned but the smugness on Fredricks's face was too evident to be ignored. “Mr Robert, I do not remember giving out orders to have Anderson and Zorah cor
“The night was fast giving way to dawn when the sleeping figure on the bed yawned tiredly. Never did they say pain could be less. The memories of the previous night flash through her eyes as she holds tight to her duvet. Fredrick had not left her side for a minute, he was there as she cried and held on tight to her hands, her nails digging into his flesh but never did he say a word nor did he complain. Emilia steps down from her bed watching the view from outside. Broad shoulders, messy hair, and a handsome posture. What more could a woman ask for in a man? She pondered. Fredrick turned to her with a cup of coffee in hand as he walked over swiftly placing the mug on the table and his hands straight for her forehead feeling her temperature. Emilia takes a step back but is pulled forward by the strong arms of her husband. “You have a little fever but it should be gone in a day,” he says so casually. Emilia could only stare at the man before her, not sure what to say or how to react.
The sun was down when Emelia walked into the mansion. Everywhere was quiet. The diner had a delicious meal laid out, but there was no sign of her husband. Emelia sighed, walking up to her room. She was tired and all she wanted was a warm bath and a good sleep.Stepping out of the bathroom barely wrapped in her towel, Emelia jolted, staring back at the figure comfortably seated before her. “Don't you tend to knock?” she hissed, trying her hair, but the man before her was in no time for games.“We leave in ten minutes… wear this” he pointed to the dress neatly placed on the bed. Emelia turned to protest, but there was no one to protest to. He was gone like him, became so mysterious. “I am not his doll”, she laments but goes ahead to wear the dress as ordered. Emelia was out in ten
Emelia needed no one to remind her of the type of man she had married. Fredrick was a non-player, and she was certain more news of his sexcapes would be felt more in the future. “I hope you aren't here to talk about his sex life?” she asked. Fabulous smiles. It's been a year since they last saw each other and now the woman before him seems to have grown so much. “Last… I saw you. I couldn't get the name of Mark Camfrey off your lips and here you are. You've not said a word about him, is it that bad? The rumors have it you called it off, and he was married to her in no time”, Emelia smiled. Fabulous was not far from the truth. In her past life, it had all been about Mark Camfrey. She couldn't go on without him, her life revolved around him, but now it was different. She did not care if he lived or died. “So much is hidden in the dark. I have always been stupid and ignored the relationship he had with her. We are fated mates, but that was certainly a mistake on the part of the moon g
Emelia slammed the door to her room so hard she heard the earth shake. She slumps to her knees, burying her head deep in her palms. The memories of a few minutes ago flashed through her eyes as she tried hard to catch her breath…..¬ “I've never been better” Fred spoke hoarsely, his voice barely coming out as a whisper, but Emelia heard him. He shook his head, losing his grip on her waist, giving her a split second to dash away to the corner of the car, trying to be as far as possible from him. “Drive quick” he backs at the driver as his breathing becomes even heavier. “What's wrong with you?” Emelia reached out her hand over his forehead, but it was held almost before her skin could contact him. “Don't touch me”, he grits his teeth so hard, that she can see veins popping from the corner of his face. This was not the man she was used to. Fred was always cold and composed but never in a disorientated manner like he appeared to be at the moment. Emelia watched as he loosened his tie
Emelia could not tell how it happened, but all of a sudden everyone's eye was on her, the sudden cold breeze blowing through her felt like part of her was gone. “Hey,” a hushed masculine voice calls out to her. Emelia gradually carries her head up staring into the blue eyes she was willing to drown from the shame. “It's okay,” he whispers, gently patting her back. For a while, she leaned into him not daring to look at the damage behind her but a scream came from the floor. “How dare you… who dare you push me to the floor Emilia... How wicked can you be?” Claire's crying voice grew noisily. Emelia swiftly turns and there she is on the floor half her dress lying a few feet away from her as she tries hard to cover herself with the little piece of fabric left on her.“It wasn't me... Why will I do something like this' ' Emelia voices out but her denial is only submerged by the noisy wheeling of Clair attracting the attention of everyone including the Alpha and Luna as they hurry to he
Night came and as expected Emelia was ready, she walked down the stairs joining hands with the awaiting hands that held hers at the foot of the stairs. “Mrs Fredrick” a little whimper escaped her throat listening to the servants address her as such. She held hard to her clutch not showing her nervousness as they rode away. Pulling up into the grant halls where she had been barely a few days ago for her wedding gave her multiple feelings. Emelia felt the fresh breeze blow through her braided hair perfectioning it to her back. His hands reached out to her, and without second thoughts, she placed her gloves-covered hands onto his. Stepping into the giant hall every eye turns to the arriving couple. Wearing an exquisite black evening gown capturing and enchanting her beauty, Emelia slowly glides her way by her husband's side. The sleep silhouette gracefully hugs her curves with a daring side slide adding a touch of bold sophistication as she makes a striking entrance by her man's sid
