LIONEL
I didn’t move for some reason. No, I wasn’t moved by her infuriating display before me. I’ve had girls – in multitudes – try to catch my attention with being sexy, so sexy was nothing new to me. I remained fixed in a position because I was just trying to comprehend how foolish this girl actually was.First, she had gotten it wrong – I didn’t want anything from her when I gave her the job in place of Regina, then she proved even more stupid to show that she was so cheap, wanting to sleep with me even without me asking for it.Interesting.She drew closer now, already naked on the table, stretching forth her boobs towards my face.I remained in my position smiling at her. “Are you this desperate about having sex with me?” I asked as casually as ever.“I know you want it.” She replied as she licked her lips. “I’m only making it easy for you because you’re my type of guy and I want you.”“Alright, that’s good. I’ve goLIONELShit! I thought within myself. Had I lost track and let go of her?“Oh, really?’ I tried to remain as composed as possible, showing the least interest I could in the talk. “Yup!” Ryker replied. “Apparently, they had gotten information about another company seeking actresses and it made it much easier for Regina to actually get the job.”“At a major competitor’s company?” I asked.“Well, it’s Goldie. They are good and crazy with their cinematography but it’s still nothing compared to Sun Entertainment.”“I see.”“That’s what keeping the both of them away now.”“Away for how long?” I asked.Ryker laughed. “You’re missing your luna already, aren’t you?”What the actual heck? If for anything, I’d really love if this career could be so good that it would lead her far away from Silver City along with her damned family such that they will never have to come back, and I’d never have to see her
REGINALucky was a rather smallish man with thick, stubby hair and a nerdy look. He had eyeglasses on and appeared to be more professional than I would have ever imagined him to be.“Hello.” I greeted. “Good day, Sir Lucky.”“Hello, Regina.” He replied. “Because I believe that’s who you are, right?”“Right!” I replied smartly. I could guess that Frankenstein had already called him to inform him that I was coming and of course, it would only make my application easier. It was just as the interview began that every tension, I had felt prior to coming into Goldie vanished. Lucky was a cool person, interacting smartly and appeared to like everything about me for who I was.“Well, there’s a movie project we’re working on right now. I’m just the CEO, not the casting director. I will introduce you to the casting director, after which he will audition you briefly just to see where you best fit in on set. Is that okay?”“That’s
REGINA “I don’t understand.” My mind instantly raced, trying to see where the problem had come from. Had I come too late? If I had, even though I clearly didn’t, I could apologize. Was I looking too tattered? Perhaps, he had seen me and Gwen in the bar the day before and was probably such an immature person to feel I wasn’t good for the job? Where was this coming from? I needed answers and my brain was already crafting multiple scenarios as to how this could have happened. “Can we not just talk about it?” Lucky was strangely keeping his voice down. “I’m just being nice and all, sparing you the embarrassment so please, just go.” There was no way in the world that I will collect the bullshit that Lucky had to say and walk out of the company with my head bowed without knowing why this was happening to me. “No, sir. I think you’re supposed to speak to me… you’re supposed to tell me something!” “Regina Donova
REGINA Anyone that may have passed by me at that moment would have taken me for someone going insane. I remained rooted to a spot, processing my reality. Does it mean Lionel was so evil, so stupidly childish and cringe, that he would instruct Damian to go head over heels and try to molest me? But if he did tell Damian to do so, why didn’t he then tell Lucky the same thing? Why did he then tell Lucky to just let go? Now, Damian was dead. Wait a minute! I gasped as my jaw fell open. “No… no…” I gasped. I didn’t want to think that was true. Was I overthinking things already? I needed Gwen. I needed to meet Gwen. I hurried out of Goldie, taking another look at it as I got into a cab, wishing things had turned out differently, and yes, it would have. My whole career was right in front of me right now and it was taken all away by Lionel with just a simple phone call! Argh! “Are you okay, ma’am?” I di
LIONEL I had Frankenstein’s number, thanks to Ryker, and now, it was time to give him a good call. However, I thought it better to have the conversation face-to-face to make my points more clearly to him. Still, I needed him to come meet me somewhere – I didn’t want to have to go to the company any time soon and have foolish girls flash their nudes at me. “Hello?” His fickle voice came from the other side. “Hello, Frank. I assume you already know who’s on the line. My voice must be familiar.” I replied. “Sir Lionel.” He replied calmly. “Great. You mind coming out for a chat?” He agreed. I gave him a location, cut the line and put on the most casual outfit I could and a pair of sunglasses, making my way to the sit-out where I had told him to wait. Just as I expected, he was already there before me, waiting prudently. He rose and offered a handshake as I drew closer. “Sir.” I received the handshake. “Thank
REGINA Of course, Father was after protecting the reputation of Lionel Williams - my soon to be husband. I didn’t give a shit!I wanted to tell him to his face that I was beginning to have an idea of the type of devil he was and though my suspicions of Damian’s death was only based on theories, I was almost a hundred percent sure that Lionel was more than capable of killing Damian to prove a point. And yet, here I was… meant to marry him.I kept fuming throughout that day - pissed off at Lucky for letting me go at a threat even when I knew deep down that it wasn’t his fault, disappointed in my father for being so blind to a plain truth, angry at Lionel for merely existing. “He doesn’t want me, and yet he wants to keep me… He wants to cage me like some bird, stop me from having a life of my own!” I growled as I kept pacing around the room while Gwen remained on the bed, watching, lost in thoughts as well. We had both faced the shit together. “Maybe we need to find Marcy…” Gwen sudd
LIONEL“Grandpa!” I could hear my roar go round the mansion like roars of thunder. Grandpa and some attendants were out in no time and when grandpa saw Ryker on the ground in my arms, he ran straight to me instantly trying to make a head or tail of what could have taken place. “How did this happen, Lionel? Are we under attack?” He asked nervously, trying to regulate his breath and not panic, but I could see the fear in his body as he held Ryker. I could hear his heart racing. “Help him, Grandpa! What can we do?” He was still breathing. I could hear his heartbeat but it was gradually fading within him. He was going to die. “I cannot exactly treat this, Lionel. He needs to get to a hospital as soon as possible, but what I can do is to use my powers.” Grandpa replied. I looked up at him to see if he was serious. Grandpa Leonard, like some other unique wolf shifters out there, was one of the many that had special abilities even when he hardly ever talked about it. Grandpa was a heal
REGINAA few days past and I was yet to get over the scheming darkness of Lionel plaguing my life. I knew well that perhaps, I wouldn’t get over it, though until I came face to face with Lionel to tell him just how much of a piss of shit, he and his beta was right to his face.I just didn’t want to have to go all the way to his territory to do that, but we were getting married right? He was going to get it bluntly from me sooner or later.Father and I did not speak about anything through the passing days as I watched the intensity for the wedding preparation grow. The women frequented the house more often, all smiling and joyful, like two lovebirds were getting married under the bright full moon. I was sick of their joy. It’s not like they were pretending – they just didn’t have an idea of how much hate was brooding between me and my husband-to-be.Some of the women tried to talk to me every now and then, telling me things about how to serve the alpha. I barley gave any listening ears
REGINAI stopped, trying to catch my breath as I watched the man closely. “What do you want?” His English sounded plucked but he was speaking English anyway! He could speak what I could speak! This could be much easier. “Does your tongue sound so strange on mine that you don’t get to understand what I asked?”My silence had lasted too long. “I’m sorry.” I replied calmly. “I do understand you. I need your help.”“Many people come here every day with their display of all the vanities the world has to offer, seeking us out to take pictures and put out there everywhere. But our kind have lived within these mountains for hundreds of years and don’t want the disturbance of those from the outside. Your disturbance was of the different kind. We felt your energy and your call of faith, and now we have answered. State what you want.”I took a deep breath. “I need to restore my energy core.”He paused. “And what must have happened to you?”
LIONELI was still in the middle of fighting my way out but with that one moment of contemplating mercy came my downfall.Just then, another latch came and then another, and another until the latches formed complex strings around me, pulling me from all sides and throwing me to the ground. I roared in anger, trying to break free, trying to move my arms or legs but none responded. One of the men came closer now and from the distance I could see he was holding up a syringe. “Do not come close.” I growled. He hesitated, clearly moved by the threat at first but then he continued forward and slowly placed the syringe by my neck. Fuck! I cursed within my thoughts. I could feel the liquid slide in through my veins and I knew quite well that it was over. I felt my heart rate slow and everything in my body slowly came to relax. What the fuck would happen now, Lucius? I asked within me. They don’t want to kill us, that’s for
REGINAI was still waiting for something to take place. But for now, all that was around me was the darkness. These people had a new way of trapping their prisoners. I had expected that since they took me in as a prisoner, I was going to either be chained or kept in a cell. No, the Mountain Men had a different prison style, one even worse than being chained or trapped in a cell. I was in a dark room with a darkness that was seemingly unnatural. It was pitch black here to such great intensity that it felt like the darkness was light itself. It felt dangerous to move around as I couldn’t even tell in a bit what lay ahead, nor could I see through with my night vision or smell anything that was different from nothingness. All I could do was remain still where I was left and wait. “Had we made a wrong decision?” I asked Ruby. I could hear my voice echo. Oh, Regina. I can’t tell anymore what is going on. Ruby replied. Since your w
LIONELI glided through the forest slowly and cunningly. There was so much risk attached with the swarms of men I could feel moving through the forests as well. It was goodbye to the hotel now, and the plan was to get to the mountains and find Regina. Afterwards, we would leave this goddamned Maldives like we were never there. But for now, to get to the mountains at all was to pass through the forest alive. I could hear sounds as my senses picked on my surroundings. At first, it appeared to be the men, but it was only the ordinary activities of the forests. “We need to take the wolf form now.” I whispered to Lucius. I knew he consented. I crouched to the ground and slowly drifted into my wolf form. Now, Lucius was the one dominating the most. Things were about to get destructive. Lucius had no stopping. I continued through the forest and shortly, I heard another sound, like a footstep. Then another footstep came an
LIONEL I was in a world where I was just having a little fun and both women fell dead right before me while I barely escaped an attacker that could clean up a murder scene in seconds. I was in a world where everything was uncertain. What if I just found Regina to be dead? How would I explain it all to Grandpa? How would Grandpa ever forgive me when I wouldn’t even be able to forgive myself? Forgive myself? I gave it a thought. Had I done something wrong? Well, I had been careless with her. I should never have let her out of my sight, no matter how much I despised her. I should have ensured she was always there. Staying in a different room was a bad idea. Now, there was only one way to right all these wrongs. I needed to goddamn move! There was also the detective, though. Nicholas had called the night before and I had never reached out to him again. Perhaps this was also a good time to talk to h
LIONEL “No, Lucius. I think something is beginning to make sense. This cars speaks about healing... restoration of energy... ” Lucius waited, almost like he was beginning to see what I was seeing as well. “Do you remember the night at the wedding, Lucius? The moment when I and Regina were to heal from the blood bonding... We were not healing because our energy core was broken, but then Regina was not healing either.” Are you saying Regina has an issue with her energies as well? “I can’t conclude for sure, but it was most likely that somehow, Regina also had the problem with her energies. You said it yourself that the fact that we were broken did not in any way affect her own healing process, and yet she wasn’t healing fast enough. So what if she had come here…” To find healing? Lucius completed. Oh, dear goddess. I ran my fingers through my hair in realization. It was like an ima
REGINA It was so dark anyone could have stumbled and fallen but I could easily glide through thanks to my night vision. “Ray, come this way. Hold my hand and let’s go together.” I could hear Ray’s discomfort, stumbling over the rocky grounds as he tried to keep up. I held his arm now and continued through the cave. I could still spot the wolf ahead, gliding through gracefully, checking every now and then to see if we were still following. Then suddenly, the wolf vanished from sight. I was still so busy running as fast as I could that I didn’t even notice that the wolf was already out of sight. When I took notice, however, I came to a stop. Ray stopped beside me, holding his knees as he coughed uncontrollably. Neither of us said a word because we were too busy struggling with our breaths. But I was also too busy trying to find the wolf. I couldn’t see anything. Even with my night vision, this felt darker th
LIONEL They would only find their casualties and of course, they should be wiser next time. I heard them from inside and then they were out in the dark again, by the shores of the beach with their guns poised as they scouted the dark, searching for something that may point towards me. Then they started advancing towards the forest, splitting up. The next instinct in my mind now was to play their game, of course. All I needed to do was follow them into the forest—my domain and territory—and there I would kill them one after the other. But then I remembered the casualties in my room. Not only were two men dead—two men whose colleagues had taken their bodies out just before me and most definitely cleared out the evidence of them ever being there. There were also the two ladies I was just having a good time with lying death in my room, both shot in the head. Why was it that anytime I decided to have a little bi
LIONEL What harm could be in a little moment of sex, just a little time to enjoy myself and forgetting the shit of a wife I married? That was what I was experiencing now. I was Lionel Williams. I had my way with whatever I wanted. Imagine having two girls go head over heels to have this moment with me, and yet, there was a wife I had who dared to leave me sight and go out fucking another man. Fuck you, Regina! The good thing is there was something to put all that anger on now. As I cursed at Regina, I squeezed Lydia’s boobs and spanked Jemma’s butts. Both women were already sliding out of their dresses, both stark naked as they moaned and panted, struggling for who could kiss me first. I was still in my clothes even though Lydia’s hand slipped underneath my shirt and rubbed my breasts till it hardened. Jemma was faster. She instantly slid her palm over the bulge of my pants, struggling to grab my crotch as
