REGINA
From the mere look of things, my career was over before it even began. I mean, once again, I had made a move towards pursuing my dreams and another man has proved stupid. As I sat alone in my room days after my encounter with Damian of Eric Circle, I thought perhaps I needed to see Gwen again to discuss with her.Gwen dropped by as soon as I called her and even after I was done narrating what I thought about my life currently, she wasn’t sure of the next move to make.“I don’t know, Gina… After the danger that crazy guy put you in, I just can’t imagine you moving into another death trap while chasing your dreams.” Gwen said tiredly.“But I just can’t stay and do nothing, right? We all take risks one way or the other.”“This might be too dangerous.” She replied. “But yeah, you’re right. I have an idea, though. How about we reach Frankenstein again and you know, hear from him?”“Just hear from him?”“More like giveREGINAFrankenstein must be a life saver that had been sent to me by the goddess herself. I was really nervous about having to go see Sir Lucky of this Goldie Pack of a thing, but I just had to remind myself that it was only the post-traumatic stress disorder from what Damian had done.We greeted Frankenstein goodbye, sending our condolences as well for the loss.Frankenstein had only shrugged in reply. “Damian and I got nothing together, just business. It’s alright.”I really also wanted to know how it was going at Sun Entertainment now that Lionel had me packing but didn’t bother to ask anyway. It was good luck to them. Nothing concerned me with Sun Entertainment anymore. As I and Gwen made our back to the house, there was so much to talk about. “Damian is dead?” Gwen screamed again for the fifth time in disbelief. “Damn! This is straight up karma for what that piece of shit did to you!” I sighed. “Yeah, he was an a
LIONEL Well, it was not like I had not seen someone die right in front of me. That didn’t make me the devil, though. I had seen several people die did not mean I had been the person who killed them. In fact, I had killed no one and that included Damian.Damian only fell to his death.As I rose the next day, I was ready to resume my normal business like nothing happened, because, of course, nothing happened. It was none of my business. Still, I wanted to know what was being said about Eric Circle. Thanks to someone like Ryker, there was no way such news was going to pass me by.Grandpa was in the kitchen preparing some eggs and bacon when Ryker approached him.“Grandpa, have you seen the news?” I heard him say.“What’s up?”“It’s crazy. It’s the Eric Circle Pack. Damn! They lost Damian. They lost their alpha.”Boom! Here we go. I sipped from a cup of coffee as I placed my ears on their voice vibration,
LIONELI 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 go
LIONELShit! 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 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
REGINA After a good while, all we found was nothing but large mountains, a couple of trees sticking out around cooler areas and endless piles of dusty stones. “We can’t be sure we’re making any headway.” Ray stated now beneath one of the shades we found with trees around. “Neither can we be sure we’re safe, right?” I mentioned. Ray gave me an inquisitive glance. “You feel it could be dangerous finding the Mountain Men?” I shrugged. “Well, we can’t exactly tell what is going on yet, can we?” “So what is your plan B? What would happen if we found these Mountain Men and we couldn’t seem to find our way back?” “Lionel would definitely come to look for us.” I replied. Ray seemed panicked. “Look, I need us to get this straight. You said Lionel would not be here to find us.” “Yes, that’s if, of course, I make it back in a day plus and not more than that
REGINA “Such is life. I need help here, Ray, and from your knowledge, only you can help me in this desperate time.” I convinced him further. He nodded now, apparently more energized and ready for the trip. “Alright, are we going to walk there or take a vehicle?” “I don’t want us drawing attention. It’s a tourist center so eyes could be on us. I think we should walk the way.” Ray made a face but shrugged nevertheless. “Alright, we move then.” He replied. I headed for the door slowly and hesitated when I felt his arm on my shoulder. “Regina, are you sure about this?” He asked. I smiled. “Believe me, no sane person wants to embark on this journey. If it wasn’t that important, I wouldn’t be doing this.” He nodded. “Then let’s do what had to be done.’ I left the room, happy to have met someone as helpful and supportive as Ray. As we made our way out of the room, I locke
REGINA “Don’t worry, Ray. There’s nothing you should worry about.” “Regina, your husband was a werewolf and you didn’t even, at least, warn me that he was something of such, not to talk about even telling me about this. In all, I should have just stayed away from you!” “To hell with that, Ray!” I shot back. “Whatever Lionel is cannot stop me from living my life the way I want!” He shook his head. “Regina… Regina… You’re not listening. Your so-called husband could have killed me. That easy, Regina!” “He wouldn’t hurt you. He could threaten you but he wouldn’t hurt you.” “What is wrong with you? I mean, you sound so sure of something so abnormal.” I shrugged. “What can I say? He’s my husband.” Ray suddenly paused and I could see a new curiosity on his face. It was like he had read another new discovery in my words. “Regina… if you could marry the werewolf. Are you al
REGINA I was alive, I was safe, and I was just wondering whether Lionel was even thinking about me. It began with the night of the accident when the car had slid down the hill and Lionel had come just in time to rescue me. That same night, I had struck a new deal with him and saved myself from having to be blackmailed each time I set my eyes upon him—I was not going to bother Grandpa with news of the accident and he was not going to ever bring it up as me being indebted to him. It had gone perfectly well with him in his room, and at this point, all I wanted to do was return to my room and allow myself to fall deeply asleep. It was just after I had a shower that I got a knock. The first idea I had was that Lionel was back again with something to rule out my little threat against him. On the contrary, it was my good new friend. It was Ray. “Hey, Ray.” I made to shake him as I extended my hand to him. He shrugg
LIONEL The suspense was killing me. I couldn’t get my mind wrapped around what Regina could have been doing to not be present in neither the hotel nor the bus. Had she gone back? No, she hadn’t. If she had, at least the girls would have seen her. They sounded honest enough. They had not set eyes on neither the woman nor Ray. Ray! The name sent pangs of anger firing through my head. What had they both been up to? Now, this was beginning to look scary. After all, she just met the guy. What if Ray had done something terrible to Regina? What if Ray had... You need to remain calm. I heard Lucius instruct from within me. Regina could be in trouble. I replied within my thoughts. No, Lionel. Look at it more clearly. After all, Regina never loved you, and she knew very well that you didn’t love her. This could just be her plot to make you panic. Lucius re
LIONEL I joined the bus as I met the driver. “Hey, good morning.” The driver greeted me in the most absurdly friendly manner ever. “Good morning,” I replied. “Looks like you’d be joining us today.” He mentioned. I got into the bus now and took my usual position at the back. There were new faces of tourists in the new bus. In fact, I recognized none. And Regina was not present. Neither was Ray. Where the fuck were they? “Yes, I’d be joining you.” I replied. “That means your wife’s all good?” I scanned again for Regina. She truly wasn’t in the goddamned bus. “Yeah.” I replied. “Wait, she’s not here yet. I assume she’s yet to come.” “I guess she’s joined another rider.” “Another rider?” “Yeah, there was a bus that came earlier for tourists that wanted to start their journey much earlier today.” He repl
