REGINA

I still had so many questions and the only person that could provide answers to them lay quietly unconscious. Leonard had made a syrup from Shadow Bane leaves and applied it to the wounds while I watched her with the night getting darker out there.

When he was done with the treatment, he left quickly, and I was alone with my friend again.

“Oh, Gwen… Please recover quickly.” I whispered quietly. I desperately needed answers. One minute, I was in my father’s house and the other, I was out in the woods, much past my father’s boundaries. Something must have gone wrong.

Ryker came in just then, cutting my thoughts short. I watched him nervously, but he only offered me a warm smile that made me understand he meant no harm. After all, it was all thanks to his strength that Gwen was receiving treatment presently, after the ruthless alpha had wounded her so badly and couldn’t care less.

“Have you had anything to eat?” He asked nicely.

    LIONELFor some reason, it was difficult to simply fall asleep. I had to pretend everything was fine. This was a night like every other night so why couldn’t I just fall asleep? Then I remembered. This night was not like every other night, not when I had Regina Donovan and her busybody friend somewhere in my study.I had to come to terms with reality – their presence was awkwardly intruding my sleep. Was it because every now and then, I could perceive their scent from within the house?I was so annoyed that I rose from bed now and took out a special spray which was normally used to mask the scent of creatures and sprayed it around my room. I then returned to sleep, but again, the sleep wouldn’t come. Now totally frustrated with trying, I rose from the bed and made my way to the sitting room to pour myself a drink. I met Ryker in the kitchen pouring a cup of coffee and immediately knew what it was for.“Nice job being a waiter.” I mention

    REGINA“I don’t understand, Gwen. What did you mean by I had taken off?”“The thing is after you dropped me off at my apartment, I came up with the idea that perhaps we needed to take some time off. You know, attend a party or something. As soon as I got to your house, you were lying unconscious against the couch. It was when I nudged you to wake you up that you awoke but then, you shifted into your wolf form and growled away, almost like you were angry at something…”Oh, Ruby… I thought sadly. Ruby must have wanted some time to take off into the wild, to be alone, some time to heal. I instantly remembered what Ruby had told me and thought about telling Gwen but decided to give it a little time. Gwen needed to know indeed, but perhaps not now. I needed her to heal completely.“And when I took off?”“I chased after you. You kept running into the wild, past the boundaries of the pack and down into the forest. You were totally out of control

    REGINAThere wasn’t anything really special about Eric Circle, or maybe it was because I had experienced Sun Entertainment. As soon as I entered the building, I was met by a receptionist.“How may I help you?” She asked.“I would like to see Sir Damian. I was referred here by someone known as Frankenstein.” I replied.“Well, Sir Damian is currently busy conducting a private audition with some of the girls. How about…”“Oh, I am one of such girls who is here for an audition as well.” I immediately cut in.The receptionist led me towards his office. Indeed, there was a queue of some of the women going in one after the other. “You just need to wait in the queue.” She instructed.I extended my gratitude and took a seat. The other girls were fervently practicing, making me feel like I should be getting my hands on something, except there wasn’t exactly anything I had in mind. I believed in what I was capable of and

    REGINA“Nobody has said no to me before, Gina girl.” He laughed evilly, enjoying the fact that he could keep me in his grip.“Well, you’ve not met me.” I was getting much angrier. “As you’re standing before me, you’re totally disgusting to me, and I wish I could open my eyes and watch you disappear.” I gave back the entire truth of my thoughts without hesitation and instantly, I pulled my hand from his grip and turned away.The last thing I expected was that he’d pull me back again and this time, more harshly than before. I growled in shock and anger, not particularly afraid of him, but filled with disgust and repulsion as he tried to force his lips on mine.“Let me go!” I screamed.“Don’t bother yelling, Regina. No one is going to hear you.”Shit! The office was soundproofed. All those women would be out there thinking a successful interview was going on while this bastard was trying to force himself on me. “Stay away!

    REGINA I could hear her whistle as she approached me again with the rope. I didn’t want to open my eyes, trying to lie as still as possible for the right moment, like a wolf about to leap on its prey. Her whistle made it even easier to use my sound senses and track her movement around me. She had leaned down now and shifted me slightly to hold my hands and then she slowly began to place the rope around my arm. It was time! With the speed of light and desperation to leave this company before the Sunbeam poison completely kicked in, I pushed her head in a deadly slam against the wall. She fell still instantly. “Great! Let’s leave this goddess forsaken place, Ruby.” I rose to my feet, clutching my neck as I staggered through the passageways, listening for the echoes of the men’s feet. Soon, I found an exit and just as I slipped out into the light, I could hear the men running towards me, but I knew they were not going to make it, not when a cab had stopped right before me.

    LIONEL It was not easy to clear my head in the house, not with all the people from different packs trooping into the house to see my grandpa and greet me in anticipation of the coming marriage ceremony. With each day, it was getting realer. Some of the women already came in with decoration items and grandpa had hired some men to handle some carpentry, all for the goddamned wedding! “You know all these aren’t necessary, grandpa.” I whispered to him as I approached him in the large hall just before the study in the mansion where he was busy giving orders to some men installing new chandeliers to the ceiling. “How about you just smile and stop acting like you would shift into a wolf and tear one of them to a million pieces?” grandpa replied as casually and calmly as ever. He wasn’t even moved by everything I was trying to say. I was getting bored with all the activities disturbing my peace within the house and thought it was best to move out with Ryker to ease off, except… Where th

    LIONEL“What are you trying to say?” I couldn’t wrap my mind around the words. I was even yet to realize just how much interest I was putting into the affair of Regina Donovan, but I had set something up and I needed feedback.Coincidentally, Ryker was going to do just that – give me the information I needed.“I and Gwen were together when Regina called and told us to track her phone before she passed out.”“Passed out?”“Yeah!” Ryker continued. “We found her lying on a roadside bench unconscious just as someone had raised an alarm and wanted to have her sent to a hospital. We took over from there and rushed her to her home instead. Her father – Alpha Donovan took over from there and treated her with concoction he prepared. She had been poisoned with a Sunbeam needle.”That was strange. Sunbeam needles were not the kind of plants that anyone would see lying around. In most cases, they were cultivated in overseas countries and wer

    LIONEL“HEY! ARE ANY OF THE BABES OUT THERE? GET THE GODDAMNED MUSIC ON!”The fool was yet to even understand what was about to happen. I watched him as he waited but the only response that he got was silence. Then he grumbled again about the music and slowly relaxed back into the water. He didn’t even get my scent. There was so much foam, so much booze and of course, he was just too stupid.Then I made my own move.I held him by the hair and dipped his head into the water before he knew it. I could feel him in my hands as he gargled and spun, struggling for life beneath the water, unable to breathe. His hand held mine, his claws sticking out as his wolf spirit began to take over, struggling to tear free from my grasp but his scratches and piercing were only pinches to me.But the plan was not to kill him. No way… There was no way I’d just let him die without knowing who was there to torment him. Moreover, even though it wouldn’t be track

    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

  • Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel     In the Darkness

    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
