REGINA It was as obvious as it could ever get. There was something wrong with me and at that moment, I thought I could see my own death coming for me. Ruby, what is going on? Ruby was not responding, and I was choking slowly. “Help…” I tried to yell but my voice was only a groan of pain. “Help.” I was not loud enough so definitely, my father was within the room, completely unaware that his daughter was about to die. If this was death, then I was ready. Though painful, though hurting, it was better for me than having to live a life with an alpha that would tear my heart apart. It was better the pain came once and left me for good. Slowly, I began to feel the life slip out of my body as my eyes came shut, but just almost immediately, I could hear the familiar voice of Gwen. “Gina?” I wanted to reply. I wanted to say something, but I only sighed instead, and that should have been my last breath as I opened my eyes and found myself in a whole new world. I gasped as I rose
LIONEL I was hungry, extremely hungry for fresh meat, and not one that had been cut up and served on a plate, but one I had gotten out here in the wild. The thing is I was too hungry to pay attention to my senses. Perhaps, I could have traced the smell of blood to that of a wolf. I could have also listened to Lucius instincts drawing me off. It was when I had pounced on her that her screams erupted into the air. “Gwen!” I heard a familiar voice cry and instantly I pulled away, shifting into my human form. Ryker came to my side just then and instantly understood what just happened. I had attacked another person. “Oh goodness!” Ryker cried as he instantly ran to her. “She’s injured!” Ryker cried. I already knew that. I had pounced so hard that my claw had grabbed her side. She was just lucky my jaws had not gone round her neck. The other lady stood now and ran to me in fierce ange
REGINAI 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.
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
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
