Strip me naked? That was the least I had expected to hear him say. Was he that heartless? Simply because I refused to talk to him about my friend? Why could he not respect the fact that I wanted to keep it behind me?“I have something to say” I lied. Well, I had no idea of what else to say. I had done nothing to him. I really could not understand why he was being so cruel to me. I had initially thought he did not mean any of his threat but the moment he turned to leave and Ken or whatever he was approached me, I knew I was in for it. I knew I was in trouble. A worried frown spread on my face as I looked at him me, hoping he would stay to listen to me and thankfully, he heeded.“I am all ears” He answered.“Tell him to leave” I managed to say as my heart had began to thump out of fear. What was he going to do with me when he discovered there was nothing I really wanted to say? He was quiet as he stared at me for a while before returning to his seat and asking Ken to let us be. I was n
He turned back to look at me. Although I was not sure he would listen to me, I knew I had to give it a try. I was glad when he suddenly halted. Maybe I was finally going to be free. “An important message for me? What could it be?” He questioned but I was quiet as I started at him. I could tell he was impatient to hear what I had to say. I wanted to make him anticipate the news and I was glad he was. I smiled widely as I knew I finally had the opportunity to do what I wanted. It was my turn to make him do my wishes. “Nothing comes free, you know? You have to promise to give me what I want in return for the message” I answered. “If you try to play games with me, then I would behead you and have your head sent to your Father while the vultures feast on the remaining parts of your body” I threatened. I did not want to be played. “I kid you not. You would be very glad to know this piece of information I have for you” She smiled. “Then spill”. I ordered. No. Even though I was not sur
My eyes shot open immediately and I turned around to see what had become of me. How was I going to deal with this new life? I was filled with so much hate and disgust for him even though I did not understand what was going on with me anymore. I had no idea of where I was and how I had gotten there. Nowhere seemed familiar. It was a big beautiful room with a plate of food on the table that was opposite me. It filled my nostrils immediately but I could not dare to try to eat. I had no idea who had put the food there. I was so weak and tired that I could barely get up.Just then, a maid walked in with a smile on her face. Realizing I was up, she ran back outside immediately. What was wrong with her? I was still about to ask her about where I was but I could not. Had it all been a dream or was this the dream? I pinched myself to be sure I was not dreaming and no, I was not. I placed my hand on my head as my head ached. The bed was better and so was the environment. Well, I did not c
Although I tried to return, it was too late as he had seen me. My heart raced and my whole body trembled in fear.“Why are you here? Tell me, what do you intend to do here? Are you trying to steal valuable information or perhaps, trying to escape?” I shook my head almost immediately. How could he think of that? There was possibly no way I was going to do that. Although I was not too glad with my presence there, the last thing I would definitely do was try to steal valuable information from him.“Do not make me lose my temper. Tell me right now. Why are you here?” He yelled at me. I took a deep breath as I decided to say the truth. I had no intentions to do evil though.“I was just out for a stroll and nothing else” I answered, trying to sound so confident and pretending to not be intimidated although I was. I had expected him to let me go but instead, he smirked and shook his head.“What do you think? Who do you think I am? A fool? One you can deceive?” He questioned and I shook my he
I was unsettled as lots of thoughts crossed my mind. It was a wrestle between my wolf and me. My wolf tried so hard to convince me to forgive her and let her go but I was even upset about it. How could it have asked for something like that?I stormed out of the room in anger and headed to my room instead. I wished I could tell her what her father had done but it was impossible.Being uneasy, I stepped out of the room and proceeded to Dave’s room. I was certain he would be fine but I just wanted to confirm he really was and to my expectations, he was.“Good morning, my Alpha” He smiled at me as soon as I walked in. I was glad to see him strong. He had gotten up.“Good morning. I believe you are fine now, isn’t it?” I questioned and he nodded in agreement.He was fine. I had checked frequently over time and he seemed to be better.“Can you tell me what had happened?” I questioned as I wanted to know what the problem was. “Do you remember who had attacked you?” I probed, waiting for a po
The morning sun beam peeked through the clouds and penetrated the thin curtain with which my windows had been covered, it’s golden light shining directly on my face. I groaned as I turned lazily to the other side of the bed but the morning birds were not left out as well as they carried on with their early morning ritual of chirping. Muttering some inaudible words, I stood up lazily but I was greeted by the pain from my wrist. I winced in pain as I looked at the wrist again. I had totally forgotten about it.I let out a sigh as I sat up slowly and stretched before rolling my eyes to the left and to the right again as an exercise for my eyes. I stood up immediately and proceeded to the window, opening it wide to embrace a new breath of air.Somehow, I was glad and I knew today was indeed going to be a very beautiful day. I looked at my wrist again as I wondered why it had not healed completely. Of course, it was supposed to!I let out a sigh as I headed to the bathroom and a couple of
I wanted to call on to him but I decided not to. I had no idea why he was upset. What could have possibly gone wrong with him? Was it the fact that my father had killed Salvador that had gotten him upset or the fact that he had killed anyone at all? I let out a sigh as I decided to find out. Curiosity was taking a better part of me and I was willing to take the chances.I let out a sigh and headed outside to see Xavier. I really wanted to know what had happened to him to warrant such actions. After all, I was bored, staying all day in the room. I had decided to place my mission of running away on hold as I wanted to know what Xavier was really up to and what he wanted so I stepped out of the room almost immediately.I was greeted by beautiful smiles on the maids’ face as well as that of the guards as I passed by but neither of them had an idea of where he was. I was determined to find out. Luckily, I was able to meet a maid who finally knew where he was. Although I had never been to h
“Any news?” I questioned, my ears aching to hear something positive ….. at least for the first time in so long.“I am sorry,” He let out a sigh. “We could not get anything but give me some time, we are really close to finding her.”Just like I had expected, it was something negative again. I walked out of the room and headed to Antonella’s room. There was definitely some other information that she had that could be of help. I had to ensure there was nothing else she was hiding. I placed a knock on her door but when I couldn’t hear her response for the umpteenth time, I pushed it open.She was not on her bed and it got me a bit relieved. I had begun to imagine several things but I pushed the thoughts away.“Antonella!” I called out to her but there was no response. I arched my brows as I had not expected to be answered by silence. No. she could definitely not have escaped.“Antonella!” I called again but she was quiet. Without a second thought, I ran quickly to her bathroom but she wa
ANTONELLA’S POVI thought it was all over when he appeared. Suddenly my life didn’t seem like a mess anymore. The mere glimpse of him had my heart filled with hope again and I felt home in his arms. He was it for me.We were hand in hand when he suddenly stopped and I was made to turn my head around. A supposed dead witch was behind him with a sword she had driven into him.When I rushed to him, I felt like my world was crumbling down. The walls of hope that sprouted in my heart suddenly crashed grinding itself into a fine grain. With the snap of a finger she took it away again.My mind was ringing with pain, I could feel his pain. My heart raced and I could feel an anger I was sure was not mine but his that he was projecting.I waited a while for his wounds to start to heal but nothing happened. I was so focused on him that I had zoned out from everything else going on around me. Like I didn’t have a witch who was hell bent on making a sacrifice out of me.“Don’t bother. He’s not goi
SALVADOR’S POVI spent the whole day searching for the items I needed. It became frustrating by the minute when I couldn’t find the herbs but when I was eventually able too, I pulled it out from its root without thinking too much about it.Danny was dead so I was left to do everything without him. There was no doubt that from the way I was feeling, a hole had been left deep in my heart. I should have been able to take his body with me, to give him a proper burial. I also wanted more than anything to grieve him but time was running out.I was lucky enough to have found the herbs the time that I did. Then I found my way to a safe house the guys and I used to hide in whenever we needed to take a break from a mission. The house didn’t feel like it used to. This time it was unusually colder than normal like the house too knew that Danny was gone.I set the herb and mountain ash aside and searched for my gun. This time I didn’t want to give her any room to escape or even survive. I didn’t a
ANTONELLA’S POVMy hands and feet were bound and so was my father’s. We have had to take a long walk and were brought to the Eastern Province. The land looked dead, like it had been cursed or something.The moment we crossed over into the border, I felt disconnected to my wolf which made me look at my father with questionable eyes.Freya didn’t seem to need her guards anymore since she had us both right where she wanted up – to be weak and have no means of escape whatsoever.The grass that should have been green like the ones close to it were dried to their roots and they were covered in ash. Thankfully my feet weren’t bare.Freya had my father tied a wooden pole where he would have no means to run off or even try to help me.She then walked towards with and pulled on my arm. She walked up to a place on the field that had this massive hole in it.I didn’t know why there was a hole there but I didn’t really care, I just wanted her to let us go. When we got to the edge, I stared at her
SALVADOR’S POVI was sure I looked lifeless. Two days had passed and I held on to my decision about not making Red my Luna. She could take it however she wanted but I didn’t want her in the least of ways. My love for Antonella has hit a point where it was impossible for me to want someone else even if it was just for business which I was sure this was going to be.Red didn’t bother showing up but her men did. For two days she had sent them over to ask of my decision and for two days I sent them back with the same answer refusing. I didn’t know how she planned on keeping us but I was sure I wanted to get out of the holding cell.Danny was in chains to which I was guilty for. It was her way of punishing me for refusing her by letting me watch my best friend in pain.On the third supposed day that Antonella was going to be killed, Red showed up with an angry expression. “I’m surprised that your defiance to make me your Luna doesn’t match one bit with your proclaimed love for Antonella. I
SALVADOR’S POVI hadn’t realised that I had passed out. My eyes fluttered open and I looked around where I was. Beside me was a chained Danny who seemed to be in pain. I looked at my own hands to find that I too was chained to the wall.In front of me with the most annoying smile was Red. She looked as calm as a child about to get a candy from his parent. I hated it.“Oh you’re awake” she chirped with that sickly smile of hers.I yanked at the chain and barred my teeth at her, a growl rumbling in my chest. She was startled for a second even placing a hand on her chest.“Ooh feisty, just the way I like it.” She purred almost making me gag. She pointed at me, and spoke to one of the guards standing with her. “Cut him loose.”He obeyed and did was he was told. I stayed calm as he did even though I was tempted to snap his neck and hers. I wanted to make sure that both Danny and I were lose first before doing anything but she didn’t ask for him to be cut loose.“I’m not going anywhere wit
ANTONELLA’S POVFreya was no longer in the room. She left right after my father agreed and gave her permission for the province. I didn’t know nor understand why she was hell bent on getting on that land but judging from the lengths she was going for it, her plans were no good.I had questions for my father, but my body felt too weak to move much less my mouth forming words. There were also a lot I wanted to say to him. I wanted to read him the, I told you so line just so he could remember that I had warned him about her.There were only three of us left. Myself, bleeding badly and my wounds pulsing, then my father and a guard. The other left with her to goddess knows where. Not that I cared or anything.I could feel my body healing but slower than they should. Maybe it was because I was too weak and so was my wolf.I raised my head with much difficulty and saw my father sharing a look with the guard that was in the same room as we were. It was as though they were communicating and my
SALVADOR’S POV“I’m sorry you want me to what now?” I asked unbelief etching my face. What the fuck kind of crazy was she blabbing about?“I want you to make me your Luna, Alpha King. Agree to that and I won’t just tell you about everything you want to know, I will also help you defeat the witch.” Red answered seductively.If I was any other man, I would have agreed to it since she was a very pretty woman. But the whole reason why I came to her was to save the woman I wanted to make my Luna.“Yeah, that’s not going to happen. I already have someone I want as my Luna, in fact, she’s the reason I need the information from you. You’ll have to think of something else because this isn’t going to work.”To say I was shocked was an understatement. What would make her say such a thing knowing I came here for the woman I loved?“That’s the only way I can help you though. Or don’t you want to kill the wicked witch anymore?”She had a sickly smile that I wanted to smack off her face. I glanced o
ANTONELLA’S POVI was curled on the ground with my head on my knees. My hands were still pressed against my ears trying so hard to shut the voices out. Freya was still humming, a song that she knew I hated.The room had gone back to being dark and I had nowhere to run to.“Poor little Antonella. Look at you, all pathetic now without the help of your father and friends.” Freya sang between hums. This time her voice went back to bouncing on the walls and not in my head.I felt like I could breathe a little bit even though for the most of it, I still needed more air in my lungs. I was still on the floor when I felt things, with tiny legs start to crawl on my skin. I jerked up from that position to a standing one and started to swat around my body. I didn’t know what it was, I couldn’t touch anything, couldn’t feel anything either.“Please make it stop. Please.” I begged with fresh tears streaming down my face. I was certain my face looked swollen from how much I had been crying because m
SALVADOR’S POVBefore Danny and I stood a woman dressed and accessorised in the brightest red I had ever seen. It was everywhere that it was hurtful to the eyes to see. But I couldn’t deny that she had a pretty face and a sexy body. Except for the red she had everywhere, in normal clothes she would be regarded as gorgeous. Red lips, Red Hair, Red everything.“Your King is a woman?” I asked and the man didn’t answer. The whole area became pin drop silent and every one of them bowed.“You said there were two men here to see me.” I heard her say like she didn’t notice the men on her floor.The rogue pointed at us, “These are the Alpha King and his Beta. They requested an audience with you.”He sounded nonchalant and her eyes snapped at him. “You made the fucking Alpha King knee on the ground? Are you dense?” she shrieked. He grabbed onto his neck, her claws prodding out and she looked ready to kill.I winced at how loud she was. How did she even go from being calm to crazy in a second?S
