Seated in an empty classroom, Annabelle stared outside the window as she watched some students playing around when she suddenly heard the creaking sound of the door. With the thought that it was Emily's friends, she remained seated where she was without turning back, when all of a sudden, she felt as though cold water had been poured on her as her hair and uniform got drenched and waters were now running down her hair. Turning behind her within a swift movement, she was startled to see the girl she had met the other day when she was in search of her locker. Staring at her now drenched uniform, she turned her gaze to the girl without saying a word as she was still in shock while the cold water kept dripping down her wet uniform.And when she was about to walk out of the empty classroom, she got pulled back with a great force which made her lose her balance. She would have beaten her to pulp if not for the pains she felt from the markings, it was intensifying."Where do you think yo
Blinking her eyes open, she stared at the white ceiling while groaning. The beeping sound of the electrocardiographic heart monitor made her groan while her eyelids felt too heavy to be left open, and the sun rays which were peeking into the room worsened the situation. Remembering what had happened before she passed out, she sat up abruptly. "Ouch…" she grunts as she feels a throbbing headache deep within her head. She was about climbing down the bed, but the voices of people she heard behind the door made her lie motionless as she pretended to be asleep. "She lost a lot of blood from the fight she got engaged in, but we are so fortunate that you arrived quickly before she could have been hit by the truck." "And the markings, your absence has started making it have negative effects on her. So you need to be by her side always in order for her not to feel the pain excessively and make her get used to staying by your side. " "I've heard you, Sam," Alpha Alvin replied. "Then I'l
The sobs of Annabelle could be heard in the room. She cried weakly as she was tired of struggling. "Alvin let me be, leave me alone, I won't pull it out anymore," she had given up on trying to get off his grip by herself. "Just leave me," she said and he left knowing that she wouldn't pull it off as she had said. "Alvin take me home," she said with her head bent as she stared at her bed sheet. "Say something Alvin, I need to go home!" she yelled at him. "I can't, Annabelle, I just can't.""What do you mean by you can't? You brought me here Alvin!" She yelled as she threw her cushion at him."That's why I hate you," she said as she continued throwing anything her hands held at him. Pulling out the syringe from her wrist, she jumped down the bed and was about to run out of the room but was held by him."Alvin let me go, I said let me go!" she yelled as she continued crying. "You took me from my home and brought me here, claiming that my home wasn't safe and my life was under th
Turning to see the Alpha and doctor staring at them with raised eyebrows, they froze to the floor and stood like manikins. With a shake of his head, Alpha Alvin walked away while the doctor still continued staring at them. "You both should get a room," he said before adjusting his glasses and walking away, leaving the couples embarrassed. "What do you think Emily, should we get a room?" Lucas whispered in her ears with a smirk. "Jeez! Lucas, you are a pervert. I'm even more embarrassed now," she complained before walking away. *"Ugh....." Annabelle groaned as she stirred in her sleep. "Ahhhh," she continued groaning as a pained expression was worn on her face while tear drops escaped her eyes. "Mhm," she answered sleepily as she squinted her eyes."Annabelle," Alpha Alvin called again.He had been awake all through the night keeping watch on her."Ahhh!" she cried louder as she held her stomach that had been scratched by the strange girl's claws."Alvin?" she called when she
Blinking her eyes open, she got hypnotised by his exposed broad muscine chest. His six packs were all revealed and she couldn't help but stare drowsily. His long gold hair wasn't a mess like her's, as It was as though he wasn't sleeping because his hair was still properly arranged. But she didn't expect to be pulled back to his chest while his eyes remained closed.She tried rolling away but he held her in place."Alvin," She called as she stared at his face. She couldn't decipher if he was really sleeping or awake. "Make yourself feel comfortable Annabelle, because I have no plans on letting you go," he said as he released his grip a little for her to be able to feel comfortable on him."Seriously Alvin, don't you have pack duties to do?""Annabelle, will you stay properly with me or you'll continue talking?""So you won't let me go?" She asked with a pout. "Time up," he said and was about tightening his grip on her but she stopped him. "Okay, but could you please wear
Watching silently as the men walked towards her while she tried cutting the chains to escape, they held her shorts and were about to pull it off but were stopped by the Alpha as he raised his hands into the air swiftly. "Before we go to that extent, how about we use one stone to kill two birds," he said as he walked towards the chest and picked out an arrow and a bow before walking back to the already quivering Annabelle. "Annabelle come and stand before me," he said, which made her heart skip in fear as though they were going to protrude out of her chest. "M...e?" she stuttered as she asked to be sure, and when he nodded, she looked around before walking with shaking legs towards him. Standing before him, he smiled lightly at her which no one else saw apart from her as he walked behind her. "Hold the bow," he told her as he fixed the arrow."Our target would be her right knee," he told her as he held her hands to the bow while her heart continued beating hard as she felt like bl
Glaring at him, she muttered some inaudible things that he couldn't hear because she only moved her lips as though she said something. "And I told you that it was an insult. I'm seventeen so stop telling me such things," she complained."You are seventeen, so say it," he dared her."I shot an arrow at his.... Alvin I can't say that," she said with a pout. "Say it," he said as he stared at her seriously which made it obvious to her that he wasn't joking. "I'll say it tomorrow," she said as she walked away from the window and was walking to the door but he pulled her back. "Annabelle, are you normal, didn't you learn biology?" he asked her frustratingly. "I didn't," she replied gently because he wasn't pleased. "But you studied zoology?" he asked with raised eyebrows. "Alvin let me go. I said I'll say it tomorrow," she said as she tried pulling her hand off his grip, but it was impossible. "Why do you think I'll let you go?" he said which made her scared as she moved backwards bu
Fluttering her eyes open, she stared around in search of Alvin, but he was nowhere to be found. She had even gone to the bathroom but he also wasn't there.When she had asked the guards, they had told her that he went for an urgent meeting. Not having what to do, she decided to join the maids in the kitchen. Walking down the stairs, she headed into the kitchen and heard the maids discussing as though their discussion was very important. She greeted them as she walked towards the kitchen counter which startled them, and they immediately started apologising for not noticing her presence."It's okay," she told them as she walked round the kitchen and inspected it. The other time that she had claimed to cook with the maids, she didn't. How could she cook when all she wanted was an escape. "Can we do something important?" she smiled at the maids who were eager to do whatever she told them. "Let's bake a cake!" she yelled happily with the maids. "I'll just assist because I don't kn
As the priest awaited Lilith's response, she hesitated for a moment, her mind caught in a whirlwind of uncertainty. She had meant her previous words as a question, a plea for clarification. But the priest, oblivious to her intended meaning, assumed she had responded affirmatively and proceeded with the wedding ceremony.Lilith's heart sank as the realisation dawned upon her. She glanced around, searching for any sign of understanding in the eyes of those present.It was then that she locked eyes with Alpha Chul, her partner in this complicated journey. He was the only one who caught on to her confusion, his perceptive gaze seeing beyond the surface.A sly smirk slowly graced Chul's lips, understanding passing between them. He knew what Lilith had intended to convey, and he relished in the amusing turn of events. It was a fleeting moment of shared humour amidst the seriousness of the occasion.As the ceremony continued, Lilith couldn't help but feel a mix of frustration and amusement.
As his canines grew long and sharp, Chul bit into the in-between of Lilith's neck and shoulder, causing her to wince in pain and cry out. He licked away the blood from the bite mark before tenderly placing soothing kisses on her, trying to comfort her as she cried against his shoulder. However, she suddenly pulled away from him, pushing him away forcefully."I fucking hate you," she cried, her hands covering the bitten area as she continued to feel the pain."I'm sorry. Let me help you soothe the pain," Chul offered, genuinely concerned for her well-being. However, Lilith immediately stopped him from approaching her."I don't need your help," she said, her voice filled with anger and hurt. She tried to retrieve her rolling travel box from him, but as her hand brushed against his, she quickly pulled back, feeling a rush of spark between them."What's wrong with your hands?" she asked, her gaze fixated on his, her tone a mix of curiosity and confusion. She managed to snatch her box aw
Xavier could now see the similarities that he never saw in Lilith before. She looked more matured, and he noticed a certain beauty about her that seemed to be a combination of her own and someone else's. As he watched her, she placed the brush on the counter and ran her hands across its surface with a sad expression on her face. She then turned away from the mirror, picked up her rollable traveling box, and began walking out of the room.From the reflection in her mirror, Lilith had caught sight of Chul seated in her room, but she pretended as though she didn't see him. She avoided his piercing gaze and hurriedly moved toward the door. However, before she could open it and escape, he stopped her by placing his hands on hers, which were on the doorknob. This action made her freeze, her shoulders tensing up.Slowly, Xavier removed her hands from the doorknob and took her rolling bags from her. He gently made her turn toward him, but she kept her gaze fixed on the floor, avoiding his ey
Alpha Chul kept staring blurrily at Lilith's already dilated pupils."But your eyes... they are in shades of golden colors. Or are my eyes deceiving me because I'm about to die?" he asked weakly, his voice barely audible. His gaze remained fixed on her eyes, though they appeared blurry to him.Lilith's heart ached as she heard his feeble words. She knew time was running out, and the urgency in his voice only intensified her fear. "You need to leave, Lilith. I've mind linked the warriors, and they will come for you," he urged, his gaze locked on her dilated pupils. Slowly, his eyelids closed, sealing his vision in darkness.Tears welled up in Lilith's eyes as she cried out, "Alvin, please don't leave me!" Determined not to let him go without a fight, she hastily removed his shirt, tossing it aside, as if shedding the weight of their impending doom.As her gaze fell upon his bare torso, a gasp escaped her lips. It was a sight that tore at her soul—his flesh marred by numerous bullet wo
The war raged on with a ferocity that filled the air with the sounds of battle. Explosions and the clash of weapons reverberated through the night, creating an atmosphere fraught with danger. Lilith, seated in the car, watched as chaos unfolded around her. Fear gripped her heart, rendering her immobile. The sight of the violent conflict unfolding before her eyes overwhelmed her with a sense of terror.However, a surge of determination coursed through Lilith's veins as she recalled her promise to protect Alpha Chul. Summoning every ounce of courage within her, she took a deep breath and mustered the strength to step out of the car. Her bow and quiver of arrows hung securely behind her, ready to be unleashed.Stepping onto the battlefield, Lilith felt her heartbeat pounding in her ears, the adrenaline coursing through her veins. She found a strategic position, ensuring she had a clear line of sight. Taking a moment to steady her trembling hands, she focused on her task at hand.As she
Alpha Alvin walked into the gym room where the warriors were preparing for the war."If you're going to war, Lilith, you need to know how to defend yourself because I'll be at the battlefront and I can't take you there with me," Alpha Chul stated, his voice filled with concern as he walked around her. They stood in the spacious gym room where the warriors were preparing for the upcoming battle.Lilith shrugged, a hint of determination in her eyes. "I can defend myself, don't worry."He arched an eyebrow. "And how do you plan to defend yourself?""I can shoot arrows. I saw it in her memory, and I have a strong feeling that I can do it," she replied confidently.Alpha Chul motioned for one of the warriors to bring him a bow and arrow. The warrior promptly fetched the requested items and handed them to him."Alright, Lilith. See that target over there? If you can propel the arrow and hit the bullseye, then you can come with us," he explained, placing the arrows in her hands before steppi
Alpha Chul crouched to the floor as he felt a sudden pain in his heart, as though an important element in his life was about to leave."Annabelle, please don't leave me. Lilith, come and hug me now. Annabelle is about to go away from my heart... go away from there so you wouldn't get pulled in," Chul pleaded, his voice filled with desperation. He saw tears streaming down Lilith's face, and his instinct was to run to her, but in her attempt to reach him, her footing slipped on the edge of the cliff, causing her to fall backward.A surge of panic filled Lilith as she plummeted, but she managed to grab hold of a stone jutting out from the cliff's edge. Hanging on for dear life, she heard Chul's voice calling out her name as he peered down the cliff."I can't hold on for too long. I have no idea why I want to live now," she yelled, her voice trembling with fear."Take my hand," Chul offered, extending his hand toward her. As soon as she grasped his hand, a flood of memories rushed throug
Lilith woke from her sleep, her eyes fluttering open. She felt a lingering sensation, a memory that seemed vivid yet out of place. Her heart raced with confusion as she glanced around her room, realizing that she was alone."Was that my memory?" she pondered silently, her voice laced with uncertainty. The image of Alpha Chul, her mate, laying on her with her long hair caressing his face, had been so clear. But now, in the emptiness of her room, it could only mean that it had been a dream.Tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice cracked with a broken heart. "Was it all just a dream?" she murmured, her disappointment washing over her. The memory had felt so real, so intimate, and now it was ripped away from her.Frustration surged through her, overwhelming her senses. She yelled in anguish, throwing her cushion aside and succumbing to a torrent of tears. The weight of confusion and longing pressed upon her, intensifying the pain she felt.As she rose from her bed, voices began to ech
Immediately gripping the doorknob, Lilith forcefully swung the door open and rushed out of the room in a state of panic. However, her frantic escape came to an abrupt halt as she sensed the presence of the ghostly figures standing before her. Panic washed over her, and before she could gather her thoughts, she instinctively turned away, only to sense another presence behind her. Overwhelmed by fear and unable to think clearly, she dashed towards the nearest door she saw, desperately locking it behind her.Meanwhile, Alpha Chul sat in his room, drowning his sorrows in liquor while memories of his past with his deceased mate consumed his thoughts. After witnessing Lilith's terrified reaction in the woods, he became convinced that she had encountered a ghost. Observing her flee from the woods, he detected the presence of a rogue wolf nearby, prompting him to unsheathe his sword with difficulty. Determined to protect Lilith, he vanished into the depths of the dark woods, pursuing the t
