Seated in the dining hall all alone with heaps of numerous meals round the table, with a sigh she continued glaring at her meal.
She had been on drips for two days after she had fainted in the room while staring at the mirror.
She wondered if she was really abducted because it doesn't look that way.
It looked as though she was a princess or something as she wasn't treated like a captive.
Getting up from her chair, she checked if anyone was around, and when she confirmed that no one was around, not even the guards, she sneaked back into her room.
Switching on the lights to her room, she screamed when she saw a figure seated on the bed as she sprinted out of the room as though she had just seen a ghost.
Seeing a maid in the hallway, she quickly ran to her and began asking questions.
"Please….. excuse me, you know me right?" she asked in a panicked state.
"Yes Luna," the maid said with a subtle bow.
"Good, so am I in any way sharing my room with anyone?"
"Actually the room you are in is the Alpha's room," the maid said with another bow.
"An Alpha?" she asked with raised Eyebrows.
"I'm sorry Luna, but I can't provide you with any more information," the maid said before bowing and walking away.
With a sigh, she walked back into the dinning hall and sat there as she continued glaring at the delicacies in front of her before snoozing off.
*
Feeling little sparks on her forehead, she attempted massaging the spot where she had felt the sparks, but rather her hand brushed against that of someone else which made her feel as though she had just been electrocuted by electric sparks.
Flinching out of her seat, her eyes met with those of the strange guy.
"You…." she said with wide eyes as she glared at him.
"What the fuck is wrong with your hands?" she yelled at him as she held her right hand that she had used in touching his hand.
Still holding her hands, she sat down on the chair opposite him as she scowled at him."
Not minding the chills that were running down her spine, she still tried making herself feel comfortable.
Keeping her face as emotionless as his were, she continued scowling at him.
"Eat!" he said, making her get startled as she wasn't expecting him to talk.
"So you can talk, huh?" she asked as she held her chest but didn't receive any reply.
"So, when will I be going home? because it doesn't look as though I was abducted," she said before tasting her food.
Staring at the plate of food that nearly looks as though it hasn't been touched, he was about to say something but the ringing of his phone distracted him.
"Continue eating," he said before responding to his calls.
"I have lost my appetite," she attempted speaking before he began communicating with his phone.
"I'll be on my way," she heard him say before ending his call.
"You haven't answered my question," she said as she clenched her hands into a tight fist under the table.
"You are already home, Annabelle, '' he said before standing up and vacating the dining hall.
"There's no way this is my home," she said and also stood up.
"This isn't my home, you took me away from my home," she said as she tried keeping up his pace.
"This is your new home now, Annabelle" he said as he walked out of the dinning hall with her following behind him.
"Stop speaking as though you own me, I am not your possession so you have no right to choose where I'll stay," she said as she wondered why he would be so bossy.
"If you were not my property, do you think you would have been here? I own you Annabelle and that's why I'm trying to be nice to you."
"That is a falsehood, I am owned by no one, not even my dad. And besides, you are the opposite of nice!" she retorted with an eye roll.
"Go to your room now!" he spoke coldly when he stopped walking.
"But let me go, I'm not your property, you don't know me," she said pleadingly.
"I'm sorry Annabelle, but I can't let you go," He said as he turned away from her.
"Why, why can't you let me go?"
"It's dangerous, letting you go means putting your life at stake."
"But I was safe before you kidnapped me, it's my life, and I don't like it here," she yelled as she clenched her hands behind her.
"You weren't safe Annabelle, your life was under the mercies of werewolves in that crap you call your home. You also knew that you weren't safe. That's why you frequently quarrel with your dad about his choice of house and always glares at it as though if it were a human you would have it. And here you are talking as though you loved your home," he said with a scoff.
"You were spying on me, weren't you?" she asked with wide eyes.
"Just trying to ensure your safety," he said with a shrug.
"I knew it, I knew I was being watched by someone, and that someone was you, I'll definitely report you to the cops when I get out of here," she threatened but paused.
"You said I was under the mercies of werewolves, what does that mean?" she asked with squinted eyes.
"It means your home is not safe," he replied as he rested on the pillar in the dining hall.
"No, I mean the werewolves, they don't exist," she said with a shake of her head.
"Who said they don't exist?" he asked as he stared at her confused face with a bored expression on his face.
"I study animals, I'm a zoologist. And we haven't found anything as werewolves, it's only wolves," she said as she folded her hands over her shoulders.
"If you haven't found one doesn't mean that they don't exist," he said as he stared at her in surprise.
"Werewolves don't exist and that's final," she said as though she was tutoring him.
"What do you even know about werewolves?" he asked as he felt sorry for her ignorant self.
"They are mythical creatures, an animal and human combined together," she said with all pride.
"So if I say I'm a werewolf would you believe me?" he asked as he waited for her reaction.
"I won't," she said simply.
"Why wouldn't you?"
"Because you are a human, but not totally a human as you behave as though you are mentally ill," she said as she stared at him as though she was studying his appearance as she enjoyed throwing tantrums at him.
"What if I'm not?" He asked, not minding how rude she could be.
"You aren't a combination of a human and animal," she said as she studied him which made him laugh at her ignorance.
"How do you think the shape of a werewolf is?" he asked to find out if she really knew things about werewolves.
"I don't know much, but in the book that a maid brought to me I read that they were a combination of a human and animal, so I think their head is that of an animal, their body is that of a human, while their hands and legs are a combination of an animal and human."
She spoke as though she was in thoughts while he only stared at her with a frown plastered on his face.
"What, I only made a guess," she said and eyed him when she saw him frowning at her.
"You guess so badly, I bet your nerves would be totally frayed when you come In contact with such a beast you've created with your imagination," he said with a scoff.
"My imagination created it so that it will come for you and you'll be like a scary cat," she said with a chuckle.
"And besides, since you said my home isn't safe, would you mind my dad coming over too, because I don't want my imaginary werewolves to visit him."
"Is that what you want? " he asked and she nodded.
He could only stare at her in amazement.
"It's very much easy, just Kidnap him like how you did to me," she said as her mood changed before angrily walking away.

After eating dinner, she headed to her room and laid on her bed with her eyes open as she waited patiently for 12:00 clock midnight.
Immediately it was 11:59, She climbed down the bed and walked towards her closet, took out her clothing which she had tied jointly in order to use them as rope and walked towards the window.
After checking if the area was clear, she tied the clothes to the frame of the window and threw the rest out of the window.
Mounting the window frame, she held the cloth rope and hastily climbed down the walls as she ran into the woods, when all of a sudden she heard a growl.
Running in the dark woods with the only source of light being the lightning of thunder as they rumbled, the sounds of owls hooting could be heard, and the stamping of Annabelle's bare feet on the muddy ground leaving prints behind. The sound of a growl from a distance made her nearly stumbled over tree roots laying horizontally on the floor.Peeking behind her to see what had growled, she got dumbstruck at the sight of a masculine but treacherous looking wolf.Not being sure if she was chased by the wolf, she decided to take another direction since the animal wasn't close to her, as it could be that it was chasing its prey and she really didn't want to get involved. After taking another direction, she then realised that she was being chased by the wolf which made her freak out. She couldn't be running away from her kidnapper and at the same time be running away from a freaking wolf.The wolf was already close to her and she was exhausted from running because she had been running fo
Walking down the stairs, Annabelle had ignored all the greetings made by the maids to her.After being caught by the strange guy which she later found out to be the Alpha, she had been avoiding everyone.How could she be a Luna when she knows nothing about werewolves. The thoughts of living with half human and half animals always freaked her out. She still had her plans of escaping, but wouldn't she still get caught?She couldn't live with supernatural beings because she was the weakest amongst them. "Luna, Alpha demands to see you right now," one of the maids said to her. She suddenly became scared on hearing what the maid said but behaved boldly as she passed the maid as though she hadn't heard what she had said. Walking into the room, she sat on the bed as she wondered what would happen to her if she turned the Alpha's request of meeting him down. But how could he request for her presence and expect her to be there when he knows that she had been ignoring him all this while.
Trapped between the wall and Alpha Alvin, she could only stare at him. "Coming into my office wasn't a right option Annabelle, and the reason I am about marking you is because you are stubborn.""But if you mark me, it wouldn't even make me loyal to you," she said as she tried concealing her fear. "You are wrong Annabelle," he said as he bent closer to her so that he could feel her breath. "Marking you would make you loyal to me, that I can assure you," he said as he twisted strands of her hair in his palm.The ringing of his phone interrupted and he shifted away from her."You should leave now Annabelle," he said as he headed to another door in his office."Thank you so much," she said as she turned to leave. "To your room Annabell," he said before closing the door. "What!!" she asked with wide eyes as she sprinted towards the room he had gone into as she began knocking on it because it was locked.She had thought that he had permitted her to go home as he told her to leave. B
Opening his eyes, he stared at her while she kept fiddling with her fingers. "Annabelle, did you reject me?"Peeking at him through her hair that had fallen over her face, she nodded. "No you didn't," he replied, making her squint at him. "I did," she said with her eyes still squinted. "That wasn't a rejection annabelle, and besides, you can't reject an Alpha because he won't approve your request of wanting to reject him.""So are you trying to tell me that I need your permission before I can reject you?" she asked while nodding sluggishly as though she was in a deep thought.Descending from the bed slowly, she knelt before him with her head bent to the floor as she spoke. "Alpha, I have a mate that I want to reject, so can you please grant me your permission to be able to reject him," she spoke out with all seriousness as she knelt on the floor."Give me a good reason why you want to reject him?" he asked as he stared at her in amusement. "I'm sorry Alpha, but I can't tell you
She watched as the water poured on him and drenched his hair, shirt, pillow and bed but he didn't open his eyes. "Huh," she gasped in disbelief. It was so surprising seeing him still sleeping after being drenched. Moving into the bathroom, she came out with another pail of water and poured it on him, making him and the bed entirely drenched and she wasn't exempted because she had stumbled with the pail of water in the bathroom and it had spewed on her also, making her hair and shirt get drenched. "Alvin," she tried calling after pouring the second pail of water on him and he didn't budge, the thought of him kicking the bucket made her freak out because she would be killed by the entire pack. "Alvin," she called again as she placed her head on his chest to check if he was still breathing, but his already wet shirt was now clinging to his body which made his well built muscular attributes visible and she didn't feel comfortable as she suddenly had the urge to touch them. "What is
Hearing her name being called while she slept, she grumbles before answering reluctantly."Opening your eyes, sleepy head, we need to leave," a feminine voice said, making her eyes flung open as she stared at a girl with chocolate hair and emerald eyes. "Hi, my name is Emily, I'm Beta's mate," she said as she weaved at Annabelle."Hi…." Annabelle weaved back with her eyes looking dizzy."The reason I am here is to take you to the pack house, but before we leave, there are some few things you need to know about. The Pack house would be a dangerous place for you as you are a human so you always need to keep a low profile. Try avoiding trouble at all cost so that it would also avoid you, and don't ever let anyone find out that you are the luna, understood?" Emily said in a rush."Okay….?" Annabelle replied slowly."Let us go, I'll tell you the rest when we reach the pack house."* Annabell was stunned by the sight of the park house, it was as large as a community, and everywhere was a
Walking through the hallway, Emily had responded cheerfully to all the greetings she received from the students. She was the beta's mate and that was a position she had to be respected for.Walking into their class they sat together as they stared boringly at the white board and plain walls.They were early so no lectures had started and few students were loitering about. "Seriously Emily, who are you?" Anabelle asked in amazement. "I'm a werewolf," Emily said as rested on the desk. "Everyone here is a werewolf, I'm not talking about that. It's about the way you were greeted, I mean you were greeted with much more respect than other students so i don't think you are an ordinary werewolf." "I am Beta's mate, that's why," she said as she smiled lightly. "Oh, so who is the beta?" she asked as she didn't know much about werewolves. The only thing she knew was that they were some cursed creatures. "He is Lucas, my soulmate. He works with the Alpha, "she said simply. "Oh.. okay," w
Emily could only stare dumbfoundedly as Annabelle's words kept replaying continuously in her head. With a shake of her head she blinked at Annabelle. "I'm disappointed," she said as she closed her notepad and held her head. "What's the matter, are you Ill?" Annabelle asked as she stared at her."Annabelle, you are making me sick," she complained as she rested her head on her arms. "Was it because of my plans of escaping?""Exactly, Annabelle, that's it.""But what's wrong with me trying to make an escape plan," she asked as she was already getting offended. "You'll put me into trouble, my life would be in trouble if you escape and I can't let that happen," she said as she turned to the other direction knowing that Annabelle wasn't happy, but she couldn't help it. The sound of the bell made Emily stand up as she arranged her things. She was so happy that the boring class was over and it was time for fun. "Let's go," she said to Annabelle as she walked to the door. "Annabelle,"
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
