There is true space for dreaming on this bright day, amid the frequently sweeping breeze, luminous images vanished into a white and dazzling cloud. And from the forest floor where I was lying, filtered by the fragrance of greenery above, came a light that was softened, lush, and delightfully aromatic. Nature was my sanctuary, my home. Nature kept me sane through everything. And every time something was out of place, or my heart was in distress, nature, the forest, the streams, the gardens, and the mountains called me. And my soul answered that call, and I always found myself amid the wonders of mother nature, refuelling and healing my aching heart and soul.It had been a few days since Erdem had left me at home that evening. He had tried to hide the look of fear in his eyes as he begged me not to leave the house, but I could see it. Vesna had hurried to me after he had left, and I am not sure what had happened or what she had been told or even ordered; she hadn't let me leave the hous
There were colourless shapes in that dark chamber; of course, daylight could bring brilliant magenta or darkest scarlet, but for now, it could be a scene from a black and white movie. The silhouettes were already less visible than they had been a short time before, and I looked out the window; any moment the sun would kiss the sky orange, sparking new darkness and putting an end to the birds' chorus. I sat down on a sofa that was placed in a corner of the room. When I looked down, I saw that I was still holding the dead flowers that I had replaced. The sunflowers and dandelions in my palm weren't just dead; they'd been dried like the beautiful blossoms my nan used to hang in her kitchen. The petals clung to one other, radiating around the brown centre, its beautiful chocolate colours visible even in the darkness of the room. I had no idea how much time had passed when the door was jolted open. And there he entered, with that cold expression and dead eyes that I despise so much. He st
“The Alpha has asked for your presence at his residence.” He said this with a straight face, and Vesna moved in front of me, shielding me from the guard.“Why?” She inquired, and his gaze was drawn to her.“The Alpha is under no obligation to provide you with an explanation.” He murmured coldly, and his gaze returned to me. “Come with me, or I shall be compelled to take you forcefully.” Vesna was going to protest again but I stopped her. There is no good in protesting a decision that has already been made and an order that was already sent out. I moved Vesna out of my way and spoke,“Can you allow me some time to change my clothing and I would be present there.” I dashed to my bedroom when he nodded. I put on a loose midi dress because I can't afford to show off my pregnancy. I exited the room after cleaning up and making myself look presentable, and the guard was still standing where I had left him. I stepped out of the house, and he trailed silently after me.Even though it was onl
“She is refusing to put on the dress, sir.”“Is she now?” He said and walked closer to me. I gulped but did not take a single step back or bow my head. A male who disrespects a female this way is no male or an Alpha. I do not have any respect for a male like him.“Were you not told of what I commanded?” He asked.“I was,”“Then why are you disobeying an Alpha’s command.” He asked raising a brow. His voice, his eyes and his presence were starting to disgust me to the bone.“Because you are not my Alpha. You do not command me.” The words came out stern and Krsto tilted his head.“Hmm. The last I knew, you are living in my pack, working on my land, consuming the food I put on the table. Which makes you one of my wolves and it makes me your Alpha.” He took a step closer. “Then why are you refusing to entertain me and my guests exactly?”“I-I am not an entertainer.”“You are not? I thought you were my son’s little harlot. Even though I must say, he did make poor choices.” A sicking smirk f
I wiped my tears and came to a complete stop on my path. When I looked around, it appeared as though clouds had descended from the heavens. The earth was covered in clouds, giving it the appearance of a blank page. If the fog suddenly hadn’t engulfed everything, I would have been ecstatic, but I was starting to feel uneasy.In the middle of April, I was engulfed by fog, and the path that led home had vanished. I felt a shudder run down my spine as I looked around, attempting to figure out where I was or where the path I was on had vanished. “Where am I!” The rustles of dried leaves and branches sounded from behind me as I wondered aloud. When I turned back, a hooded form appeared from the fog.As the silhouette approached, I instantly took a step back. I could tell it had to be a male because the form was large and muscular. He continued to stride in my direction, his silhouette appearing to be fluid and sleek. He appeared to be nothing more than a black outline. But as he pulled som
“Are you okay?” Erdem asked, his voice gentle. I nodded and my legs gave in. I sat down on the ground and nodded my head.“What a hustle,” The assassin grumbled as he stood up massaging the left side of his stomach. “I wasn’t expecting anyone to interrupt my game for a while.” He sighed cracking his knuckles. He then proceeded to stretch his limbs.“Let’s start, shall we? I don’t have all night.” Erdem snarled and the assassin smirked. “I will kill you along with the thought of hurting what is mine again! Right here, right now!” “I will let your actions speak in that matter.” The assassin smirked and moved in front of Erdem in an instant. He extended his leg straight with a kick intended at Erdem's head. But Erdem flawlessly blocked the kick and pushed his leg away, never so much as batting an eye. Erdem ducked and dodged the killer's onslaught as he smirked and swung his leg. He attempted another kick at Erdem, but he was quick on his feet and stood up. Never coming into contact wit
“I think you should leave…” I said wiping my tears and standing up. “…and take me with you.” I heard Vesna gasp.“I wish to return home, Ciro,” I said and Ciro composed himself and nodded.“Let’s go,” Ciro said as he offered me his hand. I took a step towards him passing Erdem, but he grabbed my arm before I could reach Ciro. My head shot back at him.“Let go of me,” I stated gently. Erdem shook his head as his hold on my arm become firmer and more protective.“Let go,” I murmured, but he remained firm.“You are not going anywhere. I will not allow you,” Erdem declared, his voice trembling.“Let her go!” Ciro grumbled, but he ignored it.“Leave us alone,” Erdem ordered without breaking eye contact with me.“I am not going anywhere! Let her go!” Ciro declared and to my surprise, Erdem picked me up bridal style. Before I could protest, he was already carrying me to my room.“You bastard! Let her down!” Ciro growled as Erdem sped off.“Where are you taking her!” I heard Ciro shouting, an
I stood by the bed, a few feet away from him. He ran his fingers through his hair for the hundredth time.“How are your feet?” he asked. The pain was nothing compared to what was going on inside my heart. I had forgotten about it, to tell the truth.“Don’t make small talk please,” I said, trying to sound cold but I am sure, my red eyes and trembling voice gave me away. Even so, he nodded and proceeded with his speech.“I will not deny the attraction…the pull I feel towards you. I am not denying what you feel. I feel the very same.” He admitted and I audibly gasped. He looked straight into my eyes, and I knew he wasn’t lying. All this time, I thought only I was the one feeling this pull. It baffles me how easily he could hide and deny this irresistible pull!“That night, it was my fault as much as it was yours. I blamed you alone because I couldn’t bring myself to accept the mistake I made. I have been cruel to you. Verbally…physically. And I won’t try to justify mistakes. But I do wan
