BRYNN'S POV"You are not permitted to leave the palace premises!"My father's yell rang through the hall and I lowered my head as fear gripped me. What had I expected? It should have been clear what his response was going to be, but I just had to try. Summoning more courage, I snapped my head and locked my eyes on his."But father, I already promised my friend Julia, that I would go with her to the festival tonight, if you could just allow me-""What nonsense!" He bellowed, "Forget about meeting up with that commoner and focus on your studies. You are to be the next princess of this kingdom, you do not have time to spare on friends and leisure activities. Now, go back to the study!"I bit my inner lips so hard, I could taste blood on my tongue."Yes, father," I said through gritted teeth.I rose up from my knees and marched out of the throne room. I marched down the large hallways, gritting my teeth as anger overwhelmed me. It has always been like this, always. I was the priced daught
SUZIE'S POVI gazed at Elliot, my mind and body in a total state of shock. Everything he had narrated for me seemed hard to believe. The things he said about my mother put me in a state of disbelief."I can't believe this, I can't believe any of this. So you're trying to tell me, that my own mother, abandoned me, and left me with that man?""Suzie, look," Elliot sighed. "I know it looks like mother abandoned you, but it was because she didn't have a choice, she couldn't take you with her. If she did, she probably wouldn't have been able to escape alpha Stanley."I shook my head. I just could not accept anything he was saying."That all sounds like excuses. If she really wanted me, she would have found a way to take me with her! I suffered front the hands of my father!" I yelled, tears blurting my vision.My lips began to quiver as I tried my best to suppress my tears."Its always like this," I croaked, "I always get abandoned at the end of the day.""Hey, Suzie, don't say that," Ellio
SUZIE'S POVMy eyes cracked open as the sound of chirping birds roused me from my sleep. I blinked away the blurriness in my eyes, and kept my gaze fixed on the ceiling. My mind was still a bit hazy as I tried to fully get myself awake.My eyes trailed to the window, and I watched as sunlight filter into the room, through the silk curtains. Memories of yesterday began to cloud my mind and I grimaced instantly.Elliot's words and everything he had told me rang in my head. Everything he said felt like a dream, but now that I was awake, it felt all too real. I sighed, sitting up on the bed and flinging my legs down from it.I looked at the wall clock and observed that it was a little past 8am. The argument I had engaged in with the quadruplets popped up in my head at that moment. I began to feel irritated and unwilling to leave my room, to avoid seeing them, but I knew that wasn't possible.As I rose up from the bed, I heard my phone beep, and I immediately picked it up from the bedside
SUZIE'S POVI stared at my phone screen, rereading the message that was on it. It was rather early in the morning, and the first text I had gotten was from Elliot. He was asking if we could meet alone to talk, and I already knew what he was going to say.My fingers went to work and I replied to his message, saying that I would meet up with him. Immediately I clicked on the send button, I could see that Elliot was typing. His message came in immediately and I read it."I'm so glad you agreed. Let's meet under the oak tree close to the park," It read.I sighed, placing my phone down. Yesterday was a rollercoaster of emotions and I did not know how I was going to face the quadruplets. Alpha Cole had carelessly spilled our secret deal and I could tell that they had begun to lose their trust in me.I shook my head, expelling thoughts of them and decided to get ready to meet up with Elliot. I hopped into the shower and washed up, before slipped out and putting on some clothes. I wore a simp
SUZIE'S POVI stood at the entrance of the pack house, my heart beating fast in my chest. This was the moment that determined everything, even my future. I let out a shape breath and stared at my fist. I opened my hand, and a single pill lay in it.I had obtained the pill on my way here, and it served a single purpose; to weaken the quadruplets. I knew that it would be close to impossible, for me to leave on my own terms, so the only way I could do it, was to put them in a state where they could not obstruct me from leaving.And this pill was the key to my plan.I slipped the pill into my mouth and his it behind a gum.I gathered all the courage I could summon inside me, and placed my hands on the door knob. The door cracked open slowly, and I slid in, my heart ramming hard in my chest.A knot of uneasiness formed in my stomach and I felt the urge to bolt right out of the front door, but I needed to do this, so there was no way I could back down now. I made my way into the living room
SUZIE'S POVI slowed down my pace when I realized I was far from the pack house. I grabbed my knees as I desperately tried to grasp for air. The moment I had stepped out of the pack house, I ran. It felt like if I had stayed there a bit longer, I would have been forced to rethink my options.I stood up straight and exhaled sharply, as I pulled out my phone. There was one more step in needed to pass through, in order to finally gain freedom and go with Elliot to my new home, and that was speaking with alpha Cole.As much as I swore to never talk to him again, he was still the alpha of this pack, and I needed his permission to officially leave his pack. I pulled out my phone and dialed his number immediately. I listened to it ring for a few seconds before I heard the click sound.My heart was beating rapidly, as I waited for him to speak."If it isn't my precious Suzie. What can I do for you dear?"I cringed at the sound of his voice, but there was nothing I could do, but bear with it f
BLAIR'S POVMy eyes fluttered open as I slowly regained consciousness. I blinked the remaining blurring in my eyes and began to look around. My brothers were all laid down on the ground in the living room, just like how they were before I loser consciousness.I slowly sat up, my head throbbing with a dull ache. I held my head, groaning as I desperately fished my brain for the memories of events that had led us to this state."Suzie," I heard Roy groan beside me.And then it clicked.The memories flooded in like a waterfall, each scene playing out at the time. How Suzie had been so dominant that day and how I had never seen her like that. It struck me as weird, but it was exciting to see another side of her, I had never seen before.I could remember when my body started to feel weak. It was right after she kissed me. My body was getting eeak slowly, but I paid no mind to it. The effects of whatever Suzie had given us started to hit a few minutes later and there was nothing I could do t
SUZIE'S POVThe grassdes swayed as I gently lowered myself to the low bushes filled with berries. A brown basket adorned my hips, and I slowly settled it down on the grass and began to plucking the ripe red berries from their branches."Hey Suzie! Look at this!"My eyes snapped towards the voice and I saw her, holding a large conjoined berry together. She looked cheerful, her eyes beaming with an immense amount of happiness.Blue eyes, brown hair with golden streaks Sylvia was just as pretty as when I had first laid eyes on her. The pack leader I had ran into at the forest was kind enough to bring me into his pack. The journey back to his pack took a few days, but eventually we reached it.The pack was a small one, but the whole surroundings and atmosphere was cheerful and welcoming. People welcomed me with open arms and no one seemed to discriminate against me.Sylvia was one of the wolves I was introduced to, because she was close to my age. We bonded immediately and I found out how
SUZIE'S POVThe birds chirping outside the window, roused me up from my sleep. I moved around in the bed and noticed that there was no one beside me. My eyes fluttered open, and I pushed myself up on the bed as I rubbed my eyes.I looked around, my eyes scanning the empty bed as questions popped up in my head. I vividly remember falling asleep in my mates arms, but now, they were no where in sight.Where had they gone?I looked around, unsure of where they could've gone and why they were not in the bed when it was just a few minutes past 6am. I pushed myself up from the bed and as my feet touched the ground, the door burst open and my mates trouped in.Asher was grinning at me and beside him was Blair, who held a large tray in his hand. My eyes moved to Roy and Felix, who also has trays in their hand. I was puzzled and I raised my eyebrows at them."What is all of this?" I asked."We wanted to surprise the most beautiful woman in the world with some breakfast in bed. Pretty neat right
CARL'S POVI slipped through the window, my body hitting the floor. I breathed out a sigh of relief as I rose up from the floor, and dusted the dirt away from my shirt. I looked around the room, one more time to confirm if Elliot was here.Thankfully, he wasn't.I quickly peeled off everything item of clothing I had on, and slipped on a robe. I needed to act and look like I had never left the room before he came back. I quickly changed back to my original form, but the make up I had applied on my face was still there.I swiped some wipes off the table and sat in front of the vanity mirror. I had applied on some heavy make up, just in case someone managed to recognise me through the disguise. I wiped my forehead, and slowly went down to my eyebrows.I wiped of the mascara, and just as I was about to wipe off the red lipstick, I began to hear the locks on the door click. I froze, unable to move as I watched the door unlock. The door clicked, and swung open.My eyes went wide as they fel
SUZIE'S POV"Hey, how are you holding up?"I was suddenly jolted out of my mind, and it was only them I realised that I had still been staring at the burning pack house, only that now, it wasn't ablaze anymore. The remains, ashes, black debris was the only thing in sight.I turned back to see Felix, gazing at me with softness in his eyes. I shot him a wry smile, because even I was unable to tell if I was okay or not. Everything had happened so fast, and it was overwhelming. My mind kept replaying each scene, and I knew I would remember these events for a very long time.The carriage shook, and I turned to see Felix settling down beside me. He wrapped his arm around me and I snuggled closer to him, placing my head on his chest. He stroked my hair and the feeling put a sense of calmness over me."You don't have to say anything, I can tell how you're feeling. Everything that happened was really heavy and you are honestly very strong for pushing through."I chuckled. "The only reason I co
SUZIE'S POVThe boy I held in my hands, was not only covered in my blood, but his as well. I only noticed when I saw the large cut wound at his side. Blood was gushing out from the large wound, and the life in his eyes were slowly dimming out.My eyes went wide and I ran my hands across his face. "No, no, no, I can't let you die," I muttered through gritted teeth.I tried to push myself up from the ground, when I felt a sharp pain, just above my abdomen. The pain stopped me from moving, and my eyes travelled down to the spot. A large branch was stuck right in that spot, and blood filled the floor below it.I groaning, feeling the pain rising as I kept moving. I ignored the pain, and pushed myself up, until my back was resting on a large boulder. I held the bit close, his eyes blinking rapidly.His breathing was getting shallow by the minute, and soon, I could not see the rise and fall of his chest. My lips began to quiver, and so did my hands. I clutched him tightly, like he was my la
SUZIE'S POVI turned my head back slowly, and my eyes fell on the young boy. He had his first clenched to his sides and a mean scowl on his face. He had his gaze son Blair, who was still trying to recover. What had just happened? I assumed that Blair will deal with the boy easily, so what was going on?"Fuck, that bastard, how is he that strong? I underestimated him," Blair groaned as he rose to his feet.The boy began to breathe heavily, with his chest rising and falling rapidly. He eyes were growing redder by the minute, and so was his skin. He looked at me, and a chill ran down my spine."How dare you, how dare you, how dare all of you! How dare you interrupt me from serving my purpose in life!"He screamed again, and it resembled the shriek of that hideous monster. I placed my hands on my ears and winced as they began to ring. I watched, mortified as the boy's body began to change slowly.His skin grew as red as blood and two large horns emerged from his forehead. His eyes now hel
SUZIE'S POVI ran, as fast as my quivering legs could carry me. I was too scared to turn back, but I could hear the shrieks and screams of the monster, right behind me. I could hear the sound of it crawling through the boulder, and I knew it was a matter of time before it got its hands on me.My breath was laboured and I was gasping for air at this point. My legs were getting weak, but I had to push on. The images of my mate, and the sounds of their struggles replayed in my mind. My vision blurred with tears as I thought of their condition.I wished I could go back for them, but I could only pray that they weren't badly hurt.The screams of the entity rang through the air once again, the sound bouncing off against the wall, and making the whole cave shudder. Rocks and debris began to fall, hitting my skin, and nicking it.But I ignored the bruises and kept running.It didn't take long, like I had anticipated, before I could hear the sound of the monster heavy steps behind me. It was c
SUZIE'S POVI was in awe, and I didn't know how to act, or react to the tantrum Geraldine was exhibiting right in front of me. She kept shrieking like a mad person, again and, until the walls began to vibrate."What is she doing?" Asher asked.I turned to them, and they eyes were fixed on her, a fearful and confused look on their faces. I snapped my head back and suddenly, Geraldine passed. With her hands in the air and her eyes looking up to the roof, she stood still, unmoving.I watched, in amusement, as she slowly brought her hands back to her side and she looked at me. Her face and her whole demeanour was calmer that it was, a few seconds ago. She sighed and smiled at me while she shook her head."I knew it would come to this," she sighed, "I knew you would refuse my offer, and how i wish you had accepted. Now, I am forced to use my last resort."Last resort? All the hairs at the back of my neck stood up straight. I had a terrible feeling about her words, and I could not shake it
SUZIE'S POVMy eyes went so wide, I feared they would fall of, as I gazed at the people that trooped into the cave. They were children, elderly men and woman, and a few young men, but they all looked malnourished.Some of the were missing a limb, while some looked like they had a permanent brain disorder. Some could barely walk, and they limped, while some of them looked so skinny, their bones were protruding out of their skin.It was so bad, that I thought their bones would pop out, and tear through their skin. They all stood beside Geraldine, and they could not gaze into my eyes. They all looked downwards, and most of them did not have functioning eyes.I did not know whether to feel pity, or shock at the sight that was before me. And I couldn't even look at them, because of how deformed most of them looked. They didn't look human, and they had a creepy aura surrounding them.Geraldine's gaze switched to me, and she had a more firm and calm demeanour."As you can see, these are the
SUZIE'S POV"Please, forgive him, he was just a boy that went astray, do forgive him. He didn't know what he was doing," Geraldine said aa she clasped her hands together.I looked at the way her eyes were pleading with me. Hee whole demeanour looked like she was desperate. She was, but there was nothing I could do to help her. It also angered me that she wanted me to just forgive the dark king's transgressions so easily."You make it seem like the dark king, the things he did holds no weight, but it seems like you do not understand the height of the things he did. He sent our a deadly plague to my people. He killed families, children, women, men, he killed them without batting an eye lid. He tortured me countless of times and molested me when I was just a child!"My whole body began to quiver as I began to remember those bitter memories I had hidden at the back of my mind. I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I turned to see Asher, comforting me. I placed my hand on his ansShot him a sma
