A hug that could last a lifetime – she wished for such. One that embodied pure comfort, sheer warmth, and perhaps love.Raven couldn't remember the last time she experienced something like that. Sure, her parents, before they died during the war some years back, were the best things she knew existed. To her, they and her mother were her world.Funny enough, Raven could recall telling her brother, Chris how he and their parents meant the world to her only to get a response with;‘Meaning you have three worlds, sis?’It was ridiculous, but it happened when they were young – when she was happy. Those times, her smiles were sheerly genuine.But after that war broke out, she lost two of her worlds and left with one she tried, but failed to protect. The more Raven's mind leaped into her pool of memories, tears welled in her eyes and fell unceasingly down her cheeks.That day, she didn't mean to cry – no; Raven was feeling somewhat gleeful.Chris had informed her about his mission – it ended
With the rate at which she shivered endlessly, one would compare her to a wet cat drenched heavily by the rain – Yvette was unsettled.It was written on her face, yet none tried to question her – the Scarlet Heart Pack's populace were one to mind their business. That was the sole thing they could do, aside from wallowing in a pool of seemingly unceasing suffering.At the sink where a maid stood beside her, both were tasked to do the dishes and since night was fast approaching, all were trying to match up the pace.Yet, Yvette's hands, which were trembling incessantly, let go of a glass plate, and it crashed loudly to the floor, shattering to pieces.“Yvette!” the Head Maid yelled angrily at her – what was she trying to do? Who in their right mind was unaware of the consequences of setting dinner late?None were slacking or making silly mistakes aside from her, and frankly, the Head Maid, with the others, was pissed.“What in Heaven's name is wrong with you?” the aged she-wolf frowned
It couldn't be considered walking anymore, since both were running to Derek's room.It wasn't like they were concerned about his welfare – Sebastian had always wished him death from the very onset.Derek would forever be a thorn in his flesh unless he ceases to exist, and Rita's focus was Michelle.She needed that human slut to be either killed or kept caged for the rest of her existence. Surely, she would have wasted her life without batting any eyelashes, then again, both Alpha and Delta claimed there was no use in her being alive.Yet, and most certainly vex fully, none had utilized Michelle being kept in that room even in the slightest. Mere thinking about it, Rita realized how much she was surrounded by brainless fools.Sebastian, despite his boast of being overly knowledgeable, couldn't manipulate the Alpha King, Shawn, into being dethroned. It was seriously infuriating that he failed to make any good of Michelle.And for Derek, Rita wished he would have by now gotten rid of tha
Despite the absurdity of her utterance, Sebastian conceded. Rita was always a devil's advocate, so yes, it was understandable how witty she was when it came to the eradication of other lives.An unfeeling devil – that was what she was. Nothing more or else. It was somewhat funny how the sweetest beta in the whole Nation birthed a witch like Margarita.While Sebastian thought deeply about how to corner Michelle and then recapture her, Derek's eyes stared unshakably at the window – what was going to happen to Michelle?Though his life was in danger because of her, it didn't decrease his love for her in the slightest – what kind of lover would he be if he hated her due to something so minor?By any chance, if Rita and Sebastian thrived in capturing Michelle again, then her lifespan would be shortened drastically. For one, this devil in the form of a she-wolf would rather die than let Michelle live.Not after she possibly yet narrowly escaped being caught by the Alpha King – in one way or
The sole sound that could be heard was his unsteady yet heavy breathing. His chest rose and fell baggily, and a stream of blood flowed down a corner of his lips.Derek was in sheer pain.Groaning, his eyes diverted to the spot where Michelle had stabbed him. Due to how much he moved, the wound reopened, and now, he was bleeding profusely.His blood gradually soaked his entire clothing, as the gynecologist drowned in a pool of pain. It was agonizing then again, Derek didn't regret fleeing from that room.He began taking heavy inhalations, in an attempt to rid himself of the pain, yet it wasn't working.“Fuck” Derek let out a heavy sigh, then, with so many efforts, rested his back properly on the wall.This room once belonged to him – well, when his deceased father cared about him before he lost the Title Contest to Alpha King Shawn.After he was made to the Delta, Derek changed rooms, and this one was left unkempt, unattended,and filthy.He hated it yet was certain it would take that d
“Chris…” With balls of seemingly unceasing tears cascading down her cheeks, the black witch of a maid, Raven brought her fingers to the pale face of her brother.To say that she was glad would be an understatement – Raven was overwhelmingly delighted.After months of being separated from him, with the addition of over a decade of sheer forced labor and pain, they were free.Free from the Scarlet Heart Pack, and perhaps even bondage. Who would blame her for crying so unstoppably?Her heart was filled with joy, and her soul had never felt this much gladness in a long while – it even got her trembling.The beta of the Alpha King, Andrew could only glance at her after he laid Michelle on a wheeled stretcher.It was kind of laughable yet brilliant how the beta thought of bringing with him two stretchers of this kind.They had been in his car, but he dimmed it essential after the Alpha King handed two injured individuals to him.While Michelle sustained light injuries like bruising her knee
Rushing through the stairs of the staircase, the wheels of her luggage made noises that attracted the Head Maid and some other passing by. Sharply, each rushed out of the kitchen but confusion filled their faces at the sight of an apprehensive Marianna. What had gotten into her. The Head Maid for once could clearly see the uneasiness plastered smoothly on her face, and judging from the luggage in her possession, she was about to leave. But why? Had something tragic happened that they weren't aware of?Still, none wanted to question her since Marianna was a guest - the Alpha King had ordered them to act respectfully to his guests. Who would want to anger Marianna knowing fully well she could terminate their stay in the Royal Palace with just a mere bad statement?Yet the Head Maid couldn't simply watch her leave - she was a guest, yes, and so her leave must be notified to thr Alpha King. And the rashness of her movements were plainly suspicious. "Excuse me, Miss Marianna?" Softl
Fear.It was always something the Alpha of the Scarlet Pack had felt to anything relating with the Alpha King. And perphas, that was what fueled his hatred towards Shawn. As an Alpha himself, why should he be controlled and be afraid of a fellow Alpha. It was conflicting feeling for Sebastian, and so, he wanted nothing more than to terminate Shawn. His tactfulness, compelling power, and superiority was frightening to Sebastian yet he admired that. He admired the amount of respect all had for him, and so wanted it desperately. Sebastian though wasn't the strongest and certainly not the most deserving of being made an Alpha, desired more. Some would classify it as greed yet all would agree to how distastful it felt to be intimidated by someone or something. Sebastian could only imagine the day where the Alpha King would attempt to rid his existence from the face of the Earth. And what would he, a weak and fortune filled being who luckily got chosen to an Alpha out of the blue do
