When one feels the warmth of the fire it's called wrath. And when one burns in the fire it's called hate but when one burns down to ashes because of the fire then it's called revenge. They forced me to feel the warmth, burn and turn into ashes.
But like a phoenix I plan on rising from the ashes they burned me down to.Till date I can't stay in one place place for more than three months all because of them my life has no direction I'm just living because my heart hasn't stopped beating although everyday I wish I could just die. I loathed them for filling my life with fury.Our fate is determined by the house we grow up in. Your story's first author is your mom. This has me wondering everyday I spent alive, that what is my fate? Is the life I'm living really the life I should be.All this I can never know but can always wonder. But what I do is I was writing my own fate, I couldn't change it but the least I could was make mine.Despite being a rogue, though I didn't live like one, I wasn't brutal and bestial like normal ones. I was one. I created a small, solidarity and simple life for myself. It wasn't easy given we had to fight to survive, but it was the best thing other than killing our own kind. And turning into bestial people.I was still so young but I was so many things a lone wolf, an unwanted child, a sister, a best friend but most of all a mother to a handsome adorable little guy, Phoenix, my little brother.He was my world. If it wasn't for him I'd have long tied myself to a rope and killed myself. He was my inspiration. When I felt like I was crying in the middle of streets but no one was listening, when I felt like just giving in to death, his smile gave me strength. His eyes gave me hope and his laughter gave me happiness lots of it.He was my pride. Besides the hate they gave me Phoenix was best thing they could ever give me.We had just moved to a different place one I had doubts before moving into but anyways it was for three months.And today was our first day ever going to school. Phoenix had been nagging me about enrolling in a school and I thought since this was my last year in highschool I could at least give it a try.Waking him up is an easy job, I taught him not to be a heavy sleeper because one never knows what might happen but leaving the house to go he's always wanted to go seems to be kinda difficult.We're outside and I'm waiting for him to get in the car but he just doesn't want to say bye to Jenny and Gill, his fish friends."Phoenix you've been saying goodbye for ten minutes!""Just one minute" he says and I heave a sigh."Phoenix I'm asking nicely can you not vex me and get in there car?" He chose to remain silent.Okay he wants me to be the bad guy. I freezed the water in the fish tank. He turns to me with a frowned on his face "I thought I told you to not flaunt you powers infront of me?""I thought I told you to get in the car" he scoffed at me. And got in.He plugged his earphones in, apparently I'm a chatterbox, once I start talking it's hard for me to keep quiet so him plugging the earphones in is to halt me from talking non-stop."Seriously" I rolled my eyes at him hoping he'd at least reconsider."Very necessary!" He looked away. How boring.The ride to school was fine except I was fretting about the future. I mean sure I was elated because he was happy but I worried how would he be around people. He was bashful and people were just so different from me they weren't me they wouldn't treat him like I did,he wasn't used to them.I spent my whole life protecting him from this bestial world. Letting him go to school felt like I was about to stop protecting him.I looked at him, he was still listening to music. I reminiscised our memories together with him. My brother always lived life like there was no tommorow he didn't care what would befall him he just...lived.I wondered if he'd be able to walk on the mildstones the bestial society would lay down for him, that he was an unwanted child worth nothing that he...As if he sensed my worries he shook my arm"Chubby cheeks I'll be fine" I scoffed. How can he so certain, I knew the world he didn't.I parked outside the gates."Listen I want you to promise something, you won't let anyone belittle you." I said in a very serious tone but just laughed at me."I promise" he said in between his laughs."Pinky promise?" He maintained a serious"I promise sister, I promise I won't let you down""Nigga, you better! Else I'm going to whoop your ass" I drove in the school gates.'Angelique I hate to be the one to break it to you but something bad is about to happen' my wolf said.' Not now Angela, I feel it too' she can be irritating sometimes. But truth be told I felt something awful was about to happen. And I somewhat wasn't ready for it"I'm so happy I think my heart is producing small hearts" Phoenix said. This one is obsessed with talking yet he says I'm the chatterbox."Yeah I can totally relate" I said plainly."Are you that boring, you've never been to school so how can you relate" I shrugged my shoulders."I didn't know what to say, chubby cheeks" I smiled and glared at me.He hates it when I call him chubby cheeks but he calls me that but I never complain.We were just a few steps from entering the school building when we heard a car crash. We turned.Scratch what I said.Actually a car...No!. A Porsche hit my car. Fury , rage...name them all, were all the emotions running in my body. I worked my ass off to pay for that car.I started fuming with wrath. I wanted to kill someone.Promises are made and kept but some were just meant to be broken. I vowed to Phoenix that I wouldn't be impulsive at school because being impulsive always lands me in nothing but trouble.However, the moron who hit my car pissed me off, I couldn't act like I was okay with what he did. "Please sis let it go we'll walk on foot," Phoenix said while also trying to stop me from going to cause a scene there, but I wasn't having any of that carp. This one is thinking with his toes. I wouldn't do everything I wanted to do without my car."Who did this to my car?" I bawled."I did," a husky voice said from behind me, it was deep yet still sexy. The kind of deep voice that is so very easy to fall in love with, that auditory caramel.My subconscious told me to turn and without blinking I did, one for the fact that I wanted to see who demolished my car and two because I wanted to see the possessor of the attractive voice I just heard.I turned. And my jaw dropped. I blinked twice, just to confirm
The past is what you went through to be who are, it's what paved you to be who you are. The past is what you were not what you are, not who you are. The past doesn't define you. That's why people say that the present and the future are important and not the past.But I believe the past is what's crucial, new memories can always be created but old memories can never be expunged. You live on with the memories, good or bad, they live within you. You make space for them.Dark or bright. Happy or sad the past stays with you. You can't forget the past it's impossible to, but you make peace with the past. And carry it wherever go.My past is, was, and will always be painful. I carried the pain with me like a mosquito sucks blood from our bodies, it sucked and sucked onto my soul until I made harmony with the fact that the only thing I was destined to, was pain.Over the years heartache became my mother and the physical pain became my father, the day I realized that those two things were my p
In our realm, rogues are best known for killing their kind if they aren't given a chance. They're a great danger to packs because all they do is kill. We have a bad odor radiating from our bodies.No one can stand the unbearable smell of rotten flesh and rotten eggs. They're really easy to spot that's why they're easily killed. That way they're bestial But there are good rogues like me we don't kill people we just try to survive which is hard because there are rouges out who still want to kill us despite us not being bad. But as for me thanks to the powers and dreams I get from only the goddess knows where I can conceal my awful scent but I know that he scented that I am a rogue that's why he kept whispering it to me. What I couldn't understand was why wasn't doing anything about it.He was trying to get as close to him as possible, I guess he had that keep your friends close and your enemies closer thing in his mind."If you had just apologized you would have had to piggyback ride
Emotions ran through my body like the water runs in the sea. Anger was fuming inside me and hatred rooting from within me. âWhen youâre done whining, tell me so we can start workingâ Working? My job was to be his maid. A personal one at that.âWhat works,â I asked making my way toward him.â Iâm meeting with people from the councilâ he stated.Whatâs that got to do with me? I wondered but still listened.âI want them to feel at home while theyâre hereâ So I should be their maid too. That was simple.â Itâs the least you can do after the destruction youâve caused in my lifeâI stared at him with my eyebrows raised.â Donât give me that look, I turned my phone off because itâs bombarding with notifications and messages, do you want the headlines âFamous Ruthless Alpha Bane Gets Ridiculed By A RogueâArgh, that news will be ancient history tomorrow. Wait! Do they know that I am a rogue?âRelax they donât know youâre a rogueâ â It's just that everyone who is not Candy is
Being alive pangs, especially when you feel a trail of emotions burning inside you that need to be released but you can't do that. It hurts to be alive and helpless.I wonder when will this pain demise I'm continuously inhabiting in misery and it's not pleasant I just want to live a normal life but fate is not letting me I'm instead swimming in a sea of sorrowsMeeting Cain was terrible, he used to make me do things I didn't want to, I smuggled drugs sometimes he'd even put them in my stomach he made me do terrible things to people. In his eyes and Banes's, I'm trash but he never made me feel worthless. What he ordered me to do was the same as being a prostitute because what if their lust nudges them to want my body to get what he wants he'll let them ravish like a predator ravishes their prey.I look at the dress he sent for me it's lying on the bed it's black, short, and ridiculously cute I wonder who told him black is my favorite color.I take a quick shower, after taking a shower I
I'm waiting outside my door waiting for the Queen to open the door. I roll my eyes. It's freezing outside here since I'm not wearing anything. I could probably barge in but I don't want to see such filth as her naked, it would be too insulting and disgusting.But it wouldn't be so bad to see her naked, I snickered, and the door to my room slowly opened. When it was finally ajar I wondered if I was being delusional or what but what I saw mystified me, an angel with black hair stood in front of me. If I didn't have to do something important today I would've taken her right here and now.Her hair was dripping with water and her white shirt was wet giving me a full display of her overripped bananas, spotty and hanging precariously from tender stalks."Sorry for the wait I was taking a shower," She said biting her lower lip. I stood still, ogling at her."Fuck" I cursed to myself. What is this lowlife doing to me? "I just came to get my shirt but I see you're using it I'll get another one"
To say I wasn't scared of the outcome of what I was about to do would be a blue lie, I was sweating and shaking and clumsy I lost count of the times I went to pee. I was terrified.I hoped Bane would tell me to not go through but instead, he told me to relax. I kept telling myself that I was doing this to get the alpha off my back for some time."Good day gentlemen," I said as I walked into the dining room forcing a smile on my face. I hope I am nailing this, I don't want to disappoint him.I poured the first guy his tea then, the one with the big belly. This one I didn't need to look at him to see that he was looking at me, I could feel his eyes on me, gazing at me. I put his coffee in front of him. Rumor has it that he likes women who look just like me right now. I turned to him and faked a smile so he doesn't see the disgust and uneasiness on my face, just as I was about to take the tray a hot slap landed on my ass.I raised my eyes to where Bane was sitting but there was no one
The day I'd been dreading had come. I have to share my space with this asshole. I'm not a weakling but then again I can't match this guy. Even when he speaks, he outsmarts me. Why would he want me to fight with his warriors? "Stop!" I can't deal with this. I ran for my life. I stop when I'm at the river. "So Miss Rogue did you think running was the best option you could come up with?" Now I'm in serious trouble."What are you?" He said and I swallowed hard."I... I... I" I saw several wolves coming from the woods in every direction."Speak!" He shouted."You're naked" I stated at the obvious."Yes so" I couldn't fight those wolves"How many enemies do you have?" I asked if they were close and I didn't want to panic."You're the first one" I chuckled. This doesn't surprise me.He wanted to turn but I halted him."Don't turn after you've seen, but look into my eyes" he looked into my eyes and panicked."Wait don't panic, can you fight them or should I help you?" He laughed a laughlau
ANGELIQUE'S POVAfter spending some time with my new found cousin, I decided to call the Pack house to see if Bane had arrived. To my surprise, he had, and he left to his house but didnât bother to inform me that he wouldnât be picking me up anymore. So here I am, making my way to his house on my own.His place feels more like a morgue than a home; the Pack house is much better. I already regret visiting him. The gate is left open, so I park my car next to his and head inside.As I walk in, the silence is so intense you could hear a pin drop. I think he intended to reflect his cold, dark personality in this house. The walls are navy blue, the furniture is navy blue, and the curtains are grayânothing here suggests life.âBane!?â I call out, but thereâs no response.âI know youâre here, where are you?â I ask.âWhy are you trespassing?â he replies from behind me, nearly giving me a heart attack.âIâm not trespassing; I was told you were here. So I am supposed to just follow you around l
ANGELIQUE'S POVNothing he says makes any sense; I hear voices in my headâechoes from my past. I want to stop thinking, but I can't. I'm sitting here, watching his lips move, but I can't hear a thing. My biggest question is if thereâs someone out there, a family member besides my terrible parents, who knew that I'm alive. Why didnât that person come for me? For us? They left me and brother to suffer for their own selfish reasons.Was I born into some kind of cult where they just create babies and discard them like theyâre worthless? Because if this guy next to me truly believes his biological parents are dead, then heâs more foolish than I realized. Iâm convinced his parents and my parents are still alive; they just loved him enough to let him have a decent life here in this Pack, unlike mine, who abandoned me in a box.My mind races to being raped every single day, night,hour and minute by Daniel, my foster dad and his wife Mitchell who would play with my clitoris while he fucked
ANGELIQUE'S POV It's early morning, and the sunlight feels like it's piercing my eyes. I toss off the blanket. I think back to yesterday's events; if Bane hadn't shown up with that thing, I would be in a terrible state right now. The fear I saw in Phoenix's eyes when he looked at me was truly unsettling. I need to help him see that this is more of a gift than a curse so he won't panic when he sees me like that again in the future. But the thought of telling him that he will be like me stresses me out. "Chubby Cheeks!" he shouts at me. "Yes, Bane!?" I shout back, and he frowns. Bane chuckles from behind me, and I cover my face in embarrassment. Why did I yell his name? "Do you like me so much that you have to shout my name?" he asks. "No, my mind was just elsewhere," I reply, and he nods. "Go brush your teeth and come back," I tell Phoenix. "You're not my favorite person, but I want to thank you for what you did yesterday; it meant a lot," he says, nodding. "I
BANE'S POVI find myself smiling as I think about my interactions with Miss Feisty. She's quite a handful; she challenges me, and she's the only one who calls me Bane. It's a bit disrespectful, but I've grown accustomed to it, and I actually kind of like it.I smile again when I notice she left my room tidy.I know she was right about Carol, but I still can't bring myself to ask her for advice on how to handle things. Why am I even thinking about this?Not long ago, she was accused of being a witch. What if she's using some kind of power on me, which is why I'm having these thoughts? I shouldn't be developing feelings for her, but she makes my life so much easier. I've achieved so much with her around.If Candy was here the only she'd yapping about going to the mall and wasting my money. But this one, is the only female who's helped me achieve my too goals. I have the land because of her help.A knock on my door interrupts my thoughts."Come in.""Mr. Alpha, I've been waiting for your
After his intense conversation with Phoenix's sister, he managed to get the doctor to reduce his fever and took a nap next to Phoenix. He couldn't risk leaving him alone in a house he wasn't familiar with. His sister would come at him with anger. He is awakened by small hands playing on his face. When he opened his eyes, he saw it was Phoenix, who seemed to have torn apart his pillows, as feathers were scattered all over the room. The fact that he didnât heard a thing is alarming. Phoenix was pretending his hand was a car, using it to drive along a makeshift road. His body lotion is smeared all over his hair, and his face and clothes are covered in cream.BANE'S POV"No way, what did you do to yourself?" I ask a playful Phoenix"Come on, I need to clean you up before that monster of a sister of yours finds you like this. What were you thinking?" He's giggling, probably thinking this is some sort of game, but it's seriousâif his sister sees him like this, I'm in big trouble. Wait
Darkness is often thought of as merely the absence of light, but I see it differently. To me, darkness feels like emptiness, loneliness, and fearâjust like what I experience. Being Bane's beta gives me a sense of belonging and a bit of humor; without that role in this Pack, I might have gone rogue long ago. My foster parents passed away when I was sixteen, but fortunately, I was strong enough to be left as beta. However, since then, the emptiness I've felt has only grown larger with each passing day.What frustrates me even more is the possibility that the new rogue girl, who is now Bane's personal maid, might be my biological cousin or sister. I can't prove this without her letting her find out. I've been looking into her background, but everything is unclear; every lead I find seems to hit a dead end. Sheâs been here for two weeks, and the only thing I can identify is that we share the same neckpiece and what appears to be a birthmark. I have it, and she has it too. Besides that,
A new day, a new me. I wish it worked that way, but it doesnât. Another day means another round of torment from the Alpha. After ensuring everything is settled with Phoenix, I head to the devil's house. I make him coffee and bring it to his study, only to find him on the floor, grunting. I place the coffee on his desk and rush to his side. "Bane!?" He continues to grunt, and I have no idea how to help him. I lay his head on my lap and try to soothe him. After what feels like an eternity, he finally calms down and rests against me. I breathe a sigh of relief, realizing heâs okay. "Ahh, look who decided to wake up." I find myself on his couch, which means I must have dozed off while comforting him. He actually carried me here? Maybe heâs not so bad after all. "When did I fall asleep, and why didnât you wake me?" He doesnât respond. "We have somewhere to be, so get up and letâs go." Any normal person would explain where weâre going and why, but Iâm stuck with someone who isnât exa
The calming sound of water pulls me from my restful sleep. I notice a hand wrapped around me, and as I try to shift, I realize I'm not in my own home. The arms around me belong to... whatâs her name again? Why havenât I asked her yet?In all my experiences sleeping with women, I've never allowed cuddling, yet here I am, comfortably nestled in the arms of this feisty girl.I find myself captivated by her lovely heart-shaped face, completely mesmerized. Some of her hair fell across her face, swaying gently with her breaths. I brushed it aside and tucked it behind her ear, revealing her stunning features.The woman before me embodies true beauty. Many might wonder why I'm admiring another girl when I have a fiancĂ©e, but the answer is simple: Candy, my betrothed, is attractive, but there's nothing else compelling about her.Yet, there's something about this girl that makes me want to learn more about her. Despite that, I still dislike her. She intimidates me and always wins our arguments
ANGELIQUE'S POVIt's the end of the workday, and I'm sitting impatiently in Bane's office. My tasks are complete, but I didn't have to do any of the work myselfâCarol handled everything. All I had to do was listen to her chatter all day.If only the Alpha would show up so I could leave and check on my brother.I'm anxiously waiting for him; he was supposed to arrive an hour ago, but here I am, reluctant to leave without his permission. If I did, he'd only punish me more, and I can't stand the thought of his anger. I may dislike him intensely, but I know he probably feels even worse about me, and right now, I don't want that animosity. Not that I want him to like me or anythingâI despise him with a passion that won't change.However, having him in a good mood would really help me out at the moment, as it would mean more time with Phoenix.The worst part is that I'm starting to feel sleepy, and if I doze off now, I might wake up late, making it unsafe for me to head home.I get up and s
