PIERRE POV The middle of the day was upon us when we finally left our huts, armed up and ready for the big hunt. And by armed up, I mean with backpacks and water bottles. Hydration is important, everybody.I stood outside our hut watching groups and groups of people disappearing into the trees covered in winter crisp, the vigor, and laughter evident with a boom in the air. I could feel a vibrant sensation bubbling through me, a different kind of excitement that made it impossible to stand still. I started bouncing on my leg as I impatiently waited for Sebastian to finish gearing up. As more and more seconds ticked by, and I lost my cool:“Baaaaaabe…” I screamed looking over my shoulder before stomping softly. A soft and muffled “coming” was heard before Sebastian emerged from the door wearing a hooded orange puffer jacket with black sweats. He had a cross-body bag strapped inside the jacket, his long thick hair tied up in a man bun. His pale skin and his deadly alluring eyes were j
POSEIDON POVSomething was wrong. I couldn’t quite put a finger on it, but there was something that was quite out of place. You know, that tactile sense of something being utterly wrong, but you don't know what it was. I couldn't quite shake off the feeling and it was unnerving.I have recently felt things I never knew I was capable of feeling, emotions that had me wondering about all the things in this life that could have led me to this moment. It took the greatest amount of soul searching and introspection to come to some ground level and finally agree with myself that I was an A-class asshole. And this time, I meant it. And it’s funny because it took my favorite person hating my guts to come to those terms. And right now I was still battling with the idea of just… letting go. Everyone’s right hey. I don’t deserve Pierre.And as much as I hated to admit it, the truth was staring at me with a big 'i told you so' smirk. And I hated it. I was just about to leave for the hunt
PIERRE POVIt was much more than I had expected. We were once again sitting in the lounge, stomachs full, with the sound of fire roaring in the distance. I was sitting front and center of the room, legs folded Indian style as I continued losing my head over the pleasantries I found because honey; they were more than pleasant. The mood was the easy one with everyone over with the whole hunt thing, and I was lavished entirely by their attention as my finger worked on yet another box of the many I had found during the hunt. At some point, I thought that Poseidon had given me some cheat map so that I can horde everything to myself because What in the actual hell?Although I had an almost permanent grin on my face, I just couldn’t help the nervous uneasiness that trickled through my body like molten lava, slow and unbothered heating my skin here and there with a kindled flame. In my busy state and the foolproof bubble, Sebastian wrapped me in, I was very much aware of that icy cold se
PIERRE POVThe tension was louder than the crackling of the wood in the raging fire, slicing through the air with a sound much rowdier than the plastic wraps when they collided with the hard, carpeted floor. I was shaking and still spooked from what had just happened, and I fell back to the couch like a dead weight of muscles and bones. I had an unmistakable thrum on two sides of my head, the adrenalin wearing off leaving my body tingling and my pulse skyrocketing. My eyes were snapped so wide that air felt like the tips of the dirty toothpick that kept pricking my eyeballs. I have never seen Sebastian so angry before. Forget about Queen B and her extensions that were plucked out, she brought THAT to herself. Even Poseidon’s charade of saving the damsel in distress was pretty much predicted. We saw it in a mile. One for sure was that she was not going to let her be wronged, not while he was there and still breathing. Poseidon may bang his fist against the ground and proclaim that
PIERRE POVLove is pale with black eyes and long hair.And I am the biggest, happiest fool of all time. Those were the two conclusions I came to learn after spending a week in Peddocks Islands. Nevertheless, by the time my feet touched the ground, I had pretty much settled with my heart and thought, and my mind just stamped everything into place. I guess that’s how the biggest, life-changing decisions are made. With a peaceful mind, lips pressed to the neck and a hand nuzzled in warmth. It may take a very long time to get rid of the thorn in my flesh, the ache chaffing me slowly underneath my ribs with a low thrum, and it may take a lot of fights and some highs and lows between Sebastian and me, but since the universe brought us together, I was never going to leave his side. It was him that fate brought me to, and it was him my soul sang for. That only was enough to seal everything into place,As for who made my heart jump, and my skin buzz, that was the last thing I wanted to dw
PIERRE POV“YOU KNEW?” The betrayal in Gabriel’s voice was a living entity that wrapped its fingers around my throat. A dull ache unfurled in my stomach, bloating me and filling me with hot air. I ballooned with pain and all the horrible things I could ever think of, but what I hated the most was the fact that all the anger seemed to be directed elsewhere, at my mom.Probably because she was an easy target and the nearest to feel the scorching heat of Gabriel’s wrath. It was so justified for him to be angry, but being angry at my mom made no sense. She did not play matchmaker and prepared a bed full of roses for Poseidon and I. Hell, she was just as shocked when she found out about our affaire du cœur. Talk about unfairness if you know one. “All this time, you knew that this wench has been sleeping with my son, in my fuckin’ house Adelaide, and you did not think of letting me know?” Cold fingers of fear and pain raked the length of my spine, a shiver rolling through my entire be
PIERRE POVMorning came sooner than I had hoped, and panic swept across my tongue like gravel when my hand came in contact with an empty, ice-cold pillow. My mind had registered for something alive and warm, not the cold that stabbed through my palm and permeated through the haze of sleep. I shot out of bed, eyes snapped wide, and pulse thrumming frantically on the sides of my head. My tongue wrung dry, and tears burned the back of my eyes as they threatened to spill.Sebastian was many things. He was a jealous lover, a possessive partner who enjoyed domination. He was everything bundled up in perfection and paleness, but he was not the kind to leave me all by myself.And the realization warmed my insides like sun rays on piles of snow.I charged towards the kitchen with my heart hammering painfully against my chest. I was just about to round the corner when I was greeted by the fresh scent of pancakes and strawberries.Fear melted to placidity when I rounded the corner and found hi
SEBASTIAN POVSomebody once said; “if you love something, let it go. If it was meant to be, it will come back to you.”I guess it’s time to test the theory. ~~~PIERRE POVThere were a few rules I set for myself following the whole Poseidon escapade.Never be in the same room with the blue-eyed monster, unchaperoned. Never let my heart dwell on the hurt of the past. Never let my heart flutter upon the vicinity of a said somebody. I have had my fair share of heartbreak that I needed something to keep me in check. Heck, I was not even 18 yet, though I knew all there was to know about bleeding hearts and chest pains. I was doing pretty fine keeping myself in the lane with the thoughts of Sebastian accompanying me all the way. That was all until my meeting with Gabriel. Yeah well, he was really the blood of Poseidon. They do say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.Something about them just had to disrupt anything peaceful. It was as if peace was not allowed to be anywhere in
