~SabrinaI spent the whole day thinking about that night with James. It had changed everything for me. It had been two days already, and I still hadn't come to a conclusion yet, but I was halfway through making my decision. I needed to really think things through and be sure I was making the right choice.Suddenly, there was a knock on the slightly open door, startling me."Come in," I said without looking back as I was focused on the painting in front of me. I love painting; it is a medium to express my emotions. I do it quite often, especially when I am happy, as I am now."Ms. Sabrina, His Majesty demands your presence in his office."At his words, I faltered, my painting brush mistakenly making a mess on the drawing board. Hearing that Richard wanted to see me made dread cling to the walls of my stomach. I had been intentionally avoiding being in any room or space alone with him because he would want to bring up what had happened between us that night, and frankly, it wasn't a top
~SabastianIt has been months since I brought Athena back, and with each passing day, I watch her child grow in her belly; my hatred for her grows too. I can't wait to kill that child. I can't wait to unalive that bastard she is carrying. I make sure to tell her that every chance I get. She needs to know that her time is ticking. When the time comes and I yank the child out of her belly, she will end up dying too. Only then will I be able to experience maximum satisfaction."She would pay the ultimate price of death for cheating on us," my wolf growled."Yes, she will. We just have to wait a little longer until she is due.""That we can do. I hope it happens sooner than later, though. I hate her! I loathe that whore so much!"I understood just how much he hated her. These days, with her stomach getting bigger and bigger, I find myself hating her so much to the point that I didn't want to engage in sexual activities with her. It must be my wolf. Those were actually his true feelings to
~AthenaHow is this possible? How is she in front of me? I felt like I was dreaming. I blinked my eyes and rubbed them with the back of my hands to make sure it wasn't a dream.Just then, she rushed towards me, not knowing how to react, her tears falling freely down her face. I looked at Ms. Seline, who was standing behind her, and then back at her.I couldn't control the emotions that hit me all at once. My mother was standing right in front of me. The last person in this world I expected to see. Unable to control the impact of the feelings I had, I burst into uncontrollable tears."Mother, why did you forsake me?" My voice quavered. She shook her head as she cried her eyes out, falling to a squat few inches from me."I am so sorry, my daughter, I really don't know what came over me. I am sorry you have to go through all of this," she sobbed profusely.Despite hating her a little, I couldn't bear to see her cry. She looked so thin and frail. It was as though age had caught up with he
~RichardThe past few months have been quite miserable for me. With each passing day, I miss my brother. I miss the love, pain, and joy we shared as siblings growing up. If I could go back in time, with the knowledge I have now, I would have done things differently, and my brother would still be alive.All I have left of him now are memories which I promise to keep in my heart, never letting go until the day I die."Stop it, Ralph! Just stop it!" I warned sternly. He was doing it again, thinking about that wicked murderer who had betrayed us, bringing memories of her that I had buried deep within to the surface."You know I can't help it. She might be evil, but we still share a bond. She is still your mate," he retorted."She will cease to be as soon as I see her. I would stare into her eyes, deriving pleasure from the pain therein as I command her to submission and rip her apart!" I snarled, gritting my teeth in anger as my hands gripped tightly onto the arms of the seat I sat on."Y
~RichardI paced back and forth impatiently, awaiting the arrival of my chief guard and Athena's mother.Finally, I was getting closer to her; it was only a matter of time. Once I send her mother's head back to the Crimson pack, she would come. Oh, she would have no choice but to come.I took purposeful, long strides to my store where I stack my swords, with James following closely behind. As soon as I reached the door, I opened it and went straight to the sword rack, running my hand through the blunt side of the swords, gaining maximum satisfaction as I decided on which one to pick. I would have opted for a gun, but on second thought, letting her mother die from a gunshot would be too easy and painless, far from what she deserved.My brother was killed with a knife; it was only fair I return the favor by severing her mother's head with a sword. I bet that would do a cleaner job than my claws would. Being someone obsessed with precision, I bet she would love it too. A smile stretched
~ Richard"I was taken aback by her words. 'I have enemies within my pack?' What are the chances that what she just said is true? I understand it is quite difficult to find a pack without household enemies, but my pack is different. We are closely knitted; I can't even think of anyone close to me, nurturing thoughts to do me wrong.I assessed the woman who stared at me fearlessly and indulged her, eager to hear what more she had to say. "You said I have been lied to by my household enemies. Go on, tell me what lie I have been told," I arched a brow inquisitively.She was going to fumble at some point, and I knew it. I just couldn't wait for that to happen so James would also see how deserving of death she was."Your Majesty, as we speak, my daughter is languishing in the dungeon at Crimson wood pack, where she is being held hostage by Alpha Sebastian," she looked at James and then at me, waiting for her words to register before she continued, "He plans on killing her when she is due
~RichardAs I waited for James to return with Sabrina, I paced around, my mind filled with different thoughts. What if Sabrina is guilty? What if this woman was lying? It was a total tug of war. Being betrayed by one of my best friends would definitely hurt, but not as much as being betrayed by my wife, the person I had at a point in time trusted the most in this world despite knowing her for only a few weeks. The person I had given my whole body to, baring my heart and soul.I hadn't even properly allowed myself to grieve; what I did was channel my pain and hurt to hatred towards her. Only her death will pacify me, I believed, and I was at a point of no return. If she actually killed my brother, then she must die too.Sounds of measured footsteps reached me. They were here. I paused and fixed my eyes on the door, waiting for them to walk through it.Sabrina sauntered in, with an air of pride and aloofness about her. Her red hair hanging loose on her shoulders. Her sharp emerald gree
~ AthenaI had been waiting all day for Ms. Seline to walk in through the door. This was unusual; she usually visited to issue an instruction from the Alpha or bring my food to me, but since morning, I haven't caught a glimpse of her. What could be wrong? Could it be that the king found out what happened and decided to punish her?Was my mum even able to make it to Richard? There was no way for me to find that out. I felt frustrated and seriously disturbed by the fact that I was clueless about the happenings outside the four corners of this dungeon.All of a sudden, the gate to the dungeon swung open, pulling me from my thoughts as I immediately sprang up to my feet despite being weak as I had no water or food all day, hoping to see Ms. Seline. But to my dismay, Alpha Sebastian stood at the doorway. I heaved a sigh of dejection as I slowly fell to a squat, hugging my legs.Just like the past few days, he had let me be the previous night after he returned from his ritual.I was quite h
