I got into the party arena, and my heart was racing fast. While I walked to the front, a familiar voice spoke in my head, "You can do it, Hilda; keep your head up high." I let out a breath of relief at that dose of encouragement.I stood up in front of everyone and paced around, snapping their faces, before I took the microphone from the anchor of the party, Mr. Cyprus. Mr. Cyprus came to me a few days ago and pleaded that I make him the anchor of the party, and I had to do it for him. He was another good human that was nice to me in the company."Good day, my distinguished gentleman and ladies... I paused a while to be certain of the aura I scented. My chest started to hurt, and the scent was drawing closer and closer until my nostrils were suffocated with that strawberry scent.Everyone snapped at me, wondering what was wrong with me."Take some water, Hilda; I see the pregnancy could be causing you to be weak and dizzy," Mr. Cyprus whispered to me before he opened the bottle of wat
HildaThe footsteps became louder, and I stood up, frightened. I snapped at a long iron rod and rushed to it. I grabbed it with my two hands while snapping through the room for when he showed up.The scent came right under my nose, and I turned around to lock eyes with none other than King Avalor. I shrieked aloud and stumbled backwards, holding the rod tightly."I found you, Hilda Storm, and you will not be able to escape me this time around." His voice sent chills through me."Any more steps closer, I will use this rod on your face." He smirked, Stalking closer, and I kept moving backward."You think I wouldn’t find you; your scent never left me for a second. The moment I entered the human realm, all I perceived was your scent, and the least place I expected you to be was in this kind of place.""How did you find out about my presence here?" I questioned."You must be very naive to ask that question. I traced your scent, and you are leaving this minute with me.""Over my dead body,
HildaI had been unconscious the moment we left the company for Richard Mansion. I had awoken the moment we got to the mansion. The guards helped me to my room, and the Doctor swiftly ran some checks on me.Aaaaaw!" I winced from the pain I felt from the bruises on my wrist as the doctor cleaned them off.He checked my blood pressure and listened to the heartbeat of my pups, and I was very anxious to know what he had to say."Your babies are doing all right; their heartbeats are as strong as before. You need to get some rest!" The doctor said this to me and slammed the door.I hope Richard is okay. The last time I saw him was in the ambulance.The doorbell rang.My heart raced and began thundering in my chest. I weakly stood up from the bed and reached out to the door. I gripped the door handle and twisted it to open it."You and I have a long talk, Hilda." Richard slipped inside with his bruised face and his hand all wrapped in bandages. His voice sent chills through my skin, and I g
HildaI opened my eyes and paced through the room, only for my eyes to fall on Richard. He was standing close to the door with his hands all folded around his chest.I stood up, wiped my sleepy face, and yawned, but immediately felt shy when it struck me that he was right at the door.I snapped the wall clock, and it was 10 a.m. in the morning. I sighed, wondering how it was possible I slept without opening my eyes all throughout the night."Good morning, Sir." I greeted him, and he just nodded at me without saying a word.I snapped at my wrist, but the bruise had all healed, and I hid my hand from his watch. trying to avoid him asking why I got so healed so fast. I rushed to the bathroom to freshen up while still worried about why he wouldn't talk to me but glared at me."I will be outside waiting for you to dress up. You can put on a beautiful dress; we are going somewhere." He said it coldly and left.What was going on with Richard? I haven't seen him with such a tight and mean fac
For more than 30 minutes, Richard stood in front of me with his hands all wrapped around his chest and wouldn’t say a word to me. The room was enveloped in silence, and his unstoppable glare gave me more fear.I stood up when I felt like using the restroom but felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground. Luckily, Richard grabbed me instead. While in his arms on the ground, tears drilled from his eyes and dropped right in my face. He glared directly into my eyes, and my entire body began trembling."Hilda!" He called my name before throwing his face up. He paused and took a deep breath."Why did you come into my life? Why did you awaken the love that was once dead? A few days before that very day I met you, I had returned from a vacation that I embarked on after my heart was broken into a million pieces when I found out that Sherry, my ex, was cheating on me. I had to travel to stay away from every memory of Sherry and me. I had told myself not to fall in love with anyone after what Sherr
Grabbing the envelope, my hands were all shaking, and my tears kept dropping on it while I tried to open it.I opened the envelope, and I found a long, handwritten note in it.I wiped my tears so as to see clearly what was written in them."Good morning, Hilda Storm!If you are reading this note, it is probably because I have left already." My heart began beating so fast that I shook my head, tapping my head, trying to trick myself into thinking that I was in a dream.It dawned on me that I was not dreaming the moment I screamed his name aloud and no one responded to me. I picked up the letter again with my hands shaking."You made my world colourful." I had so many plans for you. I loved you so much, and I hold nothing against you. I was ready to make you the queen of my empire. Sadly, I can’t take in a werewolf as a wife, especially someone whose clan murdered my parents."No, Richard, you can’t do this to me. I didn’t want to fall in love with you, but I had fallen in love with you
It was exactly 1 a.m. in the morning when I woke up to go to the restroom.Everywhere in my room smelled of strawberries and pineapple, and I wondered why. I just ignored them and went into the restroom."Ouch!!" I winced as my leg stumbled upon the side stool not far from the restroom entrance.I wobbled on with my hands on my waist, trying to find balance as my entire body was damn weak and my head spun.Just coming out of the restroom, I smelled that sweet scent again. The smell was so strong that evenWhile I was sleepy, it didn’t stop me from sniffing. So I decided to trace where it came from.I went from the room down to the living room, pacing through it to catch where the scent had come from. The thought of my reality hit me the moment I sat on the couch in the living room, as the memories of Richard and I were all in my head. Snapping around at the seat where we both had some lovely moments a few hours ago, Tears began rolling down my eyes to my cheek.I never knew what love
"Leave my apartment already and never return!" I screamed, pushing him away."I will leave Hilda, but you need to hear me out; I mean well for you. Please allow me to help you out.""I don’t need your freaky assistance; you are just being unnecessarily sarcastic, King Avalor. Everyone knows you could never want anything from me other than having my head chopped off." I smirked."Why are you taking time to kill me? Do it already and have that smug satisfaction you yell for." I inched away from him.He scurried closer, and I hit him. It felt like I was hitting her hands against a wall. His hard wall of muscle was as hard as that, and I winced.He held my waist, and I felt a bit of his thrubbling heart racing in his chest. I struggled with him to move away from me, but the more I tried to push him away, the more my body suddenly began feeling his contact. I jumped up and wiped my face."Please leave already, or I will call 911 on you this minute."I will leave right away, but don’t think
