She closed her eyes and took in his masculine scents. Only the heavens knows how much she has waited for a time like this to come. A time when she can hug Lucas and take in all his scents." You smell of alcohol" she drawl." Is there something on your mind?" Clarissa asked again and Lucas released her grip from his waist.He took few steps forward and dipped his hands in his pant pockets." What do you want Clarissa? Why are you here?" Lucas asked . No one knows what was going on in his mind. How back was straight and voice distant."Like I said earlier, I brought you snacks" Clarissa replied meekly." Aren't you suppose to be leading the hunting team tonight? " Lucas asked again with a hint of annoyance in his voice. On a normal day, he wouldn't sound cold and distance to Clarissa because he believes women shouldn't be treated coldly but right now, everything annoys him . Even the slightest provocation." I got some bruises from the woods yesterday so I'm resting"" Did see Ariel in
Trigger warning!!!This chapter contains violence and other traumatizing contents.Irene quickly put the pill in a glass of water and gave it to Ariel to drink." Trust me Ariel. It's not harmful" Irene said with puppy eyes when she saw the look on Ariel's face. She took the cup from Irene and gulped the content down. Her face turned horrible when the taste of the pill hits her tongue.She looked below and saw young girls being dragged by the women. Their hands were tied behind their backs. Wailing and screaming escaped from their lungs as they were lead away like cattles taken to the slaughter." This is how it's done. Those without power don't deserve to live" Serena said beside Ariel and she just give her the cold shoulder. she thought her mother was a good person but she never expected her to be so heartless and cold blooded." With time, you will understand everything I'm doing when you become the queen"" To hell with being the queen" Ariel spat with venom in her voice . The ma
The chanting continues, all eyes were on Dino and Ariel. Apart from this being a welcoming ritual, this ritual is also a marriage rite for those that understand the meaning.Dino was beyond excited because he had waited all his life for this day to come. A day he could finally washed the foot of his betrothed, a day they will be bond together as one. He bent his head forward and placed his lips on Ariel's ankle. Her stomach twisted in disgust from his gesture. She tried to retract her leg from his grip but it was fruitless. He was stronger than her and her foots were at his Mercy." Leg so white as Jade" he mumbled and planted another kiss on it before massaging her toe. His massaging skills were so good that Ariel almost forget that she's in the middle of a ritual and not a spa.She wanted to yell and cuss him but remembered the rules forbids her from talking. She could only vent her anger in her heart and with her piercing glare.' Dino! I swear I will kill you if you do that again
A month has gone by since Ariel went missing from the pack. Lucas has tried all he could to find her. The mating ceremony is in two days time and the royal family are restless. Especially Graco who's afraid Lucas might let the the leadership of the pack go to his beta." Are you sure you don't want to do this?" Graco asked with his hand gripping the seat arm. Judging from his tone, one could tell that Lucas has been pissing him off with his decisions lately." I'm sure father. Ariel is my mate and I can't replace her with Clarissa" Lucas replied and the alpha shook his head in annoyance." We're not saying you should replace her with Clarissa." His mother chirped in and placed her hand on his shoulder gently." What are you insinuating then?" Lucas asked and Luna Alice sighed. She clamped her hands together and strode to where her husband is seated." What we are saying is that, during the mating ceremony, you will present Clarissa as your mate but we won't reveal her face. You know i
~~third realm~~ Darkness covered the room, a woman can be heard mumuring incoherent words. Sweat dripping off her face on the mini bed she laid on. Her hands gripped the sheets and her dark hair laid splattered on the pillow." Don't leave me" the words left her mouth. Tears streaming down her face.She snapped her eyes opened and quickly sat up on the bed. She lit the candle by her bedside with shaking hands and a scream left her mouth when a little mouse ran over her legs.She walked to corner of the room and poured herself a cup of water from the jar. She gulped the water down and wiped her mouth with the back of her hands before going back to sit on the bed.For the first time, the door to the dungeon quacked and got opened. Her eyes darted towards the door with Sparks of light in them. Finally someone came." Irene?" Ariel called with excitement in her voice but was quickly replaced with coldness and disgust." What are you doing here?" Ariel asked coldly. The event of what happe
" you jump in" irene replied and freaked out. she wrapped her arms around herself and sat on a stone next to irene. " good job irene" ariel said like a teacher who's commending her student. " for what?" irene asked innocently. she really don't know why ariel was commending her. " for wanting me dead" ariel replied and irene jaw dropped. " Okay joke apart. Come wash up. We have alot to talk about" Irene said and lead Ariel to the lake." Before entering the lake, you need to get rid of the flowers. Didn't your teacher teach you to get rid of the obstacles first? " Irene sneered. She clamped her hands together, her forefingers tips touching each other. Ariel watched her as she perform the spell. The flowers withered away and Irene opened her eyes.Ariel just cock her head to one side . She wore a straight look on her face." I'm not surprised" Ariel snapped at Irene and stepped over the withered flowers. They felt soft and smooth other her legs." Aren't you going to ask me if the wate
The pack throne hall was filled to the brim. Whispers and gossips can be heard from every angle as everyone waits for the mating ceremony to begin." I heard the Alpha's mate ran away. Do you think he would mate with another woman tonight?" A lady asked her friend who was sitting next to her." I bet he would mate with another woman tonight. Who would want to loose something so important as the throne because of a woman" The other lady replied and the first lady nod in agreement. " You have a point but I wonder why someone will leave a handsome man like the alpha or could it be he doesn't know how to dig?" The first lady asked and the other lady's eyes popped out of their sockets curiously." Dig what?" She asked." Dig the hole. The hole you and I have" the first lady replied and the other lady's face flushed with embarrassment." Does it really matter? His eyes alone can make me cum " " Shh the ceremony is about to commence. " The first lady hushed her friend before she continue wi
Luna Alice's face hardened. Her hands gripping the arm of the chair. Her chest rising and falling in fast pace. " How dare she" Luna Alice said in between gritted tooth. Graco placed his hand upon her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. Athonio and Clarissa stood before Lucas who was toying with a lollipop in his mouth. Eating lollipop was a new habit he developed after Ariel dissapeared. His heart thumped in his chest but he tried his best to remain calm. He bite on the lollipop and raised his head up to look at Athonio in the eyes. The lollipop dangled in his mouth sexily and Clarissa bite on her lower lips. " Never knew you found your mate already" Lucas said more like a mocking and Athonio smiled at him. He tightened his grip around Clarissa's hand and placed a warm kiss on her forehead. " At least she won't run away or disappear" Athonio mocked and Lucas jaw clenched together. He unwrapped another lollipop and placed it in his mouth. " Let the beta's mating ceremony begin" Lu
