MagnusI don’t know why I go back to the residence of the Alpha. I kid myself I need to take some paperwork and some clothes but I want to be here. At least while her smell still lingers. I stayed locked in my office for the rest of the day and drunk all my stock in vodka and I am finally having that light buzz. But it’s not enough. I need to be drunk tonight. Luckily, I have more vodka here.I go straight to the bar, searching for a bottle when my eyes fall on the sofa. We never even sat down like normal beings to watch a goddamn movie. But then again, watching a movie with your blackmailer is not a fun night, is it?I take the whole bottle of vodka and I gulp it down as fast as I can. I need to be unconscious this first night without her. The more I sniff the air and she is still here, the more I drink. It may be sick but I think I will sleep in her room tonight. Maybe she will come in my dreams at least.“You are late!” Antiope’s voice cuts through the silence.Fuck, I am going mad
AntiopeGoddess, grant me strength! I pray as his lips lick mine and I lose command of my body. I was attracted to him before but now there is no stopping it, no putting logic in the middle, not thinking what has transpired between us. There is only the fire on my skin that makes me hotter as he caresses me with fervor."Älskling,” he sucks the skin on my mark and I moan.“I... need to learn some Swedish.”“I’ll teach you,” he smiles against my mouth and picks me up.He goes up the stairs to his room and he doesn’t stop kissing me. He lets the moonlight shine in and he kneels on his bed, letting me gently on the mattress. I look into his eyes and I can’t resist the feelings I see in there.“I want you, Magnus.”“I want you too. I will be gentle for the first time, mate,” he smiles and I blush. “But after that, I can’t make any promises.”My mouth falls open at his statement. Does he know I am a virgin? I feel blood fill my face and I hide it in my hands.“Nothing to be embarrassed, li
MagnusI am up the same time I wake up for most of my life but this time not because sleep never came due to my nightmares but due to my uncontained happiness. When Antiope curled with her back into me and slept blissfully, I just couldn't stop looking at her, caressing her hair that spilled on the pillow. She is so beautiful, my exotic beauty, the woman that was made for me to give me a chance at happiness. I still can't believe that the Moon Goddess granted me Antiope for I do not deserve her. And I will spend the rest of my life to prove worthy. She whimpers lightly and stirs, coming even closer and as she moves, I see my dried seed on her. She didn't even complain after I forced myself to let her rest and she slept without cleaning up. And seeing her like this, sated, calm and marked by me, I stir. I can't hold back, I can't resist, I don't want to stop. I pull her closer and I push her leg to get her open for me. I fall like an entranced man on her mark and she moans in her sl
AntiopeThe Butcher. Now it all makes sense. Why people fear him. Why they avoid his glance. I was right the first time I saw him at the Mating Hunt. A ruthless Alpha. A hard male. A ferocious wolf. A Viking warrior that brings death and destruction.That seems so long ago as if it was in another lifetime. How many times my life was turned upside down since the day I received the Royal Invite to the Hunt? And through all these twists and turns, I ended up right where I was meant to be in the first place. I was a fool to doubt the Moon Goddess.I never would have thought I would be mated with a male like him. That I would see his hard side and push through to see the real him. To listen to the reason why he became that vicious wolf everyone fears. Why no one dares to cross him or his territory. Until now. At the thought, I frown. Why now?Magnus groans pitifully and ends my wonderings. I pierce through the bond and his ache hits me hard. He truly believes I will leave him. Why now and
MagnusThis is bad. Too bad. So bad. How the Hell did the Royal Guard let that happen? Sure, their main job is to keep the Alpha King alive and well and guard his family and not so much to care for the rest in the line. And since they had done their job impeccably- Almost.My mind goes back to the times I had to save Sigvard. The Royal Guard was there and did their part but I am fairly certain that if I was not there, Sigvard wouldn't draw breath to deliver all those smug remarks."Magnus?" Antiope asks.Fuck, my Luna opened a can full of worms and just in time. There is something seriously rotten here and I am scared to think how far it will go.I cross the room and go straight to her. I pick her up and gather her to me. I know I am grabbing too tight but the thought alone that I might lose her. People would want to harm her to harm me. Is this a greater punishment from the Moon Goddess for the atrocities I harbored? Give me a mate, show me how it is to love and then take it away fro
AntiopeI wake up completely disoriented but satisfied as Hell. I sit up and I look around. I am by the lake still. A smile blooms on my face. The day had been one of the best in my life. It would have been the best if the threat of something ominous wasn't looming over us. Other than that, it was perfect.I stretch my limbs and enjoy that sweet fatigue I still feel on my body. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that we are both virgins that makes us insane with want and uncontrollable passion. I simply can't get enough of him, of every inch of his body, of every little expression on his face. And my body can't get enough of his, no matter how many times he makes me come screaming his name.Thinking of the delicious things he did to me all through the night, my body comes to life. There is one thing missing: Magnus. He is not by my side. I glance at the lake hoping to see him swim in the water with his strong arms and then come to me - hopefully naked - with droplets of wate
AntiopeAll around me chaos. Everyone is either screaming or growling or crying. We are back in Magnus’s office and the Council is losing it fast. Magnus is caught! Magnus is held and we don’t know by whom and what for.“Kill them all! Attack!” Torhild proposes for the millionth time.“Calm down,” Egil tries. “We need to know what we are up against.”“Our Alpha,” someone laments.And me? I have both hands on his desk, my back on the others, barely holding it together. He is gone. One night with him. That’s all I got. One night. And now he is gone. He is not dead, I would know by the sheering pain in my very soul but other than that I know nothing. He could be in pain, hurt, tortured. Goddess! I squeeze my eyes together.Why did I have to connect the dots? Why did he have to be that foolish? Why am I not there with him? Why? Why? Why?“Let’s go to them,” Max is begging me constantly.Her pain is greater than mine. She is an animal and she has two basic needs: survive, procreate. And th
MagnusAntiope, Antiope, Antiope, Antiope. That’s all I can think about. A constant prayer that I foolishly believe it could become a magic spell to make her appear before me. No!I would never wish for Antiope to see me like this ever. It would break her heart and I would die seeing her hurt once more because of me. One night together. That’s all we got. If I never see her again, I will always remember her spread on that shore after the night we spent together. I will die with the memory of that soft, sated smile on her lips.“We are going to see them again,” Henrar refuses to give up and I thank him for that.I look around once more in despair. I have no way of knowing where exactly we are but I know we are North. The dark cave is hidden deep but I would recognize that sharp cold anywhere in the world. Maybe norther than my borders, in the territory of the Rogue King perhaps. Though I have smelled no rogues. I am up against an enemy I do not know and that makes him the greatest thre
The fact that she expressed an interest in developing a romantic connection with my brother Michael is something I cannot allow to happen. Trying to figure out if she was trying to murder him or try to take him into the spirit realm. That is something I cannot allow to happen at this moment in time. I have a strong hunch that she is not a human person at all, no matter what she may be trying to convince me of. I'm not sure what she wants with my family, but I have a strong hunch that she isn't a regular human being in the traditional sense of the word. I don't trust it for one second.When one of my classmates approached me, I was completely immersed in my own thoughts and emotions.Rose, please accept my greetings. How are things going for you right now?When I turned around, I saw that Ruth had been standing behind me all along.Ruth, please accept my greetings. How are things going for you right now? What brought you to this particular location? Maybe you weren't intended to be in
I'm not sure what I'd say to Michael if he discovered the truth about me and realized that everything he had learned about me had been fault. I was relieved to see him once again as his car drew up in front of the house and parked there. He observed me sitting outside and staring at him, so I gave him a kind grin and said, "Welcome back," as if he had entirely forgotten about me.Upon inquiring about whether or not I had eaten anything, the gentleman displayed genuine concern for my well-being and enquired as to my eating patterns, to which I answered yes, causing him to question me once again about my eating habits.Adama, It is recognized that you do not consider yourself to be a part of our family, and that my sister has no interest in you, but please allow us to be of assistance to you regardless of your feelings toward this family. The story you told me about your family left me with the impression that you were giving me the truth or that you were engaging in a sophisticated de
Rosa won't like me no matter what I do, and I'm well aware that if she finds out the truth about my relationship with her, she would do everything in her ability to make my life as unpleasant for the rest of her life. Finally, it doesn't matter whether she likes me or not; her brother has been nothing but gracious to me, and I can't imagine hurting any of them by standing up for what I believe is right in this situation.The moment Rose ran up behind me and threw me to the ground, my attention was completely diverted away from what was going on in front of me. I'd completely lost my sense of direction at this point.Even if you walk into my office claiming to be in need of assistance, I will immediately learn that you are not a human being at all, but rather a member of my family who requires a certain degree of care and attention. It has been revealed to me the truth about you, and I am confident that you will never be successful in your campaign against the interests of my family's
Why should my brother have to go through the trouble of inviting someone he doesn't know seems unfair to me. Due to the fact that she is a lunatic, this is exacerbated even further. I know you all think I'm wrong, but don't you think she could be a spy or an evil witch, in addition to being a lunatic, to be considered? She has also come to believe that she is each and every one of the families she has been assigned to destroy, which has made the situation even worse. After thinking about it, I decided that my brother shouldn't go to the trouble of bringing someone he doesn't know. I asked him why he thought it was necessary. What makes matters worse is the question of whether she is, in this specific instance, a ghost or whether she is merely behaving in an atypical manner. If she turns out to be some type of malevolent spirit or animal, may God protect us from her evil ways. It is extremely dangerous for my family and me to be alive. Do you think she's a beast or an evil spirit, or s
The number of times I woke up during the night was so numerous that I didn't let it stop me from going around the house and keeping my attention locked on everyone who was sleeping until the lights were turned back on. Afterwards, I went into my room a few minutes later, where I closed my eyes almost immediately and fell asleep virtually instantly. Getting to sleep this evening was not a difficult feat for me to accomplish. When I realized Michael's eyes were closed, my thoughts raced through my head, and the only thing I could muster was a quick thank you before slamming the door shut behind me and fleeing into my room. The previous evening, Michal, who happened to be my roommate at the time of this particular incident, and I had both been in the same room when we both experienced an equally awful experience, which we shared with each other. Because of the various favors Michael has done for me over the years, I felt compelled to show my gratitude to him for his aid and support throu
When my father asked me again whether I could tell them about the mad lady or how she knew my name, I was at a loss for words. When he inquired again, I was absolutely lost in contemplation.What prompted the convening of this meeting, and what are your views on the subject?Everyone was waiting for me to speak up in order to ascertain what was wrong. I turned my gaze upward and attempted to speak, but all that came out was the sound of a silent syllable. I placed my hands on my head and gazed down before returning my gaze to my parent.Micheal If you convene this gathering and are unprepared to speak, you should rise and exit immediately.I did pause to allow Mom to finish her sentence before speaking.I came across an insane woman.Everywhere was silent, and no one was audible. I looked at my sister, who gave me a puzzled look as if to say, and why are you telling us this?"Son, what happened and what was significant about this last last?" my father inquired once more. There are oth
Michael is my given name. I come from a wealthy family and have been blessed abundantly.Allow me to begin by not mentioning my parents; I was the first child and my parents desired that I marry as soon as possible. I frequently pass by a street called Ajegunle.I was constantly going to see friends or stopping by if I had any work; there is one crazy lady who I always see whenever I pass by. But this one is different; I saw the majority of insane people walk by constantly while this one stayed still and sat in a specific spot without saying anything; I saw how people dropped the majority of their leftovers for her and felt pity; what a pretty woman will turn insane only God knows what she did to earn this situation.She was naked and she was not truly insane; every time I pass by that location, she is all there.So one day, I came down from my car to get a snack because I was so hungry. As I approached the mad lady, my name was called out."MICHAEL".I turned around and saw no one ca
I never considered life to be so bleak, but if I had known that this would be my final day on earth, I would have made amends.I was hoping that after all the wrongs and bad things I had done, God would still have mercy on me. I walked down the road to get some drugs for my mother; she needed some drugs to help her calm down a bit. If the walls could speak to me, I would never have left home.I had the distinct impression that I was constantly being watched, but I had no idea it was this serious.I wished this world would swallow me whole and I would never be heard from again, but the look at me thing isn't working and I felt as though everyone was against me, but what could I do or say?After I obtained the drugs and was returning home, a car pulled out and two men exited, and I was dragged inside. I saw another guy, but his face was obscured by a handkerchief, and before I knew it, everything had turned black.I awoke and found myself tied and in an unknown location. I was terrified
I understand that you may despise me for the sins I did, but one thing I am certain of is that God does not despise me.I make every effort to make everyone happy for me, yet all they care about is obtaining whatever they can and then ditching me. I'll look at my mother and cry because she's not the same as she was before my father's death; I'm trying to be decent and nice and to put things right; I'm aware that I've made a lot of mistakes in the past, but I want to remedy them all.Remember when I told you about the guy at my school who wanted to date me? Well, guess what guys, he raped my friend and she became pregnant; I'm not sure if it was rape or she desired it, but I was relieved it wasn't me at the time.I had a buddy named Chiso; I'm not sure how to characterize her, but she's a mischievous young lady.She pays me a visit at work at night and suggests that we go to a club after I finish.I've always refused her and never committed such an act in my life.My mother abused her
