The Black Stygian packs were in complete serenity as midnight comes, only the sound of the trees crashing to each other as the wind pass by. Everyone was resting aside from Rosa who was looking at the moon brightly.“I thought you’ll be leaving the pack in no time. What happened.” A gorgeous man walks towards her, his scarlet eyes reflected with the help of the light of the moon.It wasn’t a question, but rather a sentence full of doubt, and only a confirmation and explanation from her will ease it.“I changed my mind.” Rosa bit her lip before drinking the wine in her left hand, her trembling numbness didn’t escape from Alpha Priam’s peripheral.“I wonder why. Was it because you don’t have the passport now, and can’t leave the country, as you gave it to her, to escape.”Rosa was stunned but not surprised anymore, the Alpha was smart enough. But she still tried to cover her anxiousness with a fake smile.“What are you talking about Alpha Priam? Of course, it was in my drawer, I just th
‘How on earth does he able to enter my unit?’ It was a huge question, as the door was locked when I entered. There’s no sign that it has been a break. It was also impossible that he jumps off from the ground to my veranda, as far as I remember, my unit is on the fiftieth floor.His crimson eyes were piercing me.“I told you, we have the same blood running in our veins.” I reminded him trying to strengthen my voice, but beneath was a fear that slowly succumb to my system.“Oh really huh, then why aren’t you shifting sweetie? And your smell was different.” He shot back, wearing a wide grin on his face.‘Get yourselves together, Chandria.’“Maybe accepting Britanny’s offer was your biggest regret at this moment huh? That brat somehow chose a perfect portrayer for her, but unfortunately not my fiancée but an ideal meal for tonight.”Being weak is the last thing I should think of, there’s no one here to save me. I hurriedly run towards the kitchen and got the biggest knife I have and point
Waking up in the unfamiliar dungeon of pain, my face twitch as a strike of torment rushed to my left leg.“Don’t move. The medicine will take time to effect and lessen the pain.” It was a familiar voice of a man, that send terror to my whole system.‘How did he find me?’ Is that mean, he saved me from the cops? And I wasn’t dreaming all along.“If you were trying to hide from everyone, you shouldn’t have made a noise like that.” He added, he could probably read questions inside of my head, when he throws me a cold gaze, his scarlet eyes were reflecting the sunlight’s array.“I-I didn’t do it.”“I know.” He looks away and took a sip in a mug he was holding. I just notice where we are, it looks like we’re on the highest floor of a building. I can’t help but be amazed at the expensive-looking buildings that surround us, it could be seen as the walls were made of thick glass, but transparent. ‘Does he owns this?’“We’re still in Chicago Illinois.”“But we will be leaving tonight.”“W-Wh
But to the Alpha’s surprise, Chandria slowly stands up even though she’s having a hard time walking with her injured left leg. The Alpha tried to maintain his composure and looks unbothered, it took time before Chandria reach her…“What do you think you’re doing…” He wasn’t able to finish his sentence when Chandria started kneeling in front of him, and her tears slowly glistened as it cascades down her cheeks.“P-Please Alpha, d-don’t hurt Chantal.”In the middle of their flight, there’s this woman injured kneeling in front of the Alpha, crying and begging for her sister’s life.“Please leave Chantal alone, you can do anything to me, make me your slave…”“No.” Alpha Priam’s firm voice was in finality.“Can you bring back my father’s life?” The Alpha suddenly asked, and the woman look at him with her pitiful eyes. It was full of concern and fear, based on Alpha’s observation. The woman loves her sister even though the latter treated her badly.“If you can do that… then I’ll spare your
“Luna Chantal has been freed by Alpha Priam, instead of killing her. According to Rosa, the Silver Mist Pack was about to attack around midnight, and they called for a backup from their allied pack.” Those were the words that greeted us when we arrived at the pack early this morning. I shortly glanced at Alpha Priam whose face remains blank as usual. They let Chantal go? That’s quite a relief to know. I’ve been overthinking the entire flight what’s going on here if they were torturing my sister because based on what the Alpha and I talked about back in the plane, he seemed determined to kill my sister. “Please call Rosa, I need to talk to her tomorrow.” Alpha Priam replied. ‘Oh no, was Rosa in trouble for freeing my sister?’ The latter just nods before bowing his head, his stolen glance didn’t escape from my eyes. He looks awkward looking at me, and so do I. Since Falcon, one of the Alpha men still carries me. Alpha Priam leaves without saying a word but the man carrying me seem
It was like a bomb exploded in front of our faces. Celestine hurriedly down the pack while I was left alone in here, I wanted to run too. I wanted to see her, but my legs won’t let me. Until I just found myself lying on the floor as I stare at the pack and a group of Alpha Priam’s men who carries lifeless bodies. My heart wrenched at the sight, and my body was getting numb.Cries… Agony. The night was filled with it, while I’m here helpless, and can’t do a thing, rather let the tears freely cascade down my cheeks.I still remember how Rosa helps me, how she let me escape this cruel faith of mine. The last time we see each other was when we were in a car that was supposed to be Chantal’s day of the abduction. She let me borrow her identity and live the life that she’s been dreaming of. I stole the time from her, and it’s frustrating to think that she wasn’t able to do what she wants because of me.I closed my eyes, I felt like I lost a mother. It was tormenting.Until sunrise, I didn’t
Brittany. ‘How on earth?’“Let’s go Chandria,” Celestine uttered, and Falcon carried me out of the room.As our eyes met, there was nothing but…Hatred.“Leave us alone, Falcon. I’ll take care of her, thank you.” Celestine gently helps me stand after Falcon put me down.To my shock, I didn’t notice that we were in my room already.“Chandria, you should’ve fought,” Celestine commented as long as I was able to sit on the mattress. She started removing the bandage on me, as it was tainted by blood already.“Calista has been always a war freak since she was a kid and….”“Rosa has a daughter?” I asked cutting her off. She stops what her doing and looks me in the eyes. She heaved a deep sigh and smiled a bit, “Yeah. She said, she throws her out in the human world so she would have a different destiny. She even told me that she was gaining all her strength and courage to meet her and tell her that she’s mother…”That’s the reason why she was prepared to live in the city.“But…”“It didn’t ha
“No, it was my mother’s real name, right? Should I call you Chandria then?” Britanny’s voice mixed with the sound of the rain drop on the ground, and this time I met her gaze.“It was your fault, I wasn’t able to see my mom alive, because of you.” She continued, and walk towards me. The black heels she is wearing made her more look dominating at this moment with me kneeling on the floor.“I wanted to slap you so hard. I wanted to strangle your hair...”“Then do it…” I cut her off.“If that would ease the pain, then do it,” I added, I understand her. She needs someone who’ll take all her pain, and if that would be me, then that would be better. I hope, at least.“No, I want you to bring all the guilt in those hearts of yours. I won’t lay you a finger, rather I’ll make you remember day by day that you are the reason why a daughter who yearns for her mother’s touch for years will never be able to experience a such dream.” Despite the water that was flowing on our faces, I saw how her te
