Cruella stared at the bullet as it approached her in a surprisingly slow manner, contrary to her expectations. She moved out of the way and caught the bullet to avoid it hitting Carly. Again it was a silver bullet, and could have actually hurt her, had time not slowed down a bit. Cruella turned back to Zina, exhaled heavily then shut her eyes. When she opened them back, her eyes were glowing bright crystal blue and a wave of wind exploded from around her, enveloping them all in what seemed like a barrier. She walked closer to Zina and noticed the faint but slightly noticeable bite marks on her neck, which made her frown a bit. “So that's why you were able to figure it all out? It seems I'm not your first encounter with supernatural beings.” Cruella said as she placed her hand on Zina's neck. The marks began to clear off until there was no evidence left. As it did so, Cruella got a vision of a little girl crying in a car that had just been involved in an accident. The little girl wa
Cruella sat on the grass, her head resting on the marble stone as she cried her heart out. The stone had a bold inscription of the name, Swayer Sapphire. “You're probably the only human who remembers me now, if only you were alive as well.” Cruella said, her tears freely flowing down her face. She raised her head from the marble, and wiped her eyes. She stared at Swayer's name and ran her finger through the inscription.“I'm so sorry, Swayer. For everything. It was all my fault and I know it now. You didn't deserve any of it, and I wish I could take it back, all of it.” she sniffed.“You probably hate me by now. Like Mrs. Cushion said, You're probably disgusted —”“No she's not.” Cruella turned to her side in shock and her eyes widened a bit.“Sebastian?” She called just to be sure he was the one.“I'm certain wherever she is, she's really proud of you.” Cruella turned to her left and her eyes widened even more.“Jason,”“Like we all are.” She heard another voice turned in the direct
When Carly and Cruella left the room, they ran into China who had a scowl on her face.“Well someone seems to be having a bad night.” Carly said with a smirk and China rolled her eyes.“I don't have time to waste on the likes of you.” China responded and made to walk past them but halted. Her gaze shifted to Cruella and she smiled, a smile that didn't reach her eyes. “You look better than I thought, for someone who got involved in an accident.” she smirked and Cruella furrowed her brows.“How did you know that?” She asked curiously.China chuckled. “Who did you think was driving the truck?” She asked and Cruella widened her eyes in shock but then her gaze suddenly darkened and she swiftly pinned China to the wall, her hands pressed tightly against China's neck.“You just keep giving me reasons to end this pathetic life of yours.” Cruella said through gritted teeth.“I'm not afraid of you Cruella.” China responded with a smile on her face even though Cruella was literally choking the l
“Well don't just stand there, do something!” Carly yelled and they all exchanged glances.“What do you want us to do?” Kyle asked with a shrug.“Anything we do now would be seen as taking advantage of her.” Sebastian added.“And after what happened between her and that human guy, we can't do that to her.” Jason concluded and all three bobbed their heads in agreement.“Is it me or is it hot in here?” Cruella asked breathlessly as she ran a hand down from her neck, down to her boobs, in a seductive way.Carly groaned, obviously annoyed by the outcome of events. “Well, she's your mate, so handle her!” She snapped as she pushed Cruella towards them, Sebastian swiftly caught her and Carly walked away immediately, not giving them a second to say another word.She had a sly grin on her face as she did so. “You owe me one, Cruella.” She said to herself as she went over to the drink counter, and helped herself out to one.Cruella immediately wrapped her hands around Sebastian's neck, her gaze
Cruella stirred in her sleep, and her eyes fluttered open, her vision blurry at first but after a few seconds, it cleared up. She sat up straight while holding her head as she looked around and realized she was back at her lodge.“What? How did I get here?” She asked no one in particular. She stared at her empty bed for a second and almost immediately, the memories of the previous night hit her hard. She remembered kissing Kyle, and desperately begging to be touched, and... The door suddenly opened, interrupting Cruella's thoughts. “Finally, you're awake.” Carly said as she walked into the room. She stopped right next to the bed, her arms folded across her chest.“What happened?” Cruella asked, feeling perplexed.“You tell me.” Carly responded, her gaze hard as she awaited Cruella's response.“I... I don't remember.” Cruella stuttered.Carly creased her brows. “You Don't Remember?” She asked word for word.“At least not everything. I can't remember how I got here but...” Cruella trai
“Harder!” Carly yelled and Cruella intensified her punching force as she kept throwing punches at the sandbag. “I still don't get the point of doing this. I already know how to throw a punch.” Cruella stated while keeping her focus on the sandbag. “I don't think you understand the stakes here, Cruella. China might seem weak but that's only because she's been holding back. Her father is a high ranking official amongst the royal counsel and she's had years of training. She would crush you at the duel if you should underestimate her.” Carly warned and Cruella turned to her. “The more reason why I should be practicing my spells or rather training my wolf. The duel is in two days and all I've been doing is punching a sandbag!” Cruella snapped and Carly rolled her eyes. “Actually all you've done is complain about everything and miss the whole point of this training.” Carly stated with a deadpan expression. “And the point is?” Cruella asked with furrowed brows. “Patience. You're so eage
“Carly, what are you doing?” Cruella asked Carly who has been throwing things around for almost a minute now.“I'm looking for the perfect outfit for you to wear. You need to look your best if you want to impress the Queen.” Carly gushed but Cruella frowned.“Impress her? What I want to do is separate her head from her body. I should wear something comfortable enough to fight in and not to impress her.” She stated, not hiding her resentment for Sheila.“I'm so sorry, Ella. I totally forgot about the whole revenge scheme.” Carly said with an apologetic gaze as she realized she had let her excitement get the best of her. She has never been to the palace before and knowing that her best friend got invited, she was more than happy to help her prepare, but the circumstances weren't as merry as her intentions.“I understand, Carly. I didn't mean to be hard on you. You could come with me if you like.” Cruella suggested, and Carly's jaw dropped. “I could?” She asked just to be sure.“You hea
The dinner with the Queen has been peaceful so far. Cruella tried her best to stay composed and focused on her meal. She hoped that it would remain quiet until it was time to go, but luck wasn't on her side as Sheila began questioning her. “So I hear you recently enrolled in Greenville Academy. Where did you school before that?” Sheila asked and Cruella froze. She didn't prepare for any of this as the invitation came so suddenly and she knew if she said the wrong thing, she would give herself away. “I was homeschooled.” She lied and Sheila furrowed her brows. “Really? Your parents must be so protective of you to keep you hidden for so long.” Sheila stated and Cruella almost rolled her eyes. Her so-called adoptive mother didn't give a pigeon's wing about her existence, and was more than delighted to cast her away. Protective? What an irony. “Yeah, you could say that, your majesty.” Cruella responded after a while. She glanced at Carly who gave her a thumbs up before focusing o
***JASON'S POV***I stared at the queen with burning rage, her words replaying at the back of my head. “You must be joking.” I said through gritted teeth. She might have somehow caught my father in her trap but she won't be able to manipulate me the same way, I made sure of that for over ten years when I decided to move to the academy.“By now you should know that I don't joke with things like this. If you won't do it then I'll simply find someone else to court her—”“Stay the f*ck away from her!” I thundered, my wolf trying to surge forward but I pushed him back in as I didn't want to put my father in harms way. “Seeing how you're being so protective of her, I'm assuming you're already smitten by her.” She stated this with an amused smile.I couldn't let her know Cruella was my mate, I didn't want to give her any leverage over me. “I don't know what sick plan you have, but I'm warning you, leave Cruella out of this!” I growled, my eyes glowing bright gold but she seemed unfazed by
