"I am not in for that, Matilda. Let me be," she said.Matilda scoffs with her gaze fixed on her for a while, "you are not the only one that care for my son. I also care about him, but I can't get myself all worked up over him when he chose not to speak with me when he was going out," she let it all out.Hearing that got Sharon calm immediately. "You mean he didn't pay attention to you?" She asked again to get things right."Yes…. All I needed was an answer, but didn't say a word," She expressed."Sorry to ask… what was in his hand when he was leaving?" Sharon pressed, because she needs more details about the whole thing. Matilda wanted to say something but halts immediately. She gives what she just said a thought. Wrapping her head around it, she said, "he was with his phone and car keys."Sharon let out a sigh knowing fully well he is always with his phone. "You know what, we will all be waiting for him here till he returns," she said.Matilda nods her head with a smile. "Now you g
That thought of his have gone really wild. 'Why would even mother say such a think?' he had to let that question roam freely in his mind."Do you think you can handle what I have inside of me?" She asked again, this time she is even more serious with her words.With Danny's eyes fixed on her, he swallows some saliva and exhaled heavily. "What is it that is buried in your mind that I won't be able to handle? I am all ears," he said inquisitively.His answer incited his mother's laugh. After she had laughed for a while, she opens her mouth to speak."Don't talk like that, son… there are some words you have not heard and this words are indeed really big, very big," she expressed.Danny tries to fathom how big what she is describing would be. His imagination could only capture something so impossible.Getting tired of his mother at that point, "do you really want me to have a glimpse of it?" He asked.Matilda could see frustration all written on his face. "Poor little boy... You have not
His eye widened in shock as he swallowed his saliva right on Sharon's laps.Now, Sharon's gaze is all fixed on him. She is expecting him to pick the call right away.Darius is reluctant and wouldn't pick the call if allowed to do so.The call ended in no time and his mind rested. While he thinks it is all over, the caller calls again."Darius…pick your call," Sharon had to let that word out seeing how inconvenient he is feeling on her laps. Sharon know right away that there must be something baffling that moment. Getting himself up from her lap, "that isn't necessary, Sharon… I am having nice moment with you already. Picking a call shouldn't be my priority," he said.Sharon scoffs and laughs out indistinctly. "Wait, Darius. Do you think I am a fool?" She gestured out with a stern look at her husband.'This is the height of it all,' he retorted heavily with feet dialing through his heart. "I know you aren't a fool, Sharon and what does being foolish has to do with what I was saying,"
Darius was shocked when she entered, he couldn't even cover himself. Hearing her words and hawl deafened his ear. He is just staring like a fool. "I am highly disappointed in you, Darius. I believe you could do better, but you did otherwise, you can't do any better. I hate you," those words dropped down her crack voice with tears dripping down her eyes. With all these words, Darius was just staring. He didn't know what to say, he is dumbfounded. Being dumbfounded, Sharon looked at him for quite a while. "You disgust me, Darius… you disgust me…" those were her last words. She turned her back immediately and walk out of his room in anger.Banging the door behind her, Darius covered his eyes in shame, 'fuck!' those were the screams that comes from his heart at that moment. He shut his eyes trying to think how he would resolve the bitter crisis. 'WTF is this' he released those words right from his heart. 'What do I do? …. What do I do?' that question at that moment has no answer. He
Sitting under a shade outside, the atmosphere and the breeze oozing around is just so cold and body norishing. "I love it out here," that word made its way out of Darius lip, because his mind now is so calm. "Yeah, immediately I set my eyes on it from afar, I know this place would be the best for us. That why I suggested we come here and I am so happy you agreed with it," he said.With smiles on Darius face, he said, "why won't I agreed to something that would ease my tension. I am passing through a lot, Danny."Weighing his word piece by piece, what he said last draws the attention of Danny. He wants to know what is actually eating him up."To be a man is not easy, Darius. I know you are passing through a lot, but I can't say it's beyond your power," he said.Darius sets his gaze on him for a while, before opening his mouth agape to speak."Danny, what I am facing is far beyond me. I am tired of it all. I feel like freeing myself from this world," he poured out his emotions.Those
Sharon is feeling so down and pathetic. She just couldn't leave it all out, her mind is just too feeble to hold the pain.While in heavy pain, she laid on her bed and in no time she sleeps off. That is the only means she could escape all her worries.'Stop it right there, you bloody fool. Who sent you guys here? Matilda,' that response and that word into his mind and in no time the witch stopped the chant and immediately drop his hand.Squeezing his eyes, more memory flashes starts coming. 'You know I love you. I will never leave you.'Darius recognise that voice. It's Sharon's.In no time, he opens his eye after all the memories have ring through his mind. "I have helped you with your memories. Don't you only have a fragment of it, not all," the witch reminded him again.Darius couldn't really reply the witch, his mind his heavy."What did you do to him. Why isn't he responding to your words?" Danny asked immediately after seeing the strange look on Darius face."Nothing happened t
"I am sorry Sharon, please forgive me," he apologized again.Now, Sharon can't just forgive him, because she doesn't know the part of the memory he remembered. Sharon know how devilish her act were and knows what actually led to the death of the maid.'Finding out his past, I will be his ultimate enemy. What did he remeber?' she queried herself for a very long time, but no answer could be provided.After some minutes, Darius knees begins to ache. 'I won't leave here until she forgives me,' that is his decision and he is ready to abide by it no matter what it takes even if it would take his last sweat drop. Looking at him on his knees, an idea dropped her mind and that's the only way she could have find."You disgust me, Darius. Stand on your feet and get out of my room," she fired at him.Raising his head and Liting his voice with lots of emotions. "Please, Sharon. I know what I did is wrong but I am not perfect. Forgive me," he pleads heavily. His word gently sift into Sharon's ear
Dialing the number, she placed her phone on her ear waiting for him to pick up.After some minutes ring, Darius picked up the call. "Hello, Mariam," he said."Hello… please I am stranded. I need your help," she expressed."You are stranded? Where are you at the moment?" He requested for her location immediately."I am at the party within the street," she said."Okay." He replied. Darius immediately has gotten a hang of what she is insinuating. He rush out of his room without anyone's knowledge, aimed for his car and gets right in immediately. Starting it's engine, he speed off. 'Were would this lady be stranded at? Even her description isn't clear enough.' Darius is bothered…. Really bothered about her and her description.After a few speed to run up some distance, 'isn't that her?' he questioned himself trying to figure out that individuals physique. Getting close enough, 'thats her' he expressed in excitement and immediately stopped his car. He stepped down and walk some paces f
“What am I going to do?” she silently mumbled to herself as she frantically tried to come up with a plan to avoid facing her own wrath. All of a sudden, she felt a firm grasp upon her arm, pulling her back behind the safety of a pillar near a nearby window, away from prying eyes. She felt relieved and surprised – until she realized who exactly had grabbed her and whom she recognized.. Her heart sank slightly. Of course. Why wouldn’t it? It was Rachel. She had heard rumors that there was a consummated marriage between Darius and Rachel after her mating ritual to Darius. Apparently she’d had no intention of marrying either of them, much less Darius, but Rachel had always loved Darius anyway. Now, it seemed like they were having problems reconciling their differences over Darius. That didn’t matter anymore though, she supposed. Rachel hadn’t shown herself to be happy or supportive during Darius’ mating ritual, which was why she’d refused to speak to him when she’d returned
For the longest time, she hadn’t even thought about whether or not her feelings were reciprocated. To hear such heartfelt reassurances was definitely overwhelming…but what was she supposed to tell him? That she wasn’t interested in anyone right now, even though he was the one person she most desired to spend time with? How could she possibly confess something like that without sounding like she was lying to him? And yet…how could she convince him otherwise? Couldn’t he tell she was just playing along? Hadn’t she been doing the exact same thing? Before she could respond, a knock came to her door, effectively cutting short their discussion. Both of them turned to find a servant standing outside her chamber door. “Excuse me Your Highness, but your chambers are ready,” the servant informed her politely. “Please follow me.” Darius glanced in her direction briefly before nodding his consent. Once the servant had withdrawn, he released Riley’s hand and made his way inside his room w
Darius’s expression hardened once again, and he motioned towards the door. “Go to your chambers,” he instructed, his voice distant. “We’ll talk more later. But for now, I suggest you start by apologizing to the guard at the door for your behavior.” Feeling a mixture of relief and apprehension, Riley nodded and stood up, her legs feeling weak beneath her. She made her way towards the door, aware of the lingering gazes from the pack members around her. Whispers filled the air as she passed by, and she couldn’t help but feel the weight of their judgment. As Riley approached the guard at the door, she noticed the hesitance in his eyes. He seemed wary, as if unsure of how to react to her presence. She mustered up a small smile and spoke softly, trying to convey her sincerity. “I’m sorry for my actions,” she said, her voice filled with remorse. “I didn’t mean to cause any trouble.” The guard’s gaze softened slightly, but there was still a hint of caution. “Just don’t let it happen
Finding Clyde.Jason:Clarissa’s resilience was the strongest I had ever come across, to apologize for an offense she had it committed, to hold back her anger and pain as though she too did not need to be taken care of. She was in so much by the conversation concerning Clyde’s pack, It worse obvious that we were digging up old wounds that had clearly not healed. Maybe that was why she was distant from me, and ask why she channeled her pain into trying to build a family for the lost ones like her. She inspired me so much, and I felt her pains so much that I wanted to pull her into my arms and ease all the pain away with my warm embrace, but I knew I could not do that, so I just watched.Apart from the stories they told, I was also very concerned about the whereabouts of Clyde. There’s no how he would have survived the dungeon for that long alone, without food, water. We had brought back all the war prisoners with us and we were slowly planning to begin a plan for a bigger and better p
Darius blushed furiously, averting his gaze. “Uh, yeah. Well, um,” he stumbled and cleared his throat nervously. “You see, I just…uh,” he struggled to find words as he rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. “What I mean to say is…um…” he muttered, glancing back up at her. His pale cheeks flushed even deeper red as his eyes met hers. “Well, um, I’m just…hmm…I guess I like talking to you.” His face grew impossibly more crimson as he spoke, his blush becoming nearly unbearable as he attempted to justify himself. Riley giggled, enjoying the way he floundered. “Well, Dai, how come you never spend time with me?” I asked. “ I’m busy” he abruptly replied her. “Besides, why do you care anyway?” Riley’s eyes narrowed as she gazed sternly at him. “I know what kind of life you lead,” she told him bluntly. “We’re not really friends, are we? You never ask for my advice or my help. In fact, your attitude towards me has always been completely hostile.” A frown m
She was no stranger to the hurt she felt after each rejection. Her heart ached as she realized that Darius didn’t feel the same. She smiled as she gazed at Darius’s beautiful blue eyes, a smile so tender that Darius felt his heart tighten. ‘No, it isn’t you.’ She thought with a bitter laugh. ‘How could he possibly return my love if he cannot bear the burden of keeping secrets?’ She glanced away. ‘Perhaps I should just leave him and live out the rest of my life alone.’ Her voice cracked slightly, as though her resolve was crumbling. As tears brimmed in her eyes, she fought the urge to cry out, ‘I’ve lost everything! Why should he care? What does he see in me? A sudden, sharp pain erupted in her chest, as if a dagger had pierced it. She gasped sharply as she doubled over in agony, clutching her injured heart. It felt as though someone had stabbed her repeatedly, rendering her unable to breathe or move. Pain shot through her entire torso, threatening to ri
“Darius, I have received some distressing news,” the elder began, his voice laced with concern. “Your father’s sudden withdrawal has put our community in a precarious position. We have made commitments to Rachel’s family, and we cannot afford to break them.” Darius’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion. “What do you mean, commitments? I thought my marriage to Rachel was already arranged.” The elder sighed, his gaze fixed on Darius. “Yes, it was. But your father’s decision has created a complicated situation. We need to salvage the agreements and ensure the stability of our community. There is an alternative plan we have devised.” Darius leaned forward, his curiosity piqued. “What is this alternative plan?” The elder’s voice dropped to a hushed tone. “We can arrange a consummated marriage for you with Rachel, in secret. This way, we fulfill our obligations to her family while maintaining the appearance of your marriage with Riley, as was originally planned.”
She needed someone who would guide her. Someone who would help her. Her head snapped upright suddenly as a loud, deafening sound filled the air. The noise pierced her ears, making her wince. The sound continued to grow louder and louder, shaking her whole being, until it became impossible for her to hear anything else except for the terrible shrieking noise that was echoing around her and reverberating inside of her skull. Suddenly it stopped, leaving a painful emptiness in its wake, as she lay on her side, panting heavily. She opened her eyes wide and stared blankly into space, her hands covering her ears. Tears trickled down her cheeks as she struggled to breathe. She looked up, searching blindly for the source of the sounds; the sudden silence made her panic and she screamed for help. She waited for several minutes, trying to make sense of the events surrounding her, trying to grasp what was happening. Suddenly she realised that a door had creaked open somewh
She pressed a soft kiss against his lips. “Me too.” She whispered. He turned his body so they were lying on their sides facing each other, mirroring each other’s position. He gazed down at her with pure adoration in his deep brown eyes. “I love you,” he whispered. She raised herself up on her elbow, reaching out and stroking his stubbly chin with her finger. “I love you, too.” Their gaze locked into each other, feeling the same overwhelming emotion. They both leaned forward until their lips were only millimetres apart. Rachel’ eyes widened as he began to lean towards her, pressing their bodies together. Their lips met in slow motion as their tongues mingled together in an intense, sensual embrace. As their lips parted they remained connected as they savoured the moment, breathing heavily. He moved his arms underneath her bottom and picked her up, carrying her over to the bed and laying her down gently. She s
