Orion woke up early the next morning, his mind already focused on the training that awaited him. He knew he had to be in his best form for the upcoming fight with his brother, and so he got dressed and headed out to the training grounds.As he arrived, he looked around, taking in the surroundings. The training grounds were vast, with several different areas designated for various types of training. There were areas for combat training, areas for physical conditioning, and areas for weapons training.Orion began his warm-up routine, stretching his muscles and preparing his body for the intense workout to come. He then moved on to some basic combat training, practicing his strikes and blocks against an imaginary opponent.Next, he moved on to weapons training. He picked up a sword and began practicing his swings, slicing through the air with swift and precise movements. He also practiced with a shield, learning to deflect attacks and protect himself.After a few hours of training, Orion
Noticing his gaze, his mother felt inconvenient, "why are you staring at me like that?" She forced those words out of her lips at least to caution him."Oh… was i?" the question she asked called him back from the wonderland. He didn't realize he was staring that much."Yes you are. You are so damn lost in the fantasy," Danny cut into the conversation of the two, making what he had done clear to him. He couldn't help but to make a joke of him."Come on Danny!" He let those words slip out of his lips as gestured with his right hand. Danny didn't add another word to what he had earlier said. In-between, he couldn't help but let out an open laughter which charged the atmosphere. Darius tilted forward hurriedly, "let's get going," he marched out those words gently.Matilda nodded her head, immediately those words marshed into her ears. She walked forward.Danny raised his head and followed suit. In no time, they are already in front of the latest car in two."Damn! This is cute," Danny c
'Where is Darius?' that is the word that came out of her lips immediately she couldn't find him in his room. Sharon stood still, but her head is gone into the sea to fish out what may have likely happened. With her thoughts, she couldn't really fathom what is happening especially, owning to her just waking from her sleep.'let me check if others are in the house,' she concluded. Sharon immediately take her leave from Darius room. Not too long after, the hinges of Matilda's door creaked hurriedly due to how it was opened. She looked around and couldn't find her. She sagged her head and think it through, 'i guess she is out of the house with Darius,' immediately that idea pulp into her mind she couldn't accept that fact. She immediately denied it, 'no… it mustn't be.'While she was still in thoughts, she heard the sound of a car stopping at the entrance of their house. 'Speak of the devil. I guess that must be him,' she expelled from her gentle sharp voice but all within her heart.S
His mind couldn't process the whole idea all at once, but he got himself cut up in that mood for a very long time.Enjoying her soft lips, he reached for her little tities. Squeezing it like an orange, Sharon moaned gently enjoying the beautiful mood.She closed her eyes demanding for more not knowing she is about to be in for the greatest shock of her life.With her eyes closed, Darius heart raised 10x and immediately he was cut in some memory flashes which turned his mood off.'Hmm,' he let out an heavy sigh, emptying out the air in his gut he stopped pressing her boobs and slightly pushed her off.Sharon was shocked with his behaviour. She couldn't fathom why he would do such a thing even with that kind of mood, "what's wrong?" That is the question she could ask at the moment.Looking at her face, "nothing is wrong…Sharon, but I have this memory flash. I don't really understand what I saw," he explained.Hearing that, she was puzzled, "was it about me?" She let those words out just
A loud sound ooze out of the door immediately it was closed. Sharon walked to her bed just to sit on it.'Damn! I almost lost it,' those words were robbed on her mind due to how tensed she was while walking past Matilda. She breathed heavily and laid her two hand on her face.She closed her eyes trying to relax her mind. In a short while, 'thank goodness. I don't know my wolf could be that useful,' she was greatful and at the same time happy.After she had relaxed her mind perfectly. Different shades of thoughts go through her mind all in a second and there is this thought that landed on her mind in a giffy.The smile that lit on her face shows how happy she was with the thought. 'Now is the time to show them what I am made of,' she expelled those words out of her mind. But it wasn't something to express. Matilda couldn't get what just happened. 'Why did she walk past me all tensed?' that was it. Matilda noticed how tensed she was due to the intake of her breath and Matilda is very
Sharon felt that word hit. It hit her ears that it starts becoming itchy. Her face becomes oily as sweats begin to ooze out of her skin.'What do I do?' that word hit her head like an explosive and her mind couldn't but find a means to escape the issue staring at her face. She sighed heavily and fixed her gaze on Danny. Getting a grip of herself she said, "what did I do?" That was her taking control of the situation. She hopes it works.Danny scoffs, "you finally find yourself. Why did you have your pants down earlier?" he marshed those words out of his lips, because he has started suspecting something.Matilda at this moment couldn't understand a thing. It was as if she was thrown off balance. "Can a person tell me what is going on?" She leased out of her gut.Sharon just have a glance at her, but she is not ready to have a word with her. Fixing her gaze on Danny she said, "I was just startled, because of how you bumped at me from no where. I was terrified," she let the words out an
The door was banged gently immediately she was dragged in. "What is the meaning of that Charade?" He fired harshly, but made sure his voice doesn't find its way out of the room.Sharon gazed at him for a while. She has a lot of things going on in her mind all at once. She sighed inaudibly but didn't let a word out of her lips.Gazing at her face, Darius knows she has nothing to say, "so, you have nothing to say to this right?" He had to let those words out and he made sure his tone was fierce.Sharon didn't say a thing. All she could do is to stare, because she has nothing to say.Darius laughs indistinctly, because he is boiling heavily. He felt like exploding, but he mustn't, "you won't say anything to this right?" He marshed those words through his lips harshly. She sighed heavily and then decided to let loose of one word, "I have nothing to say to you, Darius… forget about the charade. I did it for us," she let those words out hoping it would help her make him stop. Her word
"We want to know what kind of animal it is," he responded quickly.Sharon scoffs. She decides not to utter another statement. Immediately she held her peace. The animal comes out from its secret place. Looking leftwards, Darius sighted the animal, "that's it," that word fell from his lips without him intentionally letting it out.His words alerted the others immediately it penetrated their ears. Their gaze were all fixed on it."Now…Danny," her urged him that moment to use his mechanised arrow.Quickly, Danny brings out the mechanised arrow he hung at his back.Everyone at this moment becomes very silent, because animals are sensitive to sound. Danny aims at the animal and when his target is locked. He let out the mechanised arrow.Hitting the animal, it let out an heavy growl, then fall to the ground."We did it," Matilda wraps out those word in excitement.Danny and Darius smiled. The both of them rushed out of their hiding place to pick up the animal."This is huge," Darius had
“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
