Cynthia

Age-14

We were back at home and Riley was busy making some animated stories for our dear mother to explain our dripping wet state.

“Mom, I was sweating all over and Thia was not listening to me.” Riley said with a guilty smile.

“So, you just pushed her and yourself in the lake?” Mom asked with a suspicious but kind smile, while painting her nails with neon pink colour.

I love our Mom but honestly, she still hasn’t gotten over her beauty pageant days. Tessa Michaels might be a dedicated housewife now but there was a time when she was the most beautiful girl in the entire wolf’s valley and won each and every beauty pageant held in Glasshorn.

 I know, I always cringe inside whenever she dresses like we are going to be at a  beauty contest but really, I wouldn’t have her another way either, she might be loud and gaudy but she is perfect for our quiet and shy Dad.

I still can’t believe sometimes that they are together, two polar opposites people so much in love that they still don’t eat even a single meal without each other. I love their love story so much that I always dreamed I would find my mate just like they did but all my dreams came crashing down today.

I have my mate but not my love story, heck I didn’t even got acknowledged by him. He went away from me as soon as he could. Maybe I was wrong and it was me being overwhelmed with my crush? But that’s not the truth and my beast growling at that thought is more than the proof I needed. He is my mate and honestly, I don’t even know what to do with that.

“I won’t exactly call it a push.” Riley winked at me, making me roll my eyes at her.

“Enough Riles! Let’s just eat now, I am starving.” I groaned and raided our small fridge. Yes, another reason I need to doubt the reality of King Aaron being my mate. If I am really his mate then boy, did he found the worst one.

Compared to him I am a pauper, okay not exactly that but really, we might be surviving just fine but living on Dad’s sculptor workshop is not exactly a comfortable life. Thankfully Mom bought this house when she was on her winning streak.

Otherwise, I am sure we will still be on rent. Honestly, I am happy Dad is sticking to what he loves and I really have no right to complain either, I can just earn myself if I really want those artificial luxuries when I grow up but finding my mate has really shaken me to my core. I am doubting everything and anything I am coming across. God! Thia, for god’s sake forget it. He didn’t even recognise you. 

“You know Mom, we met King Aaron today!” my little sister exclaimed while unknowingly again pushing me in the same hell I was just pulling myself from.

“Really? What he was doing at the lake” Mom narrowed her eyes at us mockingly, making Riley hiccup. Damn!

“Riley! You little liar, where did you both really were? Tell me!” Mom teased and Riley shrieked in delight when mom started tickling her.

“C’mon baby, tell me where were you?” Mom laughed seeing Riley giggle. Seeing them like this even made me forget my anxiety and worries and finally I joined Mom in tickling Riley and that’s how another Sunday was spent at Michael’s little house near the valley’s darkest forest.

    Cynthia Age-14 “You look like someone I know.” I said to the lady sitting with me as we swang above the sparkling turquoise colour water. My feet dipped in the cold serene water everytime we went past it and hair were busy dancing with the small blue birds chirping around us. I could also feel the fresh air kiss my pale skin and i just knew this was my home. i was still trying to catch one of the bird when she finally spoke. “One day, you will have to face the whole world my dear girl.” She said and caressed my platinum blond hair. “Do you think, I would be able to do that?” I asked not meeting her eyes, I was scared she will look disappointed, instead I chose to admire my pretty surrounding. wemight be swinging over a lake maybe but there was no land in sight, only clouds and pretty birds and fishes. I giggled when one red fish jumped near my left foot. “You are capable of anything my Cynthia, you are so gentle inside that I didn’t want you t

    Cynthia Age-14 “Is everything ok babe?’’ Cole asked. I glared at him and punched his back, “Shut up and don’t call me that!’’ Today he was in his casual black tee and dark denim jeans. His green eyes were sparkling with sun and deep brown hair were less shabby than usual. Whoa! What am I doing? Recognising my mate has surely made me aware of opposite sex but Cole? No way, I will not notice his looks. “Seriously Thia, you have been very quiet today.” Cole said, worry etched on his face. Cole is my best friend and he definitely cares for me. Can I really tell him my secret and trust him to keep it to himself? Can I honestly pour my heart to him? He might even understand my pain and maybe he can help me too. But no, I can’t, not until Aaron knows, telling him first feels wrong. “I- I just hate I can’t shift yet.” I lied and avoided his eyes in shame and felt a pang of guilt. No matter how I justify this, I am still lying to my friend.

    Cynthia Age-14 After Aaron left me there all alone, I didn’t waste any time and started my walk back home. I knew now I will have to come clean to my parents no matter the consequences. Hearing Aaron’s pain for my parents makes me feel stupid now. every reason that I thought was good enough now only looks like an excuse. The reason I wanted to hide my beast from my parents was that I thought I would turn blonde after finding my mate most definitely and even if not that I thought turning 18 would help me. But knowing how Dad wanted to elope with us to save me changes everything. I can’t let them destroy their lives for me. I know shifting with my color will bring much more wrath than now but I can’t help this anymore. The least I can do is tell my parents the truth and no I will not escape this clan. Things have changed now. I have a mate now. Aaron, Alpha King Aaron. I probably knew him all my life but strangely my first memory of him is when I was ar

    “What did you say honey?” Mom asked, still distracted with her favourite show,‘Miss Glasshorn of the year’.“I need to talk about something, with you and Dad.” I murmured looking down at my feet. Riley was busy scrolling through her phone but at my low voice, she looked up and raised her left brow at me in question. Even Mom got the hang of the situation and muted the television. But before Mom could ask me anything, Dad entered the house with his apron still tied around his waist.“I swear, this piece is taking ages to complete, that Jims is going to have my head if I am not on time.” Dad was still busy with untying his apron and cleaning his work shoes as he told us about his latest sculpture. Jims is his dealer and he is always very strict with his deadlines, although I don’t say it but I know it’s

They can love Riley as much as they want while their good-for-nothing daughter is withering away in this scary and dark forest. Away from everyone. Everyone in the clan must be partying right now.

    After reaching the safe territory I release Finn, who doesn't waste any time and runs toward the forest in the opposite direction. Watching him enter there safely I also shift back. After a minute Willa catches up with me and shifts back. Looking at each other we both hug in relief. “That was close” Willa sighs and lays down on the soft green grass at the open ground behind the Royal Villa. This is the only place any rogue would think twice before coming so this should be safe.“Very close, I could even smell their evilness.” I exaggerate and Willa laughs.“Seriously Cyn! I love the thrill and all but we got to be careful, especially with your beast.” Willa with a deep frown on her face, warns me and I agree with her. People now know I can shift but not everyone has seen me. The reason I am finally an outcast because everyone has their own theory about my beast. Some believe I hide because it’s hideous and s

I am surely, very blessed to have him as my mate but i still don't know if we are right for each other.“How is school, Little Cynthia?” Aaron asks breaking the awkward silence between us. for a second I think about ignoring him altogether but then think otherwise and reply.“Stop calling me little,” I murmur and look outside the moving jeep.“Cynthia, look at me.” He growls at me as we take a turn toward the dark forest's hidden path.I sigh but oblige.

Please!” Theo said now using his puppy eyes. I was smirking as I gave him my back and continued to brush my hair. “What’s happening?” Aaron asked smiling while coming closer to us. It was Theo who said, “Dad, Mumma won’t talk to me.” Aaron chuckled, “Is that so little prince?” Theo nodded and with his blue eyes glared at me. I was trying so hard to control my laugh but when he pouted, I couldn’t hold it and chuckled, “Fine, I will talk to you but promise me, you will never do that again.” Theo looked thoughtful before replying. Then finally like it suited his royal ways he said carefully, “Okay Mumma! I will not lie to you until it is very necessary.” I gasped and chuckled, “You! Just wait there.”

You were miraculously breathing again.”I couldn’t help but chuckle and nod, “Where is he?”The woman smiled and motioned for me to see outside the door, and then I saw them.

    Cynthia Langston Picking up Aaron’s gift I walked toward the terrace and smiled looking at the beautiful arrangements, everything was so beautiful that I couldn’t help but she d a small tear. The happiness was clear on my face as I admired the view, the delicious food. Getting curious I picked up the food and saw it was a mix of Italian and Indian. Italian for me and Indian for Aaron. So sweet of Nora. I poured a glass of juice for me and finally texted Aaron to come on the terrace. As I hear a movement behind me, thinking it was Aaron I turned with a big smile on my face and so much love in my eyes but seeing who it was I gasped and stood up. “M- Maya?” I gasped and held my chair. Maya was looking like a crazy person, her hair were all messy, her dress was in tatters and she only and only had hatred in her eyes for me. “M- Maya please calm down.” I said noticing a knife in her hand. Even her eyes were not focused enoug

    I hummed and said, “Anything” At my reply he chuckled and asked me to shift. As we shifted and ran through the forrest and cleared the area, only to stop at the beach, I looked around and shifted to our human form, Frowning I asked Aaron. “Why are we here?” Aaron shifted back and came to stand in front of me, “Will you do me the honours of repeating our vows?” I laughed at his suggestion and laughed like I was thinking it over, finally I hummed forcing Aaron to chuckle and swatt my ass. We both held hands and looked deep into each other’s eyes as we recited our vows, “Oh kind Moon Goddess, today is the day we seek another blessing, today is the chosen day of our union, today we keep you and sun god as our witness and with your auspicious presence we do it, we commit the deed, we seek your blessing and love, for we are to be bound now with each other, for we are to be mated and only live with each other and love one another, thi

Had you done any investigation over this?”Nash looked uncomfortable at first but then nodded, “No over the table but yes under the table the investigation was still on, even until the day you came.”I frowned, “Under the table? Under whose instruction may I ask?”Nash coughed and said, “King Aaron.”I rolled my eyes at that and nodded, “I need the updates and all the proofs you have gathered so far.”Nash nodded, “We are very close, In fact if you don’t mind, can you answer some of my questions.”I nodded and after that I answer every question Nash asked me.After that day, a weird routine was developed.

Not even over my dead body, as long as my soul is there in this world, only I could touch you, kiss you and fuck you.”At his obscene language, I glared at him and stood up, throwing the napkin on the table, I glared at him and started to leave but before I could do he was ther ein front of me blocking my path.Aaron leaned down and held my jaw, “Say you understand!” He demanded but that Cynthia had died who had done every thing to please him.I wrenched my jaw away from his grip, “Don’t Aaron, don’t forget I am your Queen.”Aaron growled and held my wasit, “You might be the goddess herself, I do not simply care, you are my mate first and no one can take that fact away from me, not even you, so yes Cynthia now tell me, do you understand?”I did not know whether it was right or not but I k

I did not know how to react, my blood was still pumping with what I have just done.Dad and Riles was behind her and came toward me too. Both were crying too. Finally seeing a genuine reaction, I could not help but cry too.“I am sorry, Mom Dad, Riley, I am so sorry, it all just happened. I did not know how to even reach you guys.”Mom shook her head and wiping her tears she said, “It’s- It is fine honey, youa re alive and alright is all what I needed to see, to hear.
