‘Darkness!’I was running through a dark and never ending passage. I had no idea where I was but I wanted to get out of that place. I could feel a suffocating sensation, choking my throat. A thin white mist was circling around me, making my vision blurry.‘Don’t touch me! Keep your hands away from me!’I started, yelling as I felt the disgusting touches of cold hands all over me. Those hands were wandering on my body aimlessly like numerous snakes crawling over me. I started running faster but there was no way out from that darkness.Soon, I noticed pairs of burning eyes, chasing after me. I gasped in fear, realising a shiver of panic. I kept on running for hours but there wasn’t a single ray of light. The darkness was drowning me, those cold and disgusting touches were making me nauseated. I gave up at last. I was alone, alone in that eternal abyss of darkness. My anguish was almost overcoming my control. I could hear the panting of those huge Lycans who were standing, circling aroun
“I am so sleepy but I still didn’t get any news of Eden.”After Sasha left, Kyrell came to visit me in the evening. It seemed like Kyrell was investigating the kidnapping incident so he talked with me about it only while asking tons of questions.However, when I asked him about Eden, Kyrell’s face became darker. He only answered, forcing a tiny smile on his lips, “Princess Eliza, don’t worry about Prince Eden. Brother talked with him already.”I asked promptly, “Can I return home tomorrow?”Sighing briefly, Kyrell answered, “You have to stay here for a few more days. We will send you back the moment everything is sought out.”“What needs to be sought out?” I asked impatiently.But, Kyrell already stood up from the sofa. Smiling politely at me, he replied, “Pardon me, I can’t really tell you much at this moment. Please rest well.”Then, he just left without even waiting for my answer as if he was running away from me.~~~Yawning sleepily, I walked out of the bed to the balcony. I was
“Eat more! You are a wolf not a bird.”Keir taunted me while serving me more meat. I was already full after eating so much. It seemed like Keir preferred meat a lot. Majority of the dishes were made of meat along with a few bowls of salad and fruits. While eating, I didn’t really get the chance to talk anymore. It seemed like he was quite hungry after a long day. So, we both focused on the food. However, Keir was still paying attention to me.After finishing my food, I was about to leave the dining table when Keir stated, “Wait! I have asked to make some dessert for you.”I asked in a surprised tone, “Do you like sweets? I didn’t know.”“I don’t like sweets but I thought that you would like it,” Keir answered while munching the last piece of his sausage. Keir signed the old lady who was in charge of the kitchen to serve it. They actually made three types of desserts. There was chocolate brownie, pudding and jello. I was already too full for the dessert but I couldn’t hold back mysel
“Eliza, are you awake?”I woke up from a loud knock at the door. Blinking sleepily, I asked in a muffled voice, “Mmh! Who is it?”It took me a few seconds to recall where I was and why that bedroom wasn’t looking that familiar to me. When I looked at the door, Sasha was standing there. She was dressed casually but she was looking prettier than usual after putting on slight makeup and tying her hair neatly in a ponytail.I asked in a puzzled tone, looking in her direction, “Now, I am awake. Do you need to tell me anything urgently?”Sasha dashed into the room with a gloomy face as she asked while fixing her hair, “Eliza, I am going to meet your brother in an hour. Do you want to tell him anything?”“Yeah!”I paused for a moment as I mumbled, hesitating for a bit, “Yes, tell him that I am sorry. I caused him so much trouble. I really wanna call him and talk but-”“But? Is he an angry guy? Will he scold you if you call him now?” Sasha asked anxiously. I corrected her hastily, “No, no! I
“That’s rubbish!”Kyrell protested promptly, looking up from his burger. He continued, snickering at Keir, “Since Childhood, this guy has been stealing my food and forcing my food to share with him. Still, our love is only decreasing.”Shrugging his shoulders, Keir answered casually while unbuttoning his coat, “I am not liking this version of you that much. I wish you were still that cry baby and drooling all the time while following me.”“Ahh! Shut up!”Kyrell demanded in an irritated tone, “How did you come here? I thought that you had an important meeting to handle.”While stretching his long arms, Keir answered casually, “I have finished that already. What do you think of me?” Turning to me, Keir asked, “Have you bought everything you needed?”“Hmm,” I nodded, “I think that I have bought more than I needed.”Leaning closer, he picked up my half-empty Boba tea as he inquired playfully, “Did you have fun? Do you wanna eat anything else? Wanna go somewhere else? I am free for the who

“Keir!”The tense lines on my face relaxed immediately. I instantly pushed him inside the room and closed the door behind us. I sighed in relief when the sound of the approaching footsteps faded gradually. Resting my forehead against Keir’s chest, I mumbled in a low and breathy voice, “Thank God! I found you. I- I-”I couldn’t say anymore. I didn’t even realise that I was resting my head on his chest until his hand gently touched the back of my head. All the sounds disappeared and his steady heartbeat calmed me down.After a little pause, Keir asked in a low and gentle voice, “What is wrong? Why do you look so scared?”Without looking up, I mumbled briefly, “Why did you leave me alone in the hall? I was looking for you everywhere.”Keir’s familiar scent and his warmth worked like magic. In a few seconds, the inner torment and fear of Lucas both faded away from my mind. I slowly looked up, taking a step back from him.Keir spoke in an odd yet gentle tone, “S-sorry. I shouldn’t have lef
Darkness was ruling over the Starfall forest.‘Hoot! Hoot!’ The frequent screaming of the owls bothered the enigmatic tranquillity of the night until footsteps began to increase, crackling the dry branches and leaves under its claws.It was the footsteps of a night creature that was running through that dense, Starfall forest of Auryn. Her breathing was heavier as she ran faster until she reached the top of the mountain that was separating Auryn and Verena, working as a border between those two kingdoms. That golden she-wolf stood higher on her hind legs, pointing her nose towards the moon.The silvery moon, loomed large, surrounded by an ethereal glow like the mighty queen of the velvety black sky. The stars in the presence of the moon made it the guardian of all the stars.That Shewolf’s golden and silky fur tousled by the soft breezes of the spring as her rare purple eyes were the colour of lavenders; lively, enchanting, and beautiful. Breaking that serene silence of that silve

“I am so glad to see you again.”I mumbled in relief. Tears were rolling down from my eyes constantly.Closing my eyes, I buried my face against his chest. His manly body odor mixed with a faint sweet scent of his perfume. It was such an alluring scent that my nerves and rapid heartbeats began to calm down again.I could hear the voice of the host and a few other people who tried to stop him. The host stated hastily, approaching us, “Mister Walker, you can’t take her with you like that. Please follow the protocol.”Glaring at him, Keir growled furiously, “Protocol? What kind of protocol do I need to follow now to stop this shameless act?”Kyrell hastily interrupted them, trying to calm down Keir, “Brother, we can’t really interrupt the auction or Father will be very angry with you. It will spoil our relationship with the Mikasha organisation too.”The host suggested in a timid voice, “Mister Walker, if you like that maid, you can buy her. You just have to-”Keir’s voice was trembling
(POV OF Young Eliza Claire)“Ugh! This place is so noisy!”While rubbing my forehead, I tried to open my eyes. But, even after opening my eyes, I only found myself in the dark. The darkness was impenetrable as if I was still closing my eyes, lost in the world of my dreams. My head was thumbing as a sweet scent was lingering in the warm air around me. At first, my whole body felt numb; I could barely feel my legs. Slowly, I realised that I must be dreaming.I could still hear the cheerful voice of that magician along with the clapping of that excited crowd. But, he wasn’t chanting any silly and playful words anymore. It seemed like he was declaring something.“Mmh!”While trying to get up, I mumbled in a low and muffled voice, “W-what is he saying? Why am I still-”My puzzled thoughts were interrupted suddenly. A gush of sudden and bright light blinded my vision, wiping away all the darkness abruptly. I heard the sound of spraying something as a few drops of some fragrant liquid spark
