I was already up the next morning in the field, it was our early compulsory activity. For the first time, Mrs Patricia asked me to arrange some bricks on the field according to a puzzle in front of me.Back in school, I was so good at trivia and puzzles so I knew how to do it."How did you do yours?" Henry inquired as he had difficulties arranging his puzzles.I chuckled at the way his puzzle was scattered and helped him do it the proper way. "Yeah, I've done it."He sighed in relief and winked at me. "Thank you, you're a life saver." The remaining slaves were too embarrassed to ask me to help them and I wasn't even ready to volunteer to help them. Mrs Patricia came quite sooner and inspected all the puzzles. Only I and Henry got it correctly, she sent the rest on punishments and stared at me for a long time. "Alright Hailey, it's time for your date with King Raymond and I'm here to assist you. Follow me." I followed her back into the palace and she took me into a beautiful room.
As soon as I got into the car, he started the car's engine and drove out of the palace compound. He was having an excited grin on his face and that made me feel relaxed a little bit."You really look nice in that dress though and that makeup is fire, you look like a damn Princess." He complimented as he controlled the steering.I chuckled softly, trying to be more romantic with him but I knew I was going to fail woefully. Could I really pretend to love him?"Thank you, I wanted to look really pretty for our date.""I've had dates with many girls and I'm more excited about this one that I could barely sleep at night. What about you?"I was speechless for a moment. I knew I couldn't tell him that I couldn't sleep because I was thinking of Blake. He was going to get upset and I didn't want to do anything that would ruin the conversation."Same here, I couldn't even sleep because I was thinking of our date and how you became so nice to me."He stopped his driving for a while and stared at
I looked at him in surprise as he shapeshifted into a wolf. I watched his enormous figure walking out from the cover of the trees until he was looming over me. He was huge emitating power and dominance but I knew I was safe and I don't need to be afraid. His voice boomed inside my head gentle as a breeze when he stopped me.He was a black wolf. "I'll lay down so you can climb on top of my back but remember hold onto me tight and don't let go." He instructed.For a moment, I didn't know if I was hold enough to climb on top of him. He lowered himself down on the ground nudging my side with his snot to show me to climb onto his back. I never rode on such a strong and hugs animal before even less a wolf.Taking a step forward, I held his soft fur in my hands and with his help pulled myself up onto his back. Soon as I was comfortable and seated he asked me if I was ready. My voice came out uncertain but excited at the same time as I said yes. Suddenly he growled and moved up standing on
"What the fuck are you saying?" Princess Kieran went off on King Raymond.Now, she was badly pissed off. "Are you trying to say you're bringing this nonentity into the Royal family? What are you saying? How could you let this girl deceive you?"Everyone just looked dumbfounded as Princess Kieran dragged her brother. She was really pissed off and I wouldn't even want to do anything to quench the situation, I had to just let King Raymond handle it."Kieran, you need to calm down. You're flaring up and it's not good for your health." He advised.She wasn't listening. "Why shouldn't I be angry? You're trying to make a low budget bastard a Queen. Anyone would be surprised right now because this is unfair to the Royal family. She doesn't deserve the position of a Queen."Now, this was really pissing me off but what could I say? She was freely throwing insults at me and calling me a low budget Queen. She really had her way with words because she was a Queen and I was just a mere slave.But t
I was already up the next day with Henry asking me if I slept well. I didn't sleep well after what I witnessed the previous night but I couldn't tell him. I just had to lie that I slept well.He noticed my dull face and sat near me. "What's wrong?" For a minute, I didn't say a word but I just hard to talk with him in case he could help me. "Don't you think everything has happened too quick? With the wedding and all these stuffs, what do you think they're planning?"He shrugged and looked at me, I could see the fear and uncertainty in his eyes. "The wolves are full of tricks and deceits, you could never trust them. And they're also smart in their evil plans. I don't know what they're planning but I think you're getting yourself more into trouble."Hs words seemed to break me, he was right after all. His description of the werewolves were accurate and I couldn't have described them more.I suddenly began to regret not listening to Henry when he told me that they were dangerous and evil
As soon as I took a turn to the hallway, someone dragged me into a room.My heart skipped a beat.I turned around and found Mrs Patrica, she was the one who dragged me into the room but I didn't know why she did that."Is there any problem, ma'am?"She didn't answer, she just walked to the door and peeped outside to make sure no one was eavesdropping on our conversation. She then sat down on the bed and stared at me. I was still confused but chose not to ask her. I was supposed to be at the hall but why was she detaining me here without saying anything.She cleared her throat and smiled at me. The smile on her face was clearly forced and fake. "This room is dirty, I want it arranged. You can take your time to arrange it."I stared at her in shock. What was going on? Was the wedding cancelled or not? Was Nessa helping me out already?I didn't even know what to think but I didn't want to ask her. I didn't want to disobey her orders too so I began cleaning the room.She instructed me to
King Raymond's facial expression showed that he was very angry and would not waste the opportunity to use that whip on me. "Did you honestly think you could deceive us and we wouldn't be able to find out?" He asked.How could I tell him that I knew nothing about it? I wasn't informed of their plan to replace me as the bride. It would be foolish of me to defend myself and put Nessa in trouble, I wasn't that kind of person. "I'm sorry, Master. I...."The first whip hit my face and sent me on the floor, I didn't even know it was coming towards me until it hit my face, it was so fast.I coughed out blood and tried to stand up in pain but I couldn't. "News flash, you're not smarter than us and you'll never be." He told me.The guards pulled the door open and the three Kings from other kingdoms walked in and occupied the empty seats beside me. "Everything was a planned work that you've failed to realise but I'm going to do you the favour by telling you today," she sat down in front of me
After being locked in the cell for hours, I was taken to King Philip's guest room in the palace. He was on the bed when I got there and my heart skipped a beat as soon as the guards locked the door from outside.I was stuck with this monster.He was taking his tea when I got in and he smiled at me. He gulped down the whole content in the mug and gave a loud and annoying belch."Pardon me!" He apologized.The sight of the tea alone made my throat dry and also made me hungry. He seemed to notice the way I stared at the mug of tea and went out of the room.As soon as he left the room, I looked around to see if there was any place I could use in escaping but I found none. There was absolutely no place I could escape to from his room.I returned back to my position before he returned with some pancakes and tea. He inquired if I would join him for dinner and I obliged. I didn't waste anytime in pouncing on the food and leaving no remnants. Gosh, I was so hungry."You finished the whole panc
Lisa's POV After I finished my makeup, my mother rushed into the room. She said, 'Your future husband is here, don't keep him waiting,' and without waiting for me to say a word, she left immediately. I was annoyed that she didn't even ask for my opinion or wanted to know if I liked. She didn't even care for me. All she wanted was for me to make money for her by getting married to a billionaire. She didn't care about me at all and it was annoying and also sad. Parents should never treat their children like TRASH. They should never do that to their children. It's funny that she thought I was going to marry him. "Mom really doesn't care. I'm the one dating, but I don't mind at all," she tweeted. "Maybe you don't know who you're going to date. I need to remind you. Tom Cruise, the actor on the romantic action series everyone talked about. His parents' estate He is automatically rich because of the 'I knew you remembered' film he acted. He played the role of Charles, an innocent man.
Lisa's POV She rolls her hips back and forth, her hips beginning to tighten under his weight to meet his arms. He tried to cover his face, but his mouth fell open to gasp. She smiled and slowed down, pressing herself against him as he stabbed her. The door opened and Lisa walked in and I slowly was pushing the book under the pillow. I was with my new family now and I was back to human. I couldn't remember anything again but I was told my name was Lisa Reynold. They claimed it was an accident and I believed them. "Hey, what are you doing?" Maya asked with a big smile on her face. According to what they told me, Maya Angela has been my best friend since high school and she really enjoys our friendship. We advise and help each other. We are actually more than sisters because of our love for each other. "Hey honey, I'm not doing anything. I'm just reading" I replied. He hit me with his tongue. I asked "A book?" He licked her lips and asked the next question without hesitatio
I follow him to the end and watch from the darkness. With the key in hand, he approaches a parked police car, unlocks it, and hops inside. The car rattles and creaks from the curb. I sigh as I look at the receding taillights. Yes, he was there but I hoped he wasn't there with his people and whoever he was, I was so ready to find out already.It was good, but not satisfactory. These side streets of the city are too narrow. My heart is pounding with tremendous excitement. My legs hurt from the accumulated energy. The wind is blowing from the south and the pungent smell of cold blood is in the air. Someone had just been killed in the night for probably a wolf sacrifice. You think about going to the beach, imagining walking on the beach with freezing water beating your feet, but it's not safe. If you want to run, you have to go to the canyon.Almost half an hour later, I am standing on top of a hill. My nose twitches as I take in the trail of smoldering illicit leaf fires in a nearby gar
Three Months LaterAlpha Blake was sleeping next to me. From now on, we will turn to humans at any time of the day. It's another reason why I shouldn't have left, sneaked back in the middle of the night, and come back with a bunch of flimsy excuses. He will work late tomorrow. If only it could wait another day. My temples started to flicker. The burning sensation on my skin spread to my arms and legs. Anger formed a tight ball in his stomach and threatened to explode. I didn't imagine we would break up but it finally did. After I was his mate and saved him from the curse, he betrayed me with Georgie and tried to make her his mate. I have to get out of here, I'm running out of time. I played with him one night before our breakup. It's almost two in the morning, it's already late because of this madness, I'm going to sleep. Four nights of memorizing to meet the deadline wore me out. It didn't matter. The patches of skin on the back of my knees and elbows hurt and now burn. My heart wa
Blake's POVCursing under his breath, he stepped out of the house and down the path to the pier, Andrew running behind me. Why would he bring a stranger to the academy? We weren't done with Alex and we heard that he escaped from prison. I looked up as he stepped onto the podium. Duych wagged his tail and leaned over to greet me. “Beautiful dog,” I muttered petting the dog, then, with a worried look on my face, I flashed Andrew a big smile and stepped forward, arms outstretched. We quietly hugged and he backed away. “You brought guests in,” I said, staring at him, then turning to the girl.She looked like she's somewhere in her teens. She wears a pair of ripped blue jeans and a black unzipped hoodie over a crumpled T-shirt with a cross print. "Is she a human or a wolf?" I asked curiously. Up close, I could see that his spiky hair was dark blue rather than black. Two gold rings pierce her right eyebrow and she has a nail in her right nostril. A large gray mouse perched on her left sh
Blake's POVIt's been days now and Hailey still hasn't come back. After that experience that almost killed the guy Georgie sent to help me, I became very scared and unproductive. I didn't want to endanger myself or put anyone else's life in danger but the more I stayed without doing anything, the more lives I was getting in danger. I have never been so confused and scared for her. I just know his life is in danger. She might as well be with this demon but I don't know where. I don't want her to go through that trauma again. I tried to report the incident to the main officials and school authorities but she advised me not to do so as she did not want to put Alex in danger, I stopped.I wish she understood that she was putting herself in jeopardy instead. Days had passed and I still hadn't seen her. I decided to meet with Mr. James again since he was one of the reasonable and trustworthy officers of the Institute. He's the only person I can really put my trust in. He seemed surprised
Lisa's POVTrust me. Yes, she can give him that. "I trust you. And I love you." A deep kiss was his reward, and a small shock when he pursed his bottom lip. Still clutching his arm, he entered his shell, startling her with long, slow strokes. His eyes were fixed on hers. She wanted to shield herself from the intensity but couldn't seem to get out. Her fangs were stretched out and it was so erotic that her body tingled with excitement. She careful wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him Extreme deeper. When he lowered his mouth to her neck, she didn't stop him. She trusted that he would not take her blood without her permission. His teeth scraped lightly against his skin, sending sparks up to his toes. He kissed up to her collarbone, scrubbing hard, then licking her cleavage. He put a hand between their struggling bodies and pressed down on her aching clitoris. She almost flew off her skin. "And you say you're still in love with Blake? Your body doesn't tell me that way. Ca
Author's POVAlex and HaileyHe pressed his knees against her back, holding her still as she squirmed and kicked. It wasn't a smart decision, she realized too late. Her skirt had been undone and with the handcuffs she was at his mercy. He chuckles and kneads one globe first and then the other, giving each one a joyful clapping. "I like you more like that." "Purely scammers," she spat. "What's your stupid rule again? Always be prepared to fight the dirt in a dirty way." She sighed in defeat and dropped her cheeks on the cold ground. "Okay, okay. You won. Now let me go. I don't want to have anything to do with you."He chuckled softly. "You should be happy, I uncuffed you. I've been stuck in this damn cave for three days with you," he whispered in her ear roughly. "Three days with nothing to do but plot my revenge." "Don't do that to Blake. He would never hurt you." Chills ran down her spine and her insides constricted. What did he think? He grabbed her arm and pulled her up.
Since no one believed me about Hailey, I decided to look for her by myself. All around me, the lone crickets making noise clamored for company, and in my chest, my heartbeat was slow and steady, even as my mind worked overtime, thinking of ways to look for Hailey. After a while, the same voice spoke again, but further away, as if traveling with the wind now. "Stay strong, honey. I have been waiting for you. Was this an angel? Or perhaps the Moon Goddess? Even though I was still convinced that no one was actually talking to him, I still couldn't help asking the voice a question, even though I really wasn't expecting an answer. "Who are you?" "I am your past, present and future. I am your DESTINY!" `"You are my destiny? I don't understand what you mean…" This time, the only response I received was a faint jingle of bells. "Of course," I whispered, "I can't live anymore." I would never be so brave in real life. But if this is heaven, why is it dark and cold? Am I dead? Whe
