REDShe smiled at me and moved closer to where I sat. She took my hands in hers and closed her sharp eyes. I watched as she started humming a song I couldn’t comprehend. When she finished she opened her eyes and smiled. “On your eighteenth birthday, your mate will come. But beware for he will be a creature of the night…”A scowl crept on my face and I pulled my hands away from her. “A creature of the night?” I squeaked out as my heart picked up a dangerous beat. I was hoping it wasn’t the sort of creature I was thinking. Why would I have to end up with a creature of the night?“A werewolf, my child.” She beamed at me like what she was saying was a good thing and I was supposed to hold her hand and dance around. “It is a prophecy written long ago about the girl born with Red hair in Auradon.”I shifted away from her and hugged myself. What have I done to myself? I shouldn’t have come here in the first place? How could I be mated to a werewolf, a monster? What sort of fuck up prophecy
RedI closed my eyes and deepened the kiss. I sucked on her bottom lip, hoping to feel that ecstasy I have always been dreaming of but nothing happened. Talia probably felt the same way for she wasn’t kissing me back either.“Red, stop,” Talia trailed off as she pulled her lips away from me.I frowned at her. “Isn’t this what you wanted? Why did you stop?” I asked her. I was getting pissed off not because I actually wanted it to but because this was the only way I could forget about my problems. She was the answer and now she was rejecting me. Why?“Red, I am sorry but I can’t do this.”“Why can’t you do it?” I asked in irritation. “Isn’t this what you have always wanted?”Talia moved away from me. She looked like she was having an internal battle with herself but I wasn’t concerned with that. I felt insulted. She had promised to love me. She had asked me to forget about my mate and come to her. Now that I was giving myself to her, she was rejecting it!“I have found my mate.”I stare
Derek"Derek, what took you so long?" Miles, my beta asked as I returned to the pack base.I stayed mute not because I wanted to ignore him but because I didn’t have an answer to give him, yet. The scent of that maiden with Red hair had been so strong that I had to leave the meeting I was having with my board and rushed out into the human side of the forest to see who had that smell of pines and roses all together I was definitely not disappointed.“Derek, are you even listening to me?” Miles asked again when he saw that I didn’t respond the first time.I sighed and sat back on my throne. “How did the meeting end?” I asked instead.He frowned as he knew I was purposefully ignoring his question but he dared not do the same to me. Despite his anger, he had to reply, I was his alpha. He couldn’t deny me of anything even if he wanted to. “We had to postpone it until the rains resumed. And the issue of rogues terrorizing the humans has become too rampant we will have to deal with that at o
REDAfter I returned from my grandmother’s house, there was joy all over my body. Now I could do whatever I wanted and the werewolf would never be able to find me. Not just that but no one would be able to lay claim on me. My body belonged to me now and I could do whatever I deemed fit for me.“Someone looks very happy,” Talia sang on my couch. She had refused to leave my side ever since we returned.I moved my eyes to her and smiled. “How would you feel in my situation?” I asked her.She flashed me the same intensity of smile and moved closer to me. “I would literally flaunt my titties on the streets knowing no one would lay claim on them!”We shared a good laugh at her comment before I remembered what she had told me earlier that day about her mate. “So Talia, you never actually went into the details about your second mate. How did it happen?”Her cheeks flushed as she dropped her eyes to the ground. “Aren’t you late for work?” she asked instead to change the topic.I pulled her clo
DEREKI was still on my search for the maiden I had seen in the forest. The first night I saw her, I followed her till she got to the human side but I couldn’t remember which cottage she had gone into. I went back there and waited but she never came. A few days ago, she passed again along the path but she was with another girl. I couldn’t approach them. I tried trailing after them but she kept looking in my direction, I had to abort the mission and hope that she would come again some other time and hopefully alone.But she never returned.My wolf was getting restless by the minute. I had been cranky with everyone and I had this strong urge to break things as my impatience got the best of me. How could I have missed my own mate? She was right in front of me and I couldn’t even trace her to her house.“Damn!” I exclaimed throwing a shoe I was supposed to wear to the door. The evil thing opened right at that instance and whoever was on the other end, escaped by mere seconds.Thankfully,
REDI left the manager’s office and moved to my space to attend to my first customer. I had my hood on and I felt like a totally different person as I moved. The world seemed to be way below me and I was soaring.“Hey, handsome,” I cooed sexily as I pushed the door to my space open. It was an old man from my town.“Oh, I thought it would be Red,” he said uneasily and I smiled under the hood.“Well, your Red is going to be off duty for a while. I am Red riding hood, how may I please you sir?” my gown was an easy fix. I pulled the straps off and like the rain, it came falling down my feet. All I had left was the red hood around my shoulders. But my breasts were firmly smiling at the man in front of me.His eyes flashed with excitement. “This new kink is exciting,” he exclaimed breathily.“Take off your pants, sir,” I cooed again. I was eager to try out the power of the hood on him. Maybe I would want to fuck him as much as he wanted to fuck me. Maybe the mate curse of not being able to
DEREKI paced back and forth in my room awaiting Miles's return. He had been gone the whole day and I was starting to get worried. What could be keeping him? Did he find her? Did he not? I couldn’t tell and the suspense was killing me. To ease my tension, I slipped out to the forest and changed into my wolf.The sensations that filled me as my claws came out from my fingers and as my tail emerged slowly with my complete transformation were enough to ease my stress. Being in my wolf form always helped to calm my nerves down. The feel of the winds on my fur was always an underrated therapy. I ran around for a while easing out my stress until I was completely numb. I strut back to the pack house and slipped into my room. Thankfully brown eyes welcomed me."I was starting to think you went off on your own," Miles said the moment I walked into the room."I am starting to regret giving you access to my room," I stated with a roll of my eyes. If I had the time, I would have given him an ear
DEREK“I don’t think having a human as a mate is a bad thing. I just feel like they are really fragile and the fear of wanting to always protect them might take from the little time you even have to spend with her.”I crossed my arms and glared at him. “What then is the problem?”“She already has a mate.”Again my brows rose at his answer. “How is that even possible? The goddess doesn’t make mistakes. Are you sure about this?” I asked him.Miles nodded his head weakly and I realised he was telling the truth. But how could the goddess assign more than one mate to the girl?"Do you feel any physical pain?" I asked him. If the girl had another mate and he indeed, met her, surely he should be feeling pains as she sleeps with another partner."Not yet. I hope it doesn't come," he whispered as he dropped onto my bed.I felt bad for him and in that instant, I didn't even remember my own troubles anymore."You know what let's go see the eye of the mother. She would definitely have an answer f
“Mish! Get your ass down, dinner is ready,” my younger sister, Evelyn, shouted from downstairs. I came back from school three hours ago and I’ve been on my bed sulking and constantly resisting the urge to scream at the top of my voice.Mrs. Shantel and Mr. Brett? How long has that been going on under my nose? I stalked Mr. Brett well enough to have known. I sat up swiftly and stretched my hand to pick my phone from my nightstand. Impatiently, I logged into Instagram.Pfft, of course I’m not on Instagram. I logged in with my sister’s account. Being bullied offline is only the much I can bear, thank you very much.It didn’t take me much time to get to Mr. Brett’s profile. I stared at his relationship status and it stared back at me. It was boldly written SINGLE. Just to be sure, I wore my glasses and glanced hard at it. It still remained SINGLE. I searched for Mrs. Shantel’s profile and found out that she was married.“Then why the hell were you fucking someone not your husband!!” I scr
It was the early hours of Monday morning, 6:00am to be precise, and I was already in the cobwebby school basement, tucked away in the only neat corner. Of course, the neat corner of the basement, which I had turned into my niche, was cleaned up by me. You must definitely be wondering what kind of psycho cleans up the school basement to spend her mornings and what for! Well, to cut the long story short, it was my only means of survival. If I wanted to get through my remaining days in high school, then I had to do this. This was me doing what I did best, hiding away from my sworn enemy, traitor, rival, tormentor, give it all the name you could think of. Synonymous to those names is Kelly Parker. Kelly is the Queen bee of Beverly High. I hate her with all my heart, but she’s beautiful. Breathing-taking kind of beautiful, I’m not going to lie. I just hate her the more for that, because why should she be so perfect? Of course, she is the head cheerleader and she is dating Bruce Paschal,
Ariel's POV For two days after that, I waited for the man to show himself. It was almost like he purposely ignored me. When I realized that he wouldn't show himself unless something drastic happened, I waited for the guard that brought my food -food I refused to eat since I've been held in here- to appear. The moment he rounded the corner that led to my cell, I yanked off the pendant from my neck. I went instantly invisible. When the guard reached the cell and saw no one, the tray containing the food fell off his hands, and he let out a scream. Two more guards rushed in, probably thinking I managed to subdued their colleague. When they saw what he saw, they all trembled out of shock. "Report the incident to prince Eric right now!" One of the guards yelled to the other one that came in with him. That one nodded and rushed off to deliver the message. The guard turned to the one that brought me the food, looking at him in a suspicious way. "Did you let her off?" He asked."What the he
Ariel's POVIt felt like my ears just deceived me. I blinked once, then twice. I looked at the man who had just finished pleasuring me -the tingles and soreness between my legs were the testament of that fact- like he was out of his mind. And perhaps he was. Otherwise, why would he sprout such nonsense about arresting me? And that too for what? For stealing? Me?I looked at him and shook my head. Sure that I heard him wrong. I waited for him to take his words back, but he didn't. When a minute or two passed with nothing from him to refute his words, I lifted up my tied hands and tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. The eyes he turned on me were so cold and stony, I shivered."Are you serious about arresting me?" I inquired from him. The river made a ripple effect and I was reminded of the fact that I was gone for too long. If I didn't return back to my room as soon as possible, there was every possibility that my father would find out about my disappearance. It that happen
Eric's POV "The real thing I have here could do a better job than that toy!" I shouted at her from the shadows. I watched as the toy fell from her hand because of the shock she experienced."Wh-who is th-there?" She sounded as scared as she felt. I saw her looking around in the darkness, probably thinking of where to hide from the predator that sneaked up on her. My first thought was to let her suffer a sudden heart attack, just as she had done for me. That would be the easiest revenge I could take on her. But my tratious body refused to comply with that act. How could it? Somehow, I found the courage to get out of the palace after three days of hiding in my room. My courage wasn't bold enough to leave during the day when I could feel all eyes on me, so I did it by night. I was already angry when I found myself walking to this place rather than anywhere else. I was even about to turn around when I heard someone moan my name softly. I traced the voice and I saw the same girl moaning
Ariel's POVFor three days after I returned to the house, I couldn't help but think about how I would be able to get my Dada to release me from the home imprisonment he kept me in. Even as I paced to and fro the length of the room I was in, no idea came to me. I balked at how it was becoming increasingly hard to think straight these days. Each time I sat down to think, only the thought of Eric and what he would do to me came. I would spend hours and hours fantasising about the man. By the time I realize that I needed to think of a way to get out of the mess I was in in order to actually see him, I would start thinking of an escape plan. Barely five minutes into the deep thinking, I would find myself thinking about Eric again... just like I currently was.I was floating on top of my bed. My hands were on my breasts and I kept culling and squeezing them the same way I saw Eric did that day at the beach. I moaned as I imagined it was his hands playing with my breasts instead of mine. St
Eric's POVAs mother continued to hold me, she patted my back softly with her hand. I knew I was displaying a moment of weakness to the queen, but at the stage where I currently was, none of all those palace rules mattered to me. I just wanted someone to show me that I wouldn't go crazy because of a certain human.Was she even hunan? Someone that could play with another's person's feelings like that didn't deserve to be regarded as a human. "She's a selfish, cunning, and the most heartless person I've ever seen!" I bursted out, unable to contain my contempt for the woman.My mum didn't say anything and just continued to pat me like she was already doing. The outburst, however, gave in to the anger I had been trying to rein in ever since I woke up that morning and found out about that girl's betrayal."How could she have deceived me like that?" I let out again.To me, she was stupid. If she wasn't, she would have realized that I was already infatuated with her. She could have easily d
Eric's POVI didn't know what to make of the situation that happened just a few minutes ago. Ever since I collapsed on my bed, I found it extremely hard to get up. How could I when it felt like my world was crumbling down beside me?I found it hard to believe within myself that the same girl I trusted enough to bring into the palace. The same girl I was so worried about I didn't want her to spend an entire night outside during the cold. The very same girl we spent the same night on the same bed, pleasuring each other to stupor. I couldn't believe that the same girl had thought nothing wrong about betraying me.How could I have been so draft? How could I have let her deceive me just like that? Why didn't I see beneath the fake skin she was wearing to the real one? Now that I thought about it, her excuse of getting lost while with her friends seemed flimsy. Heck, everything about her felt and sounded completely fake. I was sure that the reason she approached me in the first instance wa
CHAPTER THIRTEENARIEL'S POV Sebastian sat across me with an intense look in his eyes. I reckoned I would have the same look if someone sat me down to tell the exact story I was telling him at the moment.It happened to me yet somehow I found it unbelievable. It just felt like the kind of shit that should only be possible in movies. Poorly scripted movies."So you opened the door to the right-"I nodded. "I opened it."He leaned in closer to me almost as if he wanted to merge with me. His eyes bulged out in their socket and his teeth clattered. Goosebumps appeared all over my skin as I remembered how I felt in the dark corridor turning the door knob."I could have swore he was behind me- breathing just behind me." I said as I controlled the impulse to cringe.Sebastian gasped. "Was he there?"I shook my head. He wasn't there when I turned around but the presence didn't go away. It stuck with me even as the door opened."What did you find inside?" Flounder asked speaking for the first
