RALIAI still had amazement written over me as we rode back to the house.I didn’t believe I could actually speak to the moon goddess. This new realization had made me short of words.To my surprise when we got to the house he held my hand as he led me to the dining hall.‘isn’t it too late to eat?’ I wondered as we sat down and he began to open the food that had already being served.“we skipped dinner” he said “I won’t let you go to bed on an empty stomach”“but I am not hungry” I answered but my stomach betrayed me immediately by letting out a very loud growl.“are you sure” he asked with a lopsided grin.I felt the butterflies in my belly just with that single gesture of his. And just like that, his small smiled brightened my mood.If that was all I got from him today, then it is enough to brighten my entire day.I smiled a little and started gulping all the food down hungrily. That night I dreamt that Lesley fell in love with me, I became so special to him that he couldn’t
RALIAI woke up with a throbbing pain between my legs, sweet pain. I admired the dark red marks all over my body. I smiled remembering all the things he did to me, the way he touched me.It seemed I was getting addicted to him, his scent, his touches, his kisses.But the sad thing is, my face drooped as I looked at the other side of the bed.Just like the other day, he was gone. He left again, well didn’t have to be surprised because I already knew I meant nothing to him.I was just a pawn to be used not just in his game of wickedness but also on his bed. But regardless, I love him and was going to let him use me the way he wants.Feeling bad about my ill luck, I stood up, washed myself clean in the washroom and left his room.I decided to go to the garden to clear my head.I met Amelia on the way, she said she was free and offered to keep me company in the garden but I declined, I wanted to have some alone time.The evening breeze in the garden felt so soothing, it managed to calm my
RALIAI requested for breakfast to be served in my room since I wouldn’t be comfortable sitting and eating alone in the dining hall.After eating I rested a little taking the time to brace myself up for the mission in front of me. I was going to search his room again.His husky scent filled my nostrils when I entered his room, ‘I don’t think I’m getting tired of this scent any time soon’ I thought as I smiled while inhaling his scent.‘I can’t get lost in the moment’ I told myself, I had to find the book now.It has to be in the shelve on the wall. So I had to find the key first.I started searching the bedside drawer but then I got confused, first I found a single key and then I found a bunch of keys. They all looked the same.Well I had to figure out which of the keys belongs to the shelve.I started trying all the keys one after the other, starting with the single key which proved abortive.I tried and tried but virtually all the keys failed, but I still had one left. I closed my e
RALIAI turned around to see one of the most beautiful woman I would ever meet in my life time.She had nose looking like they were sculptured from the finest of materials in the whole wide world.She had skin glowing like the moon itself which brightened up the garden, her silver hair flowed behind her as she walked towards me. She got close enough for me to notice her eyebrows and eyelashes were also silver coloured.Indeed, this woman is an embodiment of beauty and perfection. It is such a pity that I didn’t get to see her beauty the first night I had seen her.“why did you disturb my rest” she asked as she sat on the long bench crossing her legs in front of her, her lovely silver eyes looking up at me.I gently sat down beside her on the bench, but making sure I left a distance between us. That wasn’t because I was scared of her, but because I felt she was too perfect for me to sit too close to her, I might stain her perfection with my imperfection.“I wanted to ask something from
LESLEYWe made love again that night, first in the shower then on my bed.I turned my head to watch her trying to catch her breath as we both lay on our backs exhausted after the whole exercise.I rolled over to my side taking her in my arms, cuddling her so that her head rested on my chest.“I love you” I finally mouthed the words to herRALIAI immediately froze in shock as I heard the words come out of his lips.“I love you” he had said to me.I couldn’t believe my ears. I thought maybe I didn’t hear him correctly or maybe it was my imagination speaking.I quickly looked up to meet his piercing gaze.“what did you say?” I asked him in a whisper.“I love you” he said again more audibly.I looked at him wide eyed, with my lips parted in shock.He nodded and smiled at me tenderly.I hugged him even tighter, slowly kissing his chest.‘he loves me too, maybe as much as I also love him. I can’t wait for all of these to be over so that we could be together with each other without any prob
RALIAHe kept pointing out different things to me which made me laugh as we rode through the city in his cart. The sun was just starting to set, as usual spreading those colours that I love so much.I told him I wanted to watch the sunset from an elevated place, he answered that he knew a place where we could watch the sun set clearly.And here we were. We stood in front of a tall mountain, it was awesome seeing something like that.But there was a problem. I was already starting to wonder how I would climb to the top then I felt myself being lifted from the ground, and the next thing I was floating in the air and then I saw myself on top of the mountain. The movement was so swift.“how do you see the view” I heard him ask from behind me, startling me a bit.I smiled and turned towards him. “this is about the nicest thing I have ever seen all through my entire existence” I said truthfully.The sunset looked really beautiful and very amazing from atop the mountain.I watched in awe wit
LESLEYI left early that morning, I needed to go hunting. Even though I felt a little uneasy leaving her alone I couldn't bring her with me.It was a risky outing and she is just a vulnerable human and a woman too, she wouldn't be able to defend herself from an attack and she could get hurt or even killed in the process.Although I left instructions behind to make sure she was properly taken care of. I also told them to watch her carefully incase she gets sick again. She was still asleep when I left.I came back later in the evening to find out she wasn't home.The Servants said she went out for a walk.I was about to fly into a rage."She didn't go alone " one of the Servants said "we had some Servants go with her. You don't have to worry, she is completely safe"I walked out on them and went straight to my bedroom, by instinct I brought out the metal box to check for the contents. Everything was intact.Maybe she really took the book out of curiosity the other day, maybe she actuall
RALIAI watched in awe as he walked out of the room closing the door behind him.I wondered if something mysteriously went wrong with me over night.Did I annoy him, was something wrong with the way I was kissing him? Did he not like it?More than ever I hoped he didn't suddenly hate me. That would break my heart.Well I was already heart broken enough. Who knows if he was with other women. Probably he was with other women who are more beautiful and attractive than me and then maybe he didn't love me anymore.I stood in front of the mirror looking at my body and wondering what might have gone wrong with it overnight. Why did Lesley suddenly reject me like that.I went straight to bed feeling frustrated with myself, I didn't even bother to dress up. I just got into bed with my towel still tied around me.I closed my eyes to sleep.That night I had a disturbing dream, it wasn't a nightmare. I didn't die neither did Lesley.But the dream was bothersome, I saw Lesley with his lovely grey,
LESLEYI was well aware of what Ralia was trying to warn me about, u had earlier gotten the information about the plans they had for me. I laughed it off because it was funny, it was funny because I was prepared for them. After my last experience I had been walking on a technology, although I was not sure initially if it was going to work. But after putting much effort into it I was able to discover that my efforts payed anyways. They had just wanted their time by putting those silver there because I had made weapons to protect me from them. I had weapons that would kill them easier. It did not take long for me and my men to locate their cave, my blood boiled even more when I saw the kind of scary place they had subjected my wife to staying in for days. I would not forgive them for putting her through all of that. I tore away the things that were used as cover in front of the cave with my claws and I and my men matched in. On getting in there I met them punishing one of the
RALIA"Ralia is it that your pregnancy has so affected your brain that you do not know the meaning of climb out?" I turned sharply to look at her. "How did you know my name?" I whispered. "Do you want to start wasting my time right now by asking unnecessary questions? What part of climb out do you no understand? It looks like you really want to be cut open, maybe I would start with your stomach" I obeyed her and started climbing out till I was outside in the open. She climbed out also and tool my hand and started pulling me by the arm. "Where are you taking me?" I asked again but this time I did not get any answers from her. Instead she kept dragging me along till we got to a particular part of the woods, far from the cave. She stopped and turned to face me. "Run" she slowly said. "What?" I asked not believing her words. "Is run also a hard word for you to understand now Ralia?" I turned to look at her again, why was she calling my name as if she knew me? And
RALIAI believed that days would have passed since I was here, even though I could not see the time. I rejected alm the food that they had given me to eat, I even spat on the face of one of them who had come to threaten me. They released me from the chains occasionally to stretch my body out. I heard gentle footsteps approaching me in the room where I was tied, I was blindfolded so I could not see who it was. The footsteps got closer and for some reasons I could feel a familiar presence around me, I was sure it was not that of Lesley. The blindfold was slowly pulled down from my face and I looked up to see who it was. Someone was standing right in front of me with a plate of food. But I could not ascertain who it was since they had a blindfold on, but I was sure it was a woman. "For how long do you intend to starve yourself?" She asked with a deep feminine voice. I kept quiet and maintained a straight face. "Do you plan on answering me" she grabbed my jaw and raised m
Everything still felt like a dream to me, I could not believe all of these were actually happening. But in everything, I prayed that Lesley would not come here. Coming here would be really bad for him and I would not ba able to take it if he got hurt. Since it was dark inside the cave, it was difficult to tell what time it was or how the day went by. I just sat there in pains with the chains that has been used to bind mw to the chair. I looked up when I heard footsteps, it was the same betrayal who had helped the enemies take me. "Why would you this?" I asked in tears. "I thought you were loyal to Lesley". "Loyal?" He spat. "Do you know how long I had mapped out my plans to be able to penetrate Lesley's household and gain his trust? So you know how fulfilled I am to see all my plans playing out right in front of me?" "What do you mean?" "You would never understand when your life is like that of a Disney princess. But I would give you an insight. Do you know the amount
LESLEYIt was almost like I was running mad, I could not believe my ears. My Ralia was gone? I punched the wall severally, all my anger had been directed back at myself, why did I not go with her? Ho could I have been that careless to send her out alone? My heart beat increased with every passing second, I wanted to leave immediately, to go after the bastards that had taken my woman. But my right hand man had insisted we stayed and made some proper planning before going after them to avoid making a grave mistake that could cost someone's like. I was even more agitated because I was told they had help from inside, I could not believe that the same person I had put in charge of her safety was the same person that was used to take her away from me. How could I have been so careless? Why did I let her go alone when I knew that I had a traitor among my men? "It's all my fault" I screamed as I punched the wall once again, causing a burning sensation in my knuckles. "I was not c
LESLEYI rushed to the door and opened it only to find one of the men that I had sent out with Ralia, he had a kind of look on his face that I could not explain, but the look only meant one thing, that something had happened. And it was not whatever it was that had happened was not a nice thing at all. "Where is Ralia?" I asked immediately. I knew at once that something was wrong when he did not answer immediately, had she put to birth in the woods? But I knew that was not the the case with the look on his face. "Where is Ralia?" I asked again, this time with more urgency. "Ralia has been kidnapped!" The voice echoed over and over again in my head even though I did not want to believe it at all. "What do you mean by Ralia has been kidnapped?" I asked in a more mean manner. "She was taken in the woods by a group of armed werewolves, we tried to fight them, but they had help from inside". "What do you mean?" I asked raising an eyebrow. By this time, I was already
RALIA"What do you think?" Amelia asked showing me a beautiful flower growing somewhere in the woods. "It's beautiful" I said absent mindedly. "You see not be enjoying yourself" you said looking closely at me. "We can go home if you like". "I don't want to go home till I am done with my walk" I said with a straight face. I remembered some months back I had equally come out to take a walk without Lesley. Only that this time around, other than missing him I had other feelings, like the pit feelings I had in my stomach, and the pit kept increasing with every step I too. "Then you should be even more active and responsive, stop acting like you are missing your husband already" "I do miss him though" I tried to smile. "But I'm here" she took my hand, and tried her best to make me more alive and I really appreciated her effort, but it was just no working.y mood kept going from bad to worst with every step. We got to a point in the woods, and I stopped to take a look at
RALIAI was awoken by the rays of sunlight that shine into my room that morning, probably one of those mornings that I always woke up late. I stretched my hand and reached out to Lesley's side of the bed but it was completely empty. I opened my eyes fully only to find myself alone in the room. I guessed he must have gone out for his numerous business meetings. A few more months had passed and there had not been any cause of unrest, I was probably really the one overthinking things are that time. Even though I was yet to get over that feeling of being in danger, I was convinced that there was no danger after all. And we had been living our normal lives as usual. It was just few weeks to my delivery date and I was feeling even more uncomfortable with the pregnancy, I could not just wait to put to bed, I could not wait to see what my child would look, I could not wait to carry my child in my arms. It would be one of the best feelings I had ever encountered. The doctor had advi
LESLEYI had no idea why I felt so worried as I saw my wife in that mood, I did not know if to regret letting her handle the sword. But in a way she was right, she needed to learn how to fight and defend herself against any external force. Because even though I had assured that there was no need to be worried, I still felt like something was about to happen. Battle was looming and it was even more confusing because I did not have any lead as to where the battle was coming from or how it would even happen. But one thing was sure, I had vowed to protect my Ralia with my life. I was going to tighten the security around the house for now because I did not for once believe the rogue werewolf was working alone. He must have had other accomplices who probably still be lurking around and waiting for the right time to strike. But what was even more bothersome to me was that I might have an eternal force against me in my own house. And it was even more difficult fishing out the particular per
