LESLEYI stopped the horse somewhere in the woods hoping to get some rest. I felt tired and exhausted.Seven days had passed and I still couldn't find Ralia, I couldn't find their new hideout either.I had gone to the old one but they were not there, they seemed to have relocated.But I could see perceive Ralia's scent in the building. It meant that she was there, they had brought her there.But they seemed to have figured that I was coming and decided to move away from there.I curled my fist into balls as I imagined all I would do to all of these people that had dared to touch what was mine, they must have tortured her because there were so many blood, and they were all hers.The blood looked fresh, that meant she was still alive, at least as at the time they left.They should pray to not have causes any serious harm to her, I not they would have added to one of the many reasons why I would want to kill them in the most miserable manner.RALIAI sat still looking into the red eyes o
RALIAI slowly opened my eyes, they seemed really heavy that it took lots of effort to be able to open them, and yet they were not fully opened.I was lying comfortably on something soft.I tried to look around the environment, but I could not move my head, it seemed to be stiff.I could not make out the environment because everything was blurry."Am I in heaven?" I asked with a faint voice.Maybe I was killed by the werewolves and now I am in heaven. The thought seemed funny to be."Ralia you are awake" I heard a faint voice speak beside me. It sounded like Amelia.I felt a movement, then I saw a blurry image hovering over me.It looked like a woman's face.I blinked repeatedly to get rid of the blurred vision."Can you see me Ralia?" I heard the voice again. The voice seemed to be floating in my head.I finally forced my eyes open.I was in my room, and the woman who had spoken to me was really Amelia."How did I get here?" I asked allowed trying to sit up.The last thing I remember
RALIAMany days had passed and I was feeling a lot better now.I just had a few scars from the really deep wounds.The doctor had assured me that they would go away in just a matter of time.I was sitting in the garden and enjoying the cool evening breeze when the door opened and Lesley came in.He came to sit beside me on the long bench, I rested my head on his shoulder and then he put his hand around me rubbing my arm with his thumb.Within this past few days, he had been more kind to me and had shown me love just like before.I was glad that things were finally coming back to normal.We had gone for walks together a few times, held hands, ate together and even shared a bed.But I noticed he had this weird attitude lately, he always looked moody and had been staring into space.I kept wondering what was bothering him.I had tried to ask him so many times what the problem was but he always brushed it off.LESLEYSo many thoughts ran through my mind as she lay her head in my chest.I
LESLEYI went inside my room and lay on the bed facing the ceiling with my two hands joined together and used to support my head.I had sent some men to secretly go after Ralia in to make sure she was safe and did not get any danger.And also I needed to know where she would go.I started reminiscing on all the memories I had with her.I remembered the day I first met her at her house, that day she was dressed like a prostitute, I remembered how amused I had been when I found out that she was innocent.I also remembered her hilarious offer to tell me a joke.I laughed out loud thinking of those things. Including how she had freaked out on the thoughts of getting flogged.And then I remembered our first kiss, the way she quickly pulled away looking at me with accusing eyes.I sat up on my bed and started to remember all the fun moments we had together.We had made love on this bed, I had help her in my arms right here, and I had woken up next to her right on this bed to.I was trying t
RALIAIt was already dark by the time I got to my destination. It was a small village very far away from Lesley.The people in the village though not rich, but they looked happy and also lived in peace among themselves.But there was something else about the village.It was a werewolf dominated area.I choose to to come here because although I would be far away from Lesley, I would still be close to these people. These people would be a constant reminder of him to me, and that way I would not feel so far away from him. No matter what he would always be in my heart.I rode further into the Village, till I got to a point that I had to come down from the horse and walk beside it instead.Stepping closer into the village, I was met by some men, they must have senses I was a stranger so they stopped me.“Greetings miss” one of them said flashing a smile at me.I responded by nodding my head.“You look rich, are you from around here?” The other one asked.I shook my head.“Aha!” One of them
RALIA“You would definitely enjoy your stay here Ralia” Maggi told me as we walked along the road.She had offered to show me round the village the next day.And here we were taking a stroll around the village. She showed me lots of interesting things.‘I really was definitely going to enjoy my stay here’ I thought to myself.I had woken up early this morning to see her lying beside me on the small bed, it was kind of awkward since I had never had to share a bed with anyone. But it still have me a kind of comfort, and a kind of feeling of acceptance.I gently climbed out of the bed, careful not to wake her up.I had tiptoed to the sitting room only to perceive a sweet smell coming.I traced the smell to find Thelma in the kitchen making breakfast.“Good morning” I said smiling as I walked up to her.“Ralia you are awake” she said smiling as she turned around to face me. “You see, I woke up early to prepare something for you to eat”“Really! That smells really nice” I smiled“Here” she
RALIARight now, I felt like I could fly, I felt like I could do anything, I felt like a bed – a bed that had just broken free from a cage.I was determined never to return to that cage again.I did not know for how long I would be staying there, I did not know where I would go from there, neither do I know what I would be doing there.I just wanted to enjoy my freedom.“Have you met a werewolf before” she suddenly asked interrupting my thoughts.“Yes” I answered “I have met a handful of them. A few bad ones”“But not all werewolves are bad” she said “you know that right? The ones you have met just seem to be bad. But the werewolves here are very nice sets of people”“I know, I have met a good one too” I said.Even though Lesley could not be classified as good, he was still the man I love. And he was good to me too even though I was not one of his kind. But he treated me the way a good person should treat a woman.“Really!” She asked excitedly.“Yes, I was mates to him”Her eyes widen
LESLEY"Get ready all my horses" I shouted out orders to my men as I stood watching them get all the necessary things we needed for the journey.I had woken up that morning feeling very ecstatic, I had earlier made plans the previous day on how to go on this trip.I was even more happy because all thoughts of Ralia was gradually starting to leave my mind completely. Even though I still thought about her some times, like some times I wondered what she would be doing, if she was happy where she was, or if she had fallen in love with another man.Some how I wished that she had found love somewhere else, I wished she would find a man that would love her the way I was unable to. She deserved to be happy, I knew within me they she deserves all the happiness in this world. But still my heart hurts at the thought of her happy with another man that is not me.I had sent some men the previous day to go check up on her, and they came back with satisfactory look, they said she was blending in per
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
