Cold

It was cold. And I mean cold.

I grabbed my blanket... Well, I grab my torn pieces of clothes which I had used to cover myself.

Covering myself properly, I fold like a baby, and continue sleeping.

Seems the sky is not in correspondence with my peaceful sleep.

I felt as if my heart was going to be frozen into ice.

Without any warning, I force my eyes open.

Immediately I opened my eyes, and all I could see was a beautiful castle.

I scanned what was beneath me, and found out that I'm sleeping on a big king-size bed.

What I had thought to be my torn pieces of clothes is a big bedcover.

'Where am I?' I asked myself, with my brows slightly arched.

The room is dark, and the only light that could be seen is the light coming from the moon.

Slowly I sat down properly in the bed. 'Could it be that my parents drugged me, and sent me off to my old suitor?' I asked myself, but couldn't answer.

I bite my lower lip, and quickly let go of the bedsheet.

Despite the amount of cold that I'm currently feel

    Day turns into days and night turns into nights.My life kept on getting miserable, and all that I could do was count the day till my marriage.Well! not that my parents want me to do a chuff marriage, but instead they just want my so-called husband to pay the dowries and that's all.Well! I'm glad that they still respect me a little bit, by telling him to pay my dowries.I'm still sad inside, and currently, I have just fifteen days until my marriage.If the fifteen-day eventually completes, then I would be given to that old jerk.It still surprises me that my parents would do something like this to me.Though sometimes I feel that they aren't my parents because they don't render to me a love that parents give to their kids.The way they treat my two siblings always makes me think less.I could still clearly remember that sometimes my mom does insult me, telling me that she doesn't know why she saved my life.The funny question is 'When?'Did she plan on killing me after childbirth?

    And after receiving a slap from my Mama, I was asked to do a lot of house chores.When I completely sobered up was when I realized that the reason why my parents are annoyed is as a result of the fact that I woke up at half past nine. 'Good one Scarlett. Keep getting yourself in trouble.' I mumble within myself before eventually continuing my chores.My Mama has given me an offer that I shouldn't eat until tomorrow, and currently, I don't plan on going against her order."So what exactly made you wake up by this time today?" Addison asked.He's currently in the kitchen dishing his lunch.My Mom, Dad, and likewise my baby sister have all had lunch except for Addison.Well! I didn't plan on eating anything so I'm all good."The usual," I mumble, as I continue to watch the dirty dishes.I do tell my brother about the guy I usually see in my dream, and my brother is the one who has urged me to try to speak up whenever I see the person.It's crazy that my brother doesn't see me as a crazy

    "You are going to go to your husband's house today." My Mama said, with a hoarse voice."Huh?" I asked while sitting down properly on the bed.It's nice that my Mom didn't use water to wake me up today, but I'm having a feeling that I woke up late."You heard me, Scarlett. Pack your things and get ready, because you are leaving this house today, for I'm tired of your useless bullshit." She yelled, before turning around to leave.It amazes me to see Ashley inside my dungeon, and not to mention the fact that she has never visited this place for like forever.My Dad also followed my mom out of the basement and I'm left with just Ashely and Addison."I'm going to miss you, Scarlett!" Ashely mumbled.My heart skipped a bit, because of what I heard her say. "Nah! I won't miss you at all, and I also don't mind if you find death wherever you are going!" Ashley added. Well! This sounds more like her."Ashley!" Addison called out the name of my younger sister with a hoarse voice."What? Don't p

    After I have successfully offloaded all my belongings... My parents waved at me and drove off.'Just like that!'"Good evening sir." I greeted my husband whose name I no longer remember."Ohh, honey! Please just call me with any pet name of your choice okay. I don't mind at all." He said while smiling wide at me.If only he's aware that the pet name which I have in store for him is none other than 'Jerk!'"Alright!" I mumble, not wanting to get in trouble.He helped me to carry my belongings inside his house, and then I figured out that he has a lot of visitors in the sitting room."Guy's! This is Scarlett, my wife." He said to introduce me to his visitors.I felt like an individual who has just been thrown into a lion's den.I forced a smile and waved them slightly. What else can I do if not waving?"Alright! Go and freshen up because I know you must be exhausted from the long trip." My..... Well! my husband said.I don't know why he's being kind to me, but for now, I'll just play al

    "Get her!" Mr. Jerk yelled, causing all his friends to quickly get their asses up from where they were sitting, as they made their way towards me.Without thinking twice, I ran towards the room and quickly shut the wooden door."Open it, young lady!" They all yelled in unison.I dare not open it. I'm not even stupid to think about opening the door to embrace my death.They kept on hitting the door, and if I don't do something quickly... Then the door would open.I use all the strength left in me to push the dirty bed with its wooden stand towards the door, at least it can buy me some more time.The thing is I can't stand like this forever, and suddenly..... My eyes landed on the window.I didn't bother to grab any of my belongings as I slowly opened the old wooden window.Everything in this man's house is old and mostly made of wood.When I'm successful in opening the window, I don't care to look at what's on the floor before jumping out the window, which causes me to step on a nail.

    "Arrhhhh" I screamed, but couldn't pull away from the skeleton.Right in front of my eyes, I saw the skeleton having flesh.I mean real-life flesh.I tried pushing him away but still to no avail.My blood was all drained. Well! This is it.Even though I told myself I don't mind getting killed by wild animals..... The truth is I lied.Getting killed by a wild animal isn't a death I wish for, and now..... A skeleton is trying to kill me.I know that if I die then legend would have it that there was a girl who ran into the woods and got bitten by a skeleton.Perhaps! Who knows, my head might eventually end up in a museum.Is my death worth it?The hot stream of tears flowed down from my eyes as I finally gave up.Giving up the ghost isn't a bad thing I guess..... Besides, I can finally leave this miserable Earth that's filled with wicked humans.Even though my eyes are still closed, I didn't die.'Is my spirit not supposed to leave my body already?' I asked myself and couldn't answer.Sl

    "Ohh!" I mumble, before nodding my head."Still! I'm sorry for scaring the shit out of you." He apologizes once more.I remain quiet, not knowing what else to say.Besides, aside from my brother Addison, no one gives a shit about manners when they are close to me, so I'm already used to it."Do you always apologize?" I find myself asking."No. I don't know why I'm apologizing to you." He stated."Ohh. So what now?" I asked since I don't know what else to do or say."You..... You would have to go back to your parents, or if you prefer you can just go back to your husband, by the time the sun kisses the sky." He stuttered."And how did you know that I'm married?" I asked because I can't remember myself telling him that."I know a lot of things about you. Just the same way I know that your name is Harper." He replied, which made me recall the fact that I have dealt with the weird name he had given to me."Alright. I want to make one thing straight. My name is Scarlett, and not Harper oka

    As I was about to jump out of the window, I suddenly heard Orlan's voice."Boom!" He shouted, with a deep voice that made my heart jump out of my chest.I freak out and find myself falling backward."Were you trying to run?" He asked, and it seems that he was amused about what had just happened to me."Did you always do that?" I asked while placing my hands on my chest, to stable my breathing."I don't. I just find it amusing to do that around you." He uttered, which caused me to arch my brows. "I mean doing that around you just feels normal." He tries to explain himself."Why didn't you use the door?" I asked him because I was expecting him to use the door."I don't know!" Came his reply. "Do you still want to leave or do you care to have lunch?""I want to leave." I declare, before making my way towards the door.I'm expecting him to stop me but he didn't.I held the door handle, holding my breath as I waited for him to stop me but he still didn't.I turn around and gaze at him.Did

    I gaze at the afternoon sky before smiling. Now no one idealizes Orlan away from me.I have a baby who's yet to be born, and I and Orlan are going to raise our child in a way that is loved by God, and we are not going to treat our children differently, just as the way my parents had done to me and my siblings. Orlan has been just a nightmare to me from my very first encounter with him. He appeared in my dream and pleaded that I should find him. Well! Who would have thought that finding Orlan is the best thing in life? Finding Orlan in the forest inside the coffin is just like finding myself. My husband and I might have gone through a lot. We argue with each other and later reconcile. Yeah! A true family isn't all about sunshine and rainbows. There are going to be d daddy and also good days, but finding a way to overcome each day with your partner by your side, is what makes a great family.

  • The Alpha Human Mate   She's going to change

    I was really tired to hear the bullshit that was coming out of Ashley's mouth, so without wasting time I pushed Ashley to the side, which made her quickly fire the gun. Everything seems to freeze for a second, and after that second has passed…... everybody began to scream non-stop. I was certain that if I pushed Ashley's hand away, then I would be able to take charge of the position, and I might as well beat her up. I only pushed the hand of this psycho individual, but I never knew that Ashley could be so ruthless, even to the extent of firing his gun. The bullet didn't hit anyone, which I was now happy about. The shock from the bullet and everything, made me place my hands on both sides of my ear. I never knew that being pregnant can also make the body of an individual change. I was still staring at the floor while trying to calm my breathing, but then I felt the hand of someone around my shoulder. Without turning around, I already knew whose hands were around my shoulder.

    "What the fuck are you trying to do with my woman?". Orlan was the one to scream this time around, as he made his way toward me. "Quit coming closer to Orlan! Or I'm fucking going to hurt your wife!" Ashley screamed, which made everybody present gasp in surprise. The music in the background has long stopped playing, and everywhere is so cold, and quiet. I became disgusted with what Ashley had just said. She even has the gut to threaten me or has she forgotten that I used to be a phoenix and a Luna of a great Pack? I frowned, and I was about to close the distance between us. Ashley wasn't staring at me, but she was glaring at Orlan, so I took this as a good sign for me to attack her as quickly as possible, which is before she would become aware. I was almost close to her, but then she suddenly turned around, which took me by surprise. Ashley glared at me with nice eyes, and I didn't even know where she had been hiding her gun, until she suddenly brought it out, and pointed it a

    Throughout the time that Orlan was claiming that I might be due….. I at first believed him, because all the symptoms that I'm currently facing are also the same symptoms of pregnant women being due. Even though I have a feeling that it's all a symptom of pregnancy, I still decided to shove it away, telling myself that I'm I'll. Orlan took me back to the house that day, and shower me with love. He prepared breakfast, lunch, and even dinner for me. I know that he is very happy to spend the entire day with me, which makes him seem like the happiest man in the entire universe. We both cuddle in the bed and sleep while listening to the sound of each other's heartbeat. The next morning, I was so lazy to wake up on time, and before I rose from the bed, I saw that Orlan was no longer beside me. I sluggishly got my ass up from the bed, so that I would be able to use the restroom. I walked back to the room and grabbed a bottle of water. I have gotten so used to staring outside the win

    Three months later!I gaze outside the window while maintaining a smile on my face. My hands are across each other, and I just couldn't help but gaze at the beautiful view that's currently in front of me. The view of the city is Damn beautiful, and it gives a feeling that even the mouth can't explain. I was still staring outside the window when I felt a strong hand wrapped around my waist, and l knew for sure who the person was. I slowly turn around and stare at Orlan, smiling. Orlan smiled back at me, and he planted a kiss on my lips, which made my smile grow wider. It has been more than a year since I and Orlan have known each other, but his kiss still does things that make my body feel the tingle. "Are you still feeling unwell?". My husband asked me, and I slightly nodded my head. I don't know why I'm feeling like this, but for the past week, I have been so lazy and I most times feel disgusted by any little thing. "Don't worry, okay!'' We are both going to visit the hospital

    I frown my face in complete anger as I gaze at Ashley. She also stares back at me in anger which doesn't even make any sense. I was expecting her to plead and apologize for all that she did to my pack, but Ashley just has the heart of a devil. A stone heart to be precise. "Why are you here?" She asked while arching her brows. I suddenly have the urge to laugh out loud, but I can't laugh when someone who pissed the hell out of me is currently standing at my front. "This is my husband's property." I declare as I force a smile across my lips. "Husband?" She asked, sounding as if she had thought that I and Orlan weren't going to get married. "Yeah! And what's that...."Before I was even able to ask any question, Orlan immediately cut in. "You are expected to greet your elders when you see them." Orlan declares. She scuffed. "Is it because you are more than five hundred years old? What on earth makes you think that I would greet you? Besides, age is just a freaking number so I onl

    "Go and grab a bedsheet and bedcover because you are going to spend your night in the sitting room." I declare out of the blue. "Huh?" Orlan mumbled. "You hear me correctly Orlan. Besides you have once insulted me that I should get my ear checked, and you...." I just couldn't bring myself to voice out all the hurtful words he had said to me last night. "Just quickly grab what I had instructed you to grab, or else you are going to spend your night with no blanket " I uttered, completing my previous statement. "Are you joking?" Orlan asked, and he had a confused expression all over his face. "You bet I am," I said while smirking. "If this is my punishment, then I'm gladly going to accept it," Orlan said while smiling. He immediately teleported out of my presence, and I'm stunned to see him reappearing with just a blanket. "Would that be enough for the night?" I interrogate them so I believe that he needs more. Perhaps a bedsheet to spray on the couch. "I don't even deserve to be u

    Since I felt a little bit weak, I decided to take a nice hot bath, to cool my tense nerves. After taking my bath, I made my way outside the bathroom while being completely naked. Orlan had failed to store all my clothes in his room. I exhaled, making my way out of his room as I headed straight to my room. I grab a pair of trousers that frees me properly. The trousers belong to Orlan, but I still decided to put them on. I also wore one of Orlan's shirts and it reached me at my knee level. The shirt is White. "You look so stunning!" Orlan uttered, which was immediately he saw me making my way down the staircase. "What a silly compliment," I mumble while chuckling. Orlan closes the distance between the both of us. "I'm serious! You are stunning." Orland declares. I chuckle but decided to just go with the flow. "What have you prepared so far?" I interrogate. Orlan exhales. "I haven't prepared anything yet." He whispers, biting his lower lip. Currently! Orlan is behaving like a s

    At night time, I felt my back becoming all soar, and I guess it's as a result of the fact that I have been lying down on the bed for a very long time. "Orlan I'll love to head back home." I declare. I and Orlan have been talking to each other, but still, I haven't forgiven Orlan yet. I had made it clear to him that he shouldn't keep his hopes up high. Besides, Orlan needs to learn from his mistake. He needs to learn that raising your hands on a lady is a sin. "But the doctor said that you need to rest." Orlan declares as he gives me a reassuring smile. I frown. "I can rest at home, so what's the difference?" I ask. "The doctor knows what's best for you Scarlett. Perhaps he has his reasons for making such a statement." Orlan utters as he tries to defend the doctor.I shift my gaze towards the doctor that's currently inside my hospital room. Arching my brows I ask. "What are the reasons that require me to stay at the hospital?" The doctor exhaled. "I had made that statement so th
