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
Orlan Titan POVWhen she opens the coffin.I felt alive, but not fully alive.I had the urge to drink something...... which is non other than blood.Harper. She was the first person I set my lifeless eyes on, and I had to bite.I need blood or else I'm not and never going to make it.To her, I know that it all happened all of a sudden, but I have planned everything out.I knew from the time she was born till the time she died.Yeah. I haven't figured out what exactly made her come back to life, but it's never too late.I place my mouth on her neck, and then I suck her blood.Her blood was just something different entirely.It was sweet and different.I found myself drinking more than I had imagined, and when I saw her passing out...I pulled away.I have long known that she's human, but I have also tasted other humans' blood and there's none like hers.I teleported her inside the old hut, and then I decided to clean some trash.The reason why it has been raining earlier is that I could
I continued to hit my fist on the door and suddenly the door opened.I was excited, thinking that that devil of a guy who is known as Orlan has decided to change his mind not to lock me up because he's scared of what I'm going to do to him.Unfortunately! The person that opens the door is one of Orlan's men, and I bet he's not a human either.He isn't huge like the other men that are safeguarding the entrance of the door.This man, in particular, has coffee brown eyes that seem to be reading my inner thoughts and his hair is black mixed with dark brown."Hi! you are not supposed to leave this house, so I hope you don't make trouble for me.....". His voice trailed. "Don't leave!" He added, this time he sounded authoritative.I swallow my saliva hard, not wanting to argue with him.He seems human, but he exhibits a cold aure.He made his way towards the window and then he fully shot the window close while using a key.I swallow harder and stare at him until he finally completes his miss
The wall broke so hard and likewise my back.I wince in extreme pain as I place my hand on my back.Pain is something that I just won't wish anyone to experience.Just as if his brain suddenly returned to him, Orlan rushed toward me and squatted on the floor. "I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" He asked while trying to assist me in getting up from the floor."Don't touch me." I pushed him away, which made him feel his heart crumbling into tiny little pieces."I didn't mean to do....""Get lost beast. You are fucking good at apologizing whereas you ain't drunk when you were hurting me." I barked while pushing him away from my side, as I helped myself to get up."I'm sorry." He mumbled while sounding apologetic."Eat your sorry." I barked, before supporting myself towards the bed."I'm trying to behave like a gentleman here , okay, and the least you should do is try to behave reasonably." He barked at me.He pushed me to the wall on purpose and now he's proudly apologizing.Is he expecting me
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. I quarrel with each other, but our love doesn't allow our flaws to define us. I was ju
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. M
"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
