Elizabeth

The darkness surrounded me as I turned around. I could not see anything. But when I lifted my palms from my hips, I was… ominously… glowing?

“Where am I?” I asked myself, but it was from my mind. I didn’t even open my mouth!

I wandered around, trying to find some light, but I could not find anything. Suddenly, I got goosebumps when a soft wind passed through my skin behind me. Whatever gut made me turn around was scary and engendered anxiety in my mind.

“Hello, dear.”

I gaped at a lady behind me. She was wearing a black cloak, making her half-face only seen. Her voice was sweet yet sent chills through my skin, making me step back.

“W-Who are you?” I asked tremblingly.

The sides of her red lips rose, but the set of her teeth was still hidden.

“I am no one,” she said, “but you are someone you will need to recognize.”

Somehow, her voice was soothing me. Her presence and the darkness around us dreaded my system, but her voice and words were comforting rather than fearsom

  • The Alpha's Sanity   Saved My Life

    ElizabethMy adrenaline rush almost killed my mind to think and I could almost have a heart attack anytime. I inhaled deeply as everything went fast. A while ago, I saw myself falling from the mouth of the well, the darkness was before my eyes from below, and assumed the water that my body would hit if my fall would continue.I just heard Nikita screaming my name and the kids crying out. Suddenly, I felt a strong grip on my wrist. The pain of its hold made me squirm and my heartbeat stopped for a minute.“Ah!” I exclaimed.When I opened my eyes to look at who held me, I saw the face of the man who was accompanying Nikita. My lips parted as I saw darkness in his eyes. It was an unusual blackness. It felt like the color of his eyes… was not real.Before I know it, he was pulling me up from falling. I also helped him by patting my feet on the rocks from the well. I could hear his breathing against my ear when he lifted my body and I hugged his nape to completely remove myself from the mo

    Diego I woke up with a cloudy mind. The sun rays from the hut I was lying in penetrated through the wooden small holes in the ceiling. I was on the wooden bed rather than the floor just has always been happening throughout the years. After I become my werewolf’s skin, I would see myself waking up on the floor and don’t remember anything that transpired. But now, I even remember what happened last night. I was walking through the Dark Forest, being able to watch the beautiful full moon and not killing anyone. I could not even taste anything that I could have eaten from the forest. It only means that I did not hunt. My head turned to where I have been --- the pasture where I saw Elizabeth lying on the ground. I would have helped her, but then, I remembered the numerous steps of someone else who was nearing and calling her name out. And then… now… I am waking up remembering the beautiful night! Everyone said that I was a cursed werewolf. My father was the primary source of what every

  • The Alpha's Sanity   Conversing About The Plan

    “I know. For me, it is even impossible to comprehend. But last night, it changed my mind.” I gazed at him hard. “Nothing is impossible,” I said slowly and inhaled, as if grasping some air before I revealed that, “and the curse suddenly stopped.” I could still remember everything going dark during my transformation after my preliminary battle with my brother. The pain took over my body before I growled like a devilish creature. The second I remember is when I slowly opened my eyes and immediately saw Elizabeth’s face. She was lying on the ground, unconscious and hurt. I touched her face and head, and she flinched after that. I don’t know what I did, but then, I realized that I was back from my human transformation when it was still full moon. My eyes alternately looked at the moon and my naked body. And then Elizabeth who I concluded was the one who made me transform again. Though I don’t know how she did it, I think my animal skin went to her. Thank goodness I did not kill her! I

    Elizabeth“Oh, really? I can use this cocktail dress, Nikita?”Nikita giggled and gave me a casual thumbs up. “Of course! Come on! Wear it!” she urged me.Because she was encouraging me to wear the dress she makes me borrow, I ran enthusiastically to the privy beside her room.“I’ll wait here!” she said from her room when I went inside the privy.Currently, after doing the house chores, I went to her house just like we talked about when I was picking up water from the well. She is making me raid her wardrobe to get dresses I could borrow for the fiesta and bonfire show tonight.Whatever is going inside my head, it is the fire dance a masked female dancer will be doing. It is the most awaited event in our village since it is the day the village was baptized as where the first queen was born in this world. And it was believed that the queen had the power of fire.When the cocktail fit, I went outside of the privy while pulling the upper part of the cocktail that had beautiful intricate

    Elizabeth“A-Ahh,” I mumbled and smiled fakely. “Okay.”I just averted my gaze from him and continued walking even though he is just beside me. The horse’s hooves only engulfed the whole shortcut we are taking at the moment. I kept clearing my throat, while he is just being silent.It's not that I want to talk to him, okay? It’s just that I don’t understand why he is following me. It’s his responsibility? Where is the logic on that?“Ummm, the sun is already setting. Why don’t you go home?” I said and looked up at him.He looked down at me. “Then don’t you think you should ride with me so we can get home faster?” he asked me.“Uh, no, thanks. I prefer walking alone,” I said.Doesn’t he think that he should be the one offering me?“Ride with me, Elizabeth,” he said, his voice raspy.The sound he made while saying my name went to my stomach, flattering me. I don’t even know why. It just sounds different. It is unusual. Oh, no. Not that it is not usual, but it is surreal.He sighed and d

    ElizabethOh, my goodness!“W-Wait!”I exclaimed and even stupidly reached out my hand so I could chase him. He was so fast at his strides that running towards him felt so slow. I could see his white shirt and ripped shorts with worn-out boots on his back.“Diego, you can’t-““Elizabeth?”“Mom!” It was too late when the door of our house opened and I met my mother on the threshold. She was in her brown cardigan and wool dress. I gulped and fixed my scarf on my neck when her eyes fixated on it.She has been warning me not to let anyone see it. It would be too dangerous since mortals despised the werewolves. The war between them is cold yet still ongoing. The gap should be visible and people should be aware about the beasts. Being marked by one of them would be mean to be executed. And I don’t want that to happen.“Why did you only come home? The dinner will be served any minute,” my mother said.“I’m sorry, mother. I just got home from dressing up for bonfire night,” I reasoned out a

    Elizabeth“Come here!”After I saw my mother turning her back to regard the dishes at the back of our house, I immediately turned to Diego and pulled him to the living area where we could talk. He also did not restrain himself. He let me pull him until we arrived in front of a wooden sofa.“What was that?” I said, my chest heaving up, and pointed in the direction where the kitchen is. “Why did you introduce yourself as my suitor?”Diego only raised his eyebrow simply. Now that he is near, I could distinguish that he is a truly handsome man. But it does not matter anymore. I am pissed because of what he was saying to my mother.“Why? Can’t I court you?” he asked, almost his tone as innocent and as if he did not do something wrong.“You can’t!” I said dramatically. “We just met today, okay? So it would be impossible for you to like me immediately.”His face became disgruntled and his eyebrows furrowed more. I tried to demonstrate my arms upward and downward so I can pinpoint it to make

    Elizabeth“Elizabeth!”My eyes went to who called me. It was Prince Ronald. He was wearing casual clothes and he did not have horsemen behind him. Different from the usual, he was also not mounted on a horse.Grinning ear to ear, he waved his hand while going toward me. I smiled at the prince and bowed a little bit for him. I even almost forgot Diego’s presence beside me.“Your Highness, good evening,” I greeted him and gave him a polite smile after I bowed down. “May I ask what are you doing here in the village?”“Oh, I went here to watch the bonfire event,” he said, and using his head, he pointed to the village’s huge circle.I parted my lips. “You watch the bonfire event?”“Of course. I watch it every year,” he said. “Do you also watch it, my lady?”“Well, yes, since I was a kid. I love the story told of the fire queen, so I would never miss an indispensable event like this,” I said.“Hmmm, you could be a fire queen yourself,” he said and surveyed his eyes from my head to foot. “Yo

    Maybe it was the fact that I was bothered what happened last night that I was spacing out when I went to the office the next day of work. “Secretary Castro? Are you okay?” an employee asked me when she approached me. “The paperworks you are holding are being blown away from your table.”“Huh?” I said and turned my head to the direction of my cubicle. My eyes widened when I saw that my papers are being blown away from my table that is caused by the huge air conditioner’s fan. It made me curse and ran towards it. “Shit!”The employee also lurched forward to help me get them. She kept raining me with questions if I am okay, or why I have not noticed my paperwork. I just kept nodding because I just want everything to be organized, and yet I a messing it all up. “What about your coffee, ma’am?” the female employee asked me again innocently.“Fuck…” I murmured and dropped all of the paperwork on my table. “Why is my day doing this to me?”Without wasting time, I approached the coffee mach

    NARRATION“What do you mean the vampires are alive?!” Queen Jeany exclaimed and stood up from her throne chair. “That is impossible! They are long dead!”Her loud exclamation echoed inside the throne room where all the royalties of Kingdom Monjour are holding a royal conference to discuss some serious matters. The queen is interrogating a village’s hunter, when it informed the guards that he saw creatures that are lurking inside the Dark Forest. Her Majesty was hyperventilating with her navy blue gown, shining silver crown, and expensive jewelries that she had bought from different kingdoms, except her necklace that is owned by her mother queen.The scared hunter that is hugging his bow jumped because of the furious queen. “I-It is true, Your Majesty,” he stammered and gulped intensely. “When I was targeting a reinder from the lake, I was stopped when I saw a pale man in his black clothes. He was showing his sharp fangs and red eyes under a narrow tree. I could still remember

    Just like I've said, Viramos is a small town. There was clearly no doubt that what transpired last night outside our boarding house scattered around our batch. "Talagang sinugod si Melanie kagabi?""Naglasing ba naman sa boarding House no'ng Oscar."Nag-igting ang panga ko nang marining ang dalawang classmates ko na nag-uusap sa aking likod. I pretended to be listening to the discussion of our instructor, but the topic behind me is ringing in my ears, distorting my focus on the class. "Absent pa nga siya ngayon, oh? Siguro nahiya.""As in nakita mo talaga kagabi?""Oo naman! Magkatabi lang kaya kami ng boarding house nila Melanie. Nagce-cellphone kasi ako no'n sa terasa, tapos nakarinig ako ng ingay. Sina Melanie na pala-""Excuse me. Pwede bang pakihina ng mga boses niyo? Medyo hindi ko kasi marinig si miss dahil sa inyo."I immediately gazed at Irise who seemingly is now irritated.

    "Lagi ka talagang aabusuhin dahil sobrang bait mo," sabi ni mama sa akin habang kumakain kami ng hapunan. "Hindi pwedeng ikaw nalang lahat, Jill. Magtira ka naman para sa sarili mo." Nadiin ko ang pagtusok ng kutsara sa karne ng isda dahil sa irita ko. Nakatalikod si mama sa akin dahil nasa upuan ako, habang siya at ang dalawang kapatid ko naman ay nasa lamesa. "Oo, mama. Oo," sagot ko nang matigil siya. Mukhang nahalata niyang ayaw kong pinapangaralan ako ngayon dahil sa pagod kaya natahimik din siya. Hindi sa padabog ako kumain ulit, pero nagpatuloy ako nang nakasimangot. Ramdam ko pa ang tingin ng kapatid kong babae sa akin, pero hindi ko na siya tiningnan pa. Umalis ako sa boarding house dahil gusto kong matahimik ang buhay ko. Tapos paparangalan pa ako rito? Ano, dahil lang sa tumigil ako sa pagtatrabaho at wala na akong naibibigay na pera, gaganituhin na nila ako?

    I could see through his eyes that he was being affected, especially when he slightly flinched the moment I slid my hand down to his necktie. Without further ado, I grabbed the paper he signed and stood up straightly. He was still motionless while I was flipping my hair, his gaze being serious at the moment and the playfulness has been eradicated after I played with him.“I am sorry to disturb your consciousness, Mr. Montenegro, and take that as a lesson to never mess with me,” I said firmly and turned my back on him, not regretting every word I said.Does he think that I forgot that he insulted me in their first and second dinner in their mansion? If he just knows me, he would know that I don’t easily forgive and I also do not know how to forget. Duh!I rolled my eyes while walking throughout the busy hallways that contained employees who greeted me. I rode an elevator to go to my boss’ office where I know that is having his work time in his office.“Good afternoon, sir,” I greeted wh

    Obsession and love are two different things. And Elizabeth would not want to experience chasing a person who can’t even fight for her. But it is even worse for her to destroy herself by loving a person too much. Too much that she would do anything to own him but would hurt other people. Elizabeth hastily opened the door of the office where her cubicle is located. It is opposite the main office of the independent director and just one looking up at the face, she would confront the door of it. But as soon as she sat on her swivel chair, she did not bother looking at her boss’ door. Instead, she placed her both hands on the side of her head, shut her eyes tightly, and hyperventilated because of what happened. Cross would surely be angry about what she did. He might be even believing Hannah instead of his girlfriend, so it is consolidated with a conclusion that he would never go after her. Not to mention the confused expression of the chairman towards her. What about the t

Before he could even step forward when he subtly reacted because of the slap Prince Ronald gave me, I glared at him and shook my head.I already said that he should trust me! Was the idea of him going here bad? He should have not been here!I groaned in pain when Prince Ronald caught my chin again and forcefully made me look at him. He was smirking devilishly and it disgusted me to think that I respected him a lot before when he is this fucked up.“I swear. I will make your life miserable forever,” he said. “I am looking forward for you to do that,” I whispered back.Because I might be doing that to you.He retreated while watching me being seized by the royal guards.
