Regina Where am I? I thought as I opened my eyes, trying to scan my surroundings. The room was dimly lit, with a faint smell of rose hanging in the air. With my body resting on a giant soft bed, why the hell is everything so dark in here? With all the windows closed and covered with blinds, even the lights are off. I sat up, feeling a sense of unease creeping over me. What is this place that brought me here? If my mind is not playing tricks on me, I remember clearly that I was in the forest and saved a giant black wolf. It seemed like a dream, but the memories were vivid. The wolf had been injured, and I couldn't just leave it there. So I helped him, but why am I here? Without a doubt, he was a werewolf. I just don’t know which pack he belongs to. Where is he now, though? Who was that wolf, and why am I here? "Miss..." Someone said this as the door opened and a woman in a maid's uniform entered. "Good morning." She said she was smiling. "Good morning," I replied, my mind still
Regina Why the heck am I so nervous? I took a deep breath, trying to calm my beating heart. I can do it. Right now, as I am making my way to meet the so-called Alpha of this palace, I am feeling déjà vu. Similar emotions are getting on my nerves as I am getting one step closer to the dining area. The anticipation is overwhelming, reminding me of the time when I approached the big black wolf when he was injured. The same rush of adrenaline courses through my veins, making me feel both excited and anxious. But deep down, I know everything is going to be fine. I tried comforting myself with these words as I meticulously dressed up like some kind of fashion diva. Each piece of clothing is carefully chosen to convey confidence and poise. As I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror, a surge of determination fills me. I can do this. God. I groaned. This dress is heavy, and the corset is making me breathless. I tried my best not to wear the dress, but then I agreed, as the maid stated t
Richard Where are you, Regina? I sighed, trying to suppress my anger as I continued with the meeting. I don’t know what I am doing here when there has been no clue as to Regina’s whereabouts for 24 hours. I couldn't help but worry about her safety. The lack of information was making it difficult for me to focus on anything else. At last, she was seen in her school with her friends, but after that, no one knew about her whereabouts. I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease, wondering if something had happened to Regina. The longer she remained missing, the more my concern grew. I hoped that she was safe and that we would soon find out where she had been all this time. I have been restless the whole night after Sam called, asking for help tracking Regina's whereabouts, but there isn't a single hint about her location. ‘All I want is to leave this place and go find our mate.’ My wolf voice fumed in anger in my mind. I want it too. But I can’t leave now. I need to fulfill my duty a
Regina "I should leave now," I said, after eating a little bit of the extravagant breakfast that was served to me. Roger smiled warmly and insisted, "Oh, please stay a little longer. There's so much more I want to show you around the estate." I shook my head at his words. "I appreciate your kind offer, Roger, but I really must be going," I replied politely. As much as I wanted to explore the estate further, I had already overstayed my welcome. Roger smiled, nodding his head. "Let me drive you to your home." I thanked him for his generosity, but he declined the offer. "I can go on my own," I said. But wait, before leaving, I changed into my own clothes. "I think I should change my clothes before leaving." "No need. This dress is a gift for you from me." Roger insisted, "Please, it's the least I can do after your help.” "But I can’t..." I tried to argue. "I insist," he replied. "Keep this a souvenir of our first meeting, please." I sighed in defeat and finally nodded my head at
Regina Richard held my hand, pulling me out with him as he walked out of the palace. I turned my head only to see Roger standing by the front door, watching us leave. Roger's eyes bore into mine, his expression a mix of disappointment and longing. It was clear that he wanted to say something, but the words remained trapped in his throat. As Richard tightened his grip on my hand, "Richard..." I stopped trying to free my hand from his grip. "You're hurting me," I whispered, my voice barely audible. Richard's face softened as he immediately released his grip, realizing the pain he had caused. His eyes filled with remorse as he gently caressed my hand, silently apologizing for his actions. I glanced back at Roger one last time. Roger's eyes bore into mine, filled with a mix of anger and disappointment. I knew this wouldn't be the last time we would cross paths, but now is not the time for something like this. "We should now," I said to Richard as we both made our way to his car. Richa
Regina I nodded, feeling a surge of adrenaline coursing through my veins. As we continued down the road, I couldn't help but wonder who could be tailing us and what their intentions were. The thought of being followed sent shivers down my spine, making me even more alert. I glanced at Richard, silently hoping he had a plan in mind to shake off our pursuers. "Don't worry; just follow my lead and don't look back." I trusted Richard's instincts and followed him into the dense forest, my heart pounding in my chest. The rustling leaves and distant hoots of owls added an eerie atmosphere to our escape, heightening my sense of urgency. With each step, I couldn't help but wonder if we were entering a trap or finding refuge from our unknown pursuers. "Wait here and don't move." He said this before leaving me alone, hiding behind a large tree branch. I strained my ears, trying to pick up any sounds that might indicate danger. The minutes ticked by slowly, and my anxiety grew with each pass
Richard "It's because of you that I am safe," Regina mumbled as she buried her face in my fur. Her voice trembled with gratitude, and I could feel the warmth of her tears seeping into my fur. I want to hold her tight in my arms and assure her that I will always be there to protect her, but I can't shift into my human form now because it would only startle her. Instead, I nuzzled against her cheek, offering a comforting presence as she found solace in my embrace. "I love you; don't ignore me ever again," Regina whispered, her voice filled with both vulnerability and a hint of longing. Regina's grip tightened around me, seeking solace in the familiarity of my presence. Never before has someone's pain bothered me; never before have I cared about anyone's tears; never before have I felt the need to comfort someone else. But at that moment, everything changed. Seeing Regina vulnerable and in need awakened a protective instinct within me that I never knew existed. As I held her, I reali
Richard It's very dark here; the only source of light is a faint glow coming from a small crack in the wall. The air feels heavy and suffocating as if it's been trapped for years. With the stink of blood coming from my nostrils, I cautiously navigated through the eerie darkness, my heart pounding as I wrapped my hands around my knees, holding them tight to my chest. As I strained my ears, the silence was broken only by distant, echoing whispers that sent shivers down my spine. The oppressive atmosphere weighs heavily on my senses, intensifying the unsettling scent of blood that fills the air. I find myself struggling to find any relief or distraction from the constant agony. It's as if every moment is a reminder of the excruciating pain that I can't escape. It hurts so much that the pain seems unbearable to handle. I don't know why I am feeling this kind of pain; the pain doesn't seem to be physical but an emotional burden that weighs me down. It's like a heavy weight on my chest,
RogerI smiled, staring at the image in front of me, feeling a rush of joy and nostalgia. The conflict finally came to an end, and I couldn't help but reflect on the long and arduous journey that led us here. But what didn't happen in the past happened now; Richard and Regina are together, safe and sound, their smiles mirroring the happiness in my heart. Seeing both of them smile and hug each other brought a sense of joy and relief that was indescribable. It was as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, knowing that their love had triumphed over all the obstacles they faced. The sacrifices they made and the strength they showed throughout their journey had finally paid off, and it was a beautiful sight to behold. "Roger..." Richard called, bringing me back from my thoughts. I turned to face him, noticing the tears welling up in his eyes. "Thank you, thank you for being there for us," Richard choked out, his voice filled with gratitude. "Without your support and encouragement,
Richard"Regina..." I mumbled, feeling the warmth of her body again, with her heart pumping again as if it had never stopped. She is alive, and her presence fills me with a sense of relief and joy. The thought of losing her was unbearable, but now that she's here, I can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude and love. "Regina," I mumbled, touching her face and feeling her warm breath on my fingertips. "Richard....," I heard her mumble with her eyes, not leaving mine; her voice was filled with emotion. As she moves her hand to touch my face and wipes away the tears that I didn't even know were falling from my eyes, I realize how fortunate I am to have her by my side. I hugged her tight in my arms and whispered, "Thank you for being here with me. I don't know what I would do without you." As we held each other, the weight of my worries and pain seemed to melt away, replaced by a renewed sense of hope and strength. "Richard..." she mumbled, her head resting over my heart,
Richard"Regina..." I called out her name, hoping for a response, but only the echo of my own voice answered me. She is no more. I felt a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach as I realized the truth. She was gone.The silence that followed was deafening, as if the world had come to a standstill. Memories of our shared laughter and conversations flooded my mind, making her absence even more unbearable. It was a painful realization that I would never hear her voice again. "Richard....," I turned my head to the voice and saw Charles standing there, his eyes filled with sorrow. "Go away..." I shouted through clenched teeth, my anger and grief intertwining in a volatile mix. Charles flinched at my outburst, but he didn't leave. Instead, he took a step closer, his voice filled with empathy as he softly said, "I understand your pain, Richard." "You understand my pain," I shouted with a bitter laugh, my voice laced with sarcasm. "How could you possibly understand? You didn't lose her; I
Regina"You should..." I snarled, ready to defend what was rightfully mine. "You should have known better than to underestimate someone who has learned from their mistakes. Now..." I said as I turned into my wolf form, my fangs bared and my growl echoing through the air. Both Richard and Roger launched from my back to Charles, their teeth bared and their fur bristling with aggression. We attacked Charles, our combined force overpowering him. His attempts to fight back were futile as we tore into his flesh, our primal instincts taking over.Roger took the book of darkness away from Charles's grasp and tossed it to me. As I caught it in my jaws, a sense of triumph washed over me. Richard continued to fight with Charles, with neither of them backing down. When Richard attacked Charles too, the intensity of the battle escalated. Their growls and snarls filled the air as they fiercely clashed, each determined to come out victorious. The adrenaline coursing through my veins urged me to jo
RichardI took my first step after standing paralyzed for so long, one step at a time, slowly. I can't breathe as I watch the scene unfold before my eyes get much more horrifying. The furniture is overturned, the walls are splattered with blood, and a chilling breeze sends shivers down my spine. My heart races as I watch the chaos and destruction that have consumed the once-peaceful room. The eerie silence amplifies the sense of dread, making it difficult to comprehend the unimaginable events that have transpired. I took my parents' photo from the closet, which I was holding tightly in my trembling hands. The image of their smiling faces brings a bittersweet comfort amidst the chaos, reminding me of happier times. And I run through the debris-filled hallway, desperate to escape the horrors that surround me. The adrenaline pumps through my veins, fueling my determination to find safety and leave this nightmare behind. Every creak and whisper in the house intensifies my panic, making
Regina"Let me do you an honor and show them struggling in their own minds," Charles suggested, his eyes gleaming with sinister excitement. He put his hand over my head, taking me to a different place. As I hesitated, unsure of what he meant, Charles continued with a sly smile. "You'll witness the power of manipulation as I delve into their deepest fears and insecurities, revealing the true extent of their inner turmoil." With an air of mystery surrounding his words, I couldn't help but feel a mix of curiosity and apprehension about what awaited me in this unknown realm. And there I saw Richard, bound and trembling, his eyes filled with terror. "Mom!" he shouted with a trembling voice, his fear palpable in the air. And I saw him turning into a five-year-old boy again, his vulnerability laid bare in front of me. "Richard, no matter what, don't come out of your closet." I heard a woman say it from somewhere in the distance. Her voice was filled with urgency and concern, causing my hea
ReginaMy heart skipped a beat as I saw the figure standing in front of me—tall and confident, just as I remembered. But something was different.Tears started pouring from my eyes as a rush of emotions overwhelmed me. He is alive. I couldn't believe my eyes. The last time I saw Sam was when he was lying lifeless in front of me after sacrificing himself to save Richard and everyone else. The pain of that memory had haunted me for nights, but now, seeing him standing here, it feels like a miracle. The weight of grief lifted from my shoulders as hope blossomed in my heart. "Regina, I missed you so much," Sam said, his voice filled with warmth and longing. The sound of his familiar voice brought back a flood of memories, reminding me of all the laughter and adventures we had shared together. My brother, my only family, had returned to me. I couldn't help but embrace him tightly, feeling a sense of completeness and joy that I hadn't experienced for so long. The void that his absence had
Regina"I can't let darkness stop me from moving forward," I thought to myself. "I have to push through and face whatever challenges lie ahead." With renewed determination, I took a step forward, ready to confront the unknown and trust in my instincts. I knew that I could find a way to overcome any obstacles and reach our destination. I took a deep breath and prepared to face whatever lay ahead. With each step that I take, my breathing gets heavier and my heart pounds in my chest, but I refuse to let fear consume me. Each step that brings me closer to darkness makes me lose my strength, and doubt starts to creep in. However, I remind myself of the strength and resilience that have brought me this far. I gather my courage and push through the fear, knowing that on the other side lies growth and triumph. As I cautiously move forward, my heart races with anticipation. The ominous atmosphere grows thicker, making it harder for me to breathe. But I continue with Roger and Richard, who ar
Regina"Then what am I?" I asked, my voice trembling with a mix of fear and anticipation. Roger's gaze softened, and he took a deep breath before answering. "You're something far more extraordinary, Regina." My mind raced with curiosity as I awaited his explanation, desperate to uncover the truth about my identity. The weight of his words hung in the air, fueling my desire to discover the depths of my hidden potential. "You're a Moonfire Guardian, destined to protect the balance between realms." Roger paused, his eyes filled with both admiration and caution. "Your abilities go beyond any werewolf or Lycan I've ever encountered. Your connection to the moon's energy grants you immense power, allowing you to manipulate the elements and heal those in need." "You mean I have the power to control fire, water, earth, and air?" I asked, my voice trembling with excitement. Roger nodded, a small smile playing on his lips. "But be warned," he continued, his tone turning serious. "The moon's en
