It was something Elina wanted to do. Find the sacred midnight flower for her sister's illness. The reason she decided to stay with the king was, so she could get itThis was wrong, the more she walked down the large and dark passageway, the more her back hair rose. It was awfully quiet. The sound of her heels against the tailed floor made her heart race even more.“Okay you can do this Elina,” she kept telling herself, ensuring herself and reminding herself of what she was doing. Elina was shocked when she entered a familiar cold place. Immediately she entered the room, she felt a cold shiver run down her spine. Her lips were already drying, no matter how much she licked them.“Hello, ma'am,” Elina muttered, waving her hand as if greeting the queen. Who was she kidding? The queen wasn't going to hear her.Elina's eyes narrowed into slits. She didn't expect this. The flower was with the queen. It was placed inside the box in the queen's heart area.According to the books about ancient
Elina was confused when Angel used his magic to disappear with her away from the party and both ended up, somewhere private. She wanted to ask why he brought her to such a place.Unfortunately, it was hard for her to read his mind. He carefully lay her on the bed and came up on her. Elina adjusted comfortably when the man lowered down to her. His knee tucked between her legs as he leaned down to her face.“Little girl,” he whispered while tracing his index finger from her temples down her cheek, Elina sucked in her breath and closed her eyes a little. She could feel a tingling sensation as Angel continued what he was doing. Opening her eyes, Elina had so many questions to ask. One of them was why she felt something overpowering whenever he was close to her. His dark amber eyes were fixed on her. Elina swore she forgot to breathe.“Hmm,” he moaned as he lowered even more to her neck and rubbed his face against her neck, Elina fisted the sheets tightly and ignored his warmth. His hands
(Elina)Everything was going smoothly when he stopped, I wanted to ask what was happening when he climbed off me. He didn't look so good.“Is… Everything okay,” I asked while slowly pulling the sheets to cover myself. “Stay,” he muttered and immediately disappeared into thin air before I could ask more questions. Startled, I quickly wrapped the sheets around myself and crawled out of bed to wear something. “Did I do something wrong, damn it, Elina…what were you thinking,” I scolded myself while heading to the closet. It was late at night, I was in the alpha room. I guess I messed up big time. “Damn it, this isn't my room,” I was a fool to think this was my room. I opened the closet and realized it only contained Angel's clothes. “This will do,” I took out one of his shirts, although large, and wore it. It only reached mid-thigh high, but who cared? I made him angry, the party was probably going on, but I didn't think I'd go down there.“I'm such a fool, why did I do that,” it was f
(Elina)He insisted on seeing my wound, despite knowing how intimate it was for me to show my skin in public. Everyone was waiting to see exactly if there was a wound on my shoulder. The man said I injured myself while trying to escape.“Strip!” Angel ordered coldly, I flinched at his stern voice. It was around my shoulder. I felt tears lingering in my eyes as I prepared to do as he wanted.“She did it,”“The bruise is as the guard explained it,” I heard murmurs rising in the room. Slowly opening my eyes. I tilted my head to see. And they were right, there was a deep cut on my right shoulder…no wonder I was feeling so much pain. Glancing up, my gaze met with the alpha's sharp eyes. His expression was blank and fixed on me.“Angel, whatever it is…we still don't have enough proof she did it…stop this now…,” queen Melissa rose to her feet and rushed to where I was. “But how come she's hurt…isn't it evidence enough?”“I'm sure she did it…” the men in the room shouted all sorts of bad th
“D-drop that now…” Mia stammered as she struggled to stand, Elina could see how much she was failing to breathe. Her eyes were turning blood-red from the agonizing pain she was going through, “You framed me right…admit now,” Elina yelled and made sure she trapped Mia without leaving any room for her to escape. Of course, "W-where the fuck did you get that,” Mia screamed out as her head lifted to look at Elina. She was holding a sacred pendant glowing a deep blue color. Elina smirked and walked closer to Mia, and she was sent flying and landed heavily on the ground.“You mean this, well, I took it from the King's collection…do you know it has lobelia flower extract in it?” Elina exclaimed the question as she showed the pendant to Mia, making her cough out blood. Veins from her arms started popping out and Elina could see deep dark red blood flowing through. Groans escaped Mia's bloody lips as she fisted the grass tightly. “Poor you, stop resisting because the more you do…the more yo
(Elina)The last time Angel fought with that rogue wolf, he barely survived. He was badly hurt and to hear he played such a game to lure his enemy out of the hole. Made me question his intelligence “Couldn't you have stopped him…do you know how much he got hurt last time,” I lashed out at Mia while we climbed some hill to get to where Mia said the man was tracked down? “He's the alpha… so what if he lost one battle…he's still powerful, that beast is nothing to him” Mia countered back as we both jumped down from a hill and landed on the other side of the forest.“Damn it,” I dusted myself and glanced around. The sky was getting dark, I could hear thunderstorms. “Great, it seems whenever they fight it rains…,” I said, rolling my eyes in annoyance. Even last time, it was raining heavily.“He must have tracked the flower somewhere here…stay and let me help out,” Mia said as she started walking down the path which was covered in tall grass and some rotten tree trunks. The place seemed so
Angel had thought the girl would be a big distraction from what he was doing. Unfortunately, she was helpful. She was young and had zero knowledge about the beast he was fighting. But she was able to block every attack the beast threw at him.Elina saw the minute she and the alpha got careless. The beast struck. To save her, the king had to endure the pain of having one of those horns buried deep in his flesh.“Are you okay?” Elina asked when she managed to stand and left his arms. Angel nodded, although Elina didn't think so.“How, on earth, is that thing still standing,” Elina said in disbelief. The alpha had given it all. Hit it where it hurt the most, and it had been down several times.Unfortunately, the best still had enough strength left in it. To make matter worse, Elina was irritated by the rain.“Stay here, it's hidden…don't come out until”“It has something glowing on its throat, why don't you strike there… I'm certain that's its weakness,” Elina cut the alpha off before he
“Mom, please, do something…he's hurt badly,” Elina was in tears as soon as she managed to get some help. She was all alone and the only thing left to do was take the alpha somewhere close and that was her world. It was cold.“Elina calm down…he'll be fine…the snow will cool him off,” Elina's mom said and dragged her daughter out of the secret healing room. “But, he's hurt…let me stay with him please,” Elina pleaded as tears streamed down her face. It was enough, she couldn't handle leaving Angel by himself. But her mom dragged her away, so she could attend to her injuries. Elina didn't mind the little pain she felt, but the well-being of Angel was important, and if he got hurt. She wouldn't be able to take it.“Here, now sit down,” her mom ordered as she shoved her down the bed and rushed to get first aid and some warm clothes. Elina did not notice how her teeth were chattering due to the cold until she sat down. “Careful, how can you be so careless Elina…” her mom reprimanded her
Elina)“Elina, what are the stakes for,” Hazel whispered, trying certainly to lower her voice. I was busy stuffing more stakes in my backpack to mind her.“Vampires, you are in the vampire's territory…what do you think,” I said sarcastically and finished packing, I straightened up and looked at Hazel. She was sweating out of fear, but Violet was cool about it.“I…but, I can't kill” Hazel stammered, nearly shouting when Violet placed her hand on her mouth.“Keep your mouth shut,” Violet muttered through gritted teeth. I was wrong, Hazel was a cat.“Come this way and be careful not to draw attention,” I said and made my way down the dark passageway. We entered through a secret entrance, how I found it I didn't know. Even Violet was surprised how I knew there was a secret entrance. But we walked down the dark passageway until we came to an open space.“How can it be so creepy, I feel bugs crawling on my skin,” Hazel whispered and faked a shiver, indeed the place was horrible? How come th
Elina)“Are you certain…it's all the same?” I asked while checking the so-called different spices, I always wondered why Angel was so interested in restaurants. He wasn't needed, the last time I came here. They told me he was in the kitchen preparing for the food critic.“It's different, see the color… it might look the same but the taste and color are quite different,” the head chef said politely. I had to say she was a nice lady, I took a little between my fingers and rubbed it between my fingers before tasting it. It was sweet and tasted very delightful.“Wow, can we make sauce from this…it's perfect,” I tasted more, it was delightful? The lady saw what I was doing and chuckled“Yes, it can, in mustard, and it will taste even more delicious,” the lady said and showed me more ingredients to mix. I was pleased to learn a few cooking tips. I wanted to take interest in whatever the king did.I came to the restaurant to see him. However, I was told he had a few guests, and they were hav
(Elina)I left granny's room to find my earring, however, other than that, I found Florence outside the room. The state I found her in was quite frightening."Did you burn yourself," I asked and reached for her hand when she withdrew it from sight? She was sweating so much as if she was going through pain."Elina, why don't you go back inside…" Florence said, sounding irritated and was about to walk away when I held her back. I wanted to see her hand. The burn didn't look ordinary."Let me see it, who hurt you.. did you burn yourself in the kitchen?" I asked while attempting to get hold of her arm. It was impossible when the lady kept shoving me away. She seemed furious which I failed to understand."That's enough Elina…stop meddling in my affairs!" She made a low yell and pushed me away before I could see and hurried down the passageway. I didn't want to follow her despite how curious I was. I watched her retreating form until she disappeared down the hallway.I didn't waste time but
Elina woke to the morning sunshine and the cool breeze caressing her exposed legs. She stretched a little, enjoying the sensual feel of the sheets against her naked body. A low yawn left her parted lips as she rubbed her eyes a little. She patted the bed and found the side cold. She was aching everywhere. Her messy hair slightly fell over her face, but she brushed it aside.She opened her eyes instantly only to look around and stopped when she saw Angel. He was sitting in a chair near the window, reading a book and wearing just his shorts. The bright sunlight shone on his body, making him glow beautifully.It was a beautiful sight to see, with his slightly long hair and his eyes fixed on the book. He looked bewitching.Elina prompted on one elbow, the sheets falling away exposing her breasts when suddenly. Angel turned to look and caught her about to lower down and get the sheets.“Good morning,” he greeted her in a low tone.“G-good morning,” she replied to his greeting a little awkw
(Elina)It was an exhausting day, I came back and went straight to my room…we were back in the werewolf world.“My lady, do you need anything?” The servant girl said once I walked into the room. I only shook my head and stripped off the coat.“Leave” I waved her off and proceeded to the closet to get something to wear after a hot shower.“What?” I opened the closet and I didn't find any of my clothes, I glanced back and found the girl still rooted in one place, “did anyone remove my clothes or something?” I asked her, she flinched and lowered her head even more, as if she feared me.“M-my lady the queen gave instructions to…to take the clothes to the King's room,” the girl stammered nervously, hearing the king, I didn't know what to do. The servant girl left, and I decided to get my clothes from the King's room. Why would the queen do that? I was aware of just how much that king hated me.I left my room and went straight to the alpha's room. How on earth was I to sleep in his room whe
Elina was angry, after hearing the king and queen Melissa discussing. Hearing him say he would reject her, scared Elina. "It's terrible, how can he do that…" Hazel was furious and she joined in ad began pacing, Elina stopped and shifted her gaze to Violet sitting in the bed surrounded by books about werewolves. "Well, it's legal alright…here it says the werewolf male is allowed to reject his mate if he doesn't like her," Violet read through one of those books. Hazel and I scooped closer to her so we could hear what the books said about an alpha rejecting his mate. "What sort of ridiculous thing is that," Hazel lashed out and snatched the book from Violet. By now my palms were itching and scratching them felt painful. My mind was in reels. "He has to declare it publicly, in front of the entire werewolf clan," Violet added and showed me another book. How do things come to this, in the past I would have danced the entire night hearing this. But for some reason, I felt cold all over. My h
“Mom, she's just an attention seeker,” Gracey whispered with disdain as they watched Elina getting attended to by the doctor. Even queen Melissa was agitated, the entire house was worried and worked up over what happened to Elina. “Shh, don't say that,” Her mom shut her up, even if they had anything bad to say about Elina. It was best to keep it to themselves or say it in private. But she was also not happy seeing how Elina was getting pampered. It was like getting betrothed to the alpha wasn't as bad as she anticipated. Gracey couldn't stand a minute watching Elina; hence she stormed out of the room. She was just happy the werewolf alpha didn't feel bothered about Elina's charade. “Is everything okay, how did she just faint,” Elina's mom asked anxiously. Her daughter was unwell. “Tell us, and we'll do anything to make sure she's alright,” the queen added as well, Elina's life was precious, especially to Angel. If ever she fell ill or if anything happened to her. Angel had to suffer,
Elina woke up at the touch of Angel's hand on her hip. The cool light from a full moon streamed through the window, casting deep shadows throughout the room. She felt his lips on her shoulder, softly exploring. She could feel the heat of his body against her bare back. The hardness of his smooth chest brushing against her back making her curl even more to him. She lay there for a moment, luxuriating in the memory of his earlier passion. Finally, she rolled over to face him. Never in her life did she think she would experience such a level of intimacy. She now understood why lovemaking was so sacred, so different and intimate. She was about to explore and feel things she had never felt before, Elina's arm went around Angel's neck as he moved a little, so he could give her more space. His hands were on her back and her bottom. “Are you afraid now?” Angel asked as he pressed his hand on her back, Elina's lips parted to say something, but she couldn't form words to say to him. Even in the
(Elina)It was truly an alluring sight that I would always remember. His intense azure eyes met mine when he finished torturing me with his kisses and fingers. Goosebumps came rushing in like raindrops unnecessarily with no purpose. I couldn't look away; it was as if I was trapped by those striking amber eyes. "You shouldn't be afraid of me," he whispered while nuzzling his nose against the nape of her neck. I didn't want to lie. But he frightened me, especially when I recalled the first time. How he always had me without permission, without me agreeing to his advances because all he was all about was satisfying his inner monster. He bit down her flesh, leaving red marks all over her that she would forever be reminded of who owned her, body and soul. "Tell me, little one… do you like your alpha?" he asked and ran his hand down her belly and I sucked in my breath. That feeling, I wanted, I could feel my body becoming surprisingly hot, too hot. My fingers were itching for something, som
