“And what is this?” Jasmine asked sarcastically, she was in a bad mood and having her little sister bother her was not something she wanted.“It looks like a medallion… or some pedant…the point is I saw this around Elina's neck,” Gracey said, showing a chain dangling between her thumb and forefinger. Jasmine wasn't interested in anything that had to do with Elina. “I don't need a useless thing okay… all I want is to talk to my mom,” Jasmine averted her eyes, she had never felt so useless as she was feeling. Elina was turning out to be a big deal around the werewolves. Earlier, she had gone to the kitchen and asked some servants to serve her. Unfortunately, she was asked to do things herself. Even Florence said everything was out of her hands.“You don't understand sis, this is the alpha's necklace,”, Gracey said ignoring her sister. Only at the mention of the alpha did Jasmine turn around, nearly falling from the sofa and snatched the chain from Gracey.“Really, how did you get it… I
(Elina)We arrived at the same creepy mansion as before. This time I was stunned to find it a lot more lively, the interior had been swept and spotless. Well decorated and scented with nice-smelling fragrances. I walked around the living room and was impressed. The various servants moving around and doing work amazed me.“Madam Lucy, why did you follow me? I mean I can take care of myself,” I asked when the old lady came to the living room and placed a vase on the glass table.“We must make sure you are properly taken care of…” the lady said with a smile, I was interested in knowing more about her. She was polite and calm, something about she reminded me of my mom.“If you care about me…then tell me what the alpha is like,” I said, leaning against the chair. The alpha just dropped me off and disappeared. I wondered where he went. Even Oliver was nowhere to be seen. The mansion was big and lonely, although with servants who minded their own business, “My dear. He's a busy man… He bare
Elina heaved a silent relief when finally the alpha let her out of the barrier. She had watched what had gone down and knew the alpha was not someone to mess with. The person who sent his wolves to attack Angel knew exactly what he was up against. Standing tall unscathed was Angel, his sharp claws buried deep in the hand's chest that Elina feared he would rip his heart out with his bare hands. The man was lean and well-built. Unfortunately, not even his muscles could save him from the vicious king. His friends suffered some worse than death. “Go on…hahaha kill me, just know this…you'll fall and we will rise as the rulers!” The man said with mocking laughter when he turned back into a human after a vicious attack from the king, which left him coughing out blood as he fisted the grass and crawled to his feet. His entire face was covered in red liquid dripping down his body. “Ripping your little heart out is nothing, how dare you invade my territory" “The one who sent you signed your de
“Who did it?” Oliver panicked when the two girls called him inside. Elina was lying unconscious. Both Hazel and Violet were panicking. Afraid of what just happened to her.“We…we didn't do anything okay…she just fainted,” Hazel stammered as she paced back and tried to call for a doctor. Elina was getting pale by the minute. Nothing was working.“I'm sure there's a way… she's too cold,” Violet muttered as she felt Elina's forehead with the back of her hand. Her skin was as cold as ice. Her pulse was faint. Violet was worried about Elina… something was wrong with her.“I already called someone…you two should pray nothing happens to her,” Oliver said disdainfully only to get eyed by Violet“You know…why don't you call him here…call that monster of an alpha,” Violet remarked bitterly as she rose from the bed. Her sharp eyes were fixed on Oliver, giving her a sour look.“Umm, Violet…we just escaped prison, remember?” Hazel muttered, reminding Violet of what she was saying about the werewol
(Elina)“Please have this?”“Am I sick… how long have I been sleeping…where are Hazel and Violet?” I asked while scanning the room I woke up in. Reaching for my head, why was it heavy? Madam Lucy was giving me some pills with a glass of water.“You fainted, the doctor said you should take some meds to make you feel better,” the lady said with a smile, glancing at her hand. I didn't know what to say. How come I had no collection of what happened, or what caused me to pass out? Massaging my head, I nodded and took the two white pills from her and quickly popped them in my mouth and gulped down the water to wash them down.“That's good… I made breakfast, but I'm not sure what you will love” the lady remarked with a small frown plastered on her face. For a while, I was staring at her. She seemed to be hiding something from me.“Umm, anything will do,” I said, and I was about to crawl out of bed when she stopped me.“The king said you should rest… ““I'm fine, I'm not sick that I'm certain
“Let me help you ma'am, are you okay?,” Elina said and helped the old lady pack the fruits and vegetables which fell from her basket in the middle of the road. “Dear, I'll be fine…it's nothing,” the woman said while gathering her squashed tomatoes, Elina felt sorry for her. She was old and could barely stand on her own. Even so, she was energetic. A beautiful round face with a few freckles on her cheeks. Her bright brown eyes shone with loneliness, and her smile was as beautiful as hers. Despite her gray hair, Elina found the lady's appearance quite appealing“Here, I'll help you,” Elina said and packed most of the fruit. She didn't know there existed people who were so cruel, the road was busy, and she was crossing the road when some insane driver nearly ran her over.“Young lady, it's not necessary… I can manage,” the lady said, shaking her head and holding the basket in her arms“Come I'll drop you off, don't worry… I'm not bad,” Elina coaxed with a smile, the lady was helpless. T
The Perkins mansion was lit aglow with bright lights since the day was slowly turning to darkness. Elina's mom walked into the room her eldest daughter was in, accompanied by Violet. The two shut the door and proceeded in. Like every time, Leah was awake and resting her back against the headboard. Elina's mom sat on the bed beside her while Violet stood to the side, She brought some warm soup for her. If Elina wasn't gone. She'd be the one attending to her elder sister."Her condition is getting much worse… Aunt is there another way… I'm afraid she isn't going to last,” Violet said, seeing how thin Leah had become. Even her eyes, which used to be bright and big had seemed tired. Elina's mom knew what was happening. Eventually, her daughter was going to be no more. The pain of losing both hurt her more than anything, “She'll be fine,” Elina's mom muttered while coaxing her daughter to eat something. The sadness in her eyes was like a sharp knife piercing her heart. “Elina is trying a
(Elina)I screamed. My whole body was falling in complete darkness. I could feel the strong wind pushing me down. I had my eyes open for a while, but closed them, feeling no use in having them open since I couldn’t see anything.The fangs of the wind ripped at my skin as I found myself falling down the building, overpowered by gravity. My cracking voice could barely be heard at every attempt to scream for help. The heavy rains accompanied by lightning and thunder continued in their frightening horror. Slapping against my skin like a thousand ants eating away my flesh.I knew I was dead. I saw life flash before my eyes as I braced myself for the worst to come. The stinging sensation on my back intensified so much that I felt a sharp pain piercing through my flesh. Looking down as I braced myself for death. I saw flashing lights, more like fire. Growling howls erupted in the air, so frightening and malicious that I swore some beasts were fighting down below. Closing my eyes, I braced my
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
