(Elina)I knew it was getting dark, I probably had to go back before the queen noticed my absence, however, I had to find the sacred plant. I had little time left. It was dark, and the best place to find the midnight plant was in the forest. The book Violet showed me said the plant was found in the forest on the hillside. It bloomed at midnight, which was why it was called a moon midnight flower.If plucked correctly, it could cure anything, legend said even curses could be removed. However, I didn't think a flower could lift a curse. The light faded as I entered the forest, turning into a strange dark and quiet place, the sounds had all but vanished. The smell of animals or beasts hung in the still air, no flowers seemed to help the uneasy odor. In the dim light, I saw shadows dart about, I barely heard the sound of things moving, it gave a creepy feeling of being watched.The sky seemed to be darker than usual. The tree blowing and slapping against each other, thunder roared follow
Elina's mind was in chaos, something was happening to her. She couldn't understand exactly what was happening to her,She was overpowered and unable to escape. The last twice he did this, she was frightened. This time she was carried back to the castle. Lay on the mattressHer clothes had been stripped off, he was on top of her. Taking his time, for one thing. She never understood how she always ended up trapped by the creature. His cold hands ran up her belly, down her abdomen then stopped at her sex. She wiggled in his hold, but he kept her trapped. The groans sound coming from him gave her chillsHe leaned down and kissed her on the belly, his hands gripped her hips. Elina's hands fisted the sheets tightly, his sharp teeth dug in her flesh, and she felt him suck on her. Her blood oozed out as he drank from her, “No,” Elina shook her head. Afraid of screaming and him killing her. It seemed he only had two missions, to drink her blood and have s*x. She was afraid, even more, afraid
Anything? The ugly king just asked me to tell him what I wanted. He was such a fool, I wondered why he wore a mask, making everyone think he was ugly. I was lost admiring him, his silver eyes glowed when the ray of sunshine reflected on his face.For goodness' sake, what was I doing? This man took advantage of me. To know I've seen him before made me feel a little proud. Forget pride, If I were to ask, then I would ask for his head. Such a shameless king, his head would be good for me. I was certain asking for his head would do me good. No, Elina, that was a bad idea. I had better things to ask for. He said anything, could I ask for the midnight flower? Yes, that was what I wanted.I was about to tell him when he disappeared from my sight, startled. I quickly sat up, stunned at how he was able to do that. A second ago, he was on top of me. But I only felt a gust of wind when, suddenly, he was standing in front of me. This time he was wearing a black robe reaching just below his knee
“I don't get it?” Elina muttered not sure why Miguel stormed into the kitchen disrupting her breakfast “You are needed my lady…” he said respectively, Elina didn't understand. Why did the king request her? She had a full plate of food to finish. She was drained and wanted to eat more. Miguel saw through her. It was normal that she would crave more food and water. Spending a night with the alpha wasn't easy. She was the first female who survived “But why, it's the alpha's business… why should I get involved,” Elina muttered with a frown. “Elina it's important…please let's not keep the king waiting,” Miguel said gesturing for her to follow him, glancing at the food she was leaving. Elina let out a sigh and nodded. “Fine,” she said and Miguel led the way, who knew why she was summoned? The king already had his way with her. Such a cruel man he was. As they walked down the passageway leading to the throne room. Elina was thinking about asking for the flower. She had tried to find the
Elina was frightened of the King's approach, there was something dark about him. His touch was icy. His gaze was somehow devilish. After an encounter with him. She would rather not see him again. His words were creepy. He kept muttering something about the misery of being at a female's mercy.Strange as he was, Elina shook her head and walked out of the throne room when she came to a sudden halt. Jasmine was standing in front of her, looking like a raging bull.“You are so shameless Elina… have you forgotten… you are a nobody here… not the king's bride or anything but a mere maid, “Jasmine lashed out, nearly grabbing Elina by the hair when she pushed her away. Elina was surprised at Jasmine's aggression. The anger in her eyes. “Don't you dare touch me,” Elina lashed out too, if Jasmine could get angry, so could she and touching any part of her made Elina angry that she couldn't control it? Jasmine didn't care but grabbed Elina by the arm and pushed her against the wall.“You ran awa
(Elina)When Elina woke up, she found herself in her room. She didn't remember ever coming to her room. Reaching for her head, she had a splitting headache, she had never felt so drained before. Her body was in agony, even moving her leg felt like she had been run over by a train.Glancing around, she didn't see anything unusual. It was morning, and the sun never set in the werewolf world. She wondered why. The werewolf world was blissful but seemed dead, so lifeless. Elina shook her head and dragged herself out of bed. Setting her feet down, she pushed herself up, nearly falling when he balanced on her feet. Scanning herself, she was wearing a different dress“Just great, now I don't remember what happened,” her mind was blank, she only recalled leaving the throne room. Did something happen after that? Elina shrugged and went to the bathroom for a cold shower. Maybe she would ask around and hear what they had to sayWhen Elina entered the bathroom, she stripped off her clothes. Stoo
(Elina)It turned out I had to be with Angel everywhere he went, especially in crowded places. It was irritating following him around as he talked to his partners. I was informed that the alpha worked in the human world.He was attending a business party. I was given a beautiful simple short light pink spaghetti strap tiered tulle gown. With some matching sandals and pinned my hair in a nest bun, I let some strands fall to the sides of my face. Put on some nude makeup to go.The room was filled with smiling men in suits and women in elegant dresses. Their postures were refined and classy, the music was light and soft. The tables were set, and I listened as Angel and two of his human friends were discussing business issues. All I understood was expenses and transactions, deals and profits. I had to say, the alpha knew how to trap people with his words. It was hard for anyone to deny him. What amused me the most was how the surrounding men listened to his views and agreed.“So, you are
Meanwhile, in a dark room with the only source of light coming from the small window above, four shirtless men surrounded the single bed as they stared at their latest catch, their eyes shown even in the dark. Their tongues wagged to have a taste of her. She was not unconscious, but kicking and tossing. Mumbling something in her sleep. She was a beauty to beholdEven her voice was pleasant to the ears. Getting her intoxicated was easy and whisking her away from the party was even easier.“How fucking sweet is she, damn I want to have her first,” male voices said in hushed tones as they circled the delicate creature they lay on the mattress. Their sharp eyes darted around, debating amongst themselves.“She's delicious…we'll take turns,” another one said in a raspy voice, as he walked closer to the girl. She had clear, flawless porcelain skin. The golden locks scattered around her face. She was an angel to be behold.“F**k this… I'll go first…” one of them said as he climbed onto the be
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
