Solomon pretended not to notice her, and he is trying with all of his might to ignore her. But this young woman is catching his eyes. Every single second to every single minute she was all he could think of. Her graceful movement to her little chuckles of laughter was all his eyes ached for. Watching her carefully and observing her like a hawk. But why? Is it because she’s beautiful, or is there more to her? What’s this calling?“Mate,” said his inner wolf.“What?”“Mate!” shouted his inner wolf.“WHAT!” It can’t be! She’s nothing but a teenager, I am not going to take a young woman who’s not even ready to be a mom. Not only that she probably haven’t even had her period, so no! I am not going down that road, not until she’s ready.” “She’s fully mature, and ready.”“She is so beautiful. Those hair, those eyes, that looks of her…” Austin was gripping his fists tightly.“Yess, she’s gorgeous, isn’t she? She’s ready to be pluck.”“But she’s…”“She has her inner wolf.”“What!”“Yes, just l
“What?” asked Lily in confusion.Solomon looked down at her kneeling formation. “This is the second time he have seen us like this.”Lily didn’t understand what he was saying. What’s wrong with them like this? They are having a conversation. With a little meet and greet, that’s all there is to it. It’s not like they’re actually doing anything.Solomon jagged his right eyebrows at her.Lily frowned at his distinct look.He wonders if she is faking it or really not know what he is talking about. Wondering if she’s a virgin like him. He genuinely looked at her. Lily remained unmoved as she clutched onto his belt.He sighs softly, “What? Are you saying it’s okay for him to see us in this… intimate position?”Intimate? How? We’re nowhere near touching each other’s body. Where’s the contact. There’s no physical feel or touch anywhere. Unless-Unless. Lily gasped inwardly. Unless he’s saying- that he wants to. Does his inner wolf sense it? Does he feel it too? She looks intriguingly at him.
TWO AND A HALF YEARS LATERThe dragon’s roar split the mountain apart. The ground was shaking with unsteadiness.Lily’s lips was chap with dryness. She spat out some blood. Her strength was rapidly being depleted.“LILY!” shouted Solomon. His eyes blurred and he hazily saw Lily. She was standing in front of the mystical dragon.I have to end this. I have to help him bring peace to the world. Her eyes dawdled on Solomon. He was heavily injured. It’s all my fault that he’s like this. I have to make it up to him. My life for his. “Lily! Lily! Opened this shield right now!" commanded Agatha.Lily summoned her magic into a crystal ball. Her hands was visibly shaking.Shit! She’s nearing her limit. Solomon clumsily got up and shouted her name, “Lily!”Lily was happy to hear her name one last time. She gripped every magic in her body and formed it into the death blow. Blood started oozing out of her ears and nose.“Lily! Lily!” screamed Solomon. He limped over to her shield, he frantically
The next following day, Lily stood next to Agatha to receive Solomon and his fiancée. Her heart pounded at the sight of him. She was aching painfully and yet excited to see him. The sight of him took her breath away, but the pain of his unloyalty was dwelling on her. Sadness soon took the glimmer out of her eyes as she saw Solomon holding Sasha’s hand. She tilted her head down to not see the insightful scene.Agatha could sense the sadness in Lily’s expression.Solomon and Sasha both bowed down to greet the Alpha and Luna of the Black wolves.Austin and Agatha didn’t say anything, there was a moment of awkwardness. The great hall became silent as they stared intensively at their son and future daughter-in-law.Sasha was becoming nervous at their harsh gaze.A cricket was lullabying the quietness of the giant room.To break the silence, the angry mother spoke. In the coldest voice one ever heard, Agatha spoke, “So, it seems you have chosen your bride to be.”Everyone knew that Agatha wa
PRESENT- ONE YEAR LATER.Solomon was trotting his horse alongside a small village. There was a lot of commotion being heard from the small town. Chattering of people’s voices was heard and music was being played loudly. For the middle of nowhere it was awfully drawing a lot of attention. Curiosity got the best of him, and he led his horse to the forgotten countryside. “Yeh!” he commanded his horse. His steadfast stallion held his spot, Solomon was looking at the busy market. “Solomon!” called out Peter.Grump smacked his son on the head.“Ow!”Grump gave his son a warning stare.Peter gulped and corrected himself, “Crown Prince what are we doing here?”Solomon didn’t answer. He was busy looking at the people rushing back and forth from the crowded market.“Thank you,” said a soft voice. Following that tone came a small chuckle as the spinning pinwheel spins at the wind. Solomon’s ears perked at the sound of the voice. He looked straight ahead. There standing ten feet away from
Next following day Solomon went back to where he met Flora. He looked at her trail and followed it. The woman may have changed her scent, but the footing was still the same. He half grinned as this woman was trying to make him wary and leave her alone. Not a chance. Not until he could prove that Flora isn’t Lily. He wasn’t going to quit until he knew the truth. He quickly made haste to her home.Flora was on her front porch watering the hanging pot of flowers. Sensing someone approaching her home she looked to see who it was. Not a single surprise of hint was noted on her beautiful face.“Hello,” said Solomon.Flora reply back, “Greetings, sir.”Solomon nearly winced with irritation at the way she greeted him, but he held back his grimace. He asked, “May we talk?”Flora nodded her head. “Sure.”Solomon and Flora headed towards the back of the house where a huge waterfall fell endlessly. The water ran into a slowing river with a deep dark pool in the center of the pit for swimming. It w
Flora was being handed off to another man. This man lifted her into his arms. She could hear him chuckling with amusement. No. No! No! She flanges her legs in refusal of going with this man. As she struggles the man nearly dropped her. She felt her body nearly touching the ground, but she didn’t hit the hard ground, instead she was being lifted. High and above she felt like flying and onto the man’s broad shoulder she went. The man held her firmly without losing any grip.“Let go! Let go of me!” she shouted.She didn’t know what was going on. One minute she was in her house then everything went dark. A misty fragrant slide into her room and she was knocked out from the drug.THIRTY MINUTES AGOIt was dark. It was cold. Not a sound echoed the room. A thick black cloth folded over her eyes. She couldn’t see anything. Her hands were tied and bonded together.“Take her away,” said a man with a deep voice.Flora was scared now. She didn’t want to be kidnapped. She didn’t want to be taken a
BEDCHAMBER Solomon sat at the edge of the bed. He was nearly dressed. From his waist down he was fully clothed.Flora finally woke up and grabbed the comforter to cover her naked body. She was sore in places she didn’t think possible. She grabbed onto her stomach as he was too rough with her last night. It was a night filled with pain and pleasure. She swears she wouldn’t be able to walk with the punishment he gave her last night.Solomon’s back was against her. He seemed to be concentrating.She study him. He seems to be thinking. Deeply in his mind, he seems to be lost. She didn’t stir as she was afraid she might disrupt his train of thoughts.Solomon’s voice came without him looking at her, “Are you done?”She gripped harder onto the sheet.With her silence he turned his head slightly to look at her. “So, when does it end?”“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”Solomon flipped around so fast that she didn’t even get a chance to respond. His lips cracked upon his still face. Hi
“How could you be so reckless,” he said to her but at a distance.“Well, it wasn’t my fault, was it,” said Lily, fixing her dress.“You knew that sending out that signal could triggered the enemy to find you, yet you did it to have Peter find us.”“Yes. If I didn’t, then we wouldn’t be found, and…” she flipped her head to him. “We wouldn’t be able to stop the Mystical Dragon when we did.”Solomon lifted her off the ground and placed her on his lap. “Please, stop trying to make yourself vulnerable.”“I wasn’t.”“Yes, by putting yourself in danger, you are baited.”“But,” said Lily, wrapping her arms around his neck.“But what,” asked Solomon, daring to want to hear more.“I got you.”Solomon smiled at her remarks. He licked her lips and begged for more. He sucked on her tongue till they were a dripping mess.“Solomon,” puffed Lily.“Yes?” he said, breathlessly.“Seriously, we are running out of time, no more sex,” she panted against his lips, but wouldn’t let go of him either.“Humph! T
PRESENT Solomon grabbed Lily by the waist and tilted her chin to him. “If you ever do something that foolish again, I swear, I will-” Lily started crying. Of course she was sad for what she did, but she couldn’t live with the pain. Living life without him is more painful than living a life alone. Solomon saw that he have made her upset again and said, “I’m sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry.” Lily whimpered into his chest. Solomon patted her on the back to soothe her from crying. After Lily have calmed down he nibble on her lips and said, “I only said those things to you to get you away from me.” Kiss her here and there and continues woeing her. “I was only trying to save you.” Lily’s tears fell once again. Solomon deepened his kiss. “I swear I didn’t mean anything that I've said to you.” Those words just made it worse, not in a bad way, but in a good way. The kind of feeling where you are happy when you eat ice cream on a hot day. She was warming up rapidly as she knew
“The Mystical Dragon have appeared!” shouted Peter.Solomon knew that the creature was coming, but he didn’t expect it to come this fast.“Solomon, we have to stop it now!” cried Peter.Solomon summoned his magic, but he was still injured and couldn’t fully conjured his trap.Lily looked at the Mystical Dragon. It was dark and cold. Looking at it makes one’s soul sorrow beyond measures.“Don’t look at it!” shouted Solomon.Lily looked away. She wiped away her tears.“Whatever you do, don’t look it in the eyes. Nothing good will come of it.”Peter snapped himself from staring at the creature and said, “Solomon, seal it! Seal it now!”Solomon tried to complete the incantation, but he couldn’t. He was running out of energy. His wound was bleeding internally. “Solomon! What are you doing!”Sasha standing by said, “Stop shouting at him! He’s hurt.”Peter was shocked by the news. “Solomon… Solomon is that true?”Solomon look tiredly at his friend. “Yes.”Peter was inhaling small breaths of
“SHIT!” huffed Solomon. He was feeling the heating wave washing over him.“What? What is it?” asked Lily, with worry.“It’s- It’s kicking in.”“You mean the drug- The sexual need.”“Yes, what else,” questioned Solomon, trying to hold his sanity correctly.“Fuck!” swears Lily.“Damn! Damn it!” howl Solomon.“Oh, what do I do? What do I do?” asked Lily, circling him.“I’m running out of time.” Solomon spat out some blood.“Solomon! Oh, god!”“Fuck! Whoever did this wanted its victim to feel immediate urges as they are dying. This person didn’t want to waste any time. These dicks! Fucking while dying! What a disgusting joke!” he curses loudly.“Solomon, what- what do we do? What do I do?” she asked in low panic voice. This is the first time in her life where she didn’t know what to do. She was clueless as she didn’t know how to handle such a hot and intense situations.“What else?” expelled Solomon, breathlessly.“What?” Lily asked puzzlingly.“Sex,” he grunted. “We need to have sex.”Li
PRESENT“I was able to dodge the arrow,” said Solomon,“But I- I was- I was..." stuttered Lily. "Was, what?""I really was trying to save you.”He let an amusement of "Ah." Lily let out an unsatisfied gesture. “I mean it. I had no bad intentions whatsoever." “Right.""I mean how was I supposed to know that you were- you know- dodge it."Solomon tapped his head and said, "I got everything calculated in my head already. I knew where the directions of the arrow was going and where it was heading. I was going to miss it by a mile, until... well..."Lily pouted as he was directing her mistakes. Solomon grabbed her hand and slid it up his chest. “My calcuations was to make sure that it missed me and past right by you. So neither of us gets hit.""Oh, you can do that? Wow," said Lily, shockingly. "Ah-huh.""Well, I mean you're- the amazing and wonderful Solomon, so of course you can. It's a piece of cake to you I bet." Solomon leaned into her and said, “I timed it perfectly without any
FLASHBACKThe sun was rising quickly into mid-day.“Father, do you think we can catch that fawn?” asked Solomon.“Fawn? What for?” asked Austin.“I don’t know, to raise, I guess.”“Sure,” came Austin’s reply.Solomon was closing in on the fawn. "I almost got it father!" Just as soon as he was close enough, his senses went off. Something was coming fast at him. A fast flying arrow was coming towards them. “FATHER!” he shouted. He jumped into the air to dodge the arrow. Austin, seeing the arrow dodged it by a mere inch. He halted his horse from going any further and made a turn back to camp.Austin and Solomon rode quickly to base.“What is it?” asked Agatha, seeing their rush. “We got ambushed,” said Austin.“Ambushed,” frowned Agatha.“Yes. Now hurry, we must leave back to the fortress." Agatha nodded her head and hurried Lily along.“Grump!” summoned Austin.“Yes, my king,” said Grump, flashing in front of Austin.“Sound the alarm.”Grump, shocked by his alpha's command said, “My
FLASHBACK- 1 YEAR AND 6 MONTHS AGO (PLEASE REFER BACK TO END OF EPILOGUE SHORT STORY 8) From beyond that measure stood a handsome man. He was peeking at her. Solomon was staring down at his mate, Lily. Peeking at the woman who haunts his visions day and night. His hand pushed down a few branches to get a better view of her. Wow. She’s gotten more beautiful. But he wasn’t sure how that’s possible for she’s always been beautiful. From head to toe she’s a always gorgeous looking. Not one ounce could falter her fair look. In every single aspects no one comes close to her. She's that beautiful. The wind brushed by and Lily’s hair drifted around, making her look like an angel. Solomon lost his breath and forgotten to breathe for a moment. Damn! She’s stealing my breath every single time I see her. “Solomon!” shrill Peter.“Shh!” hushed Solomon.“What? What is it?” asked Peter, he was angling himself down. He was trying to be stealth as to not be noticed. He looked around to see where the
