Anita's pov. Causing nuisance? Me? "Why don't you think properly before you talk? How would you just come to a conclusion that I am here causing trouble?" I barked at him.He looked at me, made a little scoff, lowering his head, "You should better have something to do than come here to make noise, disrupting people's peace."What the hell? This man is up to something right now. What did he just say? I am here also trying to find comfort in my distress and he is saying I came to make a lot of noise? "I do not understand where this conversation is leading to. You don't even know anything about me yet you talk like someone who had known me for a very long time. Mind you, if you think I came to disturb you or whoever, take your fucking bags and leave. Find somewhere else. After all, this is not the only forest available in the world, so… " I wasn't able to finish my statement when the bread I was eating mistakenly passed through another pathway in my throat. I started choking. Coughin
Darius povLeaving my little hut in the forest, I started my normal training in front of my house. My sword slashing through the air, cutting through the ties, hitting different angles and corners.Just then, strange noises from someone in the garden started blaring out, making me uncomfortable. But I didn't mind that, I continued fighting through the air. Aiming to get a particular spot before unlocking my full potential. Waving my sword through different directions, I dropped them off, now moving on with my hands. I started throwing blows in the air. Many blows, different ones. Instructions from my past master, Master Chen was: "Always start slow and steady, looking at the side and tactics of your opponent. Where his next punch is heading to. Make sure you are able to avoid him beating you, I know he would at a time, but try not to allow him to do much, even if you aren't punching him at first, allow him till the fight intensifies before you strike. All your blows should be light
Darius povI quickly entered the water to grab her before she drowns and when she was finally up, she opened her eyes which were already red because of the water influx in it. I carried her in my arms out of the river to the shore and placed her on the marbles. She was breathing fast, very fast. "Anita, are you ok?" I questioned her. She didn't respond to me. Her face was still stoic and expressionless. Maybe she wasn't happy about what happened. "Anita, Anita…" I called her again and she shifted her gaze to me. Her face fierce, giving me a dangerous look."You wanted to use this method to kill me right?" She questioned, shifting her gaze from mine. How? Why was she talking this way? I only wanted her to learn how to swim all by herself without being afraid. I wanted her to take a bold step herself and learn the simple tricks on how to do it. "No Anita. I do not. I wanted you to learn how to do it all by yourself, " I said looking at her face, then she turned to me and I slightl
Anita's povEven as Darius suggested that he wanted me to swim alongside him, I refuted immediately. I have already done things on my own before so why would I need someone to teach me how to do things? Besides, I do not trust him all that much. He might be someone that has been sent to kill me and he is trying to do it in the most entertaining and sweet way ever. There are a lot of reasons spinning in my head on why I shouldn't allow him teach me, so that's why I objected. With the ones he had shown to me, I am more than content with them, I can do this. As I reached the river, I dived into it at once. He was thinking I would come to meet him but I did the opposite at a very close distance to him. I didn't know the water would fail me. I thought people always said that the water was friendly, like always friendly. But it did the opposite to me. Just like a payback for what I did to Darius a few minutes ago. I nearly drowned inside the water as I lost balance but after a few seco
Darius's povI thought I had lost her as she got deep into the water. My mind started racing and my eyes remained widened.I quickly ran to stop her, diving into the stream at once. She had already gone far and my eyes weren't able to capture the exact position she had swam to.I swam with a fast speed trying to reach her when I heard a splash at the top of the water and I swam out, only to see the most beautiful girl cleaning her eyes happily. "Where have you been?" I questioned her and she smiled. She didn't know how I felt when I lost track of her. She didn't know how my heart clenched with pain and agony when I thought she was gone.For once, I thought I wouldn't be able to fall in love because I was not always available in the crowd but the moon goddess made it so that I could one day see an angel like this and fall in love with her at first sight. I was startled and angry with her at the same time. She really made my mind skip and with that, I raced towards her, hugging her at
Darius's povI opened my eyes just to see what I have never seen in my entire life, a lion was right in front of me. I paused and fell to the ground, behaving like someone who had died and the animal used his hand to scratch my body. For sure, he would be perceiving blood and want me for his next meal. Immediately, I called on my wolf, Ruffus. "Take over me now!" I said to him and without wasting time, he took over me. I jolted up on four legs, facing the lion with a spiteful glance while going back, creating space for him to launch an attack. The lion followed Ruffus as he was moving backwards. Ruffus started gritting his teeth and when they had gotten to a clearer space, Ruffus turned around, making the lion confused and climbed on the body of the lion, biting him hard. The lions started struggling with Ruffus on his back, trying to fling him off but Ruffus maintained his grip on him, biting every corner of his body. Ruffus is a very smart and intelligent wolf who wanted to do
Anita's povI walked out of the forest angrily with the trash Darius just said. Why would he say that kind of thing to me? Someone I just met a few hours ago, now wanting to make sexual advances at me? What the fuck! I don't know how these kinds of men behave at times. You just met someone and you expect the person to start liking your big rod? Is that what he thinks of me? Do I look at him like I am a whore or sort of? Does my dressing portray that? Like I am confused. I am wearing an old sky blue gown which a normal maiden wears, so how come he thinks of me as such? I am disgusted as fuck by this act and I do not think he would ever see me close to him again, before he does something bad to me without my consent. I came out of the bush and started walking to the palace gate and as I reached there, someone pulled me from the back. "Anita," She shouted, drawing me closer. I turned to her, "Oh, it's you! " I said smiling. It was the beautiful slave girl that came to me that da
Anita's povI and Isla heaved a relaxing sigh as madam betty and the man left us. I looked at Isla and drew her hand closer to mine, "My dear, please, I do not want you to get into trouble because of me. Please, can you go back into the pack? While I find my way to Alpha Orion's chambers? " I said to her with pleading eyes. She nodded, returning a pitiful look at me, "Aniee, please take care of yourself. I know you are a good person and maybe, it's because of jealousy that's why Madam Betty is treating you this way, but please be strong okay?"I nodded and we hugged ourselves. After that she left to the slave quarters while I searched around, hiding from everyone and cornering into Alpha Orion's chambers. I don't even know what to say to Alpha Orion if I get to his room. I do not at all. Maybe I will say I lost my way and I am cold and beg if he can allow me to spend the night. Or should I seduce him? Nah. Nah. I am bad at seducing. I can't do that. He might laugh at me in the pr
