Ryan's pov:I quickly bashed inside my room with the idea that she would still be there standing in the same spot waiting for me but hell no! There was no trace of her in there. She is gone……… She doesn't have any smell so there was no way to detect where she could be or how long she had left. I sighed deeply before plopping on my bed. My eyes moved to the mess she caused, the pail of water and the soaked mob on the floor. The messy food littered every single spot on the desk. I smiled and looked away.I stared at the spot where I met her immediately after I entered, I could remember vividly that she had food in her hands and mouth. I laughed at how embarrassed and shy she seemed to be. She looked cute when she felt embarrassed, but my face hardened as I recalled how afraid she looked. It was as if she was scared and afraid of me, her scared behavior breaks me. I don't want her to be afraid of me, I don't bite, or is it because I am the king? /Fuck the KING/ I cursed under
Walking through the staircases with a bag of fruits that Margaret has requested her to bring into the kitchen, this is the fruits that will be given to the guests today. Despite how heavy those fruits were, Juliana kept pulling through. With faint breath, she was dragging the fruits with her to the kitchen. The erratic beating of her heart clouded her ears and senses, which made her fail to notice that Aria was calling her or even around her.She jerked up with a nervous look as she felt someone tap her shoulder twice. "You!..... You scared me," Juliana voiced with a throbbing heart."Sorry I couldn't have touched you but…."But," Juliana's eyes caressed in confusion."I have called you for hours now without any response from your side," Aria uttered."You have called me?" Juliana said with doubt. "If you called, I should have heard you," "I called several times," Aria maintained."Fine, let me assume that you truly called, so why are you calling me?" She asked blankly."Come on, Ash
Juliana's pov: Holding me steady, I ensured to keep up with Aria's pace which was very difficult at first till I heard the commotion in the kitchen. The angry scream of Margaret, the hot words she was throwing at my name. "Where is that fool? The meeting has started and I need to take those fruits to the conference room!!" As the word hits me, I halt instantly. Aria spared me a quick gaze with pitiful eyes, I swallowed nervously before looking elsewhere. My palms felt clumsy, sweat had already formed in them. The atmosphere seemed gauche, how do I tell her that the fruits got damaged in the staircase on my way to the kitchen? Will she ever listen? I sighed before looking away with a troubled look."You know that we can run away if you are not comfortable entering inside there," She points at the kitchen. Following her direction of the hand, I glanced at the kitchen door. Fear crept inside me, I shook my head and tore my eyes away from it. "Run to where exactly?" I could still hear
Ryan's pov:The erratic of my heart makes it so hard for me to concentrate on the meeting that was going on. Tapping my head on the edge of the table with my other hand below my jaw, I pondered on the reason behind my unusual restlessness. The fast rate at which my heart beats had me concerned. Ethan hasn't spoken to me since the incident and I know that he is still angry with me. I couldn't do anything, the deed has been done already. I felt a fire ignite in me, I feel fucking restless and at the same time worried. It was as if my heart was calling me somewhere else, my heart and body yarns to be near Ashley. I could feel her pain which confuses me because she doesn't recognize the bond. I could feel her heartbroken tears, I knew that I am the reason and that hurt the shit out of me.She doesn't have a wolf so how was she able to feel any pain? This is strange, she always ends up confusing me…….. I swallowed hard with difficulty. I know that she isn't okay but I still don't know ho
Juliana's pov:I fiddled with my clothes, I couldn't dare you to look up or to even lift my head. I can feel Ryan and everyone's eyes on me, I haven't been this embarrassed before in my entire life despite how dreadful and creepy it has been. I haven't felt this way before. "What's going on here?" His cold voice snapped me out of my reverie state. "She had something to say," The lady that I walked in with, sneered devilishly. Every attention was fixed on me, I shifted uncomfortably. I refused to meet their gaze, gosh! How am I to tell them about that? This is a group of Alphas from different packs that we are talking about here. This is an act of disrespect to the king for us to bash in here in the middle of a serious meeting just because of silly stuff but based on how wicked and cruel the lady was. She didn't see it as a senseless approach because of her quest to humiliate me. It seems like I have to be careful since it looks like everyone in this pack is cruel and brutal or is
I ran out of the conference room, with my hand half covering my mouth I ran with no destination on my mind. Tears were streaming down my face, the anger and pain that they caused me. I was furious at them but my frustration kept pouring down my face in the form of tears. The memories of what they did to me, and how they treated me kept replaying vividly in my mind. My anger fumes at each remembrance, they hated me. They wished for my death, sending me ousted from their pack as if my existence doesn't matter. He didn't care if anything happened to me in the woods, my best friend more like my sister stabbed me in the back. She took my position and planned for my death in my presence. Every day and day her laugh hunts me, it breaks me………… She made me have trust issues, I couldn't allow people into my life again because of the fear of the past repeating itself again. My eyes turned ice cold as I remember how she sat in the chair with a smirk discussing what I don't know, she took my pos
Smiling, I wiped out my tears. I can't continue to cry for those rascals. They hurt me so deeply, the cut is so severe that the wounds always reopen whenever I set my eyes on them. I sighed before I felt a presence behind me, the throbbing of my heart makes me know who is beside me. I tried to turn around but his manly hold held me in a place with my back facing him.Despite the heavy beating of my heart, his touch felt so good. His presence relaxes me a bit and makes me forget my reasons for crying a minute ago."Why did you run away?" His deep voice makes me weak down there, gosh! He sure had a tempting voice. Opening my mouth to reply to him, something strikes my mind instantly causing me to shut my mouth when struggling to free myself."Shhh….." He hushed before tightening his grip on me, he pulled me closer so that there was no more space between us. I could feel his breath against my neck. I so much wanted to know the reasons why he suddenly supported Bianca and why he always ca
Turning around I was met with the confused Aria, she stood there staring at me before her eyes almost popped out of their socket when Ryan turned around. She bewilderingly gaped at us with her mouth half open, glancing at our intimate position and the spot where Ryan's hand was. The unsettling gaze wasn't helping at all, I tore my eyes away from her before disentangling my hands from Ryan. A frown sat on his brow as he tried to settle what I just did, his face darkened. "Good day, my king…" Aria greeted quickly with trembling lips as her face caressed up in confusion."I have heard you," with an icy tone, he replied. Aria trembled beside, shivering like a raincoat fowl. "Since you are done, I think that you have to go….." Using his right hand, he gestured for her to leave before tangling our hands again.Aria followed the direction of our hands before her gaze settled on me. I gave her a forced smile when struggling indirectly to free my hand from his hold but the more I struggled th
