“Please…stop.”Tears were streaming down my face as I shakily held my ground in front of him, despite the fear and uncertainty coursing through me. Lowell didn't stop his movements, but he seemed to sense how uncomfortable I was and he abruptly froze, remaining still behind me.I closed my eyes and sobbed painfully. I know that if I do what he wants me to, then it will likely restore his trust in me but doing so seems like an impossibility when my mind is full of such repugnance and hatred. Even though he has already broken through my defenses and taken advantage of me, I simply cannot continue to act out these charades any longer. All the fear and sadness came crashing over me as if a tidal wave had been unleashed within my soul.A long, uncomfortable silence settled over the room. I could still feel Lowell's presence inside me, a sensation that seemed to pulse with its own energy. I thought he would keep going for longer considering how aroused he was, but suddenly his lips found my
“Show me what you got.”Without hesitating I immediately shifted into my beast form, the most powerful and deadly one that I had used when fighting him. Gathering all my strength and courage, I released a loud howl of power as if trying to send him to his demise in just a single blast. My eyes were bulging with rage and hatred; my body was shaking with fury as I prepared for the battle ahead.Adrenaline pumped through my veins, rapidly increasing the strength of each hit while sharpening every sense that resided. Everyone around us suddenly fell to their knees, some of them too stunned to move. I felt my blood run cold and clenched my fist tightly, glancing at the looming figure of Gigantor. He remained stoic in the face of such terror. The howl had echoed throughout the place and sent a shudder up my spine that wouldn’t easily be forgotten.I stopped in my tracks as soon as I became aware that Gigantor wasn't cowed by the intensity of my howl. I groaned audibly and raised my hand t
“In just a few short days, the long-awaited ceremony will commence. For weeks, anticipation has been steadily building until it is almost palpable in the air. Everyone has made preparations for this special occasion and cannot wait to get the celebrations underway.” I shut my eyes as I heard the hushed whispers of the skulks discussing the upcoming ritual. I was confused as to how it was all going to play out, yet my thoughts kept returning to what Lowell had told me. Did he really mean it? Is this the explanation behind all of this commotion? What might transpire if his father discovers the truth? I just can’t wrap my head around it. His words are sparking something inside of me that I shouldn't be entertaining. An anxiety builds in me and I feel a growing sense of dread for what is to come. There feels like there is so much at stake, and such a limited window for finding a resolution. After Lowell left the room, I was too distracted to relax and lay down on his bed. Instead, I fou
The vehement slam of the door caused me to jump backwards in surprise. As I gathered my wits, I slowly spun around to see him planted just beside the door.His presence sent a chill down my spine, his calculating eyes were enough to make even the strongest of people weaken in fear. It seemed like he had been standing there for years, unfazed by whatever was going on around him. His gaze remained intense and unwavering.“You know that I can punish you for what you did there, Daciana.”I closed my eyes, struggling to quell the anger that had been building inside of me for so long. To be honest, I had endured enough of being submissive with him. I was done playing the role of a victim when I knew deep down in my heart that I could fight for my freedom if only given the chance. A fierce determination began to swell within me and I made a silent vow to myself - no more submission, no more pretending - it was time to take action and fight them.I held my breath as he slowly advanced towards
I suddenly feel completely overwhelmed as situations quickly develop, completely catching me off guard.Every moment feels like a whirlwind, my emotions swaying in countless directions and my thoughts racing at a million miles an hour. Nothing has prepared me for this, the magnitude of it all too much for anyone to comprehend. I’m not sure what I should do or how to respond; every second that ticks by brings with it more pressure and anxiety.Everyone was bustling around, doing their part to organize the ceremony that would take place this day. All of the tasks had to be completed - arranging the hunt for food and searching for a suitable spot. The amount of activity made it all seem overwhelming, but everyone needed to contribute in order for things to go smoothly. Even those not accustomed to physical labor had no choice but to help out as much as they could. Everyone was so focused on their specific duties that nobody stopped by until they were absolutely finished.I'm overwhelmed;
Anger has taken a hold of me, an intense, burning sensation that courses through my veins and boils in my stomach.No words can accurately explain the outrage consuming me. My fists clench at my sides, and all rational thought has been replaced by pure rage. This is not like me; I'm usually quite gentle and composed - but right now, I feel anything but calm.How could they possibly do something like this to me? I am left speechless by Lowell's cruel schemes, taking my father and the members of my tribe as hostages simply to draw me into their ritual. There is no denying that it was an act of terror, one that completely shattered my sense of peace. I barely have enough strength left in me to contain the rage bubbling away inside - how can someone be so willing to go so low just for some kind of power?Right now I just want to get up and go, escape this feeling of being stuck. When I was thinking about it earlier, I was torn about staying or leaving. But none of that matters anymore; at
“Adolf! Come back here!”But I just couldn't turn away now. I had to get there as soon as possible before the ceremony began. There was even a possibility that it might be moved to another day, and if that happened then all of my work would have been for nothing. The thought of starting all over again with the preparations made my heart sink; had I acted sooner, none of this wouldn’t even happen.I had transformed myself into a full-fledged beast and ran with all my might, trying to find her scent as fast as I could. With every little bit of energy I had in me, I searched high and low, travelling just to have any lead on her whereabouts. But however hard I tried, no matter how much time and effort was put into it, unfortunately for me the trail eventually went cold. Nothing but dead ends were leading me further away from her-the frustration is overwhelming.“DACIANA!”I paid no heed to the enemies who could hear me; all of my attention was solely focused on her and the harsh reality t
My anger was boiling, ready to take his head and fulfill my mission. I could taste success and it felt sweet, but suddenly my heart started to sink and doubt crept in.He ceased abruptly, coming to a complete standstill without any warning. There was no indication he would make such an abrupt stop, no clues that something was amiss. It threw me off balance, and she I was left confused and unsure.“I know what you are planning, Daciana.”My eyes widened in shock when he shot me a look of icy contempt. Instinctively, my mouth dropped open and my body felt on edge as I held his gaze. Even though I felt so overwhelmed by the situation, I knew that it was important for me to remain composed and not let any crack in my composure slip out. His expression was one of authority and power, something that had never been seen before by me; it made me feel incredibly vulnerable and small in comparison.“You've brought me to this point anticipating that I would be fully willing to accept the ultimat
