*insert screams here* who are you to mess with Hailey and Hunter!!
King Hunter Beowulf There was a time I was so lost after not finding my mate. I was completely devastated thinking I was not worth it by the Moon Goddess and everyone had believed this too. I heard the whispers in the corridors, saw the side eyes whenever I passed people, and learned of the uncertainties of my kingdom thinking I could not rule as well if even the Moon Goddess believed I was not enough for a mate. I poured my entire heart and soul out to prove them wrong. With every blood, every sweat, and every tear, I showed them that I could do it, and eventually they began to see it with their own eyes and they stopped doubting me. The only problem was that I began to doubt myself. Though others didn't see it, I doubted my own capability. I doubted myself every single day when I remembered I was not granted a mate. It hurt so much I felt like I was not living, I was merely just waking up, fulfilling my duties, and going back to sleep to repeat the same thing over and over aga
TW: Violence. Please read with caution. The second I knew something was off when the hallway seemed eerily quieter than usual. I remember King Woo Bin inviting us to some parade they held monthly, but surely not everyone would be there? I was certain a few of the staff would still be here, but there was nobody when I was coming back up to mine and Hunter’s tiny room. My suspicions were proven correct the second I got to our floor and three men stood in front of me. I could tell they were out for trouble by the way they carried themselves. Cocky, dangerous, and disturbing. The man in the middle was the tallest, but the one on the right seemed more muscular. The left one was just in the middle of the two. Not too tall, and not too muscular. Who the hell are they? I take a step forward, determined to ignore them when they all took another step towards me, too. What the hell? In my mind, I began to debate between two choices – keep ignoring them and run for my room or turn around an
Even until the end, Hunter loved me until his dying breath. I cried and I cried until there were no more tears left to be released by my body, no more water, no more anything. Not a single word in the dictionary could describe what I was feeling. I was completely devastated. Heartbroken. Lost. Honestly, I wasn't even sure if I was still feeling anything. Seeing Hunter lying on the ground lifeless had destroyed me completely. I don't think I'll ever recover from this. And my biggest fear was him getting lost in my memory, our time together slipping away from my fingers, one question repeating in my head over and over again - was he ever really mine to lose? — I jolted awake, sweat covering me from head to toe, and my body was shaking rapidly. I was cold, but I was also too warm, like my body was on fire but I was thrown into negative temperature water. What... what the hell... Where... am I... now... I rubbed my eyes with my hands and right after I tried to move my body
— King Hunter Beowulf — Mark her?! She wants me to mark her right in front of my mate?! I thought this bitch was crazy, but now I’m sure that she is, and not just that, but an actual deranged psycho–fucking–path. There was no fucking way I was going to do such a thing. Hailey was my mate and not anybody else. The only one that deserves my mark is her and if Suzy thinks she can force me to do otherwise, she’s more delusional than I thought. I know that Hailey is feeling the same way, too, and if I want my plan to work, I need her to be on the same page, but I don’t have a lot of time. Based on my calculations, I have about ten seconds to bring my fangs out, and another ten to sink them into Hailey’s neck and mark her once and for all. I didn’t want it to be like this. I didn’t want to do this in such a fucked up place and situation. I was planning for everything to be perfect, for the two of us to be in a special place for when I do it, but this leaves me no choice. If I want us
Just like Suzy said, they let me go. They picked me up because I was barely moving after watching Hunter disappear with that woman, tied something around my eyes, dragged me into a car, then sped off. I have no idea how long we were driving for. I have no idea what turns we took nor what exits. All I know is that when the car stopped, the person took the blindfold off of me, and then tossed me at the side of the road like I was nothing but a broken thing just to be thrown away. I don’t know what I was anymore. I just no longer felt myself, like a part of my soul had been torn apart from me and I could not utter a word or even think of anything else but him, but my Hunter. A painful thought came into my mind – he is no longer my Hunter. I wasn’t sure what happened after that. The rain had come from nowhere, and even when it got heavier, I didn’t move. I couldn’t move, not for shelter, not for food, not for anything. The next thing I know, I’m on bed and I’m opening my eyes as my
It's been five days since I got back home, back to my Pack, and each day I felt less strange than the last, but still, the feeling lingered. The feeling of me not being where I'm supposed to be, or rather who I'm supposed to be with. It was an endless and monotonous cycle of waking up and wishing I was right next to Hunter, then coming to terms with the fact that I couldn't, so I lived my days the best I could and the only way I could. I guess if there is one thing that I could be really grateful for is the fact that with my re-arrival, somehow, just like Colt mentioned, my family had... changed. A knock on my door startled me out of my thoughts and I pushed my blanket off me. "Good morning, Hailey! Are you up?" She asked on the other side. It was Heather. She's been doing this every morning since I arrived. The first time was weird as hell. And the second, third, but by the fourth time, I somewhat started getting used to it. By the fifth, I began to like it. "Yeah, let me ju
"Are you sure about this, Hails?" Colt asked for, I don't know, the one hundredth time. I'm putting a few things into a bag, just some clothes I'll need for the weekend, and the dress I plan to wear for the... events. I still can't stop pausing and reevaluating things every time I think about where I'm going, but right after I just keep going. I have to. I am determined to do this. To... end things, if ever. I know that seeing Hunter with that woman may either break me, or give me hope that one day Hunter will remember me still. I will go for that tiny sliver of hope. "Yes, and if you ask me again, I'm going to tell Caroline to ban you from getting on her plane." I joked and Colt looked at me with a fake offended expression. "I will not stay quiet while I am treated unfairly!" He exclaimed as he exaggeratedly placed his hand on his chest. "Go take a hike, Alpha Colt." I continued to tease and we ended up just laughing for minutes that my stomach started to hurt. Out of now
— King Hunter Beowulf — I haven’t had proper sleep for quite some time now. I don’t really know what’s going on with me, but every time I close my eyes, I see a woman. She’s dressed in a long red dress, her hair is a color I have never encountered before with silver streaks, and just looking at her from behind makes me feel something I’ve never felt before. My dream always starts with her turned around and when she starts walking, I call out for her. She keeps going, and every time I get closer to her, she runs further away until I am running and running and I become tired, breathless. At the last second, she turns to face me and when I am expecting to see a face, all I see is white where there is supposed to be one. I wake up sweating and panting, my heart thumping loud and fast. Tonight was no exception. I turned to my side and saw that Suzy was still sleeping soundly. I know because her mouth is wide open and she’s making small snoring sounds. I’ve learned to get used to
– King Hunter Beowulf – It was nothing but bliss having Hailey back to me again, and sometimes I even wonder if she’s real, but god, every time she touches me, I know she is. I know she is as real as it gets, and I cannot get fucking enough of her. I’m walking down the hallway to her room where she’s getting ready for our wedding, the one that I had arranged instantly because there was no way in hell I was letting her pass by another second. “I’m coming in,” I said, slightly banging on the door. I heard a shriek on the other side and knew that it’s not Hailey’s. My suspicion was proven correct when the door opened ever so slightly and I saw my cousin staring at me angrily. “What the hell are you doing here? The groom cannot see the bride in her dress!” She huffed and I could hear Hailey’s chuckles at the back. God, I loved her laugh. Just hearing it from here makes my heart beat a little faster. If only Carol would go away so I can tame this beast inside of me trying to escape.
– King Hunter Beowulf – I held her in my arms, crying, wailing, sobbing uncontrollably. I thought that if I screamed harder for her that somehow, in some way, she would hear me and turn back around, that she would come back to me. But seconds passed, and then it turned into minutes, and Colt and Carol had arrived, too. They saw me on the floor, holding onto Hailey, begging for her to come back. “No! No! She can’t be gone!” Colt cried out and I heard Carol in her usual demanding voice telling other people what to do. “Did they check on her?! Where the hell are the healers?!” ‘They’ve already done everything they could. They pulled out the silver bullet in her, but it had seeped into her body far too fast than anybody would have ever thought possible. Whatever that crazy bitch Suzy had, it was powerful.’ I mindlinked to her because somehow words just can’t seem to come out of my lips. “Suzy…” I croaked out to Carol. She shook her head, anger and tears in her eyes, both emotion
There were a thousand different ways I thought this plan was going to go. One, we wouldn’t even be able to get Hunter alone because he’d be too surrounded by guards, or worse, Suzy. Two, he would be too hard-headed and wouldn’t easily be swayed and go with us. Three, he’d just scream bloody murder and kick me out. There were a lot of other things, but this, this was definitely not something I anticipated. He knew me. But not in a way I thought he would. It turns out, he’s been dreaming of me this whole time. It all sounded so insane, but by the shocked and disbelieving look on Hunter's face, I knew he was telling the complete truth. He had the look of a person who was definitely trying to remember my face from something he had already seen before. But when I told him who I really was, he looked like he wanted to throw me out of this car and into prison for committing treason against him. Totally not the romantic Hunter I used to know, but hey, that’s what this plan was for.
