JOHN I pace the front door rather impatiently as my anger skyrockets. I've been standing outside for more than twenty minutes now. How did she change the locks so fast? She's really going to kick me out and pretend like I didn't pay for this place with my hard earned money? She's never been this ungrateful, this is topping the charts. Even Crystal didn't change the locks despite giving me divorce papers. Who does she think she us- “ Daddy!” I lift my head at the familiar squeaky voice and I find my daughter running to me. I go down on my knees and spread my arms with joy in my heart at the sight of her. “ Come here, darling,” I hug her in my embrace, lifting her up with my hand over her head as I press my face against hers. “ I miss you so much.” “ Me too,” she says with glee, always so excited to see me. It's one of the joys of coming back here. Her mother, however, is glaring at me as she walks closer and I'm not even surprised. She rolls her eyes and walks past like she does
CRYSTAL “ What the fuck are you doing?” I can still feel her long wet tongue on my cheek– is that even normal length. “ Get off me,” I'm suddenly pissed but she's staring at me like I'm fascinating. “ I understand you're of Alpha blood too,” she suddenly lets me go and steps back but doesn't quite give me enough space. If anyone took a picture of us now, they'd surely blackmail me when I haven't even dealt with John's blackmail. Her pheromones are strong, no doubt and they are rubbing off against me the wrong way and I'm almost growling at her. “ You look… beautiful with that anger in your eyes-” “ What do you want?” Why would she attack me in the middle of the day and yap about Silver unless… she's Silver's new bride. “ I am Alpha Claire of-” “ What do you want with me?” She pauses at my interruption, her eyes squinting with a small annoyance for a while as she studies me. I have no intentions to be dragged into any threats or fight for a man. Although, I'm itching
JOHN I'm almost shuddering in my breath as I look down at Crystal who searches me eyes with confusion on her brows. I've fallen for that innocent look too many times but this time, I won't be her fool anymore. “ What are you talking about?” She asks, making no attempt to get up from the floor. Good! Because that's where she fucking belongs. On the fucking floor, underneath me. Tatiana really thinks she's above me? Well I wouldn't place a naive child with misplaced priorities over a hard working man like myself. Despite having two heads, Crystal and her wolf are still dumb as fuck but this time, they outsmarted me and I'm gonna make her pay for that. “ You know what I'm talking about!” I snap, her lies and deceit falling on deaf ears as I grab her hair and yank her up. She cries out in pain, holding my wrist as tears fall down her cheeks, groaning all over the place. “ You made him do it, didn't you?” My anger is like molten lava and I wish for nothing more than to explode righ
CRYSTALMy whole body feels numb save for the side of my cheek that stings and rings in my veins, a subtle reminder of the product of his anger. Why do I have to go through this? It stings… it stings so bad and it hurts… my chest hurts and feels so heavy luke the weight of my anger rising from deep within is pressing hard against my heart.It's getting harder to breathe. The whole house is suffocating and I can barely breathe in and out without using my mouth.I fall forward, placing my hand on the cold floor and the other over my heart, squeezing my shirt over my chest area as I gasp for air, tears streaming down my face.Something is wrong. The sounds leaving my throat don't sound human. That is not me.I open my eyes again and I gasp in fear as my vision feels so far from my eyes, almost as if I'm at the back of my mind own mind.-A slap!The bold voice shoots out from inside me, filling my head and my ears and I look around frantically for who's speaking but I know that answer c
CRYSTAL**FLASHBACK**I hid under the table with my heart pounding in my chest. His footsteps are just outside the door.The door opens and I hold my breath, eyes going wide in panic.If he finds me, it's over. I won't feel my ears for a while but I can't do it. I can't step outside-“Ah!” I squeal when his large hands grab my legs and pull me out effortlessly. The bright light from my window almost blinds me and I'm hanging upside down in my father's grip.His brows are furiously knitted and the scowls are no joke. Uh-oh! I'm in big trouble.“ What are you doing here, Crystal?” I gulp at his voice as he makes no attempt to set me down on my own two feet. “ Hiding? An Alpha never hides.”There he goes again. Alpha this, Alpha that. Can't I just go one day without hearing that!“ I was…” I think of what to say. “ Looking for my–”“ Looking for a lie?” He half glares but his face softens and he carefully lets me down. “ You should eat more.”He just makes it look so easy. I'm fourteen a
CRYSTAL Silver and I took a shower together. Just having him scrub my back and wash my body was enough to make me relax. Despite his cock pressing against my ass, he didn't make any attempt to turn his actions sexual. After a relaxing shower, we stepped out in our robes and we had dinner and some wine. After which we watched a decent movie together, all the while in each other's arms. He wasn't joking when he said it was just going to be about us. Our fingers were intertwined and not once did he point out the ring I was wearing. I didn't know whether to feel nervous or grateful that he wasn't bringing it up. “Should we visit the beach tomorrow?” Silver asks as we climb the stairs, we were calling it a night so soon. I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore and he had caught me dozing off and yawning now and then. “It would be stupid to visit a beach house and not go to the beach.” “I’m glad you feel the same way. Can you swim?” I shake my head, “Not to save my own life, no.
CRYSTAL“ What are you doing?”I turn swiftly as my heart leaps in shock. He's standing by the door with his arms folded and his smirk suddenly turns to a frown. After acting so suspicious, it's only logical for him to look suspecting.“ You startled me,” I turn back to the bed where I pick up my clothes from the night he brought me here and the beach wear. I've taken a shower and I'm tying the white towel around my chest.“Where are you going with that?” He asks once I walk past him, heading down the stairs.“ Laundry.”“ What for? I can just get you new ones-”“ I have to wear my old clothes back anyways.”He's following behind and I'm very aware of his presence. I chew on my bottom lip, feeling nervous with a weird ache in my stomach. Good thing we didn't have sex last night. He's not willing to use a condom and I don't have my contraceptives here.He must've thought of that. I never imagined he could be so thoughtful. The old him wouldn't have cared less.I don't mind. I'm glad he
JOHN: “ Are you certain though?” Harry asks for the umpteenth time. “ Damn, that's rough! I never thought she was capable of something like that-” I slam the drink on the table, half drunk as I say in a loud voice, “Those werewolves can never be trusted, I tell you! They are a freak of nature and they never should've been accepted into our damn society.” A few drunken men in the local pub chorused in agreement and murmurs rose as we all found a topic to agree on. “ I'll still never understand how man and dog can be in one body. That's a freak!” “ Hey, hey, listen, listen,” one got on his feet, staggering while holding his beer. “ I once dated a were… er… woman. Werewoman-” “Boo!” The other men chorused trying to shut him up. “ Just listen, it gets interesting,” he swears and I give my attention. “She was so beautiful, had a big brown wolf too but you never hit a dog twice. She claimed she was having my kids but bitch, I ain't fathering no dog babies. I blocked the hell outta her
RUBY I open my eyes after a long nap, wondering if I crossed over to the other side after passing out. I trail my fingers over my belly, the place that Jack stabbed me doesn't throb anymore- I jerk up and look around the simple room and my eyes widen as I realise where I am. The last thing I remember was passing out in my mate's garden. Where am I? This is… his room. Besides everything smelling like him, I know because I've watched him for the past weeks, stalking him and sneaking in to sniff his environment and even his bedsheets. Goddess! Did I get caught? What the heck happened? I need to leave before he arrives. I need to find Crystal and let her know I'm safe. Hopefully the cab man has called the cops and has led them to to rescue the other two I met there- I'm trying to get down from the bed when the door opens and I turn my head to it. My heart leaps when I hold his gaze, he's standing by the door holding a steaming cup in his hand and I smell the rich cup of coffee.
JOHNThe night didn't last very long."Get it up!" she groans and hurls a lamp at me and I dodge quickly falling on my knees to protect my head.She was like a mad woman, screaming on the bed and threatening to cut my dick off if I didn't get hard enough for her to fuck me. Her eyes are blazing with anger and she looks like she could rip me apart.I can't. I can't do it.I already came once just from kissing her, running her hands over my body. It has to be the drugs but I can't speak to defend myself. I'm yet to recover my voice."Guards!" she screams and the door immediately bursts open as they rush in. "Take that thing to the slaughterhouse and make sure he gets no food nor water. If he acts stubborn, just drain him of his blood and throw his body somewhere to rot, I don't care."No, no, I can't die like this. All for sex? I want to explain that it's the drug they used on me but the guards are already approaching me with a menacing look on their faces, judging me for upsetting the
CLAIRE“Good morning, Alpha Claire.”I open my eyes as soon as the maid opens her mouth and I growl as I rise to sit in bed with the room still dark as the curtains are yet to be lifted.I stretch my hand and reach for the glass of wine being handed over by routine and after drinking the whole thing, I toss the glass aside, enjoying the sound of it shattering against the wall somewhere.I take a deep breath, preparing myself for the day, just like every other day. Nothing fun ever happens in this part of the world.Wake up, eat, haunt, rinse and repeat. Find some slaves to beat and fuck, it's all the same and boring.It was different a week ago. I got to step outside these walls and search for one of my lab rats who decided to play hide and seek.Thinking back on it now, I shouldn't have killed him so fast. Instant death is never the best option. I would've enjoyed it a bit more if I brought him back here and carved out his face day after day, till his throat burst from all the scream
CRYSTAL I try to stretch but when something hairy tickles my neck, I open my eyes in panic. My heart starts to calm down when I smell his familiar scent and he lifts his head to hold my gaze. He leans in and barely grazes his lips on mine, stirring up butterflies in my belly and making me crave more. It doesn't help when he's shirtless and he's over me, flashing that million dollar smile with my mark on his neck. It's like he's just begging to be taken. Goddess! I sound like a pervert but is it a sin when this man happens to be mine? I slip my hand up his chest and as I continue, his eyes start to darken and I gulp from the lust blaring in them. “You have no idea how much I've been waiting for you to wake up,” he confesses in a dreamy sigh that makes me pause. “Why do I sense a hidden promise there?” I'm stating the obvious and we both know it. But first things first, “Where are we?” I turn my neck to look at my environment and everything feels so familiar. It's my old house wit
SILVER Crystal is trembling in my arms from the gory sight and I glare at grinning Claire who showed up unannounced. I wasn't planning for him to even walk out that door alive but I guess a method is a method. She gags and I give her my attention, watching as she struggles to fight the bile and the urge to throw up. She puts a hand over her mouth and remains still, trying to calm herself. That's not a sight I'd have wanted her to see. “I'm fine,” she assures me after a while, squeezing her eyes as if she can't stop seeing the image. That's one problem taken care of, now we have another one. I glance at John who is lying lifeless on the floor, his breathing is shallow and he probably won't live to see the next twenty minutes. “You can put me down now–” “No,” where did she get that idea from? The last time I put her on her own two feet, I found her underneath a man. It sounds so much worse from how I'm making it but it's the same thing. Crystal lifts her eyes to me in a straight
CRYSTAL My hand has gone numb from the continuous punch to his jaw. I'm straddling him on the cold floor with one hand pressing against his neck and the other set to deliver the next blow. John is somewhere shaking on the floor, I can hear his whimpers and his irregular fast heart beat. I'm numb from his news, my thoughts eating me up alive as I stare into past his bloody face and look into his eyes with a blank expression on my face. Where is she and what did he do to her? I can't rid myself of the image of him driving silver into her belly. Ruby is young and vibrant, full of life and agile… she wouldn't let herself die from this- this dirty and smelly abomination. She's next in line to be Alpha. An Alpha cannot fall like this. He's lying. He's lying. I chant over and over in my head but the look in his eyes only bring about doubts and they interfere with my own thoughts– I flinch when I feel a sharp pain on my leg and I turn to it. There's a piece of wood in his hand and he
CRYSTALJohn whimpers against my palm and his eyes waters and rolls down his cheeks. The fear behind his eyes and the pleading for his life only made me snarl even harsher, asking for my sister.I knew he was capable of terrible things but kidnapping? I could've sworn his sin only ended as a ‘terrible human and a bad husband.’I didn't say a word when I went through so much in his hands. I didn't talk back or argue or question anything but he dared to touch her?“Where is she?” He flinches at my sudden yell. The harshness and the coldness in my voice doesn't feel strange nor does the growl leaving my lips. It's all me. Every single part of him.I push him back with a heavy grunt and he lands on his ass, almost tumbling over on his side. He's shaking like a leaf, picking himself up by turning to keep his eyes on me.He's very afraid, he's quivering, trembling like he's seen the devil herself.“I don't know,” he stutters in each word. “I-I don't know- where she is. I swear-”“You liar!”
RUBY My eyes are heavy and my breathing is harsh as if air has suddenly become so heavy. My whole body has never felt so out of control like there's no life in it. Everything hurts, it's so hard to breathe. My thoughts wanders to dark memories in my mind and worries that have kept me up all night. I squeeze my eyes to discard them, the dark eerie feeling drawing closer and closer till it becomes only a breath away and I'm thrust into it. I can see my room. It's the one I had when I was a child. The walls are painted pink, there are dolls on the bed and on my dresser but I've abandoned them for a while now and they no longer serve their purpose; to entertain me or as my parents hoped, to keep me distracted as they focus on more important matters. I let out a gush of air as I try to shake myself from the darkness, hearing my own groans as my body feels heavier like dead weight. The walls of that room stare back at me, every hour, every day and all I can hear are her grunts, her ef
JOHN I grip the wheels with trembling hands, glancing back and forth at the rearview mirror watching my back as I drive down the busy road. Everyone around me has tinted windows and that only increases my worry and panic.I wonder if I'm being followed. He took the wrong girl. Goddammit! “What the fuck is the meaning of this!” I had screamed when I arrived at the address he sent me this morning. The only reason why I even left breakfast with Crystal’s family so early was due to the picture that came with the message. “Where are they?” I matched towards him and grabbed him by the collar but the creep still had a smile on his face, mocking and ridiculing my strength. With ease, he lifted my hands off of him, “You weren't returning any of my calls-” “That's why you fucking kidnapped my daughter and Tatiana?” I screamed at the lunatic but he obviously wasn't interested in anything I had to say. “You said you had an issue-” “For fucks sake, Jack! I don't need your fucking help!”
