CRYSTAL"Your eyes are all swollen," John says as he cups my face and wipes my tears with his thumb. "Why the tears, hmm?" he sighed heavily. "After I stormed out yesterday, I realised I was such a fool. You've been waiting diligently for me, wanting me all this time and I just walked out. I hope you can forgive me, love." his eyes are sad and he rests his forehead on mine."I was so worried when I got back after a few minutes and you were already fast asleep. I called a doctor but he's human so I-""You called a doctor? Which doctor?" I haven't had another doctor touch me in all my life. If my family gets a hold of that one, I'm doomed. "D-Did he draw my blood? What tests did he do?"John doesn't look half as worried as I do. He's the one who's possibly going to die if word gets out."No. He just checked your pulse, that's all," he pouts as I heave a sigh. "Is something wrong?"I must've acted too worried and scared for him to look at me with such suspicion, "N-Nothing at all," I lean
CRYSTAL"Get out!" I scream with my eyes shut, pushing John off me and pulling my skirt down to hide my ass."What the-- Crystal what the fuck!" John almost yells back in shock but when I open my eyes again, Silver is nowhere to be seen.I can still smell him. No doubt, he didn't go far. John is staring at me like I'm a mad woman while he fixes his already hard dick back into his pants.I hurry to the kitchen and take a quick look around but he's vanished like he wasn't even there. How the fuck did he get in? I wasn't imagining things! I saw him! I heard his voice-- Fuck! I can still smell his pheromones and it's making me pant.I'm no pervert but I'm even more turned on than before. I know it's his scent commanding so much out of me-"Crystal!" John grabs me by the arm and whirls me around to glare in my face. "What the fuck was all that about?"I can't bring myself to focus on him as my thoughts are all over the place. I'm scanning the kitchen again, making sure I didn’t miss a spot-
CRYSTALWhy… Why didn't it work?It's supposed to work. That's how rejection works. I read the books so long ago- history couldn't have changed now, could it?His hand is warm on my cheek and it's heating my body up. When I notice him again, his face is already so close with his eyes on my lips and it's easy to tell what he's thinking."You can't run from me," he leans even further and I slam my hand on his chest, trying to push him off but he's more steel than man as he doesn't budge."Let me go," I whisper and tears roll down my cheek. I'm terrified, creeped out and backed up against a wall here. I want nothing to do with him yet it feels like my strong will is nothing when it's up against fate."I don't want this," I whisper. "Please let me go-"But his response is his scent becoming stronger, making my knees quiver as I drown in the ecstatic feeling that fuels my wolf and plunges me into a sexual feeling that my cries and pleas now turn into something else.I'm no longer begging t
CRYSTALI awake suddenly with a fever and a burning sensation on certain parts of my body like he had been holding me up until he left.The room has never felt so large before and the silence is deafening, echoing back to me. I look around for signs of him but he's long gone-- judging by his scent. It's not as strong but it is there.Quickly, I jump out of bed and my eyes fall on the nightstand. My favourite picture is lying there without the glass- Oh!He cleaned up after leaving… and cleaned me up too, it seems.I'm now in my pyjamas and it's not even sundown.If he changed me then that means… that perverted man took the pleasure in seeing me naked!My cheeks burn at the thought and I force a frown, this is not something to blush over.I start by cleaning the bedroom, washing the floor, changing the sheets then spraying some air freshener into the air to get rid of his scent after inhaling chunks of it.Since my body is still burning, I take my suppressants, praying it'll work to cal
CRYSTALA threat as strong as that didn't leave my head for the whole day but when Simone and Mike called, telling me the good news, I sobered up for a while and put on a smile at their place.It's a full house by the time I get there. I didn’t expect the party to be this big and on such short notice too. I mean they only just found out, how come their In-laws are everywhere."Crystal!" Simone calls and hurries to me, her brown dreadlocks is flowing in the afternoon wind and her white jumpsuit only makes her look very pretty.She pulls me into a hug and I can see her excitement rolling down her back, "I'm so glad you could make it.""Congratulations, Simone. I'm so happy for you!" I hugged her back. The news of her baby is one she's been expecting for quite a long time now."Thank you. You had to see how Mike froze up when the doctor told us," she throws her head back and laughs. "It was iconic! Goddamn! I wish I had that on camera!"I can only imagine. I know they would make good pare
CRYSTAL"I don't know why you keep going back there. Just get a fucking job or something to keep yourself busy. Take a cooking class or start knitting, that's something," John whines later on, mumbling to himself when he clearly knows I can hear him.My listening abilities now feel like a curse.His whines are giving me such a headache that I want to jump down from the car right now, not caring if it's still moving or not.I'll survive the crash and even heal while I'm at it. It'll be like nothing ever happened."What did you go there for this time, huh? After pushing me off like I'm some stranger, you go to a party?" he scoffed, rolling his eyes."She just threw a party to announce her pregnancy," I say."She's having a baby?" he scoffs. "What does she even know about that? Isn't Mike some struggling teenager?"I snap my head to him, "Mike works at a bank and Simone is the head of the marketing team at a big company and he's not some teenager. He's the same age as you.""Wow! Look at
SILVER-We should go back there. Astro says gently and I stare hard at the glass, building up her image in my head.-I don't feel comfortable leaving her there.Of course you don't. I couldn't agree more.-You think he's bad news too, right?Yes, yes.-No one should know how good our mate moans and how sweet she tastes.…I like that we agree on that.I'm picking up my glass of wine with a smile, thinking how my beast and I are one and the same."Penny for your thoughts, dear?" my mother asks, drawing my attention back on the table. "What is it?" her curiosity grows stronger and I know she's not dropping it till she gets an earful."Thinking about the wedding," I shrug."Ouh!" she's smiling and sitting up straight, wiping her mouth with a napkin. "I never thought I'd see the day you'll bring up a wedding first."I turn to her, "Even after you set me up for this?"She rolls her eyes, "Don’t be dramatic, my love. I foresaw your stubbornness and I saved you from ending up alone by thirty
CRYSTAL"Where.. He is right now," I repeat the words with a nervous beat of my heart as I search Silver's face. Why would he ask me that?Did he go to the house first and saw John leave or was he insinuating that John wasn't home right now-"I wonder… if you know," Silver continues with his detective eye putting me on guard. "You know, don't you?"John… not home… I know?Is he… is he referring to that?My eyes are going wide and I stare with every fibre of my being in shock of his words. I suddenly feel like shrinking and disappearing into the ground.His eyes study my face and I try my hardest not to look suspicious when in fact, I want to bury my head somewhere and never show my face ever again."Really? That's surprising, Crystal," he sighs. "You don't look so good playing the fool," he rolls his eyes and a wave of irritation surges through me.He snooped around, didn't he? He followed us and tried to find a weakness in my marriage to use against me -- How shallow of him! If he th
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!”
