She blinks and looks at me with a confused look. "Huh?"
"You told me that there is a way. A way for me to not go to the Dark Shadow Society. A way for me to survive." I say, desperation clinging to my voice. I cannot help myself. The moment she said there is a way, it's like I see a small fragment of light in the darkness. Even if it's not the proper escape route, it is something for me.
"Oh, yes." She bites her lip. "Sorry, I was just thinking about something. But yes, I know a way but it is also very risky."
I hold her palms and look at her with pleading eyes. "Please. Just tell me anyway. Living with the one and only King Alpha is a risk in itself." I mean what I say. That man is extremely scary and I don't know what fate lies ahead of me. And it is hard to believe that tho

I open my eyes and find darkness all around. There is a small glint of light on my left that illuminates the polished walls and the huge double door in front of me. Where am I? When did I reach here? I turn back,but empty, black darkness appears ahead of me. This is so strange. Finding nowhere else to go, I walk towards the double door and put my hand on the cold mahogany. I slowly push it open and see a balcony, with a person's silhouette standing in front of the railing. The full moon shines under the night sky in it's full glory and the stars twinkle brightly. It looks beautiful. But who is that person?"Hello?" I call that person out but the silhouette does not turn. It keeps standing in front of the railing. I frown and step a little closer. "Uhm, do you stay here?" I try again,but the silhouette does not move an inch. It is standing there like a statute. And then, it stands on top of the railing. My eyes grow wide. "Hey! Don't stand the

I cannot look. Look up at his eyes, face him and tell him that he is simply being a dick. I always wanted to stand up to my parents. But never had the audacity to do it. And now, I can't even look him in the eye. Why am I so weak?"I'm sorry, Alpha." I say. He does not give a reply and walks away from me, giving me the space to breathe. I look up at the nice gardener who is cutting the grass. I should not disturb him. It will only cause him more trouble. I head back to the mansion, considering my position in this house. First a failed Marriage trial and now a low life. That is what I am in his eyes. That is what I keep hearing from everybody. When you hear something for so long, you start believing in it. I believe that this is what my life will be like. Chained and humiliated by others. Maybe I should start accepting it too. Waiting for any kind of hope is stupid.I enter the door of the mansion and look at the empty dark corrid

I turn back and shine the light on the source ,but nothing more except the bark of a tree comes to my sight. So I hold my chest, to stabilize my rapid breathing. Maybe I am just thinking too much. But then the sound of something crack catches my attention and I look frantically here and there. Someone is here. "Who's there?" I shout, but no one responds. My legs start walking ahead, my vision entering the darker parts of the wood. I shouldn't have come here. I should be going back. But everything is so dark that I can't even remember my way back to the mansion.All of a sudden, a loud growl hits my ears and I squinch at the sound. My heart beat catches it's pace and without a second thought, I start running. I don't know where I am going,but more and more trees invite my sight, enveloped with the darkness of the evening. No one will be able to hear me at this moment,when I am so deep in this forest. Will I even be able to come out? What if I am lost here f

I don't understand my own instincts right now. I should be running out of this place and hiding deep inside the mansion, even though it does not feel safe there either. But rather, I am standing here, caressing the fur of the wolf's face to comfort it. If it gets too comfortable then I will be the next meal. Yet something about it feels very familiar. Have I seen it before? I barely have come across any wolves before, how can I know this one? The wolf does not resist my action and just sits on the ground with his eyes closed. The blood flow had stopped, but medicine was required to heal it. How am I supposed to tell it to come with me? And where would I get the medicine?Sadness grips over me as I understand that I cannot help it after this. Even though it is one dangerous creature, no one should be considered harmful before you learn their reason.

As I walk towards my room, I see a shadow on the wall passing my eyes in a second. It was like a blink. I turn around and look everywhere. But all I find are the silent walls, the creepy paintings and the door to my room. That's all. It might be a trick of the light, but after going through weird experiences in this mansion, I am not so sure anymore. Has someone walked by? But how can they be so quick? I shrug, annoyed by my own internal questions. I should stop asking so many questions to things that I can never understand. Just like that werewolf in the forest.The next morning, I wake up and start making my bed. I yawn a few times, because the sleep wasn't good enough. I had weird dreams of that werewolf chasing me in that forest. God knows what's happening to me. If things go like this, I will become a mental patient soon. Hopefully,the mental asylum will be a better p

Olivia fidgets with the fabric of her maid uniform. "I don't know. But from what I can tell, it will be very difficult for you to make your place here. Our Sire is a very complicated man." She inhales sharply and I frown."Complicated?" Honestly, what I could make out of him from the first day is that he is a very arrogant, cocky person who thinks very highly of himself and little of others. At least that's how he behaved in front of me."You will learn eventually. You came today, right? Maybe in a few weeks, you will understand what I am saying." Her voice goes deep and I gulp the lump in my throat. This does not sound good at all. "Eh–if you don't mind–umm–may I ask how you met Sire?""Well, in the Acadia where the mating ball is held."

"HAZEL!!!!" The shouting of my mom downstairs startles me out of my reading journey, leading to my ever-so-favourite Pride and Prejudice drop on the wooden floor. It is the third time I am reading this book and Jane Austen has never grown old. How amazing it was to live through people's hearts even when you had been buried in your coffin a long time ago?The door slams open and in comes my mom with blazing blue eyes that can scare away dinosaurs if they existed in the twenty first century."I have been calling you for so long! Do you plan to stay unmarried until my hair turns grey!" Mom shouts, her chest rising and falling in a struggle for air. And maybe more words for her 'irresponsible daughter'.I sigh. "Yeah mom, I heard. But I was busy." I defend myself only to regret later as my mom's sharp gaze finds the book lying on the floor.She picks it up and flips

The Shopping was finally over and I took a sigh of relief. Buying clothes or searching for some dress isn't my type of thing."Why are you standing here? Let's go. Here take these." Lisa hands me her ten shopping bags over my one and I have a hard time holding onto all of them. Mom had given Lisa all the money to decide the dress for both of us. So Miss Generous was generous enough to get me one cheap evening gown. And she got herself the costliest one with a lot of accessories. Nothing is too much for her."Come on you slut! I'm getting late! I have my parlour appointment." Lisa shouts from the outside.I slowly take a step, the bunch of bags almost covering my sight. One or two bags keep falling from my hands and I pick them up and stack them back again. After a few minutes, I finally get to see the sunlight and put the bags inside the car."Get in." Lisa says

The Marriage Trials Chapter 8
After eating the full plate of pasta that tastes like heaven, I lay down on the cloud that is called a bed. My eyelids feel heavy and the designed ceiling on top of me starts to get hazy with each second. And before my consciousness can warm me, darkness evades everything. But not before seeing the reflection of a very handsome face with dazzling green eyes. I could never tell that King Alpha is so good looking.A thud wakes me up from my sleep and I sit straight on the bed, finding myself in the exact condition from where I left. I didn't even change my clothes. What an idiot! Another knock comes from the door and I call the person to come in. The door opens wide and Olivia walks in with her eyes fixed on the ground. I believe that it is the rule here that royals should not be looked up to by the maids. I was pretty much treated the same way in my house. Calling it my house would be an overstatement."It's alright. You can look
