As expected, Braylon walked down the stairs hale and hearty. His perfect skin glommed out of exposure to the direct sun light penetrating in.
he was more hot and charming walking down the stairs, his muscles were curvy and sexy. So much that Imogen could barely take her eyes off not until he reaches the table.
She cleared her throat as if she wasn’t looking and continue with her meal. Braylon who already knew she was looking scoffed and sat next to her.
The maid had his own steak and a bowl of medicine served in front of him. He picked up his cutlery and dogged into his meal quietly, as if there was no one at the table, he continued with his meal.
Camiona, who was feeling irritated by his actions decided speak up.
“You should at least say hi or something, we’re not statues” &nbShe looked back to see no one other than Braylon. He was standing and abutting against the wall behind Imogen. His glare was seductive, as he detached from the wall and walked towards her. He beckoned to the maids standing near her and they took their leave. Imogen’s head was down as she cursed inside, ‘what on earth does he want now, I mean he literarily ignored me at the table and now he is back for what?’ she scoffed looking at herself once again before standing to her feet and reached for her dress. Without exchanging glances with him, “what is you want?” she inquired, probing her dress before exhaling. Brandon folded his arms and moved next to her like he wants to prob her instead. Imogen was shocked by his sudden actions. Her expression speaks a lot.
The ceiling of the building at the top where Imogen was standing was weak and could collapse at any point in time. Its cracking sounds were disturbing. It had everyone’s attention except for Imogen who was wondering why they were staring at her. She was too late to realise. The ceiling had already detached from its parts and now aiming towards Imogen. She was stunned that she couldn’t move a muscle. She was standing there and staring at the ceiling falling. She closed her eyes hopelessly, expecting what was to come. The crowd was worried but no one could jump in and save her. Abruptly, Imogen was drawn and twirled around forcefully by somebody, locking in his arms. At first, she thought she was gone but when it landed and made the loudest bang, she knew it wasn’t over for her. She opened her eyes to see Braylon breathing heavily. She could feel his fear through his tight grip around her waist, he felt so warm and hopeful. Her heart moved for a moment when she locked eyes with him.
Braylon noticed Imogen’s expressions. She tilted her head up and looked at him with proud expectations and her arms folded in front of her. He was more infuriated and furious, he felt like ordering for her head at that moment but he’s got no power now that Grandma Aubrey is back. He forcefully ignored her and composed his speech. “I…I’m sorry,” he managed to say. “That doesn’t sound sincere, are you okay with that girl?” Grandma Aubrey asked as he shot Imogen a dead glare, she looked at Grandma Aubrey instead and decided to free him from his mistakes. “That’s fine for me, I bet he can't do more than that,” she replied as they both chuckled while Braylon was fuming in anger. He left the room angrily and headed to his king's size bedroom.Grandma Aubrey sat on a side of the bed and held Imogen’s hand, she smiled for a reason that only she understands. Imogen continued to stare at her, observing how beautiful and brave she was. She finally gets to meet the friendliest person in the who
Imogen could barely see Braylon clearly. She was already drowning in the thought of being close to death. She was hopeless. She tried to get rid of his tight grip but she couldn’t. Her bones had already weakened. She choked each time he tightens. The look in his eyes was villainous. He isn’t acting like the real Braylon. He looks so furious and deadly. Imogen was close to losing her consciousness when a figure barged in and saw the present scene. He rushed towards them and biffed the intruder in the face, he tumbled off the bed releasing Imogen from his tight grip. She fell unconscious immediately, unable to see her life saver. The figure pulled out a dagger from his overcoat and stabbed the heart of the intruder as soon as he became weak and powerless. Unable to fight back. The duplicate skin he imitated wear off immediately, leaving a very pale true version of him. His dead body was creepy like the walking dead’s. The figure rushed up to Imogen and called out her name but he was
Camiona’s eyes fumed with anger, “Who do you think you are?” she snapped at her, wiggling her head sideways like she was going to slap her again. Imogen scoffed, looking at her like a pathetic loser, “Who do you think I am?” she retorted. “At least I’m a human, I am not an animal like you. Pure animals in human form,” she added and this hit Camiona hard in the ass. She felt so insulted and angrier. She was tempted to slap her again when a maid banged in whispering in her ears. The maid took a step back after and Camiona returned to Imogen. She bent towards her, fondling her hair before shoving it backwards tightly as Imogen gasped slowly. “I don’t know your relationship with my mate, but one thing I know is that you're gonna be so unlucky, he will be mine forever, nothing can change that. Do not get on my f**king nerves with your witty plans! You are only a mere human,” she whispered in her ears before releasing her from her tight grips.She w
Braylon started the message when everyone gathered around. Imogen was a few meters away from him with Camiona standing next to her, they both exchanged irritating glances before focusing on what Braylon had to say. “Everyone had tons of memories here, both good and bad memories. But the Quarians are back, they are after us. In two days, they will surround this place. We have to start moving as soon as possible, we have to make things fast, the prediction may be faster than predicted.”Braylon announced as the crowd was very disturbed at the same time sad to leave the mansion. He dismissed the crowd and walked past Imogen like she was invisible. She smirked and turned to head to her room when Camiona’s voice stopped her. “I knew you would bring bad luck to this place the moment you stepped into this mansion,” she said. Imogen didn’t exchange glances or look back at her. She decided to walk on and ignored her. Camiona shot her a dead glar
Braylon walked onto Camiona after Imogen’s final disappearance. He put on a serious face and looked into her eyes suspiciously. She noticed this and started to avoid his gaze. “I see you’ve come to see her off,” he said. On the other hand, trying to figure out the range between her and Imogen. Camiona hesitated for a while trying to hide her true self but the obnoxious words that silently slipped out of her tongue “B***h!” wasn't able to. “Yeah, she’s our guest at least,” she managed to say. Arrogantly staring back at him, “I should see her off,” she added.Braylon was more doubtful. He knew her response spoke a lot for a reason that he was clearly sure of. Everyone knew Camiona was capable of doing anything since her father was the alpha of a pack. Not only was she mated to Oliver because he was her mate but to maintain peace between the two packs. She walked off while Braylon suspiciously stared at the sight of her leaving. He beckoned to one of the
Braylon found her strange, he frowned his brows and looked at her eyes once again. It was pleading desperately for his affection. He cleared his mind and decided to lie in bed with her. He raised up the blanket and she moved in a little. She rested her head on his chest as soon as his head reached the pillow and wrapped her arms around him.Braylon found this strange like it was nothing he had done before, he played along by wrapping an arm around her shoulders to hold her more tightly to him. She adjusted within his arms till she found comfortability and slowly closed her eyes. Oliver slightly opened his eyes. His vision was blurry and his healing wound made him grunt in pain. His head went tinnitus for a moment before he finally regained his vision. His breathing was heavy and difficult to control. He attempted to move from his current position when he realised his both hands were being tied to a pillar upwards. He grunted as the pain increased. He had already become pale having l
It almost felt like she was dreaming. She could feel her leg swinging in the air and her arms wrap around two muscular shoulders. What she didn’t understand was why were her legs in the air? She could feel movement though but do not understand anything that was going on. She could feel the weakness in her joints that she almost groan in pain. She opened her eyes slightly as she could see herself moving towards a field outside the mansion.What is this? What is happening? She thought to herself. She looked down to see her legs floating, “Oh god!!” she panicked. She looked to the side to see what was supporting her and saw two guys smiling at her. She was relieved, at least she’s not what she thought she was doing. Floating. She looked forward to see Braylon and Oliver standing and smiling at her. The guys put her down immediately they got in front of them. Imogen was confused. “Was that really necessary?” she asked as Braylon choose to ignore her question. “Do you sleep well my
Pausing for a moment, she wiped her tears away. “Why did you use me?” She asked. He stepped closer whilst Imogen stepped backwards.“I would wait in that room every day, stare outside the room, hoping you could show up just like you had disappeared. Every minute I breathed, I was thinking of ways to make my powers work so I could lift your fucking curse and what? you used me in return and ditched me like I was some leftovers. I had loved you through those five years without, for a minute, loathe you for not returning.” She breathed and yelled.Holding back her tears, “I missed you very, very much.” She ran her fingers through her hair and couldn’t even look at Braylon. Braylon was overwhelmed with emotions. He is on the verge of crying at any moment. At this point, he couldn’t hold it in anymore. He had to tell her exactly what his reasons were. “It wasn’t my wish to deceive you. I couldn’t bring myself to tell you that you have to die for the curse to be lifted, so I had to. If I’m
“What!?” They both looked back to her standing behind them. She had this straight face and a scowl took over when their eyes met. Braylon took steps towards her trying to cover what she had obviously just found out.“You deceived me for your own cause?” she asked as disappointment swapped in. “No, you have to understand. I…I can explain things to you,” Braylon tried to hold her hand but she shifted away from his touch. She looked at him one last time regretting. All she had done was waited and longed for him for the past five years thinking he loved her and he would come back.A drop of tear rolled down from her eyes. Braylon started to realise he was a jerk. He could feel how sad she was and the feelings of betrayal in her eyes. He could see that at that moment nothing he says would make any difference. He stepped away from her, looking away from her. She scoffed and wiped away her tears, sniffing. “Do you love me?” she asked but got no response from Braylon.“I must be stupid to h
Her speed was getting faster and faster, running further into the woods without any specific destination. Her eyes were filled with intense anger. She got these long sharp fangs, distorted face and rough skin. She was sneering at the same time panting heavily. Her bare foot had gone bruised and cold. Her dress was drenched in Ryan’s blood. She now looked like a queen who ran away from her inauguration after murdering her own king with is exactly what happen. She pulled to a rough stop as soon as a soft breeze blew towards her. Immediately, she was assuaged and calm, still panting. She looked around suspiciously like she noticed the presence of something around her. She was grunting. She looked back and forth continuously without sighting anyone. Her next step made her stopped suddenly, she turned back to see a figure in front of her with a welcoming smile. The smile disappeared when he saw her eyes. Staring and ready to devour him. She turned her head like a zombie and snarled at
Getting to the private reserved room, the waitress stopped at the door and took her leave after showing her the room. The guest nodded and gave her a small tip in appreciation. She opened the door to see her boyfriend seated at the side of a table dressed in an expensive and fitted suit. He had a nice hair cut and was looking more handsome than he ever was to her. He was about a normal height, hot and young that any girl could trip for. He is just as rich but not as rich as her.She blushed in secret as he stood up to pull her into a warm hug. “Damn! Imogen, you look stunning,” he said as he gave her a soft squeeze. She groaned at it and released her from the hug. He pulled out a chair for her and had her seated opposite him. He held her hand and she continued to blush, stealing glances at him. It’s not like it’s their first time going on a date, she was just shy because it was their first anniversary together. Her boyfriend rang the call bell and a waitress arrived after some sec
Those years of waiting for his arrival never seem to end. It’s been five years now. The alpha is yet to be found, neither could Imogen find a way to lift the curse nor did she forget how Braylon was swallowed by a dark shadow right in front of her eyes. She is yet to discover what that shadow was. And she will stop at nothing to look for a way to lift the curse. ***She had been alone in her dark lonely empty room for a year now. Grandma Aubrey was on the other hand concerned that she might get herself killed at that moment. She headed to her room and opened the door to her doing yoga on her bed. The room was unexpectedly clean, well-kept and cold. It was literally freezing outside and she kept the windows open widely. She was just there doing her thing. She does not seem bothered or shivering at all but her skin was pale and her face was all matured, very different from when she just got into the mansion. She had cut her long curly hair short. She now has a bob hairstyle with some s
For the next couple of seconds, Imogen was touched by his apology. She turned to lock eyes with him. He looked so charming, stood right there with the most sincere face she has ever seen him with. "You said what?" She wanted to hear him again. "I'm sorry…." He looked down. Just as Imogen walked onto him, she smiled. When she got to him, she pulled him into a kiss. They fell on the bed behind them. Imogen stopped and looked at him. "I didn't know you look this sexy while apologising," she smiled.He turned her over and now he was on top. He kissed her like he had missed her for a very long time. Imogen looked up while he kissed her neck which sent sensations her whole body. She wasn't believing it not until he pulled the blanket over then smiling down at her.***When Imogen realised what she was doing, it was already over . Grandma Aubrey walked into the bedroom and found them naked beside each other. She had waited a long time in her room for I
“Did you just ask me to shut it, you know you're being rude right?” “So, what are you going to do?” she retorted, stepping an inch closer to him. “Tie me down and beat me up this time?”“Not totally a bad idea,” he smirked and carried her bridal style to her side of the bed while she struggled to get down, hitting her palm against his chest to let her down.He didn’t hesitate, he forcefully dropped her on the bed and left her bouncing. He then grabbed her two hands and reached for a rope lying beside the bed. He placed her hand over her head and tied them to the bed rail. She stopped moving when she looked up to see that her hands were tied and there was no way she could escape. But Braylon had tied her in a way that she could move well in her sleep. He stood there and stared at her, watching the way she stared at him with hatred in her eyes. On the other hand, Imogen was getting irritated with the way he looked at her. It was like his eyes were scrutinising her entire body. “Do
‘After all this while, a normal human with incredible and disastrous powers? The madman at the party? Numerous attacks? I’m just f**king realising that she is the owner, what it meant by not rising our curse is that’ “she is the owner!” Braylon thought as he couldn’t help but mutter his last sentence.Oliver looked confused. He neither could understand the situation nor could he understand what Braylon was saying. “Braylon? What is going on?”Braylon looked at him puzzled, stunned at the same time. “The reason why I couldn’t use my powers. I mean, the curse that was imposed on the alphas. She…. she can lift that curse,” “Wait, that means…Oh! My! God! The last heir to the Crawford…. Imogen Crawford,” he replied within the period of time his memory flashed back to the hospital. He had seen her name on her identity card, also at her house on her award crystal. “Now I know exactly why she’s like that,” Braylon said.
