‘Those stairs leads to….. Store room!’How dare they do this to me? Don’t they remember what happened thirteen years ago?I remembered how they locked me in during hide and seek. I begged Mark that I didn’t want to play but he still insisted. That r*scal thought it will bring us great joy to play hide and seek when there is no electricity.I was a complete fool to come here to hide and someone locked me inside. I shouted for help but nobody came to my rescue for hours. The parents were busy with the silly barbecue near the lake!I could hear animals’ roars and unpleasant noises. Out of terror, I was shivering and sweating at the same time. I don’t know for how many hours I was in there until my dad and Oliver found me unconscious right here. My father was so mad at everyone that he swore not to come here ever. That was the last time we visited this rotten ugly house. The audacity of my uncles, they woke up after three years and came to apologize all over again at our place because m
This time, I was even more taken aback by seeing what was inside.‘WHAT THE HELL!’The huge box was overflowing with gigantic shining silver-colored chains.“Is this real silver? Why do they have chains and not silver bars?” I looked confusedly at them.I went ahead and picked up one of the chains.“AHH!” scream left my mouth when my entire layer of skin which touched the metal was burned and blood started to flow.“Rosey?” I heard Oliver’s voice from behind.He suddenly pulled me behind which resulted in the chain dropping from my hand.“Ahh! It hurts” tears left my eyes as the pain was unbearable.I was stunned at how my hand could burn and tear apart just by touching a pair of normal chains.‘Did these crazy bitches apply acid on it?’‘Or am I allergic to silver?’If I am not wrong, it felt like those chains were digging into my flesh.As I was completely immersed in my train of thoughts and didn’t move for a while, Oliver held me in his arms and gently kept me on the bed.“Wait he
“WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOUR HANDS?” He grabbed both of my hands suddenly but gently to have a look.“Nothing, I just touch those chains and…” I tried to explain but Mark cut me off.“What? Chains? How can you injure your hands like this while only touching the chains? It looks like it is burned” Mark looked at me accusingly like I have committed some unspeakable crime.‘Does he think I was playing with fire?’“Oh, I…” I made another failed attempt to explain myself but to increase my frustration, this time, Oliver cut me off,“There was a mild acid on the chains” he explained calmly.“Acid on the chain? Why?” I asked in astonishment as I removed my hands from Mark’s.“And why are there so many weapons in those two closets?” I asked while pointing towards the two closets I proudly left open.Mark turned towards the closet and his eyes widened in shock.“Woah! Why do you need so many guns and are those axes, spears, and shovels, I don’t even know what to call those on the sides! wh
I thought the torture ended by Mark’s and Oliver’s aggressive debate, but I changed my mind immediately when I heard the next one,“Rose, it must feel so nice to play the victim and make every guy take your side” Laina commented, her tone laced with hatred and jealousy. I was about to give her the peace of mind but Oliver beat me to it.“What do you mean? Who is playing the victim?” I asked in anger.“You always….” Laina, as always, tried to put the blame on me but shut her mouth immediately when she heard Oliver’s agitated voice,“Can you just stop for once?”At that moment, I was so done with them that I decided that I won’t go any further with them.An idea popped into my head and I grabbed my leg.“Ahh!” I screamed painfully.“What happened?” Oliver asked, his voice full of concern and care.Everyone stopped and, Mark, Oliver and Olivia came towards me.“I think I sprained my ankle” I replied clutching my leg like I am in so much pain.‘See, this is called acting baby’“You can’t
Elijah’s POV:I took a deep sigh before I knocked on the door of my parent’s room.“Come in, Son” I heard my father’s, the current Werewolf King Alpha Cole Smith’s, stern voice.I entered the room and saw my father looking outside the window, his back facing towards me.“You called for me, Dad?” I asked in a casual tone, pretending like I didn’t know that he called me here to argue on the same topic all over again.“I heard that you rejected all of them” He replied, his voice colder than before.“Yeah. Where is mom?” I tried to change the topic unsuccessfully.“She went outside for some fresh air. Now tell me, why did you not choose anyone? They were Alpha’s daughters of each and every reputed pack around the globe!” His voice was still cold, his expressions were serious.“Dad, I think we already had this discussion multiple times. I don’t want to go through this argument again, but I’ll still tell you one last time. I do not wish to be with a girl who is not my mate! I am waiting for
Elijah’s POV:“Liam, are you really feeling pity for the family because of whom our Alpha lost his brother?” I heard my other friend, Matt Willer, ask in astonishment.I felt a sharp pain deep in my chest like someone was piercing a sword right through my heart. It has been a while since someone mentioned my brother.Chase Smith, my innocent and caring older brother. The one who was supposed to be the Crown Prince. I lost my brother because of them! All of them are responsible for this.My life became a complete mess because of them! I will never forgive them! NEVER!“They are the reason for so much chaos erupting in the castle and you are still showing mercy for them, Liam? Should we not support Alpha in his tough time? We are his best friends. You are going to be his future Beta! The Beta of Werewolf King Alpha Elijah Smith! How can you of all people say that!” Matt uttered in disbelief.“But Matty..” Liam tried to argue but I cut him off immediately.“Anyone showing mercy for them
Elijah’s POV,‘Is she, my mate?’ I thought as I was completely bewitched by her beauty.Another gunshot made me come to reality. I can’t let them hurt her. Even if she is not my mate, I can’t let them hurt an innocent girl.She looked so pure and innocent.She is everything I wanted in my woman.I couldn’t break the eye contact. I just couldn’t. I wanted to look into those deep emerald-green globes for the rest of my life.But if she is near me, they will hurt her. I can’t afford that.I didn’t want to scare her but that was the only solution I could think of.I looked at her with a darkened expression and growled.She was terrified. She took a step back in fear.‘Good girl! Now hide behind the trees and save yourself’ I thought as I was moving towards her.With each passing second, all I could think of was taking her into my arms.I wanted to touch her so badly.I wanted to touch and confirm if she is my mate but the time is just not right.‘Once I get rid of these lousy creatures, I
“You have to marry me, NOW!” He said in a demanding tone.“WHAT?” I shouted in disbelief and he winced like I just pierced his eardrums.Well serves him right, is he listening to his own sh*t? Mate? Marry? Is he out of his freaking mind?He didn’t get to reply as he lost consciousness right after my scream.I was fuming with anger. I want answers. No! I need answers! Who the heck does this gorgeous naked guy think he is? And who the absolute hell does he think he is to order me around? I took a couple of deep breaths to calm myself down.My eyes fell on blood flowing through his forehead. I couldn’t help but wipe it with the long sleeve of my beige-colored top. Damn me! It was brand new!Looking at the blood stain the entire fight flashed through my mind.“The poor guy was beaten so badly. He wasn’t attacking at all. It was all their fault” I whimpered and another thought popped up in my head,“I think he hit his head too. Maybe a little too hard. That’s why he must be hallucinating
