Flashback

As Marissa left the dining room, her only thought was: “I’ll be out of here soon”.She had already drawn a map of the pack using her heightened senses, photographic memory and using the creature whose specialty was to hide in the shadows. The art of escaping was nothing new to her as she had attempted to escape her previous captors severally but was always caught and tortured till she was near death. FlashbackEverytime they were released to take a bath was the only time Marissa could see a place different from her cell. However, they never saw the sun or knew what fresh air felt like but she knew that air was at least coming from somewhere or else, they wouldn’t be able to survive, and she scanned. Acting like she was falling from exhaustion but instead she was just scanning. The falling earned her some hits by the guards.“Stand up you weakling”. They ordered hitting her with the back of their guns. It hurt like her head was smashed into the wall but she continued and fell again

Unsuccessful Escape

“Put me down this instant!”. Marissa yelled as Dario carried her over his shoulders back into the house. She used her powers on him but they all proved ineffective. “Stop there!”. She spoke to a random guard, just to see if her powers still worked, and the guard immediately stopped.“Why isn’t it working on him then?”. She asks herself as the struggled and struggled to no avail. She was so angry that she could burst from just how angry she was in this moment. She had drawn a map a while ago of the pack house as she had planned to escape a long time ago but changed her mind as Claire and Dario began to grow on her. However, after that he locked her up in the dungeons, she realized that he didn’t really care for her and would lock her up again if his people ask it. She knew she had never been loved before and something deep inside of her craved love, craved Dario, craved a sister like Claire but staying here felt like she was still imprisoned but not fully and freedom was all she h

The Breakup

“Why won’t you understand that I can’t live without you?!”. Dario yelled as Marissa threw a tantrum about leaving the pack. “Please”. He pleaded, his voice low and shaky this time. He was in a dilemma that he could not solve on his own. It felt like she always brought out the worst side of the beast and the man in him. He had never expected that he would have to keep her behind any closed door against her will, especially after the guilt he felt the last time. However, the mate he had been waiting on for over a century wants to leave him for good, which was equal to rejecting him and the thought drove him mad. “Can you hear how selfish that sounds? Have you ever asked me about what I want?”. Marissa yelled back from behind the door, her outburst causing an electric shock through the door that zapped himHissing, he stepped away from the door with a sigh. “Please promise me that we’ll talk it out when I open the door, or I swear Marissa, I’ll lock it back until you’re calm”. He r

Accepting Amelia’s Help

Claire had been torn between the two mates who consistently were at each other’s throats, Dario and Marissa. Since Marissa was locked again, Dario had taken it upon himself to bring her to the dining hall himself. Everytime he did, both parties never said a word to each other, and as much as Dario loved to pretend it didn’t hurt, it did. It hurt so bad that his heart physically hurt. All he wanted to do was love her but apparently he sucked at being a lover and had only himself to blame. Everytime he saw her, he itched to touch her. Prayed to hug her but he knew better than to try.She would electrocute his senses away.He had tried before and learnt his lesson. This was not only hard for Dario as Marissa’s hormones went haywire everytime she laid eyes on him. Since she got her powers, Dario has consistently looked like a mouthwatering meal she would love to devour. Everytime his lips moved, she wondered what it could do to her down south. No matter how much she hated him, she c

Bloodied Hands

His ruffled hair, messy shirt and endless sighing had the whole council so frustrated. “Your Highness”. The head of the council skeptically calls out, knowing that Dario was not hearing anything they were talking about. From the way he sighed, to the distant look in his eyes. Anyone could tell that he was present but also not present at the meeting. He had somehow developed anxiety from knowing that Marissa was going to leave. Deep inside of him, he knew he couldn’t keep her here against her will for long. She was strong now and could get away if she wanted to, he knew that very well. “Let’s hold this meeting at a later date”. Dario orders. Standing up and walking away leaving everyone confused but too scared to alter or ask why. He had been on edge recently, and everyone with eyes could see that he was now hot and cold at the same time. No one could predict his mood so they chose to stay clear. Just yesterday, he ordered some guards to patrol around the border and report any

Trusting Amelia

Somewhere inside Marissa, she knew that trusting Amelia was not the right thing to do but she also knew that Amelia wanted her gone and would definitely help her escape. “Even if she does something to harm me along the way, I’ll overcome it. I can just fight it off”. She said to the creature that was slowly becoming her closest companion. She couldn’t tell Claire that she was leaving because she didn’t want to see her cry, as her tears may move to her to changing her mind. She would miss Claire so bad and couldn’t even deny that. Not just Claire, but the room, the food, the companionship she didn’t have even if it wasn’t a great one from everyone. Lastly, she would miss Dario. As crazy as that sounded, she knew she would miss him. Today was the day she had to meet Amelia in the garden at noon and she was ready. Marissa had packed lightly and with the help of the creature, she knew what and what to pack for the journey ahead. She knew she was taking a big risk not having any mon

Marissa's Escape

“She probably just went out for a walk. Please calm down”. James said to pacify Dario who was panting and walking in circles, trying to be patient and not jump to conclusions but his heart could not help it. “It’s been hours James. Don’t tell me that”. Dario said to James in a dangerously low tone that had James shutting his mouth with his hands in the air in surrender. Deep inside of him he knew that something was up because he kept thinking about that hug. She let him hug her for longer than she should and as great as it was, it felt like a goodbye. Running like an arrow through the wind, Dario got to the garden to check on the vines. Those vines would be the make or break moment because he knew that if they were not present at the locations he placed them, that meant Marissa had kept her promise to leave him. The thought already making his heart beat erratically. His first location were the greenery behind the window of her room. He got there and saw the vines he placed there

The Giant Gorilla

Marissa’s P.O.VI’ve been running and running for days now. The monsters are everywhere. Exhaustion is creeping in like a parasite, eating me up minute by minute. I knew it would be hard but I never anticipated it’ll be this hard, but I was still thankful. Thankful that I did not leave before I got my powers because I would’ve been dead an hour after I left the pack house gardens. On that fateful day I left the pack, I went in the opposite direction than what Amelia proposed, knowing that she could never have my best interest at heart but instead, I fell into her trap. She intentionally told me to go the other way knowing I wouldn’t. The thought made me clench my teeth as I ran. It’s on sight whenever I see her again.I could not even tell what it was that was chasing me but it was fast, and I was too. I hadn’t even noticed that I had superspeed amongst all other powers which was very strange as it was not one of the powers I should have but it came in handy and I was so gratef

Dario

Dario’s P.O.VI can’t sleep, I can’t eat, I can’t think, I can’t even remember the last time I washed up. I miss her so much that my heart feels like it’s failing. I’m sure my people would be so disappointed and my enemies may be saying;“How the mighty have fallen”. All my life, I had been around mates and saw how deep their affection was, but for some reason I thought I was more sensible, that I would be different. I even called them fools and horn dogs due to how dependent and vulnerable they were in the open with their mates, but here I am. I fully understand them now. The saying; “you don’t know what you have until it’s gone” was the truest thing. So many what if’s were running through my mind as I wallowed in self pity.“What if I just showed her how much I loved her?”“What if I had just acted as her mate and not just a king, she may have stayed”“What if I had not locked her up without even listening to what she had to say?”“What if I had just left the throne once I fou

The Dream

Marissa’s P.O.VIt’s been 7 days now in this hell of a place. It was a maze that had no way out. I have fought so many creatures, most of which I believed only existed in books and fairytales. A giant gorilla, a goblin, a werewolf, and even a fairy. The wind, the sky, the trees, and pain had become the new normal for me. It was so crazy that I could not remember the last time I rested for an hour. The exhaustion was creeping up on me fast but was not as fast as the creatures that all seemed to find me like I was a magnet that attracted them to me. I was hurt, tired, angry, annoyed and scared all at the same time. A part of me hoped to be saved by Dario but I also knew deep down that it would take massive effort, and was almost impossible to find me in this maze. I had levitated as high as I could about a day ago to see through the forest, on the best route to take in order to escape this hell but all I saw were trees and trees for miles and miles away. The sight brought tears
