DARIUS ALFONSO.My mind went blank for a moment when I felt the stung on my cheek, not expecting this reaction from her.“What the hell do you think you have done?” I snarled in a low, dangerous tone, grabbing her wrist in a tight grip.“It’s your fault for speaking those vacuous statements about me.” She growled, yanking her wrists away from me.“You-” I opened my mouth to express my rage but I paused when I witnessed her posture.Her lips were shaky, her eyes were disheartened accompanied by a heavy breath. I couldn’t grasp the depth but it was certainly the remark I made.‘Did it hurt her that much?’ I thought vaguely.“You have chosen a depraved path yourself, you are selling your damn body.” I breathed out, enhancing her rage. “It is you who is letting him to touch you, to fuck you-” Mindlessly, I was about to create insensitive points about her but she put her hand in between to stop me.“Enough, Darius!” She yelled, indicating to me with her sorrowful gaze to stop.Staring
ATHENA BECKER.‘Seems like you put this bewitching body to a good use by being the King’s pet.’His unwanted words were echoing in my ears, invoking a sting I never fathomed I could gain anymore.Those words pierced my heart. “Fuck!” Cursing under my breath, I slammed my hand on the pillar.Did he mean those words? Was that to hurt me or his real perspective? No matter what it was, it was painful and it enhanced my cravenness for revenge. I wanted my actions to penetrate his soul, to ravage him. I wanted him to suffer.“Damn you!” Hissing, I curled my hands in a fist, pacing around until footsteps approached and Jax came with an arched eyebrow.“Are you alright….?” He asked vaguely. “Do I look like it?” I snarled with a clenched jaw, my pride was hurt. “I didn’t expect My Lord to come and command that, he went too far to sting your scars.” He sighed at my frustration.“He shouldn’t have done it.” Leaning on the pillar, he gave me a sympathetic smile but we all knew, we abided b
I was humming to myself in the training grounds, passing my time with training until Jax came, snapping his fingers to get my attention.“Athena. Go and hunt down Jared from White Wolves pack. He had gone rogue.” He came, standing behind me, grabbing a ball and throwing it in the air.“Dead or alive?” I asked calmly, merely focused on my target.Releasing my arrow as it pierced through the ball and burst it as I smirked at my precision. “Preferably dead.” He hummed to praise my timing and strength. Lowering my bow, I nodded, “Understood.” “You know where to find him. Do you think you can do that?” He asked hesitantly.Jared was near Darius and he was worried that I might not get swayed.“Personal feelings and vengeance aside, I have a responsibility to fulfill, Jax.” I sighed.Grabbing my arrows and other weapons, securing them around me to uphold my dominant posture. I am the Red Huntress after all.“Good. Now go.” He smiled, giving my shoulder a pat to encourage me. “Yeah, yea
DARIUS ALFONSO. It was night, a sting constantly brimming in my chest and I failed to shrug that off. I felt distressed, almost disturbed and nothing was helping me. To release my mind, I walked away until Mother called me. “Where are you going?” Sighing, I glanced at the blurry sky filled with thick clouds. “To clear my mind.” “From Blue?” She asked again, coming closer but I remained silent. “Or from Athena?” I was astounded at her question, mouth gaping as I questioned myself too. I was losing my grip on my identity. “To pray.” Curling my hands in a fist, I left for the waterfall near my place to go there and revive my memories. The place where I took her first kiss. The place where I prayed. The second I reached there I saw Azure there, in her usual graceful form. Standing at the water with her mysterious eyes, touching the water, allowing it to drench her fingers, lost in pondering. “Azure.” I called her dominantly, approaching her furiously, curling my hands i
The next day, after my unwanted and unbearable confrontation with Athena where she told me words I couldn’t bear. Words that not only outraged me… But they also hurt me. And with that sensation, she made my determination more firm. I wouldn’t let it slide this easily. “Are you sure about it, Alpha? If we got caught, we would be in trouble.” Julius asked, worried about my state. With a scowling lingering on my face, I nodded. “Of course. No one will find out, she won’t be able to tell anyone nor will I let it.” I hissed, resolved dripping from my words. “What if you couldn’t hurt her?” He asked hesitantly. “Why would my hands tremble? She killed my Luna.” I hissed. Pacing around, holding my sides but not allowing it to falter my determination. “Really, are you sure?” He asked again, noticing the scowl lingering on my face. “Hundred percent. If she thinks I would let Blue death’s slide, then she is terribly wrong.” I growled. Everyone thought that for the sake of old times, I
ATHENA BECKER. Standing on top of the rooftop of our castle, from the sight of our bewitching land, Sapphire Crest was clear. Scanning around the place, I saw his pack moving out of their place. “Oh, so you are truly leaving, hmm?” I spoke to myself. “And are you sure about letting him go?” King Hadrian asked nonchalantly, inspecting my face. “Who am I to stop him? Let him go wherever he wants.” I shrugged my shoulders calmly, not bothering myself too much with it. “Where is he going by the way?” I asked curiously. “He placed the condition to not tell you.” He smirked, folding his arms at his chest, watching Darius’ pack moving out. “Hmm. Fair enough.” I hummed. “What are you going to do now? Are you going to let him go?” He asked again, he was thrilled to know what I would do when he wouldn’t be here anymore. “Sure why not? Allow him to escape this arena and besides… It’s his move.” My smirk grew dark, informing him about Darius’ intentions. After being with him, I k
Time passed in the blink of an eye when he was no longer there.The second he left, time and my surroundings stopped and before it knew it, three months in this hibernating state.Nothing happened, he left without a trace, I was solely focused on my work, waiting for any action from him while preparing for my next move as well. After coming back from the survey, I was in the training grounds. Leaning against the pillar, I was lost in my ponderings until Jax came.“Hey. Good work today.” He smiled, leaning against the other pillar with his arms closed as well. “Hey.” I smiled back and went back to my trail of unwanted thoughts. Thoughts that were gradually turning me void and pricking me constantly. “This is awfully quiet. Don’t you think so?” Jax asked with a long exhale to get my attention.He brought the topic to bring me out from my ponderings and focus on what was happening and not on what happened.“Hmm. I agree. Something feels seriously off.” Turning to him, I nodded in a
Darkness.All I could feel and see was a pitch-darkness around me. My body throbbed in pain, my mind was blank for the time being, hoping to contemplate what happened.“Argh…”Groaning in pain, I endeavored to shift and sit up but I soon realized my hands were tied behind my back along with a fetter on my ankle. When the realization that I was chained in this room with pure darkness around me sank in, my eyes fluttered open.“What the- where am I?” Gasping for air, I blinked to clear my vision but the room was too dark for me to see. The room felt empty, I tried to shift but my body was weak.“Hello!?” I yelled, calling someone to listen or reveal its face to me.Someone must have drugged my body so that I couldn’t move or escape for the time being. “Is anyone there?!” Turning here and there to search for any source of light but my body was unable to move- let alone to sit up and grab my surroundings.“Fuck…” Cursing under my breath, I grit my teeth to calm down for the time bein
