" E–xcuse me?" Naina stuttered but the woman passed her a small smile that didn't still seem to calm Naina in any way." You look terrified. I'm sorry for scaring you," the old lady apologized. " I'm Zora, a worker at Escala hotels." She added. Naina knew the hotel, it was the hotel for the rich folks only." How may I help you?"" Not in anyway, Miss. Actually, someone sent me to give this to you. She didn't tell me who she was but she said you'd know her when you read the letter. She asked to give this to you." Zora said and Naina's brows raised with suspicion.By the "she" Zora kept referring the anonymous person as, she was already starting to suspect who it was. " I'd be leaving now. I'm running late."" Please hold on. Did she give this to you by herself?" " Yes, actually."" A blondie?" " Right." Zora nodded again and before Naina could say any other thing, she turned and left. Naina fixated her gaze to the letter and sighed, she was right. Estelle was fine and good somew
When Estelle opened her eyes that revealed the blur environment, her gaze firstly caught the figure that entered into the room and for something or whatever she didn't know, she immediately felt tied to the figure. A more surprised gasp escaped her lips when his eyes jammed with hers, the effect made her transfixed. He had an imposing figure. He was huge, really huge that his shadow towered greatly above her. Now, the air in the room had completely changed, it had thickened to the extent that it almost started to suffocate her, what was it about him? B...ut, he looked familiar too.Too much familiar that whatever it was, Estelle knew there was something about him, or maybe, something about them. Like she didn't like the toll he was taking on her, she slowly turned her face away from him. She even wondered how he must be feeling with the way she had stared so hard at him but she wasn't the only one staring. He was also giving her this deep stare she couldn't understand why." Este
" You also heard him say that, right? He knows he said that too." Estelle argued." Yes, he did."" Right? So why were y'all looking so shocked like it's something unusual?" She rolled her eyes while he only stared at her for a moment. It wasn't his usual gentle and adoring stare but this time, his eyes seemed to be searching.Neil never said that out at all and Estelle heard what he said. How? She was human and nothing else. " Quit staring at me now. It's getting too much." Estelle groaned." I could stare at you all day without getting tired." His deep voice were so damn low and were almost echoing into her ears, making her heart jump without her permission. Hold on...was she being possessed or something? She had just woken up in an unknown place that looked like heaven and coming face to face with a man and a few other people that looked like angels. Angels as he, Kaileyn and those two idiot that almost got her killed were so very strikingly beautiful like they were created on
Estelle only stared at him as he gently and at the same time, elegantly stirred the hot cup of coffee. She was feeling quite cold but he seemed completely unaffected by the weather's temperature.She knew his name now. River. What a perfect name for a perfect being like him. He was exactly how a river was, calm and soothing." I still don't know why I'm receiving such special treatment." She spoke up and he tilted his head towards her for awhile before returning his gaze back to the cup of coffee." Here," he said, handing the coffee cup over to her." I asked a question. Quit ignoring my question almost the whole time now, River." She groaned, throwing her hands up in the air." Just drink up. You're freezing."" Answer me." She demanded and he sighed. " Elle,"" What?" She pouted with a demanding look." I think an introduction is what we need first. I–"" I'm Estelle. Just a normal Estelle Mia Brown. I'm twenty five, and of course, single and maybe, trying to mingle." She said,
Dmitri looked back at her again all of a sudden but then, his eyes were back to their normal deep blue color that it was. He folded his head into Estelle's neck and started to whimper for a while while she only patted his head with a smile." It's fine, wolfy. You know, you're actually more cuter this way." She said and immediately, Dmitri raised his head up and gave a small howl that seemed like a howl of jubilation but in the next second, Alpha River was sitting in place of him and he didn't look too pleased." Woah." Estelle smiled." Yes. At least, you're going to believe me now and that's Dmitri, my wolf. I also heard you telling him how cute he is than I am, you wouldn't believe the amount of trolls I'm getting from him now." River said but Estelle was confused." I don't understand. Dmitri is a different person from you? You transformed to him, right? I just meant I prefer you in your wolfy form than this human form but now, you're making it seem like there are two people.""
*UNEDITED* " River?" The older woman walked in elegantly with a brilliant smile on her face while Kaileyn rolled her eyes, standing back. Her gaze were locked on Estelle angrily." Marianne." The Alpha called, now facing the woman who still had that brilliant, elegant smile on her face.Estelle marveled at the woman's beauty moved back a little, she was feeling quite nervous already. She'd start seeing so many people from now on anyways. She was still glancing at the beautiful older woman when her eyes fell on Kaileyn who immediately looked away. Estelle shook her head, something was wrong with that girl but unfortunately, it was none of her business. She knew Kaileyn kind liked River, it was obvious but it wasn't her fault their moon goddess chose her for River." I missed you so much." The woman smiled, sniffing as she hugged the Alpha who hugged her back tightly with a smile on his face. " You look so lean now, my child." Marianne sighed but her unhappy face was replaced with a s
When Elliot opened the large doors of the courtroom and made way for the Alpha to enter, the sudden silence was something to be written about. Some of the council members had their eyes opened so wide that it looked like they'd pop out anytime soon while others had their mouth so wide open that a folded fist would fit into them.They were just believing what they'd been hearing. For the past seven years, the Alpha hadn't changed a bit. He was still as agile, cold and angry looking at the sight of them. He even looked like he'd tear all of them to pieces at a given chance." Have y'all seen a ghost or something?" Neil scoffed, already annoyed at the men. He and Lair almost got in trouble for them just to fulfill their stupid hunger to see the Alpha with their own very eyes and, to gossip of course. Aside them been old or anything, the men in the council were chronic gossipers.What Neil said wasn't enough, he had to bang loudly on the desk beside him before everyone of them could st
In a completely dark room that was completely void of a single light, a man stood up from the bed with severe pain written all over his face. He didn't seem to let the pain deter him as he stood up and immediately left the room, the click sound of the door shutting close could be heard too.As he came out, he sighted a familiar back. " Marianne?" His throaty deep voice called and the distressed woman turned at the call of her name. " River?" Marianne sighed, running to the huge man. " You woke up quite late today. Still the same issue? It hasn't stopped yet?" She asked with an expectant look but the Alpha was quiet. Marianne sighed again as she glanced down at the unbuttoned shirt he wore and as expected, the vivid marks on his chest were there again. His eyes were hazy and very dim and Marianne already knew he was still fighting and fighting with whatsoever that was disturbing him, he was still fighting with that thing that she didn't know if it'd leave him alone soon or not.
