Hearing Arabella’s voice and what she said, I briefly turn towards her and then I hear the witch speaking again. As I turn around to face her, I see that she has turned the page and quickly starts speaking another spell. Her lips move like lightning and then I stop her suddenly when I rip out her tongue, by grasping it between my forefinger and thumb.
Horrified by this, she cries and tries to scream, but can’t. The whole thing is terrifying to watch and all the people in the room watching gasp before shielding their eyes from the black blood that seeps out of where her tongue was just a moment before. When she finally stops and stares at me, I hurry and tie her back up before rushing over to the pups.
On my way to Arabella, I look back and see the warlock trying to stand up. I yell to the guards, “Make sure they stay down, I will be back in a second. I need to make sure that the pups are alright before I continue.&r
“Dad.” I turn to see Tonya smile and then she starts dancing in her baby blue leotard and tutu on her tiptoes.She has the lead in the ballet tonight, and we are all dressed up in our suits and ball gowns. The pups are so much bigger now, they look like they are at least 6 years old. In their suits and dresses, they look like they are ready to take on the world.It’s amazing that just last year they were newborn pups and couldn’t even walk, let alone hold a conversation with an adult. Looking at them now, I think to myself, “Wow, they are smarter than I could possibly ever imagine. Every time I turn my back, the boys are getting into mischief, while the girls are learning everything, they can about the world around them.Tonya stops and then looks at her watch before declaring, “It’s time!” To all of us with great excitement as she bounces out the door to the car.I smile so pro
Tonight, is a stranger night than most, because the moon is set so low that it looks like you could touch it if you raised your hand into the air. It’s already so big that it looks a lot larger than it normally is, and in a few days, it will be a full moon. That full moon will be so huge that it will block out most of the night sky. What is even stranger, is the fact that it is extremely hot out for May and the air is so thick with moisture that everything feels slick as I sit in my reclining chair. I stare out the window with an odd feeling of anticipation running through me. Perhaps it is because I sense something not quite right tonight. Or because there is danger in the air, and it is almost explosive. With my eyes glued to the woods in front of me, I silently watch a fawn follow its mother through the clearing. Sitting forward a little in my chair to get a better look, I watch as both the mother and the fawn move further. When they do, they move so deliberately that they
Hearing the music from miles away, I know precisely where the rave is being held. It is already in full swing, and I just hope that we have gotten there early enough before the massacre has started. Driving past the woods, I see the clearing ahead and right away my senses go in overdrive when I smell the Alpha of The Wind Walkers pack, Jordan.When I don’t smell blood, I call it a good sign and start to drive as fast as I dare to before arriving at the destination. The minute I hit the open path, I signal to the others behind me and stop just before the old, abandoned building. The bright neon lights filter through the cracks in the walls and light up the hood of my truck before I ever get out.Motioning for the rest to stay put, I signal for Beta Daniel and Beta John to follow me first. Not knowing where the Wind Walkers are right at that moment, I’m cautious while creeping around in the dark shadows. As I hear the
Hearing someone yelling in the background, I look over at Alpha Conroy and Beta Dean before scanning the room to investigate. I have been patiently waiting all morning to call Arabella and was just about to, when I heard the commotion begin. Laying my eyes upon Omega Terence and Omega Shelley over by the far wall, I can tell at once that they are in a heated argument and that is where the yelling is coming from. “How dare you! You know that I had my heart set on that, and you just threw it out. Does whatever I feel mean nothing to you?” Shelley stares at Terence with tears in her eyes before stomping off. Noting that there is something terribly wrong, I stand up from my chair and walk over to Terence before whispering so no one else can hear but the two of us, “You need to fix whatever is wrong.” I stare down Terence to make sure he knows that I mean business and then after a few seconds, I take my eyes off him and co
After I pick her up and she fights me the whole way kicking and screaming, I take her to a room at the end of my hall and lock the door behind me so she can’t get out. This is the hard part. I must decide what to do with her now that she knows what we are. Can I trust her? Or will she go to the other humans and have us all hunted down? I was originally hoping that I could ease her into my confidence and then trust her with our secrets, but this may be all too sudden for her to ever be able to understand. So, as I shake my head in frustration, I sit in my chair and start yelling at Omega Tom because he just may have caused me the one thing, I have ever really desired in all my life. He started the fight between the two others and if he hadn’t, I would be sitting right now at the table eating dinner with her and watching as her eyes roll back in her head from delight. Slamming my fist down suddenly, everyone around me jumps and stare
“Thud” “Crash” Hearing a loud noise, I walk to her room quickly before taking in a deep breath and cautiously unlocking Arabella’s door with the key. As I open the door, I take stock of everything around me and am painfully obvious of how destructive of a woman she is. The pillows are shredded, the curtains are in piles all along the walls, and the minute I stare into her eyes, she comes running at me full force. “Damn you! You are so” She exclaims before she meets with my chest and is forced to stop in mid-sentence. I glance down at her eyes, before her heated gaze stares up at mine. Raising her closed fists to my chest, she starts to beat on me. Not caring if she hurts me, I let her pound away for a few minutes, till she seems to be all out of anger and then stops and closes her eyes before stating, “You are so cruel, you have to let me go. My parents will be worried, and they will call the cops. My fr
After leaving her room, I pace the halls for what seems like hours until my stomach starts grumbling. Realizing that she might be hungry too, I decide to bring her up a plate in the shape of a peace offering when I am done eating. Of course, I know damn well that the minute the door opens, she will try to rush out the door.Shaking my head, I think back to when things were a little less complicated. Perhaps I should have just left it alone and let The Wind Walkers massacre them, but then what kind of king would I be? I have never been the one to sit back and watch as someone else takes over. Unfortunately, now I have a bigger problem.As I walk down to the dining room, I think about my next move with Arabella. I know that this is all coming at the wrong time because The Wind Walkers are purposely trying to cause problems for me. Is there Alpha thinking of trying to take over? It is a good possibility, because there is alw
Just as soon as I close the door, she decides to place the book down on the desk next to her before picking up a glass from earlier in the day and lobbing it at me. “How dare you! I have been stuck in here without anything to eat and I am being treated like a prisoner.” She screams at me with fire in her eyes before picking up anything else she can find to throw at me. Shocked, I watch as she acts like a two-year-old now and flings everything within walking distance at me, even though three seconds earlier she was calm and collected. Dodging expertly, I demand, “Stop! Quit acting like a child.” Pausing, she glares at me only to return to her work of destroying everything in the room. “Wow. Really?” I shake my head and decide to leave because this simply won’t do. The minute I turn around to leave, she stops and then asks in a timid tone, “Would you please stay? I am sorry and I’m really hungry.” The look o
