Hi guys, I'm feeling better now. I will upload more chapters soon.
Julian’s POVMy phone rang beside me, and I picked it up, frowning at the caller ID. Onyx? Why did he pick such an unfortunate time to call me?I answered the call before it dropped, placing it against my ear. “What?”“Hey, Julian. It’s been quite a while,” he greeted, his voice was friendly, easing my irritation.“Yeah…I’ve been busy,” I didn’t even try to force any cheer or happiness into my voice, I couldn’t. I was annoyed and frustrated, and that was how I would express myself.“I guess so. What’s going on between you guys and Karyna? I saw the news, and I was incredibly shocked. With how close she was with you guys…” he drawled.I gritted my teeth, fighting the urge to end the call as he continued. “My biggest surprise is who she’s marrying,”That caught my attention immediately, as my anger immediately turned into curiosity. “What do you mean?”“Wait, you don’t know him?” His tone held disbelief and shock. “Adam Caldwell is a werewolf. He's a notorious rogue even though he's a
Karyna’s POVI didn't know how long it had been since I was kidnapped. All I knew was that day faded into night, several hours ticked by, and it made me incredibly restless and depressed.I’d also been awfully nauseous and bloated lately, but that was the least of my problems.Thankfully, they had long released me from the chair. They also let me to wander the space that I was locked in. The house was made of a wooden structure, like a cottage.I wasn’t allowed to access or use my phone for obvious reasons, and it made me really angry. Although I was provided everything I wanted, I was completely cut out from the outside world, and there was nothing I could do about it.I sighed heavily, adjusting the strap of my bathing suit before diving into the warm water.The house boasted a built-in pool in the backyard, and with boredom gnawing at me and my mind clouded with dark thoughts, a swim seemed like the perfect distraction.Submerging my body underwater for a bit, I could feel my he
Julian’s POVIt was the day of Karyna’s wedding.Or it would be, if I didn’t intend to steal the bride. The past week, I spent time researching and going over my findings on Adam Caldwell, the man who was delusional enough to believe he could marry my woman. Thanks to Ryder, I found out that Adam and Venom were in cahoots with each other, dealing with business together. I was shocked when I found out too, but it made sense. After all, Venom was a slimy sack of shit. Why wouldn’t he work with a filthy rogue?Apparently, it was Adam who bought my designs from Venom. He paid back with gold bars because his company was already manufacturing the clothes. The gold bars were the ones that Venom had given me, and that I had gifted to Karyna.Not only that. Ryder also discovered that Adam was the one who caused Henri’s accident, believing that it was me.The security footage revealed his presence in the same club where Karyna and I first met. From then on, he had been closely monitoring m
Karyna’s POVI stared blankly at myself in the mirror, standing stiffly as the staff were trying to do some last-minute adjustments on my dress and some finishing retouches on my makeup.I could only let myself be picked and prodded upon like a doll, not really caring. I looked beautiful, I would not deny the truth. I had on a full face of makeup, that made me look light and dainty. The olive green around my eyes helped to add a pop of color to my skin.My hair was styled back tightly into an intricate bun that was held down with a lot of Bobby pins and Got2b spray, and a Tiara sat nicely on my hair, also holding the veil in place.The dress itself, was a gorgeous white ball gown, with endless tule down the bottom. It was perfectly tailored for my body, with crystals at the bust and shiny fabric downwards. And the train was limitless. The dress looked like it was made for a Royal Princess. I would have been pleased to wear it, if today wasn’t the worst day of my life, and I was no
Karyna’s POVI walked down the aisle, staring ahead dully. My arm was firmly clasped in the crook of my father’s arm, and to anyone, it might have looked like a loving father leading his daughter off for marriage, but the way he gripped me so tightly was nearly painful. Like a threat.I ignored the guests who were smiling and looking at me with awe and joy, and focused on Adam instead. He was dressed in an expensive black, tailored Armani suit and pants, with sleek black dress shoes.His surfer blonde hair was styled to perfection, and there was a blue corsage on his suit.The procession was painfully long, and the wedding was huge, agitating me a little. The guests seemed to be over a hundred, but my Dad made sure not to let any News outlet in here or paparazzi. It was heavily guarded.Probably because he was worried that I might act up and cause a scene. Speaking of guests, I caught a glimpse of Sophia and her parents and immediately turned my gaze. I didn’t want to look at her d
Julian’s POVI kept my eyes focused on the road, the tension in the car was palpable, that it was nearly choking. I stole glances at Karyna from time to time, noticing the unchanged expression of shock and sadness etched on her face. She seemed drained, like a mere shadow of her former self.It pained me to see her in such a state, knowing all that she had endured over the past weeks. From being abducted by her own father to being coerced into a marriage with a psychopath, and now facing the abduction of her best friend, she had been through hell and back.Feeling powerless to alleviate her suffering, I remained silent, unsure of how to offer comfort in the face of such overwhelming misfortune.I felt a lot of pain on her behalf, and I was overall delighted that she was now with me. I believe she would appreciate being given some time to gather her thoughts. For now, I would focus on getting us to safety, where her father wouldn’t dare find us, not to talk about reaching us.It was
Karyna’s POV My eyes widened in shock. My heart nearly leaped out of my throat in shock at the gruesome scene in front of me. Julian had just…cut off… Oh, I'm gonna puke. He casually severed a penis like it was a carrot! His cousin was screaming in pain, the sound rattling through my skull like a broken record. The girl with him on the other hand, could hardly maintain her composure as I did, screeching the house down and running away, with her tail tucked in between her legs. I’ve never witnessed anything more gruesome in my entire life. I thought back to everything I had experienced recently, but this completely broke the record. It was not only the scene in front of me that terrified me, but also the look on Julian’s face. It was cold and void of emotion. Dangerous. Not even Hunter, the leader of those kidnappers could compare to the dark, oppressive aura I was sensing from him. Aren’t they cousins? I mean, I heard him introduce “Henri” as his “cousin” So why co
Julian’s POV When I caught sight of Karyna’s eyes rolling to the back of her head, I rushed and caught her body before she could collapse on the floor. She was in my arms when the girl at the entrance returned with the key to my beach house. “Everything is rearranged, Alpha. I have also ordered the kitchen to prepare food for you and your guest.” She reported, and I nodded as the cleaning team came to clean up the mess. I carried Karyna in a bridal style until we got to the building. I held her in my arms, watching her unconscious state as I climbed up the stairs to the bedroom. Why hasn't she woken up yet? The last time she fainted, she didn't use up to 5 minutes before she woke up. I sighed, locking the door behind me, and placing her on the huge bed. My eyes darkened with worry as I swept her dark, brown hair to the side, staring down at her beautiful, pale face. “She must be dehydrated, I need to get her some water,” I muttered to myself, lifting myself off the be
