Betrothed To The Rogue King   Silver lining
Finally, there was a hissing sound, and the doors started to open. We shielded our eyes from the bright light, and I felt tears streaming down my face at the flood of relief that wrapped its arms around my tired body. "Are you all okay?" A man asked, helping us out of the elevator one after the other. "Yes, yes, we're fine," I said, still shaking from the entire experience. I was not exactly sure how I felt, because somehow, my secrets were still hanging over my neck like a five hundred pound metal cross, dragging me down with everything I had and I was. After stepping out onto the floor, I watched Glenn, Mila, Ellen, Martha and Sophia hug each other tightly, grateful to be alive and out of that cramped, dark space. I refused to be folded into the group hug. I still wanted to be away from the girls for some time. As we walked away from the elevator, I could not help but feel a tiny sense of gratefulness for the experience. It had taught me a valuable lesson about the importance of

Sleeping next to Attus, I woke up bright and early and realized that I did not have a single nightmare all through the night. As I sat up next to him, I yawned, stretched, and then looked over at him. I watched him sleep peacefully with his hair blown all over his face. I reached out tentatively and gently pushed his hair away from his face and behind his left ear with my fingertips. He turned in his sleep, mouthing some unintelligible words, and I pulled my hand away abruptly. I smiled to myself as I got out from under the covers. I walked languidly over to the window in my big night shirt and my old lady underwear, to peek out of it. It was still so early that the moon was still very visible in the sky. I smiled again as I refused to check the time. I just knew from the greyish blue tinge of the sky, that it would soon be the dawn of a dark, gloomy and rainy day. The winds had slowly started picking up even. I walked over to the kitchenette, and started to make pancakes. It was n

When Attus opened the door, a strong masculine arm shoved him so hard that he fell backwards on his butts. I was angry, afraid and bewildered as I picked the item closest to me, wielding it as a weapon as I slowly walked towards the door. Before I got to the door, the owner of the strong arms stepped into the apartment and slammed the door shut behind him."Xavier…" I gasped, intending for it to have come out as a question, only to he so overwhelmed that it came out as anything but a question. "Why do you look shocked, you bloody slut?" The Alpha King snarled as he walked menacingly towards me. I should have moved away or tried to run even though it would have been no use, but I stood there, frozen in place and unable to take a single step. Through my peripheral vision while my eyes were strictly trained on the Alpha King's, I noticed Attus get up from the floor and walk up towards the Alpha King. Attus reached him before he got to the me and tapped him harshly on the back. I watch
Betrothed To The Rogue King   In his arm
The Alpha King looked up to me with softness in his eyes. He looked exactly like I always wanted him to look when he was with me. No fights, no guards or walls up, no defenses, just soft and sweet and fresh. Free from the chains and traumas of the past. "You love him!" The Alpha King said in a deeply hurt and strangled voice. I paused, taken aback by the suddenness and intensity of his words. I had always wondered if the Alpha King had feelings for me, but I had never expected him to confront me like this."I do," I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper. "But it's not like that, I swear. I never meant to hurt you."The Alpha King's eyes darkened, and for a moment, I thought he was going to lash out at me. But instead, he took a deep breath and composed himself."I understand," he said, his voice still strained. "I can't force you to love me, but I hope you know that I will always care for you. You are important to me, and I want you to be happy, even if it's not with me."I felt

And because I insisted, the Alpha King checked us into a grand hotel for the rest of the week. I called Attus several times, texted him, sent emails and snaps. I did all of it, but he still would not reply to any of my messages or pick up my calls. He went completely MIA. I eventually had to beg the Alpha King to call the Castle to ascertain if he was there. But to our chagrin, he was not there. "Why do you ask? Is he not with you?" Attus's mother asked, sounding a bit concerned. The Alpha King froze, and I had to tap him to make up something. "Hello… Are you there?" She was calling out over and over again. "Oh no, Ma. He's perfectly fine, and with me. I just called because his phone battery must have died and he did say that he misses you." He lied weirdly. She sounded not convinced for a bit, then most likely shrugged and ended the call. "Are you that bad at dealing with crisis or…?" I asked, gesticulating in optimum confusion.The Alpha King rolled his eyes at me. "I'm not used

And as I turned to walk back inside, I knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, I would face them with courage and determination, and with the knowledge that I was not alone. For I had Attus and the Alpha King by my side, and together, we were strong enough to face anything. The last day for collection of the Academy certificates, the Alpha King drove me to the academy and waited outside in the car while I went in. Unlike I had planned, because Attus had still been missing then, I had not had the luxury of time to talk with Glenn, Mila, Sophia and Martha. "I'm so sorry, girls. I can't stay. Attus is in trouble, and I have to help Xavier find him… It's a hot plate of agony right now, but it will definitely get better. I am so sorry." I explained sadly as the girls stood to hug me. "Let's go, Martha," I said. "But after this, it is done, Clara. We won't get to see each other probably ever again. We all live so far away and Luna duties are no joke." Glenn said, pouting sadly wit

"I was wondering, Baby, do you want to invite your parents over for your wedding?" the Alpha suddenly asked me out of nowhere. I looked at him with a blank look on my face. "I… I didn't know that it was possible to… To invite them."I replied, feeling sweaty in my underarms and very uncomfortable. If they had withdrawn Becky from school because of me, what was to say that they would not destroy me or at least try if I exposed my location to them. "If you are not comfortable inviting them, that's perfectly fine too. Even though you really have not told me how you ended with Ethan, that bloody swine!" The anger on the Alpha King's face deeply confused me. Was he angry on my account or based on his personal vendetta with him. "The Rogue King?" I asked, stupidly swallowing every two seconds. I could not believe my fate. I was still very unsure whether or not to divulge my parents' wickedness to the world. I felt too ashamed by what my parents had done to me, and I felt like it was my fa
Betrothed To The Rogue King   Disclosed
"You signed an NDA? To not disclose what? The details of your courtship and marriage to X? Is that not a little too much?" Attus asked with his eyes squinted and trained on me. "Oh well… HeHe is the Alpha King. It is important that certain aspects of his life like yeh details of his love life, don't make it to the eyes and ears of the public. It's damage control from the get go if you ask me. I buy the idea actually." I said not entirely in defense of the Alpha King, but because I actually understood his reason behind the decision. Attus gave me a weird look and then shrugged." Well, if you are the one in it and you are comfortable, who am I to have a problem with it." And he starts walking away again. I followed him speedily. "Stop this, Attus! You are Attus. You are my friend and you are very important to me. What you think, how you think, that you even think, is of utmost importance to me. So please, let us just get past this and make up." I paused to look at him. "Please…" I be
