Betrothed To The Rogue King   Pieces of pasts
"But two weeks before she was supposed to tell him that she was pregnant with his pup even though it belonged to a rogue, she had a miscarriage. And I naively thought that since she'd had a miscarriage, we would let bygones be bygones, and I would get back with my man. But no! Glenn had tasted wealth and she was not going to let go easily. Or at all, as I have now come to understand." Mila said in an accusatory tone. "But it will still benefit everyone right?" Sophia insisted, and Mila glanced angrily at her. I sighed deeply, "How did we even get to this point, where we are tearing each other apart with our words? How did it get so bad?" I asked sadly with downcast eyes. "Oh well, your self sabotage led us here." Martha said, and I turned to look at her. "But why, Martha? Why did you do it? Why did you lie to me?" I was trying desperately to find an excuse good enough for me to forgive Martha, because I had grown attached to her sweet and kind nature, or her facade of sweet, tende
Betrothed To The Rogue King   Breaking free
I had felt that talking about everything that we did, and making up, was going to be enough for Miss Angie, and that she would free us from the stuck elevator, but as the hours went by, I started to panic seriously. The space was starting to hem me in and stifle me. "When exactly will Miss Angie free us from this bondage? Is it when we all die from claustrophobia? The darkness in here is starting to really bother me…" I complained, feeling very bitter, and Ellen reached out and held my hand. "Miss Angie!" Martha screamed suddenly, "If you can hear us, please get us out of here. We have talked about everything we wanted to talk about and we're good now. Please… We're out of snacks, and I need to shower and change my tampon for fucks sake!" She said, kicking the walls of the elevator angrily. "Oh… Aunty Flo is in town… NoNo wonder you have been so cranky." Glenn said, and Martha rolled her eyes. She was apparently having a mood swing, and was not at all in the mood to smile or be fri

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

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
