But he never doubted her, never doubted her loyalty; infact he trusted her with his life. Why else had he killed for her? Something he had never done in his entire lifetime.He watched her get famous but yet still remain loyal to him, it intensified the feelings he had for her until she began to notice. He tried once, tried to love someone else, tried to notice other women but hard as he tried, he couldn't, he just couldn't find the home, the peace he was looking for in their eyes; they were all strangers.And so he stopped fighting and just let the feelings take over, overwhelm him until he didn't care if it killed him; all that mattered was that she loved him too.But what kind of love was it that prevented them from ever being together?•Julien's eyes popped open, bright and early the next morning. He said thanks to the God he knew existed then got up. He had a meeting with Cicero to prepare for.It ended successfully. The next two days, he had the auditions.The cast were few; mo
A month later,"The pack has fully undergone construction, mum. I think it's time you convince the rest to stop deceiving themselves and just return home.""You used to be one of them." Othelia laughed over the phone."I know, right" Vince chuckled, walking home, "but Alpha Lorenzo is cool and he has truly changed. I mean, he's teaching me to play basketball and I'm getting less bitter about dad's death.""That's nice, really nice. You were usually an angry man, mad over everything. It's nice that you're seeing life in a new way.""Mum" He groaned."My observation." She laughed in reply. He sighed."The pack looks very beautiful, you should see it. I've picked out our house already, it's the best among others.""Vince!"They laughed."But seriously mum, convince them. We're only delaying Alpha Lorenzo and Raphaela from getting officially mated, they...""What!?" Othelia exclaimed, "aren't they siblings!?"Vince chuckled at his mother's incredulity, "yeah but not blood siblings. They f
"I'm tired."She stared blankly at him but inside her heart was in broken pieces. How badly had he been hurting all these while, while she played heroine in Julien's film."I'm tired of everything. I'm tired of trying to correct my past mistakes, I'm tired of trying to change, I'm tired of trying to be good enough, I'm tired of seeing you wait for me so patiently because you trust me so much, I'm tired of myself, I'm tired of my life, I'm..."His voice was broken and each word, like a broken chard pierced her heart deeply. This wasn't Lorenzo, this wasn't the man who would burn the world to do whatever he thought was right, this wasn't the man who stayed sane even when the whole world was against him, this wasn't the man that loved his pack even when they repeatedly tried to kill him."This isn't you." She whispered hoarsely, her vision blinded by tears, "this isn't you."His cheeks trembled in her palms, the tears streaming down continuously. He looked terrible, miserable, tired."I
Raphaela awoke to the appetizing smell of noodles. She sat up, realizing she was on the sofa."I'm sor... I didn't want you far away from me that's why I left you on the sofa. Are you uncomfortable?"Lorenzo came into her line of vision, carrying a tray on which were two bowls of steaming noodles."No. Vince?""Still asleep.""How long have I been asleep?" She asked, her eyes drifting to the wall clock."Thirty minutes." He answered the same time her eyes found the clock.He dragged a stool and sat in front of her. She reached out a hand and arranged his messy hair. He looked really tired but much better than before she fell asleep."How are you?" She asked almost in a whisper.He kissed her hand, "better."He placed the tray on her lap."I'll feed you." She stated bossily.He smiled, his eyes fixed on her."You look beautiful." He complimented, his voice a bit hoarse.She snorted, rolling noodles round a fork"Beautifully ugly."He chuckled, taking the bite she offered him."Let's fo
Hours later,Getting to the pack house, he marched in. He wasn't the same, he wasn't the former Lorenzo that was hard and cruel and ruled with an iron fist but he also wasn't the Lorenzo that could be pushed around, trampled upon and ignored; he was Lorenzo, the Alpha, the King and he intended to remain so."I want everyone out now!" He bellowed, standing at the entrance.His voice resounded through the large hollow house, penetrated every nook and cranny and echoed on the walls.The fourteen remaining pack members couldn't stop their feet from rushing to answer the command of their Alpha; Choco and Valerie, Vince's twin siblings were with Antonio and Valentina.It had been a long time coming, it had been so long since they had felt such power rushing through their veins, filling their heads and blinding their senses to obey it's powerful command.They soon all stood at attention in the large hallway, their hearts racing with adrenaline. They had forgotten. They had forgotten it all,
The mood of everyone on set of 'A Forbidden Fairytale' was a mixture of happy and sad. Happy in that they had completed filming successfully and they could move on to editing and other necessities, sad in that the fifteen episodes film had ended on a sad note. It didn't help that Raphaela and the director and male lead were excellent actors, it didn't help that most scenes in the episodes made their eyes wet with tears, it didn't help that the script seemed too real.Raphaela hugged each of her fellow actors and actresses, also the rest of the crew. After she had worn herself out with all the farewell and greetings and having to give a reasonable excuse why she couldn't attend their dinners and events and feature in any other film or movie, she finally was able to say farewell to Cicero."Raphaela" He beamed, though a bit sad as he hugged her."Thank you." She appreciated sincerely as they pulled apart."Thank you too."She nodded, taking a step back."You wouldn't be opportuned to wo
Julien wasted no time in following her, hopping in his car and speeding after the dust she left behind. He was following her but all of a sudden, her car was no where to be seen, not at all. In his confusion and worry, he suddenly remembered. They had installed trackers in the cars, all the cast and crew, just in case one got lost in the strange filming location.He switched on the GPS tracker and almost hit the blue car in front of him out of shock. Raphaela's car was just in front of him, how on earth was she suddenly hundreds of miles away!? He restarted the GPS again, perhaps there was a malfunction but it still showed the same location. And what was she doing in the middle of nowhere? He suddenly remembered her last visit to him before the filming began, how she had vanished into thin air after speaking to him. He shook off his bewilderment and premonition and decided to go with his instincts, follow the GPS. But her current location was a bit far, miles away, he slammed the gas
Not only his existence but everything about him, everything about Julien Hugo wisped away; all the memories he created, all the works he performed, all news on him; slowly, from the minds of all those who ever knew him, ever saw him, ever worked with him, ever loved him.Cicero stood in the garden where they had completed filming some hours ago, a perplexed expression on his face. How was he several miles away from his home?"Director Cicero?" A bewildered voice called from behind.He turned to see an unfamiliar female face."Who are you?" He queried with barely concealed suspicion.The female blushed slightly out of embarrassment."I'm sorry, I'm Phillipa, an actress, you don't know me of course but I must say it's such an honour to finally see you in person. I...""What am I doing here?" He cut her off harshly.Phillipa paused, her mouth hanging open weirdly at the sharp interruption."I don't know" She quickly answered, "I just found myself here. It looks like we were shooting a mo
