Elijah woke up to the chirping of birds and something soft pressed against his front. He opened his eyes and met with the most beautiful sight in the world. Her long and lush lashes rested comfortably against her cheeks. Her pink swollen lips were slightly parted. His one arm was draped around her naked waist. He let his fingers caress the dip of her waist. Her skin was soft like dough. He was afraid it would tear off if he pulled a little roughly. He pinched her waist, earning a moan from her. A soft smile fell on his lips. He shifted closer to grip a piece of her hair and gently tucked it behind her ear. Her tender, delicate beauty could charm anyone into committing sin. His lips curved into a soft smile when he heard her soft snoring. Such a cute kitten.
But the smile quickly dissipated as the realization hit him. His first reaction was to look down. Fortunately, they both were clothed. His heart sank when he took notice of bite marks on her neck. That mark was a cle
The river was raging fiercely. Anyone could get easily drowned in the powerful current of the river and never be found. His face blanched when the ralisation dawned upon him. Without thinking twice, he jumped off the cliff and into the water. The icy water pricked at his skin as he felt himself going deeper into the water. He pushed himself up the moment his feet touched the floor bed of the river to swim to the surface. He emerged from the water and looked around. She was nowhere to be found. His heart sank to the pit of his stomach. All he could see was furious waves of water. He swam through the water in search of her. "Sabrina," he hollered her name while fighting the fierce waves."Sabrina," no answer came. The anxiety was clear in his eyes. He had started to lose hope when his eyes caught on a piece of green cloth flowing in the opposite direction. He turned towards it and started swimming after that while calling her name from the top of his lungs. Her blond locks were float
Sabrina was giddy with happiness. She twirled and danced joyously. Finaly she got some alone time with him. How she wished they remained lost in here for the rest of thir lives. She didn't mind spending her whole life here but what she couldn't even dare imagine was a life without him. She was dancing o her own rhythm when something pricked the sole of her foot. She yelped loudly and fll to her knee. All her life, she had been treated as a doll. She wasn't used to pain. Tears formed in her eyes. She slowly upturned her feet and found a big thorn piercing her skin. Blood oozed profusely from the cut. She tried to pull it out with shaky hands but couldn't. "What happened?" he asked between his pants.She looked up to find Eijah standing a few steps away from her. His face was a mask of worry. "I heard your scream. Is every thing nalright?" he walked over to her in two large strides. She stared at him with her teary eyes. "My feet," she snivelled and looked down at her bleeding feet
His eyes shot open, startling her. Her eyes widened in surprise and she paused staring stupidly at him. "What are you doing?" he asked, furrowing his brows at her. She leaned back quicker than a bolt of lightning. "I..I.." she groped for words while glancing everywhere but at him but nothing was coming to her mind. The dent between his brows deepened, frightening her a little more. "I.. I wasn't able to sleep so..I thought of counting your beard?" she blinked her eyes innocently at him, hoping he would buy it. The excuse sounded lame to her own ear. "What?" he asked, not sure what he hard was right."Yes, I had counted till 103. You have three white hair as well. You are growing old," she told him. The word "old " offended him as nothing could. "I am not getting old," he shot back indignantly. A teasing smile glided along her lips, knowing what she said had got to him. "Yes, you are," she teased him."I am only 27," he said. She gasped. Her mate was nine years older than her. A
Sabrina had never experienced heartache before. She didn't know what hurt felt like. She remembered back when she was just a little girl, she wanted to go out and play with kids of her age but her mother prohibited her, for one because she was much higher in class and secondly because the sun could darken her fair skin. Her beauty was as important as her manners and studies. Everything about her was important except her own will. She was treated like a doll, not a human. No matter how much she insisted, her mother didn't let up. She thought she was hurt that day but she was wrong because nothing she had ever experienced before came close to what she was feeling at that moment. Right now, her heart was threatening to break into million pieces. The burn inside her chest was brutal. Her mate didn't want her, what could be more tragic than this. They continued to walk in an unknown direction. Elijah kept his focus on the path ahead. Sabrina halted in her steps when a shadow passe
Sabrina ran mindlessly into the woods. She was missing her family so much. The salty tears continued to fall down her eyes and mix up with the raindrops hitting her face. The rain had intensified, slapping furiously against the leaves. In a matter of minutes, she was soaked completely but she didn't care a bit. Her heart was hurting so bad..so bad that it was getting difficult for her to breathe. The heaviness atop her chest had doubled. How easily he called her selfish. His voice didn't even waiver when he rejected her. In a way, he had rejected her. She couldn't even reject him as his wolf still hadn't appeared, talk about bad luck. Her wolf shared the same agony as her. His words had struck her down hard. "Sabrina, stop," a hand wrapped around her wrist and swiftly wheeled her around. "Where in heaven's name are you off to?" he yelled harshly at her. That brought more tears to her eyes. The cloud rumbled loudly as if reprimanding him for hurting the pure soul. With her meager at
Sabrina felt herself being roughly shoved against the cave wall as the mountain of a man continued to raid her mouth. He wrapped a large hand around her throat and deepened the kiss. He squeezed her throat just enough to warn her off. A whimper rose up to her throat but got lost in his mouth. She tried to push him away but he pushed back and pressed their body together. His hard chest mercilessly crushed her soft breasts. Saliva dripped down their entwined tongue and slobbered over her chest as he continued to force her tongue to mate with his. There was nothing gentlemanly in the way he was eating her mouth. In fact, it was full of greed, wrath, and want. No one could have reconciled this man with the Elijah people knew. This man was hungry and enraged unlike the usual calm and indifferent royal commander. Sabrina had started to feel lightheaded. In desperation, she clawed at his chest, causing blood to spill out, not aware her futile fight was only turning him even more. He let out
Sabrina was wide awake the whole night. Her mind was occupied with one person. The last night Elijah had shown her a completely different side of his. And she would lie if she said it didn't scare her. Who could have guessed the always so reserved warrior was a control freak. It was frightening but so appealing. She believed his dominating side was his real side. It wasn't inculcated in him, it came naturally to him. Men like him are born to rule not obey. She wasn't much experienced in royal business nor did she know anything about Cyrus but she was certain of one thing no one deserved the throne as much as Elijah did. He was a true-born King. Calm and lethal both. The morning crept on her not long before. Elijah returned only when the sun had risen on the horizon. Her heart jumped a beat when she saw him entering the cave. He looked so worn out. She noticed he had also brought some fruits for her. Without saying a word, he placed them next to her. Sabrina took note of bloody bruise
Sabrina and Elijah had utterly different lives. She was treated as a fragile flower, whereas he burned like coal to become unbreakable. People looked up at her with hope and joy, he was used to seeing pity in people's eyes. She knew she was born to be a queen and he was nothing more than just an omega. Her wolf was a blessing, his wolf was just a far-fetched dream. And yet, Sabrina was ready to sacrifice every privilege, every title for him. Sabrina stayed quiet. She didn't want to put any pressure on him. She wanted him to know she was here to listen to him but won't force him into revealing his secrets to her. That was another thing she badly wanted to become a part of all his mysteries and secrets. Elijah swallowed back his hesitation with great difficulty. Sabrina could see how difficult was it for him to open up. Since childhood, he was trained to be a machine made to kill. He had lost his emotions in the process. Elijah hadn't even told her much yet and her heart ha
