The night was cold and so, I embraced myself as that was the only way I could shield myself from the cold. My lips began to quiver as well as because of the cold. The dungeon walls were not helping either as it seemed like it aided the cold.The moon reflected into the space I was and I stood up, realizing the full moon was out. Of course, I was so weak and tired but I gathered the little strength I had left in me to walk closer to the reflection of the moon in my space.A tear fell from my eyes as I knew I was finally paying for my Father’s crime. I had no idea whom the young man was but everything about him seemed familiar. Father had often returned home with a lot of scents when I was much younger. Scents of the body of his prey. Perhaps, Father had tried to kill him or something?I silently prayed to the moon goddess within me to help me out f the mess I had gotten myself into. I had left the house simply because I was fed up with all Father was doing and his cruelty. What then ha
The clanking sound of metal coupled with the early morning sun grazing my skin made me flicker my eyes open although my eyelids were still heavy and threatened to shut itself. I was not sure of what was going on as I still could not embrace reality. My head ached and so did every other part of my body. The bed was far from okay.It was far from comfortable and I really wanted to cuss at Father for making me go through such. If only he has been nice…. I held my head as I looked up at the stranger who was at the door. Utter displeasure was registered in his eyes as he stared at me like I had done something very terrible to him.“Here is your meal” He pushed the door opened slightly and passed what I believed was my food beneath the door and then shut it immediately, perhaps so I would not escape. I stared at the meal and then at him, wondering what I was to do with it. I could not imagine how I was supposed to eat that.I looked at the food and then cringed at the sight. It was so bad.
A gazillion thoughts crossed my mind all at the same time. Even though I tried to pretend not to see it, I could see fear obvious and evident in her eyes as soon as she heard me request for the whip.“If whipping me will make you believe that I have done nothing and I have nothing against you, then so be it. Kill you if you want but there is nothing I have against you” She spoke, her voice laced with fear.I froze almost immediately on the spot as I could pretend.I was quite hurt and broken. I stormed out immediately and headed back to my room, holding my head so tight as I was beginning to lose my mind.“Do you still think she is guilty?” Fur questioned. That was the last thing I wanted to hear.“Stop! Don’t do that! Don’t say a word!” I yelled almost immediately, holding my head so tight like I would pull it off. Why was everything getting so complicated to figure out? Antonella’s presence was making things even more difficult for me to handle.There was possibly no way she could b
“Cole?” I raised my brows, staring at the stranger. He was the last person I had expected to see that minute.“Cole” I embraced him quickly, a smile on my face. I had really missed him. After I had lost my friend; Antonella while growing up, he had somehow filed the void of course, until a particular day when he suddenly went missing.My whole life seemed to have taken a new turn ever since he was gone and I had no choice but to adapt to the new life I found myself in. Cole looked up at me and I could tell he was confused. He had no idea who I was. I had changed so much. He on the other hand, still looked the same like he was when he was little.“I am sorry” Letting go of him was the best way to get rid of the awkwardness between us. He bowed and stretched forth the letter he had come to deliver to me.I still could not understand how he had ended up being a delivery man for some rogues or whoever it was that had sent the letter.Not taking my eyes off him, I took the letter and read
Just then, he started to cough out blood.What was going on? I hurriedly placed the jar of water in his mouth but more blood? My eyes widened in shock as I dropped the jar that was in my hand.“No….. No….No. Don’t do this” I pleaded with him as he spat out blood. Where was the blood from? Had he been poisoned? My eyes widened in shock as several thoughts began to run through my mind. I could not afford to lose Dave. He had always been my support.He was my go to person and the only person I could trust so much with my pack. He suddenly began to turn pale. “Get the Royal physician!” I yelled at the maid and then, she nodded. Running quickly with one of the guards.“Stay with me” I pleaded as his eyelids had gently began to close. “Stay with me. Please, do not die. I cannot afford to lose you” I pleaded with him. Leading the pack without him would be very difficult. We had began to do things together since I became the Alpha.I had chosen him specifically to help me out and he had not l
I was quite surprised to say the least. I had not expected to be given such special treatment. From the way he sounded, I could tell he was hurt and I really felt sorry for him but it was not my fault. It was my Father and not me who had offended him. I let out a sigh of relief as I sat close to the wall. Several thoughts ran through my mind. I was baffled by the fact that my wolf was upset with me when I was actually supposed to be upset with her. What was wrong with her? All this was her fault and now, she was closing up on me?“I am sorry” I managed to swallow my pride and apologized. Even though it was not my fault, I felt the need to apologize to her. She was mute for a while and it got me even more upset.“I am sorry” I repeated, acting remorseful when I really was not. I was really bored and I needed someone to talk to. Also, I needed her to help me out. We could not be locked up here forever. We had to figure a way to get out as quick as we could.“I am sorry as well” She fi
I was so upset. If it was the same poison, it was definitely Antonella's handiwork. I was broken for a second time. Maybe I was right after all. Maybe people could not be trusted. There was possibly no other way the poison could have found its way into our pack. It was what she had planned. I was disappointed as I was beginning to trust her again and now, she had let it all down.“Trust? I believe you know what kind of person she is now” I informed my wolf. It was saddening and hard to believe but the truth was glaring. I nodded as I watched the royal physician walk away. I felt so bad and wished there was something I could do but alas, there was not. I was heartbroken.“I will protect you at all cost. I will make sure nothing happens to you”No, I was not just saying it. I was really going to do as I said. My won’t was quiet. Perhaps, it had no idea of what to say anymore after realizing the woman he wanted me to trust and give a second chance was nothing but a murderer.She had trie
I was hurt. I was broken. They were my family too and the last thing I would have done was allow my Father or support him in killing them. Could Salvador also believe I had killed him? Would he also believe I had a hand in his death?I had no idea who this stranger was but he made me even more sad by accusing me of killing Salvador and his parents.“Shut up, you murderer! You had a hand in his death!” He yelled angrily.“What are you saying? I would never kill my best friend. I would never kill Salvador and his parents. They meant so much to me. I love Salvador” I sighed. I could see the look of surprise in the stranger's eyes but I was not going to lie. “I love Salvador as a brother and I also loved him….. The way a woman would love a man”Well, I knew it was so wrong admitting it in front of a total stranger but I was tired of bottling the whole feeling up. He was gone anyways. I had to let the feeling go away even though it was difficult. Perhaps, it would be easier for me to let g
