He pauses as he gazes into her blue eyes, his hand rubbing her blonde hair.“Jasmine, I always prayed for death till I met you. Now I see a reason to live and I have to live.”“What if something happens to you? Please don’t go.” She said softly. Her eyes filled with fear. Rylands chuckles dryly, “I can’t die Jasmine. I’ll be back, and when I return I’ll make you my luna. No excuses this time.” He smiled and pinched the tip of her nose softly. Jasmine knew she couldn’t hold him back; she would have to pray he came back safely. “Ryland, please address me as little rabbit.” Ryland was taken aback then a smile crept on his face. He was pleased that his little pet did like her new name. “Always.” He drawled.“And also you have to come back because-” she paused, swallowing the lump on her throat for the words that were to come out next. “I love you Ryland.” She blurted.Rylands’ eyes widened in shock. His little rabbit just admitted her feelings. He could feel his heart doing flipflops a
Ryland, Kai, Conrad, and Jackson had been on the drive all day. Conrad was taking the driver’s seat after Kai had gotten tired. Jackson took the passenger seat beside him. Ryland and Kai took the backseat, with Kai busy on his phone, while Ryland lazily rested his face on his palm as he stared out of the window.“Ahem…” Conrad broke the silence, “Do you think it’s possible to even find the witches? They have been extinct for years and it would be hard to detect them since they fit in with humans.” “I don’t know man, hopefully, the map leads us to where they were last seen.” Jackson chimed in. Conrad let out a loud yawn, “Damn it, I feel so hungry.” His voice croaky. “Same here,” Jackson added as his stomach let out a loud rumbling sound. “Bro, you are hungry for two,” Conrad said mockingly, trying to tease him that he was pregnant.Jackson then landed a punch on his arm, causing Conrad to swell carelessly on the road. “Watch out!” Kai screeched. He didn’t see a young girl cross
“Nice to meet you again Ryland Blackwood.” Ophelia voiced out as she locked her gaxe with Ryland. Her silver shade of eyes glistening with mischief. The boys were dumbstruck. Did this lady know their Alpha. Ryland was still cut off guard as he stared mopingly at Ophelia. “Mom, you know this people?” Belinda asked surprisingly as she broke the silence. “Be good Belinda, we have guest.” She sneered, then turns her back as she walks towards the bushy path. Belinda follows behind her, when they have walked a distance she turned her back and said. “Are you going to keep staring or come find out where I live?” She snarls, and keeps following her mother. The boys looked at each other then turned to Ryland. Ryland nodded his head in approval that they can go on. They followed the woman along the thorn bushy path. Conrad and Jackson kept making a fuss about the creepy insects that crawled on them. Kai walked quietly behind the two, ignoring their antics and observing incase any danger p
The boy stared at her in a confused way. Why was she always saying things they barely understood? Ophelia could see their confusion and let out a sigh.“You need to invoke the spirit of Tala, she lies in your true mate.”Their jaws dropped. Ryland could feel himself getting uneasy at the thought of Tala. She had died long ago. Beads of sweat clouded his brow. Kai placed his hand softly on his shoulder to calm him down.Ryland swallowed, “And how do you suggest we do that? Jasmine isn’t an option.” “That's where the invocation comes in. It's life-threatening we can invoke her spirit, but whoever's body she lies in might suffer some dire consequences.” she slatted.“And what could these consequences be?” Jackson asked curiously. Ophelia frowned and then said, “Death.”Their jaws dropped, not like they didn't see it coming. “Couldn’t there be any other option?”“Well there is, but it's rare,” Ophelia stated. “The person could suffer loss of memory. Forgetting everything in her current
“In a land of myth and in the time of magic the destiny of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young woman and her name is Caroline…” Yh that's me, I had memorized the words from my favorite movie of all time Merlin, though it was really old it still made me feel the same weight Merlin had upon himself. Being the future Queen of the creatures of the night that is the Werewolves, Vampires, and Witches I had so many responsibilities. I had urged my dad to get another baby, perhaps adopt a male child, who would be stronger than I could ever be to take up the task of the future King, but it was to no avail. I know they did try their best too but I hoped some luck could shine on us. That being said, my dad was so protective of me since childbirth, even though I was strong enough to fight for myself but as he always said “You aren't ready yet princess.” in his baritone voice. He had locked me up in the palace all my life, I had no friends to talk to except the maids who attended to
“How is she feeling Grump?” asked King Herod with a worried look. “Your Majesty, she will be fine. She just needs a lot of rest since it's her first transformation. She will get used to it soon.” Grump replied. Grump was one of the oldest werewolves in the kingdom, he was more of a healer and a doctor to the royal family. Tho not the modern society doctor.Grump gathered his properties together and left the room which Caroline had been brought into. She had regained her normal human shape. Herod looked down at his pale looking daughter. Different thoughts flowed through his mind. He couldn't bear the thought of losing her. She was the only thing that gave him hope and reminded him of his late wife.Herod let out a deep sigh, “The time has come Princess, I can’t cage you up any longer.” he muttered. He used the large soft blanket to cover her up, the weather was cold and adding to her condition she probably felt cold as well. He kissed her head and then walked out of her room closi
Chapter 3I had already guessed that the King wouldn’t take this likely. He was looking at me utterly speechless and a bit disappointed with a touch of sadness.I didn't want him to feel bad, but I had to do what must be done. The book I read said when a wolf is yet to find her mate it is likely to go into a killing spree. The feeling of longing overwhelmed me, dad should know better. “Princess, you can't go out. The world is dangerous...”“…there are wild creatures out there ready to kill you. Enough of it dad, sooner or later I’m likely to take over the throne and I don’t know my surroundings. I can fend for myself.” I replied, interrupting him. I was tired of him saying that every time I talked about leaving the palace.Dad was feeling quite nervous as he walked to and fro, his fingers on his brows as he tried to sooth his worry.“Your majesty…”“Not now Grump. Leave us!” dad ordered “Yes, your majesty,” he said, bowing down and walking out of the throne room.“Please Dad, I'm n
I had been walking all day and was already tired as well as my horse who seemed to walk slowly and lazily now.I stopped by a stream to get a drink and give some to my horse too. The water was cold and crystal clear. I looked around the large forest where I was alone, the trees were so tall that they covered the light that penetrated the forest making it look darker.The sounds of birds whistling, insects chirping and the frogs croaking gave out a melodious tune. I dipped my feet into the water and started splashing them around. Not sure what I was thinking I suddenly pulled off my clothes and was in only a bra and panties. I dipped my head into the water. I was never a bad swimmer, part of my training while growing up was to swim just incase we found ourselves in between a river and we have no other than to swim away. I was in the water for a while till I heard voices above, I swam to the shore where no one would see me. I observed the people that were there they seem to be loo
