" I'm here to represent Mrs Woods!"
The words were precise and silence fell upon the room.Officer Simon's stood frozen. He did not expect an attorney to be present in the police station for this lying imposter. He had made sure that she had no access to her cellphone and she wasn't allowed to make her one call.Officer Simon's gained his composure," Go straight through to the boardroom Mrs ? Sorry I didn't get your name.""Mrs Smith." She replied sharply." Alright, Mrs Smith, I will just be putting the prisoner back in her cell. I will be with you in a minute." He stuck the key in the keyhole."I don't think so, officer Simon's. Ella Woods is my client and I would prefer her in the board room with me. She is not a prisoner." Mrs Smith eyes squinted as she stared holes into him."She is guilty." Officer Simon's turned the key." Innocent until proven guilty. I would like to see your proof." Mrs Smith shut the gate firmly. The swift movement made officer Simon's jump.He had taken her to be delicate and fragile, by the structure of her body."Alright. " Officer Simon's held the cuffs tightly and tugged Ella along." Open the cuffs." Mrs Smith commanded." She is a prisoner. I just can't release her." Officer Simon's replied." A prisoner. I keep hearing this word from your mouth. She is here because you are an imbicile. You choose to offend one of the wealthiest woman in Palm beach. Do you know who I am?" Mrs Smith raised her voice. She was annoyed by his disgusting attitude." Yeah. You just told me. You are Mrs Smith!" Officer Simon's held a smug expression on his face." I am the best attorney in Salt Rock. I will crush you like a bug." Mrs Smith spat out. She pushed passed him and entered the captain's office. After a few minutes she was out again and back in his face."Bail has been posted. Please release Miss Ella Woods." The captain commanded.Ella sighed in relief.Soon she was back in her hotel suite.After a grand meal and a hoy shower she lay on her bed, drifting off into a deep sleep.Ella's dream begins.I lay underneath the blanket of stars waiting for my mate. The full moon illuminated the sky. It was a sign of our full strength as wolves. My mate, Seth Rollins was the most beautiful creature I had met. The alpha, next in line to be the leader of the pack, he promised that I will always be his one and only love.I knew that he was promised to the daughter of the neighbouring pack. It was promised at birth to keep the business between the packs good. Seth and Sheba were the link that held the packs together.I knew this when I met him, I still know this now but he had promised to be only mine. I would be only his ,that today he would mark me. We will go to our parents and convince them to negotiate with the pack leader of the stark clan or we will just elope. Leaving this life behind, starting a new life and creating a pack of our own. We fluttered in our dreams since we were eleven years old. I never saw myself with anyone else. Seth was the only wolf that had my heart. I fantasized about this day. The day I turn eighteen, and today was the day.The soft footsteps in the nearby bushes takes me away from my thoughts. I smelled his strong scent , the masculinity made my heart race. My body tingled and every hair on my body stood up. The adrenaline coursed through my veins. I was seeing my Seth after a month. He had been busy with college examinations, but today he promised he would see me. He would honour my birthday wish.His hot breath against my neck sent tingles down my spine as I turned to look into his sea green eyes . His muscular chest brushed against my back and I nuzzled myself into him feeling the comfort from his broad frame. I always felt safe with him.He had already taken his human form and his face was filled with desire. His cheeks were pink and sweat beads formed on his forehead. I used the palm of my hand to wipe his forehead before planting a kiss between his brows.“You came.” I shrieked with excitement as I felt the chemistry between us intensify.“Ella, tonight I want you . All of you.” He cupped my face and I was lost in his words.He was like a drug. A drug I could not get enough off.My body melted into his as he embraced me in his warmth.“ I have not done this before, Seth.” I said in a low voice,” I thought we would wait until after marriage.”Although I had a strange feeling of doom in my heart ,I ignored my intuition and have in to my desire.Seth was a few years older than I was. I was a year out of school whilst Seth was a third year business student. My mother is a servant to their family from before I was born and I spent many days a week in their mansion ,where I met Seth who made me feel like a princess. I knew he had been around with many girls in college but that was what guys his age did. I could not be angry, it was the past and I know he is now with me, entirely. I always wondered why he would choose a daughter of a servant. I felt special knowing I was chosen by an alpha. I felt that this was my fate . The heavens had blessed me for my devotion to the moon goddess.“Why wait? We have the rest of our lives.” Seth pulled me in, merging his lips with mine.” What difference would it make if we did it now or later”His kiss left me breathless, wanting more. I had never felt so feverish before. I felt drugged, as if my body was on fire. Heat rose through my skin like rays of sunshine and I pulled him in closer.“Don’t worry, I will be gentle.” Seth said kissing my neck.Feeling his kisses on my neck and shoulders we tore the clothes off each other.Entangled and in ecstasy, time seemed to be frozen, the only thing I could hear and feel were our hearts beating in the same rhythm. It was as if we were now one.I felt like I was on a flying carpet and I never wanted to get off it. We kissed ,we grabbed, we nibbled and we wept.When it was all over, I lay on my back, letting the moonlight highlight my soft ,white skin.Seth traced his hand over my birth mark which was on the shape of a half moon.He zipped up his pants and buttoned his shirt, ready to leave.“Wait.” I yelled.,” Aren’t we going to speak to our parents.”“ No.” He replied, not looking back.I slipped into my dress and chased after him.“ I am your mate. Why haven’t you marked me?” I cried . I didn’t understand what had just happened. Five minutes ago we were passionately in love and now he is running away .“You naïve little girl. I told you what you wanted to hear. I gave you what you wanted tonight. But I cannot marry you. I am already fated and you knew that .” Seth started to morph into his wolf. He knew that I would be too tired to take my wolf form after what we had done.“Come back.” My words were now just a plea of desperation in the quiet night.Soon he was out of sight and I felt my whole world crumbling. I fell to the ground , weak and alone.” Happy birthday, Ella.” I cried hard for hours until the rays of sun illuminated my brown hair.My eyes burned and I found a nearby stream to wash my face.I knew mother could not see me this way. Looking down at my torn dress ,I tried my best to neaten it. I looked like I had been attacked.Mustering all the courage I had in me, I ran home as fast as I could. All I wanted to do was scrub every inch of Seth off my body.I snuck into the house, like a thief, making sure not to awaken my mother. She did not know that I had snuck out just hours ago. I looked at the silver clock above the arch , it was already 5am.Jumping straight into the shower I scrubbed myself until the skin broke and droplets of blood oozed out. The pain from the bruising could not compare to the pain o felt inside.I dressed in my pajamas and headed straight for bed. Drawing the blinds shut, I drifted into a dreamless sleep.3months later.I spent three months of my life crying. Who would want a pregnant ,tainted woman like myself. I was spiralling down into a deep dark place. If it was not for the baby I carried in my womb, I would have ended my life.It broke my mother's heart when I finally found the courage within me to tell her the truth.I never went back to the mansion after that day. My mother,being a single parent was like a superhero but I felt the depth of her wound. She blamed herself for my misfortune." I have made
I closed my eyes and tried to sleep but aunt Tess's words were still swimming in my head. This is a game changer for Seth. I am a Luna. He thought he could break my heart and get away with it but he can't . I won't let him. He will regret the day he had left me. Vengeance crept into my heart. I did not know how I was going to make him pay, but I was going to." Breakfast is ready," I heard aunt Tess's jovial voice from the dining hall.I was barely even dressed, I hurried as fast as I could almost tripping over my own feet."You should be careful. I don't want you getting hurt now.""Sorry aunt Tess." I said as I sat at the table .Taking a slice of toast I coated it with strawberry jam. Today was the first day that I actually felt hungry. I was starving. After three months of morning sickness I was now feeling like myself.We arrived at the coffee shop and it wasn't as little as aunt Tess has said, it was the total opposite.She gave me the grand tour and showed me how to work the ma
"Wow, look at your face." Tyler clapped and laughed loudly." Can't I make a joke. Is it only you who can be humourous?"I didn't know why I was surprised. I shouldn't have cared if he was angry , but somehow I did." So, you aren't upset that I am pregnant?""Of course not Ella. I had known the very first day I met you."I wondered how, I knew only a male wolf would smell my pregnant scent but he was a man." But how?""Your aunt Tess." Tyler smiled.Silly me, how could I possibly think this kind man was a wolf. He was too plain and simple. He smelled of fresh lavender and sunshine. Every possible way a human male smelt and behaved." To be honest, Ella, I really like you. You make the most putrid tasting coffee but I will still drink it."I burst into laughter," my coffee is horrible but you still want to drink it? Why would you possibly want to torture yourself."" Yes. As long as I get to see your pretty face. Anything made by your hand is special."" Tyler, I hate to be a buzz ki
Tyler walked in to the coffee shop ordering his usual. One putrid coffee made by me. This time I tried to add more cream and less coffee.I poured a little in a cup and kept it aside. He took a small sip, tasting it slowly." Wow this is delicious." The cream lined the top of his lips and I took a napkin and dabbed it off.He smiled at me and I went back to the counter taking the cup I set aside. Since he said it was delicious I decided to take a big sip, emptying the contents of the cup into my mouth.As soon as it touched my tongue, I cringed. My nose wrinkled up and I wanted to puke. It was awful. It has no taste of coffee at all, just a coffee smell with milky taste.I spat it back in the cup and rinsed my mouth. It doesn't take rocket science to make coffee but why was I so bad at it." You really think my coffee was divine?" I questioned Tyler."My taste buds think that anything prepared by your lovely hands is divine." Tyler teased." Why do you even bother to torture yourself?
The alarm went off at seven and I rolled out of bed. I had started getting used to moving much slower than usual as my belly started to grow. Saterday had literally jumped up on me,the three days went by so quick, I didn't have time to prepare myself mentally. Every day for the last three days, Tyler reminded me of this day. It has become like a chant. In the past three days my coffee just got more pathetic and he still drank it .I had a warm shower and dressed into some comfortable clothes as he had told me. He asked me not to have breakfast so I sat and stared at myself in the mirror for a while, trying to figure out what to do with my long, brown hair. I still had twenty minutes before he would arrive and I spent all twenty minutes, braiding, twisting, tying and plaiting my hair. I eventually settled on a high ponytail once I heard him hooter outside. My heart was beating so fast ,I thought it would pop out of my chest. It felt nice to just be a normal girl, amongst humans in th
I dug into the lamb shank, sucking the juice out of the bones. The pregnancy had made me a savage. I sucked my fingers, watching Tyler cut up his food elegantly with the fork and knife.It made me think of the childhood movie that I had watched. Beauty and the beast, and I was the beast.He smiled and fed me a piece of his bacon and avocado wrap. I had already eaten more than half of the food from the picnic bag.I took a slice of cake and devoured a big bite. Picking up a napkin, Tyler wiped the chocolate from my cheek. I really felt like a clumsy dummy.Here in front of me was this rich,powerful,well groomed man, and then there was me. A country girl with no table manners. Tyler smiled and picked up a piece of cake, shoving the entire slice in his mouth.I erupted with laughter as the entire bottom of his face was messed.He tried licking it with his tongue," aren't you going to help me with this?"I picked up a tissue and wiped his face.Once it was clean I took a piece of cake
Looking around the bathroom,I could not find my clothing . In the place where my clothes were kept now had a yellow sun dress, a yellow and silver flat sandal and a straw sunhat with a big yellow sunflower." Tyler. I can't find my clothes " I shouted from the bathroom." I think someone has stolen it. Do they have another set of guests because I think she left her clothes here."" Is it a yellow sundress and hat?" Tyler replied from the other side of the door."Yes."" Then it's yours, Larna. I asked my personal assistant to have a change of clothes sent for you." Tyler said laughing." I can't believe you would think someone would steal clothes."" You should give a heads up next time." I said as I changed into the new clothes.I stepped out of the bathroom and it looked as if Tyler's jaw had dropped to the floor. I played with the bottom of the dress nervously."Wow. Larna. You look stunning. Like a yellow fairy." Tyler said as he held my hand." Shall we go. I am starving and you sho
I took a spoonful from each plate. Each dish had its own signature taste and to my surprise they were all equally satisfying." This isn't bad at all." Tyler slurped the gravy from the egg dumplings. " I expected it to be awful but it's actually the opposite." I commented truthfully ." Thank you Mr Smith." Andrea said as she cleared the table and disappeared back inside the restaurant.As my food digested I looked out at the bright orange sun in the sky. The red umbrella shielded us from its rays. Although it was hot, the breeze kept us cool under the shade.The garden was spectacular, something you would see in the movies.It had a large green hedge maze with red rose trimmings. A large fountain with a statue of a pregnant mother stood in the middle.Birds were bathing in the fountain, undisturbed.Butterflies fluttered by. It was so serene. The air was fresh and crisp. It was as if I had died and gone to heaven. It was peaceful.Soon Andrea was back with a trolley full of food. S
