Arianna found herself on a comfy bed, her eyes shifted to the one in front of her. He had long brown hair, and those two gray-green eyes stared at her, she saw a brief glister of pity and something else that she could not fathom. Even though Arianna found this man before her drop-dead handsome she still fears for her safety. "Who are you?" Arianna asked. "I....I...I," He stammered before her. Arianna stood up abruptly from the bed, the strange man tried to move towards her but she pick up a lamp and point it towards him. "Who are you!" Arianna asked again this time she furrowed her brow threateningly. "I'm not a threat," He said. Arianna look at him and then she glance around her, the room had an unusual interior design, it seemed old fashion, very old-fashioned and it spark her interest but still, she was not comfortable with a stranger, she heard a lot about serial killers who disguise themselves looking for preys. "Put the poor lamp down let's talk," He demanded. "I'm not
******Arianna's POV*******I dashed towards the mansion which was filled with guards and cops, the guards were answering tons of questions that the cop threw at them.I tried my best not to get seen by anyone of them as I sneak in through the backyard, luckily for me, they were all busy and the entrance from the backyard was not locked at all.I tried my possible best to stay hidden, I stood behind the big pillar of the house, I thought I was well hidden but Jonathan yelled my name making me flinch and I look towards where the scream came from.Even when I was gesturing to him to hush, he still ran towards me."What a douchebag!" I cursed under my breath."You must hurry, your dad is with your mom at his study and I don't......" I didn't let him finish as I ran past him leaving him hanging, I darted towards the stairs and almost ran into one of the cops, he stood awestruck staring at me as I ran past him towards the study.I heard him ask Jonathan if he was seeing things and if that w
*****Khloe******Khloe woke up with a start, Ever since that horrible night, she had never slept comfortably without having a nightmare, this time it was so scary.she fluttered her eyes open, Khloe noticed that she was still in that same bedroom and the previous day's event came flooding into her memory, she felt the presence of someone beside her bed and the dipping of a red bag that hung loosely on a tiny iron pole, she traces the tube with her eyes which leads to her hand, a tiny needle was safely buried in her vein on the back of her palm.her throat felt dry all of a sudden and she felt a bit weak.Khloe moves her other hand and removes the needle from her hand, she stood up and look at the one sleeping beside her bed.Khloe tiptoe to the door, she doesn't know how long she had slept but all she wants right now is to go home to her strict aunt.Her Aunt Katherine is always a thorn in her flesh but regardless she had taken her in and though she didn't treat Khloe very nicely, it w
*****Lucian******Finally, I meet my mate, I could not describe my feelings, she was so frail and small, and her strawberry smells clouded my sense of reasoning.That moment she lay in the arms of Marek I felt a pang of jealousy and pain, the energy of my wolf that had been hidden for five hundred years rushed out, Cerios my wolf desperately want to meet our mate and when I walked back to her, it takes a lot of discipline and effort to gain back control from my wolf without hurting our mate. Cerios was raging uncontrollably, when he took over my body he would have killed the vampire who dared to hurt our mate but I intervened and took back control of my mind, the vampire used that slightest opportunity of my distraction to superspeed out of my sight.I haven't turned back to my normal form though I was in control of my mind, I want to see her one more time and I did, then I turn around and left.I found somewhere around the dark alley to wallow in my thought."Finally, we won't be lo
With unsteady feet, I found a place to rest my aching head. My emotions were running rogue, I am upset because I wanted us to make peace as father and daughter, I am sad because I missed him and I thought he also missed me. This is the first time he had ever done such a thing to me and I felt cheated, slowly my sadness was being replace with bitterness and anger. I stopped a taxi and muttered the destination to him then I instruct him to speed off before I change my mind. I arrived at the president's office, the guards tried to wand me off, but I did spare them a word as I stormed inside. My dad was sitting on a couch not doing anything just going through a newspaper with a cup of coffee in his hand. He raised his head to look at the one who had barged into his office without knocking and my dad suffocating gaze met my deathly glare. The chief guard ran after me, he bowed to my dad and try to explain my impulsive intrusion. "I'm sorry, she would not just listen to my men..." M
I felt uneasy, I try to not think about her but it was hard for me, her face and expression, how meek and gentle she look were the memories buried in my head. Cerios kept on groaning now and then.I went to my study to drift her thoughts off my mind but it was not easy, I either stare at the space or down at the book in my hand.I brought out my phone to call Marek maybe if I know how well she is doing I will have peace of mind.the line didn't ring for long, Marek picked up my call and explain to me how Khloe didn't let him take her to the house, rather when they got closer to her house she had pleaded with him that she could go on her own.I suddenly felt a gnawing feeling about it, I instructed marek to follow her at a distance. I was so intolerant but I waited for him to return my call.Marek's voice was shaking the next time he called me "Her aunt is molesting her!" Marek said.my head spun, and my wolf started struggling to resurface again."Cerios!" I growled at him."If you d
When the bell rang for the day, Arianna ran out almost immediately. Somehow, Simone note has light up her day. Arianna thought were so full of What If. what if he asked me out? what if he loves me? She palmed her face and sat down on a rock close to a spring in the middle of the garden. The garden is some meters away from the school compound. The moment Arianna ran out, Ella ran after her but she could not get to her before she finally went out through the door, Ella hit her legs on the last chair close to the door and almost fell but her class master caught her. Ella was motionless, her jaw dropped as she stare at Dylan's face, she didn't want to move away from his grip and after saving her from falling Dylan try to remove his hands which was wrapped around her but she wouldn't let him. Ella grip on his clothes.With a slight push, Dylan withdraw from her grip and throw her a frown."I'm sorry sir," She apologize.Dylan was mad at her, he was a playboy but still he prefers to c
Khloe woke up, she sit up from the bed and look around her. The bedroom was quite different from yesterday,She smelled this scent of spiced wood and the feeling of someone's presence in the room with her. She got out of bed to take a closer look at the painting placed in front of the big bed she slept on, it was a painting that has an in-depth meaning.*It depicts a smiling mother using her body to cover two faceless tiny feet from the rain."Are they daughter or son?" she wonders.the wall of that bedroom was painted black and its curtains were milk in color with a smooth surface.she took in every detail and the awesome part of everything was that she felt at home.in her aunt Katherine's home, regardless of how she had tried to make herself feel like she belong there, there was still this forbidding feeling of not belonging, now that she thinks about it maybe it was because she was never treated nicely there.She saw the mini bedroom couch and decided immediately to watch outside
