"Hold still, Tristen. This wound needs cleaning and stitching.I thought you were an Alpha, why are you whimperimg like a child? "Ryan roared, trying to hold Tristen down at the inn while the healer cauterized the first wound at his abdomen. Tristen winced as the healer tended to the wound. Ryan sat across on his chest, levitating while eyeing him suspiciously."So, Tristen, care to tell us how you managed to escape while the rest of your men fell to the Grey wolf hounds?"Tristen pulled his hand away from the healer's grip and eyed Ryan with counter suspicion. " Does my vulnerability give you the perfect opportunity to question me like this?"He snapped at Ryan. " Don't try to ignore me by giving this conversation another angle Tristen! " Ryan pinned him with his eyes. Tristen stood up, pushing the healer aside and held Ryan's collar differently. "What's your problem, Tristen? Why do you always have to pick a fight?Tristen winced in pain as he fell back,"You.My problem is you,
I sat there in his living room. None of the boys had returned, Ryan, Beck or Josh. Ryan had asked a few of his men to stand guard at the entrance but they were not allowed inside. So I was basically sitting there, sulking and doing nothing in particular. If was after sometime that Bellow joined me for the night. He tried offering me food and drinks. He was really kind and sweet. " Why don't you sit down and have a drink with me? It's just grape juice! It's good for your tummy! "I winked as I pulled him beside me. As I forced his mouth open to force fees him the juice, because he was so shy, I immediately let him go. I saw something that sank my heart to the pit of the sea. Bellow didn't have a tongue. Was that the reason all along why he didn't talk? I clearly saw a scar left behind in his mouth from where the muscles were cut off. He too back off, probably feeling shy. He was a shy boy. But this topic was more sensitive. " I'm sorry Bellow, I don't mean to meddle here, but
" He is already inside! "I bluntly said, taking the pot off the stove. " Already inside huh? "My words seemed to stimulate him. He looked at me with playfulness in his eyes. As if encouraging me to tease him on. I couldn't help but giggle as I saw Ryan go and sit on the couch after that. Then he began looking at me with a mixture of curiosity and mischief. I decided to have a little fun with him, so I walked up to him and leaned in close, making sure he could smell my perfume, pretending to fetch an ingredient that I didn't even need in my cooking. "What's up, Ryan?" I asked, batting my eyelashes. "You seem a little tense."Ryan rolled his eyes. "Don't start with me, Sherry. I know you're up to something."I grinned. "Me? Up to something? Whatever do you mean?" I twirled a strand of my hair around my finger and leaned in even closer. "Let's just say I have a little something planned for tonight and I am so excited. "Ryan raised an eyebrow. "A little something with who?Did all th
Ryan drove like his car would tear the road open with its force. It wasn't just his vehicle that wad racing, but his mind was too. He couldn't shake off the eerie resemblance even Sherry's words had with that of his Sherizad. ***The timing was just after the attack on Tristan's pack. Sherizad was on her way to report to her father. But she stopped midway. She stopped in the middle of delivering such an important news because she found a stray kid on the forest bed, lying on the cold ground and bleeding from his mouth as if he had been poisoned. " Midnight, there is no time to waste. You go ahead and report back to father. "She instructed, bending over the boy and checking for his pulse." On it, " Midnight bade her farewell before disappearing, " But be careful. The woods are not safe any longer, even for werewolves. "Sherizad nodded. Sherizad leaned in closer to inspect the boy's mouth, her heightened sense of smell detecting the coppery scent of blood. She noticed somethin
" Damn it! Damn! " He dealt two hard blows on the steering wheel which made the horn scream twice with the rhythm of his blows. " Why is it happening all over again? No! No! It's not the same. It's not the same thing! "He bent his head over the steering wheel this time as it's loud horn yanked, making the noises in his head fade a little. Two loud thuds over his car roof, made him look up. He signed and frowned as Beck and Josh decended from either sides. " How many times did I ask you not to damage my toys. "The two jumped in through the windows and said, " We went after him. He could barely walk after taking all that Wolfsbane. "" Ah, that Chong! He offered him Aconite as if it was beer! Go on. Tell me you found it's lair! "He asked. Both shook their heads, as Beck began, " He robbed a begger and went straight inside a phone booth and dialed someone. "A person showed up. He was human. The two of them were talking in sign language so we couldn't really make a lot out of t
As the ashes on the floor began to rearrange themselves, Ryan, Beck, and Josh watched in awe and disbelief. The letters formed a font that seemed to glow with an otherworldly light, as if imbued with ancient magic.The letters were sharp and angular, with intricate curves and loops that seemed to flow like a river of silver. Each character was etched in a delicate script, with lines so thin they were almost imperceptible. The font seemed to be alive, pulsing with an energy that emanated from the very heart of the script.Beck gasped, "What language is this? I've never seen anything like it before."Ryan was equally amazed. "It's definitely not any language I've ever encountered. It looks like it's from another dimension or something."Josh, the most skeptical of the three, spoke up. "Are you sure it's not just some kind of trick? Maybe it's just a bunch of random symbols that look like a language."But as they watched, the font continued to transform, with the letters coalescing into
" You want me to pretend to be your girlfriend and live in with you?"Rose asked as surprised at Ryan's statement as if the sky was untrue. " Not really girlfriend but more like a sex buddy who also understands me and my needs. "Ryan answered with his usual nonchalant demeanor. Rose blinked for a few minutes, trying to process what was happening. " Ryan, let me get this straight. You want to have sex with me, did I get that correct? "Ryan nodded very reluctantly, " Yeah, it's not something new, why are you getting so worked up? "He counter questioned. " Precisely. You want me in your bed you know you can have me anytime, any day. I don't understand why you are asking me to move in with you at your place? "Her eyes literally spilt confusion. " I have my reasons. You don't need to know. I will let you off all your other duties for that time. I will compensate for them and you will also get an extra pay for your service at my place. Now tell me if you agree or not? I will get t
The warm sunlight from the window,woke me up the next morning. I was on my bed but I remembered that I was watching a movie with Bellow in the mini hall,next to Ryan's bedroom. Then how and when did I end up in my bed? A smile appeared on my face as I wondered if it was Ryan who put me there. It would be impossible for Bellow to lift me and the two other boys didn't even talk to me properly ever since their last scuffle regarding me, so I doubted if they would be touching me. I couldn't help feeling the excitement from the little something that Ryan and I had shared the night before. I couldn't wait to see him again. Without wasting any more time, I got out of bed and washed my face and tied my hair up. Then I headed towards Ryan's room. As I reached his door, I hesitated for a moment, wondering if it was too early to wake him up. But my eagerness got the best of me, and I knocked on the door.To my surprise, the door opened, and there was Rose, the stripper girl Ryan had brought h
