I heaved, stepping back with the spears falling and disappearing into thin air.
“What have I done?” I looked all around me, three men with two of them unconscious and one stumbling back to quickly grab the two and turn.
“Sorry Beta…I…I” He could not even talk, scrambling away into the dark forest with fear coursing through him.
My eyes fell on my hands.
I did not know what got over me. The blood was dripping, it playing in my head as I hammered into each man over and over again. I stumbled away, the tears falling as I shook my head.
“I am a monster,” I whispered just as two firm hands gripped me.
I could not stop the sob, the ground soaked with nothing but blood.
“Hey, hey.” The beta shook me but I did not want to face him.
I would have killed that man if t
Breaking down in the shower was my thing, but I was able to finish my weeping session then went to pull on black sweatpants and a grey hoody sweater. My feet were covered in socks, sprawled on the floor as I opened the file Mrs. Mary had brought up. Work, training, and Brum would be the only things keeping me sane in the castle.The paper was brought to my face, reading or trying to, because everything time I read a word, all I heard was ‘little darkness’. I sighed. I could not concentrate; I could do nothing and time was going. The ball was in a few weeks and I wanted it to be perfect. Time was already not on my side.I loved that name though.His little darkness.Okay, girl, get your head straight! I screamed in my head, dropping the file.I sighed, giving up to turn and stare at the bed. My feet worked on their own, literally crawling to the bed like a five-month-old baby. My upper body picked up, my arms stretching with me smiling a
There was no way I was using anything in Mary’s file. I cut it in pieces with scissors, leaving no option than to start afresh and figure everything out on my own. “Which floors do the guests stay in?” I questioned Brum. “Seventh, sixth, Fifth,” Brum said back with me nodding my head. “So, are the rooms allocated by status or?” I asked with Brum shaking his head, his hand going behind his neck to give himself a rub. He did look beat down. “Okay, thank you, let me go check them out,” I said to him. “I will go with you.” “No, it’s okay, I got this, you already have a lot of work and you look like you need a whole month out of the office,” I told him smiling and concerned. He sighed and shook his head while sitting back down on his chair. I moved back to his table, taking a soft writing stick with an eraser and a whole writing pad instead of the paper. “I will be back soon,” I told him to turn and walk out of his office. His door
Who needed sleep when I had so much work? My hands were colored with ink as I wrote and drew. Room allocation was done. It was a bit tricky but I did it. I did not want to just stick leaders of one area near each other or sit them together at the tables. I wanted to mix them up so they could socialize and get to learn about the other packs.The rivals were set apart, so far, they would hardly be seeing each other.That was done and it was time to see what the rooms would look like. I had decided to personalize the rooms which was perfect with the allocations done. The first pack was the Obsidian pack. They were called that because their area was surrounded by black rocks that from the drawings I had seen were beautiful so I was thinking of white covers for them with white curtains but the rug would be black with accents of silver. They would have black towels.The pedestals were wooden and so fancy-looking. The decoratio
A bowl full of fruit sat before me. I could not resist it even if I tried. I lunged on it, taking one and peeling it before eating the sweet goodness. It was a beautiful morning indeed. I wanted to talk to Brum, there was so much I needed to ask him, I also needed to talk to Mrs. Red since I had stormed out on dinner. So many things ran in my mind just as I was just sitting there. My eyes scanned, falling on Mrs. Mary who was devouring her plate next to her mate. I held nothing against her but I would never in my life take anything she offered.My eyes moved around from person to person.“Do we have a florist at this table?” I asked politely, heads turning to me.“Yes, luna, my mate, and I run a flower shop in town.” One man spoke out. He was tall and buff as all of them but you just could not hate those big puffy brown eyes. He was like a bunny forced to go to the gym.&ldquo
The king turned so pale I cried. I cried because I realized what I had just brought on myself. Everyone in that area gasped with their weeps getting even louder. My legs shook as if to buckled, Brum cursing over and over again behind me. I knew I did something stupid but I could not let them kill a pack member. As much as they hated me, I was the luna of the pack, I was a mother to all of them and I would not watch while any of my children got hurt. I would protect them to my death, that I what a luna does.I was panicking but I would not take my decision back. My fear came back, so scared I thought I would faint.The king turned, his whole body turning to me. The whip was already coated with nothing but blood, it dripping to the ground as Stern fought to stand up straight. My lips shook, my hands too. What a promising day it had been but that was gone.The king’s eyes moved from me to the beta, not knowing what th
“Get him up, get him up please.” I shot, no one seeming to snap out of the feelings they were buried in. I tried standing, afraid to hurt him, but the king was passed out so I sucked in a breath and tried standing up with him.Brum was scattered on the floor, his mind not there, knowing he had gone through the worst torture with my heart tearing for him. I wished I could go to him and apologize but I could not.My tears were blinked back.“Snap out of it and get the king up before he losses more blood. Someone link the doctor, we will take the king to his room.” I shot out, my body stepping back, my own body on fire with some of the whips having torn through my side, but that could wait.A man ran up, helping me carry the king. I held one arm with the man holding the other. The king weighed so much I thought my legs would snap yet I would carry him. We walked away, blood dripp
Nightfall fell and the king still had not pulled from his state of unconsciousness. I felt as if l was losing my mind, the only thing keeping me sane just his moving chest.I lay on his back, breathing him in and out. My lips pressed on his cool skin now and again. The room was dark, the windows having been opened with the growing crescent in the sky, the curtain dancing to the wind’s tune.The food was still untouched, lunch having been taken away. The ladies came back when dinner hit, bringing a few other dishes for the king and I. They peaked and asked how he was doing and all I could do was fake a smile and tell them he would wake up soon.The door suddenly opened, pulling me from my thoughts, my head picking up but not enough to see who had entered.I heard footsteps, leading to me sitting on the king to fully turn and see the intruder. I already had a good idea for there was no one else who would walk in with such confidence when the king was
I could barely stand, literally stumbling out of the flying machine with my eyes closed to take a deep breath then opened them and stood up straight.I pulled a smile on my face, fixed my walk, and walked as if everything was alright.The eyes were felt on my body, analyzing all the tears on my clothes along with the blood. I was sure I was a black and crimson mess.My head was nodded as I passed all the people, opening the door to walk in.A part of me thought I would find him awake and standing, a part of me thought he would no longer be there but he was. He was still lying on the bed, his body quivering.back, him burning hot with sweat beads on his skin. He was restless, sounds that made no sense to me but from contact, he went so still. My worried eyes wrecked over him, hearing a nearly silent sigh with his chest collapsing. My head bent, a kiss on his temple.I did not know what was happening to him
