“Do you think it’s true?... about the statue?” I asked as I removed my jacket, resting it on top of the chair. We were in Julian’s room and he was sitting on his bed still in his work clothes as he watched me. “Maybe,” he said, a little distracted as if mentally he was somewhere else. “Would you… would you be willing to try it with me?” I asked quietly. He snapped back to the present and looked at me, his eyes wide with shock. “Would you be okay with that?” I nodded. “I guess so,” He then smiled wide and leaned on his arms backwards, “I’m sure you are my mate, but we’ll go there and test that statue out soon.” “Okay,” I smiled as I kept my weapons belt on the table. There was still something I wanted to ask Julian, and this seemed the right time. “Julian… that night, how did you know where I was?” Julian’s expression hardened and he straightened up, bringing his arms on his lap. “I couldn’t sleep that night… I went out for a walk but I couldn’t get you out of my head.
Phase one was the first step to get rid of Human discrimination– Getting rid of all enslaved humans. In the west and the east; the two Alpha’s– Jiya Williams –who took her husband’s place after he was brutally murdered by Werewolves, because he freed all human slaves. (Julian had told him to wait for his signal; but he went ahead and did it anyway.) And Caleb Long– the Alpha of the east region. The south was ruled by Julian’s good friend - Gabriel Allen. The first trip was to the east. Jiya Williams was a magnificent woman. Her brown skin glowed under the sun as she stood near the doors of her grand mansion, where the entrance was decorated with flowers of all colors. It was as if she had added life to her lands. Everywhere you looked, it was perfectly crafted, colored and kept. The doors, the houses, the crops, the lands, the markets and most importantly– the people. It was difficult to believe that this place would be anything less than peaceful. But not everything that glitters is
This is the story set in a universe where the Werewolves rule over the planet and the humans are their slaves. The Werewolves have left only half of the human population. Some of them were killed and some turned and took their places in the packs all around the world. The humans work and pay their taxes to the Alpha of their country. The Alphas are what kings were to humans. The Werewolf hierarchy is as follows: Each kingdom is ruled by an Alpha, Usually, the Alpha title is passed on from generation to generation but if someone from the lower ranks dares to challenge the Alpha to a duel, a fight to death, and can show his dominance and his strength then he would be declared as the new Alpha. The Alpha’s right-hand man or ‘the false Alpha’ is the Beta - the second in command. Can replace the Alpha in case they are not around. Beta’s acts as the advisor and the only person with whom the Alpha maintains direct contact. A bond between the Alpha and its Beta is stronger than blood. Bet
“And do you, Rylee Winters, accept Julian Salvatore to be your lawfully wedded husband?”Everyone held their breaths. Rylee’s face was covered with a veil, and Julian Salvatore—the Mafia Leader, or the Boss as he was typically referred to—stood with a very bored look on his face. He was handsome, of course, but everyone knew this marriage was a business deal. He wasn’t even looking at Rylee. What’s the point of having such a good-looking face and body when you’re such a jerk?Rylee was Evelyn's elder sister. They both shared the same green eyes and black hair, thanks to their mother who decided to run away right after Evelyn was born. That was the only thing that was similar between them.Rylee was an absolute rebel and excellent at singing. She also disliked her dark hair, so she would always dye it blonde. She was a bar singer and often kept away from home. Evelyn, on the other hand, was good at studying, so she pursued college with the little money they had, and worked as a waitress
The monitor next to her father beeped faintly as Evelyn sat on a tiny stool next to him. He was okay, but she wasn’t. She couldn’t believe what had happened twenty-four hours ago. All she knew was that her family was at risk, and she had to do something to solve this.After her father fainted, Julian was kind enough to call an ambulance for him. Evelyn hadn’t seen him or his men since then, but she was sure they weren’t done yet.As if on cue, a knock on the door startled her. She slowly walked to the door and opened it a little, enough for her to get a peek. She sighed in relief as she saw the nurse.“Is everything alright?” the nurse questioned with a quizzical brow.“Yes,” Evelyn smiled. Or at least tried to.“Great, well. This came for you,” the nurse pulled out a crisp white envelope from her pocket.“Thank you.”The nurse didn’t reply and just began to check her father’s vitals. Evelyn carefully flipped the envelope, and the seal confirmed her fears. They really were not done wit
With the first rays of dawn peeking through the heavy curtains, casting a soft glow across the room, Evelyn found herself unable to sleep a wink, her mind consumed by worry and fear. Reluctantly, she forced herself out of the luxurious bed, feeling like a fish out of water in such an extravagant setting.A gentle knock on the door shattered the silence, and before she could respond, a young woman in a crisp uniform entered, carrying a tray with breakfast. She placed it on a small table by the window and offered Evelyn a polite nod.“Good morning, Miss Winters. Mr. Salvatore asked me to ensure your comfort. If you need anything, please don’t hesitate to let me know.”“Thank you,” Evelyn murmured, her voice barely audible.The maid departed silently, leaving Evelyn alone with her swirling thoughts once more. She approached the table and mechanically nibbled on a piece of toast, though her appetite was nonexistent. Her mind remained preoccupied with thoughts of her father and Rylee. She n
The next morning, Evelyn awoke with a sense of determination. She couldn't continue living like this, feeling trapped and powerless. She needed to find a way to escape this mansion and free herself from Julian's grip. But to do that, she needed to understand every corner of this sprawling estate."Good morning, Ava," Evelyn greeted the maid with a forced smile as she entered her room. "I was wondering if we could take another tour of the mansion today? I'd like to see more of the grounds."Ava, ever cheerful, nodded enthusiastically. "Of course, Miss Evelyn. There's still so much for you to see. Shall we start now?"Evelyn agreed, and they set off through the mansion. She kept her real intentions to herself, masking her plans with curiosity and politeness.The mansion was a labyrinth of luxury and opulence, designed to impress and intimidate. As they walked through the corridors, Ava pointed out various features and rooms."This is the main living room," Ava said, opening double doors
That night, Evelyn lay in bed, her mind racing with thoughts of escape. She had spent days meticulously noting the guards' schedules and had drawn a detailed map of the mansion on a piece of paper. She had studied every possible exit and weakness in the security system. Despite Julian's warnings, she was determined to find a way out.Evelyn waited until the precise moment when the guards changed shifts, a time she had carefully observed over the past weeks. Slipping out of bed, she dressed in dark clothes to blend into the night and grabbed her map. She silently made her way through the mansion, avoiding any creaky floorboards and sticking to the shadows.She reached the vine-covered wall she had inspected earlier. Testing the strength of the vines once more, she found them capable of supporting her weight. With a deep breath, she began to climb, moving quickly but cautiously. She was almost at the top when an ear-splitting siren blared through the air, shattering the silence of the ni
