Regina Opening my eyes, I came face-to-face with a giant black wolf, its penetrating brown eyes locked onto mine. Its fur was sleek and glossy, reflecting the moonlight that filtered through the dense forest canopy. I could sense a primal intelligence emanating from this majestic creature as if it held ancient wisdom within its gaze. The wolf growled low and deep, a rumble that seemed to vibrate through the air. Its teeth glistened in the moonlight, revealing a formidable set of sharp canines. I could feel my heart race as I stood frozen, captivated by the raw power and beauty of this magnificent predator. I moved my eyes downward and noticed the wolf's muscular body, which was perfectly adapted for hunting and survival in the wilderness. Its paws were large and padded, allowing for swift and silent movement through the forest. I couldn't help myself from moving my hand to touch the softness of its fur; he purrs beneath my touch. As I reached out to touch the wolf's fur, a surprisin
Regina "Richard," I called softly, my head resting gently on his chest as we both gazed up at the vast expanse of the night sky. The twinkling stars seemed to dance above us, filling us with a sense of wonder and tranquility. He hummed at my touch, his fingers gently tracing circles on my back. The cool breeze brushed against our skin, carrying with it the faint scent of blooming flowers. "You know when you first came into my house, Sam asked me to stay away from you." He turned his face, looking at me. "He was right," Richard mumbled. I looked at him, surprised by his words. "What do you mean?" I asked, my heart sinking with a mix of confusion and sadness. "I am dangerous," Richard whispered, his voice filled with regret. "I have a dark past that I can't escape from. Being with me puts you at risk." My mind raced, trying to process his revelation. "And there are many wolves that would want my death because of who I am," Richard continued, his eyes filled with a hint of fear. "I
Regina "I hate it. I hate...." I shouted, punching hard at the tree trunk. "Why?? Why?? " I sighed, my leg turning weak, and I let my body get loose, lying on the grass. I was so very happy just hours ago, and now look at me here, angry, sad, and hopeless all at once. "I shouldn't be angry, but I am," I mumbled to myself, closing my eyes. I'm trying to focus on my breathing to calm my hampered heart. I need to calm down. Why haven't you contacted me already? What did I do wrong? I thought we had something special, but now it feels like everything is falling apart. Richard, what are you doing? Please pick up the call; I can't bear this uncertainty any longer. I need to hear your voice and understand what's going on. Richard…. I sighed, feeling a mix of frustration and longing. The silence on the other end of the line only deepened my sense of sadness and hopelessness. Maybe I upset him somehow, or maybe something unexpected happened. I couldn't help but wonder if there was a
Regina Where am I? I thought as I opened my eyes, trying to scan my surroundings. The room was dimly lit, with a faint smell of rose hanging in the air. With my body resting on a giant soft bed, why the hell is everything so dark in here? With all the windows closed and covered with blinds, even the lights are off. I sat up, feeling a sense of unease creeping over me. What is this place that brought me here? If my mind is not playing tricks on me, I remember clearly that I was in the forest and saved a giant black wolf. It seemed like a dream, but the memories were vivid. The wolf had been injured, and I couldn't just leave it there. So I helped him, but why am I here? Without a doubt, he was a werewolf. I just don’t know which pack he belongs to. Where is he now, though? Who was that wolf, and why am I here? "Miss..." Someone said this as the door opened and a woman in a maid's uniform entered. "Good morning." She said she was smiling. "Good morning," I replied, my mind still
Regina Why the heck am I so nervous? I took a deep breath, trying to calm my beating heart. I can do it. Right now, as I am making my way to meet the so-called Alpha of this palace, I am feeling déjà vu. Similar emotions are getting on my nerves as I am getting one step closer to the dining area. The anticipation is overwhelming, reminding me of the time when I approached the big black wolf when he was injured. The same rush of adrenaline courses through my veins, making me feel both excited and anxious. But deep down, I know everything is going to be fine. I tried comforting myself with these words as I meticulously dressed up like some kind of fashion diva. Each piece of clothing is carefully chosen to convey confidence and poise. As I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror, a surge of determination fills me. I can do this. God. I groaned. This dress is heavy, and the corset is making me breathless. I tried my best not to wear the dress, but then I agreed, as the maid stated t
Richard Where are you, Regina? I sighed, trying to suppress my anger as I continued with the meeting. I don’t know what I am doing here when there has been no clue as to Regina’s whereabouts for 24 hours. I couldn't help but worry about her safety. The lack of information was making it difficult for me to focus on anything else. At last, she was seen in her school with her friends, but after that, no one knew about her whereabouts. I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease, wondering if something had happened to Regina. The longer she remained missing, the more my concern grew. I hoped that she was safe and that we would soon find out where she had been all this time. I have been restless the whole night after Sam called, asking for help tracking Regina's whereabouts, but there isn't a single hint about her location. ‘All I want is to leave this place and go find our mate.’ My wolf voice fumed in anger in my mind. I want it too. But I can’t leave now. I need to fulfill my duty a
Regina "I should leave now," I said, after eating a little bit of the extravagant breakfast that was served to me. Roger smiled warmly and insisted, "Oh, please stay a little longer. There's so much more I want to show you around the estate." I shook my head at his words. "I appreciate your kind offer, Roger, but I really must be going," I replied politely. As much as I wanted to explore the estate further, I had already overstayed my welcome. Roger smiled, nodding his head. "Let me drive you to your home." I thanked him for his generosity, but he declined the offer. "I can go on my own," I said. But wait, before leaving, I changed into my own clothes. "I think I should change my clothes before leaving." "No need. This dress is a gift for you from me." Roger insisted, "Please, it's the least I can do after your help.” "But I can’t..." I tried to argue. "I insist," he replied. "Keep this a souvenir of our first meeting, please." I sighed in defeat and finally nodded my head at
Regina Richard held my hand, pulling me out with him as he walked out of the palace. I turned my head only to see Roger standing by the front door, watching us leave. Roger's eyes bore into mine, his expression a mix of disappointment and longing. It was clear that he wanted to say something, but the words remained trapped in his throat. As Richard tightened his grip on my hand, "Richard..." I stopped trying to free my hand from his grip. "You're hurting me," I whispered, my voice barely audible. Richard's face softened as he immediately released his grip, realizing the pain he had caused. His eyes filled with remorse as he gently caressed my hand, silently apologizing for his actions. I glanced back at Roger one last time. Roger's eyes bore into mine, filled with a mix of anger and disappointment. I knew this wouldn't be the last time we would cross paths, but now is not the time for something like this. "We should now," I said to Richard as we both made our way to his car. Richa
