Ilaria Five days. The past five days were the same, usual and boring. Two maids, had brought me food---breakfast and dinner and they went without acknowledging me. The food would always be mouth watering but it felt as if I had no appetite. This circle kept on rotating with me barely holding up. Nothing seemed to spark my interest. Even Dionna didn't visit me anymore. I sigh as I heard the door open. Those two came inside. One of them hung the fresh clothes in the bathroom whilst the other placed the tray---filled with food on the bed. Chicken pasta and some diced fruits, apple and pear. "Can you atleast tell me if I can see Xandros?" I mumbled, my voice just above a whisper. The maid who was filling the water froze for a bare moment before going back to her work, literally ignoring me. My shoulders slumped and I leaned back on the headrest, knowing it was useless. The past days I tried every single technique but they never spoke as if they were deaf or mute. I irked them by c
Ilaria"Here is your meal of the day."Ezra, threw me with a harsh push and before I knew I landed straight on Nico's chest.His hands instantly encircled on my waist and mine flew to his chest.My breath hitched.He was close. Too close to my face, that I could almost inhale his alcoholic minty breath."Easy there, gattino." He whispered, his voice husky and insanely deep. My fingers unknowingly tightened around his shirt and I tried to get off but his hands kept me locked in my place. "Leave me, Nico." I slowly grit out, only for his hand to further tighten to the point it started to slightly hurt."I'm sure you can feel it. And to be honest I want you to savor the feeling."His words left my own thoughts chaotic but it all made sense when his hand slid up my spine leaving goosebumps behind and deep within my flesh, electric sparks danced all around, making me confused yet again.I wasn't to feel those sparks, when I had a mate?"We both can feel it, gattino. Sentilo, so che puoi."
"I really wanna see them once again."A girl sat on the edge of the cliff with her feet dangling in midair. Her dirty hands fisted the soil, squeezing it tightly until a trail of the brown dryness seeped through it."Times up, rouge." A man yelled from a distance, halting her movements. Looking up towards the sky, she heaved a deep sigh. "Can fate be reversed?" She mumbled, glancing at the white plops of cotton which slowly moved side by side. "Can I be the same once again?""Leave, rouge."His words pierced through her ears once again making her hiss loudly. Living in the wild for years had her hearing become insanely sharp, even the slightest noise could be detected by her."Alright." She mumbled with annoyance and finally got up.Her orbs flickered around the exotic scenery one last time before she hastily dashed away in the trees. The wind harshly collided with her face with force trying to slow her down but her determination took the best of her. All she knew, she had to approach
The yellow rays of the sun seeped through the branches directly hitting her face making her stir in her slumber. A groan left her mouth as she turned away from the intruding light.After a few more minutes she finally woke up, yawning loudly. Her body ached from the weird position she stayed in all night.Getting up with extreme difficulty, she stood up on her feet. Her eyes trailed around the cave until it landed on the small brown kitten who quietly shivered due to the cold in the corner. A frown instantly made its way towards her face.Ilaria darted towards the little animal with hesitant steps. "Easy their little guy, I wont hurt you." She muttered in the lowest tone, ceasing the movements of the cowering cat.She swiftly took off her sweater and placed it around the little baby giving the ample amount of heat he needed whilst softly patting him on the head. "I hope this keeps you warm." She smiled when the cat nuzzled his nose against her palm. "Awh, cute." She cooed as she slowl
“Should I just leave?” The girl was conflicted. She almost strolled for a mile in the shadows. Her feet badly ached due to the sharp thorns that were buried within her sole.She finally halted when the energy slowly withered away from her body. “Maybe it wasn’t a good idea to come here.” She muttered as her eyes searched the surroundings around her.Not a single wolf or a person was in sight.“Am I lost?” She questioned herself. A wave of dread flashed inside her as she slid down against a huge tree, settling herself on the ground.Ilaria had heard from the people -- when a wolf passes another pack border, they would instantly get killed or worse get tortured for a lifetime. But she never took those things seriously. She usually thought that people told such information just to scare her away.And that is exactly why she was here, in an unknown land filled with various huge green colored plants to test her theory out.Suddenly her thoughts were interrupted when her ears perked up at t
The unconscious girl stirred within the cold on the concrete ground.Her eyes slowly fluttered open as her blurry gaze intook her dark and silent surroundings.Forcefully blinking away the haze, a rapid wave of panic flooded in her body leaving a trail of goosebumps on her dirty skin. Her head frantically moved around in order to search for some light but to her avail she didn’t succeed.The room was submerged in utter darkness.With the support of the wall Ilaria got up. Her forehead throbbed from the impact of the stone. Gathering her remaining energy she tried to take a small step forward but was abruptly stopped by something clinging to her ankle.Crouching down on her knees, her hand flew to the restraint that had ceased her movements. Immediately she hissed at the emerging burning sensation that surrounded her flesh.On the very spot she knew her ankle was restricted by a metal cuff that was dipped in a special liquid called silver. A liquid she was too familiar with from the d
Three weeks had gone by in a blur.Her weak whimpers were muffled up in the silent area. The first week she had tolerated with patience however the second week was hell. In the span of this time, the female and male guards came by just to punish her. They would bring different types of torturing weapons like whips dipped in silver, electric devices, cigarettes and much more.The old and fresh bruises inflicted on her body had ached throughout the whole time period.Two days ago a guard came by and had cuffed her hands from the roof letting her hang there without any support. His dirty hands had roamed all over body without any shame as he whipped her on the back until blood had seeped out of her cracked skin.Ilaria was finally left alone in her own dried blood. She couldn't heal properly due to her wolf not being present."C-Cherie?" Her broken voiced whispered in her mind but to her avail all she heard was silence. "I.. m-miss you."A soft smile grazed upon her lips. "Y-You know wha
The humongous room was extremely silent than usual.Gold and silver chains littered the walls with a tinge of red inbetween it. Huge crystal chandeliers hung from the roof giving the space a bright glow.Ilaria tuned out the mild whisperings of the people who gathered next to the two huge seats which were placed in the middle of the room. The royal seats were colored in specs of gold with red cushions attached to it.“Do you know why you’re here?” The man sitting on the throne spoke with immense authority.Her eyes gazed at his face, dreamingly. The only thought running in her mind; how could some be so attractive and frightening at the same time? An abrupt sharp pain ignited within the side of her waist breaking away the daze she was in. “Rouge? You dare to ignore the King?” The guard hissed in anger. Ignoring the ache, her orbs searched for some kind of emotion on his face but all she got was a blank response.“Answer, Rouge.” His loud raspy voice engulfed the whole area making the
