The Princess and Her Werebear Chapter 24: Mate At First Sight
Pain."It is all I know now," Alma thinks in her mind. Sighing softly, she welcomes the agony of fresh bruises and open wounds from the whip. They hit the air, and she grits her teeth in order to stop the groan of pain rumbling through her chest. She closes her eyes, blocking out the entire city. She focuses on the way the breeze caresses her cheek and brushes her thin hair. She inhales the warm scent of the thick stew that the Drein rebels, her captors, are making. Her stomach rumbles, and ache in the center of her body."Alma," the voice, belonging to an older man, another slave like her, reaches in through her reverie. "Tell me more of your homeland. Of Pyrion."Reluctantly, she opens her eyes once more, her shoulders sagging. "There is not much else to say. It is useless." She forces a small smile onto her lips. "We are stuck like this forever." She tugs on the rusting shackles locked around her wrists and ankles. Her flesh is beginning to peel and blister around the restraints.
The Princess and Her Werebear Chapter 25: The Rejection
"Come on," Jasper refuses to relinquish Eliana's arm as they sprint through Windwill, pushing their way through the busy streets.Eliana swallows through the burning in her chest from a mixture of exhaustion and fear. The other rebels that came to the aide of their comrade, are still behind them, shouting profanity in their direction."I can't—" she gasps out, exhaustion taking hold.Jasper glances back at her, perspiration building on his temples. He grits his teeth before yanking Eliana down a narrow path between the buildings.The area is so small, the rough brick scrapes her arms as they run, turning right. She bites back her whimpers of pain."Here," he growls, pushing her against an indent in one of the structure's walls. He presses against her, his hands on either side of her head. He peeks his head out slightly, watching for the rebels. He swallows in order to control his labored breathing. "Why are they even here in Windwill with slaves? I thought Drein outlawed slavery y
The Princess and Her Werebear Chapter 26: The Drulian
"Are you alright," Evyn gasps as he leans against the door of the small house they are now hiding in.Alma glances around at their surroundings, her body trembling. It is not for the rebels searching for them. No, it is for the fact that she is now alone with her mate, a complete stranger."Alma, right? Are you injured?" Evyn moves away form the door now, concern pouring out of every part of his body."I—I am fine," she whimpers, side stepping to avoid any contact with him.His scent alone has her mind going hazy. Tangerine. The tangy smell clings to the sides of her tongue.Evyn's brow furrows, the rejection she subtly gives him causing confusion to build in his features."I am sorry," she states, realizing what she has done. "I do not know how to react."Clenching his jaw, Evyn rolls his shoulders and pushes out his chest. "You do not need to be awkward around me. I shall clear the air now. I will not accept you as a mate, on the simple premise that you are not a werebear. I w
The Princess and Her Werebear Chapter 27: Taken
Olisnia sits near Alma, both hands over the metal restraint. She hums softly, her pale gaze glowing. Eliana watches intently, awe warming her chest. She could swear that the tattoos lining her body are actually moving, shifting.The metal begins to creak under her hold and it quickly begins to crumble, into dust."Oh," Eliana leans back in surprise, a giddiness building in her stomach. She grins, "That is amazing." Alma smiles softly as well, her shoulders drooping.Both of the men stand off to the side, their arms folded as they watch the Drulian."Does she hold power over us," Evyn questions. "Is that why we all feel an attraction toward her?"Jasper cocks his head to the side as he watches Eliana. He sneers, "The reason we have so much trust for her, is because it is the magic of the Drulians that created us. It is engrained within us not to harm our masters."Evyn cocks his brow, "Wait, so if we wanted to. . .""As far as what mama taught me, we can still kill them. This e
The Princess and Her Werebear Chapter 28: The Valen Family
"Alma," Evyn bites out once they return to the old building. The werebird sits, a little dazed, on the rough ground, her legs folded harshly under her."Where's Eliana," Jasper rumbles, stepping into the structure and quickly glancing around."She," Alma pauses, her eyes glistening."What is it," he barks, fear tightening around his heart."Jasper," Evyn snaps, a snarl forming across his features as he helps the girl stand."They took her," Alma sobs falling into Evyn's embrace.Jasper's entire body begins to tremble. He steps up in front of the Boquiv, "Who did?""Climont," she whispers.He pivots around and sprints down the road."Jasper, wait," Evyn shouts after him. "You don't know where they are.""I will not stand around and let them do what they wish to her," he growls, his gaze tinged with the crimson of his rage."He is correct," Olisnia states, walking around the side of the building. "You do not know where to look."Jasper releases a guttural howl as he rushes th
The Princess and Her Werebear Chapter 29: The Climont Prince
Eliana forces herself to hold eye contact with Prince Drake. His demeanor is intimidating as he towers over her, a shadow casting over his features, hiding any inclination on what he is thinking."He is most likely pondering on how to kill me," she hisses in her mind.There is a low murmur in the crowd of Climont soldiers, metal clanking as they return their swords to their scabbards. Eliana wonders if they have just returned from a battle."Who has harmed her," Drake's question causes a hesitation in Eliana's mind. His brow furrows even farther as he turns to those who kidnapped her. "I asked, who laid their hands on her."One of the men, the one that she head butted, steps forward, his gaze refusing to leave the ground. His face is painted with a dark bruise that expands from his nose out into his cheeks. "We did not mean to. She fought us when we took her and the bruising is a result."There is a twitch in the Prince's lips, his nose crinkling for a moment. He looks back down a
The Princess and Her Werebear Chapter 30: Attempt At Escape
"May I ask you a question," Olisnia inquires to Alma as she slows her horse to match the werebird's pace.She nods softly shifting on her steed. She stares at the back of Evyn's head as the men ride ahead of them, but he does not glance back. The sun has only risen and set once since they left Windwill. She did not understand why they continued to travel, even at night. Her eyes strained to see where she is going. Both Jasper and Evyn hold up torches for their horses to be able to navigate."Has it always been difficult for you to shift forms?"Alma's eyes widen as her gaze snaps back to the Drulian. Out of the corner of her vision, she can see that Evyn glances back as well, but only for a moment. Heat bursts up into her neck at the embarrassment."Uh, yes, I have never been able to completely shift." Alma tightens her grip on her reigns and moves her gaze to the neck of her horse, trying to block out how ridiculous it is that she would not know how to transform.Olisnia's voice
The Princess and Her Werebear Chapter 31: Engaged To My Enemy
Drake steps to the side, able to somehow sense Eliana's presence. He is not quite quick enough, though, as the rusted nail imbeds itself in the side of his arm. He bares his teeth in pain. As he tries to turn and face the Princess, she rips the weapon out and goes for his neck.With reflexes now kicking in, Drake grabs Eliana's wrist, tightening her hold on the metal. She whimpers as her flesh is pinched. Gritting her teeth, she yanks against his hold, trying to step away.Drake's long hair is now even over her own shoulder, tangling them together. He grabs her other arm, pinning her in place."Let me go." She seethes, her face burning with anger. She will not allow herself to be used and manipulated by a Climont monster."You just tried to kill me, and yet you're still demanding things of me," he chuckles, his chest rumbling. Drake's breath is hot on her face, only causing her rage to build. "I said unhand me.""Only if you promise to sit peacefully and listen to what I have to
