(Willow's POV)"Hello" A deep masculine voice knocked me out of my deep thoughts."S-sorry" I stammered. Thank God it wasn't my boss.I adjusted myself in the seat and looked up at the fine man staring down at me."Are you okay?" He asked in the sweetest voice."Y-yeah" I found myself stammering again. What is wrong with you Willow?"I was just distracted, please, let me have your items" I quickly changed the topic.He gave me a small smile and emptied his shopping basket on the counter and I did my job as the sales lady.The supermarket I work at is the biggest in the suburb so I get good pay."You look pale, are you sure you're okay?" He asked again.Dude, mind your business, pay up and get the fuck out."I'm good" I tried so hard to smile back. "Cash or card?"Regardless of the extra make up I had on to hide my pale skin, he noticed!I do so well to wear baggy clothes most times to hide my skinny body."Card" He gave me his card but it was double. I looked up at him in confusion

"Hey little sis!" Leviathan smiled at a poor miserably looking Willow, who was tied to a huge tree in a strange mist forest.Blood dripped from her nose and mouth to soak her white dirty and crumbled up shirt."H-how.." She looked around and spotted Terra not to far from her."Mum!" She called with all the might in her."Shh" Leviathan smirked."What are you doing with my mother!?" Willow cried.She looked over to Terra who was on her knees, wrapped in chains."I swear to you, you'll regret this!" Willow angrily said."But this isn't my fault!" He deeply laughed. "You have yourself to blame" He walked over to her mother and lifted her chin to look her in the eyes."Let her go!" Willow shouted."She's really pretty" He looked back at Willow, who's eyes were filled with furry."I warned you Willow. I really did. I told you not get involved. I begged you to let me handle it with Jordan" He slowly walked back to her."W-what?" She looked confused as tears dripped down her face."I told yo

Jordan brought out a tray of pies from the oven and quickly threw the mittens on the counter in his huge kitchen at the colony. He set one in front of Willow on the island in the kitchen. "It's hot" He warned removing the apron he had on. "I like it hot" She gave him a weak smile and picked a fork. He sat opposite her. Willow looked skinny and pale. Her lips are now purplish and her pupils turned blood red. "Why are you looking at me like that?" She let out a dry cough. She was so skinny that her collarbones were very much visible and so were her ribs. "Nothing, you're beautiful" He smiled. She has been living with him in his house for a month now and her recovery is very slow. "Don't flatter me" She chuckled while picking up a mirror. "I look terrible. My mum will kill me" "You look the same to me" He shrugged. "My eyes are red now. I look like a skeleton with a single layer of skin. And I have this annoying urge for blood. Am I still a werewolf?" She sadly asked. "Yes, of c

Jordan growled in pain as he tried to move back but her grip was too tight. Japh quickly kicked the door open. "Jordan!" He worriedly called. "Get the doctor, Star" He commanded and tried to free Jordan from her grip. A doctor rushed in and immediately sedated her. "You need to get that check immediately" The doctor ordered pointing at Jordan's wrist as more nurses rushed in. "I'm fine" He looked at Willow. She is sleeping again. He hated it. She needs to be awake. Japh dragged him out of the room. "She opened her eyes" He said to Star and Japh as the doctor attended to his wound. "She looked me in the eyes" He smiled. "For ten seconds" "How is that even possible?" Japh paced around. "I don't know, I don't care! All that matters is that she is alive" Jordan replied. "This can be a bad thing. Claudia bit her" Star sighed. "She might be a threat" "No she isn't," Jordan sternly said. "She bit you," Japh reminded. "We don't know how dangerous she is now" "It's a normal reactio

"She's dead. We lost her" "What!?" Japh exclaimed. "No, that's no right" "What do you mean!?" Star frowned. "You can't be serious" "We couldn't get the venom completely out of her because it has completely invaded her bloodstream. I'm sorry" The doctor walked away. She's dead. We lost her. It kept on echoing in his head. He took a shocking step backwards. "Jordan" He heard Japh's voice but it sounded like he was under water. He could hear his wolf whimpering in agony. Jordan slumped back into his seat. He couldn't believe it. He didn't want to. Just like that, he lost her. Then suddenly, anger boiled in him. All he saw was red. Leviathan took everything from him! He killed Genzzi and now, Willow. Star walked into Willow's ward. She laid on the table in blood as the nurses cleaned her up. She looked limp, pale and dead. "Oh Willow," Star said sadly. "Everyone get out" Jordan suddenly barged in. "Get out!" He growled and walked to her body. Star slowly closed the door

Claudia quickly entered the cell and held Willow by the throat. "Stay where you are or I'll sink my teeth in her neck and trust me, she won't survive" She threatened. Jordan halted. His eyes fixed on Leviathan filled with anger and hate. He slightly looked at Rowan who was still unconscious on the floor. "We can have a clean transaction here" Leviathan smiled, walking closer to Jordan. "I don't know what happened out there but I'm sure you came for her" He pointed at Willow. "And tell your boys to stay out of this" "Cut the trap Leviathan. I'm not giving you what you are asking for" Jordan huskily said. "Then I guess you wouldn't mind" Leviathan signaled Claudia and she was about to bite Willow but Jordan took a quick forward. "Calm down," Leviathan chuckled. "Hand her over, I'm asking nicely" Jordan growled. "Give me the moon stone, I'm asking nicely" Leviathan replied. "And don't try anything smart" He added when Jordan didn't say anything. "I know, the pack is second to none a

ARE WE SAFE HERE?“Wake up, Kee.” Hilda lightly tapped her when the truck came to a stop.“Are we there yet?” She sleepily asked.“I think so.”All Keondra could remember from the trip was Hilda's stories about a werewolf warrior turned rogue. Which wasn't really new to her because there were a lot back then in her time and her father had to do damage control.But why does Hilda think this driver is the ‘Rogue King’?Something about him captivates her and she could not explain what exactly it was.It felt raw, it felt strong. It felt like electricity of different volts.What exactly is captivating her? Like some irresistible goddamn attraction she can't really completely fathom.His eyes are cold, but says a lot.What is it about this man?There's more to him.The trunk slowly opened to reveal him, standing on the other side. He had an axe in one hand.“This is as far as I can take you.” He said.“What? But it's already late.” Hilda looked out at the twilight. “It will soon be complet

YOU'RE NOT MY PROBLEM.The two headed out of the forest and soon, reached the road leading to Kraxuris.Keondra curiously watched the road she was walking on. “What is this black thing?” She finally asked.“It's called a road, it's tarred.” Hilda answered her. “Are you tired? Do you need to take a break?”“No. Why is it black?” She asked again. “And why is it in a line?”“Oh, that's right, you didn't have this back then.” Hilda sighed. “It's chemistry, you'd know that if you went to school..”“I went to school.” Keondra interrupted.“Not fighting school Kee,” Hilda chuckled.“What's ‘Kee’?”“You have a lot of questions.” Hilda sighed again.“My father taught me to ask questions whenever I don't know it. It's wisdom to ask and foolish to pretend.” Keondra shrugged.“Well, friends usually have nicknames for each other and before you ask what a nickname is, it's a playful name and short name. In your case, I took the first part of your name.” Hilda explained.“We're friends?” Keondra loo

THE TALE OF VERDUGO.“I don't understand.” Hilda sat beside her."Did you say I have the venom? Like, you mean I'm cursed? Forever?" She cried."Calm down. All I know is that Verdugo is the only one with the venom and the only one to probably give it to you," Hilda placed a hand on Keondra shoulder. “Which is impossible because according to stories, he stopped existing like a hundred years ago. So you see why this is bullshit? It's not true. Nothing is wrong with you, you're fine.”"He did! He bit me!" Keondra frowned, remembering all that happened.“I think you are hallucinating now, I will get more potion to calm your soul.” Hilda attempted to stand up.“Hilda.” Keondra held her back. “It's all true! I need you to believe me.” She pleaded.“How do you expect me to believe that? I think you're just scared of the tale of Verdugo which probably traumatized you as a child.” Hilda worriedly said.Keondra helplessly closed her eyes. “Tell me what you know about the venom.”"It is said tha

FINDERS KEEPERS. Present Day. "We should kill her," A demon said. He had crazy eyes and a tongue hanging down his mouth. "Yes, she belongs to us now." Another one said as they circled over her pale body. She looked too white and dead. "Stay away from her," A young demon said. "Here comes the party pooper," The first one scoffed. "She is ours now, she's already dead." The second demon flew around her. "Finders keepers," He crazily laughed. "She belongs to the owner of the valley, Raul. Back off." She threatened and slowly landed beside an unconscious Keondra. "I'll rip you apart Hilda!" Raul angrily said and was about to attack her but his friend held him back. "Chill, Belphegor will never let her live." His friend laughed and it echoed in the valley. "We got a present and we shall keep it." They both cut open a portal and disappeared into it.. Hilda cautiously poked Keondra but she didn't move. She carried her and headed for the palace. "Why did you bring her

LIKE FATHER LIKE DAUGHTER. A Decade Later. "Duke!" Keondra called out. "C'mon boy!" She clapped, looking around. She wore a cropped top hoodie which left her stomach bare as her waist disappeared into the baggy pants. Her hair was in a rough bun at the nape of her neck while a few strands fell to her face and some behind her little pointy ears. “I know you're in here, you stubborn creature.” Duke jumped on her from behind and they both crashed to the marbled floor. He stood over her on his four as he passionately licked her face. "Duke!" She loudly laughed and stood to her feet. She patted his white fur and kissed him on the face while lovingly tracing the unique black pattern on his face. He was bigger than a normal tiger and she got to understand that he was no ordinary tiger. Ludwig brought him into the palace as a source of protection and Czar trained Duke to the best of his skills. He perfectly understands her and she loved him a lot, although Ludwig recently banned him f

CALL HIM DUKE.The scent of lavender spread across the lavishly decorated room. Her favorite toy sat right beside her on the bed.The ceiling was high up and a single chandelier hung down to give a complimentary look to the golden curtains and neatly arranged royal candle stands.A room that befits royalty.Keondra woke up with a fright.She had a terrible nightmare that made her relive the horrible ordeal.All she saw was flashes of the masked man.His entire body was black showcasing his huge physique, including his muscles and veins. His pecs stood proudly with a claw necklace that had skulls in between them which slightly fell to the shoulders. The mask covered his entire face with ears on his head that gave a perfect description of a werewolf in human form because of his wolf-like shaped face but he wasn't too hairy.He had an armor around his waist that covered up his pelvis, well designed vambraces on his forearms and detailed greaves on his legs each.He was the scariest thing

“Xavier is your father.” Jade finally spat.Mason's attention didn't move from the man seated on the other side of the table.She thought she'd regret it the moment she said it but it only felt like a huge relief.Jade keenly watched her children's expression because she can't afford to have this blow back in her face.She took a leap of faith with this one.Liam smiled. “Daddy?” He quickly climbed down with Jade's help and ran to Xavier on the other side of the table who happily picked him up.“Yes, daddy.” Xavier tightly hugged his son.“Is that mine!?” The presents on the floor immediately caught his attention.“Yes, and your brother.” He looked over to Mason.“I want mine now!” Liam pouted.He actually underestimated the whole thing. He thought he'd just get to know his boys and groom them into men.But looking at them, holding Liam in his arms, an overwhelming feeling choked his throat.He has never felt anything like it before.All he wanted to do was protect them, protect his f

Xavier entered the conference room where Jade was seated at the head chair.“Sit, they're waiting downstairs.” She ordered.“Who is waiting downstairs?” He didn't move.“Everyone.” She swirled the chair a little. “I'm going to introduce you to the whole team. Remember what I said to you? Don't act smart.”“I don't care for that. Why not just take me to my boys?”“I'm pretty sure everyone would like an explanation after I publicly claimed to kill you.” She stood up. “We have to give them a good story and you are gonna agree to everything I say out there.”“If that's what it takes..”“I'm not asking. You don't even have options, Xavier.” She walked to him. “Behave.”She didn't give an opportunity to even breathe the next word as she walked out.He let out a short scoff.Jade is completely something he wasn't expecting, he won't deny.He could clearly see the anger and raw hate she boldly displayed in her eyes whenever she looked at him and make no mistake, she doesn't even try to hide i

Jade is completely something he wasn't expecting, he won't deny. He could clearly see the anger and raw hate she boldly displayed in her eyes whenever she looked at him and make no mistake, she doesn't even try

Xavier watched her in silence.“Of course.” She gave a short scoff. “Pussy.”He wasn't surprised at this revelation because he already suspected her to know, following her little association with Zane.Zane probably told her everything so why does she want to hear it from him? It was a story he wasn't really proud of so until she force it out of him, it'll stay dead, just like the old him. Jade took the cuffs off to his surprise. “We will go with your plan.” She started. “Don't try anything funny, I've killed you before, don't think I'll hesitate to do it again.”“No doubt.”“And don't you dare upset my sons..”“They're my sons too!” He interrupted her. “Stop making it look like I don't have a right to them as well.”Jade roughly grabbed his chin. “Don't fucking interrupt me like that again.” She hit him with a death stare.“Then stop saying things that trigger me.” He stared back. Maybe this was a very big mistake, she slowly realized.“I've changed my mind.” She picked up the cuf

Jade poured herself another shot of whiskey as she tried to forget the horrible confrontation she had with Khalil days ago.Her head spun just by the mere thought of it, like it was yesterday.“They are my sons!” He angrily roared when she denied his claims. “Khalil, you need to chill. What on earth made you believe they are yours!? Why would you come to such conclusion?”“Are seriously kidding right now?” He asked with frustration.“Don't you think I would've told you if I was carrying your child?” She asked again.“I don't know, I thought you needed time, and space. I didn't want to push and I was waiting for you to come to me. Plus, Maria is in the picture so I also thought you are trying to protect her as always but I can't do it anymore. I am tired of pretending, I want my sons.” He answered.Jade looked at him with a perplexed scoff. “You got to be kidding me.”“I am really not in the mood for games, Jade. Please don't let this escalate.”“Are you threatening me?!” She angrily

“Mum!” A tall boy ran to her. He had silk black midnight hair, thick lashes hovering over his icy blue eyes.“Mummy!” A younger boy ran behind him.He looked exactly like the first boy, only younger with softer features.That resemblance always hit her hard in the gut whenever she looked at her boys.Jade quickly took a knee to hug her precious little dumplings.“Did you get it?” The first boy asked.“Hello to you too, Mason.” She smiled with the roll of her eyes.“Well did you?” Mason insisted.“Mummy, I got five stars today.” The younger boy happily said to her.“Oh baby, aren't you so smart!” She proudly hugged him again.“Okay, Liam got stars and I didn't.” Mason rolled his eyes.“Behave, young man.” She gave him a warning.“Just tell me if you got it.”“I can only permit the Stone who got stars today to play with the new PlayStation.”Liam squeaked in excitement. “Thank… you mummy.”“That is not fair!” Mason stomped his foot.“Maybe you'll do better tomorrow. But you don't get t

HEELS, HELP AND HOPES “You're late.” Santos said the moment she closed the door behind her.Kim jumped in fright with a gasp. “What is wrong with you!?” She glared at him but probably didn't notice because of how dim the room room and also, she was standing at a distance to him. “What are you doing here?” Her legs started moving towards him.“Waiting for you.” He looked at her, slowly making her way to him.“It's inappropriate that you're sitting on my bed. No, scratch that. It's totally not cool that you came in here without my permission.”“There was no one to give me one when I came, plus I didn't intend on asking for any permission.” He smiled a little when she stopped in front of him.“This should never happen again.” She said. “And the balls of you to make yourself so comfortable in my room.”“I'm interested to know what will happen after we get married. You do know that you'll have to move in with me, right?” His smile widened.Kim walked away from him to the closet. “Well bef

OLD HABITS DIE HARDKimberlee tugged in her sleeping children and pulled the duvet over them with a smile.“Do you even know the crazy thing?” Kim turned to her friends who were stuffing themselves with ice cream.“Huh?” Pamela looked up at her.“This is so delicious.” Zita said with a mouth full of strawberries. “Do I get to eat this everyday?”“I don't know.” Kim sat in front of them. “Kim, you have to make them treat us like this every single day.” Pamela moved closer to her with the bucket of ice cream in-between her legs.“I'm pretty sure you will be well fed and you'll have too much of everything, trust me.” Kim smiled at her.“Is it just me or do you look thinner? Are you sure you eat enough?” Zita worriedly asked. “Well, I can't remember when last I had a really good meal. I'm not allowed to eat too much because I can't afford to be ‘overweight’ as a princess to be and the future queen.”“Don't tell me these people are starving you because they want you slender.” Pamela frow

NOT THE CROWN, JUST THE MAN He couldn't just be straight forward and tell her what exactly the surprise was. Kim prayed it had nothing to do with the queen or his dearly betrothed, Stefania. So what on earth would he surprise her with? Kimberlee stopped midway down the stairs when she spotted her kids and sisters in the enormous living room. “Zee! Pam!” She almost missed a step but still kept her focus on them as tears welled up in her eyes. Pamela and Zita's attention snapped towards her and they immediately flew into her arms. “Kim!” They both sadly chorused. They slowly released her to wipe their teary faces. Pedro ran to hug her legs. “Mama.” “Oh my sweet baby.” Kim picked him up. “I've missed you so much.” She placed kisses on his face. Santos leaned against a pillar in the fifth floor to watch the reunion. Kimberlee walked to the rest of her children who were seated on the couches and knelt in front of them. “You guys won't give me a hug?” She sadly asked. Margaret

DIFFERENT AND DIFFICULT DREAMS Kimberlee wore the heels but couldn't get up.“C’mon doll, you can do it.” Kiki encouraged and she tried one more time but couldn't.“I don't think this is for me, these heels are too high.” Kim sadly sighed but Ana walked to her.“Don’t be deceived honey, heels are meant to be possessed, they are not made for you. So make it yours.” Kiki swayed his hips with the snap of his fingers.“Maybe you need a little boost.” Ana offered her a hand and pulled her to her feet.“How do you even walk in those so easily, Ana?” Kim frowned.“Took years of practice. I think you're a fast learner, don't worry.” Ana said to her.Kim wobbled a little but slowly gained her balance. “I don't think I'll ever get used to this.”“There you go.” Kiki stood next to her. “Just follow my lead, do what I do.”Ana stood on the other side while Kiki started some few movements.Kim almost tripped and fall but Ana caught her just in time. “Nah, I'm not doing this.” She shook her head.

PICTURE PERFECT PRINCESSKimberlee tossed around in the bed, hearing some noise in her sleep.When she finally decided to open her eyes, Rhoda and some strangers were busy in the room. Some were writing things down while other kept inspecting the room.“What the hell is happening?” She quickly sat up.“Good morning, my lady.” Rhoda walked to the bed and bowed. She had a big book in her hands.“What are you doing in my room? And who are those people moving around without permission?” Kim angrily asked. “What are they doing?”She thought no one could enter her room without her permission.“My apologies.” Rhoda kept her head bowed. “But I received strict orders from the queen.” She held up the book for Kim. “This is your training schedule.”“What is that?” Kim took the book and opened it. After a short while, she looked up at Rhoda. “I have to learn all of these before the wedding? This is too much and the wedding is just in a few weeks.” She frowned.“The queen said to ensure you learn

HORNY WITH A HINT OF RUM Kimberlee snapped herself out of it and quickly pushed him away.He was wearing suit trousers and a black long sleeve but the suit jacket was abandoned on the bed.“What are you doing here?”She looked around the room. “We need to talk.”“Who let you in, huh?” He ruffled his hair. “Seb? Or Ana?”“That's not important.” She turned to him. “So this is where you come to hide from the world and your problems? And I assume I'm part of the problem?” She questioned.“This is where I escape the world. This is my happy place. But here you are, when I'm trying to escape you!” He replied.“I believe this room was here long before you walked into my life.” Kim felt herself loosing her patience gradually.“Well consider yourself added to the list.” He gave her a tight reply.Kim looked at him with an angry chuckle. “Are you kidding me right now?”Santos sat on the bed. “What do you want?” He gulped from the bottle in his hand.“You're too drunk to talk.” “I'm not drunk.”
