I fell down before I could avoid it. I felt a sting in my butt when my bottom made contact with the ground. But my sole interest was in watching the dog flying in the air before lurching itself onto me.
On top of me!
Soon, I was trapped beneath it. I closed my eyes tightly to avoid from looking at its dripping saliva. It was so gross and ugly looking. I could feel tears burning the brim of my eyes. There's no way I'm gonna accept dying like this.
No! There's no freaking way that I'm gonna die like this but what should I do?
Cuddle with it so it would let me go? This is not a normal dog. No dog can be this huge. All of a sudden, it let out a loud howling, followed by two far-stretched ones. I jumped at the sudden sound. What was that, a call but a call for what?
Oh my God! Is it calling other rabies to come feast on me?
I did not dare glance around after opening my eyes to find the dog's face so damn close to mine. I kept my sight on it and the latter kindly returned the gesture.
Kindly, my foot! I just want to get the hell out of here.
I heard more growling. When I moved my face to look out for the ones which were approaching, the dog growled and came dangerously close to me. I flinched as I saw the number of sharp teeth in its mouth.
He retreated a little bit backwards when two huge dogs, as enormous as the one in front of me, appeared from around the bushes.
Oh my God!
What if one of them will tear my arm while the other two will busy themselves with my other arm and leg? No way! I need to get away. And that too, now…
Without a second thought, I began thrashing around and screaming like my life depended on it. Well, in this case, that's a big yes. I just hope someone will hear my voice but even if they do hear me, will they come here? I don't think so.
Bloody little cowards!
The other two dogs neared us, like predators. Being the ultimate prey over here, I could only resort to screaming even more loudly while trying my level best to pull free. Woah! I never thought I could scream this loud.
Actually, whenever I have ever thought about being in danger before, I would always imagine myself being the kind of girl who would freeze like an idiot. Well, I should really praise myself, huh?
Unfortunately, my actions seem to have angered them so much that all three of them were suddenly on top of me. They had me trapped under them, ready to tear me to bits and pieces, just to get rid of me, a nuisance to them.
No! No and no! I've never been among those who would accept defeat. I have to do something. It's never too late. There must be something. Just then, my gaze fell on a piece of wood lying right next to my right hand. What's even better is the fact that both sides were pointed.
Okay, here's the chance.
Without hesitation, I grasped it tightly in my right palm. Weighing it well in my hold, I raised it to spank the dog nearest to me. What? I would never kill it. I'm not that cruel.
However, I froze when I heard an even more vicious threatening growl echoing around us. The dogs which were leaning over me quickly hunched their way away from me and wait what?! They freaking bowed in front of me.
OMG! Maybe they are offering their prayers first, before finally having their supper? Before I could get over this shock, another dog, even bigger than these three, emerged from the trees and growled menacingly. If I thought those dogs were enormous before then there's no words for this one.
This one has rendered me completely speechless.
The three dogs quickly ran away from it. I was left looking at their butts in astonishment. What just happened? They ran away as if their asses caught on fire and they were trying their best to put it off, sauntering and jumping around to get away.
Oh no! Maybe, they just offered me to their leader? Thinking about it, I glanced back to where it was but alas! The dog that had saved my ass was nowhere to be found. Maybe, this was the right moment to get the hell out of here?
Just when I shakily got up, I was pushed from behind. I fell forward but not on the harsh soiled ground, right on a warm soft surface. What was that? Right on impact, I had closed my eyes but as soon as I had fallen on the warm soft surface, I screamed.
You might ask, why?
Well, I was lying on top of the dog while it had its whole body laid out like a mattress. I jolted up and kept on screaming, closing my eyes tightly again. No way! I might lose my voice like that.
“Can you please shut up?” My scream died down as soon as I heard someone’s voice.
I almost yelped when I opened my eyes again to find the leader with its eyes and ears covered up with its two front paws. Aw, it looks cute. I wished it was really a cute little dog so that I could cuddle with it every day.
The moment it noticed that I had quietened down; it peeked out from under its paws and whined at me.
Am I dreaming?
Did it just whine?
Who had spoken though? I glanced around with a frown to check whether someone was hiding behind one of the trees but found no one and nothing peculiar.
When I looked back at the dog, it was still lying down on the ground and staring at me with an innocent look on its face. Why am I not afraid of this creature anymore?
Why do I suddenly feel safe? Was this normal?
As much as I felt somewhat okay now, I still couldn’t get rid of the engraved image of this dog’s snarl from earlier from my mind. This is a feral animal.
Without thinking, I sat down in front of it and slowly reached out to touch its head. Its glowing yellow eyes were following my every movement slowly, pinned on my trembling hand yet I did not feel threaten.
Just when I ran my fingers through its furs and started petting it like a dog, it closed its eyes and moved closer. I almost flinched but gulped before taking a deep breath as it snuggled close to me with its head lying in my lap.
Holly molly! What is this thing?
I don’t know how and when but I slowly found myself drifting off to sleep while playing with its soft furs.I know what you might be thinking. Who is their right state of mind would sleep when an unknown creature was nuzzling up against them?I don’t know about you but I would when I’ve spent the entire day and night before sorting things around my new apartment. I pretty much already had bags forming under my eyes. It was high time I get some sleep.Hence, the slumber party time begins, with a not so small creature in my arms!When I woke up, it was dark so I figured it was night time or pretty early in the morning. I was still sitting with my back leaning against the tree trunk but the dog was nowhere to be found. Had it all been a dream, a nightmare? But what am I doing here? There is no way that I could imagine all of that. I’m not J. K Rowling nor am I Stephenie Meyer.I hastily got up and dusted my clothes off. I halte
When he moved a step back, my head spun as he cleaned the blood dripping down the side of his mouth with the back of his hand. My blood!My words got lodged in my throat as he graced me with a bloody fanged smirk.He freaking had fangs, like the dogs I met earlier.Finding my voice, I exclaimed, “What the fuck are you?”I refrained myself from pushing him away from me, afraid of touching him.I held my breath when he met my gaze. Concern etched on his forehead as he studied my face which was most probably showing my increasing panic and fear of this man.“You’ve got such a dirty mouth.” His smirk widened mischievously as he cocked a perfectly shaped eyebrow at me.He adjusted his arms beside my head and covered the short distance between our lips.Brushing his lips against mine, “I will have a great time taming you.” He murmured. His low and distinct tone sent a shiver travelling up my
The dark clothed man, who threw him down, glanced my way. I gasped. He freaking had wings, black and huge and he was hanging down low yet his feet never touching the ground. I would prefer using only one word if I had to describe him. A vampire!He has white pale skin like a vampire, his lips are bloody red and his eyes are dark, so dark you would feel like he’s looking right into your soul, sorting through your darkest sins. He has black shoulder length hair and looks fierce and right now his lips are pressed into a thin line.I could no longer deny that what was happening wasn’t real because real or not, it was definitely happening unless my eyes were playing some tricks on me.“You didn’t tell me you met your mate, Alejandro.” He addressed the man who had bit me.Mate?“Leave her alone!” Alejandro tried to get up but ended up hissing in pain. Consequently, I gasped in pain.“If I’m not
Alejandro’s point of view:I returned the threatening glare Ivan was throwing my way with one of my own.“How dare you cross my territory?” I roared.“Don’t you dare bark at me, you mutt.” Ivan snapped, his pupils thinning out before his eyes turned black.My wolf, Leo, fought to break free and growled, dangerously deep and low, forcing me into submission but I refused to yield to his demand.‘Damn it, Leo! Just stay put, I don’t want our mate to be scared of us.’‘You are the one who scared her away. I was doing great until you put your foot in it.’‘Fine, I admit that what I did was reckless but just listen to me this time, okay?’‘I will not stay put if anything goes out of control.’‘That is if anything goes out of control.’‘I’ll have your back.’ Once I got my wolf’s a
Amelia’s point of view:Feeling his eyes burning holes in the back of my head, I quickened my pace.I exhaled freely once I turned around the corner and stepped back into town, the place where civilians like me live. I did not even realize I had been holding my breath.I could feel his eyes on my ass the whole way until I turned the corner. He must be sick in the head if he thought I would go anywhere with him.I ran the remaining distance back to my apartment building. I hastily keyed in the code to open my apartment door. Closing my eyes, I sighed and leaned my back against the door once I was safely inside.I glanced at the clock. It was one in the morning. I spent ten hours out there in that forest, ten whole hours which changed my life overnight.That forest has so much stuffs going on. How come the locals around here are so oblivious to it? Either they are ignorant or those creatures know perfectly well how to ca
Amelia’s point of view: While returning back home the next day, I frowned when I noticed a black figure looming by my apartment. Feeling a burst of anger through my chest, I decided that enough was enough. Without wasting a second, I screamed and dashed towards the figure that froze like a deer caught in headlights. I grabbed the sides of his waist in a hip-lock and knocked him off his feet. I glanced down at him when he grunted out in pain while gripping his right arm. Feeling a pain shot up my right arm, I hissed. I stared at Alejandro in shock when he lifted the hood off his head. “It’s you!” I grimaced when his face twisted in pain. “I’m so sorry.” I exclaimed. “It serves you right.” I whispered through gritted teeth. My breath hitched as he swiftly looked up at me. Did he hear me? Impossible! I got rid of that thought. I held out a hand to help him up but he adamantly hoisted himself back on his fee
Alejandro’s point of view: I kept thinking about Amelia… her scent, her voice, her sassiness, damn it! I was screwed! After I’d been to her place the other night, I couldn’t stop thinking about her. I wish to have her here with me, to feel her, to love her. I craved the way she tasted. My wolf wouldn’t let me breathe in peace. We both can’t seem to be able to stay away from our mate. I shouldn’t have let her go back to that town. ‘Glad to know you’ve realized that.’ Leo groaned. ‘Don’t you dare start again!’ I warned my wolf. He boldly growled back but before I could tell him anything, he withdrew back to the back of my mind. That was his personal space. And, I wasn’t allowed to disturb him there. I would do anything to have Amelia here with me. Then, maybe my wolf wouldn’t be so pissed off and moody all the time. But, she’d already made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with me. I can’t believe I’m letting a human control me. She’s m
Amelia's point of view: I was humming to my favorite song while washing the dirty dishes after dinner before calling it a night. I was exhausted. “Yeah, I’m gonna take my horse to the old town road I’m gonna ride til I can’t no more…” I used the scrubber as a mic as I sang along. Once I was done cleaning the kitchen, I sunk down into my comfortable chair in the living room. I sighed in relief before removing my earphones. I sat upright in alert when I heard a noise from outside my apartment. It almost felt like something was being moved roughly against the hard surface of the door from outside. I swear to God if it was that so-called gorgeous man who called himself the Lycan King, I… I… What would I do again? I stood up and walked to my front door. I was trying so hard not to let that little fear I felt growing within me but it was quite evident in my hesitant steps. Am I really letting whatever might be at the
