Chapter 1 A Doll

Autor: Aluo
"Dammit!" I slammed the file onto the table and plopped into my chair, disheveled. Another project snagged by that bastard, Nathaniel Gray!

He was my best friend when we were kids. We spent all the time together, but then he went overseas and took over his family's business after he came back. I took over my family's company at the same time.

The first thing he did was fight me for a project instead of catching up with me, though. Up until now, he'd sniped a lot of projects that should've been mine. I cursed him.

My assistant came in. "Mr. Gray's in the waiting room, ma'am."

That bastard had the nerve to see me? I laughed mirthlessly and stomped over to the waiting room. But before I went in, I kept my fury down and held up my composure, then I opened the door.

"You made it." Nathaniel was on the couch, his legs crossed loosely, and he gave me a smirk.

I clenched my teeth. "You should be celebrating, Mr. Gray. What are you doing at my dingy company? To offer your apology?"

"Apology?" Nathaniel's smirk turned into a mocking smile. "You're delusional." He stood up and approached me. "If you don't have the aptitude for management, Ms. Birch, I suggest you don't push yourself."

He stood before me and said coolly, "Hand me your company, and I'll make both our businesses stronger!"

That arrogance made me nauseous. My face fell, and I grabbed his collar in a huff. That made him bend down. "Don't get too cocky, Nathaniel. One of these days, I'll buy out your company!"

He chortled and breathed in my face. "Keep dreaming." He sneered in disdain. "Try your best."

My resentment burned until bedtime. I was in my bed, deep in sleep when a blinding light woke me up. That was curious. I wondered if I'd left the lights on. I wanted to hold my hand over my eyes, but then I realized something.

I couldn't move my arms!

And this room was obviously not mine!

A low, hoarse voice echoed right beside me. "Hey, babe."

I looked at the guy. He was wearing a towel around his waist, revealing his sturdy chest, with water droplets rolling down his skin. Nathaniel.

  • Beastbound   Chapter 11 Another Perspective

    "I'm glad you possessed the doll, babe. I couldn't imagine… Yeah, God decided to bless me. I know I've hurt you." He caressed my body, feeling my old pain. Then he handed me the power to hurt him. "You can do anything you want to me."Our fingers entwined with one another, and we basked in each other's warmth. "I love you, babe. Forever."…Nathaniel's POV:I've loved Nancy since I was little, and I loved to follow her everywhere. I wanted to be with her forever.Then one day, my parents told me I was a beastfolk, not human. I was a snake. Because of that, I pulled away from Nancy, worried that she would hate me for what I really was.To keep my beastfolk instinct under control and manipulate my forms, I went overseas. A professional team would help me train out there.Her photos were the only thing that relieved me of my longing for years. They kept me hanging in there.…When I came back, I found out she had a lot more friends, almost like she'd live happily even without m

  • Beastbound   Chapter 10 Wedding

    I woke up the next morning to my body groaning in soreness. I thought I'd been broken into tiny pieces. Nathaniel was lying beside me, his lashes fluttering."Wake up. I know you're not asleep anymore."Nathaniel opened his eyes awkwardly. He gave me a glance and hung his head low. There was embarrassment in his eyes. "I'm sorry for what I did last night. You know I've always loved you."He swore solemnly, "I can take responsibility for this, if you're fine with it."If I didn't know better, I'd have been fooled by this side of him. However, I ignored him and pulled the sheets closer around me. Then, I got out of bed to get my phone. Yep, it was dead, but I knew it'd gotten a lot of evidence.Nathaniel realized what I had in mind the moment I grabbed my phone. He was no longer the shy boy he was a moment ago. Now, he was staring at my phone darkly. "So, you only did it to catch my tail on camera?"I nodded. "Now you get it. I—"He interrupted me. "It's okay, Nancy." He got o

  • Beastbound   Chapter 9 Drink

    Nathaniel walked straight into the living room and pulled bottles of wine out to chug. He was trying to forget his sorrows, perhaps. And the guy could never hold his liquor well.Moments later, his cheeks were already a rosy shade. He looked at me, his eyes glassy but alluring. "You should go."I did not. I stood around for a while, waited until he was actually drunk, then I started searching his room. There must be proof of his beastfolk identity there. His shed, his scales, anything.I scoured every single inch and turned everything around. I even rifled through his trash bin, but nothing came up. 'What is he, a clean freak?'Something rustled in the living room. Nathaniel was coming! That made me panic, and I searched frantically for a place to hide. My eyes eventually rested on the doll, and I got an idea.Nathaniel was always with the doll when he was in his snake form. Maybe…The idea seized me. I charged ahead, grabbed the doll, and stuffed it in the wardrobe. Then I wiped

  • Beastbound   Chapter 8 Confession

    A gasp escaped my lips. When I saw who it was, fury flared within me. Thanks to Nathaniel, my whole body had been covered in bruises as of late.Now he was even stopping me from cleaning my nosebleed. The blood was already caked on my face. I'd had it with him!"What the hell are you doing here, and are you out of your mind?"Nathaniel kept me pinned with his hands, and his eyes turned amber, serpentlike. Darkness swirled within, and his face was twisted. "Why don't you take a guess? Haven't you ever wondered why I kept messing with you, why I stalked you, and why I kept my eyes on you?"His aura was imposing, oppressive. My eyes kept darting around, and then a thought hit me. "Is it something I should know?""Very well, then." He laughed mirthlessly and dragged me out of the restroom. "I'll show you why I did all that!"He dragged me into his car unceremoniously and slammed the gas pedal. The car zoomed down the road, while I sat frozen in the passenger seat, an ominous feel

    His kisses were fierce and unrelenting. "How can you not love me, babe? I don't know how much longer I can hold on."When his lips landed on the corner of my eye, his switch flipped again, and his eyes turned crimson. "I've given you a beauty mark, but you still don't look like her!"My neck snapped. A stab of pain came from my throat, and the doll was now neckless. My head rolled on the ground like a ball, and it stopped.Nathaniel did not stop torturing the rest of the body, and the noises he made sounded eerie in an otherwise quiet night.The boys were suffering in their relationship, and I had to take the beating instead. I was not a part of their kink! I was abused over a beauty mark?Wait a minute. Before I fell unconscious again, I realized something. Samuel didn't have a beauty mark at the corner of his eye.…When I woke up the next morning, new wounds appeared on my body. Unbelievable, but I'd endure it for a while longer. Nathaniel would pay eventually."Nancy! Hey

  • Beastbound   Chapter 6 Help Out

    That was his excuse for messing with me and sniping my projects? Now, I saw Samuel in a worse light. He was every bit as mad as Nathaniel.Though I was smiling, I was cursing inside. "It's okay. This won't get in the way of my friendship with Nathaniel, but I won't accept this!"If those two started dating, they would also have a business partnership. I could never have a place in that kind of world. "We were best friends, Samuel. Help me out."'At least wait until my company's strong enough before you two confess,' I thought. I held back my agitation and grabbed Samuel's hand, genuine plea in my eyes. "Please, do it for me."I said nothing more, but I trusted that he would get it."I hear you!" He returned my hold with the same intensity. "I can see you really hate it. I know what I must do."I nodded happily. …That night, I slept soundly, but when I opened my eyes, I found myself in Nathaniel's room again. For some reason, my head was spinning, my mind was a mess, and even
