Bride of the Beast Chapter One
“Once again, we gather here to commemorate the festival of the beast. As we all know, this tradition is what preserves us a pack and these brave women who gave up everything for their people will forever be immortalised in our hearts…”I was one in about a million wolves who had gathered here tonight for this bullshit.The only reason I was at this cursed place was because Sam practically begged me to go. Everything about the ceremony irked me immensely, but my brother insisted that disobeying the government of the Village — the High Table— would only earn our family their heads. This was a festival in preparation for the Night of the Chosen. According to tradition, on the Night of the Chosen, all the members of the Wolf Village were ordered by the High Table and Council members to come together to pay respect to the beast and all the lives it had taken for the past thousands of years. It was ironic and pretty dumb to me how the entire village worshipped this imaginary evil creature
Bride of the Beast Chapter Two
Mornings were usually peaceful and quiet around here but today was not like every other day. The sobs and loud cries coated with lamenting kept me awake all night. The birds werent singing the humming of insects couldn’t be heard and even the wind whistling around the trunks made the air seem more toxic.Many curled up with their family having ther last Goodbyes with tears streamed down their eyes even the greatest broke down and shattered into pieces. It was only just a matter of mintues before families were going to go there different ways leaving one of their own to die because of a stupid Traditions which has managed to be made supreme over all, crippling the hands of many and forcing them into total defeat over a meaningless superstition. How the thought of this sickened me but I had to admit I myself was scared nevertheless not about the fictitious beasts but the lingling question on my mind on why none of the girls never came back home but I guess I would have to find that ou
Bride of the Beast Chapter Three
I didn't have any time to think, before my eyes, the impossible was happening. We had been left tied in the forest, one of the girls was crying and praying to the moon goddess to rescue us. I had never been so scared in my life, there’s no such thing as a beast, theres’s no such thing as a beast, theres’s no such thing as a beast was all i could keep saying in my head to hold it together. “D-do you guys…hear that?” Someone whispered, I think it was dennis.“Y-yeah…” It was faint but something was coming towards us. “Maybe someone has come to save us,” said Mary and I scoffed.“Yeah sure, the pack would come untie us.” But maybe she was right, another pack might have been freeing the other girls who were sacrificed . We needed hope to survive. I hated it, I was desperate for hope. “Yes, probably,” I agreed with a sigh. I heard the sound of twigs breaking and a shrill howl. Something was coming towards us, when suddenly—“you guys, relax, it’s just a plain wolf.” We all let out a s
Bride of the Beast Chapter Four
The beast's eyes glittered in the split second it took for our gazes to lock before the fur snapped back around his pale skin and he bounded towards me, the slap of his footfalls on the cave’s stone floor loud enough that it froze me in place.“Get away from me! No! I am not going back there! Mmph!” I screamed wildly, pumping my legs as hot hands encircled my midriff and lifted me from the floor.This was it, this was the day Nola Reynolds would die. Sam had always said it was my curiosity that’d do me in the end. The blood pounded hot in my ears as my heart beat a jagged dirge, but the beast remained silent. I felt a wave of vertigo hit as he carted me off into the deep slanted shadows, through a hidden corridor I hadn’t seen before. “Stop! Where are you taking me?” I shrieked, unable to control the note of fear in my voice. I didn’t want him to think I was frightened of him! It was the one thing uncle Ben taught us- Sam and me after our parents died.“Round these here parts, fea
Bride of the Beast Chapter Five
The rattling of the door knob had me hissing awake just in time for it to fly open and the silver eyes of the man to find me curled up on the bed.“What, you won’t even knock?” I snickered and watched his eyes travel downwards to my splayed legs. I slapped them closed, but it was already too late, the heat blooming on my cheeks as his face darkened and could have made an omelette special.“Girl can’t even get some privacy in her cell.” I harrumphed, but it fell flat when he ignored me to drop the tray on a small bedside vanity I hadn’t noticed the night before. There were bulbs fitted on the walls of the cave and a glass roof ceiling. I made several mental face-palms. Of course, he’d have more livable conditions for his inmates, he’d been doing this for thousands of years! The sky had probably been too dark for me to notice the other night as I watched him flick one of the bright white fluorescents on before his grey eyes met mine again and I inhaled sharply.The man-because he was
Bride of the Beast Chapter Six
I could tell the man standing on the other side of the door was still there. I held a shaky breath and twisted on the narrow bunk of the prisoner's bed to look at the imposing frame of the door.I hadn’t heard his footsteps receding, was he waiting to hear what I’d do? I cleared my throat, but the lump was still there.“Hey beast, say, won’t be bad to get a couple more furniture in here ya know?” I croaked, fiddling with the frayed ends of the linen blanket and craning my neck.Silence.Great, what did I have to lose? Besides my head and a few choice limbs? Nothing but a farthing child.“Reckon I could use a restroom too, getting kinda cramped in my bladder you see, wouldn’t want to piss on your highness’ bed and all.” I finished, hesitating. He couldn’t have known I’d seen the tin bucket with the broken lid he’d kept under the bed. I was a pure breed wolf, we did not piss in buckets.There was shuffling on the other side of the door and the sounds of footsteps fading. I sagged visi
Bride of the Beast Chapter Seven
Nola ReynoldsI caught the look of surprise that crossed his face when I whizzed past him, feeling my bones snap and elongate as I shifted to land heavily on all fours, tongue lolling.There was silence behind me before the Lycan gave a horrible, drawn-out howl and I could hear the sounds of bones shifting and snapping into place.I took the first cut I could find, my eyes better adjusted as a wolf, in the dark cave, yelping in pain when a stalactite brushed too close to my hide.Why wasn’t he chasing me? I had to find a way out of here! I felt the hammer of foreboding drop on my heart just before I bounded to a stop right in front of an angry-looking man that was still easily twice the size of my wolf. “Wha- how did you?” I gasped, making confused animal noises.“What do you have to say for yourself, Nola?” He ground through clenched teeth, folding his hands over the soft-looking wool of his cashmere sweater. I could make out the defined muscles of his chest even in the dark. I wh
Bride of the Beast Chapter Eight
Hector“You fucking bitch ass….fucking Lycan warrior lunatic!” Nola’s raspy scream came before she flew up to meet me, seeming to think better of it and sitting back down.I arched an eyebrow at her theatrics as if to say ‘Yeah, that’s what I thought.’“You’re getting very out of control Nola. Pounding on doors and stomping around like a maverick, when all my workers want to do is sleep.” I grunted, dropping the tray on the wide bronze stool beside the high canopy bed where the girl was sitting like a princess.“Wait, you have workers here?” She gasped, the milky white mounds of her chest rising and falling passionately.Stop looking at her fucking chest Hector, goddammit!“Yes,” I said cryptically, watching the wheels in her little head go round and round…round and round. I damned if I could get that fucking nursery rhyme out of my head.Nola looked like she was planning something, probably trying to find the workers.I hoped she didn’t, for her own sake. Some of my workers were hung
