Caught In The Shadow King's Web Chapter 17: Night Swim.
Sera“Calm down Sera.” I admonished myself, taking in short gasps of air.I hit my chest softly with a curled fist for it to relax but it only thumped harder and more angry.I branched off the corridor leading to my bedroom and headed towards the glass patio doors.They were unlocked so I slipped through immediately grateful for the cold night air that whipped my face.Those damn elders! I gazed into the pool which was lit by the million stars overhead, Ajax annoying voice replaying in my head.‘My duty was to bring forth heirs’I wheeled my chair closer to the pool, a ball of heat rising in my tummy and wondered if I could go for a swim in my condition.I shouldn't try it.Ajax could inform the maids or guards not to save me and inform the Alpha and people of the tragic death of their Luna by morning.I bit my lips, staring quietly into the still pool and pondered on the idea of consummation.Mother used to tell me that she and father disliked each other during the early months of t

Sera“I can't do this, Zuri. I can't even concentrate!” I whined, feeling a strain around my wrists as they hoovered around the cup of water.“Try again! This is the simplest and only way I know you can use to activate your powers.If you can't manage this, then you're entirely useless.” She retorted.I bit my lips, a dark glare coming over my eyes which I immediately blinked off.My lips parted as I took in a deep whiff of dry air and exhaled slowly before placing my hand over the cup.Her instructions played in my head: visualize the power flowing through your bloodstream, gently moving towards the tip of your fingers.Imagine lifting the water from the glass with the powers and moulding it into a ball.Sounds simple enough except I could hardly visualize anything with the image of Alaric's dead parents room flashing through my head.Focus Sera! I bit my lips till I tasted blood, closed my eyes slowly and began to visualise.What would I love my power to look like? The colour assoc
Caught In The Shadow King's Web Chapter 15: House tour
Sera“How many years has this structure been in place?”We were now making our way back into the house after Sorrel had taken me for a quick tour through the gardens, the stables that raised a number of purebred horses, and a green house which he said belonged to Alaric's mom.Now my eyes were fastened to the gargoyles placed at the centre of the compound, spitting sparkling water from its mouth.“It dates back to the early hundreds. After years of being prosecuted by the rest of the world, the ancestors discovered this land, paid a healthy sum for it and named it shadow lair.”“Then werewolf refugees started arriving, gradually filling up the town below and the name was changed to Wolf Noir pack.” Sorrel explained.I leaned back into my chair, nodding slowly as I was wheeled up the ramp and to the patio.“Do you care to explore inside?” He asked.“Yes.” The guard pulled the door open and we weaved through.He started the tour from the numerous visitor rooms that lined the entry corr

Sera The air felt sucked out of the room. I couldn't move but I felt my body recoil from him.Warning bells chimed in my head, my breath hitched and a loud thumping echoed from my chest.It wasn't a question. He was sure of it. Did Zuri reveal herself by mistake? “Zuri..” I gasped inside.“I didn't. I'm as shocked as you are.” She answered.“You don't need to grill her. Her concealment is iron clad, just not iron clad enough against me.” Alaric answered and took my food in his hands.With gentle and firm fingers, he began to massage them, moving upwards then coming down again.“I don't know what you're talking about.” I answered and tried to pull my foot away.He slapped my hands off and continued massaging them.I could almost imagine the feeling of his fingers on my legs, limbing higher with each minute before trialing back down.Maybe this would restore feelings in my legs faster.“You don't have to lie, Sera.” He replied.“I'm not. I really don't know what you’re talking abou

SeraMorning came with only one thought in mind: Find something to keep myself busy with.Preferably something to keep out of Alaric’s sight and soothe my chest from the burning anger that still remained from the previous night.By the time a maid stepped into my room to help with my morning activities, I was already cleaned up and changed into workout pants, a tabletop with a tight fitted jacket around it.“Do I bring your breakfast here?” She asked as I stepped out of the bathroom wrapping my thick curly hair in a messy bun.“Don't bother. I'll let you know when I need it.Where is the workout room?” I inquired as I pulled a pair of sneakers from the shoe cabinet and proceeded to throw them on.“ At the end of the hallway, my Luna. I can take you there if you wish.”“There won't be any need for that.” I replied.Once my shoes were fitted on, I wheeled my chair out of the room and headed for the end of the hallway.All the workers of the palace seemed to be awake and going about thei

AlaricThe door locked softly behind me and within seconds a loud crash filled my ears alongside the shattering of glass.I pressed my back against the door, fist clenched, shadows flaring and my vision almost blurry.I listened to the hard thumping of her heart, could imagine her lips parted in anger as she stared murderously at the door.Her lips.I closed my eyes and relished the taste of her that still remained on mine, my eyes going dark and the shadows raging more wildly at the thoughts.She should have died in the cave.It could have been a better ending for her. Now, I didn't know anything was going to turn out.The one thing I had to make sure of, was for Sera to continue to hate me.In any way possible.Her hatred had to remain constant.I walked away from the door the minute her heart beat turned gentle and a soft snore filled the room.I made a show of walking through the corridor where I was bound to be seen by the servants who would in turn gossip about it and it'll reac

SeraI felt my bones freeze up at his words and searched his gaze in the mirror before us.A faint smile played at the edge of his lips as his fingers worked quickly and with expert precision to undo my corset.“What do you mean consummate, Alaric? I'm not ready for that.!” I shrieked and tried mov

SeraThe walk felt agonizingly slow.The woman who escorted me seemed to match her steps to the drop of the music.I clasped my hands in my lap, fingers twirling the silver bracelet around my wrists carefully as we closely approached the altar.Then I let my eyes wander to Alaric.I had felt his ey

SeraI gritted my teeth and curled my fingers around the wheels to stop us from moving.“I don't need your help. Just like I didn't need it earlier.” I choked out.“I know you don't. I'm just feeling generous.” He answered.I could almost hear the smile in his words.“Oh. One would have thought you

SeraThe memories of the past days were a blur. I could faintly recall being turned over in my sleep, the faint jab of pain that travelled through my body from my abdomen.The occasional times my eyes were glued to the ceiling; unseeing while spoonfuls of porridge was forced down my throat.Every t
