Contracted marriage with the Alpha Prince The trial (2)
Just as I contemplated my newfound metallic makeover, the ground beneath me stirred. Vines and plants erupted from the forest floor, wrapping around me in a surreal dance. I yelped, flailing as the tendrils squeezed my body like an overenthusiastic boa constrictor."Okay, Solana forest, I get it. You're the mystical guardian, and I'm the sacrificial snack. Very funny," I quipped, the panic in my voice masked by forced humor.The plants tightened their grip, and I felt a strange energy coursing through me. It wasn't pain, but a pulsating sensation, as if the forest itself was examining my very essence. I squirmed, unsure if this was part of the werewolf initiation or if I was starring in a particularly bizarre nature documentary.My fingers instinctively reached for the small silver locket around my neck, a keepsake from my childhood. "Hey, Dominique, long time no howl. Got a minute?" I addressed my inner wolf, expecting the usual surge of chatty commentary. However, instead of the ty

Trapped in this stifling room, my body immobilized, my pleas echoing against the walls like a desperate symphony. I'm not one to easily admit defeat, but in this hellish confinement, my frustration reached a boiling point. "Mom, for the love of all that's holy, let me go! Melissa's in danger, can't you see that?" I roared, every fiber of my being aching to break free. Henrietta, my composed and infuriatingly calm mother, stood on the other side of the door. Her gaze, unwavering, met mine through the narrow gap between the frame and the door itself. A twisted smile played on her lips, sending shivers down my spine. "Patience, Killian. Your beloved Mellisa will be fine. Just a little longer," she replied, as if orchestrating some cruel game. Frustration clawed at me, my hands involuntarily balling into fists. "Damn it, Mom! My mark is burning. She's in pain. Why are you doing this?" I seethed, the weight of helplessness bearing down on me like a vice. Henrietta, ever the enigma, regar

[Killian’s trial] The dagger cut a clean line into my wrist, and blood poured out. I couldn't help but marvel at the strangeness of the situation, even in the face of impending danger."I hope you appreciate the dramatic flair," I muttered to Mellisa, as if she could hear me amidst the arcane mystique of the ritual. Her limp form hung in my arms, the very essence of vulnerability, and I was determined to see her through this bizarre ordeal.Blood dripped from my wrist, painting a crimson tableau in the air. With a firm resolve, I pulled Mellisa closer and encouraged her to drink the blood."I always dreamed of a romantic date, but this is not what I had in mind," I quipped, my attempt at humor an odd counterpoint to the gravity of our predicament. The blood continued to flow, weaving a macabre dance in the air before it met Mellisa's lips.The crimson liquid, our makeshift elixir, worked its peculiar magic. I watched as it cascaded over Mellisa's form, washing away the malevolent sil

In the midst of a heated exchange, George, his voice thundering with authority, berated Henrietta for her meddling ways, accusing her of driving both Killian and Mellisa to the brink of destruction with her relentless interference. "You've gone too far this time, Henrietta! Your incessant meddling has brought nothing but chaos to our family," he exclaimed, his frustration palpable.Henrietta, undeterred by George's reproach, fired back with a sharp retort. "Lane is nothing but a commoner, a mere opportunist," she countered, her tone laced with disdain. "Once Killian ascended to his rightful position as alpha, she'd do nothing but leech off the Anderson name, offering little in return."“And when did you decided that?” “The moment I saw her.” As George shook his head in disbelief, he brandished a stack of papers before Henrietta, each page filled with damning information meticulously gathered through his own investigations. "You're wrong, Henrietta. Dead wrong," he asserted, his voic

"Is there a 'Sorry for Betraying You' card in there, too?"Collin, took a step forward, determined to make his case."It's not all my fault, you know?"

She locked eyes with Collin, her expression saying, "Let's hear it then."Collin, searching for the right words, continued, "Mel neglected me. She was always busy with her jobs and her mom's surgery.

Meanwhile, the astute Lauren, Killian's cousin, observed the scene with a wry smile, choosing to remain silent. She had seen her fair share of family disputes, and this particular disagreement seemed to amuse her more than anything.Just as the tension reached its peak, Dana Serpentine, with her signature enigmatic smile, sauntered over, a hint of sarcasm lingering in her gaze. "Well, well, what do we have here?"Dana couldn't help but recall the days when Killian, now entangled with an outsider, had been a frequent visitor to her home, captivated by her older sister, Annstasia.
