Larsen gasped when he was bumped into; frown slowly crept onto his handsome face looking at his stained shirt, but when he looked at who bumped into him, his eyes softened. His lips parted as his eyes bored into hers before looking at her face as a whole, and he bit his inner lips hard to restrain himself from bursting into laughter. The urge to burst into laughter was something he hadn't had for years, but looking at her funny and weird face and her whole mouth covered in sauce.He looked at her hands and exhaled in disbelief, they were both full of meat." What are you doing? Elora."This was the first time he had ever called her by her name, and it made her heart skip so hard.'OMG! I've been caught, will this put Isha in trouble? Oh no! I'd just lie that I stole it,' she said in her mind dropping her gaze nervously." Um. I ..I..," she stuttered but he cut her short by suddenly pulling her out of the way and out of the guard's sight, shielding her petite body with his.He remaine
His dancing finger with pen halted over the files on the table, his gaze fixed on the white paper, but his lost eyes couldn't take out a word like he was in a daze with his pink lips slightly parted.His thoughts were no longer on the important document before him; his mind had wandered off, and he couldn't fight it the moment it landed on the image of her eyes that flashed across his mind.He remembered that day, the first day she stood before him seething, her strength, her defiance, her laughter that screams pain. His heart feels cold in a strange way remembering it; he couldn't sentence her; the urge to watch over her, the feeling to hide her away from the eyes of all that wants her dead washed over him, and ever since, he knew she was a trouble, a trouble he had to avoid.Her outbursts, her cries, her words that were always laced with either hatred or pain, he couldn't shake it off his mind, but when he remembered her anger, her funny face when swearing at him, he had no idea whe
Magnus swallowed nervously, afraid Larsen had caught him. A minute ago, his heart was racing out of excitement and curiosity that he has a mate and she's close but now it's racing out of anxiety." What are you doing?" Larsen asked as he stood beside him, looking below at the slaves that had begun to disperse. His eyes searched around for Elora and soon caught her wrapping her arms around a pink-haired slave." I was carrying out your order," Magnus replied trying to sound as normal as possible.Larsen, whose attention was now on Elora, nodded his head without noticing the oddity in his tone. He watched them pull away from his other, two more slaves joining them, and his eyes caught something surprising. Her smile. She was smiling.He placed his hand on the balcony rail, looking closely in shock, and for the first time, assured that he wasn't dreaming or hallucinating; she was indeed smiling. Grinning ear to ear at the pink-haired lady who was laughing.How beautiful her smile was mad
Larsen was heading toward the study room when he got information about him having a guest, which made him change his direction and head toward the sitting room instead." The devil himself," Kesler praised as he watched him ascend the stairs.Larsen scoffed.Feeling his aura that's so intimidating, his charm, and the way he carries himself is something Kesler envied so much about him. Larsen's handsomeness is unlike any wolf he's ever come across; his features and personality are likewise unlike anyone except for Harper, the man who controls hell, but even he doesn't have the kind of aura Larsen carries around with him.Harper is manipulative and cunny, but Larsen is smart and intelligent; their difference is huge, but anyone can easily assume Larsen to be the Alpha of all Alphas. That's how powerful and intimidating he is." To whom do I owe this visit," Larsen's deep voice nearly gave him the chills " Hasn't it been a long time? The last competition we had was the last time we saw
Elora's eyes widened in shock; this time, she wasn't upset that a price was placed on her; rather, she found it hard to close her parted lips or lower her gaze, which was fixed on Larsen. He looks so relaxed as if the amount he just called was nothing.Five hundred million dollars. For a slave?Elora felt her heart beating so fast, some emotions stirring up in her, she could feel the goosebumps and her fluttering stomach." Isn't that little? It would be higher than that if he knew a goddess resides within you," Naya said in her head, but Elora nearly screamed for her to shut up so she could think.Magnus and the other slaves looked at Larsen in shock before the slaves returned their gaze back to Elora and their eyes got covered in envy. They'd never heard of a slave being sold at such a high amount; it was always thousand dollars, but here she was, with the price of a hundred million dollars and not just a million, a five hundred million. Is she some sort of special goddess? And thei
"Why are you so quiet?."" Hm?" Elora was caught off guard for some seconds.~ He wants you to say something, thank him for what he did~ Naya said in her head." Why did you do it?"~ What?! You're supposed to thank him ~Larsen turned back at her, looking at her slender figure before him. " Why did I do what?"" Not sell me off."Larsen furrowed his brow, "Ain't you supposed to be thanking me? For not selling you off like some material?."~ I told her that~" Why should I thank you?" her words rendered both Larsen and Naya speechless, " isn't this one of your ways of making me feel like you own me? If you think this is going to earn my loyalty then you're wrong."Larsen chuckled softly. He wiped the corner of his lower lip slowly with his tongue before fixing his gaze on her, and slowly, he took steps closer to her." And does that make you feel like I own you?"" No, you don't own me, and I don't belong to you," she said sternly, her body trembling lightly as she watched his calcul
Magnus head back inside after seeing the angry Kesler off. He felt his phone buzzing in his pocket the third time and reached out for it. He looked at the screen to see the name ' Cassie ' displayed on it, and he swiped the screen up to answer." The Magnus of Wraith," her excited voice cooed over the phone causing him to smile," Hey Cassie,"" Miss me?"" Who wouldn't, exploring the business world has kept you away from us,"" It's not like that," she chuckled, " I've been busy with work and trying to convince my father that I'm capable of taking over the Moore corporation,"" I totally understand, hope you've been good?"" Yes, and guess what,"" What?"" I'm coming back home," she announced excitedly and Magnus chuckled," Wow, that's exciting. Does Larsen know?"" Of course he doesn't, I'm going to make it a surprise, I wanted to come to visit today but the sudden announcement made me move it to tomorrow,"" What announcement?"" Tomorrow is the blood moon,"" Are you just aware
The previous actions of Larsen weren't something Elia could disregard; his thought was fixed on Larsen's tone, body language, and eyes. Elia's drive to the clubhouse was a quiet one but with a busy mind. It moved from his brother to the slave who seems to be the center of it all, Elora. He admitted that she was a very beautiful she-wolf even with the little dirty slave gown, her unbrushed hair, and her plain face with no makeup. A little doll up on her, and she would transform into a goddess, but it wasn't her beauty that got him so curious and interested, but the mysterious things that surrounded her. Remembering clearly how his friend, Mathew, was so scared and worried about crossing part with her, and the next minute, he was stabbed to death by her. ' was it that it was my brother that ordered her to do it?' he questioned in his mind, ' no, it can't be; he wasn't even aware that he was around; then what happened between her and Matthew?.' ' Also, why did Larsen act like that? So
After the perilous yell, the kicks and punches stop. " Alpha," Amie called; her heart skipped as she hadn't planned for Larsen to catch her in the act, but her anger and hatred for Elora wouldn't make her stop." Are you out of your goddamn mind?!" he thundered and pushed her roughly away from Elora, surprising everyone present.If not for the assistance of the attendants who quickly caught her, she would've fallen hard on her butt.Larsen's wolf growled in rage as it looked at Amie, feeling so much anger that it wanted to tear her apart and everyone who had laid hands on her." Hey! Hey," Elora heard his baritone voice call as his hand pulled her up gently from the floor.Larsen's blood boils looking at her body full of bruises; her hair was so messy and covering her face. He worriedly brushed the hair off her face with his fingers, and his heart sank, looking at her face full of cuts and bruises.He gritted his teeth and glared at Amie." What the fuck do you think you were doing?"
Austin watched her stride towards him in the sitting room, dressed in a blue short and black singlet with her hair packed in a ponytail shape, looking all normal with no hint of madness, which amazed Austin even more.' damn, clothes indeed hide lots of things, my moony,' he exclaimed in his mind.Elora nodded slightly as she stood in front of him not knowing what to say or do." Do you need anything?" he asked," No, no," she waved quickly.~ what do you mean by no? We're starving ~ Naya shouted in her head." A moon goddess like you sure knows how to yell and shout and scream," she whispered to herself knowing Naya would hear her." What do you say?" Austin asked not hearing a thing except 'moon goddess '" No, nothing,"" Would you like anything? To eat?"" No, I'm fine currently,"~ are you kidding me? We're not in a fasting period ~" You sure?" " Okay," Elora gave in, seems like both Naya and Austin were determined to frustrate her soul till she took in something, " please some
No matter which side she turns to, the sun that scorches through the room seems determined to heat her awake. Elora groaned as she grabbed the duvet and dragged it above her head but she wasn't feeling comfortable enough to sleep back that way." fine..you succeed," she groaned against the pillow and pushed the duvet down." Ahh! Holy moon shit!" she yelled as she jumped up in fright when she opened her eyes to see ..Austin?" What are you doing here?" she yelled at him as she quickly wrapped herself up with the duvet, eyeing him from head to toe with her face contoured with deep frown.Her startled chest was pounding so hard against her ear." Good morning Miss Elora, pardon my manners, I didn't mean to startle you,"" May I know your reason for being here?"" My lord, the Alpha, instructed me to watch over you,"" Watch over me or spy on me?" her frown deepened.' did he think I was going to try to escape after what he did last night? He shouldn't worry, I've already made up my mind
" I'm not going to scream, but what the heck!" she said, almost whispering, some of the words nearly inaudible.Magnus heaved a sigh of relief still laying on her. He has never been this relief in his entire life." What are you doing? I know you want me to accept you but do you think following me around and trying to do what? Will make me accept you?."Magnus furrowed his brow in confusion, wondering why she was so scared and nervous. Vicky's heart was pounding so hard against her chest and with her mate laying on top of her, she could feel heat building from her fluttering stomach.His masculine scent was too close this time, driving her head in an unknown direction; her palm got sweaty, and the temptation to touch his muscles feeling against her shoulder.She swallowed hard while she tried to avoid gazing into his eyes so as not to lose her resolve. Her craving for that one person to love and care for her, her desire for a companion and a partner, gradually getting rekindled.No Vi
This is very strange, where are all the guards? She looked around and sniffed the air, but there was indeed no scent of a guard hiding anywhere close.Something is definitely wrong.She quickly went after the one she was trailing, she jumped back when her quick steps nearly bumped into his presence. She hid behind a pillar, waiting for a second to take a peep.|Magnus|Magnus couldn't close his parted lips when he saw the hidden ground behind a door. He thought he was just going into a room that only Elia had access to, but after waiting for some seconds, he held and twisted the knob to see it wasn't locked.He slowly opened the door hoping the door doesn't make any creaking sound as he stepped inside. His jaw dropped at the sight before his eyes, behind the door is a stairs leading downward to an underground.A secret underground? For what?He slowly walked down the stairs, clinging to the wall so he wouldn't be easily sighted and unaware of the figure hiding behind him as well.Fin
" what do you mean?"" I don't trust you,"" But you trust him?"" No, but at least he has a motive; he is ready to make amendments for his mistakes and wouldn't hurt me."Hurt me. The word slaps him hard across the face." You don't need him,"" He's going to get justice for Scarlett, everyone is going to know the truth,"" It isn't justice you want, it's revenge,"" That'll only put me in more trouble and danger, I might get killed if I get caught killing anyone again."" Do whatever you want; kill whoever you want; I'll be your alibi."The rigidness and unwavering tone and stare, the look in his eyes when he said that wrapped her soul in the feeling of protection and her heart melt, but with that, her head felt the battle of confusion within her mind.He got up from the bed when she said no more and covered her legs with the duvet." Get some sleep, it's late," he said and made to leave," Stop confusing me?," she said running her fingers through her blonde hair and her face covere
" my beautiful pup, hmm muah! You're so adorable," her giggling voice said as she rubbed her face against his chubby, cute face.Larsen chuckled, his face full of smiles, " I miss you so much mum," his excited voice telling her exactly how much he had missed her. He hugged her, wrapping his little arms around her.Larsen clenched his fist hard as the next memory he had of her was her hand dripping with blood, and the look on her face. The memories he couldn't shove away, the memories that couldn't be buried but just live with it. The feelings he felt that day were still raw and fresh; the anger, the disappointment, the fear, they flashed across his eyes, brewing another wave of anger in him as he angrily gulped down the seventh bottle of alcohol and yet didn't feel any ounce of tipsiness.His heart feels so heavy that anger radiates through his veins as he keeps remembering his mother's bloody hands and Damien's hand holding Elora's. If he sees Damien right this moment, he wouldn't he
Without giving room for a response, he turned around and grabbed Elora's wrist before dragging her along with him back to their suite while Damien stood still, with his blood boiling and he gave out a loud growl and grunt of anger and frustration. His breath rose and fell erratically.Amie watched from the corner, smirking in satisfaction, knowing she'd gotten into trouble; her wince confirmed it as Larsen dragged her with him. The fear on Elora's face gave Amie so much joy that her eyes flickered with so much relief and lifted her mood that made her want to hum a song.Elora winced in pain from Larsen's tight grip, but he was so furious that it sent shivers down her spine; his fury terrified her that she couldn't tell him that his grip hurt. How dare her! How dare her!!His mind was in an unrelenting turmoil. It was so unbelievable when Amie showed him the picture she took, but when she took him to the spot and had to see for himself, a fire was ignited in him.He clenched his fist
Elora was surprised as her eyes fell on him." Alpha Damien?" the call was almost a whisper," Elora," he called with a smile nudging in. He was pissed about how today went; the smiley look on Elora's face after the meeting ended taunted him that he made plans to have dinner with the Alpha, hoping to see her, but his anger even surged higher when his request was turned down.He was standing by the glassy wall, gazing out of the window and sipping his red wine after giving feedback on their plan to Elia when he saw her taking a walk.This is heaven presenting to him a chance and he wouldn't for anything let it pass." Taking a walk?" he asked, looking as she folded her arms beneath her breast.Without responding, she turned to walk away but he immediately blocked the way with his body." Are you avoiding me?"" Isn't that obvious?."His heart skipped and ached at the same time. She glared up at him.When would she ever look at him the same way he looks at her." For how long would you
