It was getting dusk already. Elora wasn't as excited as others who got selected to go on board, to the cruise ship; she looked at the new maid uniform in her hand; it was better looking than the slave cloth she was wearing. It was of black and white color, the apron tied around the waist, the collar, and the tip of the gown hand were of white color. She looked at the nine others that are quickly changing into the new clothes with excitement." Why aren't you changing?" Vicky nudges." Nothing," she shook her head and began to undress.Ten slaves working in the mansion were hand-picked to work at the ship tonight; they did not pick any of the slaves that were meant to serve the Alphas alone, which was a disadvantage to those slaves as every slave dreamt about celebrating the night on the cruise and they envied those picked.They would be going on board to serve the elite that'll be at the VIP section, tend to their needs, serve them, and run errands, so Elora didn't find a reason to be
She heard Naya in her head, but she couldn't move; she couldn't do anything with her eyes fixed on her father. Elora has imagined this moment a thousand times—what she would say, how she would act, how she'd yell, what she'd ask him, how she'd scream or break down. But now, standing before the man who had stolen the life of her mother, the man who had stained her childhood love and memories with blood and betrayal, she felt… nothing. And everything. All at once.Elora felt a storm brewed in her chest, violent and suffocating, hatred crawled through her veins like fire, scathing every cell in her body. Her heart pounded erratically as if it couldn't decide between shattering or bursting into flames. She could still hear the whimpers of that night, all over again, replaying so clearly and vividly like it happened the day before—the shaking legs of her mother pinned to the floor, the hands of her best friend pinning her legs, and the image of his father when he strangled her. The images
Now it was Larsen's turn to be confused. He stared back at her in the not-so-bright room, squatting close to her enough to hear her words that were almost like whispers." Why are you confusing me?" she asked feeling so exhausted." How am I confusing you?" he asked back genuinely," I don't know, I don't if to hate you or not, I don't know if you're innocent or not, one minute you're soft, the next, you're the most annoying alpha ever,"" I thought you hated me. You've hated me from day one, so how come you don't know if to hate me," he asked in a soft tone that was almost seducing her." I misunderstood you, I thought you ordered the game that killed many werewolves the second day I arrived,"" Seriously? And you hated me because of that?"" Not only that, but you're also very annoying," she said looking away, " and why did you bring me here?"" Looks like you needed it,"" How did you know that?"" It was written all over you,"" Why did you care?."Larsen sighed from the questions
Kesler and Damien cheered to the moon, sitting beside each other at the well-covered round table. Every werewolf was in a celebratory mood; howls and low yips were indistinct to their ears as they were both concealed in their thoughts. A lot of werewolves have gathered at Kesler's pack to celebrate, including Damien, who looked forward to the day he'll rank higher, and werewolves would also come to his pack to celebrate the moon. " I can't shake him out of my mind, Damien," Kesler began, " the humiliation, his tone and eyes, I'm not going to let this go," " I already had the feeling it wasn't going to be easy, but never had the idea he was going to be that ridiculous," " He just didn't want to sell her, or he's just wanting to assert his domination and authority like he always does, that arrogant scum," Kesler gritted his teeth and clenched his fist, the thought of the humiliation causing his blood to boil each time he recollects. " Because of him, I can't seem to enjoy the night,
Her beauty is nothing like Elora's; neither does she have anything in common with her other than the blonde hair. He couldn't keep his mind off Elora, her pure and innocent face and smiles, her fierce character that was so unique and interesting. He missed her; he missed her so much that it made him angry.Why did she have to do that? Why did she have to ruin everything they'd built just like that as if it meant nothing to her?It makes him angry, it makes his blood boil, and he wants to do everything to make her regret making him feel this way.He trailed his thumb through Moraine's cheeks, that's so smooth and ran his eyes over her face; though she was not as beautiful as his Elora, he couldn't deny she was also a goddess herself." You're beautiful," his husky voice whispered as his thumb landed on her lips that parted slightly upon his touch.They locked eyes and stared into the lust that gradually consumed them. Moraine blinked her eyes, clearing her throat and she moved her face
Elora headed back to the mansion to carry out her duty; this time, she entered the room without feeling nervous about facing Larsen. She entered the room without knocking and met him checking himself out in the mirror, all dressed in black trousers and a shirt." Oh," she mouthed, not expecting to see him still in the room, " good morning, Alpha."She greeted, and he turned towards her and looked away coldly without giving a response. Elora pouted, not understanding why he did not respond. She made to start cleaning the room when her toe bumped into the wooden edge of the bed." Ouch!!," she winced, grabbing her toe that felt like it was about to come off." Stupid," Larsen uttered and exited the room without paying her a second glance.Elora exclaimed in disbelief. She scoffed, and her face furrowed deeply in a frown." Didn't I tell you? He's such a jerk," she fumed, " what exactly did I do this time? I didn't look for trouble, so why didn't he answer me? Why is he so cold?" she ne
Elora walked into the study room after Larsen, she stood with her arms folded beneath her breast while she glared across the room at him.Larsen sat quietly behind his study desk before finally looking up at her to ask if she slept well when he saw her murderous glare fixed on him." Why are you frowning?"" None of your business."A disbelief scoff escaped from his lips as he heard her cold, angry response. She looked away from him angrily." Did you just say none of my business?"" Why? Is it?" she looked at him giving him a weird angry expression," Some nerves you've got there."She looked away still frowning." I asked you a damn question," he asked, his baritone voice getting more rigid," Why should I answer you?" she turned back at him, shaking her head as she spoke with a mockery expression, turning her eyes and her nose moving funnily, "Why are you frowning? Who was the one frowning this morning? You refused to answer my greeting and even called me stupid so it's none of you
Hour after hour, after minutes of thorough body scrubbing, pedicure and manicure was done, painting of the nails with fine paint, drying the hair and styling it more beautifully, applying some light makeup on her, and finally clothing her in a very beautiful black gown with silver beads adorned on it. It was an off-the-shoulder dress with a simple cut to the thigh; the dress fitted her body, displaying her shape to the waist region.After sliding her feet into the silver t-strap peep-toe platform heels and putting on silver earrings, a full-standing mirror was placed in front of her to check herself out." Is it to your standard?" the stylist asked cautiously.Elora gasped, looking at herself in the mirror; she knew she was always a beautiful lady, but this look she was staring at was on another level. She looked breathtaking, stunning to earth.~ holy moon! Is this my vessel?~ Naya asked after exclaiming.Elora's hand slowly moved towards her face as she stared at the mirror with par
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
