The beast stood before her mother towering her , the frighten woman did nothing but cried out for help but no one came. Why? Because the environment was very quiet and rural
Isabella peeped from the corner she hide and watched helplessly as the beast rip her mothers throats open with his sharp fangs then the beast gradually changed to his human form. Slowly, very slowly bringing his fangs which by now has turned to human's finger and was dripping thick blood to his mouth.
He shut his eyes in great passion as the blood slide down his throat. He stiffled after a while suddenly , turning to where Isabella was hiding.
He must have heard her quiet sob. With her heart pounding loudly in her ears the beast walk towards her hiding place slowly. He pull her out with a smirk making Isabella yell out loudly.
She woke up to look around fearfully. Joyce ran into her room in Haste.
" Issy , are you okay? " She asked walking to the bed.
Isabella breath out shakily in fear. She turn to her best friend.
" I need to visit Hayden, he must have the answer to my questions " She said bolting to the door. Joyce stop her from going out with a concerned look on her face.
" You mean Hayden dark? " She asked in surprise and Isabella nodded trembling in fear. Joyce noticed her state so she pull her closer for a hug. " It's only a dream issy, besides why would you want to meet the leader of beasts family? He isn't someone you can just meet up anytime you like " Joyce told her friend after she pull her away from her embrace.
Isabella sighed deeply to get herself calm.
" He is the one father wants me to marry "
Joyce froze " you are kidding... Right? " She asked but Isabella didn't reply in words but with her expression joyce believe her. She gasp " Hayden dark isn't uh... Someone who could marry you. As far as i know he never like humans although he help them whenever they call for help "
Isabella stood up from the bed to pace about." I don't know why but his image just keep appearing before me. I think I'm going crazy and then this nightmare " She stop suddenly to face her friend who stood with confused look.
" Joyce, i met Hayden's father yesterday at the annual event. The man was the one i always dream about "
Joyce shifted on her feet sluggishly thinking.
" You mean the one you said ripped open your mum's throat to lick her blood ? " She asked disgustedly.
" Yes, i can't just wrap my head around it. I think they are some Beasts who care for humans blood "
" But that is absurd, sorry issy i believe you ... Alright but pride dark , Hayden's father won't do something like that. He has been very helpful when he was the leader... Remember? "
" I know but i still don't ... Oh and Hayden i felt ... " Frustration doesn't allow her to complete her words before she flopped unto the tiles tiredly.
" Let's find out then " Joyce suggested all of a sudden and Isabella raised up her head to stare at her.
" Find out what? "
" If pride is the one who killed your mother. Hayden could tell how anyone feel when he applied his paranormal sense. He can do that to his father "
Isabella forehead creased in awe.
" He has an ability like that ? "
Joyce rolled her eyes impatiently.
" Of course, since you don't listen to the Beasts news i won't blame you. "
Isabella sighed dejectedly.
" I couldn't help but get jealous when i saw him with a woman last night. He must have picked up the feelings "
Joyce smile brightly.
" Do not forget the one you went to a fishing trip with. I thought you said you felt something for him "
Isabella hang her head then, letting her hair to fall over her face before getting on her feet sluggishly.
" He is the one " She whispered to her friend who cocked up an eyebrow.
" Which one ? "
" The guy that goes with me on a fishing trip is none other than the leader of beasts family. I'm very shock when i saw him at the event yesterday as well "
Curious suddenly Joyce asked " Are you sure he is the one? "
" Yes, he is. " She replied with an almost abashed look.
Feeling very excited and unable to keep it in Joyce jump up in joy.
" Wow issy, are you really sure he is the one you goes on a fishing trip with? Like the handsome Hayden dark? Tell me how he look like. I have only see him on beasts news and yesterday night i could make out his face due to the darkness and the situation... Come on " she urge getting happy immediately.
Isabella stare at her in surprise but gradually she smile as well shrugging her shoulder. She sat down on the bed slowly and began
" He is a tall and muscular man, his face was plastered with devil-may-care outlook last night at the event and he had a pitched Black hair, he eyebrows thick and abristly ,his nose were pointed , hawkishly. He has a concete jaw and his eyes ... That of an almond shape was of golden color ..."
Both the friends were totally lost , daydreaming about Hayden that they jolted back to reality when the door open.
" Good morning Mr Martin " Joyce said trying to walk away to her room.
Martin stare at both of them in his usual hostile manner and finally smile.
" Good morning, you are called for an interview in research foundation. Mr Duvall is hosting a live TV show where you both were invited to talk about the beast who attacked you last night "
He said before flashing them one of his smile and walk away.
Joyce turn to Isabella in confusion.
" Why should we be interviewed? Mr Duvall has a reputation already. He was said to have hate and loath the beast family. "
" I know " Isabella murmured " what do you think this is? If he want to host a live show to talk dirty about the beasts family and how one has attacked us yesterday only means... " She stop to gasp.
" He wants to make it known to the public that they are a threats " Joyce finished aghast.
Hayden pace about in his living room in frustration. He has been out with Jansen and Farrell looking for the three beasts who has ran away from the big cage to no avail." I can't pick up any scents or anything. " He mutters in frustration to the two men who sat down looking worried then he stop pacing all of a sudden when he perceived Isabella scent.Why is she here? He asked himselfThe doorbell rang and the maid quickly attend to it. Minutes later both Joyce and Isabella walk in slowly to take in the beauty of the living room.It was painted all in white with traces of powder blue and gold to create a grandiose atmosphere. The luxurious velvet furnitures matched with the colour of the rug which was spread at the center of the large room. A gorgeous Golden lamp stood gleaming beside the velvet sofas to provide a high style focus in the room. At a side was a magnificent sculpture of a beast that send a powerful message to any guests that step into the house. The flowers arts on the
Isabella stare at her father in confusion." Father i really do not understand what is going on. Why would you want to work with Mr Duvall? Don't you know how much he loathe the beasts? "Martin dropped the file in his hand and stood up to attend to his nagging daughter." I thought you hate the beasts, why does working together with Mr Duvall bothers you so much ? Wait a second Isabella... " He hesitate. " Don't tell me you have fallen for the handsome no ... The beautiful man from yesterday? "Isabella stop breathing for a second.Really? Am i falling for the sexy ... Shit! Sexy my foot. No way! She shook her head to drive away the thought.She couldn't help but think about Hayden's father as well.I think i should inform Hayden about my nightmare." I do not love Hayden at all . He is a beast... Remember? "" And a beautiful one. He is the leader of them all and i heard he sure is the strongest "She rolled her eyes, waving away the thought of Hayden.Martin sighed softly before w

He doesn't seem like himself, although i am scared of the beast that live in him but he is never like that. He love mum a lot. I just don't understand why he killed...

Isabella felt dejected when she left Hayden's domain. She tried to wave the sadness away but it just wouldn't go off her mind so she put a call to joyce who promise to leave work earlier than necessary. She drove home to get some rest and to have a time to herself. When she step into the living room she met a man , no, not just any man , a very beautiful one who smile at her brightly.
