Flame heart
As far as I remember, I have always been alone. Although I grew up in an orphanage on the outskirts of Sunshine City, I never felt like I belonged. Let's just say I was always the black sheep of the lot.For some reason, even the patrons and matrons of the orphanage detested me. It was hard to live like that but somehow I managed. At the age of seventeen, I had to start working odd jobs. I had to do this to save up for the following year. The orphanage would have no place for me once I turned eighteen.Everywhere I went, because of how tattered I was, everyone would hurl expletives at me. Ha! Mine was indeed a sad life. There seemed to be no way out for me. I also had lost hope. Little did I know that fate would present a way out for me in the cruelest way ever. I had to lose so much to obtain freedom.
In losing, I still gained much more. That was the birth of the Flameheart Consortium, a globally recognized company. It had branches in almost every part of the world. In Azania, Flameheart had its hands on both Platinum and Diamond.It goes without dispute that Flameheart is the biggest Diamond company in the world. One can only imagine how wealthy the highest shareholder is. In any other business, I do not mean to brag but I am the sole shareholder.
It is only on the diamond business that I hold most of the shares. About sixty percent of the shares.This was only due to the fact that I am a foreign investor in Azania. Otherwise, I could have monopolized it as well. The Azanians did not have much knowledge of how worthy platinum is, thus, they allowed me to do as I pleased.Nonetheless, my company has developed in most of the countries that we invested in. We built schools and hospitals. As well as develop their infrastructure. That is who I am, I make sure to give back to society as much as I can. I have also recruited different talents from all over the world. Mainly those who are considered to be at the bottom of the lot. Knowing where I was coming from, I made it my sole purpose to uplift those whom society looked down upon. They all reminded me of my former life. They say that ultimate power corrupts, but that is not the case with me at all. Having so much power has allowed me to reach out to those in need without any inhibitions. No one sales stop me from lending a helping hand. Not one soul, human or werewolf can force me to adopt their detestable habits. These are silent rules that society unanimously adheres to. If one of them says something, they automatically go with the flow. Not me. I dictate the pace and when others falter, I use brute force. As long as it is for a good cause, I ascertain that they follow through. Had it not been that way, I would have never lived such a miserable life. I recall instances when some old fisherman took pity on me and offered me a job on his boat. However, the moment another fisherman who had more status than him said I was a stain in their community, the old man had no choice but to sack me. The same with the night that my life was almost taken from me. Those guys were doing what they deemed mob justice. However, I know that they were only following those above them. This is the cruel reality of how society works. All because I was a poor orphan, I became a pawn in their sordid plan. They needed a scapegoat and I fit the profile to a t. Once they succeeded, they discarded me as they would trash. Not before they beat me blue-black. Almost every home in my body was fractured. Then they proceeded to bundle me up in a sack and hurled me into the murky Savannah River. A river that was I feared with predatory reptiles. They had committed what they deemed a perfect murder. No one would know as no one would care to look for me. I was all alone in this whole wide world. My disappearance or death would affect no one. I neither had family, friends nor a girlfriend. No one ever gave me a second glance. Even my employer never remembered my name. He was a constructor who took pity on me and offered me a job in exchange of accommodation. I would help with the brick laying and on exchange, I would get a bite of food and a shack behind the building under construction to sleep in. I knew it was temporary, but I made good use of the opportunity. I learned all I could where construction was concerned. Although the burly man kept forgetting my name, he took a liking to me. He saw how thirsty I was for knowledge.I was so spellbound by the magic of building. To me it was magical because I got to watch myself searching a magnificent building from scratch. I vowed that one day I would rise from the dust and stand tall and unwavering like sturdy building built with concrete, cement, bricks and metal rods.
What I did not know that the opportunity would present itself in such a cruel manner. I had to be forced to take the chastity of an innocent and pure girl, suffer fatal injuries, brought back from the dead in order to achieve my goal.
Sounds far-fetched, doesn't it? Unfortunately, that is the truth. When those rich kids force-fed me the drugs, I lost control and ended up deflowering an innocent girl. After which they then blamed me for rape and thrashed me. Till they believed I was dead. However, fate was not done with me yet. Instead of drowning, I was carried away by the current. That too was on top of one of the deadliest reptiles that swelled in the water. The three-headed mythical serpentine. A serpent that is only known to live in Azania. The Nyaminyami. I would not have known this, had my master not told me. The serpentine bit off the ropes that were binding me, and gently carried me on its back. Then my master says he received a message in his dreams. He knew that the time had come. It took me four years to fully understand what he meant. He has since begged me to stop calling him master, but it is my wish. Apparently, when it comes to rank, I am his king, this he bows to me. But for me, he is the reason I am here today. From the beginning, he saved me. When I was a baby and the raging war between the witches and werewolves commenced, he took me to safety, risking his life. He changed my name and gave me a new identity. He forsook his identity for my sake. I owe him my life but humble as he is, he keeps brushing me off saying it was his duty. It took me a while to embrace my true identity. Three years to be precise. However, to wars a the end of the third year of living with Master Hans, I got my turning point. I had already built my own training center from scratch. There was no problem with money as master has handed me my trust funds. My parents had made sure to save billions for me. Even with all that money, I still took great pleasure in building my first Flameheart tower. Of course, for a project that big I had to employ others. Anyway, the day I started embracing my true identity was a day like any other. For some reason, I could not sleep so I decided to read the history books of our world that Hans had given me. When I came to the part of mates, I was enthralled. Even without me knowing my true identity the moon goddess did not forget me. She bestowed a mate on me and I recall vividly how I had marked her in my delirious state. Before my wolf even awakened, I recognized my mate. She became the reason for my drive. I remembered promising to look for her. As soon as I embraced my true identity, my wolf, Emberwing, awakened. We both vowed to comb the whole earth until we found our human mate. She is the reason I have businesses in almost every part of the world. It is a quest to find her.Hello, lovelies! At times the pain becomes the driving force behind one's success. That is if you remain optimistic. Please do not forget to comment and vote💕
Athena (Seven Years Ago)The twins, my younger siblings, Jack and Lilly were laughing so hard they could barely stand. Without having to ask, I knew that they had played a role in my predicament. I felt betrayed and humiliated. Although my body was aching, my heart felt as if it was being pierced by a thousand glass shards. My breath hitched and my chest felt constricted. Of their own volition, my eyes discharged the salty wetness, only three pain induces. I did not scream, yell or sob. I just sat there quietly watching as the twins mocked me. As if that were not enough, another group of people entered. Just like the twins, they also seemed utterly pleased to see me in such a humiliating state. The worst thing is, I recognized all of them. They were the children of the richest families in Sunshine City. The one who was at the forefront was Dante, the first scion of the Grahams. Followed by Daryl, his younger brother. I am also shocked to see the person I considered a friend be part
Athena After my father disowned me, I was shattered and lost. How would I make it out there without his protection? However, Donna did not leave me to wallow in sadness. She stood by me until I was ready to move on. My mother thought it was the right time to disclose the fact that I was not her child. Adding insult to injury. Her voice was laced with scorn, mockery, and disgust. "I should have never nursed you back to health eighteen years ago when your weak slut of a mother died. I should have let you join her in the netherworld you disgusting wench! Just like your mother, you have such disgusting wanton behavior. Ptu!" She spat at me not bothering to conceal her repulsion. She went on to scream about how my mother trapped my dead with her beauty and snatched him from her. It turns out my mother got pregnant with me whilst my dad was already in a relationship with Violet. It hurt me so badly to know that my mother, though she got married, was considered to be the other woman. D
FlameheartMy people have been suppressed for too long by the darned witches. Seeing that I have not made a move on them, their queen assumes that either I fear them or I am not aware of their malice. What they do not know is that I am a true predator. I stalk my prey until I am assured of victory. Unlike other predators, I am calculative. I just do not go around pouncing recklessly on my prey. That will only alert it and give it a chance to run. I am like a python. I move slowly, so much so that if one does not look carefully, one will assume that it is stationary. It is this attribute of a python that ensures that it's always well nourished. The way it moves is almost hypnotic. The one watching gets mesmerized and remains glued to the spot. Only when they feel their body being constricted do they realize that they have fallen prey to the most dangerous predator ever. By then, it will be too late to do anything. They watch helplessly as the python devours them whole. All they wil
Flameheart It has been over a fortnight since I conveyed my message, to the one woman whom my heart beats for, through all major news channels. I feel as if a huge load was lifted off my shoulder. What I never expected was to be pestered relentlessly by some shameless women. They came in large numbers in all shapes and sizes. Each one, claiming to be the woman from seven years ago. Each time, I refused to meet any of them but they kept pestering.From the little I remember about that girl, she is quite dignified and composed. Although I was drugged, I clearly noticed how much she wished to forget about me and everything tha transpired on that fateful day. Apart from that, if she heard my message, I know she understood me.The information that my subordinates gathered about her, has given me a better understanding of her. One outstanding attribute of hers is intelligence. She is a genius thus, she managed to make a name for herself even after being left with nothing. The mere fact th
Gunther(Supreme Beta)Flameheart is the true epitome of leadership. Nothing can corrupt him. Neither money nor fame has made him change or discard his principles.The moment his wolf awakened, he ascertained dominance over all supernatural and human beings alike. In fact, his dominance amongst humans had long been known before Emberwing, his wolf awakened. He is strong-willed and passionate about everything he does. When I got to know him, I was intrigued by his story. This guy literally rose from the dead. This is why when I look at all these people relentlessly trying to scheme against him, I just scoff at their useless tactics. The human population may not be aware of his identity as the alpha king, but surely his identity as the overlord of the corporate world should speak volumes. This is the challenge with humans. Instead, they like treading on dangerous grounds. Looking at the women who frequently crowd the front gate of the Flameheart towers, I cannot help but fear for the
Gunther The first part of the interview progressed pretty well. Almost every lady that came through, left with something to benefit from. All thanks to my alpha's magnanimity. The only reason Alpha Flameheart is this generous is because of where he came from. His childhood and teenage years were anything but happy. He understands poverty and suffering, more than anyone I know in this world. Therefore, when he emphasized his desire for honesty and the ladies who adhered to it, they attained merits from him. This can be attested by the number of people that he just hired today. As a werewolf, it is easy for me to detect even hidden emotions. At this moment, the emotions emanating from these ladies are all positive. Their positive energy has swamped this whole conference room and it is a good thing. The positive energy is like a breath of fresh air. Hardly do we experience such optimism in human territory. Usually, the air is thick with negative energy so much so that it becomes de
AthenaMy heart has been unsettled since the day I watched the Flameheart Consortium's chairman being interviewed. His message has successfully made me feel connected to him. Not only that, but I have been struggling to sleep peacefully since then. The only thing that seems to calm me is if I watch the clip over and over again. It is as if he has become an antidote for my sanity.Luckily, my little girl recorded that interview on her tablet and I am thankful. Now, I have no idea whether this guy is some sort of magician but the drastic change in my emotions is quite baffling. Whenever I touch this bite mark turned tattoo on the crook of my neck, against all logic, I yearn for his touch. It is not as if I feel a need to be with just any man. No. Only him. Besides, I have noticed over the years, that whenever a man tried to get close to me, I would be repulsed. I have never been able to accept any other men in my life. Neither have I ever felt the need to accommodate other men in my l
Unknown Although their main purpose was to humiliate Flameheart, they did not know that they had just opened Pandora's box.The Elite Alliance had devised a plan to oust Flameheart from Sunshine City. Their greed drove them to despicable heights. When Flameheart spoke of a woman he left behind seven years back, they saw an opportunity to execute their plan.After a thorough discussion, they decided to use one of their daughters. Cheryl Callahan was the one they settled for. She has always been quite daring. Besides, she has been crushing on Flameheart and this was a better chance to get closer to him.When Flameheart coveted his message to his woman, they thought that he had no recollection of who she was. They were convinced that he must have forgotten what she looked like. So, they decided to take a chance. Their greed clouded all logic. They did not even stop to consider a lot of things. Although Flameheart spoke about a woman that he came back for, he was quite vague. Had they p
