Her fated lover

Leila held her bag closer to her ample bosom as she walked faster towards her destination, her fifth interview. As she walked, she thought back to how hard it had been since that fateful night, on her sixteenth birthday which had coincidentally been a full moon night. She had been walking back home alone, having branched off to leave her friends at the junction. The trail home had always been scary and deserted though both sides of the trail were covered in large trees. Since the time she could recognize things, she had known her home had been in the rural area. Her parents were local farmers who majorly survived on selling farm products. So, on this particular day, having come home late from school, she passed by that road, singing as she skipped towards her home. Then it started happening. All of a sudden, her skin started itching and excruciating pain paralyzed her as she slowly started changing. First, it had been her hands, immense pain, almost like labor pains passed t

Congratulations Leila, you have the job. That was the statement that got her out of her reverie. She had struggled to concentrate since she got inside. The boss Ryan had looked so handsome that she had had a rough time concentrating on what the interviewees had asked. How she had managed to even talk to them she did not know. But from the moment she had entered that office, she had been awfully aware of Ryan. The way her nipples had tightened at his mere sight, a bolt of desire rushing through her leaving her breathless.What the hell was wrong with her, it was just a man, or maybe not. He was not human; she could feel him through his body scent. He was like her; she had seen when his eyes had thinned onto tiny golden slits when she got in the office. Looked at her so thoroughly that she had felt empty and naked. She had to get out of that place and quickly. She could not possibly come and work there now. The man had a dangerous aura about him, yet she had been so attracted t

After a quick shower, she moved to have some breakfast, and today she craved her normal food. Fresh meat which she would have and stay full the whole day. After she had prepared herself, she decided to walk down the road to her workplace. The morning walk was something to look forward to because the roads were already starting to have traffic. Walking by the pavement, as the sunlight streamed between the buildings created a sophisticated picture. This could however never compare to the sweetness of forest musk and fresh air that was found in the rural area.Walking faster she got to her destination, the Black company was a king of buildings among those surrounding it. The reflective mirrors made the place look classy and sophisticated. Walking in, she moved to the reception where the receptionist took her to the human resources manager. Mr. James was a middle-aged man of around forty years, with kind eyes. When she saw him, she could not help but question whether he knew that

The queen was of course majestic and beautiful in a regal way. Dressed in dark purple, the finest of it all. Her husband, Thapelo, dressed in a dress coat, embroidered beautifully to stop just above his ankles. Inside had silk pants that were of the finest material. It was like stepping right into a Victorian-era world. “Hey dad, hey mom, how are you people.” Ryan said as he moved to kiss her mother on the face and greet his father. His mother stood from the table holding his ears. “You sure do know how to stay away huh, I always say come home soon and then you say you will and weeks go by like that. Today I am going to beat your ass.” That had of course been the norm between the two. The palace servants were already used to it though of course Ryan always pretended that his ear hurt.  “Mom stop, you are embarrassing me I’m already grown up,” Ryan said as he held his mom’s hand... “ouch, you will give scars to this handsome son of yours.” She did leave his ear b

Leila walked home after her first day at work, more confused than clarified. She had become someone’s marked mate in an instant without her voluntary reaction. It was almost as though fate was working behind the scenes to bring her and Ryan together. That was definitely bizarre ad the only thing she could do now was wait until Ryan came back with an explanation for what had happened then.Getting inside her house she sat as she thought about how handsome he had been. When she had changed, she been full of too much excitement, his presence made her feel protected. Like with him around, there was nothing to fear. And then of course she wanted to mate with him, more than she had ever wanted to.She had of course grown among humans, some had of course hit on he but at those times, she had felt disgusted when imagining herself being with them. She had even managed to convince herself that she wasn’t meant to know love. Because it seemed as though the people arou
