His Rejected Slave 29
DECLANMy hands pulled the door open and slowly I stepped into the room. I secretly crept into Dwayne's room whilst he was away, enjoying his time with the dignitaries. My hand grazed the book on his study and I sat down to read the contents. I was curious to know something but that I wasn't sure of.I just felt this need to know about his secrets without having an idea where that thought comes from. Dwayne can be many things, cruel, cold-hearted and worse all evil. Although I succeeded in winning his heart, somehow Deforest has the upper hand over everything, not that he was the eldest, it's something beyond my knowledge. The title of the book was "Journey of lord's" ; it was boldly inscripted on the front cover. It drew my attention more into it and I wanted nothing more than to read this book my father left open on his study desk.As I flipped the pages open a rare memory flashed past my eyes. It came like collections and efforts to merge them together were fruitless. I managed to
His Rejected Slave 30
RILEYTime seemed to stand still as Danica and I watched what seemed like a scene straight from the movies.It looked so unreal.I had been too busy refilling the glasses of the ever insatiable guests that I potentially could have lost out on the drama that was unfolding.Thank goodness the ever alert Danica, her eyes always capturing scenes mine did not have the capacity to, caught it with her camera called eyes."Riley!," she had whispered briskly, trying to get my attention.But I was too busy attending to those "a little more whisky, please" guests that I didn't hear the first time. Besides, Danica has a tiny voice, one that requires a lot of effort to hear, even from such close range."Riley! Look!," she called again, pointing her fingers to a direction.Luckily, I saw in time what she was trying to show me.As if someone had cast some spell on me, I stopped, oblivious of the guest who had stretched his empty glass before me for another refill.Danica had quickly walked u

DANICA "The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but the man who conquers that fear."I had once heard Riley say that to Kianna during one of their usual 'healing sessions,' as she usually refers to it."I have no idea the extent to its truth, but I hope she believed me," she had said to me when I tried to find out if she really believed in her own proverb.Well, even if they both believe in it, I am clearly not on the same wavelength with them, for the fear that my heart accommodates has no end in sight.It is so palpable!I'm scared that the end has come!I shouldn't have agreed to go with Riley on her journey of no return; I should have stayed back at the party.Well, it's easier to say that now that everything has gone south, but the real truth is that there was just no way I would have said no to Riley when she suggested that I come with her.It was harder to not oblige her.Kianna and I see her as our ringleader. She always seems to be a step ahead of us in t

KIANNA¶Oh, why am I so emotional?No, it's not a good lookGain some self controlAnd deep down I know this never worksBut you can lay with meSo it doesn't hurtOh, won't you stay with me?'Cause you're all I needThis ain't loveIt's clear to see¶Darling, stay with me."I'm scared. Please, don't leave me."I remember saying that to him, as I wrapped myself in his warmth, as if my life depends on it.Surely, it does!The moon goddess has been so unfair to me by mating me with a man who derives the satisfaction of his manhood by breaking me. I had cried and hoped she would break the curse they had placed on me, but they seemed more keen to see us together than apart.Surely, it's a curse to be mated with Deforest!My forebears were wrong, after all…If she is really wise as I was made to believe, they should have known that giving me a mate like him is in no way wise.How could she!?I don't care what happens, but I am going to do things my way.If the one m

KIANNAWhat will be will be!I was sweating profusely!The heat!The tension!The fear!They were all palpable!My heartbeat raced uncontrollably, as if I had just been involved in a marathon race, one I did not sign up for!I closed my eyes, waiting for the worst to happen. I mean, it was obvious that I had been found out. The guard, whoever he was, could not have walked close enough to the wardrobe and ordered his partner to lay still if his instinct had not led him."Stones, is it not obvious that she's not here?," his partner asked him. He sounded somewhat edgy.The doorknob!Quickly, but gently, I grabbed it, holding on to it. The wardrobe didn't have a lock from inside, which made it easier for the guard to open once he had his hands on it.When everything looks blink, and we are at the brink of a sink…… sometimes, we never know what is in the offing!It's like a dice; you don't know what side of the coin you get…"Hey, you two, what are you doing here? Have you

JASONYou call it madness, but I call it loveAt last, it had come!There was no way I was going to blow it up!But then, she did!Even before I had said the words!Urgh!F*ck the shit!I had sped off as soon as I drove her to the pack house, ignoring and damming the traffic rules, while leaving others cursing and humming in my wake. I had even managed to overtake the Hum-vee that initially seemed a long way from my reach.I had never driven that way.I guess anger brings out the demon in us.I was not interested in knowing what the penalty was if the authorities were to serve me a notice for over speeding.I just didn't care!I have never been filled with such anger, such that it was obvious to everyone when I got back home.My father was the first to notice… and it wasn't hard to.I had not driven the car to the garage as was my norm. He had watched me kick the car in anger as soon as I stepped out.He was waiting for me, wearing a calm demeanor as usual.I

DECLANSometimes, the good comes in the packages of the bad.It had to be acted according to how I had scripted it.I knew I had to make it look all real.That was my only chance.They had gotten close, closer than a hair's breadth, the guards. Those two, they were one of the best swordsmen the alpha had hired. Though humans, they possessed skills that were beyond the realities of mere mortals. They could sniff a wolf even in the dark. So, when I walked in and saw the black eyed guy sniffing around the wardrobe, I knew he had smelled her scent."Searching for a maid who had run away from Deforest in the kitchen! Really!? Is this the kind of intelligence the alpha hired you for? I should be worried! Get the f*ck off my face, motherfuckers!""Search everywhere; make sure she has no place to hide, for she will pay with her life for daring to make a public show of my brother; for daring to ruin our party. Get the f*ck out of my face!"I had to give it the perfect demeano

TORRODamn it!I hate him!If only I could sniff the f*cking life out of him!He's not one of us, yet he bites more than a wolf.Anytime I see them together, I am reminded that he is to her what I'm not; what she has not given me a chance to be, even though our fate was chosen for us by the wise moon goddess.I am Torro Andrews, and I am Kianna's mate. I am not just any wolf, for I smell danger even before it is hatched. With my skill, I have helped save the pack from rival packs. Kianna, Ferran, Gerard, Yemi, and the rest of the pack owe me their lives.I am that good…But I have failed!And I hate to admit it!Everyone seemed to get along with him, except, of course, Torro. Something just seemed off about him from the first day I saw him. Worst off, Kianna, my Kianna, had introduced him to us as 'my childhood sweetheart,' even holding hands with him in a manner that made me choke inside. I felt nothing but jealousy and hatred towards him.The motherfucker didn't even seem to notice
