Into the Woods Chapter 24: The Wreck
Chapter 24: The Wreck Shahida “Who says I need breakfast in bed, you punk?” Evangeline, one of the kitchen staff runs off crying from my brother’s chamber. She was kicked out again after serving breakfast for him. It has been a two hell weeks since Elias left the mansion and didn’t even bade his goodbye. All that I recalled at grandma’s death anniversary was Apollo getting criticized by the elders of our family, and the councils who payed their visit. Rejecting and voided the marriage was the best of the night but it was soon exchanged with horror. I was forced to stay there unaware. Grandpa has never been disappointed in his life not until my brother defended Elias in front of everyone and announced that Isabelle and him was nothing but a contractual marriage, which drew a conclusion about his feelings for Elias. He also announced his love for him which was so romantic. After he received Elias’ betrayal, I understood his anger and frustration on everything. I really want to pu
Into the Woods Kabanata 25: Back on Track
Chapter 25: Back on Track 3rd Person POV It was still evident to Apollo’s eyes how worn out it were. His eyebags were showing and he got skinny for refusing food for days. After visiting Elias’ room, he went straight to the infirmary. Andrius ran towards his direction as soon as he stepped inside. The familiar scent of alcohols and the infirmary itself lingered into his nostrils. He slightly wrinkled his nose and roamed his eyes around. “Alpha, you didn’t tell me you’re visiting today,” Andrius muttered shocked. “You could have informed so I can make everyone in their posts.” He was well aware that Apollo was not a fan of infirmaries, clinics, and hospitals. He has never visited one while growing up because he hates it. And now, he is here. “How was everybody here?” His voice is stern and stoic. Apollo strolled each bed of the infirmary and checked everyone. Andrius just followed the alpha around and reported everything to him. “About half of our warriors have been discharged a
Into the Woods Chapter 26: I Missed You
Chapter 26: The I Missed You Trigger warning: Sexual scenes are present. Read at your own risk. Elias Having no idea how many days I was caged in the same cell, I have never seen Samael since then. On the day we arrived, I was forced to stay in this rusty cage cell and was brought food for my meals. Other than that, he has never laid a hand on me, did not even touch a strand of my hair which I was glad he did. There were no days that Apollo didn’t cross my mind. All I think about everyday is how to get away from this place without getting caught. But it seems that Samael knows it will be my plan, he makes sure that the corners I am in is fully locked. There’s no way I could escape. I remember the first time I met Apollo here. Back then, he was so reckless and nosy of someone else’s life. He saved me without permission and rule my life as if he owns it. But looking back, I was regretting any decision I made. If I persists on taking my life, I would not be able to meet
Into the Woods Chapter 27: We Are Going Home
Chapter 27: We Are Going Home “Eli!” It didn’t last long when I felt someone stumbled inside which made Samael drop me on the floor. I never knew who it was but his smell lingered on my nostrils and it recognized its presence. My vision is blurry but I could hear someone coming in my direction. His feet were as light as a feather when it reached my direction. When a hand touched my cheek to wake up, that's when my fear subsided. His touch is familiar. I’m glad he came. “Eli!” he mentioned my name like a melody in my ears. “Fuck! Wake up, Eli!” “Make sure everyone will be caught. Don’t let them escape!” he commanded his people with so much authority. “Hostages…” I said, trying to form my words. “What is it?” I tried blinking my eyes for the opportunity to look him in the eyes because I missed him so much. And as soon as I had a clearer view, one thing that laced in it was panic. I know it was a horrifying thing one could feel but I couldn’t see it in action. He maintained hi
Into the Woods Chapter 28: The Dungeon
Chapter 28: The Dungeon Survivors were escorted to the hall for their physical check up and a lot of physicians were summoned to be at the mansion. The moment when Apollo left us, he had never come back since. I also saw other councils arriving at the conference room, walking quickly, so I guess there would be a forum about the new plans for the survivors. Refusing to get a treatment from them because I wasn’t feeling bad, I reached for my pad where my things were. While I was heading to my destination, I bumped into Lady Isabelle who was at her usual stance—pretty, fair, and a prominent woman. But one thing I caught in her was she’s unfocused and unsteady. Seemed like her mind was somewhere else. However, she was shocked when she saw me when I leaned on her. I blinked for how many times, confused as to why she looked like she had met a ghost. I tried reaching her from her foot when she fell earlier but she crawled back. I was expecting her to nag at me but instead of doing that,
Into the Woods Chapter 29: His Fixing
Chapter 29: His Fixing “Where have you been? I have been waiting you.” Calmly Apollo queried, furrowing his dark brows as he caught me sneaking inside my room. I jolted in surprise when I saw him waiting by the side of the window, mesmerised by the beauty of the moon shimmering above. He went towards my direction and gently pulled me into a hug. It is a kind of hug that heals the uneasiness blossomed in my mind. I wonder if he knows I’m suspecting him. But I should not. Apollo will never kill just because. He is a rational alpha and he knows the value of life. I shake my head discreetly. A flash of realisation hit me when his eyes travelled in my face, seeing a messy look. The anger I had earlier didn’t disappear that easily which made Apollo stared at me again, as he walked towards my direction. When he stood in front of me, I had to lift my chin due to his height. His wide but tone body blocked the light coming from the lampshade I have. “Don’t tell me you went to the dungeon?
Into the Woods Chapter 30: The Senior Council
Chapter 30: The Senior Council “Elias!” Apollo snapped his fingers at me, looking so worried. I turned my gaze towards Aunt Isadora and Shahida who were also waiting for me to speak. I swallowed my own spit and forced a smile. “You’re spacing out. Is there something bothering you?” Apollo asked, holding my hand which I pulled away. He was shocked. Instead of getting mad, he looked at Elias worriedly. “Nothing. I’m sorry,” was all I said. But curiousity really kills me. Did Isabelle come here? Did she talk to me? “What’s the matter, Eli?” Aunt Isadora asked this time. But I just shook my head. After that, Shahida confirmed what I was thinking. “What happened between you and Isabelle? You looked flustered when she talked to you earlier.” So I wasn’t dreaming. That was real. But, why it felt like an illusion? “Don’t ask him too much. He must be adjusting. Just continue eating.” All of them didn’t ask after that. Even Apollo himself stopped but I could still sense his worried st
Into the Woods Chapter 31: The Murder
Chapter 31: The Murder Elias’ POV “Lady Isabelle.” It had been about thirty minutes when the senior council left the mansion so I decided to go back to Isabelle’s room. She was still there memorizing for the last time her room as I learnt that today is her last day at the mansion. I led her to the long settee and gave her a cup of water, but I could still sense her trembling. She gripped the skin of the seat and unsteady. “Are you okay?” I asked with worry. Although what she did earlier was unreasonable, I couldn’t get mad at her for long. Isabelle may be a strong female werewolf but she has weaknesses too. We all are. I don’t know if she’s aware that I am here. Considering her situation I couldn’t leave her unattended. I wonder where her personal servant is. “Do you think I was grateful to you because you defended me? You’re still an outcast trying to steal my husband, Elias,” she argued, glaring at me intently. What is she talking about? I saved her from her father because h
