LOGINTessa
“Go ahead.” His eyes open widely; he is astonished by my words. That I'm not scared is infuriating him. Well, I have no reason to be scared since I am aware that the camera is watching. “I love your bravery… but I dislike that it is laced with stupidity,” he says, stepping forward. I drag my feet backwards, my heart beating so fast, even as I try to keep myself together. “So tell me. Why should an Alpha's son get a no from you when the Alpha's driver gets your yes?” I keep moving backward until my back hits the wall. He places one hand above my head, the other at my side, trapping me. “You must think I don't see you two hanging around all evening,” he says, moving his face closer to mine. I pin my head further to the wall, wishing I could penetrate through. “No one has ever said no to me.” He rubs his cheeks slowly against mine and I close my eyes tightly, hoping anything happens and interrupts the moment. I force myself to stay calm, trying not to lash out and infuriate him further. Slowly I feel his breath close to my ear. “What if I tell you I can reject Jasmine for you,” he whispers and I open my eyes in shock. That wasn't his usual offer to the other girls, I've never heard him boldly speak of rejecting Jasmine. He withdraws himself and looks me in the eyes. “You could be the next Luna after my mother….. I want you to be mine.” “But I don't like you.” I blurt out without thinking. “You stubborn bastard!” he growls, spinning me around and shoving me onto the bed. My head hits the stand slightly. I gasp in pain, but he doesn't care. He rushes to me and drags me to fit in the middle of his king-sized bed. He holds my apron like he's about to tear it off me. I am shocked with his sudden change of mood but still, I kick him off and he stumbles. I rush out of the bed and try to speed out of the room but he is faster. “Jasmine would never forgive you!!” “She wouldn't even believe anything you say to begin with. She is hopelessly in love with me.” “Bastard!!” I yell. “That's your title, not mine!!” My phone rings again but he ignores it and pushes me to his bed again. He rushes to his wardrobe to get whatever he is trying to get and this is my chance out. I rush to the door, opening it but it can't open. Upon all the time this stupid door handle could choose to misbehave, it chooses now. Damnit! I bang on the door furiously and swing the handle repeatedly, hoping the door will open. It creaks open but when I open it, he bangs it shut from behind me immediately. He drags me backwards and I see the rope in his hands. “Let me go!!” He tosses me to the bed and ties my two hands separately to it while I kick him, doing my best to extract myself from him. But he is stronger, nothing I do helps. He drags out my apron and flings to the floor, he then crawls up to the bed like a lion about to devour his prey. “Please, I beg of you. Don't do this.” “I need to quench my desires and you happen to be available…. It's not my fault you're not willing, I mean, I did try to make it easy for you.” he says, caressing my cheeks. His touch feels so cold and irritating as he drags my pants off my butt. Tears well up in my eyes and I allow it to flow down my cheeks. He leans in, letting me feel his hard cock on me. He exhales and tears off my top. “Please, please, stop, please..” I plead, crying as I shake my head sideways. “But I don’t want to stop. I like you, even if you don’t like me… and I always take what I like.” He spreads my leg wide open and positions his cock to slit in. My heart hammers as I close my eyes in expectation of a sharp pain. It is going to be my first experience. I’ve not done this before, never even come close and my first is going to be out of my will. I feel like screaming or disappearing, but I lie still, unable to utter a sound, as if I’ve already accepted my fate. He swings his cock slowly on the surface of my v like he wants to take me by surprise when he pushes it in. He smiles, making me want to spit on him, but I couldn't. I'm scared that if I annoy him, he could do worse. Surprisingly, the door creaks open and for a moment, everything freezes. Jasmine steps in, her lips parting slightly as if she’s about to say something, but no words come out. “Damn it!” George gets off me and rushes towards her, grabbing her wrist. “How dare you come in here unannounced?” Her eyes dart between George and me. She looks confused, but I can tell what could be going on in her mind. “Tessa, what's going on?” She finally voices out, her voice trembling with disbelief. I can't even say anything. I don't want to endanger her. The scumbag isn't feeling remorseful or even ashamed. “You shouldn't be here,” I say, dragging my wrist off the ropes, trying to extract myself from its grip but it was tied so tight. She angrily hits his face, “You're a monster!! How could you? I trusted you!!” She hits him again. No, no, no, no, she isn't supposed to hit him. Damn it! I have to get out of here; his eyebrows are furrowing, and he is clenching his fist. “How dare you!!” He growls and his eyes glow yellow. He flings her to the bed and rushes to her. She tries to move but he hits her, “Have you forgotten your place? Mate!!” “What has gone over you? You're not the man I fell in love with.” She begins crying but he doesn't stop. He tears off her clothes in rage and spreads her legs. I yell, begging him not to but he doesn't listen. My heart pounds like a war drum inside my chest. I can't take it anymore, I can't watch Jasmine go through such. My fingers curl into fists, but they’re already changing, bones cracking, fur bursting through the skin. I feel everything I’ve ever held back clawing its way out of me all at once. My knees give out and I fall forward, the ropes out of me. In seconds, a snarl tears through my throat as I launch at him. George barely has time to react. His smug face twists in panic, but I’m already on him. He stumbles backwards as I bare my fangs and sink them into him with every ounce of fury in me. He shifts into a wolf immediately but his size is twice mine. They say my mother was the white-wolf, the strongest of all female wolves, but my strength seems to be nothing compared to a thirty-two-year-old beast. He growls and slashes his claws at me. He does it again and again. He can't stop, I doubt he wants to. He pins me to the floor and positions himself like he wants to slash my throat off my neck.Tessa I gaze at Kael whose facial expression is tight yet unreadable. In that instance, Renric moves, his fingers hooking into the edge of my veil and lifting it slowly. The fabric slides back over my hair and his hand cups my jaw. Before I can blink, his mouth crashes into mine, kissing me like this is beyond for formality.From the side of my eyes, I see Kael look and look away. Yet Renric still doesn't let go.A sharp inhale leaves me, my eyes flying open in shock as his lips press harder, tilting my head back.I have no other option but to close my eyes and let myself feel the passion of the kiss as he deepens it longer than necessary.Gasps ripple through the hall before applause erupts.He finally pulls away. I swear my lips feel swollen. I stare at him, triumph creeping out of his eyes and damn, I kind of want more.He turns to the crowd and we descend the steps together. He releases my hand almost immediately, slipping into effortless conversation. Kael joins him, greeting
TessaI spent the previous night scrolling on Facebook and reading everything written about the rogue prince.“A true Lycan King,” they all acclaimed him to be.But what really baffled me was Damon agreeing to centralise the rogues in the West and make them a pack.What was he thinking?I am about to make a turn, heading back to my room when I see Renric's study room slightly ajar. I take a step closer, curiosity peeking in. That's when I hear Renric and Lennox's voices, creeping out. “What’s this I hear?” Lennox says, sounding angry. “That you still intend to wed the girl? After promising me you wouldn’t?”My heart slams against my ribs. Are they really talking about me?I press myself against the cold wall beside the door, trying to eavesdrop further.“I paid a huge amount for that girl.” Renric replies.“So it’s about the fucking money?” A chair scrapes sharply across the floor. “I will refund you all of it. How much? Three hundred million?”“Why do you even care so much about my
Tessa“Go away,” I choke out, my voice breaking.“Tessa… open the door. I can explain.”Explain? What explanation could possibly justify putting me in such a position?He knocks again.I scrub at my face angrily, wiping away tears with the heel of my palm. I push myself off the bed and walk to the door, unlocking it and dragging it open.He steps inside and closes the door behind him, his expressions softening.“Be quick with your explanation,” I say, folding my arms around myself. “And then let me be.”“My brother would never let you go,” he says calmly. “And your father would never return the money. There is no need stressing this out..not when we’ve found a way to keep you alive.” he tries to hold me but I drag my feet backwards.“Yeah,” I mutter, heading back to the bed. “As far as I don’t fuck him, I’m good to go.”His jaw tightens briefly, but he nods. “Exactly. All you have to do is stall.”I turn to him fully. “And this Miriam Leo?” I ask, my voice quieter now. “She’s happy to
Tessa“My bride-to-be thinks I should spare your life.” Renric says, his gaze hardening. “But I can’t.” He moves the gun forward, letting the metal press against her forehead.My heart begins to beat faster.“You undermined my authority. You chose to collide with her and drugged my household.”She gasps, her entire body going rigid as she squeezes her eyes shut.“B-but… she is to be your Luna,” she stammers, voice breaking. “Your queen…She gave me an order and I obeyed. I have always been loyal to the royal household, Your Majesty. Please… I don’t deserve to die for being obedient.”My hands rub together helplessly. “Alpha Renric, you don’t have to kill her,” I whisper, dragging myself out of Kael's grip. “Please.”His eyes flick to me and he stares for a while. “She was willing to let those two die with her….How diabolical.”Her breathing turns ragged. “It would have been a quick death,” she says hoarsely. “Only the Goddess knows what you intend to do with me now.”He scoffs and surp
TessaI stand there, staring at him as he climbs the bed and draws up the duvet to cover him.In this moment, the images of the portrait flashes back in my head. Me in a wedding gown, drawn and hung beside his previous wife who died of his curse.What is his curse anyways? My chest tightens, my gaze still on his face. He suddenly looks so calm and peaceful. Well, he has never looked like a monster, never struck to have the essence of brutality like George.Yes, he is strict and sophisticated. But he doesn't deserve to be cursed. What could he have done to deserve the rot of the moon goddess?I shake my head and move towards the bed, losing beside him, though making sure I leave a distance between us.My hands rest stiffly over my stomach as I stare at the ceiling, my heart beating so fast. After a while, I turn my head slightly, facing him.His tousled blonde hair frames his face that makes it hard to ignore, his beards looking so refreshed and shampooed, casting soft shadows along h
TessaMy chest feels too tight, like something is sitting on it. I remain silent, staring at him. I don't even know what to say.I can't just bluntly say it was Beatrice, I doubt he will let this pass.“You’ve suddenly grown mute, haven’t you?” he says, his brows furrowing.I swallow.He takes a step back, jaw tightening. “Very well. I’ll find out myself.” His eyes harden. “And every single person who helped you achieve this will be severely punished.”He turns to leave.Fear creeps in and I rush towards him. “No.. Please!” I say, grabbing his wrist.He stops and slowly, his gaze drops to where my hand clutches him. I pull away instantly as though I’ve touched fire.“Please don’t hurt her,” I whisper.One brow lifts. “So….it’s a she….Fantastic”My stomach drops and he strides past me, hurriedly.“Alpha Renric…please!” I hurry after him, my feet barely keeping up. “I gave her no choice. Please!”He doesn’t slow. “So I’m supposed to be comfortable having someone whose loyalty lies elsew
