Tessa
“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 want alone time with Theresa,” my father says.Alfred nods and begins stepping away.“Father! What are you doing?” I ask, stepping forward. “I just told you that he knows the truth? That he has the video!”He hits me across the face, making me stutter backwards. Alfred halts and turns back towards us, his eyes lingering on me.My father hits me again, louder this time around. “Shut up! This game of yours will lead you nowhere!”“But…” I try to speak and he hits me again. “Father!” I say as I raise my head but he slaps me again.I throw my gaze at Alfred who is just standing and looking at me, though his eyes look wounded.He swallows and turns his back, then hurries out.*****Water splashes on my face. I jerk awake, gasping and blinking at the morning light spilling across the room. Before me is my step-mother, the fury in her eyes evident in the way she glares at me. Beside her is Ann, holding in her hands a jar of water and a smirk tugging at the corner of her lips.“Au
TessaThe knock comes again, I keep quiet, my focus still remaining on the metal door. At this moment, I hear the door handle swing, my heart thunders, so I quickly stand up.The door opens and Alfred walks in, his expression unreadable. I take a step forward, not pulling my eyes from him.He stops moving and he is a few inches from me. He stares at me with his grey eyes. This is when I see the sadness in his eyes.“I want to help you escape…” he says, his voice barely above a whisper.My eyes widen in disbelief.“Why?”“What do you mean by ‘why’ ?”I should agree with him and go on with whatever escape plan he has. Yet something tells me that there is more. He is the beast’s brother after all.“You know I didn't kill my sister,” I smile. “Which also means you know who did it.”“Damn it! Tessa” he says and looks away.“You have the video.” I press further. “When our bodies were moved from his room, you must have looked around, found the camera… and yet, you didn't tell your father… or
TessaMy wolf stirs within me; she groans at first, then we howl as I look at the bruises on my hands.“And yet, you are still not healing,” he smirks, his eyes also on the bruises on my hands.The glowing stops, and I try to pull out my claws, believing my wolf should have healed and that would help heal my bruises faster.The claws struggle to come out, but they don't. Sanny isn’t strong enough yet, even the hope of a second chance mate can’t help her.“Come off it! Bastard!” He drags me inside, his grip tight on my wrist. “My daughter was the only person who saw anything good in you and yet you killed her!!!”“Please! Believe me! I didn't!”“You were so jealous of her!!!” He yells and tosses me into the basement. “I should kill you! I have permission to, but I won't!!” He steps inside and glares at me, gritting his teeth. “I will make you pay for everything…”“What about the video?” I ask, steadying myself up. “You had a chance to see who really killed my sister…. Your daughter! Bu
Tessa*Fifteen Days later*It took an extra fifteen days for me to heal up my wounds and I didn't entirely heal on the hospital bed.My father came and signed the AMA Form to be able to take me despite my inability to heal faster. But he never took me home.Instead, he threw me to Alpha Reynolds, George's father to uphold justice regarding the death of his heir’s fated mate, my sister.They tore my clothes and tied my hands to the ceiling in the grand hall. Everyone came around, throwing stones and mud at me. Except for my father and step-mother. Maybe they can’t bear to watch or maybe it’s because they don’t believe I killed Jasmine.Today is the third day of being tied up here. Today, the alpha will give his final verdict. It's not like anyone spoke on my behalf, they all believe I killed my sister. Freya has been skeptical about everything, so I told her not to involve herself, I even pleaded with her. I wasn't ready to lose another person dear to me.“I didn't do it!” I plead, cr
Tessa“Doctor, what is it?” I ask again, my voice above a whisper.He hesitates for a moment and when he opens his mouth to speak, Freya, my best friend, walks in.“Tess, you're finally awake.”She rushes to my side, her brown eyes swollen from long crying. She gently grabs my hand, clutching it like she’s afraid I’ll disappear if she lets go.“Doctor Sampson, thank you.” She says to the doctor.“I will leave you two.” He replies and departs.“You scared the hell out of me,” she says as she leans closer.Tears fill up in my eyes immediately and flow down my cheeks. I sit up, wiping my tears.“Tess,” she calls out.“Jasmine is dead,” I say, breaking into tears again.She wraps her arms around me, pulling me into a warm embrace. Her hands stroke my hair gently as I cry against her shoulder.“I know, I know,” she whispers, holding me tighter.“I'm going to kill that monster!!! He killed Jasmine!”She suddenly pulls away from me, her lips pressing together like she’s holding something bac
TessaHe digs his claws into my chest instead. I choke, clawing at him with what little strength I have left. My vision blurs. I’m not ready to die. Not here. Not like this. But my heart is literally in his hands, all it would take is for him to pull it out, and it’s over.“Nooooooooooo!!” Jasmine screams.I slowly look at her, knowing my life is about to come to an end but to my surprise, she has shifted.Her wolf is smaller than his but she lunges with a terrifying snarl. She sinks her teeth into his shoulder and drags him off me, slamming him into the wall with a strength I never knew she had.I am breathing helplessly and slowly on the bare floor, still in my wolf form. She snarls and rushes to attack, but he howls at her, and surprisingly, she stops, bending to him. Hell no! She is his fated mate and as the Alpha's son, he must have learnt how to control his mate's wolf.“Jasmine, you have to reject him now!” I say in my thoughts but in such a way that she could hear me.It w
