ANNABELLE.After we finished the movie, with me and Nathan gushing about how adorable Alejandro aka Alex, the main character was. We got up from the couch turned off the TV and put the empty bowls in the sink.Nathan ushers me out to get dressed saying that he has a surprise in the room. I make my way upstairs trekking to the room I'm staying in to find a shopping bag and shoes.I pull the pretty dress that Nathan picked out for me, thanking the goddess that he had remembered my measurements and my shoe size too. I smile at his kindness and find a small bag filled with cosmetics. Foundation to match my tan skin, my favorite mascara, blue eyeliner, lip liner, gloss and a palette of eyeshadows.Biting my lip with anticipation. You can tell that it's been a while since I dressed up and went out to enjoy myself.Eying the black stilettos and mid-thigh length velvety black dress with its spaghetti straps. The daring, plunging neckline and the small slit running up the left side of the dres
ANNABELLE.I feel hot.Calloused hands grip my waist pulling me into a hard naked chest that rumbles with a soft growl of satisfaction and my wolf feels at peace when I lean my head against his shoulder.But I feel incomplete for some reason.Something is still missing...Someone is missing.I feel defective. Then, my heart hurts. Tears brim at my closed eyelids threatening to fall but suddenly my front is being gripped and I sigh with relief.My whole being zips with an unimaginable amount of sparks, creating a bond, a connection of some sort and I feel my wolf purring with satisfaction.Another hard surface sandwiches me with their own rippling tut muscly chest and I let out a moan at the feeling of those hands exploring my bare skin.They skim over every part, every curve, every stretch mark and every scar. Every dip.I open my eyes, those identical scarlet red eyes that I look between, hold me captive. The two men holding me murmur something under their breaths and with one last k
ZYNETH.Love is like cancer, it's sudden and wrecks you in its wake.But goddess, I want her to consume me whole.I loved her the moment I saw her.And I don't think that I'll ever stop loving her.I don't think there's a universe where I stop loving her.Annabelle Miriam Devirolli.Even her name had my heart beat faster, instant peacefulness surrounding me by the way her scent engulfed me. By the way her eyes held me captive. Inviting, sweet and so kind.If she was fire I will gladly let her burn me.Turn me into ash. Ash that will still be a part of her. As she is a part of me.A part of my soul.I had thought that losing my pack and family two years ago was going to be my devastation, my downfall but how wrong was I to assume.She came to my rescue.Like a dark furious Angel.Her wild dark hair, untamed dark blue eyes flashing red and signifying a fight with her double-sided nature for dominance. Chest heaving, claws extending and those sharp fangs glinted in the moonlight as she m
REED.My destined.The strong beautiful wolf.The second my grey irises connected with her blue ones, the world stopped before me. The primal urge to seek her out and mark her as my own had my demon side go berserk. Grinning devilishly as his fangs and white eyes that glowed with mischief and longing of the face of his beloved made an appearance.And in all my one thousand six hundred and five years of life, I never thought that this day would come. Never thought that I'd find someone that was made for me.My other half.And there she is.In all her glory, a white genuine smile on her face as she dances. Her maroon gown hugged her curves and swayed with each step, effortlessly enchanting every damn hungry wolf, half Angel, vampire and Fae that looks at her. But still oblivious to all the attention she's getting, Annabelle carelessly smiles at the Omega wolf at her side.His eyes are stuck on her, watching her, admiring her and I for some reason don't feel jealous. I don't feel the nee
ANNABELLE."Do we have a deal, Miss Devirolli?"My mouth works faster than my brain can analyze what the obnoxiously hot stranger is saying and is asking me to do. "Are you fucking kidding me, right now?" His molten silver irises roll to the back of his head in exasperation, "I don't have the time nor the will to fucking kid you," his lips purse as he emphasizes my colorful choice of words. "I need us to complete the mating process to get the rest of my powers to function and I'm willing to pay whatever price you'd ask for.""Is that so hard to understand, Annabelle?" Yes, it was, you demonic asshole. The grind of his teeth makes me laugh as he says, "I heard that.""Good, you were meant to," I smile, standing up. "And we don't have a deal. I don't need a mate. I specifically don't need you anywhere near me or my pack. Try me and you'll fucking get it."He was too full of himself and prideful, and that right there ticked me off. I shouldn't be this angry at someone that I was suppo
ANNABELLE.The need to break something doesn't fade. It doesn't leave. It sticks with me like a shadow, furthering agitation, aggravation and my slipping self control as I recall their obnoxiously gorgeous faces. I was no coward when it came to confrontation but Goddess if I didn't feel like one tonight. And that lead me here.Shuffling through my closet for random clothes just to drop them in the black duffle bag. My anger skyrockets as my hands don't stop trembling and I fling the unfinished packed bag towards the wall and watch it fall to the ground.My frame in toe as I growl in rage and hug my knees to my chest, burying my head into them. "I'm rejecting them and I'm not fucking running away!" I shout to no one, my fist making contact with the wooden flooring of my room in a swift but painful thud.The connection between me and Aria is a trainwreck, she had been howling in agony since we ran away from them. Every step we took away from them was pure torture to her, whilst I stru
ARSENIO."You can take all your words and shove them right up your ass! Where I hope they’ll fester and fucking rot!"Damn.She was ballsy, this one, I'll give her that.In this case, however, she needed to calm down before my brother snaps at her. I, personally, had no problem watching her yell and curse us out. As bored as I can get with people's ranting, hers I could take for some reason.Dare I say that she even looked cute doing it, with her dark eyes blazing, fangs bared in a threat as the demon, Reed, tried to calmly talk to her but constantly refuted him.My sanity is slipping. Atlas miffs through our mind link, annoyed and barely holding back. Just how the hell could someone be so cute but so fucking annoying, at the same time?"Beats me," I murmur, side eyeing the Omega to my right, teeth gnawing on his lip, seeming fidgety. "You okay?" I watch as his Adam's apple bobs, his lips parting, silver eyes widening a smidgen, "I -I'm okay, y-your majesty," the exaggerated bow of re
ZYNETH.Either I was going deaf or having a stroke.Maybe both. Their voices were so loud. So loud that I couldn't help but force my ears shut with my hands. Trying not to shift and run off to the wild. I release a quiet whimper filled with anguish as they keep arguing.Breathe. My wolf murmurs trying to console me. Breathe, slow and steady. You're going to be okay. Zen repeats again, disdain and solemness flowing through our bond but that doesn't really affect me the way that it used to.Since my sixteen birthday, the day that I got blessed by getting my wolf hide, I had been having...relapses. Nightmares, dreams. Visions of a possible destructive future have chases me since then. I never told anyone besides my mother and father.And then, my world had shifted.My parents and family died two years after that and I had seen it in a vividly colored vision, bits and pieces of it sticking to me until I had lived them in real life. It hit me like a train running over me again and again.
