It was only a dream. I couldn't tell if that was a good dream or bad one but it felt so real.Where did I see those eyes? I know I had seen them somewhere, who was that man?The dream haunted my mind, more like those eyes, I hated that I couldn't seem to remember anything and it felt like a puzzle.When I stepped out, there was no sign of Zoey and Leon and I have never felt so relieved.I felt suffocated with them.I wondered what kind of sister Zoey was, i’d never do that to her, not for any reason. But she didn’t fail to remind me of how much I didn’t belong, how much our parents- her parents saved me, of course they did, I was grateful for that but sometimes I couldn’t help but think of my real family, I couldn’t remember anything about them. Were they looking for me? Did they think of me? I wondered if I looked like my mom or dad. Who had the red hair amongst them and the ivory skin or the large blue eyes. I didn’t consider myself pretty, even if I ever did, Zoey and Leon had succ
They always said your darkest hour comes before your dawn but I didn’t think my dawn would ever come.How could he do this to me? How could they do this to me?This hurt was different from all the ones I have felt, it was tearing me apart and I couldn’t point where it hurt the most between my physical, mental and emotional state.I ran inside my room, the bed was in a mess and I fought the urge to puke. Grabbing the sheets, I threw it at the farthest end of the room, ignoring the pain that jolted through me. I didn’t know what came over me but I remember is that I was yelling and throwing things, I even broke my vanity mirror with my old heels, I tore the pillow and it feathers flew everywhere, I kept throwing things, anything I could find.I didn’t even know someone had walked in until I felt the person’s arms around me.“Your grace?” Eleanor called out.I ignored her.“Your grace?” This time she held my hands to prevent me from throwing any other thing.“What is it? Leave me alone!”
“What are you doing?” he almost growled, and for the first time in my life I didn't seem scared or surprised.I didn't respond.“What are wearing? You like a fucking slut, must you throw yourself on any male because you've been starved of attention?” He continued.Ian looked between Leon and I over and over again, raising his hands up in a defeated sign, he left.“You don't tell me who to talk to Leon.” I said calmly, I don't know where the confidence was coming from and it seemed to surprise him to because his steel blue eyes were twice the size of mine.“I think I do and if you want to be a slut, do it somewhere private, don't embarrass me.” He screamed. We were beginning to gather attention but I didn't care, Leon wasn't going to disrespect me like that today, not after what he did.“That is so rich coming from you. Last time I checked you were sticking your tongue down my sister's throat and your fingers in-between her legs!” I retorted fiercely.The crowd gasped. All eyes turned
“You should stop crying, I didn't kidnap you.” His voice ran through the car.I wanted to tell him to back off and mind his damn business, instead I settled with snorting.I couldn't make any details of his Palace when we made it through the gates, it was dark and I was myopic. But I could see the water fountain, it was in the heart of the entrance. His Palace was surprisingly big from the inside compared to how it looked outside.“Brother” A slender girl with long golden blonde locks, green eyes in a black bodycon dress made her way towards us.She stopped when she saw me, taking in my appearance from head to toe and it was that moment I felt glad about Eleanor's borrowed dress.My heart sank at the thought of her. How was she going to get it back?I saw the lingering questions in the blonde girl’s eyes, it made me fidget. What did she think of me?“Who is she?” She asked as she peered at me.“This is errrrr….” he looked at me for help. He didn't even know my name.“Arielle” I was su
I couldn’t remember when I fell asleep, a knock on the door woke me up. It was the Lycan King and behind him was a maid, she held a tray of breakfast,after dropping it off, she hurried away, returning with a pair of dresses in hangers, dropping them off again, she hurried away. “How did you sleep?” He asked when we were finally alone. “Good” He nodded understandingly. “You should do your thing, I’ll be back when I think you are done.” He stated while pointing at the breakfast, the clothes and what I had assumed to be the bathroom. This time, I did the nodding and boom! He was gone. I ran my hands through the fabric of the dresses, I had never owned anything like this. Even if the Lycan King was lending it to me, I felt happy. The rest showed too much cleavage or the corsets were too tight. I stuck with the forest green dress, the neck was high enough and the green complemented my red hair a little, at least that was what I thought. I stared at the view from my room, the were r
The Lycan king had come to remind me of brunch with his mother and I couldn't be more scared. I knew it wasn't going to end well. “Just breathe,” Sheliah whispered. Of course I named my wolf. The walk to where we were having brunch was awfully quiet, I couldn’t remember passing through so many doors last night. When we finally made it there, it was the rooftop, a table had been set up there and the view was magnificent … well, breathtaking. A waterfall poured from above, forming a small pond, which reflected the woods in every direction. The sky was clear blue with puffy clouds, not too high or too low for it to be uncomfortable. A light breeze rustled the leaves on the tree tops. It was perfect. I could have stayed here all day if only it weren’t for the fact that this morning the Lycan King's mother had summoned me here. My stomach lurched at the thought. The table was covered in a baby pink tablecloth, flowers were in little vases, along with glasses filled with red wine. There we
I had imagined it, nothing crept toward me, I didn't hear a thud but the footsteps around my door was there.“Arielle?” I heard his voice, and relief washed over me.At least it wasn't a monster.I opened the door and came face to face with him. It was only when he moved into the room that I saw a maid was behind him but his large frame had concealed her.Dropping off whatever she was carrying in that tray, she eyed me before hurrying out of the room. It was only then I came to the realization that I had stripped off my dress and was wrapped In sheets.My face burned.I looked up at the Lycan King to see if he was staring at me inappropriately but he was looking everywhere in the room except at me and when he finally looked at me, his eyes didn't roam.I thought he was such a gentleman but what if it wasn't about being a gentleman? what if he didn't find me attractive at all? and it hurt.What if he thought of himself as better than me? I told myself that it didn't matter but it did.
I almost scoffed at her. What did she think the Lycan King was? a trophy that she could claim at any time? even trophies had competitors not like I was one.“Okay” I told her, she could have him back, I didn’t even know where I belonged.I think she was looking for a fight because my response had gotten her riled up.“You think you are smart huh?” what was she? a five year old?“Look I am not interested in whatever you want, he might be my mate,true. Moreover he isn’t a thing that you toss around and get whenever, he’s an actual person and I think he’s old enough to decide “ I yanked my hand off her grip. I hope I wasn’t defensive, I was trying to be neutral. “Unbelievable!”She snarled at me, like she couldn’t believe her ears with a priceless expression on her face and stalked away to a corner of the garden. Her arms crossed over her chest and she was muttering something about my stupidity.“And you bite, Mother was right, how many façades do you have?” His voice rang behind me. How
