"A-are they gone?" She pressed her ear against the door, hoping to hear a sound but there was not sound.
"Hmm…I guess they are gone," She heaved a sigh of relief and was about to open the door, but something cold as ice touched her arms and pulled her.
She tried screaming but a hand covered her mouth and all her scream died. She bite the palm but the person didn't budge.
"Sigh, what are you doing here, Woman?" A deep voice questioned. She felt a hot breath on her nape, tickling her a little.
"Mm?" She shouted 'who?' but it came out as a muffle. She felt the voice was very familiar but she couldn't pick point where she had heard the voice before.
A cold hand ran through her nape and something sharp pierced her neck. She tried wiggling away but failed. She felt her heart race increased as memories of what happened in the forest flashed through her mind.
'He is the one! This voice! It was from the werewolf when I blanked out,' She screamed helplessly, regretting why she had to come out from the room granted to her. She doesn't want to lose her life, her heart dropped dead, when the door leading to theirs opened slowly.
"Your highness, Should we prepare for the banquet now or continue with the game?" A voice questioned helplessly.
A game?
"Sigh, why do you have to interrupt now of all time Edwin? When I was just about to to taste a little," The man chuckled a little and released her from his grip. Amelia losed weight and fell hard on the floor, her soul lifeless.
"Ah! Your highness I think she needs medical check up now. Her heart race is lowering," Edwin said worriedly.
"There's no need for that, tell the guards to stop now and prepare for the banquet. The other clans wount stop at nothing to use this event to recruit more talents, I have to make sure our clan gets the best," The man said coldly.
Edwin nodded his head quietly and left there, locking the door in the process. Amelia slowly regained consciousness and was about to sit when the room light up.
She saw that she was in a black and white room, standing 2 feet away from her was a gorgeous man on a small towel tied around his waist. His black silky hair fell on his shoulders wet, some water trail down to his chiseled legs.
She sat flabbergasted witha flushed face that is if she lowered down a little an ungodly sight will take place. She just simply stare at his face not knowing where to look at and she regretted it immediately.
A pair of blue eyes stared at her, piercing through her soul. His thick brows, red thin lips, chiseled jawline. She gulped and stared at the strong arms and abs, he look like a Greek god in her eyes.
She stared hungrily at him, feeling that she had to touch those arms and sleep on them day and night.
"What do you want?" Her thoughts were interrupted by his cold voice. She stared back at him and saw his cold face.
"I- I nothing," She felt speachless and recalled what the man said earlier, her face flushed with anger.
"You knew I was about to escape! No, let's say you planned all these to you with me?" She frowned slightly.
The stranger simply laughed at her and turned towards the wardrobe in the room. He stood same height with the wardrobe and she wonder how he can be so tall and handsome at the same time.
"Woman, you are too fragile to survive outside. What I just did was a predicament, I truly didn't know if you would escape or not," He replied back at her with a strange accent she didn't notice before.
The man turned and removed the towel tied around his waist so suddenly that Amelia failed to close her eyes shut. Her face turned breet red as she felt like killing someone.
She quickly looked away as she curse silently. Soon, she heard the sound of footsteps but she didn't dare to open her eyes, afriad that something will appear before her eyes.
"You can open your eyes now," He said appearing like he told her to close them before.
Her eyes snapped opened and she yelled out at him angrily.
"Why didn't you tell me you were about to dress up?! Can't you see that a lady is in your room?" She said angrily.
He simply laughed at her in return and wore his robe. He sat at the mirror combing his long hair like a woman.
"Don't worry you will get us to it soon, infact you will be begging to see such a gorgeous sight repeatedly," He chuckled in response, as he didn't take her seriously.
"Ahh you!" She almost spat out a mouthful of blood but there was nothing she could do. She could only sit and wait.
"The maids will be here very soon. There's an important occasion today and I want you to be there as my mate," He said and glanced at her.
She froze, and couldn't say a word in return. Her kind was In a mess as her inner voice scream for help.
'He was the one that attacked my team!' A trace of hatred flashed through her eyes as she glared at him.
All she felt at this moment was to run as far away from here as possible. She doesn't want to have anything to do with him, not now, not never.
"Hmm? Are you alright?" He asked with a frown. He felt the change of aura from her and he could hear her heart race increased.
"I am fine, I'll take emy leave now back to my room. I do not want the maids to see me here," She got up and head towards the door. Without turning she opened the door and left, only his gaze stared at her back.
She felt like everything was lost, they onl came here to tour round the island but…it seems she was never going to return back. It has been days since her teams left this place but no rescue team has come yet. Her telephone wasn't with her and she wasn't sure if these people have any technology for communication at all.
Strangely, somehow, she felt like she was traded here just for her mates to go back safely.
"No one ever cares," She sighed heavily and locked up herself in the room. Waiting for the maids to make the preparation for the banquet.
Soon, it was time for them to leave. Amelia wore a long red gown with no hands. The man wore a red and black robe to match with hers.They both walked hand in hand as they got into the wagon and headed towards their destination."Woow, so beautiful," She gasped in awe at the beautiful sight before her. They were in a huge palace in the middle so a mountain, the huge tress surrounding it and the dense clouds."Here, isn't the only place with beauty," The man replied casually.She simple nodded and waited for them to reach their destination.Meanwhile, in a grand palace surrounded by sky-scrapers and machines. People on different luxurious attire sat on the rows of chairs surrounding the huge table that had a picture being displayed on it."We can't accept this, we just can't," A bald headed man with long mustache as a mork tap his fingers on the hologram."There is nothing we can do, August, there is nothing," A strong faced woman said, quietly."The survivors claimed there be done bei
Amelia stared back at the piercing red eyes that stared into her green ones, she quickly looked up at Augusta who smiled back at her. "This is Dante, he's a doctor." Augusta introduced him to the man who stood in front of her with a wide smile that sent chills down her spine. "Hello, Dante, nice to meet you." Amelia curtsied with a smile on her face as Augusta held her shoulder protectively glaring at Dante who understood and walked away quickly. "He's weird," Amelia muttered walking alongside Augusta who didn't like that she was talking to someone else. "All doctors are weird my love." Augusta shrugged now seated with Amelia who stared around the hall. "Is anything the matter? I told you not to be nervous As long as I am with you." Augusta told Amelia trying to make her less tense as she scooted closer to him feeling the penetrating gaze others have her. "If you wanted to be this close you would have said so darling," Augusta said as his breath tickled her ear and sent waves of
"What do you mean you want me to be your wife? I have a home to return to." Amelia snapped at him stunned by what he had just said. "Exactly what you heard darling." He said looking at her again but she was still trying to grasp what he just said."Do you think you're a welcomed guest? You're human and many see you as either a prey or an enemy… I doubt you would be able to survive on your own, so I want you to stay by my side." He explained to her as his heart raced in anticipation wanting her to agree with him."What makes you think so? Why don't you just set me free?" She questioned him as she thought of her parents who she didn't have time to say goodbye to."You had no idea that once you set foot in here you're a prisoner…. I'm giving you an opportunity I won't give to anyone else, you must become my wife since I let your friends go." He said with an unreadable expression that made her feel sick."I'll think about it," Amelia muttered. She didn't want to make an irrational decisio
"You had a different scent when you walked in." He told her and she asked as realization hit her. She had forgotten she wasn't dealing with an ordinary man but an alpha who was smart."You must have smelt wrong." Amelia snapped at him and his lips formed into a smile making her wonder what he might do to her."Well since you're bent on lying to your husband, let's make you talk." He whispered in her ear as his cool breath tickled her. Augusta released mating pheromones that made her head light and hazy."Now tell me, where were you?" He growled in her ear as he bit her ear lightly as she bit her lips wondering why her body was failing her and sucuumbing to his touch"In… the hall…. I slept… ahhh." Amelia moaned as her body felt hot wanting to be in his grasp."You're really bad at lying darling, why don't I break these legs so you won't leave here anymore?" Augusta teased as his hands trailed between her legs as she huffed in pleasure, her eyes trailed down to his visible budge that p
Amelia walked through the halls as she is led to her new room by a maid, Augusta had suggested she stayed in the same room as him as they were now married, but she didn't feel the need for him to do so but still complied as she didn't have an option. She was deep in thought when she bumps one someone and lands on the floor, she raised her head meeting a familiar set of eyes."Why do you make it a habit not to watch your way while walking." He snapped at her as she rolled her eyes annoyed he didn't help her up. She got up and noticed the maid leading her to her room had disappeared and she couldn't make her way to the room without needing help as this place was still unfamiliar to her."Why do you make it a habit to always appear out of nowhere." Amelia retired back at him angrily as she crossed her arms over her chest."Hmmm… feisty, just the way I like them," Oscar smirked at her as his face was inches away from hers which was intimidating as she took a step back."That's no way to t
Oscar held the red orb substance in hand as he lifted it to the sky smiling to himself as stared at the orb in happiness. He was holding the one thing Augusta was searching for desperately in his hands as he felt like a god. He could get whatever he wanted with this orb, Amelia, become a king, and have Augusta under his clutches. But first, he was going to make Augusta suffer by taking what he loved the most…. Amelia."You seem to like it a lot don't you?" A voice whispered to Oscar who snarled at the lady as she had appeared out of nowhere which was a habit of hers."What do you want?" He growled at her for interrupting his quiet time, she laughed as she sat on his hands with her claws dressing his face."I missed you and decided to pay you a short visit." She giggles as her eyes stared down at the orb in his hands as he hid it in his pocket."It looks nice up close, why don't you let touch it?" She pouted with pleasing eyes leaning closer to him but he pushed her away from him getti
Augusta's eyes snapped open as he took a peek at his surroundings, he had dreamt about being in the arms of his wife and the dream witch had used that to subdue him. He lifted his body from the floor and listened to the cackle that echoed in the dark forest where even the moonlight could never penetrate. It felt as though there was no life in the forest but there was indeed a lot. Augusta looked around for any of his men but he didn't find them."Come out right now." He yelled at the cackle that seemed to get closer to him and suddenly stopped as his ear listened attentively for any sound."Awwnn, bad wolfie."
Chapter 11. Amelia sat alone by her bedroom window, watching people from above. It felt strange. It looked new, the way things had drastically changed for her. From being a researcher to now being the wife of a wolf king. Her life felt like a television show. The type she would like to see.She heaved a sigh as she brought herself back to reality. She observed the beautiful alignment of the island and how it looked so peaceful and organized. No outsider would know how magical this city was until they came here. She saw a couple in the street below. They were holding hands and showing public displays of affection. Amelia felt a sharp pang of sadness in her chest. She used to be like that with a certain boy. Zack. She thought of Zack, and all the plans they had made together. He had promised to love her and marry her as she spent six of her precious years with him, not knowing the truth.Amelia turned to look inside her room. She placed her hand on the window frame to support her wei
