He pinned her on the wall, sniffing in her fresh scent. What was he trying to do? Trying to rain insults on her again? "I don't know why..." He hesitated before using his right hand to remove a strand of her hair. Her heartbeat accelerated. "...you're this tempting." She gulped harder, and her eyes widened in surprise because she couldn't believe her ears. He leaned closer as he could hear her heartbeat racing. He niches his lips on her ears and whispers certain words to her enough to send shivers down her spine. "You thought I was blind...but let me tell you, I was blinded by your beauty!" Diana's breath was seized. He knew what her expression would be, his lips curved into a smile. "I want to devour you like the beast that I am. I'm no angel, an insatiable wolf in sheep's clothing...that's what I am." ______________ A Kingdom whereby suitors are chosen by the father when the woman clocks eighteen, she would be married off to the man her father chose for her. Rejection means she was inviting death. Diana was not exceptional. Her father married her off into the Royal family...married off to the blind prince of the King. To avoid being beheaded... ....she ran into the wolf's den. Made a deal with the devil...unknown to her that he was her rejected suitor!
Lihat lebih banyakThe gloaming enchanted castle was said to be occupied by terrors.
It was located meters away from the reach of humans. The castle couldn't be sold because it was plagued and filled with despair. No one dared to even step foot close to the castle surrounded by dead bushes.
Except they were all making a death wish.
The Lord of the dark was said to live there and was the one who brought great misfortune to the land.
He lived among humans and was a scary blind creature behind a mask.
He was darkness itself and a true form of darkness. He was called the man of the dark. Light has nothing to do with him.
A bloodsucker that no one would like to befriend.
How true was it? Not all rumors are true! Who knows if anyone was truly residing in the enchanted castle when no one has been there?
Diana looked ahead at the gloaming enchanted castle from afar. It was scarier than she has pictured it to be.
The dark clouds hovered around the peak of the castle. The dark clouds formed a scary creature, enough to make her run away for her life.
But she hesitated.
She had already risked her life to come this far and wasn't going to give up all of a sudden.
The gates guarding the castle were not fully opened and she had to go through the dried bushes. Her feet were swollen with all sorts of bruises but still, she was determined not to turn back.
Running away from the lion's den to a place called hell.
It was like another place on the earth called the dark earth.
She forcefully used her hand to push the gate open, the gate of hell.
Diana was welcomed by two giant statues in form of a dragon and she was standing in the middle of it.
Tears rolled down her cheeks because of the horrifying things surrounding the entrance of hell. She shouldn't have expected much.
The road was too narrow for her to pass and guessed that she must climb on top of one of the statues to get to her destination.
She climbed the statue with her eyes fully opened but the darkness overshadowed her. Her bare bruised feet were already bleeding because of the long walk and the sharp objects on the statue didn't make things any easier.
Diana's destination was a bit farther from the entrance and was tired. She sat on the statue, trying to catch her breath but there was no point in it so she had to continue with her awful journey.
After much exhaustion, Diana thought if she was insane to ask the demon lord for help. Running from the lion's den to hell was uncalled for.
However, the demon lord could still stand tall in dignity and power even amongst the crowd but she couldn't. Her hands were already stained with blood and were now referred to as a murderer with no dignity.
He was a powerful man, with the aura of danger surrounding him but still, he was noble and the King's last son but she...she was a woman without dignity...a murderer....a...
Diana snapped out of that thought, thinking about all of it would make her heartache and she might end up breaking into tears.
She clenched her hands into a fist and the pain and guilt in her heart motivated her to climb to the end of the statue.
As if the dark earth was against her motivation and zeal to climb off the statue, heavy rain poured out of the dark clouds.
Was it a sign to make her go back and face the world?
Diana shook her head. She couldn't beat the consequences and the people already condemned her.
A deep rumbling sound was heard from the sky, thunder and lightning were enough to get her frightened.
The thunder from above struck the head of the other dragon statue, the sculptured head fell to the ground with a heavy thud.
Diana felt the urge to run for her dear life. Once she reached the end of the statue, she climbed down, fighting the obstacles; the fuzzy wind, and the rain that sent shivers down her body. She paused for a moment to catch her breath.
She came prepared but didn't expect things to turn out the way it was.
She examined the castle in front of her but she couldn't do it properly because her eyes were begging to be shut down.
The castle had chunky walls and obsidian and the widows were scattered on the walls forming a specific pattern that she couldn't describe.
It had a vast entrance that comprises small towers on each side. The step leading to the entrance were made of stones instead of bricks.
The cold was starting to get her all freeze, she quickly made her way to the entrance. The entrance was made with two large doors with knockers in form of a dragon head.
Was this demon lord obsessed with dragons?
Her heartbeat was accelerating and she moved from glaring at the dragon knockers to knocking at the door. She was going easy with the door as she forcefully knocked. She would die of cold at any minute.
A creaking sound came from the door and it opened with smoke coming from the inside.
Diana held her breath. The torture she was receiving was more than getting beheaded.
When the smoke suddenly made its way out, she was greeted by total darkness. The only thing that could be heard was the sound coming from her heartbeat.
Curious to know what was hiding behind the walls of the dark enchanted castle.
Without beating around the bush, she lets her curiosity get the better of her and peeked her way inside.
Her mouth opened, wanting to say something but nothing came out. She stood in there like a statue and heard the large door closing with a loud bang.
She was scared almost to death. Her heart jumped from its position to her mouth and she swallowed it back to its position in fear.
The feeling that the wind must have shut the door didn't cross her mind. She was all clothes in fear.
Diana's legs were shaking, and her breath seized. Her whole world was coming to an end. She needed a place to stay and rest her head but her only option turned out to be a nightmare.
Having the feeling that someone was standing behind her, Diana wished for the darkness to take the whole of her away.
Where did her boldness disappear to? It had left her the very moment she opened the large doors.
She gathered enough courage but was still trembling in fear before turning around to face the person, her gaze met with the demon lord of hell.
As Diana settled into the carriage, she couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment. She had been enjoying their time at the castle and didn't want it to end so soon. She turned to Damon, who was sitting next to her, and asked, "Why didn't you tell me we were leaving today?"Damon remained silent, which only added to Diana's frustration. She turned her attention to Sir Galahad and Sir Richard, who were sitting across from them. "How long will the journey take?" she asked.Sir Richard cleared his throat before replying, "It should take us about two days to reach the palace, my lady."Diana let out a sigh and leaned back against her seat. She gazed out the window at the passing countryside, which was filled with lush green fields and tall trees. "It's a shame we have to leave this beautiful place," she said wistfully.Sir Galahad nodded in agreement. "Indeed, it is. But duty calls, and we must answer."As they continued their journey, the environment around them changed. The lush g
Under the light of the full moon, a group of werewolves gathered in the forest. They were all pale-skinned, their eyes glowing in the darkness as they waited for their leader, Chaos, to arrive.As Chaos emerged from the shadows, the werewolves fell silent. He was a towering figure, with jet-black fur and piercing yellow eyes. He looked around at his followers, his expression cold and unreadable."Chaos, we were curious about the woman in the prophecy," one of the werewolves spoke up. "The celestial spirit told us that you need to be redeemed. Is it true that you have feelings for her?"Chaos snarled, his teeth bared. "That is none of your concern. The prophecy is just a means to an end. Our goal is to take revenge against the humans and gain dominion over the world."The werewolves murmured in agreement, but one of them spoke up. "But Chaos, if you are redeemed, won't that mean that we won't be able to achieve our goal? We need you to be coldhearted and ruthless."Chaos glared at the
Diana had been enjoying her stay at the lonely castle for the past few days. She had been exploring every nook and cranny of the castle, admiring the beautiful paintings and sculptures that adorned the walls and floors. She had also been spending a lot of time in the gardens, which were filled with colorful flowers and exotic plants.However, she had noticed that Damon had not been enjoying his stay as much as she had. Whenever Diana tried to make conversation with him, he would ignore her or give her short, monosyllabic answers.One day, after several failed attempts to engage Damon in a conversation, Diana finally managed to get him to talk to her. "So, Damon, what do you think of the costume party that's happening next week?" she asked, trying to sound casual.Damon sighed and looked up from his book. "I don't really care about the party, Diana," he replied, his voice flat.Diana was taken aback by his response. "But it's going to be so much fun! I've already made a costume for the
Damon felt the warmth of Diana's arms around him as he slowly opened his eyes. The room was dark, with only the soft glow of the moonlight filtering in through the curtains. As he gently slid out of bed, he could feel Diana's body stirring slightly, but he knew he had to leave.He carefully lifted Diana, cradling her in his arms, and carried her to her own bed. He gently laid her down, tucking her in and placing a soft kiss on her forehead before turning to leave.As he made his way to the window, he could feel the restlessness building within him. He had never slept before, his blindness making it impossible for him to fully rest. Instead, he had other duties to attend to at midnight.With a deep breath, Damon raised the window and leaped out into the cool night air. As soon as his feet hit the ground, his body began to shift and contort. Bones cracked and muscles stretched as he transformed into a magnificent wolf.The transformation was always exhilarating, and Damon relished the f
Prince Damon lay in his bed, the darkness of the room enveloping him. He heard footsteps approaching and a soft rustling as Diana, his new companion, settled into her own bed on the other side of the room."Goodnight, Prince Damon," Diana said softly."Goodnight, Diana," Damon replied, his voice cool and distant.There was a moment of silence before Diana spoke again. "I know this is an unusual arrangement, but I hope we can both make the best of it."Damon sighed. "Yes, it is certainly unusual. But I suppose we must make the best of it, as you say."Diana shifted in her bed. "Is there anything I can do to make you more comfortable, Your Highness?"Damon frowned. "I am blind, Diana. I do not require comfort."Diana's voice was gentle. "I understand that, but I still want to make sure you are not feeling uneasy in any way."Damon was silent for a moment before he spoke again. "Very well, if it will make you feel better, you may light a candle."Diana lit a candle on the nightstand betw
Damon and Diana rode in silence as they approached the castle. The journey had been long and exhausting, and Diana was feeling uneasy. She had heard rumors about the blind prince Damon, and his reputation for being cold and unapproachable made her nervous.As they arrived at the castle, the knights who had escorted them – Sir Richard and Sir Galahad – bid them farewell and rode off into the distance.Damon and Diana dismounted their horses and made their way into the castle. It was dark and drafty, and Diana shivered as they walked down the long, winding corridors.Finally, they came to a stop in front of a large wooden door. Damon pushed it open, and a musty smell wafted out."This will be our bedroom," he said, gesturing inside.Diana peered in, her eyes widening in shock. "This is...our bedroom?" she asked incredulously.The room was sparse and unfurnished, with just a single bed in the center. The walls were bare, and the windows were covered in thick curtains that blocked out al
Prince Raymond sat at the head of the table, his father, the old king, to his right. The large, ornate courtroom was filled with advisors and important figures from around the kingdom. The topic at hand was the recent attacks by a werewolf that had been terrorizing the kingdom, targeting young women and brutally murdering them."I propose that we increase the number of guards in the affected areas, Your Highness," said one of the advisors, a grizzled old man with a thick beard. "We need to ensure the safety of our citizens.""Agreed," said Raymond, nodding his head. "We will also offer a reward for any information leading to the capture of the werewolf. We need to bring an end to this before any more innocent lives are lost."The others around the table murmured their agreement, but Raymond couldn't help but notice that his younger brother, the Crown Prince Klaus, remained silent throughout the meeting. It was unusual for Klaus to not speak up during these types of discussions, and
Charles trudged his way back home, with grocery bags in his hands. The sun had set a while ago, casting the city into darkness. It was a quiet night, with the occasional sounds of passing cars and honking. As he walked, his thoughts drifted to the prince's offer. The crown prince wanted him by his side as an ally. Charles wondered about the benefits this alliance would bring and how it would further his goals. But he could not shake his apprehension about the prince's ulterior motives.Finally, he arrived home to find Elena serving dinner on the dining table. Charles couldn't help but feel exhausted as he sat down. Elena seemed to notice his fatigue and asked him about his day, and what he bought from the market. He told her in detail about his encounter with the prince, about his offer of an alliance, and how it could benefit them. Elena listened eagerly, her eyes shining with greed."That could help us a lot," Elena said with a sly look, and Charles realized that she was not con
Prince Klaus rode on his horse towards the main crowded market, the sun beating down on his skin. He had heard of a man called Charles, a fisherman who had supplied the fish for their royal feast. Klaus had heard rumors that Charles had connections throughout the kingdom and might just be the ally that Klaus had been searching for.As he rode through the busy marketplace, Klaus spotted Charles selling fish to the crowded customers. Klaus couldn't believe his luck, he had just stumbled upon the man he had been looking for.Klaus approached Charles slowly, making sure not to startle him. Charles, however, had already recognized Klaus and his intentions."What do you want with me, your royal highness?" asked Charles, eyeing Klaus with suspicion."I need your help. I'm on a mission to ascend the throne, and I want you to be my ally," replied Klaus earnestly, looking Charles straight in the eye.Charles paused for a moment, contemplating. "And why should I help you?"Klaus, not one to shy
