Fifteen years later
The world continued its course, my pack had been consolidated thanks to Ariana's contributions. Albert, today he was returning home after fourteen years studying at the academy. Although he always saw for special dates or the anniversary of his mother's death, this time his return was different, because he saw to stay.Ariana gave orders to her people, while I had become a gardener who kept the garden where Aitana rests beautiful. Although to be honest there is little I have to do, because the islanders take turns every few hours to take care of the flowers and bring new ones in honor of the woman who fought to the end.So, I am almost all the time exercising, answering Ariana's tough questions so my brain doesn't rust and going to medical checkups at the insistence of my children. But, today, I would not be the boring man in his monotonous routine, today I would see my son. That one who had succeeded in that academy that now had tIt wasn't long before my wedding. One that I have been looking forward to for years even though I don't know my fiancé. Well, not personally, since, as the years have gone by, we have exchanged photos of what we look like.So, every minute that passes, makes my anxiety grow to finally see the man that through pictures has made me fall in love and so, now I am going to fulfill my dream; to be his wife. For years I followed his triumphs and failures, worked hard to live up to him and at last, I will be his wife."You look beautiful, my dear.""Thank you, Mr. Mayer. I'm glad to have someone by my side." I say excited to have a warm, knowing smile on this special day."Even though both of your parents aren't here, you should smile, this is an amazing day where you are finally going to get to meet and be happy as lord and lady of the pack.""I hope you see it that way. Because seeing that he arrived yesterday and hasn't come to see me, it worries me, could it be that he doesn't like me the
I have never felt so unwanted as I do now. While it's understandable that he doesn't love me because we've barely seen each other and that his father has died and he's sensitive, none of that justifies his mistreatment."What did I do to him, did I offend him to make him treat me this way?" I ask painfully."He must be confused. Don't make a big deal out of what he's doing. Surely he has an explanation for doing this" says the butler. The euphoric shouting causes me to look towards the source of the noise and my gaze meets his. The music begins to play loudly and everyone jumps up and down excitedly, while Helmut watches me as if he is amused by my state."None of his excuses, can justify how he is acting" I mutter painfully. "Ma'am... maybe he."'Will you continue to wear that ridiculous wedding dress when it's clearly not necessary, wife?' asks Helmut using wolf communication to taunt me.'You're a badass' I say and Helmut smirks in satisfaction.Ready to jump the castle in order
Omnipresent narratorHelmut smiles as he watches the she-wolf leave for the forest and it is at that moment that he pushes the women away and orders the music turned up louder, so that Aitana can hear them celebrate having humiliated her, though she really resents the loud music."Sir, I already delivered the message." Wolf informs his boss, when he first arrives."Good thing, because I was worried there was another crazy woman dressed as a bride in that castle." Helmut says in a mocking tone, as he grabs a bottle of wine."Have you seen her?" asks the wolf with obvious concern and that's when Helmut turns off the music, as he watches the women he has kissed, begin to pale."She ran off into the woods" replies Helmut downplaying something that would make any husband angry."And he let her go?" asks the beta wolf clearly concerned and surprised to see how it had all ended."She's a beta, she should know how to defend herself. Oh, right, she was raised to be an ornament of a wife." Helm
Helmut looked angry. Like he cared what his wife was doing. Though really it was just a reaction to how territorial and possessive wolves are."That doesn't matter to you." Aitana says coldly."Look, Baitana, I don't care whether or not you die because of me, but, what, I do care and resent, is that you would be so bold as to be unfaithful to me on our first wedding night. So, tell me, who the hell was close enough to you to leave their foul scent?"The anger was evident in Helmut and for the first time in the evening, Aitana smiles at seeing her husband upset and at something she has done.'Finally you're feeling discomfort. It's about time I wasn't the only one having a bad night' Aitana says to herself mentally.'Let go of me, you're hurting me' says Aitana with difficulty and that makes Helmut push her away as she angrily backs away."Who came near you?" he asks again seeing that she doesn't answer his question."Does that matter to you?" asks Aitana annoyed and Helmut, seeing tha
Helmut walked towards his castle and when he arrived he confirmed what his curse reminded him again and again when he tried to enjoy a woman. The girls he had kissed who were overly powerful betas had died just from giving them pleasure from kissing them. "Sir, what do you want us to do now?" asks one of his subordinates."Send them to their families with plenty of money and forbid a single woman to serve me. I don't want any more unnecessary deaths." orders Helmut and his men nod knowing it is the only thing they can do for the dead she-wolves."What about his wife?""Let her become mistress and mistress of her castle and the garden, but, for nothing in the world let anything like today happen again." Helmut says coldly.The memory of the smell on Aitana, makes his head ache and with annoyance, he scolds his mind for thinking so much about something he shouldn't care about.'If she falls in love with someone, it's for the best. That way, if she manages to survive my curse she'll ha
There was no way to stop it and the worst thing was that the victim did not know what she was going to face and therefore did not even run. Even if she did, it was not going to save her. Two of his deceased wives can testify to that."Everyone run, inform the girls to get as far away from the lady as possible or she won't be able to survive today, without the lady knowing" says one of the stronger werewolves, as he tries to keep track of his boss.As he had ordered, they howl in code, so that only the she-wolves part of the special forces of the pack would understand. After all, they didn't want to waste time arguing with Aitana when the lives of all three were in danger.So, as soon as Aitana reached her, she gave her a strong blow to the back of the head and transforming Brenda into a wolf, she waited for them both to get on to run away from there as fast as they could, before it was too late."Run as fast as you can, if the boss catches up with us, he will kill us without even a li
The wolves' footsteps are heard closer and closer, while Helmut tries to stop what his body is doing on its own. Aitana, observing the hatred in his gaze, begins to cry and tremble."I assure you, if you let me go, I won't appear in front of you again. Just please, don't hurt me. I'm only nineteen years old. I have many things I want to experience, many things except death. >> Please don't kill me, it was a mistake to believe that fairy tales come true, but I've learned my lesson, so please spare my life, and let me go.” Aitana says in the middle of crying."Three of the wolves appear and pounce on Helmut, as they try to control their boss's ferocity. Immediately, Aitana runs to the nearest tree and using her experience climbing very fast trees, climbs to the highest and safest part while the wolves try to control their boss.Distressed and with the rain leaving her unable to see very far, she begs for her now husband to disappear completely. But, as she tries to hide with the thin b
Narrated AitanaThe night felt too short, and it was no wonder, in the middle of the rain I had to flee the island, because my husband wanted to kill me. So, neither in the car, nor on the yacht they used to take me off the island, I couldn't sleep. When I arrived at the house where I thought I was going to rest, many questions flooded my mind, and I could not sleep no matter how hard I tried. Exhausted, I see how the weak rays of the sun, cross the fabric of the curtains, while I check that it is not a dream what I lived last night.I look around and see my wedding dress that looks like anything but a wedding dress. I get up knowing I won't be able to sleep and using only my sheets to cover my nakedness, I enter the bathroom I refused to give myself last night."God, hopefully water is what I need to wake up from this nightmare" I ask in a whisper, as the water begins to moisten my body, as it mocks my naive thought of waking up from a reality where evidently, I won't be able to get
