MARCUS P.O.V"Buzz... buzz… buzz…" The vibration of my phone awoke me from my sleep as I gently opened my eyes. I was so weak and could feel my head spinning. Where am I? I whispered to myself, gently sitting up. It was a small stable with grasses littered on the floor as I could see three horses and beside me was a manger.I couldn't tell how I got here and even as I tried to think my head gave me hurting bangs in return, I pulled my gaze away from the horses to my hands."Goodness," My eyes spring wide and my heart begins racing at my sight. My hands were covered in blood and my shirt was stained in bloodI hovered my eyes back to the horses to see if I had hurt any of them but I didn't, and just that instant I recalled the lady who had tried to rape me last nightThe visions of what happened weren't still clear but I knew something occurred. I hope I didn't do it? I hope I didn't do what I was thinking? I thought to myself because I thought I killed her, I thought the lady at the
MARCUS P.O.V "Is there a problem?" Alicia asked as she waggled her eyes to me.The problem wasn't who Jason is because I knew he was a vampire, the problem was how did he get so acquainted with Alicia? "Is there something you guys aren't telling us?" Kathrine asked."It's nothing," Jason broke the silence between us. "I know him from somewhere and in our precious contact we got into conflict," Katherine's suspicious countenance altered and she said. "If that is the case then today is the right time to get united again," "Can I have a moment with you Alicia," I said to her but before she could utter a word Jason held her by the hand."No, she is going nowhere," Jason said.I wanted to react but starting a fight with a vampire in a restaurant wasn't a good idea especially when I can't change freely to my werewolf form so I held my peace.I glared at his hand which was clinging tight on her wrist."Let go Jason, you are hurting me," Alicia said but he wouldn't but held his fixed gaze
MARCUS P.O.VIt was a two hours ride to Morgan's little home in the village and Alicia and I had spent hours in a conversation about our likes and hates. I made sure she did most of the speaking and I did the listening but we tried as much as possible not to speak of anything aside from human lifestyle.She told me a lot about her experiences when she was away from California, she told me about her beautiful life with her aunt and amazing friends, a time when she was free to be happy and had plenty of laughter. Sitting still and listening to her while she poured her heart out, smiling and crying was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen and it was a life that I am sad to steal from her,I only hoped that getting into her life wouldn't destroy those sparks, I was determined that no matter what happened I wouldn't make her like me, she had to be a human like she is.When we arrived at Morgan's home, he was seated on a short wooden chair at the front of his one bedroom flat with his
MARCUS P.O.V "What do we do?" Travis said but my mind was far from his question.How would we escape this without me triggering my wolf form? What will Travis say If he sees my monster side?This is a wrong time to show what I am but if i don't he will die. I could see the glowing eyes of the dreadful lions sneaking out of the bushes. There were three lions and the other seven were lionesses.While I kept observing them Travis shot a bullet at one of the lions but he failed to get the shot since his hands were trembling.I thought the gunshot would scare the lions away but it didn't, rather It provoked more wrath in them.One of the lioness mounted towards Travis as he shielded himself with the gun, however the weight of the lioness dropped him to the floor.The teeth of the lioness gnashed tightly on the gun as it fought hard to pull it off and force its way to Travis neck."Help Marcus," Travis said, still struggling to get himself free from the cat but couldn't and the other lions
MARCUS P.O.V "Travis please…" Alicia pleaded.I stared at his angry eyes and I knew he wasn't going to accept our plea."He is a monster," Travis answered. His statement put fright on their faces. Morgan's wrinkled skin got worse and I could tell that he never wanted it to be true."How could you say that sweetheart?" Emily said."I am not kidding or making up stories, I witnessed it myself, there were ten forest lions and he fought against them swinging them haggardly on stems of trees," Hearing Tyler's accusations, Morgan asked me if all he was saying was the truth.There was no denying it now so I had to answer plainly. "Yes, I am not human,""You lied to us, you said that you fought against only one lion but there were ten?" Emily said like she was hurt."Why did you not tell us what you are?" Morgan asked."Because I know that you will not accept me for what I am," I replied.Travis affirmed my prediction to be true. He was never going to accept me so he suggested that I leave t
ALICIA'S P.O.V When Marcus brought me into the restaurant I knew something was off, we just had a bad day so why he insisted we had this meal was something that i couldn't understand. Probably it was a make up for what I had witnessed in Morgan's home but I didn't see a reason why he would do this because of that since he was the one who was hurt and not me. Even while our conversation went on I relaxed putting up all the amusing biography of my childhood which I enjoyed but what Is happening right before my eyes is something unexpected.I loved Marcus but even though I do I wouldn't want our relationship to begin this way. "Marcus, I am sorry but I don't think this is the right timing," I said but what came next was stunning."Yes It is. This is a magical moment for me and for once in previous times i can tell that you believe I am upset but I'm not. it's been so long since I felt this way and your answer today will change my life forever, I am more happy than I have ever been befor
ALICIA'S P.O.V There were sounds of people cheering, rejoicing and clapping by my left and right side. For a brief moment I didn't know what was happening, not until I realised I was dressed in a beautiful wedding gown and I was standing on the aisle. Still uncertain about what was going on I heard a deep voice by my right side as I looked to see that it was my father Eddie and he was dressed in a comely black suit."Dad," I said, drifting my eyes down to his left palm which was open to me. "What Is going on?" I asked."Today is your wedding day, come on sweetheart," He said gently with a smile on his face as I took hold of his hand.I looked forward to the altar to see the priest and Marcus who was dressed in a comely blue suit and a cute smile was on his face. His smile was so real and attractive that I couldn't take my eyes off until I arrived at the altar and made my way opposite him.Everyone settled down at the priest's command as he made us say our marriage vows which after we
MARCUS P.O.VThe moment I stepped into Alicia's home I got the impression that today would be one of the days I had to be on my best behaviour. Of course I had met with Alicia's father and even helped him on a crime case but his countenance this morning showed me that he was going to take a different turn. Trying to read his mind wasn't going to change a thing because I could sense he would go dynamic. At this point I could see only one picture in his eyes and it was nothing more than a widower who was sad about giving away his only child."Marcus right?" He furrowed his eyebrows as he pressed his lips together. His hesitation crept the hell out of me and no matter how hard I tried to read his mind I still could not, and following after it was an unexpected question."Why Alicia? Why must it be my daughter?" He asked.The question was simple but I was careful, because it had to be what he wanted to hear. "It's because i love her,""Love," He chuckled. "You love her… what do you do for
