.Kayah’s Point of viewI couldn’t help but shiver when Six ran his finger up the length of my neck and notched my chin up a little higher. The anger inside of me vanished as soon as my eyes connected with his. As if that had been some kind of sign for him, he slowly lowered his face down to mine. Already I could feel my heart racing inside of my chest and feel the blood pounding in my ears when he parted his lips slowly. His hot warm caressed my lower lips as he inched in even closer and then he growled.Suddenly he was pulling away from me with a deep frown set on his face. He turned his gaze towards the door and glared over at it. My body felt the loss of his heat, and I couldn’t help but shudder at the sudden chill I felt replacing it. Even though I had no clue what had just happened I still couldn’t take my eyes off of him. The way he was mumbling something under his breath and how he stomped over to the door made him seem absolutely breathtaking.Before the knock could even sound
I looked up into his friendly brown eyes wearily before giving him a small smile. “I like Ayah.”Mockingly he copied my smile and even tilted his head. I could feel my hackles rise at that and before I could stop myself I growled at him.“If you call me anything else I’ll shave the middle of your head.”Truthfully I had no clue what ‘shaving’ was but I knew it had something to do with hair and by the surprised look he was giving me I guess I was right. Red spun back around on the heels of his feet to face Six. Smile on his lips. “Hmmm?” Six asked“Six, I’m sensing something in your girlfriend!” he yelled with his arms in the airAgain with the girlfriend term! I’his wife! His queen! Well, runaway queen!Red spun back around so that he could grab hold of my hand and drag me over to the couch. He sat in-between me and Six and I couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed at that.“So,” Red placed his arm behind my shoulders. “How long have you two been together?”I looked down at Six’
Kayah’s Point of viewSix’s warm breath tickled my stomach when he let out a long sigh. For a moment I thought he was going to answer my question so I shut my mouth and watched him intently. A muscle in his jaw twitched right before he closed his eyes and nuzzled his cold nose near my navel. I shuddered at the feeling of him getting comfortable while my stomach did little flickering flips. Slowly his breathing became more even against my skin and I knew that he was trying to play it off that he was asleep. Tentatively I skimmed the surface of his face with the back of my figures until they were nestled into his dark hair. I tugged on the locks forcefully and was greeted with a low growl.“I wouldn’t do that again if I was you.” He warned before cracking open one of his eyes to glare at me.I smiled innocently down at him as I twirled a few strands of his hair between my fingers. “I wouldn’t avoid answering my question next time then.”A deep growl escaped from his lips as he lifted h
“What do you mean you’re thankful that she ran away? What if she’s already dead and-”“No, she’s alive. I can feel her. She’s there…somewhere,” he added and then looked at me. “She reminds me of you.”Ah if only I could tell you that it’s me and we’re having our pup!My chest tightened at the frustration I was feeling and automatically I felt like I was drowning in some kind of horrible suffocating blackness. I rubbed the tip of my nose against his begging him to continue so that the frustration I was feeling would eventually turn to happiness. He dragged his forehead away from mine and quickly buried his nose into the crook of my neck, taking a deep luxurious inhale before sighing.“Would you believe it if I told you that I felt like she was you.” He whispered.The sorrow in his voice made me feel even more pain, and then suddenly I was running my fingers through his dark hair and holding him against my neck. His hot breath warmed my flesh as he buried his face even deeper.Me? Yes
“Stop thinking about anything,” he said. “Thinking about what? You were a rogue. Rogues unit in a kingdom. What are you doing here?” I asked, curious. Six heaved a sigh. “Will you hate me if I curse your patron? Moon Goddess?” I blinked. “Curse? No, it's fine. I hate her anyway,” I replied, remembering what she did to me and the closest friends I had. She even used me to meet my mate. “Good because that Moon Goddess bitch, she freaking destroyed my kingdom. And now, I lost everything, my throne and my people. I could have become the monster she wanted me to be but thanks to Red, he wrapped it inside of me. That’s why I was looking for Kayah, she’s a healer and she can heal me. What else do you want to know?” “W-what happened to your kingdom then?” “My stupid younger brother became the king and her queen was Kayah’s twin. They are ruling it right now and they are hunting my ass since I managed to escape.” “I’m sorry,” I said, tears started to form on my eyes.
Kayah’s Point of ViewI could feel my throat tightened at what he said. Sure I was way out of my element but that didn’t mean that I was a complete moron when it came to survival. “You don’t know that. I would be perfectly fine on my own.”“In the first five seconds that you were in this world you almost got hit by a car.”“You can’t count that.”“I sure as hell can.”I frowned up at him and yanked my hand away from his but his grip was too firm so I just ended up playing a tug-a-war game. “Arg! Will you let go of me already! I can take care of myself.”His vibrant blue eyes flashed red and I instantly stopped trying to get away from him. His hard fingers unlaced themselves from my hand and moved slowly up my arm until his fingers were digging into my shoulder. I held back a whine from the sudden pain that was shooting up from my arm and stared into his mesmerizing eyes. Six closed the distance between us and leaned down towards me until his hot breath was ticking my ear. I jumped a
Kayah’s Point of viewI took a deep breath and looked ahead, the morning light played against the dark shabby bar, like a ghostly shadow bobbing in and out of an alleyway. In the foggy light Fang’s Bar and Grill resembled most of the other buildings that we had passed, casual and inviting, but once a dark figure moved within the bar its true face was unmasked. That one haunting shadow revealed so much in just an instant. The nightmarish bangs echoed through the air followed by screeching howls and inhuman gurgles.The smell of blood stained the air and filled my stomach until I was ill. Clinging to the smell of freshly spilled blood was something that I had come across before, it's hard stench burned my nostrils and back of my throat, until I was coughing for fresh air. The burning sensation that tickled my nose brought a watery sheen of unshed tears to my eyes.What was that awful smell?Every instinct I had, both human and animal, were screaming at me to get as far away from this pl
A few other wolves were leaning up against the side of the building when I was closing in on it. Their heads snapped over to my direction as I started to pass them, their eyes flashing yellow, and their grins growing wolfishly sharp as I passed. I crinkled my nose as I took a quick sniff of them and frowned. They smelt of human booze and something smoky but behind that was their dominant odor; which wasn’t that impressive compared to Six’s but then again I didn’t imagine a lot of people’s were . I shrugged my shoulder in reply and started to walk over to them. Our goal was to create a pack so I suppose I shouldn’t be that picking.Six growled low behind me putting a slight hitch in my step. “Not them. Their ferals.”Without even questioning him I turned my attention back on the large wooden bar doors. I had no clue as to what kind of wood they were made from. I suppose it didn’t really matter, I thought right before I kicked them in. The bulky doors swung open with a bang from my kic
The next few scenes were me being punched, kicked and slapped to almost make me pass out. My throat was already hurting due to the constant scream of vegging and leaving me alone. My chest started to bleed again and it stained the oversized white shirt Axel had given me. My screams were now replaced with loud sobs that made my lungs ache. I looked up in fear as the unknown man advanced towards me. He took a deep breath through his nose, and a wide smile spread across his face. Slowly, he walked towards me with deliberate and smooth steps. With each step he took, the malicious grin on his face got wider. I had scooted myself into a corner to try and escape his gaze and ferocity, and as he came to stand in front of me I tried pleading once more. "Please. I am begging you. Just leave me alone. You don't have to do this!" My words came out as sobs. "Shut up! You’re just a slave! You do not talk to me like that!" With another deep breath through his nose, he crouched down next to me a
I woke up to sunlight shining in my face, and the sound of a girl screaming. The sound was excruciatingly loud and sent chills up my spine. Above the screaming, I could hear Axel’s voice shouting. I couldn't make out the words, but he sounded furious and excited. The screaming continued for about another minute, until it slowly died down. The entire time this was happening, I sat cowering in the corner of my room, fearing I would be next to be screaming like that. But I made my decisions…to play safe..After what seemed like an eternity, I heard a door slam and footsteps coming my way. I cringed back in fear and huddled against the wall. The freshly stitched wounds on my chest reminded me of Axel’s brutality, and I didn't want to see what he was like when he was mad. My door was pushed open to reveal-of course- an infuriated Axel. He looked at my small frame huddled in the corner farthest from him, and smiled. I felt no comfort from his expression, only more fear. He stepped forward
I kept my head down and watched his feet as he approached me. Before I knew it, he was right next to me, lifting my chin upwards to look at his face. I tried to keep my eyes averted from his gaze and stop the tears that threatened to come again. "Look at me." His hot breath growled into my face.I slowly brought my eyes up to meet his. They were a deep, voidless black. This was the first good look I had gotten at his eyes and I hoped it would be my last. His black hair hung to the side with a few pieces escaping to fall on his forehead. A square jaw held light pink lips that always seemed to be smirking at me. His face was completely devoid of emotion, even though he was smirking. His eyes held nothing but emptiness and he looked at me as weak. It was terrifying being this close to him, and I could tell he knew I was uncomfortable. His hand grew tighter on my chin as I struggled desperately to free my head from his grip. I was beyond scared and wanted to be as far away from him as I
The envelope was brown. It doesn’t have a receiver or sender name.I should have felt it then, the warning, the poison in the air.Curious, I opened it anyway.The photograph slid out with a whisper.Seven’s face hit me first and beside him was a familiar face, too familiar, his arm wrapped around her. Hailey. The Moon Goddess. Her lips curved in a smirk so triumphant it made me sick.And between them was a baby. My baby.I staggered back a step, as if the floor itself had betrayed me. The little boy nestled in Hailey’s arms was unmistakable, the soft curl of his hair, the tiny birthmark on his cheek, a mark I knew because I had kissed it a thousand times. His smile, the one he used to give me, now aimed at her. At them. The baby I thought was kidnapped. My knees buckled.The pain wasn’t sharp. It was deep, an endless splitting inside my chest, like I was being hollowed out from the inside. Seven didn’t even look guilty. He looked proud. As if he belonged there, next to her, instead o
I awoke in my stall on the bed. Light was streaming through the small window high above me. The ferals outside were noisy and I could hear that they were tearing something apart. The sound was like squelching, like flesh tearing from bones or I don’t even want to know it. But because I was freaking curious, I stood up, despite the protest of my chest and looked at the small hole in my room. And there it was. A body was torn apart, the ferals were fighting, playing tag, trying to have a large portion.“So, who was it again?” I heard someone speak up. “The other man that the king found three weeks ago,” a man said. “Oh, the one who kept on resisting?”“Yes. Unfortunately, the king’s patience ran out and he fed him to his dog.”“Well, all of those who resist him always end up being fed to these beasts,” the other man replied, which scared me. Axel must have moved me from the floor to my bed and I was glad I was asleep for that. The pain of walking or being carried would have been uni
My mouth instantly began to water. He saw me staring at his hands and laughed aloud this time. "Oh, is my little mate? Hungry?" All I could do was nod intently. It had been days since I had anything to eat or drink, and the result of that was starting to weigh upon me."Well, why don't you come over to me and get it then?" Axel looked at me with danger in his eyes. He knew I refused, he’ll just going to do what he wanted and if I talk back, Fenrir will have mercy on me. Once I realized he was serious and the only way for me to get the piping hot bowl of newly cooked meat was to walk over to him, I almost screamed in frustration. He put me through it all, he tortured me and now I'm just supposed to walk it off?! Unbelievable. Despite what I thought though, he wasn't going to give me any food until I came over to him. I began to muster up all my strength and courage even if the thing on my chest hurts like hell. It didn’t dry up or at least close. In fact it went deeper in my flesh,
Jefferson led me back to my room. “I’m sorry,” I said, almost in a whisper.Jefferson halted and turned around to me. “Yeah, whatever. It’s too late,” he replied and assumed walking. “Just to let you know, Axel doesn't have plans on letting you live for too long. I shouldn’t tell you this but well, maybe I thought you deserve to know.”When we reached my room, he opened the door and I entered inside before.him slamming the door and locking it. Inside, I saw that the haystack was gone and replaced by a bed. I laid there for at least an hour. My eyes grew heavy and exhaustion threatened to overtake me, but I refused to fall asleep. I needed to get out of this torture house and back to my pack. How that would happen- I had no idea. I hoped beyond hope that Axel wouldn't be the one to come back and get me. If I saw him again I might pass out, just out of pure terror. He scared me beyond what I could handle right now, and I couldn't handle very much. With every second that went by I
Before I could process his change of mood, he had my wrists bound in silver handcuffs above my head. I hissed but I still tried to bring them down but a clink of metal and the sensation of being burned without fire prevented me from doing that. Axel had my arms chained above my head to where I was already tiptoeing. I could barely reach the floor. A smirk was now on his face as he stared at me, helpless. I let a whimper escape my lips as all courage drained from my body. Axel only smiled more at that, taking delight in my pain and fear. He now paraded around the room, making his way towards the hot coals in the fire pit. He then tossed more charcoal. “It seemed that you still didn’t know what you were here?” He looked at me expectedly to answer the question. Of course I knew. I knew because he already told me but I pretended I didn’t. “I didn’t.” I tried to lie and spit back at him, but my words only came out as a whimper. Axel laughed at that but didn’t reach his eyes. He step
“I heard him yesterday saying someone will arrive and that someone will occupy that space,” another voice spoke up. “I didn’t know it was also a pack wolf. You’re not a feral.”“Yes,” I replied. “I was trapped, sold and purchased by Axel,” I said and heard everyone gasping. “Don’t mention his name. He can hear it,” Anna said, I heard a hint of fear.I sighed. Just as I was about to ask another question, a sound came from outside. The ferals stop growling and whine instead. Everyone quickly hushed their voices as the cabin doors creaked open. Footsteps echoed along the pavement and down the way next to my room. There they stopped, and hands started fiddling with the lock to my door. After a faint click the heavy wooden door was pushed open to reveal Axel. He stared in the room, looking at me expectedly.What did he expect me to do? I’m not just going to willingly go to him…With an angry grunt he marched into my room and picked me up by the wrist. I was then dragged across the cabin
