I was walking down the street as my college was just walking distance. I plugged in my earpiece and started listening to a heart attack by Enrique Iglesias. I still had time so I did not rush to get to school. I always admired silence yet I hated it sometimes. Silence gives me time to think. Yet it reminds me of the lonely life I live without my parents. The thought of that awful memory never fails to bring tears. I tried to push those memories back. 'thousand years' by Christina Perri came. a smile came up to my lips soon. I always imagined dancing to this song with the person I love.
Soon I reached my college. Once I was there, I went straight to my locker to grab some books and put the books away I would not be needing. "Boo" a voice was suddenly heard out of nowhere. I yelped as I turned around to see the reason behind the sound only to come face to face with my two best friends, Alec and Avery. They were trying their best not to laugh out at me but completely failing as they burst out loud. "your face tho. It was priceless. ha ha ha." Alec said out loud. "Ya. you should have seen your face." Avery said as she continued laughing. I start to pout when Alec and Avery start to pinch my cheeks stating how cute I was as I swat their hands away, soon the bell rang for us to get to our classes. I was majoring in computer science while Avery was majoring in fashion and Alec was majoring in Business. As I entered the class, the few people that were sitting around turned to me. I turned crimson red due the attention I had gathered. People just smiled at me and returned to whatever they were doing. I never like being the centre of attention. There was not really a person who dislikes me or hate me. Yet I was always shy and insecure. I quickly went to sit at the back left-hand side of the class. The teacher had yet to come hence I start staring at the forest that was a few metres away from the school I always liked the forests. It was like alluring me. I just stared at the trees and leaves as the morning mist dropped. Soon the teacher came and started the class. I was carefully listening as I really wanted to do well and graduate. Sooner or later the bell rang for lunch. I gathered my things and headed to the cafeteria. It was loud and crowded. I spotted my friends and rushed to them. After waving them a Hi we went to buy our food. I paid for my bacon and ham with cheese sandwich and after all of us buying, we grabbed a table and sat to eat. After a few minutes Alec's mum called stating they had a family gathering to attend. Although I was happy for him, I was jealous. I hid that and smiled at them. Soon the lunch was over and we went for our classesAfter few more hours----- Classes were over and I had the idea of going to the library. As I entered the library, I went to grab some material for the upcoming assignment. Later on I decided that I would like to read a book and had the right book in my mind. I went to one of the shelves and reached for 'love story' by Erich Segal. It was my favourite. I borrowed the book, and went to one corner and sat down to read. Soon I was engulfed by the book. Without realising I drifted off to sleep. I was awoken by the droplet sound that was hitting the window. When I peeked outside, I was shocked. It was night already. I quickly grabbed the book and my backpack and headed out. I had no other choice but to get wet. I decided to go pass the forest which was shorter than the normal route I would take. I started to slow jog as I did not want to fall. I entered the forest but felt something different. I ignored it and started to jog slowly.What I heard a few minutes later made me regret coming this way.I heard a loud HOWL coming from the forest.Xavier's POVI circled the chair that the rogue was tied up in. He was all bloodied. For a normal person, it would be a horrifying sight to look at. But I was used to this by now. "tell me why were you at my territory" I all but yell at him. He still did not say anything. He kept that smirk on his face. I realised I would not be getting anything out of him. Hence I came to a decision. I pulled my claws out and ripped him into shreds. " Taylor come in here" I ordered one of my warriors. He rushed in and I pointed down. He quickly bowed at me, acknowledging. I made my way up to my room.I quickly went to take a shower to clean myself off the blood. You might be wondering about me. Yes I am a very ruthless person. I show no mercy. I have been like this for many years. When I was younger I always had anger management problems. what always calmed was one day finding my mate. But I was disappointed during my 18th birthday. I tried to search for her everywhere but I was disap
Bella's POVI started to panic once I heard the howl. I felt as if I was stuck to the ground. Soon my senses came back to me. I took off running ignoring how slippery the ground was. That was when I realised I was running deeper into the woods. not knowing what to do I start to panic as tears start to spill. I did not know which way I should go. Everything seemed the same. I didn't know which way I came even.All of a sudden I felt a presence behind me. I did not dare to turn around and see. I heard a deep yet low growl. It was as if it was asking me to turn. Still I could not gather the courage to turn around. The growl was heard again. I found my feet moving on its own as I turned around. my eyes bulged out at what I saw. I am dreaming. It was a huge{bigger than a normal} wolf in front of me. It was pitch black and had blue eyes. I started to sob as tears began to drop. I was stuck to the ground as I did not know what to do. The wolf started to take slow steps as I s
Xavier's POVAs I smelled my mate, I got confused as to why she did not smell like a wolf. That is when it hit me that my mate was not a wolf. My wolf and I did not care as long as she was in our arms. I quickly started sprinting towards where the smell was coming from. I can sense that the smell was starting to get distanced as if she was running away from me. It made a growl erupt from my chest. The smell was getting deeper into the forest hence I started to sprint faster. The smell was near and I came to realise she had stopped. As the smell hit hard and realised she was very near. Soon my paws stopped. In front of me was a strawberry blonde girl who was about 5.2 feet. Her wavy hair came down to below her waist. I can see that she felt my presence yet stayed rooted to the ground. Mine. I thought to myself.In order to make her face me low growl. She tensed yet did not turn around. I really wanted to see my mate's face hence I let another low growl. I saw her legs m
Bella's POVI stirred trying to wake up. I felt really warm. I felt as if I was being held against a wall. As I tried to wake up, the memories of what happened before came flooding into my head. I pried open my eyes. "Ahhhhh." I let out a scream. Soon there was the man from yesterday who pulled me tight to his chest as he started to inspect around. I continue to try and get off from his iron grip. "Ahhhhh" I screamed as loud as possible. He realised he was the reason while I was screaming and hesitantly let go of me as I scrambled as far as possible from me which made me hit the headboard. Tears start to stream from my eyes as I looked at the man in front of me, who only had his sweatpants. I wondered if he was even human as I saw him changing from a wolf to a human in seconds. The thought made cry even harder. I continued to cry. " Hey, it's ok. You don't have to be afraid of me. please don't cry" he pleaded. Even though it was confusing as to
Bella's POVAs I watched outside, I realised that it was surrounded by trees and I hardly was able to see anything, not even a road. "why did I go to the library?" I questioned myself. New tears started to form as I thought about everything. I had a life, friends, not family tho, freedom, a future. And now I am unable to see anything as I thought what if I was never able to go back. and came the new tears running down my cheeks. I prayed really hard for a miracle to happen. I continue to cry that I did not realise someone has opened the door. It was until footsteps were heard did I notice the man from just now. He had a platter in his hands. I start to back away into the window. "Hey, it's ok. I just came to give some food. You have not eaten anything since yesterday evening and it's after lunch. I am not gonna hurt you." he said gently. I shook my head at him stating I did not want the food. He sighed," please eat something. I I don't want you to starve. At least sma
Bella's POVHe took a deep breath while closing his eyes for a few seconds. "Here goes nothing. Please let me explain before you come to any conclusion." he asked. I nodded my head in response. "My name is Xavier." he said as he waited for any response from me. I just nodded for him to continue. "This is where I was born and raised." I scrunch my eyebrows at him and tilt my head in confusion. How can a person be born and raised in a forest yet wear t-shirts and sweats? He understands my confusion. He let out a small chuckle. "You might be wondering how a person can be born and raised in a forest yet wear fancy clothes. Am I right?" he asked as I slowly nodded my head. "Well that's the answer to almost all your questions. I am a..." he trailed off. I needed him to tell as what he says is the answer to almost all my questions. I tilt my head for him to continue. "Erm well I am a... wer-werewolf." he whispered lastly and almost did not cat
Bella's POV I stirred awake. I swear I keep fainting a lot these days. As I realised why I fainted, I jolted awake. My eyes scanned the right side of the room, and as I turned my head to the left, I saw two blue eyes that was filled with concern and worry which was directed at me. I quickly scrambled away from him. Hurt was evident in his eyes. But the only thought I had was the fact how he simply killed the wolf. Goosebumps run down as I think about it. Seeing my discomfort, he tried to reach for me. I just scooted away."I know it is hard to take everything in. But it is the truth. Please trust me." he said as he stared at my eyes. "Y-You ki-killed that wo-wolf." I said as I stuttered. As I said this, his features went rigid. His muscles visibly became tensed. My eyes still were wide. "I had to. If I didn't he would have hurt you. I could not let him hurt you. You were the only person that was in my mind at that time."I could not accept his re
Bella's POVIt has been 5 days since Xavier walked out of that door. 5 days since I have been stuck in this room. Everyday it is the same routine. I woke up at the bay window as I did not want to sleep in that bed. I take a shower with the spare clothes that were placed in the closets. I spend my day at the bay window, just staring out at the forest. In the morning, afternoon and evening, there would be a guy coming in to give me food and refill the water. And at night I will end up falling asleep with tears flowing freely.I had not touched the food that was brought to me, hence I could physically feel myself becoming weak. I have tried to escape. But it was up to no gain. I tried to break the window. But it was a bullet proof window. I tried banging the door but no one could hear and even if they did they did not care. I even tried asking for help from the person who brings my food. But all he does is give me a long sigh.After some time, I gave up
