CHAPTER THREE
Octavia POV
Ever since mother Lia suggested that I go out at night and have fun, my life has changed from worst to a more comfortable one. I always go out every night for fresh air, and at times, I use the opportunity to free my wolf, and let it take over me. Going out of the house is very fun, even if it's not in the daylight. At least, I know what the pack look like. Too bad I can't see the beauty of it. "You have to please be careful my child, don't put yourself in trouble, and make sure you come home early enough, don't go too far in the woods, we have enemies alot, and I wouldn't want one of them, hurting you. Please be safe for me, ok?" Mother said worriedly. "You've said that like a million times now mother, and I always told you that I'll do just that, can you please stop getting worried over nothing?" I sighed frustratingly, crossing my arms on my chest. "I know I've said that alot, but I still have to tell you, so you won't forget...""Ok mom, I've heard you now, so can I go now?" I rolled my eyes at her. "Yes, but remember...""Not to go close to the palace to avoid getting myself into a big mess." I helped her complete her statement. "Good girl. Now take care, ok?" She cupped my cheeks and kissed my forehead, before pulling me into her warm arms. "I'll he fine mom." I said after pulling away from the hug, and with that, I left the house and sped into the thick forest, not after looking around carefully, to avoid anyone getting a glimpse of me.A smile crept on my face, as I inhaled the fresh air, which I always longed to have every minute. It feels so good, being out here. if wishes were horses, then I would've loved to know how this will feel in the daylight, but I'm just a girl, living under her parent's shadows, no one knows of my existence. I so much want to tell the whole world about myself, I want to make friends like every other persons, I so much want to know how it'll feel, being around people that are not my family, but it seems to be the dreams that'll never come through for me, my life has already been designed, even before my birth, my fate has already been written, even before I came to this world, but too bad that it's all in misery, too bad that I'll have to live the rest of my life as nothing, but a shadow. I wish I can do something about this, but there's nothing that can be done, not even my parents, or mother Lia, can help change my destiny. At times I wonder if there's any other person, suffering same fate as me, sometimes I wonder, if I'm a curse, but then, I know that no matter what, I still have to accept my fate, and live with it, as that's the only way, I'll have peace, and give my poor parents peace. I stroll down to the mountain, where I usually have some rest, and get a better view of the forest. I sat on my usual spot, staring at the waterfall, as a smile crept on my face. The only thing I find fun, is using my power, it's so fun, seeing my power work on water. My eyes changed to deep blue, as I gaze at the waterfall, making some chants in my mind, and in the next seconds, the water started bubbling really hard, and I just couldn't help, but chuckled lightly. I guess my power is the only friend I have, it is the only thing that keeps me company, whenever I'm bored. "That's really a beautiful sight to behold." A masculine voice said behind me. Snapping my head at the direction, I was welcomed with a pair of green eyes, smiling at me. "Who...who are you?" I stuttered in fear, as I quickly stood up, and took a step back in fear, my heart thumping heavily against my ribcage, like it'll pop out of my chest anytime soon. He chuckled softly, showing his one side dimple. I got lost, staring at the handsome creature, standing before me. Mother had told me about werewolves, being the most beautiful creatures of all magic creatures, even the men are breathtaking, but all these while, I never got to meet or see any, as I've always been locked inside, and now that I see one, my doubt has been cleared, werewolves are indeed beautiful creatures. "You're such a scared cat." His sweetest voice, jolted me back to reality. Snapping out of my world of fantasy, I picked to my heels, and started running as fast as my legs could carry me. Mother warned me not to talk to any stranger, they might be one of the pack's enemies. I felt like my legs were slacking, so I shifted into my wolf form, as I galloped farther into the woods, and soon, my wolf was exhausted, as I've shifted for three times in just two days. I slowed down my pace, as I started walking down the woods, making my way home. I stride down the woods, my exhausted wolf, breathing heavily. I was almost home, when my wolf smelt a strong scent, coming from nowhere. Even if the scent was far, I could feel that it was coming from a very strong creature, and the aura seem to be dark and intimidating. Mother had told me about how strong the Alpha's aura can be, and the one I'm feeling right now, seem not to be different from the one she told me about. But what could an Alpha be doing in the woods by this time of the night? A strong wave of curiosity flashed through me, and giving in to it, I found myself, tracing the scent, trying to at least get a glimpse of where it was coming from. My wolf kept sniffing and tracing the strong scent, till I found myself in a beautiful garden. Changing to my human form, I looked around the beautiful garden, filled with beautiful flowers, and trust me, it's really a beautiful sight to behold. I walked comfortably around the garden, like it belongs to my farher, sniffing and feeling every flower I could lay my hands on. You wouldn't blame me, right? I haven't seen a garden this beautiful in my entire life, and now that I've seen one, you wouldn't tell me not to savor the moment, yeah? My eyes fell on a very beautiful flower, and the urge to pluck from it rushed through me. Not restraining myself, I reached out my hand to get a bunch of it, when a strong wave of violent wind, filled the entire place, sending me roughly to the ground, as I hurt my knees in the process. Raising my gaze, I was met with the back view of a man, standing elegantly, just a few paces away from me... I'm doomed...CHAPTER FOUR Octavia POVRaising my gaze, I was met with the back view of a man, standing elegantly, just a few paces away from me.I stared at the man, standing with his back, facing me. He was dressed in all black, his thick black shiny hair, clinging to his head, his strong and intimidating aura, was one of a hell. Even if he wasn't looking at me, I know his face must be one of those scary faces the characters do take in wolf series. I've read so many books, that's what keeps me company back at home, I read mostly about werewolves. If you're wondering who taught me how to read, then mother Lia comes in. She's my tutor, she taught me almost everything I need to know, she taught me how to read, how to control my powers, and every other things, which I need to know as a werewolf.My heart came thumping heavily against my chest, like it'll pop out anytime soon, as I couldn't help, but drool over the dem
CHAPTER FIVE Alpha Khalid POVAnger surged through me, as I stared down at my clothes, which were now messed up with the stains of the wine. Even if the clothes were all black, and the stains from the wine didn't seem to do any harm to it, I still felt disgusted.The atmosphere became tensed, as everyone stared at me in terror, waiting for the worst to happen, because they all know what I'm capable of doing, there's no way in hell, I'm ever going to let this bastard go unpunished, how dare she spill drink on my beautiful clothes? She's so gonna pay for this."Forgive me your highness." Her voice quivered, as she fell on her knees, with her face down, as her whole body trembled in fear. I don't blame her, she knows what fate has in store for her at the moment, so she could only shiver, but too bad, I'm not moved.Glaring down at her, I felt my blood boiling in fury, my demon was threa
CHAPTER SIX Alpha Khalid POV"Strip!" My demon ordered in his usual commanding and intimidating tone, which always rid people off their guard, as my eyes devoured her.A smile crept on her face, as she took her hands to her shoulders, letting off the hands of her loose gown, and in the next minutes, she was standing stack naked in front of me, and I felt my demon quivered in excitement. He calmed down a bit, just by the sight of the tempting body before him, and he just couldn't wait, to devour her.Taking slow and steady steps to her, I finally stopped in front of her, and pulled her close to myself, as I nuzzled my face in her neck, feeling the beautiful scent of her, aside her wolf scent, she smelt so good, that's one of the reasons why she's my favorite. Astrid have been my sex partner for years, and she's happy being that. I know she loves me, but fuck! I don't do love, and all these mating shits, they sucks me. Like, how the
CHAPTER SEVEN Octavia POVI kept smiling foolishly, as the image of the weird guy back in the woods, kept replaying in my head. I just wished to see him again. His smiles, his grey eyes, his dimples, his perfect lips, just the image of it, makes me giggle foolishly.Sitting up on my mat, I stretched my hands above my head, as I yawned tiredly, before standing on my feet. Dragging my feet out of my room, I went to knock on my parent's door, but got no response. I didn't need anyone to tell me they must've gone out to do their hard labor as usual.This is how they've always lived, they are always made to go through hard labors out there, for no reason, they're always punished by the said superiors, they always go out and come back home, all tired, with bruises all over their bodies. Too bad, I can't even go out there to see what is always happening to them.Turning around, I walked back to my room, and stripped out of my clot
CHAPTER EIGHTOctavia POV It was already getting late, and mom and dad are yet to come back from labor. I would've gone out to search for them, but they already pleaded to never step out of the house, no matter what happens, the reason behind that, is still a mystery, which I'm yet to understand, and I'm already dying of curiosity.Letting out a sigh, I yawned hungrily, before continuing with reading my book, but my mind kept wandering away from it. My stomach wouldn't stop grumbling violently, I haven't eaten anything since morning, so I don't blame my tiny bowel to be making noise. Even my wolf was hungry too, but we just gat to endure it, until mom and dad gets back, I'm sure they'll bring something home for me.I fixated my gaze on the book, giving it all my attention, trying to get distracted from the hunger, that kept trying to take over me.After reading with an empty stomach for what seemed like forever, I started feeling w
CHAPTER NINEOctavia POV"Octavia...Octavia." The sound of my name became clearer, and the voice sounded really familiar, it belongs to mother. But, where I she?I felt a tap on my body, and I jerked, as my eyes flew open, that was when it dawned on me, that it was all a dream. It wasn't reality, I can't believe I got so scared in the dream. Letting out a sigh, I yawned tiredly, and sat up on the mat, before raising my gaze to see mom, still standing, but not as happy as usual. She always try to put on a smile for my sake, even when she's tired, and the woman standing before me now, is not like my cheerful mother."Mother?" I called, and rubbed my eyes to see her clearly.A drop of tears slid down her cheeks, and I just couldn't help, but got worried. What could be wrong with her? Did she got hurt?"What happened mother?" I asked worriedly, as I finally got on my feet, and held her hands, as I looked at he
Chapter Ten Author POV She stood up and her feet, and snapped her head to where the voice came from, but was shocked at who she was welcomed with, those grey eyes, she could never forget, that pointed nose, that her hand itched to poke, those sensual lips, which is alluring. It was her Mr handsome, the weird guy. Slowly, she found her anger, dissipating slowly, the blaze on her body slowly faded away, as her eyes became normal pale blue again. In as much as she wanted to run, she just couldn't bring herself to doing it, as she found her curiosity to know who he was, kept getting the best of him. She turned to face her fully, maintaining her distance, so she could run for her dear life, if anything goes wrong. "We met again." He smiled at her, as he batted his long lashes, a sweet and most beautiful smile, settling on his face, and as his dimples formed on his both cheeks, she just couldn't help, but drool at the dem
Chapter ElevenShe gulped down like a million times, as she stared deep into his blank face, trying to read his expression, but luck didn't seem to be on her side.He suddenly chuckled softly, and stepped away from her. He looked so perfect, when he laughs, the world stops to listen to his sweet voice, how could a man be this handsome. Octavia stared at her prince charming in confusion, wondering what was happening, she just couldn't bring herself to understanding the situation on ground, so she just gave him a blank face. Even if she was scared inside, she tried to look brave, she didn't wanna give in so easily."You are really a scared cat. You needed to see your face just now. Wait! Were you thinking that I was going to hurt you?" He asked her, as he chuckled, which only lasted for a few seconds, before it slowly dissipated into a huge frown.Octavia stared blankly at him blankly, as the thoughts of the young man, playing pranks on he
