Unhinged:Taming Dante

The Melancholic and suffocating air that fanned against my pale face draining whatever energy i had on me was all it took to fuel the fear and trepidation that boiled and bubbled internally, threatening to burst out of my chest. Today was the day of my doom; the day that gathered everyone in the kingdom of Arazona. The soothing and overly calm voice of my imperial mother still rang in my ears like the music that the royal musicians where playing and it was stamped in my brain like how the dancers tapped and twirled their legs and danced to entertain us.Everything about the ceremony made me sick, the way Father smiled generously while watching the performance from his high throne or the way Mother smiled so animatedly in her finest jewelries and royal apparels, sitting so poised on her throne a little shorter than Father's. The way everyone pretended that this was a very joyous event and not my beloved parents practically leading me to the slaughter house by making a marriage allianc

"Dante" His voice glided through the air and to my ears, startling me. We had sat in silence, half through the ride which made me extra anxious yet I knew that deep down, I was glad the scarily beautiful man hadn't spoken to me."My name, Dante" He added as if to reassure my thumping and trembling heart from thrashing around in my chest, if that was the aim, then it did the exact opposite; His voice had a compelling and autocratic feeling carried in his velvety baritone which only made my heart thrash harder and harder that I feared he would see it throbbing back and forth from across the fabric of the godforsaken wedding gown because of how he looked at me. His Presence scared me! I was married to a Monster— it was hard to live with that, no matter how resigned to fate I was I shaped my lips to produce a reply hoping it didn't go numb from fear like the rest of my body"O—" I cleared my voice as it came out shaky and cracking.I reenacted "Oh" But on a second thought it seemed too bl

"Luna, you seemed to be curious about the carvings, weren't you?" That cool and may I say sexy feminine baritone swept across my ears, making my eyes widen like saucers. That taunting and playful tone was not to be mistaken even though it has only been a while since I met that person or thing?"White wolf?" My jaws dropped."Quite the description, don't you think?" She flashed a taunting smile."Blake" I corrected myself in embarrassment. Question marks ran amok in my head. Blake right? In Arazona , Blake is definitely a man's name."My name? It's a Unisex name" Blake rose her hand in mock surrender.If anything, I hated how she looked and spoke in an effortlessly taunting manner. "I didn't say anything" I almost rolled my eyes. Did the werewolves have a power of reading minds too?"You had it written in your eyes, Luna" She shrugged."Ohhh" That was a big hit to my ego. I mean, I always prided myself in being hard to read, even in Arazona, I was being said to be one of the hardest p

He didn’t come.Two days and night crept away and he hadn’t appeared before my eyes, not that I complained at all, I had mixed feelings. As much as I wanted the handsome beast to stay away, a tiny winy part of me felt undesirable. I had gone through the vicious cycle of waking up, being dressed up by my handmaids like a doll and being locked up in a room; our matrimonial room, I’ve heard. I could only see the overview of the pack from the windows of the room, luckily the windows all had good sights of the pack and even beyond the pack gates and I dilly-dallied watching the animal-people go on with their daily activities. If only I had a sethescope, I could get a better view of the city.Usually, I tried to pry the girls for as little information as I could get but they were rather very tight lipped. They hadn’t warmed up to me one bit and they were almost afraid of me, or rather, what I was capable of doing. Day three and I sat at the dressing table, I had gotten used to some of the

As I watched her sleeping peacefully, my heart wavered between uncertainty and desire. I knew that trusting a human was risky, especially when my wolf threatened to break free from its chains. But there was something about her, something that called to me, something that made me want to protect her.Reluctantly, I tore my gaze away and moved towards the window, my senses attuned to any sudden movements or disturbances. As I peered out into the darkness, I caught a glimpse of a figure disappearing from view. It was him - the mysterious person I had spoken to earlier. I wondered what his intentions were and if he had any connection to the Vamps.Though my instincts warned me to stay vigilant, my thoughts drifted back to the girl lying motionless behind me. I couldn't afford to let my guard down, not even for a moment. With a heavy heart, I returned to her side and gently reached out to brush a strand of hair away from her face."You're safe with me," I whispered softly, partly to reassu
