I held my breath waiting for the hard hit of the ground to take my breath away but all I felt was a clutch of an arm when Jordan swung me around.
I crashed into him but he just held me to his bare chest.
Oh Lord, mercy…
I wasn't even done measuring the shrunk distance between us so my mind could process anything lewd when a ferocious Growl had me springing apart from him.
The ferocious Beast snarled with teeth bared. He threateningly stood crouched, ready to tear us to shreds. The glowing golden eyes were bouncing between me and Jordan.
"What is he…" I couldn't help the whimper that left me.
I didn't know if he was into playing with his food but it didn't sound anything pleasant right now.
Jordan pushed me away taking a step backward. Cold water washed over me.
What! Is he going to…
But before I could think further Jordan had turned to his own beast form. He fell on his knees. The Beast's eyes squinted as they fell on him.
I staggered several steps, in his human form it was easy to overlook the monster that lay under his skin.
The Beast was well past eight feet, a grown man like Jordan looked like a kid in front of him. I couldn't understand if he was trying to form a subservient relationship with that thing keeping me out of the loop.
Surrendering to a Beast with no sense of humanity was suicide but before I could point it out to him the Beast claw swiped me like a hovering bug. I landed on a bush away right beside the Beast. I tried to scurry away for naught.
All his attention was on Jordan who was on his knees with his head bowed. He growled at Jordan without taking another initiative to maul him.
And I thought the beast was all instincts and savagery but why did it feel like he was… angry?
I'm not delusional I had seen his cloudy eyes cleared up when he was crouching on the hood. What happened next just stamped on my theory.
"Padshah Lycan manzz... man pasar Alpha Sabastian Segal." He hissed, somehow he made more sense now.
(My Lycan Kingzz.... I'm the son of Alpha Sabestian Segal.)
The Beast looked even more ruffled like he wasn't pleased to hear what was said. But... he could understand?
I was paralyzed with fear but I saw the perfect window to get out of the scene. I kept my eyes on the Beast as I tried to crawl away.
I took a step away when the Beast's head snapped to me and he snarled as if in a warning. I shrieked back in fear. Even Jordan turned back to his human self.
"Padshah man! O rooh shamast! O shamar baydar karda ast!"
(My King! She's your soul! She has awoken you!)
I hardly understand what ridiculous ideas he was selling to the deranged Beast but it looked sold as the Beast turned to him, astonished.
He fluently spoke the foreign language but not without keeping a close eye on the Beast's sentiments.
"Man O ra bardam ta salam bamand! O ba shamar wafadar Ast, Bayad tawansh ra pas bhadeem!"
(I took her away so she stays unharmed! She's loyal to you, we have to pay her back!)
Whatever he said must have been flattery, the Beast's chest puffed up and he stood taller.
Jordan too peeked at him to see how proud he looked. The corner of his lips curled up but he pursed his lips like he was holding in a grin.
I looked suspiciously between them, but my fear held me from making a move. I was the weakest link here.
"O khudash ra bah aftakhar shama arza karda ast, O ba shamar waris khwahd dad!"
(She has offered herself in your honor, She will give you heirs!)
The Beast looked touched to the point his chest rumbled and he let out a loud howl to the moon. Now, even I'm curious of what Jordan has been spouting to lure even a Beast in.
Before I could contemplate what next to do, Jordan stood up and walked toward me, again in his birth suit. I held in the temptation to let my eyes roam, instead, I eyed him with apprehension.
I had a feeling he was up to no good.
He smirked and I felt my stomach flip for an entirely different reason. This didn't look good but what did feel good on this wretched day anyway.
"Just play along." He whispered before giving me a hand to take. I had only extended my hand when the Beast snarled baring his teeth.
I snatched my hand, giving a look to the open track behind me.
"Don't. You'll run, he'll chase but he won't be nice then." Jordan hissed.
I narrowed my eyes at him and spat, "I didn't realize he was being nice?"
He glared at me but I could see he wasn't as cool about it as he was letting on. His hands were shaking, "You'll be fine, just follow my lead."
I was about to retort when a growl got me on my foot. Cold sweat took hold of me but Jordan like the Beast was impatient with my antics.
The beast was pacing and almost looked lucid. I struggled to wrench my hand out Jordan's hold. "Let me go! Please, let me go! I'm no sacrifice!" I sobbed as fear took over my senses.
He dragged me to stand before the Beast. One look at his murderous eyes and blood-stained mouth had me wincing. I averted my eyes as tears streamed down my face.
"Ishq O bah to waqai ast, rahbar man!" (Her love for you is real, my Leader) The beast growled as if he was disturbed by whatever nonsensical flattery that scumbag Jordan was spouting now. He leaned down and I felt his breath just above my head. My heart felt like it would burst, clenching my fist I bit my lower lip to reign in the merciless sobs. I gasped as his soft fur brushed on my skin. I felt my breath hitch as he drew closer to my neck. Fear made my whole body lifeless. My legs would give out if my last bout of survival instinct hadn't frozen me. He sniffed me a time or two, he snorted as if he didn't like what he smelled. Go figure, Sherlock! I felt my cheek stain in embarrassment as humiliation accompanied my fear. As if to confirm what he had sniffed he sniffed me from the other side, he drew back immediately startling me. I dared to raise my head but the fierce beast had his head tilted and glowing eyes squinted like he was trying to piece together something incompr
A man got out of the car and rushed to our side all the while reporting, "Supreme Alpha had retreated to his den. The eclipse effect is fading and Alpha Segal is here with his- woah! What the fuck is that?" The man looked at me and stumbled back. I must look like Pervert Zombie out to hunt men with this bloody Gown, matching bloody makeover, and hair falling everywhere. Jordan didn't bother explaining, just snatched the keys and dumped me in the car. "Tell Galen I'll be back in 5!" The man nodded his head, his bulging eyes still trained on me. "Ye… No! Jordan, get back here! Your brother will…" the man's voice faded in the background as I slipped back into my misery. I was hardly reeling back from my Autopilot. The hair on my neck still stood alert against any threat. I had buried my face in my hands. I cried, my heart trembled as aftershocks racked my body. I tried to calm my nerves with deep breaths. Sometime later I felt something fall in my lap only to see wet wipes. I dare
Only when I was marching down with my bare feet blistered and bleeding in the cold of the night did I remember the SUV that I had taken with me on this remorseless night.I entered the Lobby and heard several gasps, stumbling, and things crashing down but I already looked like a wet skunk someone fit in a Wedding Dress so, No! I wasn't staying for chitchat.Now that I notice I was limping with wet tissues in one hand and the weight of this horrendous gown in another. I dragged the torn, bloody and murky gown to the lift. Suddenly, I feel so honored. First time in my life people made way for me, and even let me climb the lift alone.Someone had even shrieked and if I wasn't mistaken, it was cops they were dialing in hushed whispers?Morons.I would move more of my facial muscles but I'm pretty sure the nerves on my face had shrunk up. My eyes fell on my reflection, I hummed as I assessed myself. I just needed an axe. The hoodie Jordan had given as a last act of mercy did nothing to hi
Golden gleaming eyes held my being captive, they sucked me in like a vortex. My agony, my screams drowned in the magnetic force that restrained me. He drew closer patiently, and my heart drummed in my chest with fear and anticipation.But the toxicant trance broke with some ominous eruption when he was a breath away from me. Another bang shook my world off its axis, I stumbled back into an abyss only to open my eyes with a start, sweltering in my own sweat in the mid of November. The ragged breath had me shutting my eyes, hiding behind my hands.I flinched with another loud bang, I realized my door was the victim of these blows."...Reyna! Rey, please! Open the door, f*cking talk to me! …" like always the chaos in my head drowned him out.The excruciating torture of knowing he was a door away yet miles apart from where I was trapped went on for another minute before I heard the retreating steps. I let go of the breath, I didn't know I was holding.I hate what I have become of me.Swip
"And since when do you eat meat?"My eyes snapped back to the half-eaten steak in my bare hand. I wasn't only a vegan, I despised the umami sensation on my tongue. It always made me scrunch up. "Oh." I couldn't muster anything more than that.Then suddenly as if my taste buds discovered the flavor bouts that were dispersed in my mouth, I felt a tingling sensation. A vomit reflex made me gag. I ran up to the sink and rinsed my mouth furiously. The stench and overwhelming unsavory taste made me want to puke but all my attempts at it only left me heaving. When I came to my wet hair was dripping damp, while a group of people watched me in horror. The humiliation hit me like a canon ball, I recoiled trying to sway away their disgusting gazes. I felt like a freak.Though maybe that's what I'm reduced to.With my blind craving, I didn't even recognize what I was eating, much less how vulgarly I did it. My stomach just needed something to fill it. I closed my eyes wiping a hand on my face
"...Don't mind me if I point out that men who don't care about how his women dress don't give a fuck about her at all! Aren't I right, Reyna?" Suha spat with indignation. I took a sip of my drink and tilted my head. Juliana scoffed, "Oh, please! Why would a man even have a right to comment on how his women dress? It's such controlling behavior. Reyna herself is all about competing in the male-dominated corporate world." Suha narrowed her eyes at her with a scowl and slowly turned her head to me as if to say 'look how her brain works'. "Listen to this Dumb-struck, Reyna! If you wear, like a very revealing sexy outfit that is outright vulgar and if your man is waving you around he's just saying 'I'm fucking this hot chick and she's freaky as f*ck!' basically he's boosting his sex life!" I roll my eyes and fish out my phone. This is going to take a while. Juliana looked irritated at having less to refute, but shrugged anyway, "You're a pig, don't drag Reyna in it! Isn't that supposed
"Wh-what is the meaning of this?" I spat with indignation. I took a cautious step back as my heart burst from the alarm bells that rang around me. He just raised a brow as if he was ridiculing my outburst. The cold wind of the night assaulted my sweaty skin once his warmth was gone. I was left immobile. I somehow wanted to dive back into his arms, he was ominously beautiful. But I couldn't take how trivial he made me seem, but all I could do was grit my teeth in retaliation, "…After how you people ruined my life, now you want to stalk me. What is next? You will chase me to be slaughtered once again?" I huffed after straining all my energy just to curse him out. He stood up leisurely, his jolly smile stripped off and in an instant, his stare turned callously stern. "With your level of intelligence, I can only guess what you have dragged yourself into." the corner of his mouth lifted up, "Oh, our little peeping friend has just left our side." My eyes widened and my mouth dropped open
He left as he came, with the whoosh of wind. I could do nothing but stand there flabbergasted. I scoffed clutching my head to rid of the hairs falling on my face. "What the hell?" I could hardly believe my ears with the shit I have to face, from every freak that comes my way."No, Lord, no!" I run my hand on my face. No way was I going to marry that eccentric man. He looked like a scheming gigolo at first sight."Reyna! We saw your boyfriend…" I see Juliana and Suha running at me like they were getting any browny points with after all the shit they pulled on me. But their face distorted fast as they fell down focusing on my left thigh, stopping them in their tracks.My eyes followed to see a patch of blood straining my bright-colored dress. Sarkhan's blood. Fuck! These ladies had peas for brains but even they weren't past accusing me of homicide. But before I could open my mouth to blurt a poor excuse I heard Juliana exclaim,"Eww… Rey! Did you just have your period?" I froze as he
