To Annabelle’s surprise, the four strangers paused directly in front her. Her pulse jumped, not in fear, rather in nervous anticipation. Instead of intimidating her, their athletic figure and rugged looks made her heart flutter. At five feet six inches, Annabelle did not consider herself tiny but the guys were almost a foot taller, causing her to crane her neck to meet their gazes. One of them took a step forward and she drooled internally. He is possibly the most gorgeous man that she has ever met.  “Hello. I don’t know your name but I am sure it’s as beautiful as you are.” The stranger gave her a dazzling smile and she couldn’t help but return with one of her own. “I'm Archimedes and you can call me Arch.” Arch had smooth expresso skin, almond shaped brown eyes, full lips and a wide, engaging smile. He had a deep baritone voice, two dimples peeking at her as he smiled and boyish good looks.  His eyes flickered with int

Bayswater Beach Annabelle Aoki   I had arrived home a couple of hours ago, fuming at Chucky's sudden violent outburst and I decided to give him a piece of my mind. He may be a wolf but if he wants to stay with me, he should not be randomly attacking people, at least not under my watch. So before I went off to sleep, I gave him an ultimatum, behave or be homeless. And now when I opened my eyes, I discover that I am dreaming. I don’t know whether it was the fact that my feet are translucent or that I am standing on the beach in my sleepwear, not feeling cold despite the wind furiously lapping on my skin. Besides, no one in their right mind wears a red negligee in the middle of the night, duri

I stilled, incredulity streaming on my face at her brazen proposal. "You dare to threaten me?" I derided, my eyes narrowing in disdain. Did she honestly think that she could intimidate me into accepting her pathetic deal?  My own stone pulsated on my neck, reacting to the anger coursing through my veins. Just like Romeo's black onyx stone, my stone is an extension of me. It serves to protect and amplify my powers and right now, it is channelling and amplifying my wrath. My skin tingled as my magic pooled, forming into a red halo behind me. The Alpha's bedroom was bathed in crimson light as my powers grew. I smirked when I saw Lucy's face morphing in terror, her body cowering in fear. "Be mindful who you make deals with

Moonstone Pack Lands   The Alpha’s bedroom was dark, save for one single light shining from a table lamp near the bed. Pillows were strewn haphazardly by the foot of the bed, long forgotten. Two naked bodies were moving in sync, one had her legs up in the air as the other increased his speed, pumping furiously. Sweat coated their bodies, their expressions ruptured with wanton. Moans reverberated in the bedroom, both grunting in pleasure as they neared their climax.  “Sebastian, please..." The woman pleaded desperately, her nails making half-moon indentations as she dug into his back. Her body trembled with desire, writhing, the pressure building to a point that she's almost bursting with pleasure. "Oh Sebastian, yes!" She screamed as her back arched, toes curling, seeing stars as her bo

Annabelle stood up and stared at the now gaping wall in astonishment. Her eyes traversed over the surface, where a one meter gap now exists. The wooden panel that mounted the television along with the wall behind it had slanted to the side, revealing a darkened and mysterious staircase. A hidden doorway is camouflaged behind the wooden panel, making it appear to be part of the wall. She couldn't discern a knob near the opening so she presumed there must be a concealed mechanism that opens and closes the secret entryway. "How on earth did you do that, Jughead?" She inquired, her feet moving soundlessly towards the aperture that had suddenly appeared. The book that she was reading lay on the sofa, completely forgotten. Jughead scratched his head in embarrassment, looking perplexed. "I slipped and almost fell. When
