21st Century Poetry

My entire existence has led to this moment, the day I finally put an end to this misery, the day I pay tribute to the sacrifices of my loved ones, the day I grant freedom to the human race. All it requires is a simple pull of the trigger. I desired this, worked tirelessly for it, but inexplicably, I find myself unable to complete the task. "Do it," Bas urged in a soft whisper, a gentle smile playing on his lips. How could he find solace in a moment fraught with tension? His eyes locked onto mine, a silent challenge. Unable to contain the tears streaming down my face, I felt a flood of emotions. Sensing my hesitation, Bas delicately laid his hand on mine, guiding the gun closer to his chest. "I love you," he uttered to me. No, I couldn't endure this any longer. I shook my head, the pain becoming unbearable.

VANESSA: ~"You will marry him!" Dad thundered, his veins bulging and his sickly pallor only enhancing how close to death's door he was.

Mum and I were pushed out gently but firmly.~ Vanessa Anders might not have a lot of love for her father, but she couldn't stand by and let his empire crumble, not when it will lead to his death. Besides, the man she was more or less being sold off to was easy on the eyes, rich and very nice! Okay, she might have a crush on the billionaire, but isn't that a good thing? Except, after marriage, the nice charming man disappears and a beast takes his place. A beast that loves to make Vanessa hurt. CALLUM: Callum Gray hates two things in life; being lied to and people who try to manipulate him. The exact two things Shawn Anders and his daughter were.

A marriage, not of convenience, but of hell. Callum was going to make her suffer for every single bit of her manipulation and then some.

There were werewolves, then alphas, then there’s Dario an apex alpha, and Lycan of over 120 years with no mate.

One fateful day, he finds out that the neighboring alphas were auctioning their kind (an act that had been abolished a century ago), and went feral. What happens when he gets there and his wolf starts acting out of character? What happens when he sees what he has wished for his whole life? What happens when he sees that she’s human? What happens when he finds out that she may be ‘not so human’ and part of the clan he despised the most? Would he go against every rule in the book to make her his?
