I woke up on a very comfortable thingy that felt like it was moving. My eyes hurt as I tried opening them and when I finally did, my vision were a little blurry but I knew it was from staying under the cold water for that long.
I looked around and saw that I was in a car, a moving car and I gasp in amazement. This was the first time I have ever seen and been such a beautiful and clean car. The ones in the ruins were old, Rusty and not working. I used to play in them when I was a kid, playing hide and seek with my other friends and that was the perfect spot to hide but now, I'm actually sitting in one that actually works.
"You're awake," The King's voice sounded from behind me and I turned to him looking at me.
He gazed at me with love and adoration and I knew why. Of course I heard stories of the Mighty King Micah, the only man to have ever lived for such a long time, for more than 700 years.
It is known that every wolf was blessed with a soul-mate, their other half except the King and that was why he became brutal, blaming their god the moon goddess for creating him without one.
"Lovette" He called again but I only spare him a glance before staring out the car window.
After being in the car for up to three hours with both I and King Micah being silent — sometimes just staring at each other, I noticed how the trees became greener and the grass had more life to them. It has been long I last saw such beautiful greens because in the ruins, everything was cold-dead. After a few minutes of staring at the green natures, I looked ahead through the drivers seat and a beautiful castle came in view.
"Wow" I gawked placing my hands on the car window to get a better view. I parted my lips softly as we approached the rusting gates of the caged royal walls made of pure concrete and bricks.
I probably look like a child who was just given their first Christmas gift, excited to see what's in it and play with it, but this scene — this scene was nothing I've ever imagined to witness ever in my life.
The King chuckled at the other side, coming to sit next to me and place his hand on my shoulder but I was to mesmerized by the scene before me to care but still, I tensed up a little.
"Do you like it?" He asked in a whisper, his hot breath fanning my neck and making goosebumps appear on my skin. I take in a breath and nodded shaking, "Yes... It's quite beautiful" I mumbled and the king hummed before giving me a little space and I released a breath.
The gates were opened and I finally got to see how the castle was like on the inside. The castle was incredible, breathtaking. Everything about the castle grounds screamed fantasy and royalty and suddenly, I felt out of place.
Everyone looked chic and rich, well-feed and in beautiful clothing ms save for some who were working and I could tell that they were humans.
The car finally stopped and the door was pushed open. I got out and turned around, looking at the castle one more time before my eyes landed on the man who wouldn't stop looking at me.
He sauntered towards me with his hands in his black pants. I stood there, rocking on the ball of my feet and awkwardly placing my hands at my side.
"Come" he said, removing his right hand from his pants and putting it infront of me, waiting for me to accept it but all I did was look at the hand, then at his face before walking up the stairs that leads to the inside of the castle.
"What did I do to make you hate me so much?" He asked jogging to me at the stairs and I stopped, my eyes twitching.
"What did you do?" I asked and scoffed, taking a step close to him. "My family and friends are laying on the cold ground in pieces" I rasped poking his chest with my index finger.
"My mother is there on the floor laying in her own blood all alone and I never got to even give her a proper burial!!" I yelled at his face and a few heads turned out way and when they saw that the King was whom I was speaking to, they lowered their heads to the ground and mind their business.
Tears had now gathered in my eyes, threatening to spill but I kept them in. The scene of how mom died kept playing in my head like a broken record, repeating itself, taunting and telling me of how I could have saved her life if only I was faster, not just standing there like a log.
"I'm sorry, Lovette, I really am but I am a king, I had to do what had to be done. They broke a rule and that was the consequences of their actions." He muttered running his hand over his face and released a sigh.
I gave him a nod and a tear fell from the action. I quickly wiped it away and continued my journey up the stairs even if I do not know where I'm going.
I could hear the king call someone from below me and a lady joins me at my side and I stopped again, also using the opportunity to rest because God, this damn stairs seems to go on forever.
"The King has ordered me to show you to your sleeping chamber" She said emotionlessly and bowed. I could tell she was human for she looked fragile unlike how the other beasts looked, Healthy.
"You no not need to bow" I told her when she raised her head a bit but her eyes were still staring at her shoes.
"His majesty would be angry" she murmured and I sighed nodded my head for I knew nothing would change her mind. It was already something that was drillee to their head.
We walk down the halls and soon we got to our destination. The door was pushed open by the maid and I gasped at the size and beauty of the room.
The room was covered in gray silk and black woody furnitures, our footsteps thundered against the wooden floor as we walked deeper into the room.
"The curtains are laced with magic, keeping the cold out and the room a designed temperature" she said motioning to the gray curtains that covered the ceiling high windows.
"Here is the bathroom" she mumbled pushing the door open and I was amazed at the size of the bathroom. Here I was thinking that the palace in the ruins had the best bathrooms but this beats it a hundred times.
"And finally," She says walking forward while I trailed behind her. She pushed another door at the right revealing a...
"Spring bath?" I asked and she said at the same time. We both looked at each other and chuckled. Her eyes lit up a little when she laughed making her beautiful features come to life.
"I would leave it to you then, M'lady" She bowed before turning around and when she was at the door about to leave, I called out to her.
"Wait!" I said and she stopped turning her head and waiting for whatever task I had for her but that wasn't the case. "What's your name?" I asked her and she smiled a little.
"My name is Fallon" She murmured and bowed before closing the door behind her.
I smiled a little at that and I was happy that I had made a friend here.
The hot spring water felt amazing against my skin. Yes, I decided to bath in it and I just couldn't resist-it felt like it was calling me and I did my body a good thing by not ignoring it.My dirty clothes are sitting by the edge of the pool "Fuck, this feels good" I mumbled to myself sinking deeper in the warm water."It does" Said a familiar voice and I yelp with my eyes widen and my heart beating roughly against my chest as i turned around to see who the intruder was while covering my breast with my arms."Wh-what are you doing?" I stammered as the king kept walking closer to the pool while taking off his clothes."Taking a bath" he said entering the pool. "You can't do that, it's occupied" I muttered moving backwards."I can," he replied swimming towards me while I moved back now at the edge of the pool. "And I will" He finished now chest to chest to me."You are a stranger to me" I whispered breathlessly as he took the hands that were covering my chest and placed them at my sides
Micah soon left after I kept silent when he said those words. I took a towel from the bathroom drying up my body before entering the room. I wondered what I would wear and surely, I couldn't put on my dirty clothes that had the stains of my mothers blood on it. I was grateful to see some clothes laying neatly on the bed and quickly put on the blue shirt. I had the trouser half way through my ass when the door was pushed open making me snap my head towards the intruder. The same girl from earlier came in with a tray of food in her hands and when she looked up, she noticed me struggling to fit my ass in the pants and quickly look at her feet with a blush coating her cheeks and neck."Come in" I mumbled sarcastically and with a huff I zipped up the zipper at the front of the pant."Sorry" Fallon murmured in a whisper as she shift on her right hips.I looked over to the tray that was sitting on the coffee table and picked up the warm bread and shove it in my mouth.I never knew I was thi
The man who threw the dagger jump on the table and pushed the door open. "Catch him!" Someone yelled as I stumbled back, falling flat on my butt.I crawled to the wall side so as to not me stepped on as the beasts chased after the man.I took in deep breaths, calming my racing heart before getting up while using the wall to support my weight. The door was wide open as I stood at the middle searching for the King.Is he dead? I asked myself and my heart clenched at the thought but I shook it out. The king is immortal. Lived for more than 700 years.His people surrounded him as I took cautious steps. His glowing golden eyes snapped to my figure making me stop.His men (and women) surrounding him all shifted to the sides giving me the view of the dagger that was stuck in the middle of his chest.I gasped in horror and stumbled forward with my hands over my mouth."Are you OK?" I asked placing my hands on his shoulder. He gave me a look and even i knew that it was a dumb question.Obviou
It took two days before Micah finally woke up. I never once left his side while he slept through the days.Today was the third day and the King was holding a meeting with the council members and other ranking members.Micah had asked me earlier this morning to accompany him to the days meeting and I agreed.We both walked into the big ass counsel room and everyone kept silent as the king strolled him. If one is to look closely, you would notice the limp when he walks.He sat on his chair and I was confused, where would I sit? There was no chair next to him and all thr other chairs has been occupied.Micah also noticed that there were no empty seats so he pulled me by my waist and I landed on his lap.I gasped in surprise and other cleared their throat pretending to not have noticed what just happened. I tried getting up but Micah wasn't having it. He's wounded and I do not need to add to his pain.I sighed after trying a couple of times and rested my back to his chest. I jerked forwar
Later that evening, Davina came to i and Micah's room and then applied some strange substance on his chest and also gave him some portion to take and apply on his chest for his journey.We're currently standing outside the castle. Micah's hand was holding mine as well watched his men gather around. When they were completed, he faced me and pressed a kiss on my head."I'll be back soon" he promised, giving my hand a light squeeze before letting go. He walked towards his men who were facing him and they took off their clothes.It is known that the beasts do not care about their nudity but I still can't my gaze to the ground but when I looked back up, everyone were watching so I took it as a normal thing.The deafening sound of men grunting and bones snapping in and out of places made me wince. God, that would hurt like a fuker.Soon, the sound of bones breaking and reforming stopped and I watched in fascination as their legs turned into limbs, fingers turning into paws and their faces l
My body hurt and I can't move. It felt like my body has been buried six feet under the snow and the coldness biting into my skin.I hiss as I rolled to my side and groaned when the pain hits harder. I closed my eyes and took in deep breaths then pulled myself in a sitting position.I blinded the tears that had gathered around my eyes and wait for the pain to subside.The dream felt real... So so real to the point that I could feel it even when I woke up. I raised my hand to the nightstand and turnee on the lamp. I gasped when I saw the small cuts from the tip of my fingers to my arm.I looked over the other parts of my body and my eyes widen when everyone single skin were covered in fresh cuts that leaked blood. I swallowed and looked around scared shitless for my life.Fearfully and with shaky hands, I brought my hand to the wall and turned on the light. I released a sigh of relief when I looked around and saw that no one was watching.My right eye ticked and stinged when I swinged m
MICAH'S POVWe've being running for a day now, nonstop and i could feel the venom of the witches snake bite spreading through my body and it is already weakening me."Let's rest for the day' i said to my men through mind link and their pace slowed down to a joggle before the stopped around me ans started shifting into their human forms.The bag that was strapped to my side in my wolf form suddenly became slack as u transformed to my human.I sat down underneath a tree and picked up the bag that held the medicine Diana gave to me yesterday abd brought out the small jar that contained the brown portion that would slow down the poison from spreading throughout my body.I opened the lid and the strong smell of the portion made my nose itch and my eyes water. I hissed in pain as I applied directly on the unhealed wound, tilting my head backward so it would rest on the tree.After a few minutes, the pain subside and it felt like I could finally breath again. I looked down to my chest to see
Fallon and I pulled away from each other as the door opened. I turned around with wide eyes, my heart beating down fast in my chest."I'm naked!" I shouted to whoever was there and the door paused."I just came to check up on you" the person said and I recognized the voice from yesterday to be Beta Kyles. "I'm fine" I said breathlessly then cleared my throat and repeated the words.He hesitated, his shadow shining into this room and his grip still on the door."Okay." He finally said before slowing closing the door behind him.I knew that Beta Kyle hesitated because of what happened yesterday. He practically saw me naked and I'm sure he wouldn't do it again unless he wishes to loose his head.Both Fallon and I released a sigh of relief at the same time. I pushed my back to the wall and closed my eyes trying to calm my racing heart.I do hope Beta Kyle couldn't smell our arousal or else that would be the end of me - or rather, Fallon and I could not afford that.Not that I am in love
