I had been walking all day and was already tired as well as my horse who seemed to walk slowly and lazily now.I stopped by a stream to get a drink and give some to my horse too. The water was cold and crystal clear. I looked around the large forest where I was alone, the trees were so tall that they covered the light that penetrated the forest making it look darker.The sounds of birds whistling, insects chirping and the frogs croaking gave out a melodious tune. I dipped my feet into the water and started splashing them around. Not sure what I was thinking I suddenly pulled off my clothes and was in only a bra and panties. I dipped my head into the water. I was never a bad swimmer, part of my training while growing up was to swim just incase we found ourselves in between a river and we have no other than to swim away. I was in the water for a while till I heard voices above, I swam to the shore where no one would see me. I observed the people that were there they seem to be loo
“Your highness, please get up. We are under attack.” Jackson tapped Caroline.Caroline lazily opened her eyes. She rubbed them to get the sleep off her eyes. “Hugh… How?” She asked“I don’t know, let’s get out of here now. Ryu and the rest are distracting them. We have to get you to safety now.”Caroline quickly gets up and grabs her things. Her and Jackson fled in the dark forest. The clash of swords grew fainter behind them as they fled. They ran as fast as they could. They kept running in the dark path until Caroline missed her steps. There were so many slopes in the woods and they were very slippery.Caroline fell down the slopes, she rolled down the slopes till she was stopped by a huge tree trunk causing her to yelp.Jackson wasn’t anywhere close to her. She could hear the footsteps of someone approaching. She tried to steady her ragged breath. She dragged herself up and continued to run as fast as she could but her feet gave way and she fell again.Trying to stand again, Caro
The frail old lady had brought me into a large filled room which had bunk beds. I guess that’s where all the maids stayed.Some were sleeping and snoring loudly already, while some formed groups and were babbling about whatever. As I walked in I felt their whole gaze at me. Feeling a bit awkaI just put my head down and followed behind the old lady.“Here is your bed.” The old lady says as she stopped at the end of the room pointing to a corner. I looked in there and someone was already sleeping on the down bunk and the empty one above her was filled with junks. It was messy. I gulped and thanked the old lady.I watched her leave the room till there was no sign of ger again. Looking back at the old messy bed before me, I sighed not sure where to start from. I started bringing down the stuff one at a time. They were all dusty, this was my first time cleaning. I’m a fucking Princess for crying out loud. But I wouldn’t say that out loud.“Hello I’m Danielle, let me help you.” I turned
Danielle had left me behind saying she was never allowed into the main building and she couldn't lead me there.I sighed unfortunately carrying my broken leg as I limped. I wasn't even sure where the main building was located, the direction Danielle had given me was quite messed up as well owing to the fact that there were so many buildings in the compound which looked more like an estate or perhaps a maze.I came across a good-looking building which I ought to believe to be the main building. I wasn't even sure who I was going to see.The guards all stood in their positions with their faces mean. I could ask them for help and direction I thought.“Uhmm…excuse me Please is this the main building? I was asked to come here by the head maid.” I say fear is gripping a hold of me.The man glanced at me giving me some dirty creepy look which made me quite uncomfortable. I thought of going back to the maids quarter and ask for a precise direction but the stress of carrying my limped leg ove
I stood before Rylands’ intimidating gaze. I could feel his eyes hovering around me like he wanted to see the inside of my soul.His spacious office was all dark coloured and his woody scented cologne filled the whole room. It was a bit relaxing except for his stares that made me feel so nervous and the unkneering quietness.I kept my head face down so as not to stare into his soulless eyes.“Who are you?” He suddenly asks, breaking the Silence between us.“Hmm…”“You have to be fucking truthful or I will torture you till you beg to die.” he sounded so intimidating tho his voice was calm.I gulped in fear at the thought of the wicked things he would do to me. My fingers kept trembling by my side. My brain was telling me to run while me deets just glued to the ground not able to move itself.“Answer me!” he shouted impatiently stamping his fist on patiently.“I'm Jasmine, a common village girl.” I say stuttering“I’ll pull your fingers out one by one if you dare lie to me. There is no
“What just happened?” Kai asked, confused running his hands through his hair. He saw Ryland was in danger from the CCTV he had connected round the house to keep watch of him whenever he seemed to be bizarre.“Nothing.” Ryland replies nonchalantly. His eyes still gazed at the door Jasmine had run out from. “You can’t tell me anything, the whole kitchen is shattered with broken bottles and the cellar seems completely empty and you were kiss-” he cuts his word short and takes a deep breath not to get so mad.“You were in near danger, Ryland, you would have hurt her,” he says, his voice calming down a bit.“Well I didn't, she tamed me.” he says “Well good for you, but we still aren't sure who she is or where she came from.” “You can keep figuring that out. That's your work from now on, bring reports back to me.” Ryland orders him to get up from his spot and walks out the same door Jasmine has passed through.***I couldn't feel more embarrassed at what I had done and seeing Kai right t
“The Caribbean Pack seems to be growing stronger, they are making alliances with different packs with small numbers so they can lay an attack. We have to get more soldiers to grow our pack.” Kai explains but gets mad when the person who he seems to be talking to isn’t responding.“Ryland for fuck sake please pay attention.” his voice was a bit mad. Ryland looks at him and smirks. “Being an alpha comes with so many responsibilities, Kai, and I'm tired of them. You are capable enough of handling the whole pack situation and in a matter of time I’ll be no more.”“Fuck that Ryland!” Kai growls a hint of anger displayed in his eyes. “Let it all out Kai, it's just an emotion.” Ryland says taunting him “You know Kai if you keep up like this, you would never be the leader you want to truly be. You would always remain a Second. A mere Beta and that's why your mate rejected you, to flee with some scum dude." He hadn't finished his statement when Kai suddenly attacked him, pinning him against
Jasmine walked down the grand staircase that served as a route to the ground floor and the up floors. There were three floors in the building and she had only seen two. The third floor and the first floor. She walked down the stairs leading to the second floor.As expected, it was even more breathtaking than the first floor. There was a large open space. The gray curtains were tied back to let the sunshine pierce through the windows. There was a gold-looking, brass candle bar which hung in each corner of the wall. They each held three candles. She couldn’t help but commend Ryland’s good taste in fashion. There were two doors on the far wall and she kind of wondered where they led to. She imagined them to be the rooms where Ryland did some of his dirty jobs. He wasn’t a saint either way, so he probably had something up his sleeve. The room was so big that a large ball could be held in it. But again she was curious if Ryland lived alone in such a place. Did Ryland have family members
