Himari’s POV. - I can no longer feel my lower body at all in this forced kneeling position I’ve been fixed into, having my head pressured to the cold concrete floor. How can they be so cruel and heartless to a helpless little Omega? Tears burn in the back of my throbbing eyes as my face accidentally falls to the side, cracking a painful gasp out of my busted and hurting lips. I cry in silence, praying my family is okay and they can come to help me from this malicious imprisonment. Being accused of treason inevitably means my death. ‘Oh goddess, is this the sort of fate that awaits me? To be falsely accused of a ploy I’m clueless about and sentenced to such a wicked death?’ In my misery, consciousness leaves me for the umpteenth time and the next I’m rousing, is to the acidic burns of wolfsbane being splashed over my exposed back. “Aaaahhh!” I scream out in paramount agony and excruciating pain, searing vivaciously throughout my being from the thorn flesh of my back. My body er
Himari’s POV.-I feel my facial muscle rise and contort with discomfort from the heat burning against my skin. With a frown, I growl in my throat and prise my lids open. “Ow,” I wince as the sunlight blinds me, shifting away from it with a groan.This feels strange, did I die and go to heaven? Is that why I’m laying on a very soft and comfortable cloud in sleep like this? Is the sun in Heaven this piercing though?“Oh, she’s coming awake. I should convey this to the master right away.”Is that an Angel? Can I really be in Heaven then? Mirth sprouts onto my face as I concede to this bright thought, a smile forming on my face as I now decide to bring my eyes open and embrace my lofty afterlife. And it all goes flying away like balloons when I see a man staring down at me with relief. Clad in a white lab coat and a stethoscope hanging around his neck.Soft grays meet mine, creasing a little around the corners as I take in his features. Greying swept back hair and orbs behind
Himari’s POV.-As Tess brings me to wooden large double doors, my pensiveness steams off my head as I turn to her in a panic. Tess sighs softly, waving her fingers back to signal the other maids to leave us alone in the spacious hallway. I glance up at the imposing heavy doors with golden ornate curved handles, and I swallow a threatening lump. I can’t seem to summon ease into my rattling system.“Himari, there’s nothing to feel so paranoid about. It’s just a meal with the master, or do you wish to impale the impression he’s been informed about you?” She catches my fretful eyes with her encouraging ones and I still, forcing my racing nerves to calm down for a bit by intertwining my fingers.I shake my head against it, “N-not at all. I wish to express my gratitude for his help”. I tell her my heart and watch her face contort to display a full smile as she brings her hands to place them over my small shoulders. And looking down at me, she quickly adds, “That’s right, now, let's
Himari’s POV.-Of all mistakes I could’ve made, why did I end up attracting such a malignant Demon?Once again, I’ve hit such bad luck and death refuses to desist from my shadows. Looking at the cruel mischief sitting on his sinfully attractive face, I let out a hefty sigh of resignation. Probably, it meant that for me to have a better life than this, I needed to give up the life I’m living in other to fulfill the prerequisite to attaining a new one. I smile through my tears as I rasp airily, “Go ahead...bring an end to my misery, Demon”. It’s not like a girl like me can go against such a fearsome creature like him. I was only lucky that night and lucks aren’t reoccurring.“There’s no fun ending something with such sickening self-abasement” His face contorts into a dark rage and I yelp, being thrown to the floor. I smack my body so heavily, falling on my back with a painful cry.The Demon steps over my head, looking down at me with intrinsic disgust as he stiffly moves h
Zorien’s POV.-“H-help me...”For centuries, the Werewolves, the largest in population among the Were-beings, and us, Demons, have been in an antagonistic war. It’s been ongoing for so many years that I’ve come to forget the meaning of it over time. What had been the embers of such an irredeemable inferno? Hm, had it been because we couldn’t stand each other’s guts?I watch the she-wolf breathe her last at my feet with repine. What is it about this feeble creature I had chosen to keep a keen watch over since the day she had been conceived in her mother’s womb? I don’t take a fondness for such uncouth and uncultured animals; especially ones who’re ever obnoxious enough to have kept baring their fangs at us for many centuries.Yet, I can’t refute the force of nature that’s tied a red string of fate around my finger in attachment to hers. For a life spanning over a century, I’ve courted four mates in those times. All of which were of the same race as me. Then I had caught a str
Zorien’s POV.-Suddenly, she moves and I retract my claws and keep my face close behind her head. She realizes something restricting her from making a turn and instead of turning the other way and returning to sleep, she surprises me by continuously pushing against me.“I see the pup I took in has festered enough. Return to sleep.”Her shivering from my cold tone ceases after a few minutes and she’s breathing evenly again. I pull her close to me so easily that my eyes twitch. I expected her to have fattened up at least a little. Oh, Tess did say she had slept all day. What is wrong with me? Why should I even care about her health at all?I press my nostrils against her hair, inhaling the rich lush greens and lavender...dang it, it’s too much of a pull even with my reinforced restraints. My other arm greedily digs beneath to wrap her torso, pulling her into my chest as I give in to her alluring delicate scent.What do I do with this pup? On one hand, I want to end her life
Himari’s POV.-“Tsk, I was wondering where that awful stench kept pervading from. So it was you, filthy little human.”I receive Flynn’s support to stand up, now seeing the imposing assertive aura that’s been burning against my back. Striking features comprising of scrutinizing derogatory lime-green orbs, a pointed nose, and red glossy twisted lips, all on a porcelain scowling face. She wears her wavy black-olive long hair in a flow down her back, holding an arrogant stance as she berates me into nothing.“Are you okay?” I hear Flynn’s worry and manage a strained nod, watching the tall and slender beauty marching toward me.“What audacity you have-"“Kitra, stop it.” That’s the Demon’s voice. Oh, he finally decides to say something. Tension slips into the air as Kitra now directs her glare towards the Demon, curtly eying me in a way that says she’ll get back to me later as she changes the direction of her gait to where they are.“What the hell, Zorien! Do you have any i
Himari’s POV.-Zorien steps out of the bathroom with a white towel tied around his waist and another over his dripping hair. My eyes bulge out and my jaw slackens.‘W-what in the moon is he doing?!’ Every nerve ending in my body seems to be vibrating as he lifts both his taunt arms to rub the towel roughly in his hair.And here I am, frozen like a statue and having a free show of his saliva-inducing wet body. Chiseled molded six-pack hinged to perfection into that wet sinful body; defined and drool-worthy muscly arms and a deeply carved V-line that plunges dangerously to disappear beneath the towel struggling to hold onto his lower body.‘Censor your eyes, Himari’ I squirm restlessly, biting down on my nails to hide my beet-red face.How dare he snag up such good looks for himself? Has he no shame when he sees other males? This is beyond conventional! It’s not normal.“Heh, what’re you acting all shy for, pup? I know how much you’ve been looking forward to this.” A sickly-sw
