Ella Gwen and her mean daughter, Alessa were just by the door. Terror filled me and I made to slam the door into their faces but they were too fast and I could not hold them back when they lunged at me, they were in the room in the next moment. "You really think you would have a better life than we could ever have, sister?" Alessa asked when they were standing above me while I remained on the floor "How did you sneaky things get in here?" I asked instead. They exchanged glances and laughed. "Using a little bit of magic does not hurt anyone, dear." Gwen said in her usual sly manner She looked indeed like she had used magic. She appeared older than I remembered her to be " I have always liked how ambitious you are. Even as a little girl, you have always had big dreams and I can't think of anything that you have ever wanted that you never had, even if you needed to break others in the process of acquiring what you want." "That is not true, Gwen!" I protested as she looked down
EllaI clutched my dress tightly, my other hand holding up an umbrella over my being, to ward off the rain. Up above, the sun made sneak peeks through the hitherto cloudy sky.It had barely drizzled, but I couldn't afford to let even a drop touch my skin. I threw the cab driver who had dropped me off, a tight-lipped smile, making a mental note to bring my car over to school the next time.Throughout the ride over to my home, I had caught the fool throwing lewd glances, through the rearview mirror, at me, and had cursed at him in my head. It was lucky I had been in my best mood yet, else he'd have felt his scrotum in his mouth by the time he'd dropped me off.My day at school had been quite hectic, and all I craved was a good rest. My father's mansion bequeathed to him by the Alpha of The Feral wolves pack, came into view. It stood proudly, the center of attention, with a huge, giant gate. Right at its front, in the middle, was a fountain. It was carved in the shape o
EllaI sat on the bed, taking an uninterested glance at my wristwatch. Like I had been doing for the past few hours. It was a bright new morning, and it had dawned clear. I glanced at my floor-to-ceiling windows and sighed. My room was dark, and I basked in the serenity it had to offer. I needed it.I hadn't gone to the date last night, and if anything I dreaded heading downstairs. Scratch that, I dreaded having to face my father.'Brace yourself, Ella. You've decided to leave, and that's the biggest decision you've ever made.' Wolfie's voice disrupted my thoughts, making me sigh.That was right. If things boiled down to the worst, I was definitely going to leave the pack. A loud bang at my door made me jolt, my eyes automatically widening."Alright, here goes nothing," I muttered under my breath.It was my angry-faced father at the door. "Father, I can explain..." I didn't get to let the words out, when a deafening slap echoed. My hands flew to my cheeks,
Ella"Drive Lila," I whispered, leaning against the backrest. She said nothing, however, but pulled over by the roadside, and cast me a stare. I squirmed visibly. I knew that look."Are you fine, Ella? I wanted to wait till we get to the restaurant, but it's been a while since I've seen you. I just didn't expect us to meet in this manner..." Her voice cracked, and she trailed off.Knowing how emotional Lila could be at times, I could tell she was holding back her tears. However, I didn't say a word. I couldn't. I was sure as hell if I did, she'd break down. And so, I held back my words and curled my hands into fists."What happened, Ella?" Lila asked again, wiping off the tear from her eyes. "Let's get to the restaurant." I turned my face away and insisted.Silence reigned after I said those words. None of us ventured to speak. The air suddenly became suffocating, and I couldn't bear it. The tears spilled down fast before I could stop them."I'm sorry, for keep
EllaI gulped nervously, avoiding his gaze. "Yes, it's Ella. Good evening Alpha Vincenzo." I curtsied."Why are you up?" He asked. If he'd acknowledged my greeting, his gaze didn't show. I blinked. He definitely didn't know what effects his actions were having on my body. I felt my nipple hardening, and I lowered my head embarrassedly afraid he'd notice. It was all I could do, to stop myself from jumping against him. He was a walking aphrodisiac. At the thought, I felt a pool of desire between my legs. 'Fuck,' I muttered inwardly."Um.. I want to stay up a little while longer." Surprisingly, my voice came out calmer than I had expected.He nodded, and walked off. It wasn't till he had gone far, did I wonder why he came downstairs, clad in only a towel, right after a shower. My eyes trailed him till he disappeared from sight. I patted my chest, and sat back down, clamping my legs against each other. I could feel the moistness of my juice against my panties. My heart di
VincenzoI trailed her with my eyes, till she was out of sight. I did it, without appearing to do so. I cut a bit of the lasagna on my plate and took a bite."Father, you sent her away with your words." I heard Lila say.I didn't reply, taking a sip of water instead. "Father, you.." she began saying again when I cut her off. "Not now Lila. Your friend should be grateful I allowed her to stay with the pack, even though I'm not supposed to do so." I said sternly. I avoided looking at her, not wanting to rouse memories that I desperately wanted not to awaken."Just great." She muttered, and slamming her fists on the table, she mumbled out of the dining hall. Leaving me to my thoughts.As the door shut, I leaned on the chair. "Ella," I murmured. An image of her flashed through my mind, and I growled lowly.'Snooping on a naked woman is exactly what an Alpha would do.' Ray said, with a yawn.'I didn't know she'd want to shift. I don't even know why I trailed her last nigh
CHAPTER SIX Ella"Nice shot," Lila said with a clap. I smiled."Thanks, babe." I arched my bow and took a stance. Just then I felt a presence. Although it was faint, there was no way I'd mistake that scent for someone's.I whirled around, locking gazes with the one person who had dominated my thoughts all day. He was with someone. Seeing how close they seemed, I felt a knot tighten in my throat.I leaned in towards Lila. "Here, you can continue. I'd like some alone time." And with that, I raced into the woods without looking back.Finding a quiet spot underneath a tree, I sat down and leaned on the trunk. 'Maybe I shouldn't have come.' I sighed. What the hell had I been thinking? 'Which do you think is worse? Getting stuck up with your stepmother who wants to sell you off, or seeing that your long-time crush has someone else?' Wolfie asked calmly.'I don't know. I don't want both.' I sighed. 'I should probably stay away from both. I could blend in as a human too.' A
EllaThe days sped by faster than I wanted them to. As I sat on my bed one morning, after having one of my most dreaded nightmares, I massaged my temple. Leaning on the headboard, and gazing out through the window, I sighed. The day had dawned bright and beautiful indeed.'Wolfie, do you think a race this morning would do?' I questioned, clambering off the bed.'You promised Lila to accompany her shopping, remember?' My wolf protested.'She'd understand. My head feels like a mess.' I sighed, shuddering as snippets of the nightmare flashed through my mind. It wasn't the first. Ever since I was younger, after losing my mother, I always had nightmares about her. It didn't help that my father was a complete drunk. A drunkard Alpha, rare.'Well, if she'd understand.' I could picture my wolf wagging her tail, as she uttered the words. Chuckling, I made my way to the bathroom. All through the bath, I wondered how Vincenzo was. Ever since our little encounter, I hadn't run
