SAOIRSE
The room where I was locked in was large, enough for ten people to live in it. It was much larger than our whole house at Merigon. The large bed in the middle of the room was big enough to fit an elephant. It has a four four wooden post in each corner of the bed while a long white mesh curtain is hanging from it. There was a huge glass door on the side of the room.
"I should break this glass door so I can escape this castle," I told myself.
I'm already talking to myself, I think I'm close to losing my mind. I quickly searched the room to look for something to throw at the door so I could break the glass. My eyes immediately caught the small chair that was sitting next to the bedside table.
I picked it up and threw it in the glass door using all of my force. I was expecting a loud crashing of glasses coming from the door but instead there was a large force that pushed me back along with the chair I am holding.
My body was thrown up in the air and I was expecting a cold and hard concrete to catch my body but instead I was wrapped in the strong arms of this dangerously handsome man. I was now staring at the most exquisite pair of eyes I ever laid my eyes on.
"I was out for a second and you're already making trouble? Tsk, Tsk, Tsk," he said with his baritone voice. Their faces are inches away and our lips almost brush with each other.
"W-What.." I can't find my words, I'm lost in his gaze.
This is the first time that I felt lost in the gaze of a man. No one ever makes me feel like this. I quickly pushed myself up so I could put distance between us.
Now that I can look at him closely, saying that he's handsome is an understatement. His tall, broad shoulder, and well built body can tower any woman he wants. The red and blue color of his eyes compliments his deep set eyelids and thick eyebrows. I can already imagine how a woman will drool over the sight of his perfectly shaped jawline and any woman will definitely do anything just to get a taste of that luscious lips.
"Are you done, checking up on me, My Lady?" he said, grabbing my attention. I quickly shift my gaze from his alluring body up to his mesmerizing face.
Did I just check him out? Am I crushing over this gorgeous monster?
"Why would I? It's not that you are that pleasing to look at," I lied. He is definitely pleasing to look at.
"Is that so? It would be the first you, that a woman would tell me that I'm not that pleasing to look at," he said while slowly leaning to the side and his eyes roaming around my body. I immediately put my hands in front of me, hoping that somehow I could cover my whole body from his burning gaze.
"Stop eye-raping me, will you?" I shouted at him. He didn't mind it and slowly walked towards me taking up the little space between us.
"And if I don't?" he said while his head is slowly leaning towards me.
"I'll scream!" I threatened him.
"Then?" he answered unbothered with my threat.
"I-I.." I stuttered. I don't know what to say, he's right, what if I scream? He owns the f*cking place. No one would dare to save me from this gorgeous monster.
"I think we're settled," he confidently said then put a distance between us.
"Now, tell me, what are you doing in my forest?" he said while standing in front of the big room and his arms are folded across his chest.
"I don't know, one thing I remember is that we were running through the forest to get away from those men who were trying to kill us," I explained.
"We? Who are you with?" he asked with a wrinkle on his forehead.
"My Grandmother," I said in a soft voice. It still breaks my heart when I remember what happened to my Nana.
"What the f*ck! You even brought a companion while trespassing my property!" he exclaimed.
"Can't you hear what I just said? We were being chased to death and all you think is about us trespassing your property?" I burst out in anger. How could this man just think about himself. Come to think of it, I'm not even sure if this man is a human or what. I can't smell a wolf scent from him and his skin is as warm as the summer, clearly indicating he's not a vampire but I don't think he's human at all.
"Silence! Don't you dare shout at me, little one! My patience is not long enough to tolerate such disobedience," he shouted back at me.
"Why? What would you do if I didn't obey you? Are you going to kill me? Come on, kill me!" I challenge him. He was taken aback by my sudden outburst. I'm not afraid of him, I don't see any reason to live after all. The only woman who loved me was gone.
"You're one feisty little woman, young lady, but I don't think you're in the position to threaten me. I can have your body ravished by my pets and no one will budge an eye."
"I don't care. Do what you have to do," I said indisposed. Then I walk towards the bed and sit down while crossing my arms across. I can see his reaction, he can't believe how unbothered I am towards my current situation.
I heard him take a deep breath before walking towards me.
"Get up, we'll look for your grandmother and I'll have one of the Duwandi to guide you out of Echanta."
"No need, I know where my grandmother is," I blandly told him.
"Then get up and we'll get her so you can leave my forest immediately," he said clearly annoyed by my presence.
"She's dead. I already turned her into a flower because I can't make her a proper burial."
My tears started to roll down my cheeks as I remember how my grandmother died in my arms. I can't help but blame myself for not being able to save her. What's the use of my magic if I can't even save the only person who loved me and took care of me.
"I-I'm sorry," he said.
I can hear softness in his voice, it was as if he's sympathetic with what I am going through right now. I lift my face so I can look at him but I can see how his face shifted from tenderness to being dark and stiff. This man is hard to read. It's as if he built a thick wall around him that no one can break.
He is masking the sadness in his eyes through his tough and dark face. I don't know what got it to me but I suddenly felt something inside me. I wanted to take away the sadness in his eyes. I suddenly felt the urge to comfort him and let him know that I am here for him. There's something inside me that wants to be with him and feel his warmth. I stood up and suddenly grabbed his neck so I could kiss him but he was taller and way larger than me.
He didn't even bulge when I tried to pull his nape towards me. He just glared at me, confused on what was happening to me and why I am suddenly acting weird. My body started to heat up and I felt something burning inside me. My hazel eyes started to change its color to a bright yellow.
My body started to move on its own and I suddenly jumped onto him. He was shocked by my sudden aggressiveness
"What is wrong with you?" he screamed at me while trying to get away from me.
My wolf strength is getting stronger and I'm starting to finally subdue him and pinned him on the ground. He was taken aback by my sudden burst of strength. I held both of his arms and pinned him on the ground before finally claiming his lips. The heat in my body started to intensify when our lips touched.
Mate! I heard my wolf shout. I grabbed his nape so I could fully kiss his mouth but he uses that chance so he can finally free himself from me.
He quickly shifted his body and now he's the one on top of me while pinning both of my hands on the floor. I don't know what's happening to me but I really wanted to taste his lips again. My fangs started to come out, I don't know what is happening to me but my wolf wants to come out of the sudden. She hasn't done that since my coming-of-age. I can see his confused face staring at me while trying to hold me down.
He quickly stood up and grabbed a rope that was sitting in the small table beside the bed and quickly wrapped it around my hand before pulling me up. He then dragged me to the bed and tied me up against it.
"T-This can't be," he said.
I don't know what he's talking about, what the feeling of my body burning is still there. I can feel that my wolf is already gone but I don't why I'm still feeling this way. I tried to struggle and used all my strength to free myself but it's not working. I tried to awaken my wolf and try to shift but it's not working like the first time I tried. I don't understand what triggered my wolf awhile ago and why it's not working now.
"What did you do to me?" I asked him.
He's the only reason that I could think of why this is happening to me. I don't have much experience being a werewolf because I don't know any werewolf. The night of my coming-of-age, only my grandmother was there to be with me when I transformed. That's the first and last time that my wolf came out until now. I don't know what triggers her to come out.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"What the f*ck? Don't tell me you suddenly forget who I am?" I sarcastically answered him.
"This can't be happening," he said panicking while facing back and forth.
"What the f*ck are you talking about? Please tell me what is happening to me? Why does my body suddenly feel hot?"
"You're in heat," he said without even looking at me, before he walked towards the door and left me there bound.
"W-What?" I was shocked at his words.
I screamed one more time so he would go back and explain everything to me. It was the first time that I experienced that kind of sensation. It was as if my body was burning on fire and I was itching for his touch. The moment he walked out, my wolf suddenly calmed down. That brings me to the conclusion that he was the reason why I’m suddenly acting weird.
I need to know what’s happening to me!
