CHAPTER EIGHT
TITLE: Who Is He?
Octavia POV
It was already getting late, and mom and dad are yet to come back from labor. I would've gone out to search for them, but they already pleaded to never step out of the house, no matter what happens, the reason behind that, is still a mystery, which I'm yet to understand, and I'm already dying of curiosity.
Letting out a sigh, I yawned hungrily, before continuing with reading my book, but my mind kept wandering away from it. My stomach wouldn't stop grumbling violently, I haven't eaten anything since morning, so I don't blame my tiny bowel to be making noise. Even my wolf was hungry too, but we just g*t to endure it, until mom and dad gets back, I'm sure they'll bring something home for me.
I fixated my gaze on the book, giving it all my attention, trying to get distracted from the hunger, that kept trying to take over me.
After reading with an empty stomach for what seemed like forever, I started feeling weak and sleepy, I couldn't even get on my feet, so I just laid on the mat, and allowed sleep take over me, taking me to dreamland.
"Let me go you bastard!" I growled angrily, as I kept struggling to free myself, from the two hefty men, that held me down on my knees. Looking around the place, I realized that I was in what seemed like a courtroom. How did I got here? What have I done?
I tried using my power, but nothing seemed to be working.
"You bastards! I'm so going to deal with you!" I growled angrily, but the idiots paid deaf ears to my threats, they neither said a word, neither did they react, which left me thinking they must be deaf or something.
"How can you be harassing a lady in this manner, huh? Don't you have respect, huh!" I yelled angrily, still struggling to free myself from their dirty grip, but it only got worsened, as they tightened their grip on me. Ok now I'm screwed. What the heck is happening here?
"Ok I'll be calmed now, just let me go, we can sort this amicably, you know? Just tell me what I've done wrong, I promise, I'll apologize, just stop this harassment." I said calmly, trying to get them to reason with me.
The idiots didn't say a word to me. Like, what the heck! Are they dumb?
"Are you both dumb or deaf? Don't make me lose it, I promise, you won't like what will happen, if I lose it. I'm warning you now, let me go before I do something nasty." I yelled angrily.
"You're going to lose your energy if you continue like that, Octavia." A deep demonic voice filled the place, followed by a dark and intimidating aura, which consumed the entire place.
What! Who's that? How did he know my name?
The two hefty men, holding me down, quivered in fear, as they seemed to be affected by the aura. I didn't need anyone to tell me that whoever the person is, must be a dangerous creature.
They finally left me, and I heaved a sigh, before getting up on my feet. Turning around to check out where the aura was coming from, I was welcomed with the most scaring creature I've ever set my eyes on. It was a mysterious man, he looked so dangerous, with his very long claws, a big cloak wore on his body, with the big hoodie cap, covering his head, making his face invisible.
My heart tightened in fear, as I felt adrenaline pumping all over my body, my legs started wobbling on the floor, as my whole body trembled in rhythm with the violent beating of my heart, the atmosphere was very cool, but yet, I felt my whole body heat up, sweats emanating from all parts of my body.
The demon or whatever he is, took slow and steady steps towards me, and with every steps he takes, I found my whole body getting drown in fear, my soul was leaving me slowly, as his aura kept consuming me.
He finally stopped in front of me, and slowly, he raised his long claws to touch my face. My heart skipped at the sight of him, in as much as I wanted to step away from him and run for my life, I couldn't bring myself to moving, as I felt my legs, rooted to the spot with an invisible force, in as much as I wanted to run from the death, standing before me, my curiosity to know he is, kept consuming me, as I found myself, staring deep at the demon, trying to get a glimpse of what he actually look like. Even if he is going to kill me, I should see his face, right?
"Wh...who are you?" I finally forced myself to ask the question, which have I have been asking loudly inside of me.
He stopped his hand in mid air, and clenched his fist slowly, watching me. Even if I can't see his face, I know he isn't having pleasing look on.
"Do you want to know who I am?" His demonic voice thundered, ripping me of my braveness. I felt like my heart was being ripped off my chest, the fear in me triggered again, as my whole body started trembling and drowning in fear. I know I won't survive this though, he's sure going to kill me, but why? What exactly is my crime?
Like he was contemplating on whether to take the hoodie off his face, it took him what seemed like forever, before his hand finally reached his head, holding the hoodie, and ready to pull it off.
My eyes suddenly became heavy, by the time he pulled off the hoodie off his head, his face was blur,. I tried forcing my eyes opened, at least to see his face, but the more I tried, the more they became heavy, and slowly, his image faded away, followed by a faint voice, calling my name...
CHAPTER NINE
TITLE: My Miserable Life
Octavia POV
"Octavia...Octavia." The sound of my name became clearer, and the voice sounded really familiar, it belongs to mother. But, where I she?
I felt a tap on my body, and I je**ed, as my eyes flew open, that was when it dawned on me, that it was all a dream. It wasn't reality, I can't believe I got so scared in the dream. Letting out a sigh, I yawned tiredly, and sat up on the mat, before raising my gaze to see mom, still standing, but not as happy as usual. She always try to put on a smile for my sake, even when she's tired, and the woman standing before me now, is not like my cheerful mother.
"Mother?" I called, and rubbed my eyes to see her clearly.
A drop of tears slid down her cheeks, and I just couldn't help, but got worried. What could be wrong with her? Did she got hurt?
"What happened mother?" I asked worriedly, as I finally got on my feet, and held her hands, as I looked at her face keenly, like the answer to my question, was written on her face.
"You...your dad." She stuttered with a trembling mouth, as more tears came pouring down her cheeks.
I looked at her in confusion for seconds, wondering what the problem is, did father got hurt? Releasing her hands from mine, I stormed out of my room to their own room, and without knocking, I burst in, but stopped in my track, with my eyes widened in shock, as I was welcomed with the most heartbreaking sight of my life, there was father, laying on the mat, looking so pained, with bruises all over his body.
"Father!" My mouth trembled, as I stood rooted to the spot, not being able to wrap my head around what the whole s**t was all about.
He managed to turn his head to my direction, as a drop of tears slid down his eyes.
Hot tears poured down my eyes, I opened my mouth to talk, but words failed me, my heart tightened in pains and anger, who dare to do this to my father? Is it a crime to not be born with a silver spoon? Is it a crime to be poor? Each day, they go out to God knows where, work themselves to pulp, come back all tired, and sleep with an empty stomach. Just what have we done to moon goddess, to be punishing us in this manner? At times, I feel so miserable, I feel like I'm the reason they're suffering like this, I just feel like I should never have existed, I feel like I should just disappear, and never come back to their lives, but will they be able to take the pains? Will they be able live, without their only daughter, whom they're trying to protect, even with their lives?
I finally managed to move my legs from the spot, as I walked over to the mat, where he was laying almost lifeless, and sat beside his head. I just couldn't help the tears, that kept streaming down my cheeks, I just couldn't control it, seeing both of my parents in pains, has always been my only weakness, I hate seeing them hurt, they're too precious to me.
"Father." I called in tears, as took his head, and rested it on my straight legs.
He opened his eyes slowly, but closed it back, as tears poured from his eyes.
The door opened, and I didn't need anyone to tell me that it was mom.
"Who did this?" I asked in anger, not raising my head to look at her. I've made up my mind, I don't care about the consequences, but I'm going to make sure that I make whoever did this to my father, pay for everything, I'll make him or her, feel a million of the pains, which my poor father is going through now, and when I start my revenge, I won't stop, not until I reach climax.
"See...Octavia you have to be cal..."
"Don't tell me to calm down mother!" I snapped angrily, as I carefully dropped father's head on the clothes that was used to support it, before I got on my feet and faced mom, with so much anger in me. I know I'm not supposed to get mad at her, I know I shouldn't raise my voice at her, but then, that's the only way. They're in pains, and decided not to talk, for the sake of protecting me, like she always said.
"Octavia..."
"Mother please. I'll ask this just once, and if you don't tell me, I'm going out there to ask people myself, and face the consequences, but not after making that bastard, that dare to raise his or her hand on my father, pay for every pains he's going through now. So mother, speak up!" I snapped furiously, as more tears came rolling down my cheeks.
"Octavia please." Father's weak voice came on, as he stretched his hand, trying to reach me.
I stared at him for seconds, before turning and storming out of the house, ignoring mother's calls. I just wanna be alone, I need to clear off my head.
I ran out of the house, and soon, I was already striding down the thick dark forest, as more tears came rolling down my cheeks. I stopped running, then looked up to the sky, as I let out a scream. My body heat up, I could feel my eyes blazing with fire, and soon, my whole body lit up in flames. I was burning, but the fire didn't have any effect on me. Soon, I felt weak, as my legs started wobbling, I fell on my knees and cried heavily, as I couldn't take it anymore.
"Argh!" I screamed on top of my voice again, as I breath heavily, trying to control my beast, which was trying to take over me.
"Don't always let your anger control you." I heard a voice behind me.
Snapping my still hot and blazing eyes to the direction of the voice, I was welcomed with...
Chapter Ten
TITLE: We Met Again
Author POV
She stood up on her feet, and snapped her head to where the voice came from, but was shocked at who she was welcomed with, those grey eyes, she could never forget, that pointed nose, that her hand itched to poke, those sensual lips, which is alluring. It was her Mr handsome, the weird guy.
Slowly, she found her anger, dissipating slowly, the blaze on her eyes slowly faded away, as her eyes became normal pale blue again. In as much as she wanted to run, she just couldn't bring herself to doing it, as she found her curiosity to know who he was, kept getting the best of her. She turned to face him fully, maintaining her distance, so she could run for her dear life, if anything goes wrong.
"We met again." He smiled at her, as he batted his long lashes, a sweet and most beautiful smile, settling on his face, and as his dimples formed on his both cheeks, she just couldn't help, but drool at the demi god, standing before her. She wondered if there was anyone that could be as good looking and perfect looking as this man, for some reasons best known to her, she wished and prayed he turns out to be her mate. She had read many werewolves books, where a she wolf, meets her mate at times in the woods, she just couldn't help, but prayed that her own story turn same way.
"Hi...hi!" She stuttered, trying as much as not to give in to her nervousness, but it was still obvious anyways.
"Hi!" The young handsome man replied, studying the lady, standing before him.
An awkward silence took over the atmosphere, the only sound that could be heard, was that of the chirping sounds of birds, and the sound of the wind, blowing on the trees. Octavia felt her heart racing, in both fear and curiosity, she was scared at the thought of him, being one of their enemies, and curious, to know his identity.
"Who are you?" She mustered courage to ask the young man, after a long silence, as she prayed silently, hoping for a positive answer. She knows this might be the end of her, if he turns out to be their enemy, she rebuked herself, for not listening to her mother, when she was calling her. She stared at the demi god before her, anticipating for the worst to happen.
"My name is Kai." The young man finally answered, but that didn't satisfied her curiosity and fear, she wanted to know more about her prince charming.
"So, what's your name?" The man asked in return, staring deep into her pale blue eyes, like the answers were written on her face, or maybe he wanted looking into her soul.
She swallowed the lump in her throat, as she contemplated, whether to tell him her name or not. Different thoughts came flashing through her mind, as she stared at the young man. What if she told him her name, and he report her to the Alpha? Won't her parents be in trouble?
"Octavia." She finally told the anxious man, who has been waiting for what seemed like forever.
The young man creased his brows, and stared at the beauty goddess for a while, with a blank expression on his face, which only lasted for a few seconds, before it dissipated into a suspicious smile, which made Octavia really uncomfortable.
"So, how about we go tour the woods? It'll be fun, trust me." He gave her a sincere smile, but the lady was scared of following the stranger, asking to go on a tour with her. What if he kidnapped her? What if he take her away, and she never get to see her parents again.
"Stop thinking too much, I'm not a rogue." He cuts her off her trance, rolling his eyes. Wow, he look extremely cute, making that face.
"I have to go home." Octavia said, and without waiting to hear his voice out, she turned and started going towards one direction, which she wasn't sure, whether it'll lead her to her destination, all she needed at thay moment, was to get away from the stranger, trying to get so close to her.
Walking down the woods, without looking back at the man, that keeps filling her head, and messing up her mind, she suddenly halt abruptly, as she felt her legs rooted to the ground. She tried moving from the spot, but it seemed impossible, as an unknown force, was holding her down. Her heart flustered, as she gulped down nothing, trying to wrap her head around what could be wrong. In as much as she knew that it might be the work of the stranger, she didn't wanna believe that the young man would do a thing like that, she dismissed the thoughts, and convinced herself that it wasn't possible.
Still struggling to free herself from the unknown force, holding her down, she froze on her spot, as someone teleported to her front. Her eyes darted to the shoes, which the mysterious person was wearing, and it looked familiar. Raising her head to confirm her curiosity, a gasp escaped her lips, as her eyes widened in shock. She couldn't believe that her very own prince charming, has the ability of teleporting.
Gulping down the lump in her throat, her body trembled in fear, as she anticipated for the worst, maybe he was her enemy after all, maybe he just has the ability of seducing his preys. Oh moon goddess! Is this how she's gonna end up? Is this how she's gonna be separated from her loving parents? How could she be this stubborn? Even if he was going to kill her, could he please, let her see her parents, at least for once? Tears found their ways out of her eyes, as she stared at her doom, standing before her. The fact that the stranger, who was smiling a while ago, being all friendly, was now maintaining a straight face, made her quiver.
