Marigold POV
My eyes flutter open and all I saw was pure darkness
A stinging pain in my head made my cry out, unconsciously my hand went to spot that ached and I could feel a huge bum
I was done for, I knew it, tears ran down my face as I bawled into my hands, my dad , Emily, I would never see them again
I shouldn't have done this, I should have rejected it when Emily brought it up
I couldn't even bring myself to hate her because Emily always had crazy ideas
I should have hope
Emily will take care of my dad, I trust her on that, she would take care of him
All I had to do now is focus on surviving and praying for his recovery
I sat up and rest my back on the wall and that when I saw it, looking straight at me, bright yellow eyes that screamed hunger
I couldn't move back, there was nowhere to go, my heart had stopped working the moment I laid eyes on it
I sharply held my breath as it slowly walked towards me
OH NO
Emily POV
Flashback to that Night
Looking at the great wall that guarded the palace, I smile
I successfully helped Marigold into the palace with the help of my supernatural powers which Marigold knew nothing about
I had always kept my life a secret from her
I was a goddess who was enthroned with the power to write the fate of Gerald and Marigold
They were meant to be but it wasn't going to be easy, I had seen their future and only their love can beat this
A love that doesn't exist at this moment, a love so dangerous
I felt a shiver in my body and I knew, I felt it, I could feel it, the connection had been made
Gerald must be filled with question, unanswered curiosities that how would have to figure out himself
"It's left for you, Marigold to commence the journey of your fate, Your father is in safe hands" I say and snap my fingers, immediately appearing in front of Marigold home
I opened my hands and a letter appeared, the letter I made that left a message in Marigold calligraphy claiming she had gotten a job in the palace and would visit soon
Gradually walking through the closed door, I placed the letter on the table beside the bed her father was rested and then vanished
Marigold POV
As The wolf came closer, it shifted into a human, The Alpha, his eyes was filled with shock and under the shock was sadness
He finally came close to a point I could see his face and I was bewildered to see tears on his face, his face then squeezed in anger, he raised me up with speed and imprisoned me by the wall
"WHO EXACTLY ARE YOU?" His voice came out tough but strained
I opened my mouth to talk but the fear that bubbled within me restricted my voice from coming out and instead tears ran down my cheek, same was happening to him
Whywas he crying? I didn't say anything to warrant his tears
"FUCK!!!" He shouts and wipes the tears running down his face with annoyance, he backs me
My gaze went to his clenched fist and I knew if I was to utter a word, that fist would come straight at my face, no doubt
He turns to me and bends to the ground picking up a piece of stone that had a sharp edge
He walks back to me like he was about solving a mystery
"Give me your hand" he says, his voice low, his breath coming out raged
I moved back in fear, he was going to do something to me, I could feel it
"GIVE ME YOU ARM GODDAMIT" He shouts and I quickly stretch out my hand to him
He grips it harshly making me wince and then with the stone in his hand, he cuts me
I dragged my hand back out of reflex and grips the bleeding part, looking at him in horror
Why would he do that and my answer was given to me
A cut appeared on his arm, the same spot he cut me and it began bleeding
He groans in pain, wait why was he groaning, it didn't hurt that much, I was wrong, his hand began to have purple veins and his face tightened in pain
He grips the arms dearly and looks at me, his eyes bloodshot red, he needed help and I decided to make a daring decision
Slowly, I walked towards him and held the hand that was bleeding and just like magic, the veins began disappearing and the cut was closed like it was never there
His eyes widens in surprised before he yanks his hand out of mine, hitting the cut that he had made and surprisingly hadn't disappeared like his
He walks to me, his stride left a dreadful feeling in me as he got closer
I wanted to disappear at that moment, I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me, I don't want to know what he was about to do
"How did you get into the palace?" his words left me frozen
Here l I was wishing the theft would have been forgotten but I guess not
"i..i I sneaked in" I couldn't help but stutter, the space he had left between us was choky
I could feel his breath on my face, his 2 arms trapped me in between them and then he got closer
My breath hitched and we locked eyes, there was something about his eyes that left a weird feeling in me
His eyes trailed my face, I saw his gaze lock on my lips before he completely looked away like he wasn't staring to begin with
"Do you want to be punished or do you want to tell the truth, your pick sweetheart" his voice sent shivers down my spine and to my core
I locked my thighs together and folded my lips, what was this feeling I had when he called me sweetheart
Why did I suddenly feel hot, I tried studying his face but it was blank, his eyes held no emotion but the only movement on his neutral face was the raising of his eyebrow when I refused to answer
His right hand came to grip my chin in a tight hold, his thumb brushing my lower lip in the process but that wasn't what I focused on
The pain from gripping my jaw hit me and I let out a quiet groan, he smirks and then stepped back, what was so amusing? Could werewolves read minds?
The door to the place I was imprisoned opens and then closes with a loud thud
I was now alone in the dark empty room, reality struck like it always did but this time left an open wound
It was just me and me alone, I was sure my eyes were red from crying, my gaze went to the cut on my hand and slowly my flesh began to close up
With the look on the Alpha's face, I knew
This was only the beginning
