Heart Of A Beast

~RINA~

Just like me, everyone has a shocked expression on their faces, the rest of the girls were looking at me pitifully, the council host stood a bit taller while conducting himself like the presence of the beast doesn’t unnerve him.

Right now I cared less, I was stunned *the beast want me* Now I see why we have been told to be careful of what we wished for.

“Then you will have to contest for her just like everyone else ” The council host replied motioning around.

The beast sneered at the response given to him, everyone was petrified of him and he knew that, from the look on his face, he seems to take pleasure in it.

“Why should I pay for what mine?” Ignoring the host, he twirls to look at me, his eyes softening, He proceeded to stare at me for a few minutes before extending his hand to me.

Afraid of what my fate would be if I went with him, I step back, a sob fleeing my lips.

“Let’s go little one” He coaxed gently and I rasped, does he believe I’m going to fall for that? I know he was going to slaughter me once he get the chance.

Someone who didn’t even think twice before killing his mate wouldn’t think twice before killing me with that thought on my mind I spun around and begin to run for my life, I heard him growled but I didn’t dare look back.

There’s no way I’m submitting to him without a fight, since I did not indicate where I was running to, but kept running anyway when abruptly something lunged in front of me causing me to shriek and I stopped dead in my track, staring at the large golden wolf in front of me.

The height alone Is enough to give anyone a heart attack, I couldn’t breathe appropriately as unshed tears clouded my vision, The animal was almost my height if not taller than me, I can’t go back now can I? So instead I took a step backward keeping my eyes pointed at the animal in front of me.

I watched in amazement when I heard the sound of bones cracking, almost blacking out, the animal turned out to be the beast himself, he stood before me proud and naked, and my gaze unconsciously ranks over his body. *What the butt!* I quickly snapped out of it before my gaze wanders down the forbidden area, I might be a virgin but I do know what male parts are.

“Please let me go, I won’t be of any use to you, I’m human and happened not to have any knowledge about the act of copulation, so I’ll be useless to you if you capture me” I begged going down on my knees, not caring if my words sounded funny, all I wanted right now is escaping the nightmare that is about to befall me.

When I got no reaction from him, I continue to rant on. “I’m a very rebellious girl, every day I get beaten and thrown into a cage, I promise there will be no use for me” Instead of remorse, my words just seem to make him angrier, I kept my mouth shut in an instance then I reopen them to add. “Please let me go” I was close to tears now.

*Please just let me go* I thought desperately.

“Uhm I get turned on with the thought of you fighting me every step” He smirked staring at me, as his eyes traveled down my body with an unmistakable male appreciation.

Instead of feeling disgusted by his interest, a sudden warmth spread throughout my body then my eyes widened when his words sink into my head. Is that something he should be saying in this kind of situation? Even though I couldn’t grab the meaning of those words fully, I could tell it was something inappropriate, especially the way it cause me to react.

“I won’t hurt you now, let go” He rehearsed, impatiently.

I didn’t move, I was too nervous to even though there was this voice inside my head, urging me to trust him. “You killed your mate, How can I trust you or your words?” Okay, I might have said too much cause I was interrupted by a loud furious growl from him.

“You have said enough! you’ve said more than enough” He bit out furiously then stalked towards me, before I could react he grabbed me by my upper arm, I cried out in fear which was soon followed by a flinch when I felt something stung me, drawing out blood, I felt dizzy all of a sudden and the last thing I saw before blacking out was the devil’s red eyes.

I woke up probably hours later to find myself in a room, the room wasn’t dark, it wasn’t the sort o room one keeps their captive. The room was decorated with violet and white stripes, it was gorgeous, what sort of room is it and why did he keep me here? The last thing I remember was the pain of him piercing something into my skin and his red glowing eyes.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

I never thought someone liked or appreciate color, well generally I don’t see him as anything other than a dangerous animal who had forcefully taken me against my will! I wondered what the council’s members will have to say about that.

Another part of me marveled at the idea of them risking everything to come and get me but that’s impossible, as long as I ain’t a werewolf or other creatures, cause the councils don’t care about us humans, we were treated as nobody but I’d rather be in the orphanage than here.

The door unlocked revealing an adolescent girl about my age, there were various scars on both her face and hands, and my heart almost fled from my chest, The beast is going to ill-treat me the exact way he maltreatment her? There was no doubt about that, I’m going to turn ugly! he might even order me to cut off my hair.

I couldn’t help it, I began to cry. The girl just gave me a gape at me like I had lost my mind or something, she lowered a neatly folded cloth on the bed.

“Alpha said you should change and come with me,” She announced.

The more I stared at her the harder I wept, she was so used to pain that she didn’t even care, I’m never going to get used to something like that I’ll make it my duty to baffle the beast, I’d rather die quickly than have to go through that torture.

“Inform him that, I don’t want to see him or meet him! He should just go to hell” I instructed, the girl gulped fearfully and then glare at me in panic, she then yanked me by the shoulders shaking me like I was possessed by a devil.

“If I were you I’d monitor my saucy tongue, It is going to get in nowhere one, I meant no one is permitted to talk to Alpha in that manner. The last girl to do it, why don’t you ask me about what happened to her?” She hissed at me.

“What happened?” I inquired in absolute shock.

“Her breasts and private parts are still dangling in the red room” She strode away from me. “If I were you, I’d keep my head down and do only as I am told. Who knows? you might last longer. I’ll be waiting for you outside” She walked away leaving me there with my thoughts.

Choosing to accept the girl’s suggestion, I hastily change into the clothing she had dropped on the bed, the gown was lengthy draping around my legs. I was at least glad for the decency it’s provided.
