"Are you okay sweetie?" A woman in her early forties asked, worry etched on her face.
"Yes. I'm fine. Leave me alone for some time." She shouted from inside the room. She had not eaten for three days as she locked herself in her room. The disturbing image of her leaving the festival in between and running towards their house while growling in pain was something that played in repeat in her parents minds. She had refused to eat the food yet again. She distanced herself from the world. It was worrisome for everyone.
But for her, it was impossible turned to possible. She closed her eyes but couldn't keep them close for long. She whimpered as she looked at herself in the mirror. Neither could she close her eyes nor could she look at her own image. She pulled her hair in frustration as those moments played in her head.
Hey? Are you there?
She tried to reach out to her wolf . But all she got was silence like nobody was ever there. A sharp pain hit her back as she faced the consequences of the events happened some days ago. A scream erupted from her lips causing her parents to shift their attention towards her as they heard her faint voice. They could hear her faintly.
"I can't do this. I can't." She repeated again and again as she headed towards her top drawer and opened it swiftly. The tension and loneliness in the room made it suffocating. She looked at herself in the mirror for the last time.
Her beautiful green eyes full of life were cold and distant. Her was passive and expressionless and her lips trembled ever so slightly. She spoke , "I'm sorry Mom and Dad. I want to go back to the Moon Goddess." unaware of the fact that they were listening to her. She took out a knife from the drawer and placed it on her throat.
She sat upright and tried to calm her racing heart. Her eyes blurred as they ran along the unknown surroundings. She was on a king sized comfy bed. On one corner of the spacious room there were two doors and there was huge window on the other. The decor was expensive and classy. But the thing which stood out the most was the lingering smell of him. It was enough to bring back all the memories. She looked at the white shirt she was wearing which reached mid thigh as she stood up. It smelled of him and even a donkey could say that it was his. She searched for her clothes frantically in the room but they were nowhere to be found.
Not waiting anymore, she ran out of the room towards the nearest exit she could find. She hurried as the same delicious smell hit her like a fresh breath of air. Only every breath of it made her feel poisoned. At least she thought it did. Before she could leave the house a strong hand caught her wrist and pulled her forcefully.
She was pulled with such force that she bumped into his body. She fought her urge to look at him and just tried to free herself from his strong hold. But to no avail. After a while of trying she was pulling her hand with as much force as she could but it didn't effect him even a tad bit.
"Leave me alone, you bastard." She shouted in annoyance earning a growl from him. She dig her nails in his hand drawing blood out. He didn't even wince. Instead he hauled her over his shoulder and threw her on his bed once he reached his room. She screeched in anger and immediately ran towards the door. A blur passed in front of her and caught her from behind not letting her touch the door. She was mad in anger. She kicked, screamed, clawed at his hands but nothing could loosen his hold on her. She tried hard to forget the tingles on her skin where he was touching but it was difficult.
She growled as she tried to change to her wolf form but he held his neck tightly. Uncomfortably tight. After a while, she stopped protesting as exhaustion took over her body.
He pinned her to the nearest wall and whispered, " You cannot escape me, Celestine Miracle."
Her forest green eyes widened as a shiver went straight down to her core.
The 5"2' green eyed beauty with dark chocolate cursed under her breath as her mate now smirked victoriously at her. She pushed him with all her might. His smirk stayed intact as her push did nothing to move him from the spot.
"Move or I'll kill you." She shouted getting irritated.
He took a few steps back as his eyes showed amusement.
"What is your name? And where am I? Who are you?"
"Lucian Villin".
Her heart beat intensified more than it has ever had as she heard that name. Fear seeped through her veins as she started breathing fast.
"Lucian. Alpha of Lycans." She whispered disbelief clear in her eyes. Now that she was calm she could feel the strong, powerful aura radiating off him. Even she had trouble holding her head up as she was a mediocre wolf. Now his strength, speed and sense of smell made sense.
"I have nothing to do with you. Let me go." She shouted.
"You have everything to do here, you weakling. You will stay here from now on."
"No way. I won't stay here for even a minute." She opened the door this time when he pulled her forcefully by her wrist.
"You won't. Do you understand?" Her entire body was red with rage as her canines had started growing. The next thing she did made the time stop for both of them. Fear could be seen in her eyes as he held her in mid air, a good 2 feet above the ground. His hands half strangling her. He grabbed the shirt she was wearing and pulled it up forcefully to wipe her spit of his face.
She spit on him.
The shirt went above her abdomen as her bare thighs and her panty clad lady parts were in clear view. She unconsciously tightened her legs as several emotions ran through her captivating forest green eyes which had specs of grey in them. Fear, embarrassment, arousal, anger.
"Celestine you are going to regret this." His Lycan had surfaced now.
She clenched her legs as her name rolled off his tongue deliciously. But tears were flowing down her eyes as she realized her mistake. His eyes constantly changed colors between blue, red and golden. They looked at her with such intensity and anger that if looks could burn she would have completely turned into ash in seconds. He dropped her on the floor.
"Please."
He dragged her by her hand outside the door towards a dark hallway, her cries echoing loudly. He growled out loudly as his claws came out and cut her skin. They reached a dark place where some cells were jointed with each other separated by thick rods. The floor was dry and sticky and smelled of dry blood. Her heart was beating in fear as he dragged her to cell and opened it. His Lycan was the one in control as he growled angrily and his eyes had turned red. She clung to his leg and her eyes turned a dark green.
Her wolf took the advantage of her sudden occurrence to gain control. Tears came formed in her dark green eyes as they met his red angry ones. Her form visibly shivered as he looked intensely into the depth of her eyes. Not able to hold the eye contact longer, she lowered her eyes. His eyes had turned to a shining golden.
"Do not dare to do something like this again. I'll forgive you this time." His voice boomed in the silent room. They had both gained control over their wolves after that moment. Lucien eyes filled with disgust as he kicked his clinging mate and she fell with a thud on the floor a few meters away.
"How dare you! I don't want to look at your face." She shouted getting up from the floor and heading towards the rooms.

Celestine woke up startled like every other day since the last six years. She saw the torn sheets and rested her head against her hand. This was the tenth one in two weeks. She finished her morning routine and waited in her room watching Netflix. She had been doing this everyday. Waking up, waiting for him to go in the morning but most days he didn't return at night. She watched Netflix the entire day and whenever she smelt him anywhere near she ran somewhere into his big personal house.
The clock struck nine as silence filled the house. She could hear nothing. She was tired of not doing anything and being jailed in the house with a person she never wanted to see. She wanted to get away from him and all of this as soon as possible. The wheels in her brain turned as ideas upon ideas came swimming in her mind. After a lot of thought she decided to run away that night in the darkness before her mate returns.
She sighed after closing the zip of her small bag where she had packed a change of clothes and some necessities. She hoped that no one would catch as she would escape from the south forests. She stripped her clothes and moaned in pain as she shifted to her wolf after years. Her bones took awkward position and fur grew in his entire body and her claws extended. She had changed into her beautiful black wolf and could easily hide anywhere in the forest. After checking the straps of her bag she started running at top speed. She was halfway in the jungle as an animalistic growl was heard in the forest. It took her no time to understand that the owner of the growl was her mate, Lucian.
Her body was ready and her eyes accessed the surroundings for fighting. She could hear the crunches of the dry leaves as his paws stepped up in the front. She backed off in fear as his smell and the sound of his paws was near. She ran but it didn't take him time to overcome her.
He pushed her to the ground and pinned her under him changing to his human form.
"You think you are smart. When did you become so courageous?" He glared at her.
He forced her to change into her naked human form. His eyes darkened as he looked at her smooth and beautiful bare form. Her hands rose up to hide her breasts and she crossed her legs tightly as her skin burned in a delicious way. Something she would never accept.
She lowered her eyes as the air around them heated. He let her change her clothes as he put on his clothes. The anger blazing in his eyes was enough to burn anything. He hauled her over his shoulder after she finished changing and spanked her hard as he made his way towards his expensive jail house.
