Juliana’s pov:
It has been some weeks now and I haven’t spoken with Aria. I am bonding well with Ryan, just the mention of his name makes me shy. He is so sweet that I couldn’t help falling for him though I am still scared of the past.
The past still affects me, it is a thorn in my flesh. It stops me from doing something that I wanted to do, I know that I feel something deep for Ryan, and I can’t keep denying it.
There is this tension in the air whenever we are together, this sexual tension. I crave him so much but I am still scared of letting him touch me. We are good but my problem is his mother, Bianca, and Liam, it is damn obvious that none of them wants me for Ryan.
I sighed and moved toward the small box where the liquid content was. I haven’t taken it for a while and I know that it isn’t a good thing. To survive here I need to keep to the old witch prescription.
Taking it out of the small wooden box I felt my door slam at the wall forcefully. I know that I wasn’t expecting anyone and Aria and I are not on talking terms, so who could this be? I snapped my head to the door, standing there was no other but Bianca.
“One of the demons, interesting,” I mentally muttered.
Standing up quickly with the bottle content shoved behind me, I bowed submissively before muttering “Good day, miss……”
I gulped nervously as I watched her eyelid twitch disgustedly, glancing around my room with an irritated gaze. She smiled slightly before diverting her cold gaze on me, I staggered under her fierce stare.
“So is you,” she seemed irritated.
“Huh!”
“So you are the small maggot that has been sneaking around Ryan,” she accused.
“Sorry but I don’t know what you are saying,”
“How could you know, when you are busy roaming around the castle like a lost wolf?”
“Ooh!…” Half covering her lips with a taunting smirk, she expressed.
“I forgot that you are wolfless,”
I swallowed at her words, I can’t allow her words to affect me. If not for this damn power I could still have Heaven beside me who couldn’t think twice about snapping out her head.
“Do you ever look at yourself in the mirror?” She latched.
“To see that you are a wolfless slave that has no place in the higher rank,”
“Have you ever looked around you…….. The fact that you are surrounded by Lycans who could slash your head in a minute,” I shuddered at her words. Her threat causes an overwhelming fear to cloud my sense of reasoning.
“Do you have an idea that I could kill you within a minute?” She threatened with her canine in total display.
I suddenly backed away from her, she seemed scarily and brutal. She can never be the queen, Luna title can never fit her because she is too vicious and commanding for my liking.
“You think that Ryan will always stay beside you as a bodyguard or personal servant,” she mocked with her laugh echoing throughout the whole quiet room.
Walking around with her palms in between each other, she kept smirking when glancing at my room and then at me. Halting her step in front of me, her eyes glinted mischievously as she growled narrowly.
“You think that you could take what truly belongs to me…….. I am here for a warning, the next time that I will visit again, trust me when I said that I will crush your bones,” she threatens kicking fear within me.
“I swear I will destroy you the next time I visit!!” She thundered with a blank expression, her eyes twitching malevolently.
“Huh,” she smirked after scanning my face, she got the reaction that she wanted. Turning around to leave I mumbled a sign of the cross but my hope flashes away as she ceases on her spot.
My heart accelerated as I noticed her approaching me again but to my utmost surprise, she surpassed me and continued walking behind me. My confusion widened as I pondered on what exactly she might be looking for. I still have the content in my palms. With hands on her back, she stops behind me.
Glazing her hands on the same place that I was holding the content, I shivered in fear before tightening my palms. She proceeded with what she was doing till she forcefully wanted to pull my hands open. I gulped nervously and pleaded for her to let go but she declined.
“Don’t you dare!!”
“Come on, open your hands!!” She commands but I knew better not to open it.
“Stand in that particular spot, don’t move,”
“What…….. What are you doing?” I am shivering, beads of sweat have formed on my forehead and are now ascending down my face like running water.
However, after every damn struggle, she pulls the content out of my hold.
“What’s this?” Turning it around, she asked with confusion.
“Is an ointment,” I bite down my lips.
“For……..” Her brow brushes up.
“For body,” the word quickly slipped out of my lips without my concept earning a wicked smirk from her.
“So you rub this thing on your body to seduce the king?”
“No! Please is not that….”
Wiggling the content on her palms with a very dangerous smirk, my eyes moved up and down following the rotation of the content on her palms.
“Please…….
” So sad!!” She smiled.
“Don’t do this…….
I didn’t get to finish before she intentionally dropped the content out of her hold, rushing to catch it before it made it to the floor. She uses her left leg to toss it to the other side. I fall on the floor and with terror and a slow gaze, I watched it fall and pieces on the floor. It falls smashing on the cold floor.
“Oops!!” She mumbled.
My fist clenched in ball form as I glared at her, she just wasted the content. How can I stay here without that liquid? My heart tightened in pain, I was still in a daze because everything was clouding in my head like a dream.
“Serves you right, next time don’t dare me…… this is little to the one I will deal with you next,” her threat teared up my eyes.
I watched with teary eyes as she walked out of the room slamming the door on her way out. My heart breaks and that’s when what happened flooded my mind, my blood started fuming in anger so I did the only thing by rushing to the spilled spot and licked some little droplets from the content that hadn’t dried off.
