His sword drips with blood, splatters of it on the palace floor. The messenger holding the sword is silent, his eyes turned downward. I can hear sobbing behind me, but I do not comprehend it.
"Dead?"
"Dead." A sob catches within my throat. No, it cannot be true.
The servant lifts his eyes to view me. His face transforms, the eyes turning to a demonic obsidian. "Oh, but it is true, lovely... And there's no one to prevent your being mine..." His brilliant white teeth make his smile all the more evil. He steps toward me and touches his hand to my cheek. "I told you it would happen this way." Pushing him away, I spot a body, bloodied and bruised. I try to whisper his name but I cannot. I try to tear myself away but am unable to.
It is him. And I did nothing to prevent it.
Omens of our demise. Dreams that haunt and the fading light of candles for the dead and dying. Is this where fairytales start? Or where they end?

His kisses brought me to the edge of sanity, and I couldn't take it anymore.

He kissed his way down to my neck, and sunk his teeth in. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you have enjoyed the book so far, please help me by sharing it to your fellow wattpadders, It would mean the world to me, and updates would be faster ^.^ Happy Reading!!! *Note- The chapters in this book are short and sweet, most of the time, but there like that on purpose...

His Secrets And Lies (Bwwm)
The banging starts again but this time a lot louder. I can hear the girls screaming up stairs. I pick up my phone and dial 911. "Hello this is 911 what's your emergency?" "There are a bunch of wolves outside my house. I think they have rabies or something I'm not sure." The banging gets louder and I can feel my face getting wet from the tears. "Mamm did you say wolves are there?" "Yes Yes there are wolves about 10 of them out here in my front yard. I need help!" I hang up the phone and sit on the end of the stair case. I close my eyes and start praying. Something I haven't done in a while. "I have faith, there is a god. I have faith, there is a god, I have faith, there is a god." I repeat over and over. The glass breaks and I start screaming. I stand up and try to scramble up the stairs. The door comes falling down and there are about 10 wolves standing in front of my door. A woman emerges and walks toward me. She snaps her fingers and the pretty brown wolf is in front of me. Right there by my face. "Ridanna you know what to do." Her teeth is wrapped around my neck and she sinks them in. I try to scream but it's hard to. At first it hurts but now the pain no longer exists.

" I have not moved on and I will not let you move on too. You are mine and I shall get you again." with his every word his lips touch my ear and then he looks into my eyes before crashing his lips into mine.
