Chapter 5:
Mrs Craig ✓
” Do you think he might be referring to our daughter? ” I asked my husband.
” And why would you think like that? ” He asked back.
” Because Diana is the only one who has a puppy. ” I replied.
” Had. ” He corrected. ” And besides, Micky is gone for a long time. So, it’s definitely not our daughter. ”
” I think so, but I don’t know why I still feel like it’s her he’s talking about. ” I said, feeling worried and scared.
” That’s because you’re overthinking about it. Who knows if they are actually lying in order to take one of us? Those creatures are the least thing you’ll ever want to believe. Don’t bother yourself about them, okay? ”
I nodded, even though it still wasn’t convincing at all.
Diana has a blond her, and she’s the only one with a puppy.
Not that there’s no other girls with a pet, nor a dog, I’m just trying to explain that Diana’s puppy is still little compared to the others.
I don’t know why they were here last night, but whatever reason they’ve got, it’s really not safe for the Acandians.
We have only tonight to provide the girl. What if it was Diana he was referring to, what are we going to do?
Call Kelvin, informing him that some kinda human-animal wants our daughter? What do you think he’s gonna say?
Are you crazy? You really want to give out your daughter to some animal? For what?
That’s the p@rt I can’t answer. For what??
It’s two months to Christmas and I’ve always wished desperately for the days to run fas-ter. But seeing as things are going complicated, I’m wishing tonight will be eternity.
I cu-mddled my blanket around my b©dy, thinking of how tommorow will go.
One could notice the fear in the other, it was too obvious in the eyes that we all looked scared since they left.
*
Now I know that not all prayers are being answered. The night pas-sed like the other nights, the entire streets was still dried.
I stared out of the window, like I was some kind of watch knight awaiting to ring their coming to everyone.
There was a young boy, aged eighteen I guess, he was as-signed to notify if they were coming to the village.
I don’t know if anyone else is as scared as I am but, I can feel my heart drumming against my che-st that I could notice my teeth gnashing too.
” Are you okay? ” He asked.
” Yeah, I am. ” I said, cudd-ling myself ti-ghter. ” Good morning. ”
” Good morning. Come on, I made you breakfast. ”
I nodded.
While we ate, we were eating silently. It’s half past nine o’clock and yet, everywhere is as dried as twelve midnight.
We were alarmed as the young boy shouted aloud, ” They are coming! The wolves are coming!! They are getting closer!!! ”
We dropped our food, looking at each other with fright written on our face.
We left our homes, leaving to the field. We always do that each time the wolves were coming, it was p@rt of the rules they had given us.
They conclude in a p@rticular decision and next time it’s changed. A new one is made and we’re left to follow them or we’ll face the consequences.
We’re humans and they’re animals. Animals are meant to be submissive to humans and we are to have dominion over them.
But this ones are different, this is the opposite…
They have dominion power over us, and we are the submissive creatures. We all gathered before they could make it to the village.
As usual, we all bowed in unison the moment they all halted. ” Is the girl here? ” Was the first thing he asked.
No one could look at his neighbor, no one dares to do that. We were forbidden to misbehave in front of the alpha wolf, and it also has it’s punishment.
Lot of rules were made and we have no other choice but to follow them.
” Do I have to repeat myself again?! ” He stormed, ” Where is the girl?! ” He repeated.
” We can’t find here, Sire because we don’t know who she is. ” Said a man. He was shivering but when he tried to talk further, one of the wolves had his throat sliced.
He held his n£¢k, shocking for air. He was bleeding profusely and we were all left in awe and more fear grew in us.
He scoffs, ” Seems like I’ll just have to kill the rest of you. So, I’m gonna ask for the last time, where is the girl? ” He asked again.
Marco held my hand as he noticed the way I was trembling in fear. I wasn’t putting on something too heavy, but I was sweating profusely.
I can feel my sweat, rolling from my face down to my abd0m£n. Nothing, not even his grip seems to be helping matters.
I shut my eyes close, and when I opened it, I saw him staring at me. Trying to compose myself was all in vain as he was directly looking at me.
” Marco, he’s looking at me. ” I whispered in a way only Marco could hear.
” Calm down, you’re too nervous and he’s noticed it.” He whispered. ” Don’t let him suspect you. ”
” What if he alre-ady has? ”
” Just calm down. Take a de-ep breath. ”
I took a de-ep breath, exhaling heavily.
But do you think that’s enough to convince him? He alre-ady caught me, who am I fooling around?
He rode his horse towards our direction, halting in front of me. ” You’re nervous, why? ” He asked.
I never knew an alpha would sound so good like this. We have believed alpha wolfs were this rude, hungry-tasted and scary annoying creatures.
But guess I’m a bit wrong about that. ” No,” I replied, ” I’m not. ”
” Do you know anything about the girl I’m talking about? ”
” I… ”
He interrupted, ” Don’t think about lying to me, I know when you lie and when you tell the truth. ”
I notice Marco hold me ti-ght, I couldn’t st©p staring into his eyes. If I have to lie, I just couldn’t. Staring in his eyes was like staring into the mirror of truth.
” She’s not here. ” I managed to say, at least I aren’t lying.
” Where is she? ” He asked again.
I didn’t talk. ” Where is she? ” He repeated.
” Sh.. she’s… at.. ” I took a de-ep breath, ” She’s at America with her uncle. ”
” What p@rt of America is she? ”
” New York City. That’s where she’s staying. ” I started crying. I should be protecting my daughter, but I was seeing myself betraying her.
” Good. ” He sm-irked for a while. ” But, if I ever find out that you are lying to me, I will come back for you and every single soul here. ” He wore an evil sm-irk on his face, exiting the village with the rest of his packs.

Is Mrs Craig to be blamed for her actions?
?? THE GIRL HE MARKED ??
??{ His Human Mate }??
Chapter 6:
” Micheal, can I ask you for a favor? ” He asked.
” Yes, sure. Anything. ”
” I nee-d you to go to New York City and find the girl for me. When you find her, give me a call and don’t st©p keeping an eye on her. ” He requested.
” Did you have her name? ” He asked, ” You know it will be a lot difficult to search for her without her name. ”
” Diana… Her name is Diana Craig. ”
Michael stared surprised, hoe did he get to know her name? He remembered him not asking the human about her daughter’s name.
” How did you get to know her name? ”
He shrugged, ” I had no choice. ”
” You re-ad her mind? ” He guessed.
” It wasn’t necessary asking, so I had to. ”

Diana ✓
” Oh no, I’m fv¢king late for work. ” I said, folding the sleeves of my shi-t as I picked my car keys.
” Aunty Diana, where do you think you’re going to? ” I turn to see Queeneth as she stood with her both hands hung on her h!ps.
” Excuse me, what’s that suppose to mean? ”
” I don’t know, dad said you’re going to drive me to school today. ”
” What? ”
” Yes, ”
Can you imagine? I’m fv¢king late to work and I have to wait for a whole hour just for this tiny little thing to have her bath, breakfast and dress up for school.
What have I done to deserve this today?
Queeneth is the craziest thing you’ll ever wish to have as a sister.
She’s only ten and I can’t believe she talks so maturedly.
I stared frustratedly at her while she plugged her ton-gue out at me.
” What the heck are you still standing there for?! Go to the bathroom.. Now!! ” I stormed. ” Why did I ever learn how to drive to a car? ” I gr-unted.
While we drove to her school, she kept on pla-ying subway surf with her tablet.
I was constantly checking the time on my wrist watch, I know I was late for work and it’s all fault of this… I don’t even know what to call her.
We finally got to the school premises, but she kept pla-ying the game, ignoring the fact that we’ve reached to her school.
” Queen? ” I called, trying to get her attention that we were alre-ady in her school. ” Queen? ”
” I know, don’t tell me. ”
” Well, I was about to tell you to get out of my car. ” She eyed me, returning her gaze back to what she was doing. ” Queen?”
” Can’t I pl@yfor a bit? ” She looked out of the window to her school, ” I’m a bit early today. ”
” Well, I’m not. Can you for christ sake get out, I’ve got somewhere important to go. ” She ignored me.
I started the car, about to drive off when she yelled. ” Okay! St©p! St©p the car! ”
” Just as I expected. ”
” I can’t believe you. ” She slammed the door closed.
I sighed, zooming to work. It took my fifteen minutes to drive to work and thanks to God Mrs White isn’t here yet.
Nothing was fun about last night, why do I have to oversleep.
Okay, fine let’s start from the scratch. My name is Diana Craig, I recently graduated from college two years ago. I work in Sparrow’s Boutique, it’s one of the most famous boutique in the State and we’ve got costumers from all over the world.
You might wonder why I’m so much in a hurry, and I’ve got two reasons for that.
First, Mrs White. She’s not the easiest kind of boss you want and she trades her business for no one. And second, I’m her t©p model for her cloth advert who has to be here on time.
” Miss Craig, you’re late. ” Mr Park said as he saw me approaching.
” It’s really a long story Mr Park, I really apologize for that. ” I apologized. ” Where’s Mrs White? ” I asked.
” She has arrive yet. She out to get some new clothes for the ph0toshoot. ”
I sighed in relief.
” Hurry up, we nee-d to do some practices before she returns. ”
I went to the changing room, quic-kly changing to a different dress. One of the clothes I normally take ph0tos with.
It was sleeveless but I had this ban-gle I always wear in order to prevent the mark from being expo-sed.
We took as many ph0tos as we could before Mrs White arrived.
” Miss Craig? ” She called.
” Yes, ma’am. ”
” I’ve got new clothes for you. ”
Everyone keeps wondering why I kept wearing the long sleeves everyday to work.
But the truth is, I’ve got a big secret hidden in one of the sleeves.
