A Different World by Hayley Smith (android based ebook reader TXT) 📖

I raised a eyebrow, slowly walking in with Tripp right behind me, his nosing touching my hip so I knew he was with me. "Have a seat," she said and I sat with Tripp sitting by my side, he only laid down where he thought we were safe, obviously he didn't think we were.

"Why am I here?" I asked instantly, my eyebrows narrowed as her sons came in and one sat beside her, one beside me and I inched away from him.

"Getting straight to the point, I like that," Niall said, grinning at Liam and I glared at him before turning my attention back to the queen.

"Well, straight to the point is good," Lyssa said in her high, steely voice and suddenly, I was scared of what was coming next "You are to marry one of my boys,"
No! Comprendre?

 

They Just Don't Give Up

's POV

"Jamais!" I spat at her in french, not even knowing I knew french and jumped to my feet, flinging open the door before anyone could stop me, Tripp hot on my heels as I dashed towards the forest, my feet flying towards my only home. I clutched the straps to my baggage tight as I ran, the trees getting closer until I disappeared into the trees, not leaving a single trace behind.
Tripp was growling as we ran, sometimes I think he can actually understand words, but usually I push it away. I ran towards my tallest tree by the lake, seeing it, I head footsteps and I ran faster, Tripp dove under the roots, hiding below where nobody could see him while I climbed high into the thick foliage of the tree, stopping at my favorite limb to sit on and I held my baggage tight to myself, willing no leaves to fall and none did as the footsteps came closer, obviously not female from the pounding, and more than three.

"Find her. NOW!" A gruff voice said and everyone split apart.
Oh my trees, please bear with me, we will get by this treacherous day, hold on, keep still, avoid the wind my darlings,

I thought as I heard a branch being snapped and I hugged the trunk of my giant tree tight in case I fell from the fierce wind, butt the tree didn't sway a inch.
Send them away, my waters, send them back to where they came from,

I thought when I heard splashing, then yelling and nothing else. Do not kill, we are not monsters,

and suddenly there was splashing again and a couple people came out of the water.
Animals of the fair forest, drive them away from here, we do not approve of their kind here, drive them away back to there master,

I thought softly and I heard a raccoon's call, more than one, as all sorts of creatures of the forest ran after them and once they were gone, I jumped down from the tree, swinging from a low branch to the ground.

"Tripp," I whispered and he pulled himself out from under the roots, "I don't know what's happening to me," he gave me a doggy grin and I couldn't help but smile as he licked my hand and we began walking towards home. When we reached the house, we found that all of the windows had been broken and the door left ajar. I gasped and rushed over, seeing a mess and tears dribbled out of my eyes, forcing there way out as I tried to hold them back. I carefully retrieved the broom from the closet and began sweeping my forever home.
***
When I had completed sweeping the entire house, I piled all of the glass and shreds outside and I went back in, putting the broom away neatly and I found the sewing kit and I began neatly sewing the ripped couches back together, putting the stuffing back in and I smiled as I finished the first and went on to the second. As I was finishing the first gash, a figure appeared in the still broken door and I didn't even look up.

"You're coming with us. Now." the same gruff voice said and I smiled, holding a needle without string in my hand and I shook my head, turning around.

"You destroyed my home. Now you must pay," I murmured, throwing the needle at him and it hit him in the stomach, stick halfway out, "Leave," I commanded and he fled, his hand clutching his stomach where droplets of blood had begun to seep out.
"I'm a monster, Tripp," I mumbled and he looked up from where he was, pulling rugs into place with his jaws and he shook his head, making me crack a small, yet genuine, smile, "Thank you," I mumbled before starting to sew again. I sighed once I had finished and stood, putting away the sewing kit and moved on to the kitchen, picking up the tipped over fridge and forcing it into place, breathing heavily when I was finished and I slowly began washing the dirty, stepped on silverware. I finished it fairly quickly and placed them back in there spots before walking over to the couch and sitting on the edge.

"Tripp, I don't know what to do anymore, Momma's gone and that witch of a queen thinks I'll just go with her, I don't like this one bit, I hate those people," I whispered and he padded up behind me, jumping up on the couch after wiping his paws on a mat and rested his head on my thighs. I brushed my hands through his fur before I realized a noise and suddenly, my stomach hurt and I gave a small laugh as my stomach growled.
"Pie time, buddy," I said and stood, walking to where I had placed the mango pie in the fridge, it was a little shaken up but it looked yummy.
I pulled it out and cut some out into Tripp's dog bowl and brought it out to him, cutting some for myself. We ate in silence before I cleaned the dishes and put them away. I walked back out to the living room and sat down again, hearing a clang I looked up, seeing someone holding a gun. I was about to duck but the gun clicked to soon, sending something speeding my way into my arm and I was out cold, Tripp laying beside me in the same situation.

Kidnapping

I Have No Idea What's Happening

Juliet

's POV

I opened my eyes as I felt my body rocking. They had kidnapped me. I thought that was illegal.
Looking around, I saw I was in a small room of the carriage, and in a giant basket, Tripp was laying there. I sat up, rubbing my arm where a bandage was wrapped around and I frowned, they had used a tranquilizer dart on us, and now it had gave me a headache. I swung my legs off a small bed and stood straight, stretching my arms and I saw I was still in my pink dress and I sighed, happy they had left my clothes alone, and my baggage was on the floor.
I walked over to Tripp, wobbling slightly as I reached down and pet him, shaking him gently and he slowly woke up, growling until he opened his eyes and saw me, he jumped up and tackled me to the carpeted ground, he began to lick my face and I pushed him away, laughing and I hugged him tight.

"I'm so happy your awake, buddy," I said, squeezing him tight until I heard the door open and Tripp yanked away, snarling at the person as I pushed myself into a corner, searching for something to throw at them.

"Nice to see you're awake, sorry bout the whole kidnap the girl thing, my mom's idea," Prince Niall said as I gripped a dog bone from Tripp's bag while the prince sat in a chair in the small room.

"You're not sorry," I snarled at him, chucking the bone at his head but he grabbed it from the air, tossing it to the ground as Tripp backed away, blocking a path towards me as he snarled at him.

"I am, just not so much my mother or brother," Niall said sounding truthful and I sighed, there was no way I was going to get out of this.

"Okay, but that doesn't mean I completely believe you," I said, glaring at him still "When do we get off this thing?"

"A couple of days, don't worry, we have enough food for everyone," Niall said and I nodded "I'm going to go tell them you're awake," and he stood and left.
I sighed, standing and climbing onto the bed, sitting in the corner with a large comforter and bunches of pillows around me. Tripp climbed up after me, laying curled up against me as he started to fall back asleep, obviously still tired from the effects of the tranquilizer. As Tripp began to snore, the door flew open, banging loudly against the door as Prince Liam walked in, standing tall in front of me.

"Need anything?" I asked softly, running my fingers through Tripp's fur as he slowly woke up, his snores seizing as he lifted his head, snarling at Liam.

"My mother wishes to inform you of some things," He muttered before leaving and I stood, my hair was in a tangled mess, but I grabbed a stretchy band from my bag and pulled it into a messy braid, draping it over my shoulder as I walked out of the room, Trip following behind as he looked everywhere. We reached the entrance where there was seats along the walls and the Queen sitting on one. I sat across from her, my arms crossed and Tripp sitting right by my feet, still not thinking it was safe here.

"Welcome, Juliet, I have something to tell you," Queen Lyssa said and I glared at her.

"Don't we all," I muttered, I knew she had heard because she flinched slightly but she quickly appeared as if she hadn't.

"From the beginning of time, we have ruled the Earth, each women giving children to their soul-mates, always a wolf at the top of the chain, and a heaven and a hell, a devil leads hell, a angel leads heaven, and now the heaven leader returned, your mother, and your father, the devil, returned nine years ago when your mother kicked him out," I nodded as she spoke, only believing because my mother had told me to
