Taming The Beast In Him
The curse

Roseline POV

I was silent, I couldn't bring myself to say a word, his words took me aback, what made him agree to her so easily?

I stared at him, then I saw how he nodded at Rosa, Almost telling her that she can leave, I gulped hard while waiting for the worse.

He then came to sit next to me, before he reach out his hand and held my hand so tightly, his gaze was full of emotions.

"I know how you are feeling at the moment and the pain you are experiencing. I have never seen you this desperate before..." He trailed.

"We went to the best doctors in the world, but there was nothing they could do, if this is the solution that we needed, then I'm ready to take a shot," he said to me.

I found myself glistening with tears, I wonder how I was lucky to get someone this perfect, I then went close to him then I engulf him in a tight hug.

"I love you, Jeff, thank you for standing by me" I cried. He patted me while trailing his hands on my hair, he was so affectionate towards me. We stayed in that position before I doze off.

After three days of preparing to leave for the great Witch, the day finally arrived.

I was feeling anxious, but Jeff has always been with me all through, he gave me that reassuring smile, almost like everything was going to be alright.

We then entered the car, and before we droved to the airport, we both intertwined hands as a sign of possessiveness.

Despite sixteen years of being together, our love for each never changed, I can still feel the connection and I can still see the mark I embedded on him. I smiled at him while thinking of what we have experienced together, it gave me the hope that everything would be alright.

After some time, we managed to reach a small country in New Zealand, where Rosa had informed us of the presence of the Great witch.

We have to board a cab down to the place where Rosa had directed us.

It was quite a journey, it took us hours on the driveway, I'll frequently fall asleep, but he has always been here close to me and his presence alone is very comforting.

After hours of driving, the driver told us that we have reached our destination, and I begrudgingly opened my eyes. Then I noticed a forest was dark and eerie, we managed to slip out of the car, my heart almost leaped against my rib cage, when I heard a loud growl, I was scared, I almost regretted coming here in the first place.

"I think we need to go back, it was never a good idea to have come here in the first place," I told Jeff.

He smiled at me before he erupted in hysterical laughter, I scoffed at his actions.

After a few seconds, he stopped laughing and stared at me.

"Did you know you look adorable, especially when you pout your lips?" he said seriously. His words were sweet, I found myself closing my eyes while imagining naughty things, that is mostly done under the covers, those thoughts alone made me damp with need.

I then heard a loud growl coming from him, as he sniffled the air, "your scent of arousal is intoxicating" he commented.

My cheeks turned to a deep shade of red.

Before he could hold my hand, I started walking towards the deepest part of the forest, I turned to notice that the cab has already turned and left, and I let out a sigh.

I wonder where we are going to replace the great witch In this forest, then I remembered Rosa's words.

Call out her name

"Called out her name," I told Jeff, he looked at me quizzically before he nodded.

"Ariana..." We both called out.

That's when we heard the sound of a whirlwind, the leaves shook, after some seconds the place was calm, then we saw a woman.

She was so young, she looked her she might be in her mid-twenties, her dark hair managed to cascade down her back, she had hazel green eyes, with long lush lashes, and she had pointy ears, more like that of an elf. Her rosy red lips, curved to a smile, and her pointed nose flared. She has silky and soft white skin, it was flawless and beautiful, she was wearing a green gown, that match up with her hazel green eyes. Fuck she is an epitome of beauty.

I felt intimidated because she might take away Jeff and I don't want that.

"I know I'm beautiful, you don't need to look at me for hours, so are you going to come in or continue standing there," she said. I never knew I was that obvious, I immediately nodded but I was confused because I didn't see any building or a door.

"Come in," she said, we walked further still confused, it was almost like a portal, we then found ourselves in another room.

The room was dark and edgy, there was the evidence of candles beside a well-crafted bed and by the Left laid a bathtub, then by the right of the bed, laid a pile of books by the shelf, I smiled, Because everything was well crafted and yet simple at the same time.

"I was expecting you, And the issue of your desperation for a child, but I didn't know you take this Long to seek my attention," she said.

I immediately Avert my attention to her, when I heard her words.

"So you knew the reason, behind my barrenness?". She just nodded nonchalantly before she came close to me while smoking a pipe.

"It's something that happened in the past, even before both of you were born, the miscarriage, the pain you both went through, it was meant to happen, because..." She pursed while looking at me deeply In the eyes, but there was that smirk that didn't fail my notice.

"Because what?" I asked curiously.

"The curse".
