Novels by Natexxes

Tatiana's mother, Solar cooked their favorite dishes and it made the table crammed with every food. She was helpless while looking at her mother putting foodstuff on her plate. While her brother was diligent in devouring the food he scooped."Eat more, Tatiana," her mother urged before sighing. "It was just three days yet you lost weight."Tatiana chuckled. "Worry not, mother. I'm pretty fine."However, Tatiana knows that three days feels like a hella eternity when Erebor trained her until her body collapsed in tiredness. Yet, there's no need to tell her every detail to her mother, making Solar worry for her well-being was the less thing she wants.Furthermore, they devoured the food with relish while talking about some things, avoiding the topic of her fight a while later. Solar understands Tatiana's concern and trouble for the upcoming battle that her daughter has no choice but to fight till last.She also notices the rebellion in her daughter's eyes. The calling of willful emotion

The three days dotted before the battle was over. Tatiana was grateful to the man that crafted her into her best shape and made her harden her heart. Erebor sets her into a firm state, that an ounce of pity shouldn't be spare to those who don't deserve the grace.With a tilt of her glass filled with wine, she stares from nowhere and pondered with her thoughts.Tomorrow will be her first battle for the throne as Alpha Mraz's luna. Even if she's the rightful mate of the dominant Alpha but in his eyes, she was just a vermin that hinders his plan to have a strong mate to stand and rule by his side.To be dumped by her mate like that, Tatiana was hurt at the same time, she's in deep rage for putting her in this kind of predicament she never wishes to taste. Yet, her choice to decline was rubbed by him.Alpha Mraz is the root of her misery and feeling angry for everything justified her madness. She has the right to get mad, to resent him, to loathe him but why

Her muddled train of thought after she arrived at the door made her exhausted body feel even more tired and in this cloud of confusion, she once again sank into darkness.After being asleep for who knows how many hours, she slowly woke up. The sky was already dark from the mists strolling around and the room was extremely quiet. The lights were off, which made her eyes slightly squint.She strained to blink her eyes, trying to see what's inside the room. After some time, her eyes slowly adjusted to the dark, and thanks to the moonlight that squeezed its way in from the window, she saw a figure of a man hungover at the bedside table.It was her brother."C-Croft..." her narrowly raspy voice made Croft jolted awake."You are awake. Tatiana, are you okay now?" he immediately strengthened up and his face was throbbed with concern for Tatiana that has been out for two hours.Af

Tatiana felt almost as confused as she had when she fainted. She saw herself in an unfamiliar place for the first time in the same day."I've long this day to happen. To hear my name from you, I'm happy, Tatiana."She almost leaps out when a voice was heard from behind. Tatiana turns her back for a lookout and saw a tall woman approaching through the dark space. She was obscured by the blinding light that wraps around her. It was as if she was one of the lights that glow at every pace she makes, bound in the boundary of luminous power.Tatiana felt she should kneel and wait for orders like she was facing a great general, ancient mage, or a king equal to the Alpha."Say my name..." her soft voice was like a hymn keen to a piece of dominant music that wants someone to heed.Tatiana felt obliged to do so and something clicked in her mind... a name that was once uttered by her."Aurora...""Yes," Tatiana can imagine that she's smili

To pick the lotus flower in its raw form, Tatiana was out of shape upon doing this. Hence, in her every pace, she was murmuring some swear word.Whenever her sight prowled around the area, she'll shut her eyes close and curse once more.She's been walking inside the unknown wilderness where only the swinging trees were her companion due to the gust of wind howling roughly."I've been strolling here for about an hour yet I still couldn't find the Lotus flower!" she whispered, a bit annoyed by the task that was bestowed upon her, augmented by the tranquility of the forest but she knows that there's chaos stirring beneath the surface."Where can I find it?"Tatiana halted from her steps and plucked the leaves broadened in the branch near her. She touches it before sighing and proceeding to have a stride.Then, a hymn piece of voice infiltrated her hearing to the point that it stunned her and she can no longer move.It was as if calling h

"Sway it like a warrior ready for a war."Tatiana grasped the handle of her dagger and swing it on her flank, one pace backward, and whirled her back to trudge forward, sole throw before putting up with a speed and seized the dagger swiftly within her hands.A boisterous clap shrouded their ground."You've learned well and imbibed the lessons I've taught you. For now, rest for a while and we'll continue this later."Puffing, she nodded regardless.However, a cup of water was positioned in front of her. When she looked up, she was greeted by her brother's dazzling smile.A line arose in her forehead and became apparent. Tatiana nibbled her bottom lip while still panting for a bit. She accepted the cup later on."What are you smiling of?" she implored before gulping the water in one swallow."Nothing. I was just happy that you're coping up adequately. I never thought of this thing to happen yet you handle it so well."Tati

She weakly pushed me away but I gripped her waist tighter, afraid that if I would let go, I won't see her ever again. And I'm deeply terrified at that thought.However, with all her strength, I was shoved away forcefully by her in the end. Now, there was a boundary in our post. Having this few distances away from her makes my eyes sting with tears. A painful tug in my heart gives me a wave of agony. Everything she does was plain torture for me.Yet, the look in her eyes made me shiver. The distress and suffering I felt thrived huger without cease."Stop being weak in front of me!" she scolded in a firm voice. "I told you to be brave and face everything onward without being vulnerable!""Mom... how can I act tough if I'm breaking inside?! How can I face everything bravely if the reason I'm breathing was in front of me... wishing me to run and leave her alone, dying because of me! Mom, how can you be so heartless?!" my voice broke at the same time, my heart shattered bits by bits.I'm

My mother didn't say anything the whole drive. She was quiet and it bothered me so much that my head throbbed in turmoil and confusion. My mother's words hounded me as I also keep the track of traces to find more clues about her statement, hoping to seek an answer to her confusing message with hidden meaning underneath.My brows furrowed while thinking. Not until my mother lightly tapped my head."I know what's running inside your little mind," she chuckled. "Don't pay any attention to it. It will just make your head ache in pondering."Her chuckle gives me a sense of forbidding. It was like a Deja Vu when she locked me up inside my room when everything started and she was gone in a snap. What she did back then left a deep scar in my heart and now, it's slowly bleeding because of what she had said.Feeling cold over, my palms sweated a lot. A dreadful emotion blows me up with a bang that almost makes me wanna jump at her and question her about it. Nevertheless, I halted myself from be

"M-mom..." I whispered and gritted my teeth to stop myself from tearing up. This sudden reunion made my heart tremble in anticipation and at the same time, it scares me about what will happen next."Xiomara..." she uttered my name with longing in her eyes.My hands clenched tightly as I scrutinized her figure. I saw some scars, old and new on her body that made my eyes dim in rage. Her pale lips were quivering and my nails sunken in my palm even deeper upon seeing her situation.I can tell with a single glance that she suffered a lot in their hands. A burst of anger almost suffocated me yet I inhaled deeply and suppress it. This isn't the right time to take action against them because I know for a fact that we can't win against their powerful force.All we need is time to wait. For now, tolerating their existence might be the last card of patience I have for them."She's our hostage now. If you don't come with us, then see how I'll deal with you." The man with a dominating presence sp

A light tap on my cheeks woke me up. I rubbed my eyes lightly after slowly opening them. What greeted my sight was Grande's figure standing in front of me with a serious face."What's with the face?""Belle was gone."I sat up straight after hearing that. My brows furrowed and pursed my lips."That's it?"She frowned. "What do you mean?"Peeling off the dust in my pants, I looked at her. "It was expected.""Wait, what? Can you tell me what does it means?""She's a traitor," Sovine interrupted. "From the start, she was sent to spy on the military grounds. I mean, the Royal clan dispatched every assassin to monitor everyone's move against them.""And you know it all along without giving us some hints?" Herofus gazed at me with disbelief in his eyes."I don't. I was informed by Sovine ahead of you. Remember the bus?"He nodded."She's the one who sabotages it.""But I'm with her almost every hour!""Even a second can create a huge surprise, much less for a skilled assassin like her."Her

All of them were gaping at me, stunned by my statement full of conviction. Yet, when exhaustion took over my body, all I could hear was their calling before I lost consciousness and completely blackened out.Something happened that defies my common sense, well everything was. However, this one was quite huge to take because... my consciousness seeped through me and entered into the void. Chaos started to bound my mind and almost I can imagine the veins thumping in my forehead.I struggled to wake up but I couldn't. As if there was a force binding me not to do anything. As of the moment, my consciousness lay there waiting for something I couldn't put a finger on.After a while, it was still eerily quiet and I can't understand what this possibly mean. The questions in my mind were surging forward like a tide. Yet, none of it was answered to enlighten me.My feelings were stirred. Like the alternate rising and falling of the sea. It was thorough havoc.

I felt depressed and fell into profound thinking. I don't even know if my existence together with the strange power I hold was a blessing or a curse in disguise. It was as if everything was a tricky code that was hard to crack.My head hurts at that thought. All these things that happened in the world were caused by the Royal family of Eleanor was seemingly a bottomless chasm. That to think of a hundred ways to figure this out, nothing will fit to unravel the depths of the void.And if there's a rope of hope led down into the dark abyss that once pulled would rip up the whole truth, the threads of mystery will slowly crack. But if not solved, then I don't know what to think anymore.This discovery seemed out of the world."Xiomara?"I blinked and tidied my dazed eyes before looking at them. Clearing my throat, I softly murmured, "I don't know how to wield my mental strength."Sovine darted his eyes on me. "Try to concentrate and expand your
