Alex knew he had to share his dream with Bagdana and there was no use keeping it as this time, it was too real and particular to be a mere dream. They had gotten quite used to each other now. They had shared ideas and secrets and were more like brothers. Except he had been in existence since eons. As he walked into the room, he looked agitated.
"I have something to tell you, something we need to act fast on. You must help me. Especially in finding that book before Sathanas does." He took hold of Bagdana by the collar of his coat, gripping it in his fists and pulling his face close to his. "Promise me, promise me one thing. That you..." He paused and stared into his face. "I must know where the book is. This time you have to follow me. I mean, only you know where exactly you lost it, right?"
"Your Highness, you should know one thing about me now. Have I ever kept anything from you?"
Bagdana pulled Alex's hands from his collar and walke
His mind was filled with uncertainty and very heavy by the time he would enter the room. His hair was rumpled and his face looking down. He knew his subjects seeing him like this wouldn't be appropriate and maybe taking a bath would lift his spirit."You don't look all right. Is everything okay?" He heard someone whisper behind him and his body quivered at the sound of her voice."I'm good." He quickly turned his back but then he felt her arms wrapped around his waist, embracing him tightly.Why does everything about him have to go downhill? Why is he never able to hold fast to people he so much cares about? Soon enough, Selena would leave him and that would be his fault. That would be on his head."You don't look too good." She pressed her cheek against his back."I guess
She didn't care about barriers or worries or uncertainties. She was in this man's arms. A man she loves and who loves her back. What more could she ask for? A snow house in hell? Alex was finding his way through with her underwear and she decided to help out. But he wasn't having any of it. He must feel the same way she does to be this desperate. Funny how she loved it.He tore open her dress, his eyes dark with desire and hunger. She let the dress fall on the floor and she stepped out of it, leaving her with just a lacy bra and panties. He sucked in his breath after taking a good look at her but enough with the staring. She needed him to touch her.Grabbing him by the collar, she pulled him close and kisses him again. Locking lips with him and slipping her hands under his shirt, feeling his hard but smooth skin and loving the way they shivered at her touch. So warm and safe. Soon, she was tired of stealing touches and so did justice to his
The bright light from the outside seeped in and shone on the two perfect couples in each other's arms. Content and looking happy. Selena looked up at her man and she couldn't contain her joy."I felt lightheaded when you bit me." She confessed. "I wouldn't lie, it hurts a lot."Alex frowned. "I'm still wondering why I bit you twice.""Probably because you were lost in the sex." She mused, her head on his chest which swelled gently as he breathed."That's weird. Teacher Gauntlet didn't mention that to us."She burst out laughing. "Oh, you remember our one-eyed mate education home teacher? He was one hell of a person.""Yeah." He laughed too, probably reminiscing the memories of how they would all sit in the royal study room and he would stand in front with his wobbled boots, crumpled shirts, and a patched eye, teaching them what it is to mate as wolverines.
Unmounting the white stallion that he and Selena had climbed, Alex helped her down and walked over the field where he could see some people training from the scratch. How many soldiers were lost? Why are there many new faces?He looked up and saw Rebal who seemed shocked to see him there. She was wearing her training kits and she ran up to him."Your Highness. Her Grace." She bowed waist length. "What have you come here to do?" He could see her gaze falling on Selena's face."I understand Forester was attacked, some nights ago." Alex started, suppressing the anger he was feeling inside.Immediately, Rebal's face fell and she placed a folded knuckle on the ground, bending on one knee and dropping her head before him."I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I didn't mean to keep such from you...""I ordered her to keep it from you until it was right." Selena cut in and he frowned."Was this to...""Yes. It was to get back at you for keeping things away from me. But then I had a second thought that th
Selena sucked in her breath sharply and looked to her side, realizing she is still holding her clothes. She dropped the fabric and stepped away a few inches."That isn't true." Cher began."Well, then explain the mark. You not wanting to shift because we would recognize your Wolf instantly. You claimed you were just an innocent girl with memory lapses but you can fight a thousand soldiers in training without a fall. Impressive." Selena chattered icily.Her eyes widened. "This is preposterous. First, me not shifting is a choice made myself. Secondly, me being able to fight is just...it's.. ""I know all about your schemes, Cher! I know women like you who play these kinds of games to penetrate the Kingdom and spy on us." She interrupted. "I've always known there was something off about you ever since you stepped into this palace. Alex felt sorry for you and brought you in when in truth, you were looking to destroy us all."Alex walked up to them gallantly, pulling at Selena's arm. She l
"Your Highness, we need to talk!" Bagdana crossed Alex as he made to enter the palace. His face looked worrisome."What is it about?"He asked but realized Bagdana was keeping quiet because of his men still standing behind. He waved at them to dismiss and they all went back to their posts."Shoot.""There is every tendency that Sathanas is looking for the book first."Alex climbed the steps and pulled the other man by the shoulder to the empty guest room, closing the door behind him."What do you mean?""What I'm saying is this. Sathanas needs to destroy the Orb to avoid or prevent any obstruction such as you, me or Lilith. But before he can do this, he has to know the element of the Orb, and trust me when I say that everything is in that book." Bagdana explained to him.If the book contained such vital information, he would have taken good care of it and ensured it never leaves his sight. Unfortunately, he seems to have forgotten its worth and he could the same. Forget about the darn
Krepe snapped his eyes open, for the fifth time according to Asmodeus' instruction. He was laying on an iron table with a narrow tunnel like hole where hot smoke was emerging from. It was burning his back and he looked like one who just got out of a bath. He was soaked in sweat from head to toe and he was wearing nothing but a small towel wrapped around his waist. His eyes were as red as blood and he kept gritting his teeth in the small room where Asmodeus kept chanting some words.Asmodeus was wearing a long black cloak with black gloves, her hair packed in a black hat. Her face was covered in black makeup. Black eyeliner, black lip gloss, and she even dyed her hair."Skorios! Beasta nami'an seriosa kelith a krahgh. Tellimenta kathri grugriensos guthrie sos manio pellebrato, alolan akolab bingisosa. Oh ye spirit of power. Oh ye spirit of might. Oh ye spirit of strength. Behold your host and make it your abode. Take him in as your own and forsake him not. Thou doth hold a lot captive.
Selena unmounted her horse and walked towards the palace with a heavy heart full of rage and pain. She knew in her heart now that she had been deceiving herself. If she was to think of it, Alex has never really confessed that he loves her. He has never professed his love with passion for her. Maybe she should have been worried about that and not gone about seeking his validation.Is that all everything she has done had been about? To seek his approval? She hoped not. And she didn't think so. Deep within her, she knows she cannot get mad at him for long.As she climbed the steps and went on to the huge building supported by pillars, she heard hushed voices just by the left. Who are those in the guest room? Could it be her Father? Why will he be there? Not like he is coming to spend some days with them. She walked up to the door after dismissing her maids."You may all go." She told them and they all dispersed. Opening the
