HE IS also the one who moved away from that kiss. Both of us were chasing our breaths, our forehead against each other. I laughed heartily as I bit my lower lip while I eyed his.
"I almost believed her when she asked where her father was."
"And I almost smacked that insolent woman when she held your arm for the second time."
He slightly moved away from me, hands unmoved on my waist. His both brows arched while having a small grin on his lips. "I did not think you are the jealous type, my beautiful miss," he said, teasing.
My eyes sharpen, "Do I have something to be jealous of, Mister?"
"None," he quickly said, the grin on his lips widening. "You are really mine now, my lady."
"And how so?" I said while I raised a brow at him, removing both my hands on his nape.
His forehead knotted at what I did and the way he groped my waist tightened thinking that I might run away from him again.
"Are you not?"
"Hmm," seems
I GAZE at the streams of water of the falls. I can hear its sound, as well as the chirping of the birds nearby. I smiled as I touched my lip at the memory of him claiming my lip in this very place.Seems like I can never really force myself not to feel anything for him at this moment. I was almost drowning to this happiness whenever I saw him and got to be with him. Even at this second, he is all I can think about. The wind is like putting me to sleep with its gentle breeze, it feels good.But I know I made a promise to myself that I will not let this feeling hinder all of my plans of revenge in the future. For the people of this kingdom and more importantly this kingdom, Kozania.I tightly gripped the hilt of my sword resting on my waist when I felt the fast approach of a presence. When I felt that someone arrived, I removed my sword from its sheath and positioned myself prepared for an attack. When our swords met, the clanging sound resonated all over the plac
"WHAT are you doing here, Verdantes?" I asked.I was on my way to the falls where the mermaids are swimming to bathe when I caught a glimpse of them here in the middle of the woods of Kozania.There are only three of them in count and Dardo, their leader, is not one of these three. The one in the middle proudly faced me so I raised a brow on him and put my hand on the hilt of my sword, readying to defend myself and attack if anything goes wrong."We were just taking a walk, Miss," he said, slightly backing away looking at how I held the hilt of my sword."Taking a walk?" I said sarcastically before continuing. "And where do you say you are going here in this dead land, Verdantes? Are you familiar with this place?" I added with a glare on my eyes."Apologies, Miss. We are going now," said one of them and signed for the other to go."Right. Just go if you still want to have your horns before going home," with a grimmed face I said. All of them
I FELL to the ground when Matias hit me on the shoulder with the hilt of his sword. I immediately got a hold of the part when I felt the pain radiating through my upper left chest now.I glared at him because of that strong attack of his. He just grinned at me and lent me his hand to help me stand on my feet again but I refused it and stood on my own."You feel a little distracted today, Aliara. Where did your mind drift to?" he said that made me peer at him.I picked up my sword who was lying on the ground near me and used it as a prop to help me stand."It is the first time that you had me defeated but you are already proud, Matias.""That is not being proud of me to say that, Miss. I was justasking because that is what I am seeing from you," he said. His annoying grin was removed from his lips."The grin in your face earlier says otherwise," I said in an irritated tone and rolled my eyes at him.I put my sword on its sheath a
I STARED at the small house in front of me. Small and made of concrete, obviously abandoned by its owner. It took us days before we finally found this place."This is where they resided before the killing," said Matias on my side."Kill! Kill!" Vivi, using his shrill voice, now on my shoulder.Matias opened the door and let me inside first. We already knew what to do when our eyes met, Inodded and headed inside.What flashed before me was a mess of things that were all around the house. The house had only one room. He immediately went and inspected what was inside. I quietly waited for him to come out while I wandered my eyes at the surroundings. People who have been here were obviously in a haste, in search of something.Moments later, Matias came out holding a red cloth. I observed it when he handed it to me and saw the name embroidered in it. It did not surprise me even a bit."It was her," I said."Now, we have another
"Do not dare go near me," I said, my voice laced with threat but he did not mind it. He continued to approach me with that hideous grin of his and it grew wider. Seemingly to tease me because of the way I reacted to his doings."Why? I just wanted to hold this lady who made a fool out of me the last time. Distracting me with that charm of yours to get my purse full of gold coins.""I am in no way responsible for you being bewitched by my charm," I snorted, still taking steps backward to avoid him when he tried to get a hold of my face. My eyes sharpened. In fact, this man right here is very handsome, has a charming face and his smile is seductive but I do not fall for that. It seems that it was not effective on me."I said do not dare go near me!" I said, annoyed. Using my brute force, I pushed him causing him to be sent flying for some distance.The attention of the many passersby got caught when they saw him fall and heard a loud thud on the ground. The
"DID YOU stole a kiss from him too the reason why he is pursuing you?" be said that made my forehead crease."I did not steal a kiss from him. He is the one who wants it from me," I said defending myself. Did he think that I would just kiss anybody who wasavailable? What a scum! He is the first and last person whom I stole a kiss from but I will never ever let him know about that. I must keep my head high.My eyes grew wide when he welcomed me with a heated kiss on the lips. I put my hand on his wide chest to push him but my body is a traitor. I liked the way this man kissed me if I am to be honest. Long, exciting and carnal. That is how he kissed me. The way I almost chased his lips every time it ended gave me an unknown feeling within me. After the long and deep kiss, with our foreheads leaning on each other, I blew deep breaths. Gasps of air while looking at his alluring lips.'Is it not that the other day you are hesitating about his feelings for you b
I WAS just staring at the shining moon above. Weeks from now and it will be full, the time when we will do our plan, attacking the auction hall in Farianio. I was seated on one of the logs. Silence filled the night. People in our hideout are preparing to sleep now that the night is getting deeper as moments pass by. The wind blew so cold that I started to hug myself. I just sigh before I stand and decide to just call it a night too and sleep.I was walking through the dark part of the path. I got halted when I heard a voice coming from a nearby spot. I cannot hear what she was talking about but I am sure that was her voice I can hear."Adrina?" I called as I approached the spot. With the help of the moon's light, I saw her standing there with a blank expression on her face, holding a piece of an unknown black flower. A kind I have never seen in my entire life."Where did you get that?" I asked as I heightened my senses, feeling some presence nearby.
"WHO WAS that?" Matias said when he reached me. "What happened?""Another visitor tonight," I said as my jaw tightened."A visitor?"I averted my glare at him. "From now on, there will be someone who will guard every night in this place. Make sure that this incident will never happen again in the future. I do not want any visit at this godly hour of the day," I said and turned my back at him.If only he woke and went to me earlier, we would have captured that man. He will always come whenever he is not needed."Is it not the only one you fought? Who sent them?" he asked while tailing me.I quickly turned to him and glared, again. "Tell me, who did they come here for, Matias? This never happened in the past because they are all afraid to be here. Who are they after they have been brazen to send men here?" I sarcastically said.He stopped for a moment and realized the answer for his question. "The two kids.""Adrina," I sai
