Last KissesChapter 21I looked down at my hand, intertwined with Lane’s. My eyes stared at it for longer than I could realize. My mind is still digesting everything. I bit my lip as my gaze rose to Lane’s side. He looks happy, but the veins popping out of his head were evident for me to say that he’s been stressed. I still have no idea where he is taking me. I followed him as he guided me. A smile made way on my lips. I’m his Luna. His mate.I know I came here for his death… But… I am now taking a leap of faith. Now, I want every piece of him. I want him for myself. I can’t believe that he actually chose me. We’re now back at the headquarters. We stopped in front of a big oak door. He slowly opened it. My eyes glistened at what I saw. Inside the room revealed a glowing garden. Flowers were shimmering despite daylight. I moved closer to a red rose glowing in gold. I touched its petals as my fingers travelled down to its thorns.“Careful, the thorns sting,” I heard him whisper on m
Kill the Alpha“You can’t kill your mate, Sette!”I think that was the only thing that came to my mind. I froze for a moment but then continued to pack some of my arrows. I prepared my weapons. I have trained my whole life. I have prepared for the tragedy my family will face.“It’s the only solution I could think of. And maybe, it is the only solution we have,” this time, I finally faced her.I spent years finding ways to break the curse but it just led me to nothing.“Do you really think you can kill an Alpha?”I gritted my teeth.“I’ve had a couple of missions that involved life and death situations and killing an Alpha would not be that hard. Trust me.”“He’s the Alpha of the biggest and most powerful pack, Sette. What do you have against him?”“How about my sixteen years of blood, sweat, and tears?” I asked her sarcastically.The moment I turned seven, our grandmother trained me to fight against the curse. And all the years after that, I devoted my life to finding a solution that
Truth and PromisesI ran as fast as I could, not minding the branches that hit me. My heart pounded as I felt more Werewolves trailing me. I’m a powerless Witch. I don’t have powers to protect me. I only have my sixteen years of hard work skills to defend myself. I took a leap and reached for a higher branch but as soon as my feet touched the branch, it made a cracking sound before the branch gave up.Everything happened so fast that I didn’t even realize that I’m falling from a thirty-foot tree. I groaned in so much pain as I felt my back hit a branch. Then I fell to another branch and then another. I was hit multiple times. I thought I would be able to remain conscious but then I felt a hard hit on my head and everything went black. My body could feel the terrifying serene loneliness. But when I felt the darkness devour me, I saw a light.It was so faint. Almost impossible to see even in this gloom. With my weak composure, I tried to run to that light, hoping to be saved. I was so
Punishment I pulled my hand from him. I rose from bed. I winced as I felt my healing bruises around my body. My eyes surveyed around the room I am in. It’s a totally different room from the cold cell I knew. And as if he knew the question in my mind, he explained why I’m here. “This will be the interrogating room. At the same time, this is where you will stay.”“You shouldn’t be here with me.” My head remained lowered as he spoke. “And why is that?” “Shouldn’t you know that I can kill you here in a snap?”“Shouldn’t you know that your body is not in the right condition to kill an Alpha?” he came back at me.I smirked unconsciously. I looked around. The room is painted with gold on the walls. Furnitures were antique yet classic. Even the bed sheets felt premium something a slave shouldn’t have. The room is wide and spacious. Doesn’t look like a prison cell for an assassin. “Too fancy for a slave,” I whispered but he still heard it. “I found out something…” I immediately felt m
SavedI laughed remembering Lane’s offer yesterday. I shook my head as I turned off the shower. I finished taking a bath and even the interior of the bathroom looked like one of those in a five-star hotel. Of course, I laughed so hard that day that he left this room without any information from me. But after all the laughter and giggles, I felt cold. It made me wonder why he wanted me to be his Luna. Is the pill not working anymore? I eyed my body in front of the mirror. I looked for a possible mark but there was none. “Chill. He’s just joking yesterday.” As much as I want it out of my mind, I can’t stop thinking if he noticed me as a mate. I’m sure that no Marking happened between us. Then my face heated thinking about his offer. I wrapped my body with a small towel and went outside of the room. I stopped from my tracks when I saw Lane sitting on my bed watching my every move like a lion staring at its prey. “What the hell?!”Immediately, I covered my body with my arms even whe
Like Moth Following the FlameI rested my back on the headboard of the bed. I let the doctors examine me as my head remained lowered. My eyes were fixed on my fidgeting fingers. I just woke up after the attack. After Vicki shot me. And I… saved Lane. It’s still a big question in my head that I saved Lane. I came here for his death but why on earth did I thought of saving him? I never had the guts to raise my head until I felt a familiar presence enter the room. I slowly raised my gaze to confirm the assumption in my head. I froze the moment I saw Vicki. I swallowed the lump on my throat as I followed her every move. She’s dressed in a nurse’s uniform and naturally attended to the doctors as she carried a platter of medicine. And just behind Vicki, a saw a pair of cold and intriguing eyes. I hitched my breath as I stared at Lane’s deep eyes. I couldn’t even last more than five seconds adoring his eyes when I looked away. I felt the shivers on my spine with just that cold look of Lan
Confusing HeartMy back felt the soft mattress as Lane pinned me on the bed. I couldn't care less of what was happening around me anymore. How is my marking gone suddenly? How am I giving in this quickly? My body was just to fixated to his kisses that sent shivers on my spine. A moan just escaped from my lips when I felt his hand cupped my breast gently. My breathing ragged mountains as I felt the touch of his hand slowly approaching my wet folds. I didn't even know my jeans were already unzipped! And like a moth following the flame, I didn't care is I was burning with his every touch. I didn't care at all! I just kissed back and touch him all over his body. My hand travelled to his shirt. I didn't like the way our clothes were separating our skin. I want to feel him. I want feel his warmth and just be filled with him. "Slowly," he chuckled. My fingers were already shaking from unbuttoning his jeans. My patience were slowly ripping second by second. I didn't even realize he was
Cursed DreamThis shouldn't be a question at all! Putting me to the battle field? Letting me touch a weapon when they accused me of killing Lane which is kinda true. If they let me outside of my room, go to the war, defend, I might just kill Lane. But of course, the only reason why I'm not going outside of my room was just to avoid him. I don't know if the pill was not working anymore but... I'm feeling something I shouldn't be feeling. I diverted my eyes from Lane when I felt his hot gaze burning me. "Convince me all you want but I'm not going anywhere out of this room," I started. Silence remained in the room. It was the awkward silence that I don't want to experience. "Okay. Amara, can you leave us for a moment?" My eyes widened at Lane's words. "You can't c-convince me, Lane," my voice broke. I'm suddenly feeling the chills with the idea of me and Lane, alone in one room. "I'll just leave.""Amara," my voice raised. She looked at me with questions in her eyes. She's getti

YoursMy fingers traced every petal on the bathtub I’m in. It’s been an hour since my body is soaked on milk. The petals are turning pale, especially with the milk it floated on. I rested my head and noticed Jillian poured more milk on my hair. Jillian, Maurice, and Rimel surrounded me. They have assisted me with anything that I have been doing since the past three days. I don’t know if I should be thankful or annoyed. Surely. I had a ton of maids at the manor, but we all had privacy. This seems… I looked at Maurice, scrubbing my legs. Rimel is busy with preparing my clothes. Jillian poured more milk on me. I sighed heavily. “Is there something wrong, my Lady?” Maurice paused and asked. I pulled my leg from her and took the towel myself. I immediately sensed their urgency in helping me.“I think I’m finished with my bath.”I hurriedly went out of the bathtub, but they were fast, too. Before I could pick up clothes, Rimel already had it in her hands. She’s the older one among the
As One“Lane, what are you doing here? You should be resting in your chambers,” Ashmita’s voice was shaking in fear.“What you are doing is treason!” I snapped back from my thoughts when I heard Lane’s voice thunder in the room. My eyes looked up at Ashmita’s helpless composure. Then my gaze traveled to Lane just behind Ashmita. All I could see was half his face. But even just half of it, I could feel the rage burning in his eyes. I gripped tightly on my chair as I thought of a way to escape, but I was hopeless too. “What do you mean? She harmed you! It is treason to kill the Alpha!” “And killing the Luna isn’t?” Silence invaded darkness and every corner of the room. It finally processed in my mind that Lane performed the ritual without my knowledge. But why would he? Why would he give me his essence while he sucked for my blood? I looked down on my wrist. There wasn’t any evident mark, but realization sunk into me when I saw the unhealed wound. I might be a witch without any po
Survived Are my eyes closed? Everything was pitch black, I might think my eyes are closed. Silence stretched from every corner. I could hearmy sweat falling from my forehead down to the cold floor. My hard breathing was too evident. And no matter which direction my head would look, there was nothing but darkness. I can’t even sense anyone in the same room as me. But despite all the darkness invading me right now, only one person would stay in my mind. Lane…He must be alright. Now that he’s in better hands. My sigh echoed through the walls as relief poured through me. But my relief only lived for a while when I heard the creak of a door that seemed to be in front of me. My eyes closed abruptly when light killed darkness. And when the lights were turned on, the more my face squinted from the sudden light I had to absorb.My eyes slowly adjusted to the light. I blinked a couple times before I settled my gaze at the woman in front of me. The corners of her lips curved evilly. She de
Love The royal blue color of the waters was painted with blood as I searched for Lane. I saw my pruned fingers but never minded it. My mind only spiraled looking around for Lane. I can never find peace if I can’t find him. I worked hard being on top of my game as a Warrior Witch in our organization. It only proved that I don’t need powers to be the best of the rest. But there will be days. Inevitable days where I feel the need to have powers.Where I curse the heavens for not blessing me one. What sin did I commit? What law did my family disobey for me and my sisters to suffer this fate?! When I almost slipped away from the hope I was holding on to, I finally saw Lane. He was wrapped around the seaweed. I swam as fast as I could. When my hand touched his cold palm, I hugged him tight like it could be our last. I pulled the pocket knife from one of my pockets as I free Lane from every hold the seaweed had of him. I felt myself losing air, but just in time, I was able to rise to the
ShotGunshots echoed inside the mall. Amara chanted a spell and in a minute a bubble surrounded us, protecting us from the bullets. It made me thought of myself. If only I was an ordinary Witch. "We need to move fast. My spell won't last long." We ran like our life meant on it. Well, it does. We were about to exit the mall when an explosion happened at the exit. Debris fell, blocking the way outside. Amara and I looked at each other. We have the same thoughts in our mind but..."They're too many!" She shook her head. We ran to a safer place as she casted a spell. I saw her release small bubbles, in the shape of a bullet. When I saw her loading it to her gun, I immediatley know what her powers were. "You're a shield." She gave me her bubbles. I did the same thing, loaded it to my guns. "What am I supposed to do with this bubbles?" "It will shield them from us. If they shoot, the bullets will come back for them." The idea made me excited. The bullets are slowly getting in our di
Illusion"I will make the decision. It's not safe to make her as a bait. We'll test you first in the battle fields. We need to know their reaction. But at the same time, we'll continue with the original plan. we evacuate all civilans." I nodded slowly. I think arguing with him will only make things harder for me. After the meeting, we parted ways. Amara eventually took meand prepped me for tomorrow's mission. I looked at the gears in front of me while Amara kept on talking. "Twenty civilans have been killed like their lives never mattered. We won't release you immediatley tomorrow. Lane has been thinking about making you the new Head Trainer."My eyes gazed at the window in my room. There's no light outside. Only darkness enveloped the night. I could hear the faint sound of guns, bomb, and cries from different children. I wonder how close the battle field is. "What was this place before?" I heard Amara sighed heavily. I can see tall buildings from afar and a few establishments. i
A Battle To Overcome My hand flew immediatley to his face. The sound of my palm as it touched his face echoed throughout the room. I saw the mark my hand left on his cheek. I swallowed hard and took a step back. But then a reminder came back to my mind. I'm exactly here to kill him. But when I had the opportunities to do it, I seem to not do it. Or I just hesitate to do it. I'm now stuck in the sheets. My foot took a step forward and held all the courage left in me. "I think you know what that slap means. I don't want anything to do with you. If something happened, forget about it."I saw his jaw clenched harshly. He slowly straightened his composure. I felt my body trembeled when his eyes caught mine. In the abyss of hsi eyes, I only saw cruel darkness. My insides are slowly crumbling but I still remained my strong presence. "You should leave," I said with my voice almost crumbling. He looked away and nodded slowly. Every clench of his jaw only made me weak. But... I had to make
Chapter 14Panties I stretched my body when I heard birds chirping. My eyes still closed, I felt the unusual softness of the bed. I pouted my lips when I felt a faint pain just between my legs. Then a memory struck my mind like lightning. My eyes widened as I first saw the intricate ceiling above me. This isn't my room. I took a deep breath, and his scent immediately invaded my nostrils. I felt my heart trembling with every second that passed. This can't be. I swallowed the lump in my throat as I turned my head in the direction of the man beside me. I hitched my breath when I saw Lane sleeping peacefully beside me. His large arms wrapped around me, making me shiver. I can't even process what just happened last night; what more with this?! It happened again, my mind thought. It happened again! I slowly removed his arms away from me. I moved gently, hoping he would never feel a bit of my movement or presence. The moment I got out of his embrace, I immediately looked for my clothes
