>>Portia
My heart pounded in my chest and my eyes were glued to Egon’s face. My hands clasped over my chest with my cheeks ready to turn tomato red at any moment.
“What are you going to do?” I asked softly while he continued to carry me to his room.
“Heal your injuries.” He set me down on the bed and crouched down on the floor right by my legs, “If you let me,” He placed his hand on my thigh and looked at me waiting for an answer.
“Um,” I knew I was missing something here, “How?” I asked in concern but my voice came out as a whisper.
He smirked at my question, “We’re mates,&
>>PortiaHe started from my face. His tongue softly landed on my cheek, sending a hot wet feeling on my skin right where one of the twins injured me. I immediately felt electrified and my body shuddered at his touch. Not something bad, but a blissful feeling of getting to feel my erastai yet at the same time, nerve-wracking.I knew this was going to be intimate but I still agreed to it. That doesn’t mean I’m not scared, I still am, it’s a bit overwhelming but Egon’s touch is very gentle. I think he’s being careful since not only is he a lot older than me, this all is new to me as well.He had my face cupped and after disinfecting the mark on my face he kissed my cheek, then moved back, “Are you alright?” He looked at my f
>>Ulrich“Where is he?” I sighed walking the pleasant streets of the city. The road I was on was covered by trees and presented a pretty sight. Like, there were rows of trees on either side of the road and their branches and leaves made an overheard natural bridge.I had been calling Harou ever since I left the house but he hasn’t been picking up. He needs to be updated on Miers but where the hell is he?The wide building on the other side of the road was a school, it occupied a lot of space since it was both, a middle and high school separated by the playground.I was passing by it casually when the breeze brought a very alluring scent to my nose, making me stop in my path and making m
>>Ulrich“No!” I raised my hands, “It’s nothing like that!” I stood firm, “Absolutely not.” I paused, “Wait you work in the nightclub?” This was news to me. And wait, what? She was my private performer? God! Send me back! How dare I skip that!?!? God, please!! Please!!She scoffed at me, “Don’t pretend you don’t know.”I don’t!?! Oh! MY! GOD! I remember Derek trying to stop me and telling me about a performance but I had no idea it would be you!!“I really don’t,” I repliedJena shook her head in disappointment. That’s when someone bumped into h
>>EgonThis! I smiled when I saw her in my clothes. This is how it should be! Even though I gave her the smallest size I owned, it was still big on her but the sight only made me happy.She’s mine, she should be wearing what’s mine too. Not some other man’s.“Um,” Our eyes met, “What now?” She asked looking a little nervous.“Ah,” I just finished talking to Ulrich, “We all agree that it’s better for you to stay here now that Miers knows about us.”“...” She didn’t seem happy, “I can’t go home?” On the contrary, she seemed anxious, “I
>>PortiaWoah!We four stood outside a traditional-looking house that belongs to a vampire noble. Apparently, he’s living in the human world but none of us know why. The most likely person to know why would either be Ulrich or Harou but neither of them had the answer.It was evening, the sky was turning darker while we waited for the door to be opened. I was pretty much okay with it but the lycans hated the fact that they were even standing at the doorstep of their immortal enemy.‘Click’The door opened and a pretty person came into view. It was a girlA young human girl
>> MiersMy stomach churned when I coughed. It was a burning sensation that made me cough up blood and at times made it difficult to breathe. The coughing fit lasted for a few minutes, choking me enough that it almost suffocated me.When it stopped, I gasped for air by looking up at the dark sky, then took deep breaths.I need rest.I shook my head.Plenty of it.I walked in the European-style brick streets where the lamps on the walls flickered to life, replacing the warm glow of the sun to some extent since the night was upon us.The streets were old but they
>>Portia“By the way, do you know Ruda?” We were making our way back to the penthouse. It was a ninety-minute drive from the penthouse to the vampire’s house, so we took Ulrich’s car.“I do, he’s the Alpha of a strong pack,” Ulrich answered“Wait,” Egon paused, “That Ruda? The only one left from his family?” He was the one driving.Ulrich nodded, “Yea, him,” I smelled a story but I didn’t want to be nosy, “Harou, can you arrange a meeting for us?”“Sure,” Harou answered while he and I sat in the back seats, “And drop me off at
>>PortiaI found myself sitting in Harou’s office. He sat on his desk chair while I sat on the couch and we both stared at each other.“So you’re curious?” He smirked with his arms folded.I nodded, “I feel like there is something missing,” I replied, “And I feel like you might know.” I had my hands resting on my thighs with my lips slightly pouty since I was a little nervous about this all.“I might know what?” He leaned against the desk and his smile turned slier.“You know what Egon and the prince are hiding, right?” I eyed him, “You’re not the type to let things li
>>Jena“It was a wonderful event.” Ulrich and I sat on the rooftop open bar after attending Jenny's wedding.“It was nice,” Ulrich replied, “I like the pastel blues in Portia’s theme.”“I know!” I got excited, “And it went wonderfully with Jenny’s theme of pastel yellow.”“Looks like they both put in a lot of effort and time for time.”I let out a satisfied sigh, “Yea,” I smiled and leaned into Ulrich, they sure did, “I’m glad it all went well.” The cool breeze caressed my skin as I took a sip from my drink and let it relax me.As I gazed out at the city skyline,
>>JennyI can’t believe the time is here. I know I was waiting for this day. I wanted to marry Koen so badly so that he would mark me. But I’m still reluctant about moving to The Silver City. It hasn’t even been a year since I started working as an officer. I don’t want to leave my job.Portia is leaving with Egon directly after the wedding ends, she’s more than happy to go with Egon now. I saw the mark on the back of her neck this morning and I found myself anticipating the one I’ll be getting.I was sitting in the bridal room, all dolled up when my mate came to disrupt the thoughts that were torturing me.“What are you worried about?” Koen came and sat down nex
(Further two years later)>>Portia“Hey hurry up!” Jenny whined, “We’re already late!” Jenny graduated from the police academy and now is bossier than ever even though she still hasn’t passed her National Detective and Investigative Test (NDIT) She’s working as an officer now while I just finished my final exam two weeks ago.“Just a minute.” I told her, “We’re leaving for good, I have to make sure we’re not leaving anything behind.” I got an Education degree from a university near Jenny’s and we shared a dorm for four years.I looked around the place that was now empty and I tightly clutched the hand bag in my hands, &ld
>>Jenny“Alright then,” We waited till another music piece started, “It’s really not hard. Since you’re smart. You’ll do great.”I nodded and as another piece started we swayed to the rhythm of the music, our bodies moving in sync. It was really easy to follow Koen’s lead, especially because he was going slow for me so that I could catch up.In the midst of the dance, I couldn't resist the urge to tease him, probably because I was on an edge and needed to divert my attention from the problem tugging at my brain. I was being bolder than usual. Leaning in closer, I whispered into his ear, my voice laced with a playful edge. "You know," I murmured, my breath tickling his skin, "I heard that kissing burns calories, wanna test that theory?"
>>JennyThe grand hall was adorned with opulent decorations, Jena, dressed in regal attire, stepped forward with confidence. She was wearing a breathtaking gown, a creation of exquisite silk and delicate lace. The fabric cascaded around her, flowing like a waterfall of opulenceThe officiant, the highest-ranking werewolf elder, stepped forward and began the ceremony, reciting ancient rituals and blessings. He spoke of the qualities that define a true leader: strength, wisdom, compassion, and the ability to unite the werewolf clans under a common purpose and blah blah blah. I couldn’t concentrate much on it really.One by one, the leaders of the packs stepped forward, offering their allegiance and loyalty to Jena. They pledged to support and follow her, recognizing her as the rightful
(Two years later)>>PortiaDuring the summer vacation holidays after our second year, Jena and Ulrich held their marriage ceremony and Jena’s coronation as Queen. Jenny and I made our way to the Silver City. Considering Jenny doesn’t have a full mark and hasn’t gone through her shifting she has to be accompanied by a wolf to pass the barriers of the Silver City even though she has special permission from the king himself to enter the lycan city.The forest was dense and we had to travel a lot on foot to reach the entrance of the city. It was exhausting but when we reached and saw the two people waiting for us there outside the entrance, our fatigue flew away. It was like a happy moment, where the chemicals in our brains shifted, causing us to forget about our tiredness.
>>JenaWe both waited for them to make a decision, we stood quietly while they glared back at us. It was quite unnerving to just stand there in the awkward and deadly silent while two God knows how old lycans stared at me.Then the previous Queen let out a sigh“Bianca dear,” Mother in law turned to her, “I’m sorry we called you here.” She shook her head, “You can go back. I apologize for inconveniencing you.”!!!Does she mean what I think she means by that?!?!Bianca was baffled at the apology, “Are you taking the human’s side?” She looked at the couple in di
>>UlrichShe nodded, “Yes,” Her answer held no doubt, “You need a Queen. And it has to be someone educated. You need a noble lycan to help you with your work as king.”….“NO!” I answered back in disbelief, “Not happening.” I removed her hands from my face and stepped back, “Absolutely not!”I had a bad feeling on my way here too but I wasn’t expecting them to say something so stupid.Marry someone else? Make someone else my Queen? Does that make any sense??!The depth of my love for Jena was unyielding. Every fibe
>>JenaBianca Beez!?Why is she here? I keep hearing her name but the only solace I had was that I didn’t have to see her myself or see her near Ulrich. So why is she here, in the palace, out of the blue?“Oh?” I raised my brow at her, “I’ve never heard of you.” I gave her a confident smile.“Oh?” She looked a little offended at that, but it seemed my words didn’t bother her much, “Well, men tend to hide their lovers.”Her words pissed me off. Lovers? Is she trying to imply that she and Ulrich were lovers?“Oh, no,” I shook my he
