Chapter 12

IT ALL HAPPENED TOO FAST. The magic his touch was sending all throughout my body burned me instantly as we stared at each other with nothing but familiarity in the strands of our pools. It was as if our souls had waited forever just to be reunited, and even though I barely understood where this recognition was coming from, I gave in to something I knew I'd regret.

"Jemimah..." he called me hoarsely, struggling to get a hold of himself. He was looking more dangerous when he's like this, but it was the kind of danger I didn't think I should be fearing about.

I knew I should never play with fire I could never kill, but the moment Roam stroke my jaw with his rough finger, my eyes glistened with the same raw desire I was seeing in his eyes. "You just saved me, Ahuvi... You saved me again..."

Warmth clawed my heart as I gave him a small, genuine smile. "You scared me, but I'm happy you're okay now."

His eyes sparkled with sheer h

    Chapter 13THE MAN dragged me away from Roam until we're almost twenty yards away. When I managed to hit his chin with my head, his hold on me loosen. I took the chance and get off his grip. My hands held the rifle and aimed it at him, ready to shoot him 'til he would drop to the ground."Woah! Hold your horses, sugar! That's gonna burn!" he said, his hands in the air as if surrendering.My brows furrowed. "Yzmael?"He released a relieved sigh then rubbed his chest. "Yeah." Glancing at Roam and the wolf, he held the gun and made me point it on the ground. "Let Roam deal with him.""What?" My eyes drifted back to Roam. "But why? Aren't you gonna help? You're a vampire."Yzmael scratched his temple and flashed an awkward grin. "Uh, that's the thing." He entwined his fingers and placed his enclasped hands on his nape. "I am so I shouldn't meddle with their business.""But..." Fear rose from my chest as I watched

    Chapter 14I COULDN'T take my eyes off Roam's chest. We were back in the house and we're at the living room to take care of his wounds. He had lots of cuts and scratches but what bothered me a lot was the ripped part of his chest.He insisted I to keep me close even when I was terrified. I did not understand what was going on, and when Roam looked into my worried pools, he let out a sigh and laid his back comfortably on the backrest of the couch. Well, he wasn't entirely comfortable. His forehead was creased and pain was visible in his eyes."Shouldn't you remove your necklace so we can take care of your wounds better--""No." His jaw locked and I saw his eyes darkened, telling me he didn't like my suggestion at all.My forehead creased even more. "Oh--kay? Fine. Don't remove it. No big deal. You don't have to be grumpy." I shook my head when I remembered how he behaved when we first met and during the time I first woke up

    Chapter 15I KNEW Roam saw the hint of curiosity on my face when I went to the porch to see the smoke coming from a distance. My hands gripped on the handrail, and with my mouth halfway opened, I drifted my gaze towards Roam and Ymzael.My hand lifted in the air as I pointed at the smoke with my brows almost meeting. "W--What's going on there?"Roam threw Yzmael a meaningful glance before he looked at me again. "Don't leave the house. We'll see what it is."My grip on the handrail tightened. The sun was about to set and looked like some campers started a bonfire to keep them warm for the night. If that would be the case then I would need to go to them. They could be my ticket out of here but... was I ready to go?The thought of leaving Roam brought a tug in my chest but I immediately pushed the stupid feelings aside. This was the perfect time to leave, right? Before I fully lose my sanity and give in to whatever Ro

    Chapter 16MY HEART banged hardly inside my chest as horror sketch on my face. Vampires, but unlike Yzmael, they looked--lifeless, and undeniably terrifying. Their complexion were too pale and bluish veins appear underneath their skin. Darkness was already conquering the bleeding sky, and as I looked into their scarlet eyes, I saw nothing but their hunger for something.My eyes widened when I realized what they were craving for. My blood. They were hungry for my blood...The painful truth about the real world suck into my mind. I was a mere human. One of the creatures who would always belong at the bottom of the food chain while people like them exist, hiding in plain sight, blending with their preys and ready to attack once the perfect moment would come.One of them held me by my hair and pulled me up. I groaned in pain, unable to get off the blonde's grip. It felt like my scalp was getting stripped off my skull but they didn't seem to care

    Chapter 17YZMAEL had to take his steps slowly so I wouldn't get left behind. Rain was heavily pouring already as we made it to the house. He stopped by the door, but when he realized he wouldn't be able to get in without Roam inviting him, he sighed and looked at the porch."We're gonna have to get him inside through the bedroom's porch. I can climb up but you're gonna need to drag him in. Do you think you can do that?" he asked, worried about my ankle even when he, too looked ragged.I bit my lower lip and looked at Roam with a heavy heart. My tears wouldn't stop falling as I blamed myself for what happened. It was my fault why he was like this now. Dragging him in with my ankle swelling was the least I could do.I looked at Yzmael again. Wiping my cheeks with the back of my hand, I took in some air before I nodded. "I'll open the porch's door and prepare the blanket. I won't be able to carry him to the bed so might as well make the floor comforta

    Chapter 18I COULDN'T believe Izzy wouldn't be satisfied with a bottle of whisky. I had to take three trips down the stairs just to get him a total of ten bottles. God, he's even worse when he was drunk. He kept talking about how much he loved Alice and how stupid Bella was for choosing Edward over Jacob."I thought you're team Cullen? Why are you siding on Jacob now?" I asked with furrowed brows, a blanket was wrapped around my body while I sit next to Roam who's still asleep.His body was facing me, and somehow, I felt relieved to hear his deep breaths. Good. That meant he's still alive. Izzy said we might need to wait a couple days for Roam to wake up. That meant more of this Twilight drama from a real centuries old vampire.Izzy placed his index finger in front of his lips while making a shush. His eyes looked sleepy already with all the alcohol he jugged in the last three hours but looked like he was still going to ask for another

    Chapter 19RoamI COULDN'T BREATHE. No matter how much I wanted to stop myself from looking at her through the rearview mirror, I couldn't stop myself... and it was fucking painful to see her run after me.Why? Why was she still chasing me? Her words in my head that night she ranaway was crystal clear. She might not be aware that she was sending me those words, still, it pierced through my heart like a hundred knives.Maybe she was right. If I didn't happen in her life, in this lifetime or before as Halia, maybe things wouldn't always seem so tragic for her.I tried to close my eyes as I approached the next crossroad, but when I saw Jemimah fell on her knees, shouting my name and begging me to come back, my heart got torn into pieces. Never did I ever wish to break hers...With my heart slamming hardly inside my chest, I stepped on the gas and turned the car around. I watched her get up on her feet. She was biting her lower lip

    Chapter 30RoamIZZY drove the car while Jemimah and I were on the backseat. She was silent since we left Zenios, her eyes were staring blankly outside while her cat was on her lap.No one dared to talk the entire ride as we left Nirvana District, and when we reached the border, Izzy stopped the car and rubbed his palms on his face.Worry crossed my face as I observed Izzy. He didn't seem much of himself right now, but I knew there was something else that was bothering him besides what Nimpha and Hymer had done.A sigh left my lips. I leaned forward and rested my hand on Jemimah's thigh before I spoke. "Let's take a stop in the next town."Izzy glanced at me through the rearview mirror before he slightly nodded his head. The look on his face began to bother me. Seems like Izzy got some bad news to spill once the two of us were finally alone."Roam?" Jemimah called when the car started moving.I g

    Chapter 29THERE WAS a moment in my life when I thought I would never feel anything like what my parents had. I used to watch them dance in the kitchen while mom was cooking dinner. Dad would always come home with a bunch of flowers and mom would look at him as if forever lies in his hands.I never thought the butterflies that weren't real, until I felt Roam's warm but minty breath against my bare skin, burning me in the most beautiful way.A sensual moan threatened to escape my throat when he began kissing the side of my neck, his rough palms were busy doing wonders on my body. He was on top of me wearing nothing anymore but his boxers, his hardness gently brushing against my throbbing sex everytime he was moving his hips.I couldn't help but squeeze my eyes shut as he nibbled my skin. Everytime he was grazing his teeth against my shoulder, I'd shiver in pure ecstasy. God, he was everything heavenly, and here I was, a saint turn

    Chapter 28NIMPHA helped me get ready for the sealing ceremony. The Luna gave me an off-shoulder white dress that's reaching my toes while Nimpha braded my hair into a crown with some strands falling on the sides of my face. She also put on some make up on my face to finish the look, and honestly, I had never admired myself as much as I did when I looked in the mirror."It feels like looking at a complete stranger," I uttered, still staring at myself in the mirror while Nimpha was standing behind me, holding me by my shoulders.She giggled. "Silly! You're beautiful even without all these. And now, to complete the look..." She grabbed the bouquet of pink roses on the dresser and handed it to me with a sweet smile plastered on her face. "Here you go, bride."Bride...My cheeks blushed with the word she used. I wasn't able to respond, and honestly, I didn't know exactly what to feel about all these.Nimpha's smile faded and

    Chapter 27I DIDN'T know my vocabulary was too small until I saw the majestic falls near the border of Zenios and Claivan pack. The inner borders were not entirely guarded by Deltas because Nirvana people follow their rules strictly. One of those was to never cross the border unless invited by the territory's leader.My eyes were widened like a kid who'd seen Disneyland for the first time. My lips were widely open as I stared at the beautiful masterpiece in front of us. No, I didn't really think there was a word that's already invented that could give justice to it.Not that I was being emotional but the sight of it almost made me tear up. It has freaking layers of basin-like white rocks where the bluish water flows from the top. Its sound alone was calming already. Now I couldn't wait anymore to dive into it.Birds chirped as it hopped from one tree to another. Large oak trees lined up around, and goodness if this place wasn't p

    Chapter 26I HAD NEVER seen such chaotic breakfast. People flooded the huge dining area as if I was in a school cafeteria. Large tables were full of food for about sixty people. They were teasing each other. One of them even jumped on top of a table and did a "Magic Mic".Nimpha who, of course, was locked in her boyfriend's arms again, grabbed a mug sitting on the corner table as soon as we got inside. She threw it across the room, aiming for the Channing-wannabe.I gasped as I watched with a horrified face, but the guy caught it right before the poor mug hit the back of his neck.His expressive, sparkly perhaps, pair of honeycomb eyes similar to Lawrence, narrowed at Nimpha. "What? You don't want others to see this?"Roam suddenly covered my eyes when the guy lifted his shirt to expose his ab muscles. I removed his hand before I looked at him, slightly disappointed but my mate (oh, wow! Where did my confidence to say that

    Chapter 25ZENIOS was a village in the heart of Nirvana. Although people in their pack seemed normal, there was something about them that would give away what they truly were.When Lawrence parked the truck a few meters away from the biggest house in the village, Izzy carried Miss Elizabeth's crate. I hopped out, but when I saw Lawrence opened the door for Nimpha, my heart suddenly felt... jealous. My shoulders became heavy and a shallow sigh left my lips when I remembered Roam.Izzy anchored his arm on my shoulders before he gave my arm a gentle squeeze. "You're worrying again. Told you, your mate's too strong to be killed by those petty hunters."If they were petty then why did we have to leave our house in the woods? Something was just not adding up here.I heard Nimpha giggle. When I looked at them again, she was already sitting on the hood of the truck with Lawrence standing between her parted legs. His arms were wrapped around N

    Chapter 24WHEN we got to the main road, Roam removed his motorbike's cover then gave Izzy the car keys. I just stood a meter away from him, watching him in a worried way as he pushed his motorbike to the asphalt road."Jem, get in," Izzy called me.I looked over my shoulder and saw Izzy getting inside the driver's seat already after putting Miss Elizabeth's crate in the backset. I didn't like what I was sensing. My heart felt so heavy I didn't know why.Swallowing the pool of saliva in my throat, I returned my gaze towards Roam again. He rode his motorbike already and was about to wear his helmet when I called him. "Roam, wait!"Roam paused and looked at me, his expression was still serious as if none of this should be taken lightly anymore.I balled my fists and went to him without breaking our gaze. When I reached his side, I breathed out my hesitation and held him by his arm. His gaze drifted to my hand but I ju

    Chapter 23"YOU WILL find out everything soon, I promise." Roam stood up and offered me his hand. "Your mother will tell you herself."Roam's words confused me even more. How could he say that? My mother died before. If she didn't then... I don't know anymore if I could forgive her for leaving us. I suffered since the day she left. Pain consumed me until the only way left for me to escape it was making myself believe she would never return anymore.My chest tightened as I looked at Roam's hand. I didn't want to believe that my mom was still alive because if she was, then that means I would end up hating her. I don't want that. My mother was too perfect in my memories.I took in some air and shook my head, my emotions were beginning to suffocate me already. "No. Mom died when I was young.""She didn't, but your father is blaming me for what happened. That's why he was hunting me down. That's why he joined the hunters in the first place

    Chapter 22RoamSYD WATCHED the door shut behind him before he let out the suffocating air in his lungs. He sat on the same spot where Jemimah was earlier, and with the way his jaw clenched, I could tell he was not happy."What? Change of plans, Uncle?" he asked with the tone I didn't like at all.My fists clenched on my sides as I narrowed my eyes at my nephew. This wasn't the Syril Dawson I left in Esmeray. He was compassionate, respectful, and lively. Even the cheerful glow in his green eyes were gone, and all I could see was a total stranger.I heaved a sigh. "You know I loved Halia."He laughed, a mocking one as he shook his head in disappointment. "How sure are you even that she's really Luna Halia, hmm?"With my eyes piercing at him, my arms folded in front of my chest. "I know. It's not that hard to tell. My heart is too familiar with her soul for me not to know she's the one I once lost.""You mean the ve
