Jemimah
I NOTICED Roam was thinking too deeply while he was outside by the porch, drinking a bottle of whisky... again.
My sleepy eyes blinked until my vision went vivid. Miss Elizabeth was sleeping next to me on the bed so I moved carefully until I was able to get on my feet. Roam didn't seem to notice that I was awake. His eyes were staring blankly at the starless sky while his inky brows were almost meeting.
I hugged myself as the night time breeze soothed through my skin. My shoulder leaned against the door frame. "Why are you still up?" I asked.
He looked at me, his face suddenly relaxed as if I saved him from getting drowned with his own thoughts. He rubbed his palm on his face before he faced his body towards me. "Shouldn't I be asking you that? Did I wake you up?"
I shook my head before my gaze drifted towards the halfway empty bottle in his hand. "You always drink, Roam. That's bad for your health, you know."<

Chapter 21MY LEGS FELT NUMB after almost an hour walk. We had to travel for like four hours by car because Roam's nephew finally agreed to meet him and Izzy. Left with no choice, I had to come along since it wasn't safe to stay in the house on my own.The group Syd was said to be joining had rogue wolf members now. Even when vampires wouldn't be able to get in without proper invitation, the wolves could. They just have to drag me out and the vampires could feast on me easily.Roam must have noticed my tiredness. He anchored his arm on my shoulders and pulled me gently to his chest. "I can carry you on my back if you can't walk anymore."Touched by his concern, I looked up and gave him a smile. "I'm fine but thanks."He gave my arm a gentle squeeze after he pecked a kiss on my head. "Don't worry, we're almost there."I jerked my head in response before I gazed at Izzy who didn't seem so much of himself today. He was surprisingly quiet the wh

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

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 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 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 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 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.

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

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
