Shannon"Shannon! I heard we were going on a double date!" I was startled by Nora's energetic voice coming suddenly behind me."Eh, yeah, did Adonis tell you that already?" I asked, feigning ignorance.The truth was, I didn't know how to face Nora ever since I found out about Adonis and the other wo
The silence was palpable in the air. I tried my best to ignore it but it was making me feel uneasy. Sensing my tension, Vernon put his hand on my kneels."Are you okay?" He asked in a gentle voice, but I was sure Adonis and Nora could hear him clearly, after all, we were in the same car."Yeah, just
VernonSurely I must have heard her wrong. Why would Shannon ask to sleep in the same tent with her friend? The point of this trip was to spend time with her."No, why would you do that?" I asked her."I..."Her expression changed and she was holding something in. What was she hiding?"You are actin
Adonis was teaching Nora how to fish not far away as well. They really looked cute together, just like Shannon and I. Adonis was helping Nora with her bait with a gentle smile on his face, he looked like he was really enjoying himself. And Nora was watching his every move carefully. All they could s
ShannonI was awoken by a soft bird chirping. There was something special about waking up in nature. Everything felt so fresh even though I was only in a tent. The sound of running water, the fresh air that came with the wind, and the heat natural sunlight brought, were so refreshing.This was the p
After about 2 and a half hours of hiking, we finally reached the top. It was exactly like Adonis said, I wasn't exhausted from the hiking, and I guessed I wouldn't be when we climbed down the mountain.The view was just, stunning.When looking down, I could see the small stream and waterfall from th
Shannon"You should be fine after a few days of rest, don't tire yourself too much, okay?" The Pack doctor said as she checked my ankle for the last time.I nodded, and facing me were Vernon, Adonis, Nora, and the Pack Doctor. I could feel their gazes were all on me, I was a little afraid of lifting
"No, it's not important at all. It's just a condition that came with living here." I teased him back."It's that right? Then you wouldn't mind doing something unimportant with me here, right?" He asked, but his hand was slowly moving to some dangerous water."Here? You didn't even lock the door. Ado
ShannonThe ride was short and magical. It was like no one even noticed a huge eagle was flying above them. Isobel said it was because she cast some spell to make the eagle invisible when flying. Such a magic girl. I could never understand her.When we landed in the familiar forest, we saw Isobel's
VernonUnfortunately, he wasn't waking soon enough to my liking. I kicked him hard in the shin hoping it would make him wake up sooner.He was shocked wide awake by the pain, I could see that he wanted to scream, but he didn't realize he was gagged at this point. Seeing him so pathetic, lying on the
VernonI wanted to go and take a look at her before I go. But I didn't trust myself to be able to go after seeing her. So I bit my tongue and held back my urges.When I loaded the last box of the supplies we needed into the RV, Adonis nudged me."Go, I see you eyeing her room all night."He said as
ShannonSince the game room was more like an individual room in the middle of the yard, we were actually standing in the open.The first thing I noticed was a huge shadow flying over us, it was just a dark cloud was suddenly roaming over us. The second thing I noticed was the voice, it was chirping,
Chapter 115Shannon"I know. But how are you going to do that? If you don't have the secret weapon, you will need all the help you could use."He seemed to be considering what I just said."Yes, but I really don't want to risk you, and that little girl. If you are not going to Arthur's, where do you
Shannon"What do you mean it will need a lot of my blood?""You said it yourself, you need one drop of your blood to light up the rock. But the treasure land is a land. You will need to spill all your blood and maybe some more to get the treasure to unlock. Are you okay with this?"I didn't know. I
VernonI knew my decision not to tell her that my father was the one who made her an orphan would come and bite me in the ass later.But I never expected that the truth would be slapped on her face like this. By a strange guy who was allegedly supposed to be her husband.All I noticed was that I saw
ShannonI said okay because I already saw Adonis standing behind him. Adonis was a little taller than Jayde. I pretended to pick up Isabella and walked over, but no more than two steps, I saw Adonis put him into a headlock.Hugo pushed back and Adonis dropped the knife. I set Isabella down and immed
ShannonBefore I could ask out loud, Vernon was the first to speak."What do you mean gone?""I wanted to check on him after I woke up, and when we walked to the closet, he was already gone..."Fuck, we underestimated him. I remembered we checked on him last night, and that meant at some point last
