She still had trouble excepting all the feelings he made her feel each time they touched while he relished them. He couldn’t believe he got so lucky. What did he ever deserve to get mated to a girl like her?
His eyes showed nothing but pure adoration while he stared deep into her eyes.

The first half an hour of their trip passed in silence. Henry was focused on the wavy road, and Elizabeth admired the landscapes they passed by. It was almost dusk, and she couldn’t see the sun anymore. It was hidden behind the mountain now. “Sooo,” she started. “Why did we leave in such a rush?” she pressed again. Henry sighed, and it looked like he doesn’t want to answer but still spoke reluctantly: “Some 50 years ago, there was a war in the supernatural world... many of the exiled wolves from all around the States gathered intending to destroy the system that exists and which packs live by. They wanted their revenge for being kicked out, some of them out of pure evilness, wanting carnage and blood and destruction... they had help from some other creatures that didn’t want to follow the code anymore, the code of secrecy that we all follow. Despised witches were on their side and some vampires too, anyway, their army was strong and big, and it threatened to expose our existence to t

“Come. Let me show you around.” Henry said, taking her by the hand. On tour, Elizabeth could see that the whole apartment was modernly furnished, minimalistic too, but here she could hardly find color black anywhere. Everything was in light colors and very nicely put together.

Kate left when she finished her breakfast saying goodbye and wishing them well. “Well, she's something...” Elizabeth had to comment. “Yeah, a real force of nature,” Henry added: “Love, I have to go meet my lawyer and take care of some business. I should be back by nightfall.” “What kind of business?” Elizabeth was curious, even though she hated it when someone asked her these kinds of questions, now she couldn’t help herself but ask. “I want to buy that apartment of yours, and also I have to see my broker and my accountant...” “What exactly is it that you do for life?” it was about time for her to ask that. She realized that she knew so little about him. “We can talk about that at dinner. I’ll make reservations for 8 o’clock. Would that be ok? I want to take you on a proper date tonight,” his lips turned upwards. “Oh, ok, sure. I’d like that.” She smiled. Henry went to his office and came back within a minute. Taking her hand, he turned her palm upwards and put something cold i

“Love, what is it?” Henry was worried. He didn’t like her facial expression at all. When she didn’t answer but just looked straight ahead, Henry sped up and parked the car in the garage, went around, and opened her door. Putting his hands on her shoulders, he turned her around and asked again if she is ok. Elizabeth gave him his phone wordlessly.

“Ugh.” Elizabeth groaned the next morning. She hated hangovers and promised herself not to drink too much again every time she suffered from one of those, but she keeps on forgetting. Sun was too bright, and the noises from the street were too loud. How did she hear the noises from the street when she was so high up the building?

“Elizabeth, what is this man saying? This is absurd!” Angela, Elizabeth’s mother, looked like she was going to faint, or she faked it pretty well. “That can’t be! I don’t accept this!” Andrew, her father, yelled through his clenched teeth. Elizabeth was about to say something but Henry’s hand that squeezed hers stopped her. “Whether you accept it or not, it doesn’t change the fact that Elizabeth and I are soon to be married.” Henry gave a slight roar to his voice. “This is preposterous!” the guy sitting at the table voiced for the first time. “And who are you?” Henry directed his look full of disgust towards him. “He is our new business partner, and he is going to marry Elizabeth,” Andrew answered proudly. Henry was taken aback for a second. He definitely didn’t expect something like this. He turned his head to look Elizabeth in the eyes. “Are they serious? Tell me they are not serious,” he demanded, but the stern look in them told him the exact opposite. What none of the pres

With the early sun on Sunday morning, Elizabeth was in the kitchen of Henry’s apartment preparing breakfast while he was still fast asleep. She was wearing only Henry’s shirt that he had on yesterday before he discarded it and threw it on the bedroom floor. It was the first thing that she found when she got up, so she put it on, buttoning it up on the way to the stove. Every now and then, she would

Sarah was running as fast as she could. She was breathless, scared shitless, and on top of all, she was lost. She didn't know where she was or where she was going. The only thing she knew was she had to get to the river bank. From there, she will be able to orient easily. It was way past midnight, and no, she wasn't lost in the woods. She was lost in the maze of narrow streets of The old town of Rome created. Everything looked the same, and behind every corner, there was another narrow and dark street. She hasn't seen a living person in a while, and every door she passed by was locked. All of the cafés and restaurants she passed by were closed long ago. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! She was being followed, for hours probably, but she noticed it too late for her own good.And now she was running through dark and deserted streets with someone tailing her. Their footsteps were getting too loud and too close, and Sarah knew she wouldn't be able t

"Surprise!" a cheerful shout startled Adaline when she opened the door of her home. Elizabeth stood in front of her holding both kids in her arms. Victoria and William spread their arms in unison, reaching for their grandmother, and she wasted no more time but took them both at the same time from Elizabeth and brought them inside the mansion. Elizabeth followed behind, pulling one suitcase with her. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming?" Adaline asked in between, blowing raspberries on the kids' necks that made them giggle each and every time. "Then it wouldn't be a surprise, would it," Elizabeth answered with a smile and took a suitcase upstairs to a room that was reserved for her and Henry at all times. "Where's Henry?" Adaline questioned once Elizabeth came back downstairs. "He has some business in town, so we decided while he's with Ethan to come to spend some time wi

"Hey, love. What are you reading there?" Henry came in carrying some firewood in his arms.It was the middle of January, and it was cold outside, so Henry made sure to bring in enough wood to feed the fire in the fireplace in front of which Elizabeth spent most of her time. Elizabeth rarely went out these days because the snow was too high. It reached her waist, so she wouldn't stroll too far from the house.Elizabeth raised her gaze to look at Henry. She still had moments when she would wonder what she did to deserve someone like Henry."Just some old history book I borrowed from Richard's library. I'm trying to learn as much as I can about dragons before, you know… and I still can't believe how big that place is! Richard has an impressive collection of books, and most of them are about supernatural topics. One would need a lifetime to go through all of them."Henry put the firewood in the basket next to the fireplace and moved to sit behind Elizabeth. She leaned on him

Elizabeth and Henry spent Christmas and New Year’s Eve with the family, all gathered in the manor. They celebrated traditional human holidays because of Anna, Elizabeth, and Sarah since the rest of them were of other species and religion altogether, but either way, sharing gifts and spending time together was a reason enough for all of them to participate. The rest of the time, Henry and Elizabeth s

Days went by turning into weeks, and two months passed like a blink of an eye since the whole ordeal that caused the destruction of the cottage in the mountains. It was early December when the construction crew left the site, and only the interior designer was left there to do some final touch-ups. During these two months, Henry made only two short trips to the site to see for himself how things wer

“She’s beautiful,” Elizabeth spoke in the softest possible voice while she held baby Amanda in her arms, looking at her small, chubby face. The baby was looking right back at her with a curious expression on her little face like she was assessing her. Elizabeth never had experience with babies, but she was sure that they were not supposed to act so maturely when they’re only a couple of days old. “Y

“What are we going to do? Where are we going to live? When are we going to tell everyone? How are we going to tell everyone?” Elizabeth had a thousand questions, and Henry laughed. “Love, we’ll figure it out. We have time,” he said softly, hugging her and planting a chaste kiss on her forehead. Since Henry had no intention of letting Elizabeth cook for him now, they ordered lunch to be delivered, and they stayed in bed cuddling while it arrived. “I was thinking of hiring a construction crew to build a new house on the same spot. I have always loved that place and the peace up there...” “That would be amazing! But I have a request or two...” Elizabeth quickly agreed with a dreamy look on her face, already imagining them living there. “Anything you want, love.” “A fireplace! I always wanted one, and I bet the next winter would be a snowy one up there. Oh, and a guest room... in case we have visitors sometimes. More windows would be nice, and maybe a back garden. And when I think of

“That’s not possible,” Henry said in a low voice, and Elizabeth felt his hands that she was still holding in hers suddenly went cold. They were silent for a while, each in their own thoughts. Elizabeth accepted the possibility of what she just said actually being the truth, and Henry… well, he wasn’t thinking about much right now. He was trying to wrap his head around what he just heard, but he was failing. “I thought so too, but that guy, the third one, he was so sure of it that he planned what to do with the money once the baby is born and he sold it,” bitterness colored her tone. “And Robert wanted to get rid of it first thing after they were supposed to kill you…” she was now speaking very fast. “And they said that I, and I quote here, reek of pregnancy hormones… I didn’t want to believe it at first because I don’t feel any different, but now that I think about it… I did miss two of my last periods, and that had never happened before,” her voice trailed off at the end.
