I woke up to find his presence beside me. I was half asleep when I heard silent groans, and at first, I thought it was just a dream because it seemed like the sound was coming from the underground.But when I opened my eyes fully, I realized that it was coming from my bathroom. The lights were off. I opened the lamp at my bedside and stood up. I was already wearing new underwear.I didn’t bother to wrap myself with new clothes. I rushed into the door of my bathroom and listened to it."Knight?" I called him.I only heard groaning. My brows met each other’s."Knight, is everything okay?" I asked again.This scene reminded me of the scene that had happened before. We were way back in the restaurant when we had to call for the keys. It was the same thing. I couldn’t help but worry, thinking about that.I knocked on the door consistently. I heard the shower open and his groaning stopped again. I didn’t think twice. I used my long nail to turn the accessible lock of the door and it opened.
In life, it’s not just about a happy ending."Why did you choose to go here?" he asked me.I just smiled as I watched the vast paddy field outside. I miss this.Honestly, I didn't even know what to say to him. Was it because I preferred the tranquillity of the countryside to the hectic pace of city life?Or was it the memory that we had together way back?I held out my hand to feel the breeze. Damn, it feels like I’m in a movie. I’m at my happiest place, with the man I love driving beside me. I couldn’t ask for more."Because I want to make new memories." I said, smiling.I turned to him and saw the ghostly smile peeking out of his lips. He reached for my thigh and gently stroked it. I also smiled and looked at his hand when I suddenly realized something."Is your wound healed?" I asked in surprise because I didn’t see a cast on his wrist.His jaw hardened as he glanced at his wrist as well. He was about to remove it, but I held it to scan his wrist."Is this the injured hand? Why does
It was a great first day and night for the two of us. The next day, I became more anxious and confused as I prepared my surprise for him. I was busy calling the people involved.I escaped a call when Knight was in the shower."Are you sure you’re all set? Please don’t forget your medicine. Please.""Don’t think about me and don’t worry about me, honey. This is the day of the man you love. Thank you for including me in your celebration. "I smiled. "Dad, I want you to meet him as well. I want to get your blessing for us. ""You're going to make me cry, Athena."I got a bit emotional as well as we talked on the phone. I repeatedly reminded Dad on the call. I know I left it to Erin, but I still want Dad to be hands-on. Yes, I invited them. Even Milo and Peter. I talked to Lucas, and besides him and Amos, I don’t think there are other people who’s important to him."Alright, don’t worry about us, Athena. I’ll look after your father. " said Erin."Thank you, Erin.""Lucas said we’d arrive
"You look great, ma’am!"I looked at myself in the mirror. I briefly informed Knight that I was leaving. Actually, I left him because he’s kind of busy with some of his work as well. We have been here for almost a week. The other people also went home earlier yesterday. Amos stayed here in the rural while Lucas took Erin home again.Now I had time to tour other places. I just said goodbye to Knight and I just bought something, but I saw this parlor, so I thought of getting a haircut. I cut my hair shorter. It used to be long and beautiful every time I curled it, but now it's only up to my shoulder. There were curtain bangs, and it made my eyes stand out.I don’t know. I feel like I need a little change in myself now that I’m starting anew. I didn’t even think about whether Knight would like it. I just want to change something about myself.Life is good here. I like it because it's simple and not grand. Not chaotic and quiet. The people are not so busy, unlike in the city where there a
They left me after I had an episode of my panic attacks without me getting any relief or medication. I remember I started trembling as soon as he touched me. I gasp for breath.His evil and cold eyes are piercing into me and he seems to be having fun seeing me that way."Meshka! What are you doing? " Ulva came to him.He stood up. "Seems like this chosen human is dealing with the usual worldly, dumb, and weak human capability. "Ulva looked at me worried. She came to me and held my back. I backed away again because I didn’t want to be touched by her."What is wrong? Are you okay? "I was panting and trying to say ‘stay away’. I don’t want to buy her antics. I don’t know who these people are, so any show of concern I can’t believe. Especially with her."Leave her and bring Thomas to me. We’ll prepare for our unwanted guest who will arrive anytime now." The ‘Meshka’ one said before coming out.Ulva was left with a worried expression. She tried to touch me again, but I pushed her hand aw
--Third Person’s POV--"Damn," Knight cursed to himself as he checked the time on his laptop.It's been almost half an hour since Athena said she was close to arriving. He tried calling her but she wouldn’t answer. He can no longer focus on the work he is doing.He calmed himself, thinking she might be just enjoying her time alone."Right, calm the fvck down." He talked to himself as he tried to go back to whatever it was that he was doing.So that's what he did. He gave her a little more time and thought that she might come home soon. But after a while, he couldn't really focus on what he was doing.He was just stunned as he thought of the joy he felt. Just by imagining Athena coming home to him and cooking him meals is enough for him. Not to mention the events that have happened in the past few days. The needle doesn’t seem to sense whatever fun is going on with them. It feels like nothing could go wrong.So now, that Athena was not yet home, he had a bad feeling, just the instinct
--Third Person’s POV--It was all a blur for Athena. Knight was carrying her in a bridal style while he ran. She could see how the moon peered at the towering trees in the forest as the fast wolves ran as if chasing them.Her eyes were widening as she watched Knight’s face. The way he looked ahead, so focused on running away, and his eyes gleaming with anger and ruthlessness.She turned her head to their backs and she saw how the group of wolves were running to chase them. She couldn't believe it. It was all like a dream to her.In a large tree, someone intercepted them. A dark gray wolf that transformed into a human in her eyes. Her eyes widened. She couldn’t ’understand a thing. She couldn't believe she would be even more shocked by the events.On the other hand, Knight was so upset to see Meshka blocking their way. He could see the wound on his arm that he had made earlier. He thinks he deserves it. No one has the right to touch and intimidate the woman he loves."Let us go, Meshka
--Athena’s POV--I woke up from a long dream. The first thing I saw was the dark room where the only light that could be seen was the lamp on the table.When I looked around, I noticed Knight sitting in the single chair in this room. His legs were crossed and both of his arms were on the arm rest of the chair. His white dress shirt was tucked into his black slacks while the first three buttons were open. He looks like he just got home from work.Wait, we’re at his villa, right? Why is he in these clothes?I called him "Knight."I couldn't read the expression on his face. He appeared to have been watching me sleep since earlier.I sat and leaned into the headboard of the bed. I’m in my lingerie. I’m confused."You left a while ago?" I asked him.He stood up and walked in the direction of the bed. I stared at him and tried to read his mind. He sat on the bed and touched my face like I was a cat or something."Are you okay?" he asked me.I was dazzled by his question. Am I okay? I laughed
