“Your so-called husband is so bitter, Lory. I don’t like that arrogant alpha,” Jaxon said so blatantly.“Likewise, beta.” Calix then held my waist. “We should get going now, Lory, or else we will be late on our flight.”“Right. We’ll go now, Jax.”“I suppose you will be back soon? Even though I don’t like your smell now and your husband, you are still my friend and I want to hangout with you.”“Yes, we will be back soon.”Jaxon’s forehead creased as if he was confused by something. “We? What do you mean by that? Don’t tell me…” His dark gaze dropped to Calix and I guess I knew what that look meant. Though before I can open my mouth for my answer, Calix was quicker. He spoke first.“Yes, we will go back. We. I will be staying with my wife wherever she is. Do you have a problem with that?” Calix retorted in an arrogant tone.Jaxon’s jaw clenched as if the news he received was really bad.“In Doris’ house? Seriously, Lory? You would let someone as dangerous as him stay close to your mom?
I bit my lower lip looking at how shocked Mom was when Calix told him that we are getting married. If she had known that I already married Calix without her and Dad's consent, for sure she had collapsed.I stared at my Mom's pale face and waited for her reaction. I smiled a little. If I had known, she would have slapped me once or did something if only Landon wasn't there. Not that she's against of me marrying, but this sudden marriage surely shocked her to the bones that she couldn't speak right away.I held her hand to calm her down. I chuckled and looked at Calix who was just staring at the both of us, very calm and composed as if this would not shake his plans of marrying me again and nothing can.I know Calix doesn't really want to marry me again and again, but his poor ass can't just stand having the boyfriend title. He wants to be acknowledge by my parents as my husband and not just a freaking boytoy I put up with after my disastrous break up with Simon. He's obsessed with that
"Huh! And you have the guts to threaten someone in the middle of Washington streets? What the hell is this, Lory? You will marry this kind of person? You got to be kidding me!"I shut my eyes and tried to control my temper. They are both at the edge. I have to remain calm at least."Well, at least he won't marry a cheater. I suppose Lory prefers a man like me than a man like you," said Calix."I didn't mean to cheat on her! It was a mistake, Lory. It was just a freaking mistake and it was because of Natalia's doings…" Theo tried to convimce me but I don't think that issue is still relevant now. I don't care about it anymore and I thought he had already moved on too, so I don't know why he is bringing it up now. The case was long over and closed. I don't want to talk about it anymore."Enough, you two!" I glared at them. My gaze stopped at Theo. "Look, Theo. I don't know why you're bringing this up, but I'm all over it now. I got a new life and I don't care about the past anymore. I co
"I am sorry," was all I could say."But I am your mate.""I don't know anymore, Simon. I don't know how it happened… it just did. I know you might be thinking that I'm only confused. But to be honest, I'm not. I am very much sane and I do know what I'm feeling. I love Calix and what I feel is pure and very true. I love him with all my heart, Simon."He didn't say anything. He just suddenly vanished in the dark and I was left there standing and full of unspoken emotions and unshed tears.~*~*~"I'm going now, Lory. Your breakfast is in the table," I heard Michelle outside my room but I didn't say anything so she would think I'm still asleep. Not so long, I heard her footsteps away and then her car's engine starting outside.I sighed when I finally had the chance to breathe. I rolled on my bed and stared at the ceiling for minutes – which seemed like years. I wanted to think that my confrontation with Simon last night was only a dream. But I know that is impossible because since he left
The weeks I spent with Calix after our second wedding felt like the happiest moments of my life. I was afraid though. It was ironic that I felt afraid in the middle of happiness, but I guess it really goes that way. When you are too happy, you would want that moment to never end because of course people always prefer to be happy, right? That’s where the fears start. You would fear that the moment will end. And I wasn’t an exception. In the middle of my so good happiness, I got afraid that our happy moments will soon end.True enough, I realized that everything does have an ending, and that one should brace himself when he feels so much happiness because no one knows what is waiting for you after it.And on my case, I thought I already have my happy ending because that was what I felt with Calix but I was wrong. It was proven that when you are happy the most, that’s when you could become vulnerable the most. What makes someone vulnerable? Fears. The desire for happiness. Family. Love.
I’m sure if Calix was on his shoes, based on his personality, there is no doubt he would do the same. He is the type of person who is willing to sacrifice everything he has for the sake of the person he treasures the most. But then if it happened that I am in Elizabeth’s place, I don’t think I would want him to sacrifice an innocent life just so I could come back and we will be together again. I want to love him without the guilt and I know it will never be the same because every time I would look in the mirror, I cannot see myself nor think of myself. I can only see the girl I took life with. The girl who sacrificed her life for me and I can’t live that life. That is fucked up and I don’t think Alec had thought about it. Did he even think what will Elizabeth feel if she finds out that Alec took my soul so hers could take my body? If she chose to live away from him and had a normal human life, I’m sure she’s a good person and wouldn’t want to live knowing that she just stole someone e
Loraine's POVMy hands were on fists when I woke. I felt like there was something in me that was making me tremble. The images in my head are too clear, I couldn't think of any logical reason for what is happening to me. What did I see? Why did I dream about those events? And it's worth mentioning that it felt so real, that I was really there when all those things happened.What happened to this pretty head of mine? And that woman in my dream… I'm sure who she is. Nobody else looked so the same as if her face is a copycat of my own. Elizabeth. Only her.But in my dream, she wasn't around those Von Rellis. She had a family, she had her own sect. But that was impossible. Her mother Elena Ross killed herself young and her father was also said to be killed by enemies. I have no idea who took care of her but I know for sure that she had no family.But then… thinking about the possibilities. She might have been adopted by a family, only that it happened to be an influential family. But what
And if my assumption is correct, I can’t help but feel sympathy for Elizabeth. Imagine what kind of pain she had gone through. If I was on her place, I think I would do the same. How can I live a normal life anyway if I am fully aware that someone was killed because of me? And that my mate killed an innocent life because of me? The guilt and pressure will all be put on my shoulders for sure, same as what happened to Elizabeth. I couldn’t help but blame Alec’s lack of trust. If only… if only he had faith on Elizabeth’s love for her, I doubt if there love story would end up the same. But then again, we can’t turn back time so we can’t tell if things would have ended up in another way if that didn’t happen. "Lory…” Calix's lips fell apart, as if he didn’t expect this too. He was about to reach out for me, but he stopped when he saw the shackles wrapped around my wrist, and the chains around it. His eyes turned darker, then it turned to glowing gold, all while his jaw was clenched tigh
