"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
“While I was in Alec’s manor, I discovered something,” I told Calix while I was leaning on his chest after our heated lovemaking. It was when I had the time to talk about what happened in the manor. I never had the chance earlier because I was too busy dealing with how badly I missed Lucius and all I just wanted was for him to touch and kiss me. who can blame me anyway? We were just done with our second and the real wedding, and we were in the middle of our honeymoon but Alec ruined it all, imprisoned me at his goddamn manor and put me chained in a grand bed, disabling me from doing anything for the whole eleven days. Can you imagine how much pains I have went through within those days? One couldn’t imagine.“What did you discover?”“Elizabeth had a family.”“She had?”“Yes. She was adopted. But her adopted father did something that made her run away from home. You heard about different sects that dominated Great Britain in late 18th century? She was an heiress of an influential sect,
“Jaxon is outside,” just when Henry said that, I smelled a werewolf’s scent, Jaxon’s scent.Calix glanced at me with a darker expression. Of course he doesn’t like Jaxon. But then they are even because Jaxon feels the same. We just finished cooking pancakes and watching a football game.“I told him that you visited. He told me he is coming,” Elle went on.“When did you tell him? It’s just early in the morning.”“The boy is worried, Lory. When your honeymoon took longer than the two weeks you promised, he kept on calling me, asking for updates about you. Of course I couldn’t give him an answer since Calix would not even give me honest answers. I was really worried,” Elle said while looking at Calix sharply. I’m surprised that Calix hasn’t lose his cool over this until now. Elle has been throwing sarcasms to him for the past thirty minutes and he wasn’t even flinching about it and just accepting it without any word. Maybe it’s because she is my family? or maybe he’s just really a change
