Lexy bit her lips. She was not satisfied with his answer. She was expecting he would say more than what he just said. But as he seemed he had said what he wanted to say, Lexy asked for his reasons. “Why?” “Because I am for you as you are for me?” Ethan replied without any hesitation. His words arrived in Lexy’s ears with exceeding confidence and less emotion. It was like cold water that poured down on Lexy and woke her sleepy mind up. She felt like stupid to open her feelings too soon to him. She had always been cautious not to fall for men recklessly. She thought teenage boys were foolish to get into relationships with as they were too childish, so she preferred mature men. But now that she was in the arms of one, she realized she was not ready to play mature men’s games. Lexy did not know if she should believe him or not. In the realistic world, does this man really exist? Or is he luring her to anything? She felt scared. She tried to think of something to test the man. “Ethan
Ethan called for a cab through an app he trusted. He gave all info details about the ride Lexy should be riding home written in a piece of paper.“You must have dropped the phone in the alley earlier,” Ethan said as he handed Lexy the memo paper. “This is the cab’s plate number and in case you have any complaints, this is their service hotline.”Lexy realized she had no phone with her. And as he heard the man’s words, she recalled trying to press on her speed dial when one of the guys grabbed her phone.“Yeah, one of those idiots smashed my phone to the ground without mercy,” Lexy pouted in annoyance. “I hope to find it and get the important data stored in it.”“I’m sure you’ll find it,” Ethan gently assured Lexy. “I really hope so,” Lexy sighed, then she started to walk out of the room. “I should get going.”“Do you mind if I send you to your ride?” Ethan pleaded. “At least, let me speak to the driver and make sure you reach home safely, please?”Lexy nodded. “That would be great,
“Human! Not all who use magic are witches. And not only witches can use magic. They can give it to anyone for something in return,” Aldric scolded Ethan for his random silly questions. “What?! What do you mean?” Ethan was still confused. He understood the part that not all who use magic are witches but he was asking about Lexy’s possible identity; her supernatural one. “That she might be a witch but she might also be not,” Aldric replied. “But if they are aware of this magic protecting their entire place. They must know something about the supernatural world and creatures in it.”Aldric continued. He could not smell her scent but Aldric could still see a blurry vision passing through the shield with his intense persuasion. The Lycan saw his mate walk into the kitchen, no one was present in the whole area downstairs. She drank something from the refrigerator right in front of its opened door and walked to the stairs, climbed on it, and got inside a room. “It must be her bedroom,” A
Ethan tried to recall everything about the conversation he had with his baby girl. But no matter how hard he tried, he could not seem to recall and realize anything that could have made Lexy feel any kind of fear about him. “Can you tell me what you think there could ever be the reason she had a sudden change of mood?” Ethan whined to Aldric like a little boy. “Didn’t she say she even had to move away from the city for a while so she won’t run to me, afraid I would not feel the same longing she had for me?” Ethan continued. Aldric also fell into deep thoughts. “But no matter how I want to recall which part of our conversation did she start to change her mood, I cannot point it out and analyze what exactly did I say to upset my baby girl,” Ethan groaned. Aldric scoffed. But the Lycan did not say anything. He was still annoyed that this human would blabber words upsetting their mate. After a while, Ethan gave up thinking about it and decided to move on for now. “I will ask
“Hello?” Ethan spoke louder. Marlyn was startled to hear a man’s voice answering his best friend Lexy’s phone. He stopped blabbering and spoke to the person on the other line with extreme anxiousness and hesitations. He moved the phone away from his ear and checked on its screen. “Did I dial a wrong number?” Marlyn murmured. Yet, his words reached Ethan’s ears without difficulty. But as if Ethan did not hear anything, he continued. “Hello?” Ethan said. Marlyn confirmed he dialed the right number, but he heard a manly voice speaking on the line, confirming his doubts that he had heard a voice different from his best friend’s. Marlyn’s fear magnified. “Uhhhhmmm… Hi!” Marlyn summoned his courage. “Who are you?” Ethan asked with an icy cold, stern tone. He could not deny the fact that he was too upset toward this caller with a name that seemed too intimate for Ethan on his Baby Girl’s phone book list. “Ahhhmmmm, I would like to speak to my friend Lexy. Is she with you?” Marl
“Yes?” Ethan was still holding the phone in his hand as he continued to wipe it carefully with the handkerchief he had in his hand, so he was able to answer the call even before the first ring ended. “May I ask who I am to find when I arrive at the door to ask for you?” Marlyn asked sheepishly. “I just realized I forgot to ask your name, sir….” “Just look for Ethan Black. They will lead you to me,” Ethan answered patiently. “Ethan Black, okay. Got it. I will be right there soon, Mister Black. Thank you,” Marlyn wrote a memo on a paper on his desk. If anything happens, his family would know where he last went that night and why. “I’m being paranoid,” Marlyn tapped his forehead as he hurriedly wrote his note down and called for a cab through an app he
“I have seen you here with your friend before….” Ethan casually started a conversation. He wanted to make Marlyn as comfortable around him as possible. “I heard you own this place… And that’s quite impressive… you must be pretty rich,” Marlyn was still a bit cautious, but he could also feel the good intentions in the guy, Ethan Black, as he seemed to speak without intimidating him in the process. “Well, the liquor business had been in my family for years, but the club was my first business with everything of my talents, and the invested amount was the earnings I got from working as a paid intern on my dad’s research team as the quality control manager for a year,” Ethan shared without hesitations. Marlyn was taken aback. He did not expect Ethan to give so much detail about his life and achievements. It made him think. “He is not the kind of man who would keep a girl captive. He couldn’t have Lexy with him, right?” Marlyn thought. He looked around. His eyes were searching for a
“Yeah… We’re almost like a family….” Marlyn answered casually, but he paused so suddenly. Marlyn realized he seemed to be telling so many things to this stranger. He restrained his tongue from blabbering. Marlyn bit his cheeks from inside his mouth. And scolded himself for being an idiot. Marlyn reminded himself of what reasons were he in the place right now. “Can I have my friend’s phone now?” Marlyn asked. He tried to hide his fear, and he thought he had managed to do so, but Ethan clearly noticed. “I won’t keep you too long in here, but can I offer you a ride home. I still have so many things to ask you about my baby girl, but it’s our first meeting. I don’t want to scare you,” Ethan said in his friendliest manner. “I would love to ask for your advice, suggestions, and anything to win my baby girl's heart," Ethan sounded desperate. “If you are honest with your intentions, I hope you understand that I will have to ask my friend about her opinion regarding the matter,” Marlyn sp
Soon after, Eula became ill. But she refused to recuperate and claimed she wished nature to take her as soon as possible, so she could join her son in the afterlife. As per Eula’s request, they did not insist she get treated but Aquila stood right by her side to make sure she did not suffer so much pain before she took her last breath. When Eula died, a vision appeared to Lexy saying that since Mauricio died without descendants, Borasco would soon be reborn to live a life he was promised by the Moon Goddess. It made Ethan and Lexy feel relieved to realize that fate had been guiding them all along. Things seemed to happen for their reason. Every dot found its lines and connected every event to realize whatever message they were brought forth. Aquila and Lisbon remained in the Kingdom to serve the King and Queen who promised to take over the throne officially when Lexy finishes her studies. And they now have a family of their own with triplets of two girls and one boy. They realized
The young couple did not dally. While the rest of the graduates were heading to restaurants with their family and loved ones to celebrate their graduations, Ethan and Lexy were heading to the hospital to see the obstetrician who assisted her during her first pregnancy more than two years ago. A doctor Freya Smith had introduced to them. “Babe, why didn’t we know if you are pregnant like Axel had said?” Ethan asked in disbelief as he drove the car to Doctor Naomi Vitto’s clinic. “I might have been so preoccupied with my studies that I did not seem to feel anything weird,” Lexy answered weakly. “I’m so sorry, Babe. But have you noticed anything new about me? I mean you have seen how tough it was for me, for us, when I have Axel, right?” Ethan fell into deep thought when he stopped at a red light and waited for the light to turn green. “If I am to compare what I thought I noticed new about you to what I have seen you’ve been through while having your first trimester with Axel, I can’
“Congratulations, babe!” “Congratulations, babe! Yay!!!! We made it!” Marlyn yelled excitedly as he embraced and lifted Lexy joyfully, only to sheepishly smile and apologized when he heard a growling man not so far away. Marlyn graduated from their four-year degree courses earlier than Lexy, but their friendship grew deeper as the years went by. Even if Marlyn was now practicing his profession by being the local vet in their town, he did not cut ties with Lexy, and with the Roberts family. He was there at every event that was celebrated in the Roberts family’s lives. Even that day Lexy met her parents after being in a coma state and after the wars which they had won against the rogues and the vampires. It turned out Alona was in the kitchen, not because she was preparing food, but because she had to let the Blacks know that the young couple had shown up and that the Blacks should come over to the Roberts to settle things as they have excitedly planned while waiting for Lexy and Eth
The family of three almost forgot that there was someone else beside them standing and with a mixture of an awkward and warm smile sporting his face, he sure looked like he did not mind being left behind. Ethan could feel the exact same emotion Lexy had in her heart so the man, as well as his lycan, knew their girl was just so caught up between the overwhelming joy of reuniting with her parents and the unspeakable relief that they were finally back from the land of the in-between. “Oh, what are we doing here at the door?” Alona asked while sniffling and chuckling. “We are also being so mean to our guest over here,” she added while wiping the tears on her face and fanned it with her hands as if drying her wet in tears face and smiled at Ethan kindly. “Lexy, sweetie….” the mother spoke gently to remind her daughter that she came with someone and the young lady seemed to have forgotten. Lexy let go of her embrace of her parents and stepped back to stand with Ethan. She clasped her hand
“I will also do my best to only let your tears fall out of joy in this lifetime and to the next. It might be challenging, but I will deal with it. I know I have so much to learn about being a man to a woman, a husband to a wife, a son to parents, or a father to a son or a daughter, or both and more, but I promise you, Alexandra Roberts Black, that with all my heart and soul, human and Lycan, every breath and every moment of my life, I will only love you and everyone you love. Your friends will be my friends, whoever you claim as your family will be mine to cherish and protect as well,” Ethan kneeled before Lexy who was now smiling and crying at the same time, nodding and sniffing, eyes blurred but floating in cloud nine because she could feel from every fiber of her being how sincere, true and utterly heartfelt were Ethan’s words. Lexy swallowed her spit, cleared her throat, and took a few big and deep breaths to calm herself. “You make me so happy….” Lexy said after a sniff. “So, v
Lexy felt excited to hear Ethan say they were about to see her parents. She did not avoid his offered bite of food from the tray he carried all the way up to their bedroom from the kitchen downstairs. Lexy did not let the man feed her alone, she also picked the spoon on the side of the tray and fed him. “I’d love to wake up with you like this every morning,” Ethan said with a beaming smile on his face as he wiped the smear of food on the side of Lexy’s lips. “Thank you, babe….”While Ethan was staying with Lexy to have their breakfast, Aldric told the two that he will be busy checking the surroundings on his own. It was a way for Aldric to keep in touch with the rest of the lycans in the palace to keep an eye on various things that he sees fit to give his attention to. He would raise his mind link barrier for his human not to get bothered with anything unnecessary and attend to their girl and mate. “Nah, I want a different way of expressing gratitude. But since we are going to see m
“Do you think it was a good idea?” Lexy asked as they luxuriate in the romantic privacy of their home. The couple found a very lovely spot in the forest overlooking the palace within the realm of the Lycan Kingdom. They both gave in to the idea of how they wanted the house built and they even made the house all by themselves as they both did not want their lovely nest to be known by anyone else. “I want to believe it is. Because with that strategy, I can spend time with you alone like this without the constant My King and My Queen here and there, Your Highness and Your Majesty any moment of the day. Ughhh! That just feels so bothersome when I can have you all for and all by myself, and likewise, you can have me and your mate all of the time!” Ethan answered as he attacked Lexy with tickles and kisses in her clothed with a seductive nighties’ body. “Ahhhhhhhh! Babe!?” Lexy shrieked as she felt the tickles run all over her body from the tip of her toes to the roots of her hair due to
A lot of them raised their hand. They were crying silently but heartbreakingly. Some of them killed their loved ones in order to respond to the nature of thirst for blood they felt the very first moment they were turned into vampires. Some were parents to their children and vice versa. One was a mother to her child, while others were a lover, a friend, a spouse, and many more. And their body still recognizes these grave mistakes that they could not help mourning deep within them. A part of them was still grieving, but they were sent to an unknown place to kill everyone in it, promising more blood to satiate their hunger, and they were like mad bulls who dived into the task without even the ability to check if what they were going to do would be safe or not. Lexy and Ethan were able to hear the cries of their silently weeping hearts. “Do you want to end this curse in your life?” Ethan asked. Ethan explained that their body was already dead, and there was no way they could turn back
The war ended with a glorious victory for the Lycan Kingdom. The High Priestess Aquila did not see miss witnessing what happened in the thick forest between the royal couple Lycan King and the young Grand White Witch. She just realized how protectively secured her spot was when she herself could not step out of the shield which was covering her concealed, unseen, and unnoticed by the vampires surrounding them. Aquila was astonished to realize that even with how high rankers the vampires that they were dealing with were, they failed to notice their presence until the couple showed themselves. And even though she was not as powerful as the young white witch was, they failed to detect her presence among them although she was not even another tree afar from where they had gathered to attack the King all at once. When they tried to overwhelm the Lycan King with their number, they approach and gather around one tree and but they realize it was not wise to do so as the lycan could, the vam
