Rebekah smiled. Her face was showing half-crying and half-smiling. Tears were racing down her cheeks. Ashdod seemed to be giving her new hope. A new reason to pursue a happy life despite circumstances.They started to date. Their everyday lives became exciting as they enjoyed each other’s company. They were together almost the whole day, but they still longed for the next day to arrive and spend another day together. A year passed. Another year came, and the two decided to tie the knot. Their wedding was set according to Rebekah’s choice of date. She asked for a garden wedding a month before the first harvest of their vineyard.It was a grand celebration, but only a few chosen friends were invited aside from the people that worked for the Blacks. There were already a few hundred attendees, including their families, so Rebek
Ashdod was not complaining. He enjoys everything they do in bed, and even though lately he had to fake his orgasm and release behind Rebekah's back with the warmth of his own hands, Ashdod did not mind. He has his wife right next to him. He knew their current situation would get better. And he is looking forward to the brighter days in their married life.Until Rebekah caught him doing so.She felt so devastated and incompetent to be Ashdod's wife. The deceiving thoughts of her becoming more worthless as a wife and the frustrating realization that she can't even bear a child normally and properly like every married woman is expected to affected her health in so many ways as depression became overwhelming despite her eagerness to stay positive. Rebekah blamed herself for all the shortcomings and disappointments she had been as a wife, daughter, and grandda
“Now I know why this place is called mystical!” Rebekah exclaimed as she smiled joyfully. She turned her face to look at her husband. “I love this place, honey…!”Ashdod felt his eyes mist as it had been so long since he last saw his wife smiled as serene as how he could see her right at the moment. He walked close to his wife and hugged her from her back as they both reveled at the night beauty they could see. The moonlight was so bright that they only noticed it now after the car’s headlights were turned off along with its engine. The trees were like artificial Christmas trees on a yuletide season where tiny lights are twinkling around them, but this time, it was the rarely seen in the cities, even in their farm and vineyards, because the lights were from nature; the fireflies! “So beautiful…” Ashdod was equally enthralled at the inexplicable magnificence of the surroundings. “Is that a trail I see…?” he asked in wonder as he saw a pathway illuminated by the fireflies as if leadin
“I am only trying to return the love you have been so selflessly giving me all this time,” Rebekah replied as she slowly stripped her clothes off of her right before her husband’s heated gaze. “I love the people you love. I value everything you value, although I am sure sometimes I disappoint you in many ways than I could ever count. One is failing to provide you a child, and the second is wishing I’d be gone so you could start anew, but I want to tell you that it’s also because I love you so much that I am doing all of those stupid thoughts….” Rebekah chuckled softly. “Heaven knows how much I want to stay beside you. I greed to feel more of your sweet love. I used to think I could risk everything in me, even my life, just to have a child for you. But I also realized I would be giving you a miserable life if I leave you behind with responsibility only a mother could provide.”Ashdod stood there watching his wife with so much adoration in his eyes. He could feel tears rolling down his
Rebekah and Ashdod spent a lovely night, or maybe the loveliest among all they had ever shared in their entire married lives. From the waterfalls, where they spent almost a few hours soaking in the water. They made love and snuggled still in the mystical waterfall with the sparkling lights from the tiny flying creatures that had been their company the whole time. Only to make love again, next to the falling water where Rebekah leaned her body, front then back, on the rock as Ashdod made love to her with so much passion. Only soft moans and groans left their lips as they express the sweet sensation they felt out of their passionate oneness with nature surrounding them. The couple was in no hurry or distress as they proved their adoration for each other. Rather, their hearts were desperately trying and doing their very best to convey the purity and sincerity of their claimed and declared love. “I love you so much…” Ashdod softly stated as they swim from the side rocks where the water
“Honey, I am willing to submit to whatever you decide we do, except for the wish being granted,” Rebekah made her words clear for Ashdod to hear. “Let’s ask our health advisers what to do,” Ashdod replied. “And thank you…”Ashdod could not verbally express his gratitude that Rebekah was so considerate as to decline the wish being granted knowing someone had to pay for it. He was not sure he could argue with Rebekah about it had she said she was willing to pursue the wish being granted despite what needed to be given back in return for it. He was feeling too emotional that his wife was so sensible and indeed kind-hearted.“Your family is also mine. If you lose any one of them, it is the same with me. So, I didn’t just do it for you, honey,” Rebekah playfully answered. “It might be the case, but I still want to say thank you. I owe you so much with so many things,” the husband reached his hand to caress the wife’s face. “And I love you more… I even think I am drawing in your love…” As
The child Rebekah and Ashdod had found on the side road turned out to be a boy as they changed his nappies. It remained a puzzle for the couple that no matter how they tried to look around, they did not find any person who would have been looking for their child missing. The couple did not do more than look around to find the possible parents of the child. They also feared being fooled by people who would falsely claim as the child’s parents. Or even finding the biological parents and sending the baby back to those who had once abandoned him already. Ashdod and Rebekah were not familiar with the place, the area, and anything about this part of the map was a place they had only been because the navigation system was set to take them there, and all they had to do was punch in their home address to get back. “We cannot be sure if we would be doing the right thing to return this child to his parents only to be abandoned again. What if the next person to find him would not care the way
“Mom, I’m at the shop now. Did you want me to buy just scented candles?” Lexy asked her mom over the phone. Alona was surprised to see the caller id showed it was her daughter’s name and phone number as to how she had saved her contact info in her phonebook. She was sure Lexy had told her that the young lady had lost her phone due to what happened last night on her way to Marlyn’s place. “Honey, didn’t you say you need to buy a new phone because someone smashed your phone to the ground?” Alona asked back instead of answering Lexy’s question. “Ahhh, yeah, I did say that,” Lexy chuckled, then she continued. “I met Marlyn today, and when he heard about what happened to his neighborhood last night, he called my number to make sure I was safe, and the person who found my phone answered his call. They met, and Marlyn got my phone to give me back. So, I have it with me now. And not broken like it wasn’t smashed anywhere on the ground,” Lexy cheerfully told her mom in full detail. Alona j
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
