“I’m so sorry for telling you all about just now,” Lexy hurriedly apologized. “It’s just that I did not want to entertain the emotions and thoughts I had for this man. I was just after losing my virginity to someone that would satisfy me. Someone who knew what to do to make me feel good and never regret doing it for the first time. I was never ready to fall blindly. I was even determined never to cross paths with him ever again.” Lexy spoke with so much sincerity. “I thought, if I myself did not talk or think about it, it would pass away like nothing or no big deal. But when I saw him again…” Lexy shook her head. “Especially when I saw how he also longed to see me, his kisses showed hunger. I thought I was alone, torturously suffering. I could not hold myself back. I closed my eyes and dived into his bottomless pit of promising embrace and everything he had to offer.” Marlyn huffed pretentiously. He was blatantly showing his dissatisfaction that his friend, his best friend, was hid
Later that night, Marlyn made a call to Ethan. “Did you happen to hear the conversation between your girl and me during lunch today?” Marlyn did not beat around the bush. He was getting ready to send the whole file, uncut, to the man on the other end of the phone call if he said he did not get the call. Marlyn was considering the man might have been busy, and answering the call during lunch break might have been difficult, so he asked casually. “Thanks, Marlyn!” Ethan expressed his gratitude as soon as he answered the call again. Ethan had been itching to call Marlyn ever since that call ended, but he kept reminding himself that he gave his words that he would wait for Lexy’s best friend to call him, not the other way around. Marlyn did not know his phone number because Ethan asked for Marlyn’s contacts before they parted last night, but Ethan made sure to send a very short message introducing he owned the number of the sender. And Marlyn was able to make that call during lunch thr
Marlyn’s words kept buzzing in Lexy’s ears the whole night and even as she attended her classes the next day, she was not able to focus on her lessons. Lexy was too excited for the morning schedules to end so lunch would arrive and she gets to meet her best friend and ask him more about what he said over the phone to Lexy last night. But something came up before she reached the cafeteria where Lexy was supposed to meet Marlyn. “Who’s that?” someone asked its companion as they walked by the hallway of the building, heading to the school restaurant. Lexy was checking her next schedules for the day, specifically the ones after lunch so she could estimate the time she was going to spend with Marlyn without being late even for a few seconds on her next class or whatever was on her itinerary. It happened yesterday when she and Marlyn neglected to notice that they had been staying too long on their lunch break as they chatted like they were still on school break. Their conversation became
Ethan did not even ask where they were going. He silently took Lexy’s lead and realized they were heading to the school cafeteria. He did not mind. Because being with his baby girl would practically do more than just fine. All that matters most was being with her. Lexy was still blushing despite pretending to be nonchalant that the attractive and eye-catching man walking beside her was the very reason her foolish heart was frantic at the moment. She tried to look cold like she would usually be, but anyone who knew Lexy well would notice the difference in her behavior compared to how she would usually do. “Is he who I think he is?” asked Dina when she noticed Lexy looking a bit off, but not in a bad way. It was even amusing to see her in such a fine kettle of fish. “Hi!” Ethan answered when Lexy did not say anything. His smile broadened recognizing the other girl’s face from the footage camera he had seen countless times before he found Lexy. Dina covered her mouth with both hands
“What would you like to have?” Ethan gently held Lexy by her left wrist and guided her to the food counter. “Anything…” Lexy answered. She tried to make her voice sound casual, although her heart was wildly pounding. She really hoped they were somewhere else where she would feel comfortable. And that meant to say, somewhere with a lesser crowd if not none. The school restaurant was just too full of people, making Lexy feel like she was constantly being watched. Well, she was right to feel that way because there were indeed sets of eyes keenly watching the two of them—a feeling Lexy had never had before. Or, if there may have been, Lexy had never noticed them. Ethan must have felt the way his baby girl was somehow uncomfortable. So he asked cautiously.“Would you like to eat somewhere else?” Lexy gathered her wits and replied in a sassy tone, covering her nervousness. “Well, my best friend said I should demand the best lunch in town from you. So…” Lexy said, feigning confidence.E
“We’re here!” Ethan announced as soon as he got the car parked next to the entrance door of the basement parking area of their building. “Where are we?” Lexy casually asked. It was in the basement, so she could not see anything to get an idea of where they could ever be. “Can I tell you later? Or at least can you make a guess as we have our lunch?” Ethan smiled genuinely as he led Lexy into the elevator to take them to a certain floor in the building. Lexy did not say anything and just shrugged her shoulders as she let the man guide her where to go. She just noticed the building was not somewhere restaurants would usually be found. She noticed the way here had some buildings around but more of industrial than commercial ones. The place did not look like a residential area either. She gave up guessing and walked along. The whole lift ride was too quiet. No one of the two, Lexy and Ethan, was saying anything. Although Ethan would occasionally ask if Lexy was alright, nothing more th
“I heard you need me to witness for my son,” Ashdod asked with a wide grin. His face looked so comical that Lexy’s feeling of awkwardness faded away.Lexy swallowed her spit, cleared her throat, and wiped the sides of her lips before she properly and politely turned her gaze to the older man who was now seated across from her as it was empty when Ashdod came back after he excused himself from the table earlier.“I am sorry to bother you, sir,” Lexy answered mannerly. “I didn’t expect he would bring me to meet his dad on our first lunch date,” she added, with her head slightly shrinking in self-consciousness.“Oh, please, don’t be,” Ashdod gleefully replied. His smile was genuinely expressed as his eyes seemed to dance along with his
Ashdod was also playing safe with Ethan, afraid his son would run to his wife for refuge after the girl left today. It might get him into a bad welcome and worse dinner at home with Rebekah, so he also defended Ethan as quickly as how he agreed with Lexy’s words.“But he just so talented that he earned so much in his job as soon as he graduated from his Uni studies,” Ashdod spoke towards the girl. “He majored in business management, but he is also a chemist in our liquor making company. And a talented one for both professions.”Ethan was flattered that his dad would say such nice words for him. It had never been a new thing as well, but whenever Ashdod would boast around his peers about how talented his son was, Ethan would usually feel awkward because Ashdod was never to speak lightly of Ethan, for the father would see things as big as a meteor rock when it was only a fist-size one in the eyes of Ethan and others. But with how his dad was proudly telling Lexy about him and his achiev
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
