“Thanks!” Lexy smiled gently. She was glad Ethan did not disappoint her. Then she tried to get up and sit on the couch while her eyes were checking the place for her clothes. “I’ll get dressed, and let’s go. You must be tired. You get back to retire for the day as well. I myself really want to give in to the relaxing feeling of your place, but I worry about mom and dad… If only they’re well as they used to be….” Lexy mumbled as she reached for her undergarments on the side of the couch, she was sitting on. Ethan helped Lexy get dressed. Lexy found her brassier while Ethan found her panties. She put on the one she saw, and Ethan assisted her in pulling her panties up her legs. Then Ethan suddenly paused with his hands just midways her thighs and her panties on his hold. Lexy looked at his face and waited for what he was about to say, with her eyes blinking in anticipation of whatever was he going to say to make her panties stop halfway to their destination.“But…” Ethan gazed at Le
Ethan realized being with Lexy. He was in his limited access to keep her safe if he could not transform into his supernatural ability. This thought had never occurred to him when he asked his men and allies to comply with his orders and wishes. And Ethan felt a dreading fear from within him. He was not sure of what was to come their way tonight, but the mere fact that Lexy was right beside him, and he was not willing to leave her sight even for a single second, already sent shivers of fright to the very depth of his being, human and lycan. "The main task right now is to bring her safely to her home where she is well protected. Then we can deal with whoever or whatever is after us," Ethan said to Aldric as we walked his way to his side of the car. Aldric affirmed he had his eyes in the dark to avoid surprise attacks on them. It felt weird and indescribable. If there is a thing of what others may call as the dreaded dark hours, Aldric felt like they were having one at that very moment
Lexy was still unconscious. Ethan was drifting on and off. While Ethan was being dragged, he saw Lexy was carried on a Lycan's shoulder with her arms and head hanging and lifelessly swaying as they walked around. If Lexy fainted sooner, Ethan might have been able to transform and let Aldric fight for them. But the fear of Lexy seeing him as a beast, just like those that attacked them brought fear to Ethan and Aldric. Now they were regretful. They thought it would have been better to secure their safety first and flee from their enemy. Now that they were captured, how are they going to keep hiding his supernatural identity when they might not even have another day of a chance to come clean and confess everything to their girl and mate?!It was as if the heavens turned its eyes away from Aldric, Ethan, and Lexy for a moment to go through the dark hours of their lives. Ethan's body was supposed to heal fast with his supernatural ability, but no matter how hard Aldric concentrates on his
Shocked, shaken, and helpless, Lexy froze in her spot, right in the middle of the distance between Aldric and the other lycans. She felt like she was trapped, and it seemed like her brain had turned numb; she couldn’t think of anything to do in her situation. She was confused. The fear she felt earlier was not even for herself. She was afraid Ethan would be harmed by the beasts again when Lexy heard the footsteps getting closer and trying to get into the cabin where they were in. She was ready to defend Ethan with everything she got thinking the man was in danger. But when he looked like one of the beasts that were now standing next to the door after breaking in, Lexy did not know who was her enemy and anyone any longer. She knew deep in her mind that she should stay focused to survive, but her fear subdued her greatly, and Lexy dropped unconscious to the floor. When Aldric saw his mate’s face filled with horror and confusion, his fear of Lexy seeing him in this form was confirmed
While Lexy was in the land of the undead, reuniting with her parents to get some enlightenment on what she was going through. Ethan arrived at the Roberts residence, and Freya came out to receive them by the gates. "How is she?" Asked the lady doctor."She fainted when she saw me turn," Ethan said worriedly. "She must have freaked out to realize I was the same kind to those that attacked us," he added in a defeated voice. "Give it some time and let her grasp an understanding of everything she just went through tonight," Doctor Freya kindly advised. "Come this way. I'll help you settle her on the bed," the lady added, walking ahead to lead Ethan where to go. They arrived at Lexy's room. Ethan placed her gently on the bed and stared a good few minutes before he sighed and spoke softly. "I better leave before she wakes up and see me. She might not want to see even my shadows right at the moment, but please let me know when she wakes up," Ethan mumbled softly as he told Doctor Freya o
"It wouldn't have been any different whatever way you came to show her," the Moon Goddess answered. "You should know by now how much I have favored you on many things to fail you with your mate. You are my child; no mother will ever want their children sad or lonely, so you have to trust me, okay?"Ethan made a mental note to ask Aldric about this topic later because no matter how the human tried to butt in his mind, Aldric had his walls up and rejected any interruptions from Ethan as he spoke with the Moon Goddess. In Aldric's thoughts, Ethan will always be around, but the Moon Goddess won't. They were greatly favored enough to speak with her and inquire about this and that while she was around. But most of all, Aldric was longing to have the woman who kept him in her womb until she found the right couple to send his human form into the world. Of course, in human understanding, it was impossible. Although there are what others already know about surrogacy. Ethan and Aldric were not
“Do you want to talk about it?” Marlyn asked Lexy.“About what?” Lexy answered.“About whatever it is that has been bothering you,” Marlyn answered hurriedly. “I know you too well not to notice you’re troubled, babe….” Lexy closed her eyes and everything that had happened last night when she was with Ethan on their way to her home flashed back in her mind. She had been having the same thoughts ever since she woke up on her bed after she fainted in that cabin where she saw Ethan turned into a furry and scary-looking creature. “Funny!” she murmured. “Sorry, what?” Marlyn asked in disbelief. Just a while ago, his best friend looked like a beauty in distress, but she suddenly smiled weakly and said a word Marlyn had never expected to slip out of Lexy’s mouth. She looked too sad to say the word “funny” after all!Lexy was scolding herself for how her mind described Ethan. Her thoughts seemed to avoid describing Ethan as a beast, using more favoring words such as a furry and scary-looki
“I didn’t know you have superpowers, babe,” Marlyn chuckled as he ran to catch on with Lexy walking away. “What a surprise!” Lexy sneered. “I was hoping you could tell me,” she glared at a laughing Marlyn. “Who was there?” he asked, still smiling. Marlyn wasn’t really bothered if his joke would turn real or not. He was amazed to hear she could recognize people from that far. But what Lexy said made him forget about his question. “Have you heard about crazy things like people with unbelievable abilities?” She asked with an earnest tone. But Lexy did not stop or walk slowly in her tracks. “You mean…” Marlyn raised his eyebrows and whispered. “Like… superpowers?”Lexy chuckled, but she also stopped abruptly. “Like anything the Marvels studio creates,” she frowned as her words registered her understanding, feeling sillier as she spoke. “Anything, vampires maybe, or werewolves, like that…?” Lexy did not want to meet gazes with Marlyn as she asked. She was worried her face would tell
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
