“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
That was the last thing he wanted to happen, so Aldric and Ethan thought of ways on how to walk out of there without being harmed, especially their girl, Lexy.But as if their enemies knew this to be to their advantage, they decided to come out from their hiding and face Ethan in his human form against them in their lycans.“Stay behind me,” Ethan pulled Lexy to hide from the lycans surrounding them. Ethan and Lexy had their backs to the brick walls in the corner. They found a good spot to defend themselves against their attackers. Lexy did not argue. She hid behind Ethan, with her hands holding the naked man on his side hips. Lexy peeked to have a look at their enemies, and she saw they looked somehow exactly alike the beasts she saw in the forest that night. It was only last night, but Lexy felt like it had happened quite some time ago already. It must have been because her parents had explained some things to Lexy while they were in the in-between. She was no longer as scared as
"I can hear you," Lexy answered. "Let's get this over with." Lexy held Aldric's face in both hands and looked him in the eyes."I'd love to stare at these eyes when we get rid of them," she whispered with an enticing smile. A howl was heard, but Lexy could tell it was not a sound of a cry for pain or sadness. It was the opposite. And she was right. Aldric howled for joy that his mate was expressively accepting him, judging by her words and not fearing him in the slightest. And so, with great vigor and eagerness to end this nonsense from consuming their time to be alone, Aldric ran to their enemies' direction and finished them one by one. All three of them dropped one by one, hearts pulled out of their chest and crushed in Aldric's hands, and the only one left stealthily moved to capture Lexy and kept her as a hostage. "Let's see what you're going to do with your mate's life in my hands," the lycan snarled. "I don't think you know what you are doing," Lexy answered calmly. "I am
"What do we do with this idiot?" Lexy asked with expressed annoyance, pointing at Mauricio, who was now literally a statue from his waist down to his feet. "Babe, you can do whatever you think he deserves to get from trying to harm you," Ethan answered dotingly. "Because if you are going to ask me, I think he needs to repent from all his evil deeds and realize that what he had been doing all these years was all for his greed for power. And killing him now will be an easy way out for him." Lexy nodded, agreeing to Ethan's words. She stared at Mauricio with squinted eyes. Then she whispered unintelligible words. Ethan and Mauricio could hear Lexy speak, but they could not make a form even for a word from what she was saying. "The element of earth will turn you into a stone except for your heart. Until you reach true repentance from all of what you have done against nature, against the rules of balance, and until you deserve another chance, you will remain as a cold rock with your spi
Lexy did not avoid Ethan’s kisses. She even responded with equal passion. No hesitations. No worries… And no fear! There was no reason to hum and haw because Lexy was already sure this man was meant for her as she was meant to be his, in this lifetime and maybe beyond. She had no reason to be worried because the enemy nearby was already turning into a cold and hard stone statue in his feet with only his heart remaining to beat for a chance to live a new life with a renewed heart. He was cursed according to the element earth’s choice as his punishment for his brutal ways of dealing with his gained power as the Crowned Prince. And Lexy has already opened her heart and understood that this man, Ethan, has a lycan in him, and that was Aldric, her mate. She was touched by how the two, Ethan and Aldric, tried to protect her in their limited abilities considering she might feel scared to see them shift into his furry lycan form. And so, Lexy recalled her mom and dad’s words when she spok
Before they could get off the bed, Lexy’s phone started ringing. She was a bit surprised. But her excitement turned into fear and worried when she saw whose name showed on the screen. “Please tell me they are okay….” Lexy did not even get to greet the caller. She was so anxious that the first words to come out of her mouth were heartfelt pleas. “Oh sweetie, I am sorry if my call startled you,” Doctor Smith spoke in a gentle voice. “Did anything happen, Doc?” Lexy asked with her heart still hanging over a deadly cliff. “Sort of, but I don’t think you should be scared or worried. Your mom and dad woke up, but they’re asleep again….” “What!?” Lexy exclaimed. “Wait, wait. Please, hear me out first, okay? Please…?” the lady doctor asked sincerely. “Please calm down, okay, sweetie?” Lexy took in and out big breaths, and Ethan, who could actually hear the entire conversation between the two over the phone while he was right next to his girl, knew Lexy needed some comforting. Henc
The lovers bathed and cleansed each other leisurely in the shower, unhurried, unrushed, and unmindful of the world outside the small space of the shower cubicle they were in because they seemed to savor the moment that they could be with this intimate and passionate serving one another this way. The room wasn't too small as Ethan made sure his house had everything with the luxury of space since he lived alone. His shower cubicle can accommodate five people compared to a typical size for a bachelor occupant. He also hired the best of his choice to design the interiors of his home even before the house got started building its foundations. He had the wild thoughts and crazy imaginations of having someone join him in taking a shower ever since he was inspired by his parents' admirable and inspiring love story.Practically speaking, this isn't the first time they will be making love like every couple of lovers do, but this would be the very first time Aldric was not just by the sidelines
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
