Lucien did say he was going to be late, but I had the urge to talk to him and listen to his surprisingly soothing voice before my head hits the pillow. I've seen the proportions of his room, they are masculine with a glass bathroom and the balcony that shows him the little lake of the woods. He must have selected this room out of all because it was spacious and nice, cozy to say the least.Mine was rather gaudy with creme, now that I see the color. His room walls are slightly grey and the ceiling has a good old chandelier hanging off down, the golden beams radiating gave the room a really good look. Enough about rooms though, I was checking the time to be around 1 but there was sign of Lucien or Gorius coming back from the city.I'm sure their transportation means were cars as well as planes to reach Washington from here. Anyway, I hope he will come home soon.As if on queue, the footsteps are heard in the quiet hallways and I almost hear him sighing from the distance. I had a special
My tears were all around my face like some forbidden cream, my hands were shaking on their own as I question the man in front of me."Do you want me to love a monster like yourself, Lucien?" It comes from my chest, the undertone of anger with an upper tone of fear and fright. I see Lucien begin to contemplate, but I cannot say that his bloodlust is satisfied."You just ruined my mood to kill." This was even more unexpected."Throw him into the dungeon. Let her know that my mercy of death was better than living the rest of his life in the dungeon." At his words, I begin to cry louder. It was all acting of course, but deep down I could feel the person's perspective when Lucien said that. I wonder how many have heard him say this while they were traumatized for having stepped onto the land of beasts. It must be a blunder, but Lucien had to make sure every single time that the humans or other creatures of self will shall never cross his sacred lands ever again. I wonder how cruel he was
Gorius and I glare into each other's eyes through the darkness. As if the whole world was falling apart and we were bitter enemies, I take a deep breath in and turn around to collect the snacks and move away from the man when suddenly he switches the lights on. "I told you not to—" my words were stuck when I look over my shoulder and through few strands of hair. There was Lucien, looking serious and all as he looks at me.I didn't know he was here the whole time.Turning around, having none of the shame-factors left in me, I see Lucien lifting his hand to stop me from moving any further. He turns to Gorius and says, "I have to talk to my Luna." At that, Gorius obediently bows his head to his alpha King and begins walking back towards the hallways where he came from. Lucien and I were utterly silent, awkwardly staring at each other like cats. He takes the initiative and touches his nose with his thumb, swiping across his nostril and then I realize that this man had rhinitis to strong
"Shush! I know you're the one who released that man from the dungeon!" It was Gorius who asks me with a harsh tone. This area was literally abandoned and no one chooses to go to the garden because of the wolfsbane that grows in here. I was staring at Gorius when he flares his nose and hisses, "Are you saying anything or should I make you—""Lucien already knows about it." I say7 to him. "What?""Before you could detect anything, I already told Lucien everything last night about me helping that man escape." I say to Gorius who hums and falls back finally."But why just that man? You could kill the guards and help everyone escape." Says Gorius."Do you want me to kill my own people now? I maybe against Lucien and you regarding this but I won't hurt innocent people who are simply doing their job." I say to Gorius, watching the male grow disappointed within himself. The regret stays like a bubble, it's lifespan being short as I face his wrathful eyes again."That is still not a mission f
After the good revitalizing slumber of mine, I begin to start the day by taking some classes for Jasmine before we take our bath. The etiquette I have in mind today for her is the slow talk."So, we talk to enhance our words. If I sound excited, I talk all rubbish and without my knowledge, right? Also it improves our confidence. Try it with me now." I say to the girl who brings a corner of her lip to the side, showing unsurity."But I don't have anything to talk about." She says."Okay we'll talk about your favorite clothes then." I select a topic myself."Hmm... I don't have many clothes. We never went out too so..." I stare at her in disbelief."We should go shopping today then. Well, talk to me about how you've slept last night." As the discussion goes on, a maid walks in and bows at us respectfully."Princess and Luna, Alpha wants to see you soon at the court room." She says, making me and Jasmine look at each other in doubt."Absolutely." Replying to her, we follow her as she ope
I stare into his lustrous eyes which gleam of anger. Why was he angry upon his own people? I gasp when I realise that he meant he will force the truth out of me by hurting people. I was only surprised when I realized... that he will go to the next step of hurting his own people for me.I felt thrilled for a reason, but that was only temporary since I wanted those people to be punished by their King for how they've treated me. But at the same time, I calm myself down from my intrusive thoughts and finally turn towards him, his grip on my arm loosening but still there.He blinks slowly, "Tell me.""It's the people. Your servants dressed me up in such a plain dress while the princess looks so beautiful— I'm not holding a grudge on Jasmine. She deserves the love. But... don't I?" I ask him, making my eyes seem sad as I do so.He takes me in his embrace and I realise that he can be a very good man when the situation demands. For now, he shushes me from crying too much so that I'll ruin the
Within a few minutes, people started gathering around the man who clicks his champagne glass with the fork. Of course he wasn't going to do an announcement by himself, Gorius forced him into this. I see his back that faces me while straightening mine too, the swarm of ladies look at him as though he is their beloved idol upon the slight elevation by two steps from the ground."Good morning, ladies. As you know, there is only one of you amongst all who will be calling themselves a Queen real soon. We can't predict the future, but let me announce to you this," The man as I was listening very intently holds his hand out for me to take. His prince-charming gaze upon me which sparkles differently than when he looks at others makes me feel the butterflies in my tummy.Or maybe it's the stage fear.Anyway, I take his hand and see the moods of people around us turning bitter and sour and every hated flavor of distaste. I do catch up on a few words like, "She's human, I've heard. Gosh, she's s
The stranger taps upon my shoulder, I almost didn't feel his touch on my skin because of his delicate movement. Anyway, I turn around in haste to meet the Prince Charming.Jesus.Why are men around this area and species so hot-blooded and robust with charm, makutu while looking dashing as literal princes? I'll get a nose-bleed at this point.Suddenly, there's a blast of music which doesn't match the atmosphere of pleasantries and calm. The music was so Lucien."May I have a dance with you, beautiful one?" The man in sparkling midnight blue blazer with his equally sparkling blue eyes asks me. It felt like a fever dream to me.A handsome man who appears to be a royal of this castle asks me to dance with him.But what about my prince charming?When I look at Lucien, he is smiling eloquently at several women who are surrounding him. On the list was also the red chilli there, swinging her hips excessively and without control as if she had a disorder. Rolling my eyes, I turn back to the man
Varca was brave enough to think he could stand up to Kohl and Lucien. He was confused when he was overpowered by the strongest male duo that ever walked on Earth. He stood up again, his body made a dent in a low hill after Kohl kicked him into it. His battle spirit was slowly fading, and he looked down at the giant hole in his chest. He was bleeding from his mouth and bleeding from his chest. His heart had gone missing. And when everything looked like a blissful win for the werewolf-man duo, Varca clicked his fingers, and an abnormal amount of smoke just spread through, all around the shore of Bepal. The ships were spreading it. They were crushing a bunch of neurotoxin which the vampires are immune to. They were a blend of...wolfsbane. Kohl realised his dirty plan when he saw the humans falling to their knees, sucked out to the last drop by vampires. He growled at Varca, charging at him with a stake of a broken roof in his hand. "ARGH!" Varca cried, coughing out blood. "You w
[2 days ago, South Bepal shore]The shore was quiet and the sea smelled great. The shore bred warmth from the coastline it touched, the south side was especially warm during afternoons. A fisherman's boy from the shoreline village was playing with his red male doll. It looked like the Fritz, twelve inches in height and almost too realistic like a baby. As he sunk the toy in the clear, wavy water I've the shore's receding wave, he felt the joy of drowning his doll. His intention was to make it swim on its own. However, there came the shore hitting wave again. But it was dyed like the color of hell.He noticed the red ink like fluid spread with the water. He didn’t realise. After all, he was just a kid. His he's turned to the other side slowly. Beyond his little boat anchored to safety was a hovering troop of red eyed monsters.He knew right away about their species. He yelled,"B-BLOODSUCKERS!!" Varca's vast fleet stationed around the coast. His giant ship's shadow grew on the s
Raya watched the young lady descend on the palace terrace softly. Her wings followed her mind and remained attached to her back. Raya smiled at the young lady who skipped towards her like an enthusiastic child. "How was the view from up there?" Asked Raya."It was awesome!" She answered simply. Eden embraced Raya's side as she asked the man to let her go, just for a while."I gotta talk to Laura about something. Give me a minute." Whispering to him, she places a kiss on his cheek when he nods his head. She leaves his embrace to fetch Laura, to talk to her."Um, hey. You got a minute for me? I know you're busy, but it's kind of important." Laura and Kathleen turned towards Raya who gently asked her. Kathleen pushed her chin towards Raya, looking at Laura as the Phoenix got the green signal."I'll be right back!" Said Laura to Tony who wanted to cling to her while the ceremony started."What do you wanna talk about?" Laura asked with a soft smile,"Um, before that, could you keep the c
Eden and Raya were sincerely missing out on everything good that was happening around the palace and the Siren Kingdom. They've deliberately avoided everyone after an hour of lovemaking.But, no matter how much they've washed each other and relieved from the scent of sex, Laura and Tony could sniff out everything within a second. Tony looked at Laura with a knowing gaze, his face all scrunched up in disgust while Laura tried not to laugh at him. They watched Eden come first, trying to hug Laura and Raya nonchalantly walk behind him. Their combination was lethal in Laura's eyes.One was a golden retriever puppy and the other was a great old sea serpent who was half as wise as Eden. She is an old soul after all, she knew nothing about the modern age and how invaluable having sex is considered in the recent times. "Um, you two smell funny." Tony said frankly, without thinking twice about the situation. Kathleen was right behind them as she checked out sea jewelry from a cute Siren maid
Days passed by.Raya could never have felt this peaceful amongst the most chaotic trio she's ever seen. They're always breaking something or the other. They're clumsy and childish.But all three separately were more mature and understanding that most ripe humans. At present, Raya watched Laura bring a baby siren close into her arms and whisper sweet nothings to the upset baby. It seems as though the baby had an indigestion problem, and as soon as Laura let a drop of her tear seep into the baby's smooth blue skin, it stopped crying almost instantly. Laura's wings furled inwards as she provided the needed warmth to the Siren baby."Magical, isn't it?" Kathleen said from behind Raya. The woman who was leaning against the huge door frame of the palace entrance stood straight in her presence. Out of respect. "Yes, indeed. She's a healer. She was born for this." Raya said in a soft voice in admiration. Her gaze turned towards the two boys who gave company to the rest of siren children pla
The door barged open as the sirens spilled inside. Raya flinched and looked behind herself."W-we heard someone falling to the floor, your highness! Is everything alright!? Are you alright?" Eden chuckled at the cute teenager sirens who barged in to 'check' on their deity. They find a single, non exclusive excuse to rush into the room, hoping to see their Sea Serpent diety just once. It looked like a terrible, annoying trick to Raya. Alas, she was too tired to even react to them."Nothing is wrong, you all. Have you ever heard of privacy?" Eden asked the teenagers amusingly. "What is that?"Raya stared at them with a blank expression. Were they pretending to be clueless or were they really unfamiliar with such terms?Eitherway, Eden limps towards them and closes the door behind himself."Do you want to rest beside me?" He was shy, scratching his head and shuffling his feet as he asked.'Not so cocky now, I see.' Raya thought in her mind. Without another word said, she crawls up int
Laura and Kathleen kept the sleeping man company. They sat beside him, Laura held his hand and prayed that his body would heal quickly. Even if she induced his system with her powers of healing, his body wouldn't be able to take the rapid change which would complicate his wellbeing even more.As said by many; time is the best healer of all wounds.However, that phrase never seemed to work on Laura for the past two years. Time changed nothing for her. Her emotions were the same as she had them two years back.Thinking about it made her sick, because all she could do was think about it. Her mind couldn't take any woven shit from her anymore, so she decides by herself to walk out of her thinking lane into a new one.A brighter one.Tony was kept company with the other sirens of his age. He was still a humanoid boy, thanks to Laura's transmatter powers that he was still a cute little seventeen year old boy.Eden had his eyes closed.For a brief while, he could feel the air shift around hi
Eden's attempt to warn the sirens was proving futile. He wasn't able to warn them that a snake like creature that brought him to the shore, swimming around the world for hours, was sinking to the bottom of the ocean.He couldn't express in words that he was an escapee, and the one who helped him reach the kingdom was from the other herd of enemies.Laura followed the troop of Sirens who began running towards the said shore. She had her gigantic wings take her towards the rocky shore. In a brief memory of how she had been crying over and over again over a person the night before, she couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the person's cousin in the scene.She gasped, making other sirens aware of the threat.Spears made of thick seashells were pointed towards him. Laura landed right behind him, and the male turned around with his wavy, wet and black hair flowing with his movements. "Laura! It's...it's a Basilisk. I'll tell you everything but she's sinking! She helped me travel across t
"A centaur? I thought they were sacred species. Aren't there like 200 of them left?""True. A centaur brings immense power and luck and somehow, you don't seem to know about Centaurs." "No wonder you're so lucky in escaping us all." Eden chuckled at Raya. "Of course. Our baby centaur is kind hearted too. And he eats nothing but carrots. And the horse that you saw me with at the cliff...that's Roy. He's my best buddy. I could speak to him about quite literally anything." Raya jumped her eyebrows at Eden's words."I can't believe werewolves at all. You guys are the worst examples of half human and half animal." Eden laughed heartily. The ice cream tub was finished by the time they finished gossiping as well. Raya was getting way too attached to this stranger. His presence was making her feel super comfortable, as in giving her peace and tranquility against all that happened before. "Well, I have something for you." Said Raya.She unfurled a trinket, something like a locket in model
