I don't know how long I've been standing here, ogling this man's muscles ripple from the way he's lifting that iron. He seems to be in control of what he's doing. With so much deftness. Once he spots me I quickly avert my gaze. How embarrassing. I can literally feel the heat on my face. The sounds of metals clanging around me brings me out of my reverie and again I'm asking myself what I'm doing in a gym. Oh, that's
He started to walk away, what did I expect. I should really stop having expectations. Apparently I'm worth nothing in his eyes. Suddenly, he stops in his tracks and turns in my direction. He's looking at something on his arm but I'm looking at his face trying to decipher his expression and didn't realize I had grabbed him by the sleeve. He held my hand and gently put it down. "Talk, I'm listening". He says. Funny because his eyes say he has a lot to say to me but he cannot say them.
Well, that couldn't have been worse. I've told myself time and again that whatever Jasper does with his life doesn't concern me and this marriage is a sham. A marriage of convenience, yet I'm worked up about my encounter with Patricia. I'm standing at the entrance of the hotel thinking whether to go in or not but I'm really not feeling up to it. what a joke. It's just my second day of training and I'm already skipping classes. Girl, you've really done it this time. I'll just have to avoid them for as long as possible, no matter what happens I won't get in either of their way. The decision to distract myself with swimming lessons
I'm beginning to think that I overreacted. Jasper must be mad at me. The last four days has been the longest for me since I got here because he hasn't talked to me. If anything, he's certainly good at keeping grudges and I'm getting the idea to follow in his footsteps. "Good morning Diana." Not to forget everytime I try to forget what happened, this bitch shows up, she is getting on my last nerve. Apparently some women have no shame. "I'm sorry about what happened the other day. I'll talk to Jasper if you don't mind. He can be difficult at time." The audacity If I didn't know her already, I'd have probably falle
Mrs Luther and I engaged in a light conversation for a while, and the more we talked, the more I feel something is wrong. If I want her to understand what is really happening I should make things clear and give her a detailed analysis of what my place is in this marriage. "You must be mistaken. Jasper and I aren't that close. He's
I smell old spice and lavender. It's comforting and familiar. That's the same way Jasper's room smells, I'll never tell him that I love that scent. Wait! Jasper's room, what am I doing here. He's supposed to be working in here with She who shall not be named.
I didn't realize how much pent up I had been bottling up. All I could see was red. Blood red. The satisfaction I was getting from this was sickening but I didn't care. I was far too consumed in anger and thirsty for some respect. She pled with me over and over again but I couldn't be moved, what a waste,
I sat still for a while, wondering what just happened. I mean, I cook a lot but it's not everyday you get burned for looking for gloves. The shock from what I had just experienced made me mellow. I watched in awe as he carefully applied the ointment on the burn and blew on it with tenderness. This is different from the Jasper I married. An entirely different person. It felt like the old Jasper had returned to me and was never going to leave me again. Can we be like this? I asked, wishing he could read my thoughts. Please don't change again Jasper, I'm lonely without your care and affection. I miss the old you.I reach out and touch his cheek lightly touch his cheek. Somehow I was going to get the confirmation I so desperately needed as to whether or not he has been faking this sudden affection or not. His eyes following my hand until he was staring back at me with so much intensity and not once did he avert his gaze. Just like me, he too was in shoc
The whispers amongst the wolves are everything but positive, I shiver at the thought of what they must be thinking about me, their stares are filled with menace and it's unsettling. Each passing second feels like I'm drowning, I really am screwed. Jasper was also staring blankly at me. At this point, I just wanted the ground to open up and swallow me whole. I knew I shouldn't have come here, yet, I couldn't let them fight each other. "Diana, please wait outside." Jasper said as he took my hand.
I thought we would be separated the moment we reached the roadside, so what is he still doing walking with me, doesn't he have a wife to return to? Or oerhaps he's suspicious of me. If that's true then there won't be any chance to return to Lune, not just that but if brother finds out, i'd be in major trouble. I have to find a way out of here, should I knock his out, I can't kill him or interfere with this race. "I'll be going now, my brother must be waiting for me." I tell him. I hope he at least get the picture and leaves.I leave him behind and walk alone, trying to make it look like I at least know the way am going. "Hold on." My body subconsciously halts. No, I must have been found out. What now? I never thought they would be this smart to actually spot a god. "Would you be fine by yourself. Am not sure you know these roads by yourself, even am not sure of these roads myself, you sure you know where your way around." What? He's still caring about a stranger
I don't feel a thing except emptiness, which seemed weird coming from someone who asked her emotions to be removed. Although Lune decided not to hide the fact that I asked for my emotions and memories to be removed from me, couldn't stop me from feeling this way. I've been feeling rather empty, this feeling of emptiness was greater than the pressure of watching over the entire earth at night, which is why am seated by the moon pool, causing waves with my hand and giving light to darkness. I gotta say, the Sun god sure is doing a great job at being up all day.I don't remember much from what Lune told me, but according to earth's calendar. It's probably been three years since I left, I was told I went to earth in search of something and returned after I found it, but am not sure what it is. How could I feel so incomplete after finding it. Maybe I didn't find it, Lune didn't tell me about what it was when I woke up. No matter what I tried to do, nothing seemed to
It was supposed to be a night of memory for me, but I don't think I can make much memories with such looks on their faces. Today was supposed to be my last meal with them, but their stares are rather piercing, ugh, why the hell do I feel like am being stabbed a hundred times by them. "What?!"Hailey bangs the table so hard it almost snaps. "Cut the crab Diana, what's going on." As expected from someone as quick witted as Hailey, she guessed it in an instant. No I think they all did, is that why they have such looks on. I don't think it would be easy talking to them anymore."Haha." I laugh, it's better to avoid eye contact right now Diana, they can see right through you and emotionally blackmail you, however I still have to tell them. "Well, you see, I finally decided that am going home."The living room is awkwardly silent. It's been this way for five minuted that I could even hear the crickets outside. Ever since I tol
A loud bam filled the room, I tightly shut my eyes close at the sound of the gunshots. It's been at least thirty seconds and I haven't felt a single thing how strange. I open my eyes and find the brothers all gathered in the room with Allen who had a gun in his hand pointed at Derrick who was holding into his chest. "The hell." He screamed, at the same moment he calmed down. "Evan, Allen, Dave. You're here?" He said, he looked rather terrified after seeing them all together. Meanwhilean still panicking I felt all over my body and find nothing on me, so this isn't a dream then. I really am alive. Was it a blank, am sure I heard a gun shut, no rather two gunshots.Thank goodness they made it. The brothers who had gathered in one room gave off a tense aura. "Of course we are, the warehouse has a fucking back door and we've taken care of your friends." Allen yelled. He seems pissed off along with the others, could they had heard everything just now oh Derrick I gues
I reach the warehouse before noon and find a couple of men outside who escorts me inside, the closer I get, the angrier I feel, I wonder, just how did he fool his entire family. Finally I spot the great mastermind up ahead, he walked closer and then when we we're only a few inches apart he leaned forward and said to me, "the password." How the hell could I give him the password knowing there was a chance we might not make it out alive."You really had me fooled there Derrick, you honestly thought I would let you have the journal just like that. Let me see Jasper and Liam first." I tell him. I couldn't afford to waver or be frightened by him anymore, I had already ripped off the page before they broke in, and I discovered who he was and that was more than enough for my plan to work.He looks me in the eyes and walks closer, the closer he gets to me the more I take a step back till I reach a dead end and my back slams agains the wall. "No." He
My heart race the next instant, just what the hell do they want from me right now, I can't even keep a straight face because am mad right now. "Diana, it's me." Liam. That's unusual, Liam never visits me, not just that he never bothered to last three minutes in a conversation with me so why was he at my door right now."Come in." Whatever it's better to get this over with and fast."Good thing you weren't sleeping, we've just received news that your blood was in fact the cure. So we thought you would be having a hard time because you discovered your identity and then the virus and stuff, we would like you to know that you have our support." I stare puzzled at him, this was the first time we had a proper conversation and that was all he had to say. Well at least it's better than pretending am invisible."Thanks." Right after he walked away from my room I shut the door behind me, and certain now, I have to find out more ab
He looked paralyzed like he's seen a ghost. Does that number hold an important place in his heart, cause I just couldn't read his speechless expression. He kept mumbling something to himself, frowning and rubbing his temples, he's walked about the room three times, just what the hell is his reason. "Ah ha. Isn't that mother's birth year." Wait, his mother's birth year, and just why would father have a note with the late Alpha wife's birth year in it, could it be a coincidence that all this happened. No with all these crazy stuff going on in this family I doubt anything is just a coincidence anymore.The birth year of Derrick's mother as the password to a safe well I thought we only had one safe, could there be another one I didn't know of, a safe... A safe... "Wait a minute, there is one safe we don't know the password to, the code to the safe. The safe at the Maxwell mansion." I tell him. Quickly we get into the car and drive all the way to the mansion.
"Why did you go down." I've never seen Lune this mad. No one dared say a word to him until we were spoken to, not even me, I knew this was what would befall me yet, I was still curious about that boy and went down to help him, brother must have arrived sooner than I had expected and found out."He needed help." I tell him."Anna, Stars, Lune's, and Luna's are not meant to interfere with the mud people, it's against the rules, how many times must I tell you this." Rules, rules, rules, I've heard that so many times, am always limited by rules telling me what and what not to do."I went as a human not as a Luna, besides am yet to be a Luna so right now I hold no value, that boy needed my help.""No he didn't Anna and stop with the childish acts, do you know how old you are, you're no longer a child whereas he's only twelve, humans and Stars age differently especially beings like us." True, w
To think he was running away from the same person he tried to kill a few minutes ago, and pulling me like I was a bag of floor makes me feel annoyed. Still I could hear the growls coming from behind and people's cries, I don't even know what's going on. The next thing I know I was carried in his arms, Nicholas speed increased as he ran without looking back. I keep hearing heavy footsteps coming from the other side of the wall, in no less than three seconds after I heard the footsteps the walls came tumbling down, someone had just ran through a wall. Nicholas stopped, and handed me over to someone, "take her and run, and no matter what, don't let go." I thought he wanted us to die together a while ago. I have to do something, my legs are still numb, if I want to escape this I have to get my body to work again. Before Nicholas subordinate starts running I caught a glimpse of the terrifying being they were scared of. Jasper was in his wolf form, this was my first
