Alice soon fell asleep as she was exhausted from the long Drive, but it wasn’t a deep slumber. She stirred awake by a faint tingling sensation that lingered on her back and hips. Her eyes fluttered open when she realized someone was tracing mindless circles on her arm. She stared straight into Devon’s eyes, and her breath hitched. Her eyes flew wide open when she realized how close they were. Their noses were almost touching.“You are finally awake, it worked,” He said softly, Devon continued tracing mindless circles around her arm, when he felt how tense she had become.Looking at her sleeping face, and caressing her face was the only way Devon could think of to wake his mate up. and she finally did wake up After all the troubles they had encountered for the past few days, the sight of her sleeping gave him peace. listening to her heart rhythm gave him comfort, and life to his dead soul.Meanwhile, Alice, who was still a little disoriented after waking up, finally relaxed because sh
Alice continued to stare outside the window, but the smile Devon wanted to see didn’t return to her face. She was in a daze, like something was in her mind weighing her down. This caused him to be a little concerned.They drove until, and they got to what looked like a forest, with many tall trees on each side of the road. It was quiet as they drove, and the road was long. The more they drove, the more the buildings grew lesser, till there were no cars or houses and even people seen.After driving along the road for almost ten minutes, they finally emerged in what seemed to be a small town. There were fewer people in the town and no large buildings, only beautiful cottage-like houses. With small shops on each side of the road after. There was a bookshop, a local library and also a small restaurant at an intersection they took and Alice, curious eyes, scrutinized the entire area. She loved how peaceful the whole place seemed.The people there didn’t seem to be a bit curious about why a
They came down from the car and walked into the beautiful mansion. Kace and Lucas trailed behind them, with Doris. Alice remembered her. She knew she was Lucas’ wife.The house had ten floors, and the whole top floor was for Devon alone. There was a flight of stairs that led up to different hallways and also Devon’s floor. Alice felt a little exhausted going up the stairs. The house looked like it was transformed it from an ancient castle into a modern-day castle while keeping the castle-like appearance..Devon swiftly picked Alice up when he saw that she was a little out of breath, taking her by surprise. She couldn’t help but blush and bend her head down in embarrassment, because of the people passing by shocked expressions, when they saw her in Devon’s arms.“I can walk on my own,” Alice whispered, hoping Devon would put her down, but he didn’t answer her and only continued to walk, not minding the shock gasped and gazes of the people around.His eyes went into a haze as he communic
Alice could only blink multiple times at Devon. She didn’t know how to react to what he just said. That wasn’t what she was expecting to hear. She felt her heart palpitating in her chest at his confession of hers. Her cheeks couldn’t hide how she felt as it showed a bright shade of crimson. Alice lowered her head and started fiddling with her fingers nervously.Devon reached for her hands and planted a soft kiss on her fingers. She couldn’t stop him as a spark erupted as soon as they touched. She liked their interactions.“But why you don’t even know me well? We just met,” she asked after some time, raising her head to look at him with confusion.Devon sighed deeply, looking for the right words to explain how he felt to his mate. He wasn’t sure even words could explain it. Was it love?. Would she be overwhelmed if he said he loved her?.“You are my world, my entire life. My world would be meaningless without you,” He said, and this only added to Alice's confusion of why he could say th
All Alice could do was stare at the unfamiliar woman. A warm smile was grazed upon the woman’s face, so she didn’t look like a threat. The woman was tall and slender. She wore a floral dress with colorful patterns. That looked brighter than her pale skin was. A few gray strands were visible in her curly hair..Kace, who turned to recieve a call, came running quickly when he saw Diana talking to Alice. He didn’t want Alice to panic.“Diana!” He called out, gaining the woman’s attention. The woman turned to where the voice came from and the smile disappeared from her face when she saw Kace.“You should have told me you were here,” Kace started when he stood in front of the woman. who looked annoyed to see him, a deep frown was visible on her face.“Can’t I talk to Luna without you butting in?” The woman asked irritably, with a glare on her face.“I didn’t mean it like that. It’s just that Luna isn’t familiar with everyone here. Luna may get startled if approached like that since she is
“What!, did you just say the child of the prophecy?” Kace asked in bewilderment. He heard about the children of prophecy from his grandmother when he was little and he always thought it was just a made up story.“What do you mean?” He added. Still confused.Not all supernatural creatures knew about the children of the prophecy. But not many believed it, as the last Children of the prophecy had died long before many were born into the world. And even fewer people knew about the promises made by the moon goddess to the people. Only The royal family was aware of this, including Devon.“Haven’t you heard about it? It’s not surprising that a dimwit like you is unaware,” Diana scowled as her hair became dark again. "I know about it! I didn't just believe it was actually true" Kace retorted.Alice stared back and forth between Diana and Kace in confusion. She had no idea what they were talking about. This was the first time she heard anything about Child or children of the prophecy. why was
Devon heard the statement and could only roll his eyes at Diana and her assumptions. “Stop with your assumption, diana" he said, and Diana gasped again. This made Devon raise an eyebrow at the dramatic woman.“I think I’m right. It’s about time he does if you have. I'm sure I'm correct this time. I have to be” she affirmed, making Kace look back and forth between his Alpha and feisty Diana.“Is she human too? That is going to be so interesting?” She laughed out loud at her assumption. She anticipated to see how Liam would act with his mate. would he behave similar to Devon. or would he reject her immediately without finding out who she was.She then focused her attention back on Alice. “Have you found out about her” Diana asked Devon, incredulously. “She is one of the children of the prophecy” Alice tilted her head in Diana’s direction in curiosity. Devon’s fingers were still intertwined with hers.“I know Diana,” Devon replied firmly, and he looked down at his mate, who had questions
Alice tucked her hair behind her ear as she waited for Doris’ response eagerly. She knew Devon wouldn’t tell her about what she wanted to know. If he wanted her to know, he would have asked her to follow them to his study. She wondered what they were talking about.“The children of the prophecy?” Doris reiterated, looking at Alice curiously with interest.“I think I heard about that as a child,” she added, trying to remember what it was about.“Why do you want to know about that? It’s just a story told to children,” Doris inquired, trying to figure out where Alice heard about it from.“I’m just curious,” Alice replied, waiting eagerly for what she asked.“Well, from what I remember about. It was written that the moon goddess Selena. will bestow upon the world three powerful children to help win an upcoming war that could destroy both the human world and our world. Without them, the war can’t be victorious,” Diana explained, and Alice listened attentively like a student, nodding her he
