Marcus gave me a totally unexpected and wonderful surprise when we were about half a mile away from his home. We were riding down a hill, and his house was situated in a valley below. It was surrounded by trees and a few other houses. What looked like the garden side of the house with a fountain was overlooking the river. I was straining my eyes hard to see the house more clearly when my family appeared out of nowhere. Marcus invited them the day they were leaving. He just never told me. The Romans did a ceremony to take the new wife into the house, similar to modern-day but in a slightly different style.

"Aaahhh...!" I was super thrilled and climbed down my horse to run to them.

"Where's the sex glow??" That was Selma's first question.

"She's tired. Don't bother her already." My mom said happily, crushing me into a warm hug.

Marcus and Max both talked to my brothers without being rude for the first time. Aiden was taken aback by their niceness, in fact, he looked disa

    "This should be made illegal! It's totally unacceptable!" Marcus protested. I was with him on this one. After sacrificing a pig and throwing nuts and what not at me saying fertility a hundred times, these people won't let us sleep together now. We both looked at our parents in disapproval. "Avia says today is not an auspicious day. The propitious time for it passed mid-afternoon." Maia tried to explain and Marcus looked at his grandmother threateningly. "Why didn't you tell me then, Avia? What can be more auspicious than the fact that we two are willing? You know how long it took for us to get here." "Ahem! Not long at all." Quintus chuckled. "Considering how you felt about her less than two fortnights back, I have to say this is going too fast!" "I know what I felt, and I was a piece of shit then. I am glad you aren't the in charge here, Quintus." Marcus scoffed at him and turned to my family. "Let's go with the rules of Allena's culture this time." He looked at m

    "Oh my god, Marcus! Thank goodness it's you. I was worried that it was your mother." I said, trying to block him from entering the kitchen.His nose crinkled up before he coughed and sneezed several times."Did something catch fire here? I can smell it from the garden."I took up the herculean task of preparing lunch for everyone in Marcus's family. I was quite confident about my cooking skills and was feeling like a domesticated wife, trying to impress Marcus. It started out all good during the first five minutes, and I never experienced so much joy in cooking for someone.But I guess I was too anxious to please. I got nervous once I started worrying about if he was going to hate what I made. He loved eating all those weird brains and extreme foods that I didn't know the recipes for. I should blame Allena and her clumsy hands. These clumsy hands plus my nerves were the perfect recipe for disaster. Never had anything that I made come out so gross be

    I stood by the edge of the hill to get a good look while Marcus went down, relieved to see that Neill was already on his horse. I slowly climbed down after asking the servant to leave from the other side so that Marcus didn't fire her for helping me.He waited for me with his horse. I was so tempted to leave from the other side of the hill like the servant did to avoid his wrath but decided against it to not get him anymore riled up than he already was. I braced myself for his ranting and was surprised when he just offered me his hand to climb up his horse.He was riding extremely fast, just like the guy from my dream. He ignored my words and looked straight ahead, trying to focus on the rocky terrain."Marcus, slow down please."No response."Don't misunderstand this meeting. I don't feel anything for him, and I can't remember him, at all."Even his horse would have responded better if I talked to him instead. Marcus went deaf."You

    I was staring at the portrait, shell shocked."Allena? Are you okay??"I was walking with Maia from the hallway to the atrium after eating breakfast when one of the paintings on the wall caught my eye. It was a painting of me... a nine-year-old me. I was standing by the window looking slightly up. There was a reflection of fireworks in the glass pane and my eyes.I remember very well when this happened. It was the first New Year's Eve that I spent alone. That blue frock was my dad's birthday present to me. I watched the fireworks from my bedroom window while waiting for my mom."This... this picture? How, I mean what..." I didn't know what my question should be.Maia looked at me curiously before responding."This is a girl that used to haunt Marcus's dreams when he was around ten. Do you know her?""No, I mean no. Um... Those reflections on the window are strange.""There are a lot of things that are strange about this picture

    With his eyes fixated on me, he slammed me on over the bed and undid my shirt. Excitement surged through my body with anticipation. Was this really happening? Finally?!"Shouldn't you be drying off your hair first?""No, it can wait." He pulled my clothes off and threw them across the floor.I tried to move to grab a towel saying, "You will catch cold, it will only take a...""Shut up!"He wrapped a solid arm around my midriff and gave my hair a ruthless pull before crashing his lips into mine. A shuddering moan left my lips when he left a trail of passionate wet kisses all over my breasts and stomach."Oh, Marcus""Mhm...""I missed you."He got hold of my neck and his kisses turned violent. His rough hands grasped onto my hips aggressively. My heart lurched in my chest when his eyes met mine. I tried to keep up with his passion and roughness. His tongue swept and teased me in all the right spots, and a sharp sensation of pleasure was rising between my legs. He rubbed his length a

    "Achooo!!"That was the seventh time I heard Marcus sneeze in the last one hour or so. He was in the meeting room with the other men of the house, and I was all over the courtyard, trying to get a glimpse of him. I walked by the room several times, missing him.I went into the kitchen to help with the stew for dinner. I was careful to simmer it on the lowest possible heat but used the wrong size vessel. Marcus snuck up on me while I was in the tedious process of transferring the excess hot liquid off the ginormous pot into another vessel.I almost dropped the ladle and screamed at him in a much shriller voice than I intended to, "Ah, go away!!"I was feeling hot in the kitchen and annoyed with the men that they don't let the women of the house participate in their so called important meetings."Shh! The entire house doesn't need to know that I am here."He told the servants to leave."Are you mad at me?" He asked while moving st

    I watched Marcus walk Laelia out of the house through the garden entrance, close to the riverbank to talk privately. I could probably hear their conversation, at least in bits and pieces, if I hid behind one of the bushes in the garden. I fought the urge to actually do it.I should trust Marcus because he just promised that his love for me won't change. Really? I paced around the house for almost thirty minutes but he did not return.What were they doing?Were they even there anymore or did he take her somewhere?I didn't like his reaction at all to her when she saw us making out. Why does he owe her any explanation? Too bad ex-girlfriend, he doesn't feel the same about you anymore.Shouldn't he break it off with her if he's so clear about his feelings towards me? Plans change, things don't work as expected, and we move on; she should get over it too.I was pulling my hair and chewing my nails when Maia suddenly came into the atrium asking,

    It felt like my whole world was falling to pieces and everything was spinning out of control. Marcus and I sucked at arguments, and there was no end to them."You are just stretching the truth by a whole damn mile!" He said."Because she's always going to be in your life, Marcus! I will never have this feeling of contentment that you are mine. I am all yours, but you aren't.""I am all yours too! But I can't just push her away. It's not the right thing to do.""So it's okay to put me under this feeling of constant insecurity that you might cheat on me at some point? Be the father to her kids? Be on her side when she needs you? You married me while you were already married to her. How much of the right thing was that?""I never planned to marry you. It was---""But you did! And that's the point I am trying to make. You are telling me that you will never cheat on me, but then you will come back with 'It just happened' kind of an explanation."

    "How can that be? Billy took them?""Liam Cooper checked them out."Marcus and the Druid had some heated exchange of words about the Druid not telling Marcus about Liam earlier."We were focussed on finding Alyssa's home address back then, not who Liam Cooper was or why he exists, remember?"We went to find someone named Jake, the doctor."You folks are driving me insane. That guy looked exactly like him but spoke perfect English," Jake said, pointing to Marcus."Please ask him about Allena's condition," Marcus prompted him.I was so confused about who this other Allena was if Alyssa was in the alternate world as Allena. How many worlds have these people infested?The Druid translated Jake's words for Marcus, "Looks like she underwent the last surgery and was out of danger. As expected, he is going crazy as to why both Allena and Alyssa are still unconscious. He is also suspicious about who we really are. Alyssa said you were h

    Marcus's feet staggered, and I caught him from falling to the ground.She loaded the next one to aim at Marcus again."No! Stop!!"He seemed to be awake but not able to get off the ground. What the hell did she shoot him with? Poison?I ran to stop her but was too late. She took a shot at him again."Stop, don't kill him." My voice cracked when I tried to beg.She grabbed another dart and was loading once more. I reached close enough to attack her, but she pulled out a strange weapon from underneath her tunic and moved toward me threateningly, speaking in a foreign language.But what was she going to shoot me with? She loaded nothing in there. It was too tiny to be a weapon. Was she fooling me?I disregarded her warning and pulled my knife out from my boot while grabbing her hair with my other hand.I heard a click sound and saw her nervous expression before she pressed it again. She was too slow, and I had already

    I followed Marcus to the hallway where all the guests were accommodated, including my family. He lightly tapped on a door and stepped in.The windows facing the courtyard were all shut and I couldn't hear a thing. I exited the house through the garden entrance to see if the room had windows facing the river like ours. I scaled up to the second floor and stayed behind the window curtains."It just occurred to me now. No wonder she couldn't visit Chicago." I heard Marcus's voice."If the stones work only one way, how were we able to return then?""I think by one way, it means the place where they can be activated from. We can activate my stone only from here. And hers only from Chicago. We used the portal you created from here to return. If the portal had closed, I think we would have been stuck in Chicago."Chicago, portal, stones... what was he talking about? Maybe they were speaking in a mixed language because most of it sounded like gibb

    After the wedding feast, Marcus was beginning to look distracted and stressed again. His eyes wandered around, searching for someone. Who else would he be looking for?"Are you looking for Laelia?"I couldn't hide the anger out of my voice.He made me feel so special that I forgot all about her existence until now."Laelia is not here," he said"Was she not invited? Or did she not want to come?"If I had to attend my boyfriend's wedding, I would probably be a crying mess.He looked at me with amusement."Why do you care?""I don't care. I will take it as an insult though if you stare at her while I am in your arms."He stroked my cheek, setting it on fire, "How can I stare at anyone else?"I was at a loss for words. I should be feeling ashamed of myself. I made such overconfident claims, even said to Marcus many times, that I loved Neill. Here I was, dying to hear such cheesy words from him.Ev

    Alternate World TwoAllena's POV"I think he suffers from a personality disorder," I told my mother."That won't stop this wedding. Stop making stories up and look down so that she can do your hair well.""It's true! I know no one would believe me if I told them. He has three different personalities, all different from one another.""And what are these?" Selma asked.She thinks I was already so into him already that his hot and cold behavior was bothering me."The first one is the arrogant jerk who is madly in love with Laelia and doesn't give two shits about me."It was my mother's turn to look amused."Does this girlfriend really exist? Or did you make this story up as well? Where is she? I expected her to dress up better than you and taunt you already. That's the kind of impression you gave me about this imaginary woman.""He must have sent her away somewhere when he got possessed by that second personality of

    Alternate World TwoMarcus's POVI struggled to focus on what was important. Things were a mess in Chicago, and I was clueless as to what exactly was going on.Thankfully, the Druid from here was very cooperative. He looked almost a decade younger than the other Druid. I was wary about giving him all the details at once and freaking him out. He was already quite panicked that I knew his time traveler secret.But once I talked to him long enough explaining my situation, and when I told him that an older version of him existed, he was all up for helping and meeting his older self. He wanted to know what he had done differently so far in the parallel universe, and all the adventures he went on.The older Druid definitely went back further in time or lived longer in the past to have aged so much more. This younger Druid was particularly excited about portals to the alternate world, which I had no idea even existed. If they did, it w

    I wanted to feel anger or indifference. I just wanted to cry my heart out while in his arms."Please don't leave me," he said.I was so determined to leave until this moment. But now I was wondering if I should leave it for Allena to decide. She knows what has been going on so far, and unlike me, she may already know what she wants. I did not have the heart to say no to him. I also did not have much time left with him.After a long and tight hug, he released me from his arms. I saw him look vulnerable for the first time."I am still learning to love, and I will probably never learn to live without you. Please, stay."His words made me cry more. They also had me realize that I could not leave him in the lurch. What if I forgive him today and Allena tells him to fuck off tomorrow?"I have to tell you something, something very important.""Oh yeah? Me too.""Um... What I have to say is not easy to explain. When I show you so

    Something inside me had snapped. His words delivered such painful blows that feelings of hopelessness engulfed me; hopelessness about now and forever.I pushed my way out of the kitchen, with a dozen servants watching the drama. Selma followed me to the room, but I didn't want to talk to anyone for as long as possible. I closed the door and locked it, pretending to not see her.What just happened? How I wished this was one nightmare while under sedation.I locked myself in for the next two days, not caring about Marcus or breaking the curse. Nothing mattered anymore.I knew I shouldn't feel so devastated. We didn't share the soulmate bond. I wouldn't even be here two days from now. It was like getting mad at my Marcus for something Damen did like when he lied to Nyneve. The sorceress said 'about' three weeks. I hoped each day that it was the last day.I guess I already blew up my chance to find the portal and do something meaningful. Ma

    They say it's very hard to love something that doesn't need you. But it was harder to stop loving the ruthless version of Marcus, even if he didn't want me.He avoided me at all costs for the rest of the afternoon. He said I had to stay in my room until my ankle healed completely. It would save me from all the back-breaking work for sure, but how was I ever going to get another chance to sneak out of the fortress then?I considered telling him about it, asking him to take me to the cave himself. That was the easiest and safest way. I walked to the training grounds, wondering if he was over there."Where do you think you are going?" Logan stopped me."I am looking for the Legatus.""And why would he want to meet you?""He would very much want to, and that's why I am looking for him.""Get back to wherever you are supposed to be.
