“Sorry sir but the Ink well you describe has just been sold but I have others that may interest you “The old shop keeper said“No sir , I want the ones with the inscriptions I described ““I can always have the words inscribed on another one”“No, it is alright sir”I walked to the door and stopped then I walked back to the counter.“May I get the name or address of the person that you sold it too?”I did not want to sound like a creep.“Do not get me wrong, I just want to find who ever it is and know if I can pass them an offer in exchange of the Ink Well “The shop keeper narrowed his gaze.“Sorry but I am afraid I can not give out such information. Do you need it perhaps for any specific reason for it is only just an ink well “He said. Something about the way he said it almost made me believe he knew about the Ink well’s power. I looked at his hand that was placed on the counter. His wrist had a mark on it. They were two triangles drawn to form a star. I could tell that I have se

I woke up and every where was very bright. It took a while before the events of last night flooded my head and the first thing I thought was “where was Lucian”. I looked round my room to check if he was on the chair he usually sat but he was not there. I tried paying attention to listen and know if he was in the shower but he was not there also. The curtains had been drawn open and my bed side lamp has been turned off, that only meant he had woken up so he was probably in the parlor or some place else within the house. Last night was magnificent. I had never felt that way before. The image of us kissing brought shock waves to my tummy. He did things to me that I could not explain. I have always scolded myself each time I thought of unholy things about Lucian, asking my self where are my principles yet yesterday I tossed those same principles in the bin and I did not even care. I knew I had wanted him and he apparently did the same.Don’t do anything when I can not control my selfAt

The waitress brought our food in no time. I had pancakes and coffee and Lucian waffles, bacon, eggs and tea instead. When we were done eating I signaled a waitress for our bill and she said the meal was on the house, because Lucian was Mr. Pines Field.“Such a nice privilege do you not agree”I asked him when we had left the café.“I suppose”His reply was short and he did not say a thing after that. As we passed, people who knew him waved and it kind of felt awkward because that meant all these people witnessed us kiss.“Where are we going now?”I heard Lucian ask, waking me up from my thoughts.“Grocery shopping, have you forgotten?”I answered.“And after that?, any personal plans for today?”“Actually, now that you have mentioned it yes. I planned on getting my nails done today. A manicure and pedicure session and maybe get my brows trimmed. I also planned a full spa day”I answered and looked over at him.“Why did you ask any ways?”I asked him. Cause it was sort of weird that h

We walked to her porch and getting to the door I knocked. “Some one is home, I can hear the sounds made by her Tv. She must be inside “He said after a minute of knocking without getting any response.“But she is not responding “Which was bad, she would not leave her TV on but why would she not be responding if she was home.“That could only mean something is indeed wrong”“Then what should we do?”I asked unsure. I was starting to get scared.“We help ourselves in”“Would that not be wrong, breaking in”“Not when the life of some one is in danger”“May be in danger”I corrected him. We could be wrong about this. Maybe she simply forgot to turn off her TV. We were talking about an old woman here.“Maybe we should just call the police if we think anything is wrong. That is the most reasonable thing to do”I suggested“Why call the police when we are here already “Before I could contest he turned the knob and it opened freely. The door was not even locked then he entered inside while

Lucian was right. It was not my fault she was not my fault Mrs. Clara was in that condition. It was an accident and we actually saved her life. Despite knowing this I could not stop wishing I came earlier. We were finally leaving the hospital after much signing of documents. They said visiting hours were long over and we could not see her but we could come back tomorrow. When we got outside it was very dark. I was not expecting it to be this dark because inside the hospital was very bright and it was impossible to see outside the hospital from where we were.Outside was dead silent and apart from the hospital staff moving around there was no one else to be seen.We walked down the street to board a taxi but there was no moving vehicle, I could not even see any head light from an approaching vehicle.“I guess we are walking home”Lucian said.“It is a very long distance, I am too weak I do not think I can”I told him. I have been up all day and the hospital kept me busy too. I have al

After our meal we retreated to our room. It was quiet large. It had a queen sized bed at a corner of the room. The room like the receptionist area was decorated with lots of indoor plants in giant ceramic pots. The room was warm but the air I breathed in was chill. The effects of having so many plants in a room. I liked the feeling. The room was painted with brown paint and laced with gold curtains. It gave it this earthy tone and it looked comfortable. There was a three sitter sofa at the other side of the room and a vanity beside the bed. There was a wardrobe at the far corner of the room, I walked towards it and opened it to check the content of the wardrobe. There was a night gown, black and there was a sleeping garment for a man also hanging in the wardrobe. I felt the night dress, soft satin. I took it off the hanger.“I am going to take a bath before I sleep”I told Lucian who has been laying on the bed with his hands spread out since we got to the room.“Okay”He replied roll

Emma had already gone to take a shower so I went back to the bed to clear my head. The bed was so comfortable.Emma stormed out of the bath room so I quickly got up from the bed and was now in a sitting position.“What is the problem, changed your mind?”I asked her but she Ignored me, not even looking at my direction once. Acted like she could neither see me nor hear me talk to her. She just walked to another door, drew the door open and walked into what ever room that was.I stood up from the bed and walked to the place Emma had previously entered to know what got her like that. I opened the door and looked inside the room. It was the kitchen. She must have mistaken it for the bath room. She had not really gone round to inspect what was behind every door so she obviously thought that that was going to be where the bath room was. But why did she ignore me? Was I even asking myself this, the fact was that I knew what I did, but was that what could have made her ignore me.I sighed and

She was making a great deal of noise and hermovements were causing a lot of discomfort. What was making her to scream even. I grabbed her hands that was around my neck and drew them apart before letting it go then she fell to the bed. I turned to face her and she got up from a lying position and was now knelling on the bed.“What is the problem, I do not know why you are yelling”“There”She said pointing her fingers in a direction. I turned to follow her direction. She seemed to be pointing at the bathroom door.“There is a rat, a really big rat. I saw it and I have been trying to get it out but it is not working. “A Rat?”I asked her despite hearing every thing she just said. So it was a rat that led to all these damages, messes, destruction and noise. I mean look at the room. She broke a lamp all because of a single rat“Yes. I am afraid of those things. They carry diseases.”She said curling up her toes in disgust.I sighed quietly for only me to hear. This was ridiculous. And

EMMA’S POV I couldn’t express how happy I have been since this morning, Lucien and I had already made out on the kitchen counter this morning, and it felt good every single time.I was happy with the way things were, I didn’t even have to think too hard. Whatever this thing was with Lucien, I was going to make sure I saw it till the end.“What are you thinking of Emma? Lucien asked, his breath fanning the crook of my neck.We were currently cuddling on the living room couch, watching a rerun of Harry Potter the pop corn lay half eaten on the centre table.Lucien seemed to be enjoying this movie, because he had been paying attention to the movie, his hands rubbing me In a soothing manner.“Nothing” I said trying to hide the blush that had started creeping up my cheeks. “Are you sure it is nothing Emma? Lucien asked sarcasm dripping through his voice “Ugh I hate you Lucien “ I said trying to hide my face with one of the throw pillows, Lucien laughter inciting me more, but in a go

BRIAN’S POV I was spent at this point, I had tried going to pay a little visit to the shopkeeper, but he had placed a damn curse that smacked me right off my feet anytime I came close to the door. The door handle zapping me senseless. So I had planted trails that would lead me to the inkwell itself, although I had no lead, and I needed to discuss it with Lilith, I needed her permission. I placed a call to Lilith, the line only beeping twice before she picked up, her voice ringing through the room“It is about damn time you called Brian” she yelled, my ear ringing loudly.“You know very well why I haven’t reached out to you Lilith, “ I said exhaustion rolling into my voice“Are you sure that is the only thing keeping you busy Brian? She asked candidly, there was a long pause after The question.Which caused her to cackle, her devilish laughter reverberating through the phone, and I hated the way she always made me feel small.“I thought as much Brian, so when you are done philand

LILITH'S POVI could not explain the anger that rolled off my body after I found out the inkwell had been sold, I had been in an offensive mood ever since Brian brought the news to me, a smirk evident on his face as if mocking me. If not that I needed him, I would have dealt with him, made him beg for his life till I decided on what to do with him.At least, that would put him in his rightful position, and he wouldn't dare mess with me, for I was Lilith, the holder of lives and the one who could rule over fickle-minded men to the right path; I was their only path to salvation.I had made necessary plans in place, the pines field being one of my priorities. I needed to visit the antique shopkeeper and needed him to tell me who or whom he sold the inkwell to.As it was, my patience was running thin; I needed that inkwell like yesterday. to finally get all that I had ever wanted.I wanted power in large doses, I wanted to rule the world.I yearned for the satisfaction of seeing my own r

EMMA’S POV Ever since that day that Lucien had hung out my dirty linen for me to see, used my heart to play a game of ping pong, I couldn’t stand the sight of him.I was repulsed staying in the same space next to him, he didn’t get to treat me like that, didn’t get to say a whole lot of mean things and expect me to still be cordial with him.I mean hello, you do not get to do that.So that is why I have been ignoring him ever since then, focused entirely on my book, that seemed to confuse me a whole lot, and that stinging pain, and metal colliding with fresh was more prominent after every word I wrote.I didn’t know how to explain it, I didn’t know who to ask.I mean I could easily ask Lucien but then my ego would not let me.Right now I was on my way to the antique shop, after impolitely declining Lucien’s offer to accompany me.I didn’t necessarily want to be drawn to his bad energy.Because that was what he was a ticking time bomb that was waiting patiently to detonate taking ev

LUCIEN’S POV It took a while before she responded to my kisses, and when she did.It was blissful, I nibbled, sucked, and teased her bottom lip which elicited a soft moan from her. Her soft moan turning me on.The kiss went from slow and steady to needy, and a little bit aggressive, my hand found the curves at her back, groping softly, and her hand running through the roots of my hair.This action seemed to stir the wolf in me, begging to be let out more than ever, I was having a hard time keeping it under a leash.I didn’t want to hurt her like this, and for a moment, I wished I was human. Wished that I could give her my all without afraid of a beast letting loose.Sensing my urge to pull back off she pulled me back in, one of her legs wrapping around my waist, as I teased her with my already growing bulge.This seemed to be doing the trick as she became a quivering mess pleading with me in small breathes not to stop.Letting out a small growl, I started to feel the changes, my

LUCIEN'S POVIgnoring Emma was the most stupid decision that I had made in my entire life, I had to ensure that I was out of here before she could suspect anything.And I knew nothing could ever get past Emma.She was too smart for her own good, I had woken up earlier than her this morning, made breakfast quietly so I wouldn’t have to hold a conversation with her if she woke up.If I needed to avoid her, I had to be out of here, so I had taken my time to know all the nooks and cranny of pine field. I even saw the antique shop where Emma got the Inkwell, the shopkeeper engrossed in whatever it was he was doing. I wasn’t exactly surprised when I got home, and Emma had tried engaging me in small talks, conversation that I didn’t want to be in, so I had given her one excuse of going to take a shower, shower that ended up taking hours to finish.Honestly trying to avoid Emma, the clothes she had on was messing with my head, turning me into a complete recluse, and she didn’t even notice

I didn’t know how it got from this to this over night. I mean we had cuddled over night. Spent the whole night trying to talk everything out.I mean we even cuddled, and now he would not even look at me. The moment I knew something was wrong was when I woke up to an empty bed. The sheets still smelling strongly of his scent.But there was no Lucien. And I didn’t know what to make of that. There had been lots of heightened emotions last night. Sexual tension enveloping us like a blanket, for a moment I had hoped the cuddles would have led to something else, I mean I would have been down for it.Down for anything as long as it was with Lucien Blacthorne.But that was not the issue here. The issue was Lucien had been ignoring me ever since this morning. Speaking of which, I didn’t even see him, I have looked for him everywhere. And I mean everywhere. I just couldn’t place it. It felt like he was close by, yet far What was worse was that I could feel him, sense him, and even smel

LUCIEN’S POVEver since this morning, Emma had been ignoring me although I deserved the cold shoulders, but it still hurt. I kept on stealing glances at her during our ride home this morning, but I couldn’t get a read of her emotions. She seemed closed off, and upset I just wanted her to smile at me again. I almost died of a heart attack when I finally heard her speak, but her words weren’t directed at me, But the driver.And I wished she would at least talk to me, I wanted her to hear me out so bad. Not even when I offered her my hand to take, her icy reply when I told her we had gotten home made me recoil.Uneasiness overtook me.I let her have her space after I asked her if she needed anything; she didn’t want me around her anyway, so I sat in the living room staring at her as she wrote, her face Devoid of any emotion. But I could tell she was at peace, at least before she wrote whatever made her heart rate rise a whole lot.She didn’t even speak to me on our way to the hos

EMMA’S POVThe ride home was filled with silence, except for the soft purring of the Ac that seemed to fuel my irritation. I was not in the right frame of mind to hold a decent conversation with Lucien.The ride home seemed to drag on, and I couldn’t help but curse my bad luck.His actions lately seemed to drive me over the edge, and his words hitting the appropriate places like a stray bullet.And it definitely seemed to hit its mark.I still couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that I was his roommate, considering what we have been through together.I just didn’t get it. Get the fact that I was unlovable, and it broke me. It broke through my resolve, and there was nothing I could do about it. I definitely didn’t know what I did wrong or where everything went wrong.His indifference fuelling my irritation, I definitely didn’t want to be around him at this point, not until I would be able to exorcise myself of the feeling I had for him.I knew it would take a while before that co
