ANDREA’S POV I felt pure rage seep through my veins, and I just couldn’t believe the nerve of this witch to talk to me this way. I thought she would at least give me some space, but it was looking as though, I was being delusional. "You are the one who should mind the tone of your voice when you’re talking to me," she said softly. I shook my head as I pulled the blanket closer to me in a bid to give myself more warmth. "I don’t need this right now. Please, just leave my room, and don’t come back," I gritted out. She took a step forward, and Lily tried to stop her from coming close, but she shoved her aside as though she weighed nothing as she kept moving closer to my bed. Her eyes were so cold, but I tried not to be frightened by her. I should channel all of that into anger. And, that is what I would have to do. "Stand back! Did you not hear me?" I snapped. She was suddenly in front of my face, and she tried to jerk me towards her. I gasped as I clutched the bedsheet, struggling
ANDREA’S POVNikolai was on one knee, holding a long sword to himself. I had never seen such a thing in my whole life, and I simply looked at it in shock. He was cleaning it with some hard water and another weird substance like he could not get enough of it. It was the craziest thing to see."I was waiting for you at the training centre, but you never came, so I thought it would be nice for me to come over here," I mumbled as I pressed a hand onto my stomach to give me the needed courage.The way all of the drama had cooked up fled at the sight of Nikolai was so shocking. He slapped his hand over his naked chest, and I couldn’t help but stare at the fine hairs on his chest. The man was so beautiful. Damn it! With a sigh, I looked back at the sword which had its tip tilted in my direction. "If I shouldn’t be in here, I would just leave," I said quietly.He looked at me then, resting his hands on the sword. "I was busy cleaning, I didn’t meant to snub you. Please, come inside," he said
NIKOLAII caressed the edge of the Spada Tacita, momentarily lost. Andrea had informed me blankly that I should kiss her. What do I make out of that? Maybe, the heat of the room had messed up with her head, and she didn’t know what she was saying.Of course, we had kissed previously, but I was the one who was always initiating it, and she had shown no sign that she wanted me that much until now, so I really had nothing to think on this matter, and the more I thought about it, the more it made me so confused...Sighing, I calmly lowered my sword in its case. The Spada Tacita which meant the 'silent sword' was the most important tool to me. I had wished to tell Andrea about what it had done in my life when I went to battles or trained, but held myself back. To me, I believed she didn’t want me right now. I mean, she had not gone out of her way to seek me out as a mate, but as her trainer. But, then, she had asked me to kiss her like a storm."Forget I said anything," she said suddenly.
ANDREAClosing the door as quickly as I could, I rested my back on it. Oh, Goddess, how did I get so brazen? My fingers moved lightly to my lips, caressing it a bit. The urge to go back to Nikolai was intense, and I wanted him to keep kissing me till I was breathless. The man really knew how to kiss. A smile touched my face at that thought."Greetings, Luna," a maid greeted softly as she went her way.I gasped in shock. Had she seen me touching my lips and smiling like an idiot? What the hell would she think? I groaned lightly as I made my way out of there, without looking back even once. There was no need to embarrass myself because of such things. In seconds, I was in my room. I looked around at the feminine room, and breathed a sigh of relief that Lily wasn't here. The last thing I wanted was for her to see how much this whole thing affected me. I wouldn't be able to take such things.Quietly, I moved over to the bed, sitting down heavily on it. "I shouldn't have shown him my weak
ANDREA"You don’t need to be afraid," Lucien said as his fingers brushed my cheeks lightly.I blinked as I calmly rose to my feet, taking care not to bump my head on his. This was too much. Why did I have to sleep off now? And, why did he have to look so cute all at once?"I should leave," I said quietly.He settled back on the floor, looking at me questioningly. "Why? Did I do something wrong or something?""No, it’s not you," I said, slightly amazed that he would ask me such a question. Of all of them, he didn’t seem like the type of person who was easily swayed by anything. He was the hard as hell."Then, what is it?" He asked at once.I looked away from him. "It’s nothing," I managed. It was at the same time that my eyes came in contact with the documents and I remembered why I had come to his room in the first place. Taking the document, I pulled it in front of him. "I came because of this.""What’s that?"I shrugged. "I have no idea, but Brody informed me to give it to you. Acco
LUCIENAndrea was like an angel. She probably was. I sighed as I leaned in close to her, softly caressing her face, as I tried to slide her hair away from her face, so she could be more comfortable, only for her eyes to flicker open, and she looked at me in shock."Hey, it’s me," I said softly.She gasped as she sat up on the bed, pulling her hair behind her ears by herself, as she looked down at herself. She noted that she was still in her clothes and a sigh escaped her lips. It was a bit insulting that she thought that it would be some sort of problem if we had done something last night."We didn’t do anything, right?" She asked quietly.I sighed as I lay back on the pillow, placing my hands behind my head for support. "Did you want something to happen?" I teased back.She gasped as she tried to leave the bed, but I was quick, pulling her back against me. Her eyes flickered close for a minute, before she opened it to look at me. She was blushing really hard and it was so enjoyable t
ANDREA"I would heat the coffee for you, Luna," Lily said softly.I sighed as I stared at my face in the mirror. I was not looking like myself. I could still remember that while I was running out of Lucien’s room, Nikolai had looked as though I had broken his heart. It still didn’t make sense."Luna?"I flicked my wrist to the side, giving Lily the permission to leave. Honestly, I didn’t care if she left or stayed. What mattered was that for some reason, Nikolai had been hurt. I didn’t like it, and I wanted to make him feel better, but still I had no idea how I would be able to do that.With a sigh, I moved away from where the mirror, and looked at the clock. It was still so early. Maybe, I would be able to catch him there? With a sigh, I moved over to the wardrobe, bring another clean sweatpants and crop-top.Not waiting for Lily, I made my way out of my room, and down the stairs. As usual, the maids were going about their respective works, and they greeted me humbly. I nodded quickl
ANDREA "What of this?" Lily asked as she lifted up a brown gown that left little of the imagination. I frowned as I turned around in the swivel chair. "What is that? I don’t like it, Lily. I’m not trying to seduce the man, but I just want something that is a bit comfy, but also good as a breakfast date. It shouldn’t be too outrageous," I grumbled. She gave a quick nod, and I slightly felt sorry for her. I had been changing my tastes by the second. The proof of that was based on the clothes that were scattered on the bed, but what do I do? I can’t just go to the date looking like a clown. "Should I call Avery to help me out here?" I asked quietly as I chewed at my fingers. Lily pursed her fingers at the clothes she was gathering. "I don’t know, Luna. She may be doing some duties right now. And, the head servant is never lenient when one leaves their duty posts." I sighed as I remembered how true it was. And, I could easily make her a target for some of the maids bullying. That wou
