"Truth or dare!" Archie exclaimed as he raised his right hand high.
Ash, Gabe and Lyla were shocked when they heard Archie's cry which sounded like a call to war. How come? At that time the four of them were struggling with a pile of books and stationery respectively. They are in the middle of a group study activity. Everyone was completely focused on their own work, and Archie was the only person starting to seem bored with the silence they had created forty-five minutes ago. Archie had been trying hard to contain his sleepiness and boredom. However, it seemed that his efforts had been defeated by his jaws trying to get him to let out a loud steam. "Hoaaammmz!" Archie yawned as he spread his arms out. And accidentally hit Ash and Lyla's head who was sitting on his right and left side. The two of them put their writing utensils down hard. Simultaneously. While throwing a sharp gaze full ofAfter parking his motorbike in a hidden place, not far from the entrance to the forest, Ash ran briskly towards the usual route he and Leona took to the cabin. The place where they spend time together.As expected. Leona was at the front of the cabin, sitting in her usual spot. The second rung has always been Leona's favorite place. She deliberately rested her arms slightly on stair number four, the top rung of the ladder that merges with the front floor of the cabin.She changed her sitting position when she realized Ash was there. Her eyebrows were raised up, making the bases seem almost together. Confused.Leona didn't seem to have called or even told anyone that she would be coming to the cabin to be alone like now.Ash would always come to her with a slightly bent face, as if he was worried about something."Are you alright?" Ash asked a little worriedly.Ash settled himself on the same steps Leona had chosen
"Are you interested in hearing the story, Ash?" Leona asked with emphasis on the first three words. "I do." Ash said confidently. Leona took the time to turn her head, looking into Ash's eyes, looking for the sincerity of the words he said earlier. "Don't women always need a man who wants to hear all the stories?" there was not the slightest doubt from Ash's question. As if he had said that sentence quite often, he even seemed to know very well how to make girls believe his words. Including Leona. She gave a small nod in response."Then we head—" Before Leona could answer, Ash had already cut in. As if she knew what Leona would say next. "Dash doesn't count for sightseeing, Leona." cut off Ash while embracing Leona's waist as Leona was about to dash. The girl let out a resigned sigh as Ash tried to stop her. Five seconds later she lowered her gaze, looking at Ash's hands still
"I-I... T-that.. Out of my control." Leona stutters.She closed her eyes for a moment, trying to recall some of the moments she had spent with Damien. Leona shook her head quickly as she opened her eyes in one jolt as some bad things flashed through as she thought things over."Never mind. That was my biggest mistake." Leona whispered."Did you like it?" investigate Ash."Who?" Leona raised an eyebrow."Damien." said Ash."That was my biggest mistake, Ash!" Leona shrieked angrily.Silence. Neither Ash nor Leona, both fell silent after the scream earlier. They just stared at each other with slightly shaking eyes."If you had to do it one more time. Would you like it again?" Again Ash couldn't keep his curiosity hidden.Leona shrugged her shoulders along with the resigned sigh that she accidentally let out again. Rea
Malia stared blankly at the all-white bathroom ceiling. Every now and then she closed her eyes, feeling the warmth that ran all over her skin surface. The lavender scent from the several candles lit in the room really felt so calming. For a moment she felt so missed the figures of her late mother and father.Usually, her parents would panic when she was in the bathroom for too long, especially when she almost fell asleep in the bath tub like she was doing right now. Her mother and father would lecture at length every time she lingered in the bathroom. They say that the bathroom is the favorite place of the invisible creatures. And lingering in the bathroom is not recommended.Malia submerged her head in the water, trying to keep her tears from falling without being asked. A flash of bad memories also flashed. She remembers very well what happened to her entire family. Her mother, father, as well as her two younger siblings died horribly while she was strugg
That morning, a few hours after breakfast, Leona and her mother, Rosalie, and Malia decided to gather in the backyard just to chat while enjoying a cup of tea with their respective favorite aromas.Rosalie took a sip of her roselle tea while closing her eyes as the fragrance wafted over and overtook her sense of smell. Rosella tea or red tea is one of Rosalie's favorite drinks. Ah no. It seemed that all red drinks were Rosalie's favorite. All the members of the Argent family knew that. Including Malia.Rosalie opened her eyes again with a smile as she felt her body so refreshed after sipping and inhaling the aroma of the tea. Rosalie put her clear cup on the table, then turned all her attention to the two girls who were sitting in silence while dreaming with their teacups perfectly gripped in each other's hands."So... Wanna talk with me?" Rosalie opened the chat.These two girls turned around while flashing a smile at Rosalie who had smil
"Let me and Luca follow Leona." said Loui as Rosalie was about to leave, leaving Malia trying to reach for her teacup.Without waiting for confirmation from Rosalie, Loui rushed after Luca who was far ahead. Loui knew, Rosalie would entrust everything to him as well as Luca.It didn't take long for the two to meet Leona. The girl was sitting leaning against a large tree while hugging her knees."Go home." Loui's brief command managed to blur Leona's thoughts.She turned and looked at the two men who were standing in front of her alternately. Loui's face looked fresh as usual, in contrast to Luca who looked too pale; not like usual."Let us go home!" take Leona to both of them. There was a slight tremor in the sentence of the invitation.How not, Leona looked worried when she saw Luca's face that looked so pale. Too pale. Leona stretched out her right hand to Luca which she warmly welcomed."Hey, Loui!" Leona called to Lo
"You said we were different." said Ash."What do you mean?" replied Louis confused."You're a vampire and I'm a werewolf" Ash answered innocently. "Different, isn't it?"Loui sighed in resignation as he rubbed his face. "Are you innocent or what?" he complained.Ash frowned in confusion. He tilted his head to the right, looking at Loui who was starting to look annoyed on the other side. "I'm just telling the truth. Why do you look upset?" Ash still looked confused by Loui's contradicting words and expressions."Never mind. Forget everything I said earlier." Loui suggested surrender.Even though he still didn't understand the actual situation, Ash could only nod and obeyed Loui's orders. "Hmmm. All right." he agreed.Loui shook his head, completely not understanding the Alpha's attitude. "Haven't you been on a date in 18 years on your life?" investigate.Ash gave a faint nod. "Looks like Leona is the fi
Leona immediately slapped Ash's arm roughly as she turned her face that looked flushed. "Shut up! Don't be nice to me." Ash nodded slowly. "I'm just being nice. Not as sweet as you think." he answered. Leona cupped her cheeks as she lowered her gaze. It's a shame to have misunderstood like this. In the next second Leona turned her body – about to sprint. But Ash swiftly restrained her because the place was quite crowded with visitors. "Wait for me." he asked while embracing Leona's waist — taking Leona to the restaurant building.Wanted to refuse, but was already embarrassed. Finally she let Ash's arms wrap perfectly around her waist. Warm. Ash's big arms felt so warm. The next split second Leona caught Ash's big hand, holding it tightly. Then she turned and glared at him. Ash stopped in his tracks and turned around."What is wrong?" shoot Ash. "I'm just trying to control your wiggle room. Not acting like a guy trying to protect his girl." Ash
Since the incident that day Lyla has never appeared anywhere, even her cell phone number is not active. Even her aunts, uncles, and cousins never knew where Lyla had gone. What they know, that night Lyla just said goodbye to go see someone armed with her favorite purple long coat. For three months, all members of the police force were deployed to look for Lyla. But one day, all their efforts to no avail. nothing.And in the end, the entire Justice Family gave up looking for Lyla. However, they continued to place paid advertisements that were broadcast on all National and Private Television stations about the disappearance of one of their family members. On the other hand, Archie who still can't reduce his love for Malia chooses to date any girl. To this day, Archie's new identity as a Hybrid is still a secret—not publicly disclosed. It's just that, when someone asks, he will admit that he is a Hybrid. And without hesitation he will tell the series of events that made
Ash focused his entire attention on Rosalie, his gaze fixed on the woman in red in front of him. Even though Rosalie appeared resigned, he knew that as a mother, Rosalie wanted to use all of her strength to find her beloved daughter's body.They scattered through the forest in a straight line—parallel to facilitate common ground when they found what they were looking for—at that moment, after each gave a nod of agreement. *** At Skarsgard Castle Gabe and his two friends were visibly concerned as they observed some of the sturdy structures partially collapsing. Not at all, contrary to what Loui previously stated. Instead of being completely destroyed by fire, the classic structure was only partially destroyed.The Beta has surrounded every corner of the castle, looking for a safe entrance to assist the eldest Argent who is still inside.When he was about to bring his four legs into one of the building's corners, a pair of hands restrained all of his movem
Rosalie just nodded when she heard all kinds of information conveyed by the big tall man in front of her. He reported about the fight that took place between Ash, Damien and Leona. And the girl became the only victim in the incident. While Stefan and Charles could only sigh, Malia was the only one shedding tears, and Luca looked so angry when he heard the whole series of events. "What about Loui?" Malia asked the big man in front of them. The girl looked so worried about the situation of the Eldest Argent who had now become part of the Skarsgard Family. "Is Loui all right there?" asked Malia again. The man was silent, unable to give a definite answer to the petite girl in front of him, because he had not yet had time to enter Skarsgard Castle when he arrived at the frontier. In the next split second he shrugged his shoulders, then gave a faint nod in response. "Sorry, Malia. I don't know how he's doing. Just pray that he's okay now." Malia n
Loui calmly let go of Irina's grip in one jolt, then pulled a sheet of iron cover on the side of the furnace —closing the hole immediately. In an instant the huge hole was completely closed. Loui could only hear Irina's screams after the hearth had been stuffed with thick iron sheets. "Sorry, Irina. This is not the day I died." Loui's monologue before he finally made his way down the stairs and looked for the rest of the castle's inhabitants. Lucien, and Victoria of course.***The forest that Ash and Damien had previously used as a place to fight was quiet again as before being touched by the two. Only the chirping of owls can be heard when the night is on duty to replace all the carefree chirping that only appears when the sky is clear. A pair of feet entered the forest, occasionally stopping in their tracks while looking around —scanning every corner. The owner of the legs again moved towards the only big tree that was there
CRASH!Damien separated the girl's head from her body in one strong tug. At the same time Ash turned around. His body froze as he saw Damien's hand holding the girl's head which had been separated from her body."Take this!" Damien threw the girl's head at Ash who was frozen on the other side. "Have fun with her!" Damien laughed. His husky voice rose, filling all the silence and darkness that began to cover the forest. He was still reluctant to leave the place —wanting to see what kind of reaction the Alpha would show when he saw his girl was dead because of his actions. Ash spontaneously caught what Damien threw in front of him. He hugged her, then looked at the girl's face which looked much paler. He rubbed the girl's previously closed eyelids. A few seconds after Ash brought his leg to the place where the girl's body fell. With shaking hands, the Alpha lifted the piece of the body —carrying it to a tree house not far from where he s
"Go home. I know what I have to do." The baritone voice was firm and deep. Different than usual. Not like Ash she really knew. Even his sharp glare looked different. Dark. As Damien showed when he witnessed all the intimacy they displayed in front of him. Without saying anything Ash also Damien shifted and flocked towards the pine forest behind the hills. Leona gave chase, but swiftly —without considering all the risks, Damien waved one hand at the girl who was trying to tail him and the Alpha. The girl was thrown far away —rolling off the top of the hill. In the next split second Damien waved his hand again, then made a movement like he was tying something from a distance. At the same time Leona groaned as her body felt like it was bound. Ash turned around, jumped into the air with part of his body starting to grow gray fur, then lunged and attacked Damien with his wolf body. Damien collapsed and counterattacked —avoiding all sorts of
"Can't you stop talking?" She asked.Leona repeated her words for the umpteenth time. She desired to do something other than converse with the young man in her arms."I’ll do. But, can you promise me one thing?" Ash's expression was solemn. In contrast to what he had previously demonstrated. He meant what he said, and he expected the girl to make a vow to him.Leona paused for a moment, taking a deep breath before responding to the Alpha's request. "Go ahead and do it. Declare it." She posed a challenge."Please allow me to set you free. Will you? "The Alpha replied with all the sincerity he could muster through his gaze.Leona frowned in confusion. The bases of her brows almost fused together—meeting at the same point. She was nervous. Not reluctant to answer, it's just that she knows the true meaning of the Alpha's words. She realized that Ash knew what she was dealing with right now. Through his sharp gaze, he gave a sign which was
Silence. The girl in front of him remained silent. Her glance, too, was bland and expressionless. It appears to be both cold and frightening.Aware of the situation, Ash gently placed a helmet over Leona's head, ensuring that it fit properly and protected one of the girl's most valuable portions of her body.After successfully donning the headgear, Ash mounted his motorcycle, started it, and held out his right hand in front of the girl, intending to assist her in riding his iron horse, which was large and tall, making it difficult for the girls to ride. After Leona sat safely behind Ash's back and hugged him from behind, Ash stepped on the gas. The girl was deafeningly quiet, didn't say anything, and her face was not as animated as it had been. Despite the fact that he didn't believe he had done anything wrong or even hurt Leona's feelings, Ash chose to pull over to the side of the road and talk to her."Hey?"Ash rubbed Leona's skin with his two thumbs aft
Ash kept smiling—he'd been staring at his reflection in the mirror for 15 minutes. He continued to examine himself from head to toe, including the clothes that were on his body at the time.Ash could hide a pile of clothes he'd been trying on for 30 minutes if he shifted a little behind his back. He was really busy figuring out what clothes and looks would suit Leona, doing all sorts of things with her for an entire day, as he had promised her a few days before.***"Can we have a picnic in the hills, Leona, your parents' favorite spot?"Leona's round eyes narrowed as she suspected something. "Are you trying to ask me out on a date?" Leona confidently inquired."If so, will you refuse?" Ash asked, nodding without hesitation.Leona's left brow furrowed as she clearly heard the Alpha's bold, defiant response. The young man appeared to be becoming more daring in expressing his will. Leona took a deep breath and folded her arms across her chest, h
