Chapter Twenty-sevenAlexa's Point Of View"I could eat more of this," I watched as he shoved more bread into his mouth. His stuffed cheeks made him look like a chipmunk. Cute. He gulped down his cup of tea and let out a satisfactory sigh. "That was so good," he said and I grinned proudly. I should make him dinner more often. He seems to like eating. "Of course, I made it." He smiled and kissed my forehead. "Thanks," "You're welcome," I said bashfully. He packed the used plates to the sink and began to wash them. "You should have let me wash them," I said and he shook his head. "You prepared the food. It's only right that I wash the dishes." He said and I smiled. He's such a husband material. Wait up, what am I saying? I looked at him and found him smiling sheepishly to himself. What could be so funny? "What's funny?" I asked and he turned to me. He shrugged. "I'm just happy," "Why so happy?" "Because I have you? Are you not enough reason to be happy?" He asked and I pursed
THE EASTERN EMPIREMILES AWAY FROM WHITE MOUNTAIN PACKRiaz's Point Of ViewBreathing heavily, I set under a palm tree on the beach. I took off the hoodie of my cloak and reached for the bottle of water in my backpack. Like a thirsty camel, I gulped it down thirstily. I've been journeying for a whole week. I didn't know what I was thinking when I left the pack. Maybe I just couldn't take it. It was hard walking and seeing him. He rejected me. I was no longer a brother nor a friend to him. I was just Riaz. I thought, maybe I should pretend like I was not affected. Maybe I should act as I've always done but I couldn't. Even if I could, my pretense would fall the moment I see him with a woman so I decided it was best to leave. I wouldn't be able to bear the heartache so I left. I had nowhere to go. I didn't know where I came from. No friends from outside so I just kept walking. I kept walking until I got to this beach. Gosh, why is the sun so harsh over here? It's scorching hot and I f
Chapter Twenty-nineRAVEN PACKRaga's Point Of View"My Lord!" I got on my knees in respect in front of him. "And why are just just returning?" He asked as he drew in smoke from the tobacco in his hands. "I...we lost her. We lost her to the man." He faced me and I lowered my gaze. "So? Did you find out who he is?" "N..no, my Lord but he...he is a wolf." He raised his brow. "A wolf strong enough to take down five of the best vampires in the pack?" I nodded. "I also couldn't believe it. His wolf was huge. Bigger than any wolf I've ever seen before. He was of two colours, red and white." I left Alexa with my men to go check out a safe route for us to pass. I did not expect that they would go into blood lust. It was her scream I heard that made me come running. I did not expect that I would behold an amazing sight. His wolf was huge. Has huge as ten regular wolves combined. It was a fascinating sight - him tearing the vampires into pieces with just one blow. I knew if I joined the
Chapter ThirtyAlexa's Point Of View"You could have at least told someone before you left," I said. Ace turned to me and I raised a brow. He didn't notice me when he came in. I had been waiting for him in the hallway since morning. "You left home yesterday and came back a day later without dropping a letter or something." "I don't remember where it's stated that I have to report to you everywhere I go." "There is nothing like that but be considerate. You had everyone worried. I thought you had gone haywire like Riaz." I said. "Right. Sorry about that." He said apologetically and I hummed in understanding. "So...where did you go to? Did you go to search for Riaz?" I asked and he nodded. Gosh, poor guy. "Any leads?" I asked and he shook his head sadly. "It's okay. We'll find him. For now, just go and rest. You must have walked a lot." I said and he smiled wearily. "Thanks, Alexa." "You are always welcome.""Where is Akira?" He asked and I shrugged. "He's been gone since yest
Chapter Thirty-oneAlexa's Point Of View"Are we there yet?" I asked for the umpteenth time. "Calm down, Alexa, we are almost there." I rolled my eyes. "You've said that five times now." "Are you tired?" He asked and I nodded poutingly. He bent before me and tapped his shoulder. "Get on my back.""Really?" I asked and he nodded. I got on his back and he rose to his feet and resumed walking. I wrapped my arms around his neck and rested my head on his shoulder. "Alexa..." He called and I hummed. "What was your first thought when you saw me?" He asked. "Why the sudden question?""I just wanna know." "Wasn't it obvious?" He shook his head. "My first thought, huh..?" I thought deeply about that night. Our first meeting. The night the world stopped the moment he pulled me into that corner and I stared into his eyes. "He's got beautiful eyes," I said and he chuckled. "What? That was what I first noticed about you so I thought you had beautiful eyes. Well, until I found out abou
Chapter Thirty-twoAlexa's Point Of View"Oh, my days! He popped the question?" Luna mother asked and I nodded excitedly. She clapped her hands like a delightful kid as she squealed in happiness. Her action made me laugh in amusement. Raya wasn't left out. She jumped up and down excitedly, giggling like a baby. "Really?" She asked again and I nodded. "Ah! Finally!" She carried Cyan under her shoulder and began walking to and fro. "You'll need a lot of things. Clothes, shoes, bags, hair, make-up!" "What colours do you like?" Raya suddenly asked. "What food?" "Guys...""What about decorations?" "So you prefer flower crowns or a simple crown." "Guys!" I snapped, and they stopped fidgeting. "Jeez, I know you guys are excited but calm down, will you? You guys are just bombarding me with questions that I don't even know the answer to." "Ah," Raya mouthed. "Sorry." She said sheepishly and came to sit beside me. Luna mother sat on my other side and placed Cyan on my lap. I haven't
Chapter Thirty-threeAlexa's Point Of View"Alice! Alice! Alice wake up!"It was my wedding day. I was clad in a wedding dress that weighed a ton. I imagined my husband taking it off me on the night of our wedding as we have our first night together as husband and wife. I thought my wedding would be the most joyous day of my life but here I am, standing beside my supposed husband, watching him try his possible best to revive a strange woman. His wedding clothes were stained with her blood. It angered me. I was frustrated. Why now? Why did she have to show up? Who was she to have him shaken up on the night that was supposed to be our happiest? Who the hell is she to stain his wedding clothes with her blood? I sound petty and inconsiderate right now but I hate the fact that all attention was on her, on my wedding! "This is not good. Let's get her treated." Xena said and before she could try to help carry the woman, Akira had already carried her in bridal style. He should just let
Chapter Thirty-fourAlexa's Point Of View"Akira," she called again. I cursed under my breath and looked up at Akira. He smiled apologetically and I rolled my eyes. "Alice," he called as he withdrew from the embrace. He kept his arm around my waist as we approached her. She was on crutches and her arm and head were bandaged. Did she fight a tiger or something? "Alice, you shouldn't be out here," Akira said as she came to a stop in front of us. "I couldn't find you anywhere so I decided to find you," she said smilingly. Her gaze met mine and she gasped. "You must be Alexa." I raised a brow. You must be Alexa? The audacity. I opened my mouth to talk but Akira beat me to it. "She's your highness to you, Alice." Akira corrected as his hand left my waist to hold my hand. "She's your Luna." He added. "Ah! I'm sorry, your highness," she said, bowing apologetically. She raised her head and said, "you must have been very annoyed about last night." She said sadly. "I didn't mean to crash
