“You give us the scroll, and we’ll give you the Alpha position.”

I smirked.

“Fake ones are not for an official agreement, I guess.” My leg crossed over my right with my head tilting side. “May I suggest you to offer the real council pendant?” Because the thing presented on the table was a fake one, a perfect replica but a failed duplicate.

I remember what the council pendant looks like years ago. When Clayton Agassi himself went to Laxon for an agreement with the same mask, stance, and tone. And because I’m a great nosy lady, of course, I had to lurk around that time. Following them to a room so private.

Luckily, I slipped in effortlessly. Because that time, Rocco was already in a good position as a patrol escort. He lets me in through a disguise.

The Council pendant is a key itself. The top part was in a shape of a crescent moon. Besides the moon were a tiny sun and star with a small oceanic blue stone at their center. The stem was colored silv

    “Room for?”“Do you see someone with me?” I replied sarcastically to the woman. This is somewhat an inn perhaps, located along the Madfur Okami border. This pack is all about gold and diamonds, I can call this the most hated pack when it comes to trust and alliance issues. Because basically, Madfur Okami was everyone’s friend as long as they have gold to trade.“N-None,” she replied hesitantly and she quickly fill in the papers and handed me the key. “P-Pay the night, madam.” I let out a deep sigh before sliding out the only bar of gold in my pocket. Thanks to that drunkard I met on the road, and to the hanging clothes on a hous

    “We’ll be out by dawn,” I spoke, waking him up. Slowly, I lifted my body up and proceeded in front of the vanity table.“This early?” Rocco yawned. Stretching his arms and legs from the cramped couch he slept. I started brushing my hair down and looked at him through his reflection in the mirror. “Want to get caught early?” He smirked and chuckled, giving me an eloquent stare. “Being with you? I don’t mind.”“That again?” My eyes rolled automatically. “Stop it. You won’t get an equal part from me,” I plainly replied

Counting a total of twenty-six generals and high-ranked military counselors, Tristan quickly kneeled down on one foot but didn’t take his sight off the Alpha. “A letter from the council, it’s about the Alpha of Shadowstone.” His voice echoed all over the walls of the room, cracking the concentration and supposed meeting they have. The red headed man whom he called Alpha remained sitted on his chair with his forehead creased and his thumb on his chin, covering his lips.“What’s new?” he asked.&

He rolled his eyes and crossed both of his arms over. “I am the Alpha of this territory, how dare you to treat me like a maid,” he complained. “And why would I even keep women’s clothes, ha?” My shoulders shrugged. “So, you don’t? What if your mate comes over?” I teased and lightly shoved his arm. But to my surprise, his expression suddenly changed and he looked at me furiously.“Are you intentionally mocking me?” he blurted plainly.&nb

I bit my lips as I lowered my head afore the locked door. My hands started to tremble and it seems like my voice turned away and that I do no longer know how to speak. He’s frightening.“I only knew one mistake I did to you. I know you loath me. But—" The way he talked. The way the ice between us formed…“—is it too much burden for you to carry even the only thing I ask from you?” &n

    “I waited for a decade to be able to get out from the pack.

Zaetron turned to face me and tilted his head, pointing in the direction where the sun is now rising. “You missed the sunrise.” I smiled at him and diverted my sight to the wide ocean afore me. “I can return here tomorrow. It’s not like the sea would leave its place.”&nbs

A hostage?” I don’t want to admit but why does he look hotter than earlier? ‘Gosh, Denise! He’s just soaked in water, what’s the difference?’ I shook my head to that thought..“Stop staring at me.” But those abs, it’s perfectly packed. And the string of waters dripping on his broad shoulders, his messy drenched hair that now looks more of a black shade than red, that chiseled jaw he has, those sharp eyebrows that match his

    “Hakbang, alisto!” Yells the highest guard personnel in full authority, raising his riffle with its chamber on his shoulder level. He stood in the hold, full of power and control over all the high-skilled patrols. He wears this suit of blue and a red sash-like crossing over his shoulder and on it pinned different crests that, perhaps, represent the high rank he’s in.“Saje, shuwa, taddo!” With the count of the high guard, the terrifying banging of the drums filled the wide court hall. The drum was made out of vertically narrow lengths of wood with a slightly beveled edge to form its torso. Animal skin, probably, is stretched over the torso and was tightened with a rope.

    “No.” I step back away from her. “I got what you need. This, right?” My hand quickly grabbed the scroll from my pocket and showed it to her. “Bring back my memories and I’ll give you the scroll.” But she just sneered at me and held the tip of the scroll with her finger. “I can get the scroll even without your mere help, Denise. Between the two of us, you need help more than I do.” Her hand moved and stroked the air, delivering a swift wind that immediately snatched the thing out of my grip.“Your mother… has agreed to this when she left for that man.” The moon goddess treaded, closing our distance. She lifted her hand and brushed my cheek with the back of her fingers. “You are a child of

    “The sea will not leave and it will not be the last moment we could watch the sunrise together.”“This time you’re not just an imagination anymore. I see you alive and breathing, Soleil.” I tightly closed my eyes and shook my head multiple times hearing those words on repeat inside my head. Not getting my sight off the thing in my hands, I clutched it tighter. The old brown paper and the ancient letterings imprinted on it. The engraved figure of a dragon crossing the crescent moon clasping the rolled paper in place, the emblem of Nightshade. I finally got the venturi scroll. The reason I sneaked in the headquarters of

    Interesting… I leaned my back on the wooden wall while I’m up the wooden beam on the ceiling of the room. Underneath my sight were familiar faces I may have seen somewhere. A woman with short blue tinted hair. And a man with darkened ones, a mustache was on his face. and of course, there’s this guy whom I do not understand who he is to me. Been said that I’m his mate but…“You attempted to kill your first born but he’s been rescued by someone who sees him as a tool he could use.

Every exit equals to four ranked patrol warriors guarding. And to her current state, it will be hard for her to get away if she’s planning to escape.“Letters are already sent by Ferisha to Shadowstone. Sooner or later, they will be here. What are you planning to say to them?” he asked when we reached the furren corridors of the mansion leading to the headquarters. I nodded. “What are the things you’ve discovered? Aside from her fake identity as Jarred’s sister?”“Trist

    “Who are you?” His terrorizing tone sends chills on my spine, adding his piercing killer eyes that slay with just a single stare. His hand wrapped around my neck stiffened that I hardly breathe and all I could do was push his hand away. He’s killing me. Is this the way he usually asks? Or perhaps, a start of his interrogation?“Answer me!” Zaetron growled and his grip tightens, making me gasp and wheeze. Stupid! How would I answer if he’s not letting me go!“Daddy, please don’t hurt mommy!” I heard Keith scream and saw him run towards the man’s legs and wrapped his tiny arms around Zaetron’s leg. “Daddy, I don’t want her to leave us again,” he muttered with his voice cracking. Even if I can’t see him clearly, I know his eyes were now starting to wail up. His voice was pleading, begging… Unexpectedly, hastily as a dash of the wind, I found myself falling down from his grip. And my body crashed like a withered vegetable on the rocky grou

    Chapter 46: Out of the angleThird Person’s POV Palacio di Bulan (Moon’s Palace); A century ago“Avanti!” Palacio di Bulan is a mystical mass of land that floats beneath the space between the earth and the moon. At the center lies a temple that nothing occupies but millions of celosia cristata flowers glowing azure and lilac with a pond in it as the moon’s light darts upon. On the temple’s left side stands a huge castle. It was of marble that reflects the light of the moon. There was a broken brick bridge by the arch entrance that seems like it has been cut intentionally. Like there has to be its other half left behind. There were two cylindrical towers standing on the gate’s sides parted by walls that were engraved with windows. On the inner side was the mansion that was even taller than the entrance towers. Around lives dozens of green trees and on their branches hang lurches and vines of jade plant. Down lingers its blue flowers that resem

    I pulled the fabric on my chin to cover half of my face as I kept my foot attached firm on the highest branch of the tree beside the gushing river of Amtala. It’s almost midday as I have promised Keith. The forest was quiet and lucid as usual. By far I have not seen anything suspicious as is. I was about to lunge down when a tiny voice caught my ears.“Mommy?” A little boy wearing a simple brown shirt and loose blue pants was running towards the tree I’m on. His dark hair tainted red on its tips looks like a fireball dashing if I am to see his head only. I quickly leaped to meet him and a wide smile crept on his face
