“LIRAH YOU’RE GOING to marry me,” Tasyo said firmly after holding her hand tightly and wants to drag her. “S-sir, what are you talking about?” She was so confused when she quickly pulled her hands and took a step back with a disturbance in her mind. She also caressed the hand that was hurt by the old man. “That will never happen! I don’t even know you that well. Aside from the fact that you’re the—”“Your parents said yes!”“M-my parents said y-yes?” Lirah stuttered because she couldn’t believe it. “N-no! They won’t do this to me…”She’s denying it. She’s hoping that she heard him wrong. Her parents won’t do this to her even if she knows to herself that it’s possible—that they really could sell her without even blinking their eyes which even more felt a heartache to her. They are going to abandon me. They don’t care what will happen to me. They don’t love me…Her heart seems to break into a thousand pieces by just imagining the scenario when she’s going home. They will say that she’
THE TREES DANCES as it seems like it's following some rhythm. The wind did not stop blowing while her long hair swayed to which way it was going. Even the leaves seem to be playing with the heavy rain that night. The angry sharp lightning that shot from the sky kept on pacing with the thunder that seemed to be at the edge of its rage. She smiled sadly. Even the weather went along with what she felt.For her, everything seems okay except for one problem, and that is the way she’s going right now… The fog thickens as she enters the heart of the forest. She also feels that someone is watching her and follows her every move. It’s midnight but here she is, fighting in the dark, cold, and heavy rain in the forest. Fear runs down her spine when the wind blows as if it's hugging her body... “N-no… I can do this!” it seemed that no one could defeat Lirah’s desire to see her lover. She’s eager and determined. She’s ready to face what comes her way.When she chooses to face this direction, s
"IS LOVING SOMEONE a mistake?"She shook her head once again. Up until now, she can hear the voice of Aro. She must have gone crazy to hear him.“Yes, I am crazy. That’s it! I am crazy,” her eyes widened as she shook her head left to right and fast. “Why do I need to hear your voice right now?”"For a month, I forced myself to forget you. But even though so many things ran through my mind, I still couldn't help it. In the end... my heart still beats for you... only you, Lirah."Lirah gradually raised her gaze. Her vision blurred when she saw the figure of a man in front of her.“A-aro, is it really you?” she’s asking because she feels like this is just a dream.“Who else?”“Y-your wolf helped me again…she saved me…” She’s talking about her encounter with Tasyo and his men because she wants to calm down. She wants to restrain herself from hugging him for the reason that she’s afraid she will not allow herself to let him go.“I don’t know what I will do to them if something happens to y
LIRA’S MIND is confused as she sees the man that she loves struggling to fight for them. She takes all the blame for why he is in this dire situation now.They never stop running as if they are also escaping from everything. Her, being as an obedient daughter, while he, is from being the alpha king of all the werewolves. She knows how Aro was ready to sacrifice his life for his pack. He’s ready to protect his people with all his might. If it wasn't for her, he wouldn't do this stupidity. Now, she’s questioning herself if it is right for them to run away if their only sin is being in love with each other. She doesn’t know…Lirah couldn’t find the answer to her question.She wants to ask Aro what they are going to do now that they look like a deer that the hunter catches for fun and this whole field was their hunting ground. But she didn't dare to ask him because she was worried that Aro wouldn't lie to her.It seems like something bad is going to happen and she felt it.Lirah looked a
LIRAH FELT A sudden thirst and hunger. She also feels like her stomach is tightening and experiences severe body pain. She didn't open her eyes immediately and pretended she hadn't woken up yet just to feel and be aware of what was in her surroundings.She has to be careful as much as possible. The forest is not just the territory of Aro, but also of his enemies. If there is anyone to find out who she is, it will bring turmoil to his pack which she doesn’t want to happen.She believes that Aro is still alive and waiting for her. If they reunite one day, she dreams that everything will go smoothly because she doesn’t want to cause more trouble. If fate allows them to meet again, she also promises that she will be brave this time and will be strong for both of them. Lirah also knows that what she’s thinking is impossible because her eyes saw what happened that night but this is the only thing she’s holding on to. This is the only way for her to be completely sane in her crazy world.On
SHE DOESN’T KNOW anything about the Lycans. She doesn't want to gamble for her conscience."What’s your name?” the woman asked her again.“Name?” Lirah acted as if she was asking herself before she looked at the couple. “What is my name? I—I don’t know…”They look at Lirah with disbelief. Looks like they didn't buy it but she needs to stand with her words and continue what she has started.“You don’t know?”The Lycan couple looked at each other occasionally. Both were estimating what they were going to say again. On the other side, Lirah is reading the next move of the couple. Even the hunger that she had been feeling for a while has been completely forgotten. She needs to visit his grandmother who is the sister of her late grandmother. She is the only one who could help her. To do that, she needs to get out of this place safely.Before her late grandparents died, they strictly instructed her that if something bad happened, she must visit the remaining family that they had. "We will
ARO LEANING HISback like a king to his chair where an alpha is the only one who can sit. He’s wearing nothing from his top which gives access to anyone to see his fit masculine body as if it was carved by the best sculptor. The different scars made by claws are visible on his skin. This will prove that he didn’t climb up to where he is easily.
WHEN THE VAMPIREentered, the wolves inside the hall became aggressive. Anger can be seen immediately in them while their mortal enemy is in the middle of the mansion. The others are restraining themselves from making a move and tearing the vampire apart.War can happen if Aro says something. The moment that he speaks
WITCHES HAS BEEN ignoring Lirah since the last argument she has with them and she doesn’t care. What’s important to her is they are not picking a fight but they become civil to each other to achieve their common goal.Just like before, everyone is busy with their own task inside the coven while Annita has been looking for her daughter till dusk comes. But until now she has failed to find her. That's why Lirah steps in to help her. Lirah tries to contact her but it’s no use no matter how many times she dialed her phone.Thinking about their last encounter with those bullies, she couldn’t help but get worried. She’s hoping that they didn’t drag her to that place once again because it’s too dangerous to roam around the area now that the vampires don’t have restrictions to do whatever they want.Lirah looked out to all the places Annie always hangs out in the city but she couldn't find Annita's daughter. Until the night came they didn’t get any news about her whereabouts.When the wind bl
THE FOG GETS thick that night as if it can devour the whole heart of the forest. The sharp eyes of the werewolves keep blending into the darkness. Their fangs are visible as if they seem to be able to snap at anyone who gets in the way of what they have to do. They were all vigilant and didn't care about the cold night. Every move is calculated but ready to attack anyone whenever Aro gives his command. Their senses got more heightened now that there was an intruder in their territory. They were extremely stubborn to go home just to find the vampires who got the nerve to enter the off-limits area. That’s what they have been doing since the sudden death of Nana. Relaxing becomes a stranger to them. Everyone gives their best just to protect the people.The moment they hear the howl of the lead hunters at the north border gives a signal about the prey who are luring the area, ten werewolves run in the other direction in furry.Just like other werewolves Solstice Enigma are territorial pa
LIRAH LOOKED AT their empty house the moment she entered the house. She knew that this was what she could see now but she’s still not used to a quiet house. As if there’s no difference from her previous life.Her tears suddenly fell the moment she saw the picture of Nana. She seems brave when she was arguing with the witches the moment before but she’s wearing her mask so no one will hurt her like what happened to Nana’s funeral. She’s tired of blaming herself for things that can’t control. She’s tired of being weak without having a chance to stand by on her own. Lirah found herself inside the library where she could see the different books about witches and witchcraft. Everything is labeled so it's easy to find what she’s looking for. Sometimes she’s here to read some spells that Nana wanted to let her know but when she died, Lirah couldn’t bring herself to come in place. All she could feel was grief and pain.Her eyes landed on the history section where could access to find out abo
LIRAH’S DETERMINATION TO get the witch's side is so high that she’s ready to take all her blame even if she forgot how low she made herself. When Lirah made a promise to Nana, she didn't forget it and made sure she followed everything with all of her heart. This is the only thing she can do now—look out to the coven to make sure that everything is in peace.Being kidnapped by the werewolf doesn't stop her from continuing what she has to do. She's scared. Of course. She's just an ordinary witch who doesn't know how to use her ability to protect herself and others. Aside from that, there's nothing special about her that she can be proud of. Being a Neoma and Monroe doesn't guarantee her success in doing what she really has to do. She needs to put in more hard work to earn something in return.Because of the trauma of walking at
LIRAH DOESN'T HAVE the excitement of waking up unlike before. The house that she thought would be filled with good memories is now a place where she couldn't stand to stay.She misses the smell of cinnamon wood that Nana has been using every morning, she misses how they start their day with freshly baked bread every morning accompanied by a hot cocoa that has been usually prepared for her.Even if Calvin doesn't eat the food that they used to eat, he stays because Joanne is there with a big amount of food on her plate, especially the protein that she needs to start her day.Lirah didn’t know what to do if Joanne hadn't saved them the day when Annie and she were trapped in an alley with a vampire. She may be dead by now if not because of Joanne.
LIRAH HAS NOT been on herself for the past three days. The house was quiet, empty, and lonely as her soul. She couldn’t bring herself to eat either. She only remembered the happy days when they were together at the dining table.She doesn’t know how to face Joanne and Calvin too. She knows that they are mad at her because she’s the reason why Nana is not on their side now that’s why she did not dare to talk to them.“I should not wake up. I would not have left the house,” if she had made the right decision, this wouldn’t happen to her. “Maybe Nana is still alive…”Today is Nana's funeral. They were performing the witch’s ritual to honor the death of the witches. It can be seen t
LIRAH’S CELL PHONE kept ringing which caused her to wake up in the middle of the night. If somebody asks, she doesn’t want to get up because her whole body is aching not just because of the training but also because of the spell that Nana performs to her when the full moon comes. It’s tiring that she even felt that her soul was taken away from her body. Also, she just fell asleep that even lasted two hours.Lirah answers the phone after the fifth ring. She was just about to speak to ask who was calling when she heard sobbing on the other line.“Vivianne?” she can’t hide the concern from her voice. She wants to know what happened to her friend because even though she was not by her side, she could feel her nervousness and fear. “Why are you crying? Are you okay?”
IT’S BEEN A long hell month for Lirah. She’s ready to trade her life just to go out of Nana’s place, even just for one day.For the whole three months, all she can do is train her mind and body to be ready for all the situations that will come in her life. No matter what she does now, she knows that she’s not ready yet. She still has many things she does not know and needs to learn.At first, when Nana said that they would be stricter with her, she didn’t know that it involved burning her mind to memorize some spell that belonged to their bloodline. She didn’t know that Joanne would treat her like a wolf, and she would be taken too to the forest to learn to hunt for food without coming back to Nana’s house for three days. She also trains like a vampire who’s ready to become fast and can read
“THANK YOU FOR being patient with me, Annita!” Lirah said with a big smile. “I learn a lot from you. I promise I won’t forget all of it!”“Anything, Lirah,” Annita, one of Nana’s friends, genuinely smiled at her.“Please, tell me when you're annoyed at my mouth. You know, everything is new to me. Even though my life started just when Nana took care of me, I want to learn fast to help her,” Lirah said shyly. “My old life is just about cleaning, doing what my adoptive parents would be pleased with, and sleeping after my body gets tired of working the whole day. Apart from that, I'm an idiot, especially when it comes to what's going on in the coven and life.”Annita couldn’t
