Roselle did not realize that she had dozed off for a short time while the both of them were calming down in each other's embrace. She only felt so satiated and also protected and secure within that embrace that she must have totally relaxed and drifted off. When she opened her eyes again, what she saw made her face burn with heat, completely embarrassed.Romeo was wiping her down there with a warm wet towel ever so gently. Shocked and surprised, Roselle suddenly closed her legs, trapping his hand between her legs."W-w-what are you –" Roselle could feel herself burning up and her face flushed red as she stammered."Shh… open up, love. Let me –" Romeo on the other hand, was calm and collected. His voice steady and reassuring."But… oh, god..." Roselle's voice was drowned out as Romeo bent and kissed her lips."Still shy, my lovely wife?" he whispered against her lips naughtily as his eyes gleamed at her so gorgeously, and Roselle could only bite down on her cherry lips. Slowly, she rel
Romeo's heart melted at the feel of her gentle hand caressing him softly. But dread also rose within him at her question, like a serpent rising from the depths of its nest in fear. It also made his heart freeze and as though it were encased in ice at the same time. He could not help but feel worried and appalled, knowing that in telling her more about his secrets and revealing the truths that he wanted kept hidden would probably… but did not she already see it all and yet she is still here with him, holding him even closer than ever before! She even fully accepted him and gave her body to him!The realization of these facts brought his guard down and the fire was melting him again. She did not fear him after all that she had seen, she did not run away in disgust by him, instead, she actually embraced him closer. When Roselle was unconscious, Romeo was plagued with the thought of how her reactions to him would be once she opened her eyes. Would she fear him again now that she saw that
"I was born and grew up under the earth Roselle…" he started, and Roselle did her best to keep still at what she heard. Though she could not help but tilt her head to one side as she tried to understand what he meant by that statement. She already knew he had grown up in the dungeon from what his men had told her. But for the fact that he was born there too, was what made her heart clench and ache. "I don't know what exactly happened. Why I was even there in the first place. Something seemed to have happened and I had lost my memories. I just opened my eyes and I found myself running for my life, fighting against all sorts of beasts on my own. There was no one else around me, no one to help me. If I had not found a way to kill and survive, I would have died there at the mercy of those beasts without anyone else knowing. I didn't even know the reason for why I was running away or to where I was supposed to go. I just fought and fought endlessly for days and nights. I believed it was th
Leaning against Romeo's shoulders, Roselle was trying to suppress her little hiccupping spell as well as trying her best to stop her tears, knowing that Romeo would be concerned as well if she cried too long. His gentle caresses soothed her and soon enough, under his gentle coaxing and ministrations, she was able to control her emotions and calm her outward expressions of distress. He was right, he is here with her now, safe, and stronger than that younger boy that he was in the past. She reminded herself that this was the most important thing to her for now.Roselle just continued to hang onto Romeo, quietly hugging him, her arms wrapped tightly around his midsection and hands fisted into his clothes, breathing in deeply and taking in his masculine scent that she loved and feeling this incredible emotion of wanting to be always by his side, if possible, from now on, no matter what happens. She would never let him face and fight his battles – emotional or physical – all alone ever aga
"Huh?" Roselle creased her brows, "who's seducing who again? I just said I'm not worried." Roselle retorted."And why are you not worried, huh? My love?" he raised a perfectly arched brow at her, "are you perhaps thinking that I'm kidding you when I said I will make love with you in every corner of this castle?"Roselle's heartbeat raced at his words and she felt her face become hotter as she began to actually imagined him doing that, making love to her outside their bedroom. "Y-you said… you'll behave," she said as she forced herself to put her attention to the food on her plate instead of the embarrassing things she just thought about. It mortified her that her mind seemed becoming naughtier now."Sometimes…" Romeo continued her words and Roselle was forced to lift her eyes and looked at him. Their eyes met and Roselle thought that he would rise from his seat and pounce on her. But he groaned low and threw his head back. "Good lord…" he uttered as he took a deep breath and grabbed t
Romeo's main aim in quickly bringing her to the garden with the excuse for a walk was to avoid jumping on her like this but here they were, kissing in an open place and he did not know if he could still stop if no one comes to disturb them now. In fact, the reason he thought the garden was safer was because he knew someone would definitely pass by and he was banking on that to wake him up from his desires.But to his surprise, no one came. He could not even feel anyone's presence at all. Gods, could it be that they emptied the garden too? No, wait….could it be that they had even emptied out the whole castle?!Romeo growled low, burying the sounds in Roselle's mouth. His hands had already freed Roselle's breast and was already sucking on them as Roselle clutched onto his hair. It had just happened too fast, and he was behaving like a beast in heat. He felt as though he did not even have the moment to battle against himself. Maybe because Roselle was so welcoming as if she wanted this t
They met Romeo's men by the gate and everyone was hiding their smirks as they confronted Romeo secretly through their eye communication. Though Roselle did not know what they were conversing about, she knew enough that there was some kind of banter going on between the men. However, she happily ignored it for the more fun option of looking forward to their sight seeing adventure into the bright sparkly town."Did you have a good day Your Highness?" they asked mischievously, "I hope you didn't let our efforts go to waste.""Go tell the duke and duchess to return to the castle." Romeo ordered, ignoring his men's words."Oh, and why? We're willing to empty the castle for as long as you want. I mean, until the princess is with the heir."Romeo's expression darkened. As much as he wanted to solo his wife without any interruption, he must always keep in mind his limitations. No matter how great Roselle responds to him, he knew better that his strength was just too much for her to handle if
At one point, a young boy suddenly approached them. He looked up at her and held out a hand that had a flower towards Roselle.Roselle was shocked as she looked at Romeo. Within her eyes, he saw how emotional she was. When Romeo nodded at her, Roselle knelt in front of the boy with a smile as she accepted the flower that was so beautiful it looked very magical. It was glowing under the moonlight."Is this for me?" Roselle gently asked, awed and feeling emotional. She never expected that a boy would actually approach her and even giving her flowers!"Yes, Princess." The boy nodded vigorously as he smiled back, and Roselle could not stop herself from reaching out to the boy."May I hug you?" Roselle asked. This was the very first time a Werewolf approached her without any wariness. And the boy was so adorable and sweet.The boy blinked and then he gazed up at Romeo. When Romeo nodded at him, the boy's smile widened as he jumped into Roselle's embrace as he let Roselle hug him."Thank yo
Roselle was so curious within the protective confines of her thick and furry coat, because it had already been a while since they have left and yet Romeo was still running and leaping. She could tell they had already left Dacria and by now she was certain they were already quite far from the city.Anticipation bloomed in her chest, maybe because this was the first time in a long while she was going out of the secluded city. And he also said he was going to bring her somewhere magical.A long while later, Romeo finally halted but he did not immediately put her down on the ground. He had kept her tucked securely in his arms as he walked."Where are we?" Romeo asked, it was dark, but she could tell that they were in a thick forest."We're now at the border of the Northern empire and Crescent Land."Roselle's eyes immediately widened with shock and alarm. From what she had heard, the Crescent Land, also known as the forbidden land was the most dangerous place in the entire Lirea. It was a
The both of them were silent for a moment as they looked at the necklace. After a couple of seconds, both Romeo and Roselle looked up and their eyes met with similar questions reflected in each other's gaze. What was the meaning of this? Why did this black gem suddenly resonate with Roselle as soon as it touched her skin?Romeo had his brows creased at the strange occurrence. Wealthy Werewolves and even few humans had worn this same gem and they remained black. Never had this event ever occurred before in the long history of the Werewolf. The only known change of color of the gem was only when if it was reflected against the moonlight. Romeo had never known anyone else who could make the gem change its colour into something else aside from black and silver before. If something like this happened before, everyone would definitely know, and most especially him."Oh my god!" Roselle finally exclaimed, wide-eyed, as her gaze darted back and forth between her necklace and Romeo. "This is s
"Does that piece strike your fancy, my love?" Romeo whispered in her ear when he saw her eyeing that peculiar and strange necklace with a black stone set in it. They were currently in a small but tasteful jewellery shop that was along the road where they were strolling by. Romeo noticed that Roselle had been eyeing something in one specific display rack so he guessed it must have been this particular piece which had caught her eye."I never saw one like this before. I used to see diamonds and colourful jewelleries but this one… the stone is so black. What do you call this gem?" Roselle's voice was contemplative, musing about the stone that was set in this necklace. Back in her homeland and as the daughter of the guardian, what kind of jewelleries has she not seen? And which type of gemstones have not graced the storage boxes of their family's home? However, even with the varieties she had seen, this was one that was unique and in a class all on its own."That's from the forbidden land
