ANOTHER TRADE?
“I know it is late. But, I’m sorry.”
It was crazy how mere words agitated her. She felt as if someone set her heart on fire. The suffocation blurred her vision and left her brain in a daze. If these words were meant to make her feel better, they didn’t. She never felt so angry in her life, perhaps it went as far as to surpass the anger she had all these years.
But was that even possible? Could anything surpass the anger she had for losing her family?
The answer was yes.
When you meet the one who killed your family.
Her hands clenched into fists next to her thigh, they quivered with suppressed anger. The council room went silent, carefully watching to see Ophelia’s reaction. But inside

Novaturient: Crescent Lovers REUNITED
“Ophelia is dead.”At that moment, Ophelia’s body went cold. Was it the breeze that blew through the window or was it the effect of her brother's words? She wasn’t sure. Noah stood as stunned as her. When his eyes met Luke, they were confused, as if this was their first encounter.“Luke you–,” Ophelia paused, gathering her thoughts. “You don’t remember?”“I…” Luke started, his eyes scanning the unfamiliar room in a dream-like gaze. “I don’t know what you are talking about, and who are you?” He stressed his last words out, his eyes narrowed in confusion. Everything about the woman by his side was familiar. She resembled him like a twin, like his sister. The platinum hair, violet eyes, her pale skin. It all screamed to him that it was his sister, yet, it was impossible. Ophelia was dead. In the back of his mind, the last memory he had when he was still sane was the loss of his sister. The night of the arson was the only truth he knew. Ophelia noticed that something was off, just like

“You need to stop before you start something you can’t handle,” Noah murmured. A shaky breath escaped as he caught Ophelia’s eyes, he could see the confusion in her eyes as she tried to find an answer. He had no idea what face he had on right now. Ophelia, on the other hand, could see him. She felt his hot breath on her skin as she felt him defying the urge within him. The places where their skin met were on fire, yet she couldn’t withdraw her hands. Almost like a magnet drew them together, she felt the butterflies in her stomach. Since when did Noah have this effect on her? They used to duel each other, they were more than just close. Their bodies tangled with each other fiercely every other day, and she had never once felt this tingling feeling in her stomach. It was only pure adrenaline pumping in her veins with excitement. Now all she could hear was her heartbeat in her ears, the blood rushing to her head, and her weak knees.His crimson eyes staring at her did not make it any
Novaturient: Crescent Lovers UNIFORM
“We will make a play.”Under different circumstances, Ophelia would take Noah’s words as a joke or a mockery. But considering the situation and the stern expression on his face, it was impossible to rule the statement as mere mockery. Noah was already coming up with a plan to shock them all. That has been his way all along. Even when they spared, Noah always had tricks up his sleeves. He never used it on her, that was why she always won. However, now there was no need to hold back. This was a full-on attack. Noah was going to use every trick up his sleeves and hope they all worked in their favor. “Play as in…act?” Lord Everett questioned, cutting the other Alphas chattering.Noah didn’t reply and glanced over in Enzo’s direction. Ophelia followed his gaze and understood his concern. He didn’t want to speak before a traitor. Yes, Enzo had his reasons. But it was not enough reason to trust him yet. “I’ll excuse myself,” Enzo said, getting to his feet. “I would like to be escorted to
Novaturient: Crescent Lovers CHASITITY
“I love you, Ophelia,” he said, his voice breathy on her wet lips.He saw the daze in her violet eyes as they scanned him for an answer. He wanted to know what was on her mind. Every thought, every move she made, her every decision. He wanted to be a part of her, hold her close. Ophelia could see the desire in his scarlet eyes, they shimmered as they caught the light from the chandelier hovering over them, the only witness to their desires acting out on them. Ophelia brought up her arms, wrapping them around his neck. He understood what he had to do, gently grabbing her by her thighs, carrying her in his arms to place her on the table. Their heartbeats synched together in a steady tempo as their chests touched. The rustling trees outside the window sounded like music to their fevered minds. Ophelia slowly spreaded her legs, giving room to Noah. They felt impossibly close to each other, she felt all of him on her. His gaze roamed her every bit, his hands following along, leaving a hot
Novaturient: Crescent Lovers MY REASON TO RETURN
For the day Ophelia chose to wear a high-neck chiffon blouse with long sleeves. All for the sake of hiding what she and Noah did all night long. She stood in front of the mirror struggling with the button behind her neck. Noah was by the bed, rolling up the sleeves of his button-up shirt from the day before, he decided to drop by his chambers later to change it. When turned around, he finally noticed her struggling. He covered the distance between them in long strides before he reached out to do it for her, gently brushing her platinum hair aside. Ophelia watched him as he approached her in the mirror, with every step he took toward her, her heart skipped a beat. Her eyes lingered on him as he focused on the work at hand.Seeing him after everything that happened set butterflies loose in her stomach. She kept going back to the passionate night they spent. And morning. The way their skin touched. The warmth that engulfed her through the night. Despite the summer heat, it felt as if Noa
Novaturient: Crescent Lovers IT'S NEVER TOO LATE
“He is with me,” Noah said, clasping Luke’s shoulders. Ophelia narrowed her eyes, carefully inspecting the two men. She noticed how they were close in height despite the age gap. Luke is three years younger than Noah, yet he is already catching up to him. Not to mention that Luke still didn’t come of age. She couldn’t help but doubt the friendliness going on between them. “You know,” Ophelia said, touching her hip. “It’s hard to believe that you were both at each other’s throats just a few days ago.”“Same goes for you,” Noah said, smirking as he lifted one of his brows. “You shot your brother, might I remind you.” “Wait a minute,” Luke exclaimed, his eyes dilated as he raised a hand to pause the conversation. “Ophelia you – you shot me?!” Ophelia shifted her weight from one leg to another, her brows flinching as she said, “Oh, I did. Right after you stabbed Noah.” “I stabbed you!?” Luke said, quickly turning sideways to look at Noah, who was also avoiding him. Noah might have for
Novaturient: Crescent Lovers FAMILY
Unlike the previous sunny day, it was cloudy today when Ophelia pulled open the curtains. She sighed at the sight, predicting it would rain later in the day. Now it was more befitting the mood. She could feel the gloominess and the tension in the air in her room. It was quieter than the usual mornings, no servants or citizens were going about their daily lives. The only ones left behind are the soldiers. She saw knights walking in teams beyond the gates from her window. They weren’t dressed in their usual attire either, instead, they wore colorful civilian clothing. She could spot the red shawls wrapped around their arms; some had them on their neck. No one would notice the resemblance in the crowd, since each wore it in their way. Last night, she parted with Luke a bit after their conversation. He needed to rest and so did she. She tried to convince him to leave with the rest to Europa, but he refused and left her alone on the portico, giving her no space to negotiate. She didn’t se
Novaturient: Crescent Lovers THE FIRST DANCE
The sun started to set, everyone was in their position. The clouds flocked the sky above, dimming the last rays of light. The music flooded the plaza as the crowd celebrated and danced with the tempo. The dangling decorations rattled with the wind, its colors cast a colorful reflection on the street below. The picture was complete in Ophelia’s mind. It was impossible to tell that it was all fake. Having all the knights wear casual attires made them truly seem like civilians. The laughter that echoed in the atmosphere enhanced the play they were all part of. She couldn’t help but wonder if they were enjoying the moment as it lasted, or if it was just a facade to hide their nervousness. “It’s a beautiful evening,” Luke whispered in her ears, sitting on her left. Ever since the festival began, Luke has been doing a good job of putting on a smile despite the glares thrown at him like daggers. “It’s been years since I felt at home.”Ophelia tilted her head as she tried to read her brot
