Shanda was leaving when Aleksander arrived because he knew his wife would transform again that night. He wanted to be with her no matter how she hurt him. "There you are," Shanda remarked when she saw him. He eyed the backpack she was carrying. "They just left..." She added when he was quiet, waiting for her to say something. "Who are they?" He frowned. "Iza was waiting for you, but she can't wait longer because she's running out of time. Fortunately, Dax came. He brought Iza to her father's lab." Fuck! His jawline hardened," I guess I'm not needed anymore." "Where were you?" Shanda asked, staring at his profile. "Are you okay?" "Yeah, I'm okay. I need some rest," he said with a blank expression. "Okay. I tell her you came back. I'm going to follow them..." "Alright. Ask Brigitte to drive you there..." "Oh, thanks..." she said, sighing as she looked at the man who had turned his back. "Aleks…" He faced the woman again. He quirked up his eyebrow in a quiet query?" "Are you
Aleksander checked the spaceship's engine, power subsystem, steering system, communications system, and scientific instruments as they prepared to depart the Earth globe while maintaining a non-emotional demeanor. They were in a brand-new spacecraft based on the one that crashed and landed in a remote woodland on Earth. He sighed heavily and climbed into the pilot's seat before turning on everything. It illuminated the spacecraft's darkest surroundings, with many windows, aluminum panels, and lights. Marlon sat in the vacant seat and stated, "Capt., we can't leave just yet." As he saw Marlo, Aleksander scowled sternly. "Why the hell not?" He snapped. "Dax is-" Dax took the third seat behind Marlo with a formal "I'm here" expression. Marlo stared at the visitor blankly and remarked, "Oh, all set then." "Yes. "I just took something important. Are we leaving now?" "Yep. Just checking everything and ready to go…." "But are you sure you don't need to say your last word to her?" "I
"Don't worry, Aleks. I have no plans to stop you from leaving," Izabella replied casually. She stared at the man's face. And she felt the tension in his will. "All I want is for us to be apart for good because I can't be at peace that you're leaving, and we're not on good terms." He scowled quietly. He did not like how she answered him, and he cursed himself for getting confused about what he wanted. But one thing he knew, he couldn't let her go that easily. And he did not want to wander in that aspect of being with her. He was sure he wanted her like hell. Aleksander lay down flat on the bed and focused his eyes on the ceiling for a few moments as it was very dark in their room, but he could see everything because of his night vision. With his longing for his wife earlier, his mind was empty but panicked as he hugged and kissed Izabella at the last moment of their meeting. Her head sat on his shoulder, and her fruity smell engulfed his senses, which did not help the turmoil of his
Aleksander held Izabella close as she quickly dozed off while he remained awake and continued to caress her naked shoulder. He took a deep breath before carefully stepping away from his wife. His eyes were helplessly focused on Izabella's face as she drifted off. She fought not to sleep, and he knew why but by watching her silently every night, she was asleep almost at dawn. Ultimately, her body gave in to the wave of weariness. He knew why she didn't want to sleep by chatting about anything and looking back at how they met. And he was just happily listening to her while memorizing every aspect of her voice, the expression on her face as she kept talking. And once in a while looked at him with those eyes in a trance, and he would bring her back to reality when he kissed her with an earnest desire. And then they would just be content just staring at each other. Words seemed not to describe how they wanted to convey their feelings. With the shadow of tears he could see lurking in her
"It's hard to speak without a foundation. We need facts, Marlo," Dax warned. "But you have a hunch that she might be Yzobelle?" Marlo insisted. "It was just a hunch that we could make a mistake. Then I thought, how could my sister end up in the human world?" "What? You got a missing sister?" Alexander's reaction. "Yeah, but only a few people know what happened to her," Dax confirmed. "Yzobelle was three years old when she disappeared. It happened during the Khrall attack on our citadel. That's how we relocated through the help of your father, Dreksil...I better call you by that name since we're returning to our world." "You're right, Dareks," replied Aleksander. "Did you tell Izabella that you're an alien prince?" Dax arched his eyebrows, looking at him. "Yeah, but I could not tell her my name," he said with a longing voice. "I chose not to tell her. Then she would discover that those women our soldiers brought to our world are for making babies." "Why not?" "Per my father's p
Her shoulders sagged when Izabella realized Aleksander hadn't turned on the room's light. Shanda questioned with anxiety in her eyes, "Iza." She quickly closed the space where Izabella stood by grabbing the white silk blanket from the bed and wrapping it around her friend's nudity. "What has happened to you?" "He's gone, Shan," she said scarcely audibly before breaking down in tears. "When?" She answered in a childlike voice, "I don't know. I sleep with him holding me." Shanda asked with a lump in her voice, "But he told you, right?" With tears rolling down her cheeks, she nodded. She commented, "C'mon, it's so cold out here," as she drew inside and shut the balcony door. Shanda asked again, "He was with you?" She replied in a trembling voice, "Yes. Dax brought me there where the spaceship is located," She said. "Did you speak without agitation?" "Yes, we engage in conversation." A moment of silence followed between them. Izabella was sobbing in silence when Shanda sat be
There was an uproar in the great hall of the penthouse when Brigitte arrived and learned of Izabella's current condition. "Wow, that is great news! Congratulations, Iza. How I wish Aleksander were here," she said, wanting to cry joyfully. "Twins, huh? I'll be their godmother. "Me, too!" Shanda and Levitra spoke in unison and laughed. Izabella was speechless with the commotion around her. "Anyway, ladies… "Brigitte excitedly said. "Before we go for a celebration, as it's also my birthday today, let's go together for your first check-up..." "Now?" Izabella asked. She was not ready to go anywhere. "Yes, Iza, so we can ensure you and the baby are doing fine." "I don't think that's necessary, Brigitte," was the voice that made them all turn. "Daddy!" Greetings from Izabella, who rushed to hug her father. "Why did you come here so early?" "I'm glad you looked fine," Dr. Jansen replied with a smile. "But you lost weight..." "Don't worry, Doctor. She would be gaining weight soon as w
Izabella was momentarily speechless when the contents of the briefcase were opened. A small metallic rectangle box and two black books were inside it. She just realized that Brigitte moved and was sitting beside her. They were both looking at the briefcase's contents. "I know about the black book," Brigitte said. "The two black leather books are atm card holders. Open the small box, Iza..." "Maybe he has another message to explain first what's in the box?" Izabella asked and picked up Aleksander's phone and checked his phone. Out of curiosity, she checked his messages. Primarily for Brigitte, Dax, her, and her Dad. "He sent me a message about the voicemail he sent me..." "That could be important," Brigitte stated. "Okay. Let me think, where's my phone," she said as her hand checked her loose shorts. "Stay here, and I'll check your room..." "No, it's fine," Izabella smiled at her. And she quietly summoned her phone, instantly dropping it on her palm. Brigitte's eyes widened. They
