2024-10-29 19:42:56My body still felt heavy and sore but I managed to open my eyes a little as I shifted to my side. Wait… what kind of scent was this? Taking a few sniffs of the blanket and pillow, it had some floral and pleasant scent but I could not pinpoint which flower had this kind of smell. But what really caught my attention was the scent of sandalwood. It was not only coming from the pillow and blanket but the room was filled with it.
I flung my eyes open when the memory of entering the portal flashed in my mind. As far as I remember, I lost consciousness when I entered the portal. Sitting upright in a matter of seconds, I found myself on a bed with blankets and sheets of dark color. There were things around that I found unfamiliar as they never existed back in Oliviland. Plus, there was a shelf on the side filled with books but I could not read them because they were written in different writing.
Looking at my left side, there was a huge transpar

I thought that the womanizer was the only one who would face the death he deserved, but I was so unfortunate to receive the uncanny smirk of the woman. I really should have left this place instead of interrupting these two in their almost lovemaking session. Pointing her gun at me, she demanded, “Get out of the car, you slut.” I did not want to reveal to these lowly humans that I was an immortal so I raised my hands just like what the womanizer did. But it was more than infuriating to let this woman say and do anything as she pleased. I must endure even though it was something I did not want to do in front of this shameless creature. Still, Lansford and I both left the car and walked towards the woman. “Kneel,” she said, her gun still pointed at us. I could actually tackle her down and shove that gun right into her mouth but there were other men surrounding us. I

When we got out of the car, a few people wearing white clothes and robes came running in our direction. They took Lansford on a bed with wheels and rushed him into this huge building that seemed to be made of pure glass. I had seen this in the magical waters but I did not know what the humans called it. “Young miss, we should disinfect your wound,” one of the ladies said. Just then, it came to me that I had a cut on my cheek after that crazy woman slapped me. Without saying anything, I followed the lead of the lady in white while one of Lansford’s men tailed me behind. It was not like I was going to run away when I was not even familiar with this place. Plus, I could not simply abandon that womanizer now that he had my bead. For the next full moon, I must cultivate the remaining power I have to regain what I had lost. “Where are they taking Lansford?” I asked the woman, my gaze following the group of people pushing

My brows knitted since his question sounded like there was some sort of hidden intention behind it but I just could not pinpoint what it was. The smirk even made me more suspicious of him. Crossing my arms across my chest, I leaned closer to him.“I am more than sure as long as the things you ask for are something attainable,” I stated. “I can clean your house no matter how big it is. I am also a good cook so I can prepare food anytime you want to. Basically, you can order me around.”“I already have someone who can do that for me. Basically-” He even reiterated that word, probably trying to tease me. “-there is nothing much you can do other than lie on my bed and please me.”I showed him a disgusted face and pretended to vomit in front of him. His once amused expression was now turned into an icy one, making me smile at him.“As I was saying, I c

(FAYALITE)Being caught in such an awkward situation by the very father of Mr. Ryso was so embarrassing that I did not hesitate to push his son to the side and stood on both feet. I wanted to clarify to him that we were not going to do ‘that’ but explaining it would sound more awkward.“I… I am sorry, sir. It’s not what you think,” I stated but it sounded unconvincing especially that I even stuttered.I watched him take his seat on the sofa just near me while his son fixed himself and stood beside me. Stealing a glance at him hoping he would tell me what to do since this was such an expected turn of events. We were just talking about his proposal and yet his father that looked more intimidating than he was suddenly showed up.I gulped when he looked up at me with a frown on his face. I simply flashed a small smile before he turned

Reaching the dining room while trying to catch my breath, I saw Alexander fumbling at his Ipad with a cup of coffee served on the table. Just like the other day, he was wearing a pair of suit but this time, instead of a black suit, it was gray this time. Well, I do admit that he looked better in black but set that thought aside since that was not the purpose why I came to see him so early in the morning. He seemed to have noticed my presence that he lifted his gaze at me with his usual non-expressive look.“Are you that hungry to run your way here?” he asked as he casually returned his gaze at his Ipad.I walked in his direction and towered over him with a hand on my hip. He never spared me a glance and still kept his eyes on the screen which was more infuriating.“Alexander, what was the document you made me sign last night? And please, I do not want to hear that it is a marriage contract just like wha

Out of impulse, I raised my hand with an open palm and slapped him across the face. I felt my hand sting in pain after the impact and I could see the red mark on his cheek. His head was still tilted to the side so the moment he turned to meet my gaze, I cupped his cheek.“I… I… I am so sorry,” I apologized. “But it was definitely your fault for kissing me without permission. Do that again and I will slap you still.”I could not maintain eye contact with him out of fear that he might snap at me but then, he held my hand that was cupping his cheek. I gulped as he kissed the back of my hand whilst looking into my eyes.“Is that an invitation for another kiss?”I stared at him with a blank face. How could he act like this? But seeing him acting all smug after doing something without asking for my permission just made me want to slap him on the other cheek

Out of impulse, I immediately crumpled the paper into a ball. I fell back on my seat in surprise when Alexander suddenly lunged at me and tried to grab the paper away. This guy was probably the only person I met who lacked the practice of self-control. Just because he wanted something, he would go about and take it without even considering the feelings of others.“What did you write?” he asked as he grabbed my wrists and pulled me towards him, still trying to get it.“Nothing,” I replied briefly. I brought my hands behind my back so he would not dare get ahold of it.Even though I was so sure that he would not be able to read them but I was simply worried he might become suspicious of me. Getting too much attention just because of who I really was and where I was from was a matter I did not want others to do. Before he could take it away, I pushed him to the side with a grunt, and with a rather lo

Groaning in pain behind my back and at my neck, probably stiff neck, I slowly opened my eyes. The awful stench that still smelled like the combination of rotting flesh and the sweet perfume lingered in the air. It made me wince. I was about to sit up but I realized that both of my hands were tied behind me and my mouth was gagged with a cloth tied around my head.“She is awake!” one of the men yelled. I could not see who he was because of the mask that covered half of his face.My guess was that he was probably one of those men who took me from the mansion. Looking down at myself, a shower of relief came down on me when I saw that my gown was still intact and there was no sign that they took advantage of me while unconscious.My gaze shifted to my right where I heard footsteps becoming more audible. Just like the first guy, I could not see this man’s face because of the mask. Though, I could see his smi

I clipped a few locks of my hair behind my ear as I looked down the sands. It was just a bit embarrassing to be suddenly addressed like that when I was used to being just called Fayalite. Though, I wonder what he was here for. O mean, he was the second-in-command of Arsen so he usually stays beside him. Did he probably come here to search for him? “You seem to be enjoying yourself here in the human realm, princess,” he said as he walked in my direction. Now that he was closer, I came to notice that he really blended well among the humans. Unlike the first time I came here, I looked so different and ignorant. “Not really. I...” I paused. Would it be insensitive of me to speak about Arsen? I mean, I was the reason why his soul was sent here and his body was in a coma. “Why are you here?” He looked at me in the eyes with a sharp look and a smirk drawn on his lips. It

According to what Luis said, our reserved seats were first class so we would be able to sleep more comfortably. That was good news actually because just entering in the craft made me feel like I want to throw up or something. I did not like the feeling at all. Just, as usual, Alexander and Freya were together on the opposite side of my seat with Luis. I just pretended that I did not mind them at all because I already promised Alexander that I won't be disturbing them no matter what. After putting away our baggage, I immediately laid down on my seat and shut my eyes. Luis said that we will be flying at any minute but my stomach was already flipping on its own. "I should get to sleep before we fly. I might vomit anytime," I mumbled. I heard a giggle coming from Luis as he sat across from me. "Is it your first time to ride on an airplane?" I simply nodded in reply since it felt like if I o

I had no idea what Freya wanted to talk about but turning her down would seem like I was being petty just because Alexander favored her over me. I shut the door close and walked in her direction. Sitting across from her, I stood quiet and waited for her to initiate the conversation. I can’t believe I was actually in a situation like this… I thought it only happens in those movies made by humans but oh well, I hope this won’t turn into a disaster. “Alexander told me…” she said, “He said that you were just pretending to be sick to get his attention.” What? I cannot believe he actually told her that! I was not pretending to be sick! I wanted to yell at her and claim my innocence but I could not do it because if she asks me why I fainted twice, I had nothing to say. Even I became so weirded out with my own body, and not to mention, I just lost my sense of taste. “I know,” Freya added, her voice still calm and collected

(FAYALITE) Seeing the shocked and confused expression of Alexander made me step backward. Why did it have to be him when it could have been Arsen? He was already mad at me for several reasons and if he ever finds out about who I really was, he might throw me out to the streets. Since he seemed to be frozen where he was, I decided to grab that opportunity to run away but upon turning away from him, I heard another man’s voice. “Alexander, is it okay to bring your mistress home when you already found yourself a wife?” Hearing that question just made me hesitate to jump out of the window. Thus, I ended up hiding behind the door where I could hear their conversation. Plus, I could smell a rather strong scent of sandalwood coming from the person who had just come in. Compared to other human beings, his scent was stronger. “Lansford, what did you come here for?” I heard Alexander a

For a minute, Lansford and I were in a staring contest. There was really nothing he could do to my wound since I already washed it clean and it was not that deep to cause any kind of infection. Moreover, he was a mere human being so he had no healing abilities to close the wound. He was probably doing this to show off and make me think that he was such a gentleman. Guh, after how he acted for the past few days, a day would never come for me to even consider him as a gentleman.“One…” He started to count which only made me roll my eyes before pushing him away from me.Not saying a word, I got up and sat on the edge of the bed with my back facing him. I gathered my long hair to the side just so he could get a clear view of the scratch.“It’s not that serious of a wound so there is nothing to worry about. I could still go and meet that dealer you wanted to do business with so don’t be to

Lansford shrugged his shoulders and replied, “It is a well-known tale here.”What? Really? But how did humans even know of the Black Alpha’s existence? Did he probably announce his presence? Or was he captured when the humans came to know of his real identity? Err… just by thinking of that gives me the shivers. He might be being tortured somewhere or even died.I wanted to ask more about the tale he was referring to because it could not be the one I was talking about but every time I bring out that topic, Lansford would dismiss it and insist that I should just focus on reading and memorizing. He acted that way until we were at the airport and just like always, I was stunned at the huge machine that humans use to fly.“Hey, Lansford,” I called out as I narrowed my sight on the so-called airplane. “The wings of that plane seemed to be too hard. Are you sure that if we ride on it,

What happened the next day after Lansford found out about my true identity as a red fox, I did not really like what greeted me so early in the morning. I had a good night’s sleep indeed but upon leaving my room so I can head to the kitchen and find something I can cook, Lansford was in the living room.“Morning. What’s with the piles of papers around? Are you studying for an exam?” I asked.He did not say anything. He simply motioned me to sit beside him while holding a few documents I could not understand. Occupying the seat near him, he showed me a book with colored illustrations. If I was not mistaken, it was possibly a book for children.“Before we depart tomorrow, I will be teaching you how to read so you can survive on your own when you make future deals in my stead,” he said.I looked at him with a raised eyebrow. “Are you expecting me to learn new wri

“Shut your eyes right now, Lansford, before I will snatch them out from your eye sockets,” I threatened.“They’re closed,” he replied as he slowly put me down.Since he had already seen my true form, I let out my nine tails while maintaining my human form so I could at least use them to cover my nakedness. Taking a few steps away from him, I saw that he indeed shut them close but to make sure of it, I clenched my fist and attempted to punch him. I stopped midway when my hand was already a few millimeters away from his face. Seeing that he did not flinch even a tiny bit, I was convinced that he was keeping his word. I turned my back on him and grabbed my clothes from the ground before I tiptoed back to the room to get dressed.This was supposed to be one of the ordinary days that I should be searching for my sister but I did not know what went wrong or what I did wrong just to deserve this.

(FORSTERITE)I gulped at the question of Lansford because it just felt like he knew where I really came from. I really could not guess if he was asking because he did not know or he was simply testing me if I was telling him the truth or not. This was one of the things that somehow made me fear him… he was just one of the people I could not predict.Clearing my throat, I replied, “What do you mean by kingdom? I am not a princess or anything so coming from a kingdom is definitely not possible. What are you even thinking?”After washing the vegetables, I turned on my heels to leave the kitchen because I did not want to continue the conversation. It was a dangerous path to take so better yet retreat before this guy would hit me in the most unexpected time. However, upon turning away from the sink, I flinched upon seeing him standing before me.He flic
