~NORA~

The sunlight flickered directly on my face. I blinked my eyes as I kept on washing the dishes, gazing into nothingness. I could feel his deep breath at the nook of my neck as he stepped closer, my heart pounding in my chest.

He stepped closer behind me, his arms outstretched, and he wrapped them around my waist. I felt his warm embrace and his body trembling against mine as he held me tight. My breathing is shallow and uneven. I knew that I shouldn't be here. With him... in his arms, but I couldn't help the way she felt with him.

"Please," he whispered.

"Let me hug you," he said, his voice trembling with emotion. "Just for two minutes. Let me hold you... That's all I'm asking."

I turned slightly, trying to gaze at his face as I pulled his arms apart. Turning around, our eyes met. His eyes... Those eyes were full of emotion, pleading with me to give in to him.

"You know this isn't right, we can't do this," I said softly, not looking away from him.

    ~GAVNER~I drove us into the woods, and I knew she wondered why. Cocking her head in my direction, she stared at me, but I bore no emotions. I wanted to make up for my deed, and somehow I felt that she concluded that I probably wanted to spend the day with her. That was true to an extent, but I had to be careful not to upset Horace, I knew he wouldn't take it lightly. I kept on stealing glances at her, her face blank as she looked out the window, staring at the woods. It was the same route she took the night she tried to escape from me. She wondered what I wanted us to do there. Our eyes met when I stepped on the brake, and my lips curled in a smile as I placed my hand on her tightly clenched fist.There was nothing I wanted... other than her being comfortable around me. I packed the car, and we stepped out. The weather wasn't great as we strolled.My heart raced. I had no idea what reaction she would display, but I was glad I did something for her."Why are we here?"

    Lilith led him inside her chambers as she made him sit on the bed. "What happened to you?" She asked as she rushed to get the aid box.Matteo grumbled, the pain was getting too intense for him to bear. "I was slashed with a sword… while training," he said, clutching the wounded area as he groaned.Lilith was getting scared as she scrunched up her face, pacing around the room in search of the box. 'It was here last night,' she said to herself as Zelda meowed and wrinkled at her. "Zelda, this isn't the time for this, alright. I have to be quick, so do me a favor and go sit by the corner there." Lilith urged, and as she pointed to a corner, Zelda meowed, rubbing her claws across her face. She walked away. Beatrix flew towards her afterward, and she took a deep breath and said, "You too! You are not an exception." She was getting extremely scared because a sword cut was not supposed to hurt him so much. "Can you help me?" He asked, his voice not steady, a

    HORACETwo days ago I paced around in my chambers, my head was messed up as well as my thoughts. I was extremely worried about Nora, she had leaped away in bad condition after she had a taste of my blood, and I could not help but wonder where she was headed. Something in me told me she was headed to Lilith. I rushed over to the hallway where Lilith's room was situated, pacing around as I tried to recognize her by her scent, but I couldn't. I wondered why it was so hard to reach her most of the time. I raced my fingers through the spot she had bitten, and it made me cringe. I needed answers at this point because I could no longer keep silent. I decided to trust her from the beginning and trust who she is, but I keep seeing a new side of her every day. I never thought it would get to the extent of her sinking her fangs into me and asking, "Who are you, Lenora?" I asked as I ran my fingers through my hair, massaging my neck. I was curious. Being worried abo

    HORACE Lilith chuckled like she was reading me, is that possible? "Excuse me," she said, facing the opposite direction as she yawned. "Sorry about that, Alpha Horace. I don't know why you thought I knew something about Nora or if I was hiding something from you." My eyes widened. 'How did she know?' So it was possible after all. She allowed Beautrix to fly away, saying, "I'm just friends with Lenora, and if you are too curious to know about her, why not ask her?" she stuttered. I wondered what gave her the audacity to speak to me like that, or was that part of the witch trait? I only allowed her to live because Nora had pleaded on her behalf, but I don't think she's grateful. "Don't worry, Your Majesty, it won't be long before I take my last breath." Lilith fired at me. "Pleading on behalf of my life isn't something I can do... It's not worth it because this life has no meaning." "If you'll excuse me," she scoffed. "I'll take my leave," I was ut

    HORACE "Who exactly is Lenora?" I asked, and her eyes widened in bewilderment as she felt uncomfortable. "I have no idea what you are talking about, Alpha Horace," she said. She was playing games with me, and I was beginning to hate it. 'Why not approach Nora yourself and ask her, just like the witch had told you to?" Sam said to me, 'Rather than harassing her mother, who has just regained consciousness,' I ignored him totally, I wouldn't allow him to get in my way of discovering the truth behind her existence. "Don't play games with me, woman!" I fired at her as she gasped in shock. "Why do you think you are alive? I devoted my time to making sure you survived that explosion because I needed you to tell me the truth about her," I said, my face visible with anger. "Please don't hurt her," she begged, her eyes pleading with me. "She's my daughter, the only one I have, and I love her." "Don't you dare change the topic! Stop avoiding the question! I want the

    NORAMy heart was telling me something I wanted to ignore, but regardless, I couldn't ignore it. Horace had never asked me for details about how I spent my day or whatever. I felt he was suspicious of something I was aware of. Something I never wanted to speak of in a years. But I couldn't just spill it out to him, even though he had his suspicions. I wasn't ready for whatever was going to happen afterward. I wasn't sure how he was going to see me or how he would see me afterward.I know the consequences of being what I am—a monster. I have thought I was just a hybrid but with the series of unfortunate events happening... the incantations.

Staring at Horace, who was patiently waiting for my response. I ran my hands from my face to my damp hair.
