Thank you for reading. ❤
LOVE I AM LYING in Lucien's bed wearing his shirt. We didn't have a chance to talk in the art room because things heated between us and once again, I succumb to my desires and the pleasure he gave me.Lucien is tightly hugging me while stroking my hair. I listened to the rhythm of his heartbeat as I rest my head on his chest. We were both silent for a couple of minutes until I decided to break it. "Lucien?" "Hmmm, what is it?" "You said you want us to talk. I want us to talk now."He sighed deeply and then nods his head. "Okay. I'm listening." I let out a deep breath before speaking, "I had this dream and I have been dreaming about it since I got here. I didn't mind it because it doesn't really bother me at first. But then things started to get strange for me when I keep on dreaming about it, like every night. What is more strange is that I am having some flashbacks as well and each of them feels so real. Then there's a strange tree in my dream, we tried looking for its name in t
WE'RE CURRENTLY OUTSIDE the mansion waiting for the carriage that will take Clarrise back to Berkhann City. She's going to resume her studies in medicine. Nereza said her goodbyes already and Ayla gave Clarrise a tight hug after wiping her tears. "Take care, Clarrise. We will miss you," I told her before hugging her. "You too, Bella. I'm sorry if can't be with you on your next quest." "Don't worry about it, Clarrise. It's fine. You have been helping me enough and I appreciate it. Just please watch over yourself and don't forget to visit us again." She gently smile at me one last time before bidding her goodbye to the triplets. "Please watch over yourself, Rees. Don't hesitate to send a message if something goes wrong," Lorkan reminds her. She hugs the three before she went inside the carriage. "Ysobella? Please take care of Lucien, too." "I will." Clarrise waved at us and we watched her until the carriage exits the gate. "Ma chérie?" "Yes, Logan?" "Is it true that
XYNMORTH AYLA'S FROWNING FACE welcomed me the moment I entered our room. She scolded me for taking so long. I tried explaining and fortunately, she listened but I saw how she rolls her eyes whenever I mentioned Lucien."I have no idea that Alpha Lucien is clingy.""Are these the things Clarrise left for us?" I asked, trying to divert our topic. I gently touched the dresses that Ayla placed on the bed. I can't hide my fascination as I eyed them. But it wasn't just the dresses, Clarrise also left us dazzling jewelry, hair accessories, and shoes. "These are all fancy. I can't believe she left all of these for us." Ayla nods her head in response. "I know. But she said she can't use all of them. It's just sad because we weren't able to give her something before she left." She sighed and sat on her bed. "You know what, let's pay her a visit in the city sometime.""Yes, let's do that."After choosing the clothes I needed, Ayla gave me some recommendations on how to fix myself for the pa
MARIETTA'S EYES WIDENED in shock upon hearing Lucien's cold and possessive voice. While the triplets and I were left with our mouths opened. The triplets subsequently averted their gaze and when I brought back my eyes towards Marietta, I saw how she swallowed hard. She looks scared but I couldn't blame her. Lucien's dark and cold eyes show how displeased he is by what he just heard. The silence is starting to make the atmosphere awkward so I cleared my throat to break the tension."U-Uh... nice meeting you, too. Are you from here, Marietta?""H-Huh. Uh, no. I'm from Berkhann City. The triplets are actually my neighbors."Her voice is still laced with fear but she managed to smile at me. "Is that so, then how about you join us for dinner? I'm sure the triplets miss you."Landon, who seemed to have recovered from earlier claps his hands. "Bella is right. I am sure our brother Logan misses you as well," he teased. Logan's face contorted upon hearing his brother but he didn't utter a
THE GIFT THE LAND OF Xynmorth is not an island but the people who visit Xynmorth do not travel by land, they travel by water because the whole land is covered with high walls. The only way in and way out in Xynmorth is the dock in Jedburgh City. Jedburgh City is the largest city in Xynmorth. It is also where the pack house of Crimson Pack, the house of Lestat, is located. When we reached the pack house, some of the pack members, including the Beta are waiting for us outside. "Welcome to the house of Lestat," the Beta welcomed us."Thank you, Tarik," Lucien acknowledged by nodding his head. So the Beta's name is Tarik.Tarik led us inside the mansion. The pack house of Crimson Pack is a Tudor-style mansion. It is mostly made of bricks and its interior screams power. Sculptures of the former Alphas are placed on each side of the aisle. I roamed my eyes around to check if there are normal beings but I only saw the scrutinizing stares from the pack members. Where are the normal bei
THE PARTY HALL is surrounded by dim lights. Slow melodic music is being played. Before the celebration started, Drago gave a short message to his guests. I roamed my eyes around and I spotted Synth, along with his Beta, sitting on their respective chairs. I also spotted Lord Gregory and Lady Elondra but I haven't seen Einah and Marianna. When I brought back my gaze to Drago, I noticed that he isn't alone anymore. Beside him is a woman. She's tall and slim with black short hair that falls until her neck. Her face is calm but fierce. "That must be his rumored fiancee." Logan's words caught my attention. Rumored fiancee? So it's true then, Drago's really getting married. My brows slowly furrowed. I lowered my gaze to hide my frown. I really don't understand why he has to marry someone else when he can--- I was pulled back from my trance when I felt Lucien's fingers on my chin. "Why?" I asked. "I should be asking you that. What's wrong with you?" he asked, confused. "Alpha L
LUTHER WE DEPARTED EARLY the next day towards Preousia. We didn't get the chance to express our gratitude to the Alpha because he had to leave early for personal reasons. As we board the ship, I can't help but think about what happened the night before. Drago made it clear that he does not accept gifts from random people, but judging from what I saw in the receiving room, he seemed to like it, or perhaps I was mistaken. But I shouldn't dwell on the negative aspects; I know there is still hope for both of them and that all will work out in the end. Before heading to Highcrest Mountain, we stopped in Beckton City. We went to the same tavern where we spent our night before. It was almost dinner so I decided to clean up. After changing my clothes I woke up Lucien. He fell asleep due to exhaustion. I let him clean and then I went out to remind the triplets about dinner. Right after we got ready, we decided to visit the newly opened diner a few blocks away from the tavern. Lucien and
I SAW NEREZA opening her mouth to speak but she was interrupted when the door suddenly opened. "Baby..." "Markus?! What on Aldemore are you doing here?! I thought I told you to wait for me upstairs?" Nereza's voice is laced with irritation. Markus now looks apologetic. "I'm sorry, baby. But I need to speak to you right now. It's urgent." Nereza sighed deeply. "Alright," she said in defeat. The two then excused themselves. Shortly, Ayla and I left the library. Since there isn't much to do in the kitchen, we decided to offer our assistance in the infirmary. Night finally came. Now is my chance to speak with Lucien regarding my plans. I came to visit him in his art room but the moment I entered the room, I was shocked to see both him and Nereza, arguing. "Ysobella?!" Lucien uttered in shock when he noticed me. "Uh... I'm sorry for interrupting you. I should have knocked," I said apologetically. I was about to leave but he stopped me. "N-No, sweetheart. Actually, my sist
