I honestly couldn't believe it. I know that whatever I feel for Lucius right now is way far from what I felt for Simon before. But am I really capable of loving someone like that again after such disastrous heartbreak? I thought I couldn't. I thought I wouldn't be able to. But why do I am starting to feel different whenever I'm with Lucius? What are these strange yet wonderful feelings? Why can't I stop myself every time he touches and kisses me?It's not because we have been sleeping together. It is not mainly because of our physical relationship. I don't know when it started or how, but I just realized one day that I feel that kind of weird feelings for him. I know it is the thing I should have avoided in the first place, but what can I do with what I am feeling for him? I don't think I can just get it away from me. I don't think I just can forget this feeling at once. I refuse to say that I love him… but thinking of about losing him… why does it hurts so bad? Why do I feel like I c
I really don't understand what's going on. What is the connection of Lucius and Alec? What is the thing that caused the drift between them? Because it feels like they have known each other for a long time and there was something that caused chaos between them. And why is Elizabeth even involved in this? And why do I feel like the way Alec looks at me, it feels like had seen me so many times before, that he is very familiar with my face, when the truth is, I've never seen him before. I have never met him."She is mine, Lucius. Hand her to me and I shall forgive you for your aggressiveness.""Forgive me? Did I even ask for your forgiveness? No, Alec. What shall you forgive me for?” Lucius said with a playful, dark smirk that screams all his confidence and dominance.I want to ask Lucius some questions, like what are they fighting with, but I figured that is a little out of the picture to do that now considering the rising tension in the air."And why are you even asking for the wife of
"Your mate? Do you even hear yourself, Rellis? Let me remind you that you dumped her because you told her you have found your real mate. She almost died in the hands of Benedict and her whole family was murdered. Where are you during all those times? You were not there for her. I was. So, don't you fucking claim my wife as your mate," Lucius snapped.I could not say anything out of anger. How dare he claim me as his fucking mate when he told me straight to my face that he was only mistaken and had found his real mate? He left me at a time I needed him the most! So, who give him the right to say that? He doesn't deserve that right! He will never deserve it!"Your mate? Did I hear you right, Simon? You are claiming her as your mate?" Alec butt in, his eyes narrowing to Simon, and there was obvious darkness playing in his dark amber orbs."Yes, Alec, she is my mate–"Lucius growled. "No one is your mate here, asshole. She is my wife.""She is my mate," Simon insisted and it was my turn t
"Why are you saying this to me now?” I asked Simon in confusion because I can’t seem to understand why he had to go to such extent just to prevent me from meeting Alec. If a person who has the ability to foresee the events in the future saw that time will come when me and Alec will meet, wasn’t it already a sign that it will happen no matter what measures we will take just to avoid it? It was already foreseen, meaning, fate has already decided and it could happen in different circumstances.“Because there is no point hiding the truth now that what I was scared of already happened,” Simon answered.“And you are out of the picture now. You can’t change the fact that Maddy has a new life. So even if you had presented yourself as her mate and wants to take the responsibility to keep her, do you think you still have the right to do that? You don’t, so better back off and let me do the job since I’m his husband,” Lucius said.“You don’t love her. You just want to use her against Alec becaus
Lucius held my hand tight. I pressed his palm back in response to his hold. Though, I got a weird feeling in my got when I saw Simon's stare on me. He didn't look angry. He looked forlorn… miserable and somehow regretful. I couldn't place all the emotions I could see in his eyes.I don't know what is this weird feeling I have. Am I guilty? But what would I be guilty for? He chose to leave me. Even if he did that for my sake, a lot of things happened. A lot of things changed. Am I to blame for my change of heart?Simon mouthed something. It was so obvious that I didn't need to think for a second what the word was. He said, "Run."For that certain moment, I want him to read what was on my mind. I want to talk to him through my mind. I wanted to tell him that I wouldn't do that. I will never leave Lucius for my sake. I can't do that. How can I leave someone who helped me at my darkest hours? I know Lucius did it for himself, alright. Because he knows he would benefit from me, but he stil
I don’t know if I should trust Simon’s words after he lied and after all the pain he has inflicted to me, but that look in his eyes… it was like he is showing all the truth, his everything. The gentle look in his eyes made me feel that I can trust him again, that when it comes to me, all he is concerned of is my safety.I don’t want to believe it so much because I don’t want to cling on false hopes, but can’t I hope that it is true? Ever since I turned to a dark-blooded werewolf and knew my parents were dead as well as Jaxon, I kept on wishing so bad, I prayed so hard to have the power to turn back time. Or at least make this reality a dream and that I would just wake up with my family all well and me back to my normal life as an ordinary teenage girl studying in the nearest town college. I want to have that life so bad even if it means I would have to sacrifice my feelings and whatever I have with Lucius. I would do everything just so I could have that. if there’s anything I could tr
"Maddy…" Roselle looked at me with a sweet smile on her beautiful face. Franklin did the same and I felt like I have seen my second parents in them. I never thought the day would come that I will meet them again after what happened to me and Simon. I really don't know what good I did for meeting such wonderful people as them.And the way they looked at me… it was as if they were never mad to me. Like they understand what I felt and all the actions I did."Roselle… Franklin…" I uttered their names in a low voice, almost a whisper."You look good, huh." Thomas smirked at me mockingly. "And durable." He nodded to himself then his gaze dropped at Simon. His eyebrow was raised as if he's saying something to Simon through his mind.The corners of Simon's lips rose and he subtly shook his head.Our little reunion was only interrupted by a growl. The sky darkened more and I saw Lucius's angry eyes directed to us. He looked so mad and unforgiving, I could feel like he won't give this up, that
Right the moment the chopper landed at the wide field at the back of Lucius's manor, I thought he would tell me below the belt words for going to Simon and hesitating if I should come back to him or not. But I was surprised when before I could speak, I felt Lucius's arms on me. He was hugging me tight, crouching, and with face buried on my neck."I really thought you would come back to him," he said with forlorn voice that moved me. "I'm sorry… I'm so sorry, Maddy. Forgive me, please."The way how he pleaded made me feel bad and at the same time… glad. I figured that I indeed loved him in that small span of time. I wasn't able to move on fully from Simon for I know that there is still a part of me that still love him, but in spite of that, I'm sure that there's also another part of me that loves Lucius. I don't know who weighs more, but I guess I still need to find out soon."I understand, Lucius. I kind of have an idea what you've been through now, and I understand that you too, want
