I bit my lower lip looking at how shocked Mom was when Landon told him that we are getting married. If she had known that I already married Lucius without her and Dad's consent, for sure she had collapsed.I stared at my Mom's pale face and waited for her reaction. I smiled a little. If I had known, she would have slapped me once or did something if only Landon wasn't there. Not that she's against of me marrying, but this sudden marriage surely shocked her to the bones that she couldn't speak right away."What, Maddy? You are getting married?!" The horror was evident on her voice and I have seen that one coming. "But what about your studies? Your career? You are just nineteen for goodness' sake! And what? You were just together for a week or so! Don't you think it's too early? This is so sudden!" Mom was getting hysterical.I held her hand to calm her down. I chuckled and looked at Lucius who was just staring at the both of us, very calm and composed as if this would not shake his pla
"What did you to Felix?" I asked the moment Lucius went inside my room that night. I fought the urge to ask that earlier because of course I can't drop him in front of Mom."Me? No. I did nothing." He shrugged and sat on my bed. He urged me to go near to him. I did. He pulled me in between his legs and made me sit there. I was sitting sideways though because I want to look at his face while talking to him."You did nothing? You sure? You don't sound convincing enough to me." I'm very sure he did something. I can see it in his eyes. Although we are just together for several weeks, I've learned many things about him especially that look in his eyes. He naturally looks dangerous and evil-like, but it's different when he is planning something or he did something. Of course I know the man I love. I love him so much to memorize every detail of him."Fine. Yes, I did something. I just did a little play so that Doris will see that the man she love is not worth it and nothing but a cheating as
"Wait. Someone is tailing us," Lucius suddenly said in the middle of our way back to Lynnwood after we had a meeting with Miss Lucy in Seattle."I also figured that, Alpha. The silver Mercedes is tailing us since we left the atelier," Henry confirmed.I looked at the back and really found the silver car tailing us blatantly. I don't know whose car it was though since I don't know anyone who has a car like that. But if in any case, maybe it's Jaxon?"Can you smell his scent?" I asked because I can't smell it myself because I wasn't breathing. There are people around and I'm still afraid of what I might do. I don't want to be reported in the television first thing tomorrow for acting like a mad animal in front of the public. Sure Lucius could do something about that. Like delete the footages and erase the scene in people's mind, but he can't resurrect a dead person – if ever I would kill one."I don't smell any werewolf's scent. It's just a human. A boy."I got confused. "A boy? You mea
"Huh! And you have the guts to threaten someone in the middle of Washington streets? What the hell is this, Maddy? You will marry this kind of person? You got to be kidding me!"I shut my eyes and tried to control my temper. They are both at the edge. I have to remain calm at least."Well, at least he won't marry a cheater. I suppose Maddy prefers a man like me than a man like you.""I didn't mean to cheat on her! It was a mistake, Maddy. It was just a freaking mistake and it was because of Natalia's doings…" Theo tried to convimce me but I don't think that issue is still relevant now. I don't care about it anymore and I thought he had already moved on too, so I don't know why he is bringing it up now. The case was long over and closed. I don't want to talk about it anymore."Enough, you two!" I glared at them. My gaze stopped at Theo. "Look, Theo. I don't know why you're bringing this up, but I'm all over it now. I got a new life and I don't care about the past anymore. I couldn't sa
We talked more about the details. I was glad I was slowly learning to be good in acting like a human and never minding my thirst for human blood. Henry prepared many blood packs for me though in case I would go wild because of thirst. So far, I haven't experience that kind of thirst yet. I guess I can control it a little now. And I guess it also added that I consume blood every night to ease my thirst.In the middle of the night while I was sleeping alone in my room, I woke up when I heard my window clicked. I was alert and rose into a sitting position at once. I was shocked when I saw who entered my room.Memories in the past flooded my mind. My lips parted because my heart ached at the thought."Maddy…" Simon's voice was full of sadness and longing, I wanted to cry."I thought you would come back after you talked to him but I was wrong. I waited but you never did. And then I got the news that youBut I couldn't bring myself to go near him.We were just there. Standing five feet apar
"I am sorry," was all I could say."But I am your mate.""I don't know anymore, Simon. I don't know how it happened… it just did. I know you might be thinking that I'm only confused. But to be honest, I'm not. I am very much sane and I do know what I'm feeling. I love Landon and what I feel is pure and very true. I love him with all my heart, Simon."He didn't say anything. He just suddenly vanished in the dark and I was left there standing and full of unspoken emotions and unshed tears.~*~*~"I'm going now, Maddy. Your breakfast is in the table," I heard Mom outside my room but I didn't say anything so she would think I'm still asleep. Not so long, I heard her footsteps away and then her car's engine starting outside.I sighed when I finally had the chance to breathe. I rolled on my bed and stared at the ceiling for minutes – which seemed like years. I wanted to think that my confrontation with Simon last night was only a dream. But I know that is impossible because since he left my
Lucius looked at me with his pitch black eyes filled with so much love as he danced me slowly. I chuckled because I never thought he could dance in such a romantic scene like this. I mean, this is Lucius Voss we are talking about. The coldest man on earth alive. I even thought he was really that heartless before. But at some point I was wrong. Or I guess he just learned to soften his heart with me."Should we start planning our third wedding now?" Lucius joked. He pulled my waist to draw me closer to him."I would love to marry you again and again, if you would just permit it," he went on.I laughed. "A wedding like this is so expensive already. How much more if it's done again and again?"He raised an eyebrow at me as if he heard something that he didn't like. "You think money is a thing? The hell I care with the expenses. With everything I have now, I got no doubt that I can provide your every whim and even support generations and generations in our family.""You sure?" I challenged
The weeks I spent with Lucius after the wedding felt like the happiest moments of my life. I was afraid though. It was ironic that I felt afraid in the middle of happiness, but I guess it really goes that way. When you are too happy, you would want that moment to never end because of course people always prefer to be happy, right? That’s where the fears start. You would fear that the moment will end. And I wasn’t an exception. In the middle of my so good happiness, I got afraid that our happy moments will soon end.True enough, I realized that everything does have an ending, and that one should brace himself when he feels so much happiness because no one knows what is waiting for you after it.And on my case, I thought I already have my happy ending because that was what I felt with Lucius but I was wrong. It was proven that when you are happy the most, that’s when you could become vulnerable the most. What makes someone vulnerable? Fears. The desire for happiness. Family. Love.“Drin
