“K-Keir!”

I whispered in a low voice as I looked at him.

Keir’s eyes instantly captured mine as it observed my face, scanning all over me. His rigid face became slightly darker and he approached me, taking big steps. Wishing me a brief goodbye, Violet left already, leaving two of us alone in that cabin.

Examining my bandages, he asked in a concerned tone, “Is it hurting a lot?”

“No, I am better now. They gave me painkillers,” I answered, tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear.

I didn’t know why my heart again started to pound and I was even having a hard time to look up in his direction. Somehow, I could feel his intense gaze on me which was making me more uneasy.

Though his magnetic voice sounded a bit tired, Keir spoke again in a dissatisfied tone, “This happened because of your stupidity. Hope you will learn from this and will never repeat it.”

Frowning, I looked up and murmured annoyedly, “You should praise me instead of calling me stupid. You know?”

Raising his eyes, Keir ask

    Firefly!”Keir’s mischievous smirk disappeared instantly. His emerald eyes darkened like angry thunderclouds. He suddenly had a fiery, angry look that was unfamiliar to me. Before I could realise what was going on in his mind, Keir approached me in the blink of an eye.Hovering over me, he harshly grabbed my cheeks as he asked in a cold and lashing tone, “How! How did you know this name? Who are you?”He was standing a few inches away from me, tall and angry. His burning gaze bore into me with silent expression. The torment and frustration were clear in his tone. I couldn’t understand why that name triggered him so much.I somehow managed to mumble, ignoring the firm grip of his fingers, “What do you wanna know exactly?”Keir’s infuriated voice muttered impatiently, “Who is Firefly? Is that you? Did we meet before? Why do you keep coming into my nightmares? Why the hell don't you let me sleep every night? What have I-”“Keir! Calm down!”I mumbled in a scared tone, “I-I saw a firefly

    “Don’t leave! If you don't treat your wound right now, it can get infected,” I murmured in a low and trembling tone, still grabbing his sleeve firmly.Keir sighed as he turned to me, “Are you scared to stay alone? I can send Violet to-”“NO! I am not scared of anything.”I demanded in a gentle tone, stealing a glance of his deep injury from his right shoulder to his back, “Let me call the nurse for you.”Keir looked a bit puzzled at first, not understanding why I was so demanding. But, looking at my teary eyes and the dark red spots on my cheeks, his face softened. He replied after a little pause, looking at me, “I don’t like to be touched by any female. Don’t call the nurse. I will treat it myself.”My mouth felt like old paper, dry and dusty. Without letting go of his sleeve, I murmured promptly, “There is the first aid box in that cabinet. Do it here. I will help you if you need.”Honestly, I was very reluctant to let him go at that moment.A weird fear was tormenting me within. It

    Asher? How did he-”Keir answered while putting on the shirt, “I sent my car for him. You must be worried for him so I brought him here.”I replied happily, “Come in, Ashy.”Suddenly recalling his injury, I stopped Keir hastily, “I wasn’t done yet. I need to wrap the bandage.”Gently brushing his fingers on my cheeks once again, he murmured in his magnetic tone, “Sorry for losing control and hurting you and thanks for the first aid. I will take care of the rest.”My little boy already entered the cabin while holding his dinosaur plushie. Though I wanted to stop Keir, he already stood up from his chair and picked Asher up from the ground with a bright and unusual face, “Little Man, good to see you here.”Asher’s face also beamed happily. Wrapping his tiny arms around his neck, he answered promptly, “Keir Uncle, did you save my mommy from bad people like I watched in the cartoon?”Keir chuckled softly, “Who told you that?”“Morris Uncle told me.

    “Get in!”“You? Why are you here?”I was shocked to see Keir in the driver's seat of the car. Coming out of the car, Keir opened the door for me as he answered briefly, “To pick you up. Morris and Violet are not in the town today.”“I know that. I could just return to my home alone. I wasn’t expecting you here,” I answered promptly. However, opening the front door for me, next to the driver seat, he answered casually, “You are not returning home. I asked the doctor and he said that you can join the work from today.”“What! That’s just unfair. Can’t I get a holiday?” I complained helplessly.Keir signed me to enter inside the car as he answered nonchalantly, “No, no more holiday. You already enjoyed two lazy days.”I got in the car as I mumbled, rolling my eyes, “Those were just painful days. Humph!”I noticed Keir’s mischievous smirk, playing on his lips. He looked in a light mood that morning as he started the car. Suddenly, he leaned closer to me, startling me. While pulling the s

    “Hmm!”I sighed again, staring out of the window and looking at the greenery on both sides of the road.The car was running at a high speed. The sky was still cloudy and it was drizzling outside, drawing various patterns on the glass of the car window. Fixing his emerald eyes on the road, Keir asked in a concerned tone, “Why are you sighing so much today? Are you feeling sick?”Keir’s deep and husky voice broke my reverie. Forcing a small smile, I shook my head in denial, “No, I am not sick.”“Then? What's wrong? You ramble all the time. Your silence is suspicious today,” Keir commented in a teasing tone.I couldn’t help but smile now. Yawning sleepily, I answered teasingly,“I am letting you have some peace of mind, Sir. Anyway, where are we going?”“Somewhere.”I asked, squinting my eyes, “Doesn't that somewhere have any name? You have been driving for half an hour already. How far is it?”“30 mins more. We are going to Lyx Harbour. I have a meeting there,” Keit answered briefly, fo

    Darkness was ruling over the Starfall forest.‘Hoot! Hoot!’ The frequent screaming of the owls bothered the enigmatic tranquillity of the night until footsteps began to increase, crackling the dry branches and leaves under its claws.It was the footsteps of a night creature that was running through that dense, Starfall forest of Auryn. Her breathing was heavier as she ran faster until she reached the top of the mountain that was separating Auryn and Verena, working as a border between those two kingdoms. That golden she-wolf stood higher on her hind legs, pointing her nose towards the moon.The silvery moon, loomed large, surrounded by an ethereal glow like the mighty queen of the velvety black sky. The stars in the presence of the moon made it the guardian of all the stars.That Shewolf’s golden and silky fur tousled by the soft breezes of the spring as her rare purple eyes were the colour of lavenders; lively, enchanting, and beautiful. Breaking that serene silence of that silve

    POV of Eliza Claire Gold(5 years later, Velvet Villa, Starlight Kingdom)‘Knock! Knock!’“Are you ready, Lily?”Issac’s gentle voice echoed from the opposite side of the door as I checked myself once again, staring at my reflection in the huge, round mirror of the washroom, and then replied, curling my lips into a seductive smile, “More than ready, Sir. Let’s taste some exotic wine tonight.”“Not Sir. It is Issac. How many times do I have to correct you?” Issac protested annoyedly.Clicking my tongue, I only blurted out a tiny ‘sorry’ in response. Grabbing my masquerade mask, I fixed my astounding and comfortable, red dress, embroidered with shimmering golden threads. However, it was a little too revealing and attention-seeking, not according to my taste. While putting on the mask, I opened the door and approached Issac Liwan, my senior and trainer who was standing all dressed up in a maroon tuxedo. Issac swung his head around to look up at me. He scanned me critically and beamed

    (POV of Eliza Claire Gold)‘Damn! It looks magnificent.’I mumbled as I entered the vast hall of the VIP floor. It was more extravagantly decorated than the ground floor. A famous pianist was playing a gentle piano tune as some luxuriously dressed couples were swaying their bodies along with it. ‘I should go and find Mr Hogg before anyone else recognises me here,’ I thought to myself as I paved my way through the crowd. Instead of taking the left, I turned right in the direction of the confidential area. That floor was specially reserved for the elite guests of the party so the security was also very strict there. The moment I tried to enter the corridor of the guests’ rooms, I was stopped by two guards who blocked my path, “May we see your ID card, Mam?”“Sure, one minute”, I pretended for a moment to search inside my handbag. Then I flashed them a disappointed smile as I answered in my honeyed tone while playing with a strand of my hair, “I am so sorry. I just forgot it in the ro

    (Golden Heart Packhouse, At 3:45 AM, present time)“Alpha!”A tall guy stormed into the vast and dark hall of the Golden Heart pack. Even in the dim light, the grandeur of the hall was clearly visible. There were none except for a single tall silhouette, resting on the huge golden throne in the middle of the hall. A soft tune was playing on the gramophone.His pale skin was complimenting his ginger hair. A black and long nightgown covered most of his body as he was holding a glass of whiskey, sipping from it occasionally. It looked like he was patiently waiting for someone.The dark silhouette entered hurriedly as his voice rose an octave, “Alpha! The meeting was interrupted.”The guy on the throne straightened his back as he asked in a deep voice, “Who dared to interrupt us, Jorden?”Jorden could feel the wrath in his low and deep tone. Taking a step forward, he removed his mask and replied guiltily, “Keir Walker and his pack members.”The loud noise of the crashing of the glass echo

    “No, let me stay and help you. They are outnumbering us.”I protested instantly while slashing the furry flesh of those females and guards who already began to shift in their werewolf and lycan forms. Violet grabbed my wrist as she insisted, “Miss, you must not stay here. The fight will get nasty from here.”I could feel that. Though Keir had only three or four pack members to help him, they were all vicious and impossible to fight back. Shifting in their Lycan forms, they began killing and attacking mercilessly. In a few minutes, the white and clean marble floor flooded with crimson liquid. Injured and corpses scattered here and there.However, the numbers of attackers were only increasing with time. I could feel that Keir’s pack members had already begun to get exhausted. They called for backup when one of those young lads got injured terribly.It was total mayhem so I didn’t want to leave in that situation selfishly.Swiftly moving my dagger, I cut the throat of an attacker who wa

    “Mmh! We shouldn't-”Keir's mouth covered mine in a hungry and demanding kiss, cutting me in the middle. I couldn’t help but let out a soft moan, pressing harder against him.“This taste! Have I kissed you before?” Keir mumbled between our lips while sucking my tongue passionately.Blood pounded in my brain, leapt from my heart and made my knees tremble. His lips continued to explore my soft ivory flesh as his lips seared a path down my neck to my shoulders.His fingers were hastily untying the knots of my fancy gown. His hands wandered recklessly on my back as his warm and moist lips kept on descending to my collarbone and downward, igniting my body heat. My body melted against him and the world was filled with him, exploding in a downpour of fiery sensation.I gasped in a sweet agony, “K-Keir! S-Stop it, please!”Though I was pleading with him to stop, my arms were encircled around his neck, and my body arched up to his. He was biting the tender flesh of my neck gently as he was sni
