~You kidding? Who do you think I am?

Am I easy? Uh, are you playing with me?

You're in danger~

                -(BTS) Danger

---------------------------------------

The sound of the growling wolves neared the masked man and his omega, at the same time they prepared to shift. With his heart hammering wildly in his chest, Stefanos swallowed the bile in his throat that felt like lead, before turning away from Xenia, and in one swift motion, pulled out his mask.

“Adrian-“

But too late. Before Xenia can even utter a word, the sound of cracking bones started again, only this time it wasn’t coming from the bushes. It was Stefanos himself.

Stefanos groaned, releasing a loud moan as he fell on his knees while his joints cracked, and fur began sprouting on his face. Xenia stared in wonder, fascinated by the man whose face she

Xenia wasn’t any different. While Stefanos had the luxury of having his face covered with the muffler, Xenia was just like an open book, her cheeks a dark shade of crimson. No words were spoken after their awkward Hi, the warm November breeze swishing by them, slapping Xenia’s hairs into Stefanos face. This was enough an action to pull the two werewolves out of their trance, as Stefanos cleared his throat and jumped away from her, grabbing the mask from her hands and placing it back on his face. All the while,

We stopped by Xenia's flower cart which hardly had any flowers, except for the very few which looked like they were dying by any minute and no one would be interested to buy dead flowers, as I have already suspected. So I asked Xenia the obvious, "Didn't you get your daily dose of flowers today? Why are these dying?" I know that she did not come to the garden for stealing them today so I wanted to know the reason behind to it. Xenia was shocked with my question as if not expecting it, as her face turned away and she tried masking some emotions that I wasn't familiar with, gulping down deeply. What is wrong with her so suddenly? "I…" she started. "Are you a

Soon the Dragon was in front of him, placing a cup of tea clumsily in front of him with his large mouth, slipping some of its contents on the saucer. "Thank you." Stefanos grunted out anyways, picking up the cup and taking in a huge gulp. He really needed it. Meanwhile Wraya tilted his huge head sideways as of studying his master, a frown edged on to his really face. "You look bothered sire. What bothers you so?" Once again the Dragon was curious, but this time around, Stefanos let him be, feedi

After pacing between several thoughts of what kind of apology would do better, I made up my mind and realised I had to meet the omega who was still mad at me as she hasn’t shown up for stealing any flowers for the past few days. And the best thing to do was search for her in the marketplace. But turns out my luck were bad and the omega wasn’t in the market place so I went on to search in the meadow or any possible location that I and her ever visited, but to no avail. At t

Draco shrieked for the nth time that day, clutching on to Wraya's scaly back with as much of his strength as he could muster. His blonde hairs flew back wildly, while his whole body seemed to be buried in Wraya's scales. "This is madness! Madness I say!" The wind beat around them harshly, but no reply came from any of his companions. Not Wraya, nor Stefanos. "Are you even listening to me!?" "Keep screaming and one day you will speak sense." Stefanos replied calmly, sitting with all his elegance on top of Wraya and the complete opposite of his companion. Draco fumed, feeling his anger rising, but the nervousness getting the best of it. "I hate you." "The feeling is mutual." "How did I ever come to agree with this? Oh r

But the main question is, how are we going to get Xenia out?" Draco voiced out the obvious, looking from the masked man to the large red beast, while the duo only seemed concentrated in thought. Until Wraya finally spoke up. "Shouldn't the question be 'where' is Xenia first? Then how to get her out?" "Xenia is in the Palace, that I know." Draco replied with a shrug, catching Stefanos attention. "How do you know that?" The question had been as simple as it sounded, but the young Alpha seemed to be taking offence to literally anything Stefanos would say. However this time, he didn't show it. All he did was stare directly at

    Have you ever wondered, what could be the difference between something that sounded just the same as another, only that they weren't same at all, and instead were complete opposites? Did it ever occur to you that sometimes, we often used them together, calling them to be the same and not knowing its true definition or even if we did, we didn't really care. We didn't really care what it meant unless something tragic happened to us, and we are forced to look into its deeper meaning. One such thing, was this. The definition of loving yourself. To many, it sounds like a narcissistic thing to do, thinking too high of oneself or feeling like they are better than everyone else in all aspects. Yes, that is what many think loving yourself means. But that, my dear readers, is where we confuse ourselves. Loving yourself is not narcissistic, it's...embracing yourself. Because not every single person out there believes they are better than others, that they are higher in status, prettier, or a

    ~I'm cryingThat’s disappearedThat’s fallenLeft alone in this sandcastleLooking at this broken mask And I still want youBut I still want you~ - (BTS) The Truth Untold ------ -------- ------- -------- ------ A cold silence fell over the room as the seven young man took in every words just uttered by one of them. No words escaped their lips, no thought spoken out loud, for not only were their minds clouded at that moment, but their hearts began shattering as well. They did not know these people, never even met them and here they were, mourning at the loss the masked man had to go through, grieving alongside him and the one that told Niccolo the story. To them this was a story that was life changing, and it wasn't an exaggeration, it was a fact, and they were the proof. For now, they felt like they were seeing the world a little differently. "It was after their return from Elixie." Niccolo slowly started again, wiping his glasses with a handkerchief absentminded

That I'm gone. But we made a promise, didn't we? To share our final secret with each other? So I'm writing this to you, wishing and hoping that you find it like I hope you will. This is the first time I'm actually writing a letter to someone, and it will probably be the last. It feels odd how I had never really used my ability to write once childhood had left me. And now here I am. You see, when I was but seven years old, a healer had told my father I was ill, and that I would die young. Terrified, he decided to look for a cure amongst plants and herbs.

Xenia was no more. My omega, the first person who made me open up, my mate…the precious part of my soul was no more. How is it that just two months ago you see the person you love the most near you, happy, alive and breathing only to realise the next moment that you were too late. Too late to ever see them again. I had never felt this level of despair, had never felt like life was this empty. Nothing had ever compared to this, to losing my love. I couldn’t imagine a worse pain than this.

Three days until the village of Vesilios had a chance to finally see the Smeraldo flower in its true form and not just a tale told from books. Three days until the villagers had a chance to actually buy it for the offering. But the one to sell them was nowhere to be seen. Stefanos stared out of his bedroom window, down at the garden with a firm look, as if he could not understand where his math calculation had gone wrong. Although he was high up, Stefanos could easily spot the vibrant colours of the Smeraldo's as they bloomed for a new day. He had been so excited to tell Xenia all about it. His adventures in trying to obtain the seeds from the Elk Forest, how it took him

They were beautiful, even as a seed they were glowing like Safire’s and Jade’s. How come something like this so magical and ethereal exist and I had no idea about them? Just watching those sitting on my bedroom table on a jar still had me questioning how I managed to have these. Was this really the famous Smeraldo flower seeds like everyone is talking about? Flower seeds were more precious than anything to me and knowing that I had these seeds in my possession really flattered me. Usually I had a manual on how to grow different plants but this time I was left with no choice but myself, I’ve searched around everywhere for any book containing the basics of growing this flower but ther

While he remained calm on the outside, his insides seemed like they would explode from the pressure he was building inside him, his hand turning red from how tight he had fisted them. Meanwhile, Wraya leaned his large head against the window with a bored expression, his eyelids hooded in real boredom. "Sire, what are you doing?" "Staring at myself in the mirror Wraya."
