~I'm wondering, are you my best friend?

Feels like a river's rushing through my mind

I wanna ask you if this is all just in my head

My heart is pounding tonight, I wonder

If you are too good to be true

And would it be alright if I

Pulled you closer~

Stefanos:

“Come on now, you can’t just fall asleep in a flying dragon? Do you have a death wish?” I questioned, looking at none other than the silly alpha that, for the past few hours had his frightening episodes with Wraya but now it was completely a whole new story.

There lied Draco, his hands clutched on the dragon’s large scales for safety reasons, which didn’t look safe at all, not the l

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

Settle back in, or go after Xenia?” “Settle back in? Are you even hearing yourself Draco? We came all this way and you just want to let your best friend die here, in the hands of some ruthless monster?” I asked, the very man sitting in front of me as we were lounging ourselves in some kind of a tea shop. Wraya was God knows where; remind me to never let the dragon lose to some god forsaken land which he so much wants to explore. “Then what do you suggest we do? Go monster hunting?

Just like the previous day, they stood beside the board of notice, for beside it was a tea stall, where an old man was selling cheap tea. However cheap, his little stall seemed to be packed with customers, farmers finishing up the day with a hot cup of tea. And to share the days gossip. Stefanos glanced at Draco, and the duo nodded at each other, before Draco begin. "My my, look at my precious brows falling off! My clothes almost in tatters!

"Wraya! Wraya are you alright? Can you hear me?" It seemed like the questions fell into deaf ears, for as the words left his mouth, no reply came, which only scared the men even more. Then, out of nowhere, someone groaned amongst the darkness, revealing a Bat like wing towards the alphas. "I've...been better." Wraya croaked out, while Stefanos and Draco sighed out in relief, glad that he was alive. "Are you okay, sire?" "You don't have to worry about him, worry about yourself!" Draco retorted, but as he said that, the two men spied yellow eyes staring towards Stefano

Unless he punishes the people who talk ill about him separately?“Can I know what it is about…?” I asked, knowing well enough that the guards would say anything than reply my question.

No sooner had the male arrived, Draco jumped to his feet, staring at the man. "What happened? What did the King want?" But the man in question didn't seem to reply, for he was busy stalking all over the tiny cell, his hands in his head as he muttered the same thing over and over again.

We were currently lounging on the ground, both trying to come up with a better plan on how to get ourselves out. “The longer I get to know you, the funnier you keep getting. Do you even know what you’re talking about? We are wolves Draco, not dragons.” I said, trying to learn some defence positions with the dagger I stole. “Well than you tell me a better plan? I suggested something at least, while you’re just swinging a dagger here and there so uselessly” Draco fired back, a bored expression in his face as he watched me. “This dagger, right here is going to get us out and that’s why I’m practising with it.” “Wha-” “I noticed one thing familiar by staying

    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

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. Up until then, our lives had been nothing but merry, just what a seven year old child could wish for. My f

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. It literally felt like my heart was bein

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

Do that again and I will ban you from getting inside my tower!" Stefanos shrieked at Draco, clutching his heart in the process while the blond only watched with a frown.

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."
