"You shouldn't have said that."
"I am aware Wraya. You have made it quite clear in the last forty minutes."
"I can't believe you said that."
"Stop rubbing it in my face."
"You are terrible at socializing."
"Wraya-"
"You could have just stayed quiet if you-"
"Wraya if you don't stop this instant I swear to the Moon Goddess I will send you back to your mother once and for all."
Silence.
"Yes sire."
I sigh in frustration, watching as the huge figure of Wraya retreated with his wings folded behind him. Messing up my hairs and grunting to myself, I looked down at the garden below, the b

~Your smile, even your scentI’ve always waited, counting down with my fingersNo matter where I am, it’s only you~ -(IOI) I Love You, I Remember You Stefanos: "No one has ever stood up for me like you did." The same sentence has been going on repeat through my head like a mantra. If I could rephrase her sentence I could always say that the words referenced a certain pick-up line that has been used by Alpha’s trying to woo Omegas: You're the first person to treat me like that. Wasn't that an alpha thing to do? I could hardly wrap my head around the thought of how foolishly bold the flower thief was becoming. For a moment a surge of protectiveness came over me when I thought about what would have been the consequences if she told the same to other alpha’s who gave a hand in helping her? Would she say the same thing to everyone? The wolf in me almost growled with the thought yet the human side in me wasn't ready to acknowledge my wolf's sudden change in attitude t

It doesn't take a genius to know that Stefanos was restless as he paced the entirety of his chambers briskly. Wraya watched his master gnawing at his fingernails in concentration, a frown edged on the red beast's face. For hours Stefanos just circled around, ignoring all the questions Wraya threw at him. The beast sighed, covering himself with his leather wings before he deadpanned. "It's the flower thief isn't it?" Stefanos stopped abruptly, the mention of Xenia sending his heart to a marathon. He turned to the Dragon with his eyebrows knitted together. "Whatever made you come to that conclusion Wraya?" "You haven't taken off your mask yet, sire." Stefanos turned towards his mirror only to realize that it's shroud

~You’re so beautiful I want to place you in my eyes I wonder if you know my heart Your smile captivates me You make me smile every day Cuz you’re my beauty~ -(Verivery) My BeautyStefanos:After the day at the market place I could gladly tell that things between Xenia and I have gotten easier and friendly...maybe? I still doubt the friend’s part because as I have mentioned before, being friends is like opening up to each other in more than one ways, and I clearly wasn't ready to announce the obvious reasons for me hiding my face. Also news flash, being friend’s means knowing each other's name but it seems that this particular friendship is quite uncommon to find, where Xenia doesn't even know my name.I sat perplexed in my giant king sized bed, with the red silk sheets dangling over my bed in every direction. It was yet another fine morning and I couldn't bring myself to go look outside my giant window which looked out at the garden. For sure the flower thief was

The girl who was currently lying on my arms, writhing in pain. I was caught up in a dilemma of where I should be taking her. Firstly, because I had no exact clue where the girl lived and secondly, if I decide to take her to my tower, it means I'm going to risk everything, including my identity. There was no way I could take her there, especially not when I am an Alpha and confining the girl at my home will never bring me peace. I don't mean that I can't control my urges; in fact I have been controlling them for years now without any problem. Yet, who knows what Xenia might bring into me, after everything sh

The walk back home for Niccolo was not that of a pleasant one. Thoughts of his conversation with the man in the flower field kept replaying in his head, bringing in a new wave of emotions every now and then. So entranced in his thoughts, it took Niccolo a while to realize that he was already home, light escaping from the windows as he heard the low chatter of his friends inside. Night had already taken over and Niccolo was exhausted, but the thoughts of his encounter remained a constant companion to him. With a heavy sigh, Niccolo walked forward and pulled the door open, the chatter inside the house coming to an abrupt halt as the young men inside noticed Niccolo’s presence. “And now, he finally decides to grace us with his holy presence! Welcome, Sir Niccolo!” Vittorio announced sarcastically, standing up from his sitting position and bowing mockingly, grinning like a fool only to earn a smack on the back by Jecopo. Yovanni grunted in response, shaking his head disapprovingly

Sme·ràl·do [Authors: Aysha Khan & Zohara Khan] AFTERWORDS
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

~I started to become greedyI wanted to live with you, grow old with youHold your wrinkled handsAnd say how warm my life was~ -(Ailee) I Will Go To You Like The First Snow --------- --------- ----------- ------- -------- "Dear Stefanos, If you are reading this, then I guess you already know what has happened. 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

~Maybe back thenA littleJust this muchIf I had the courage to stand before youWould everything be different now~ - (BTS) The Truth Untold --------- ---------- --------- --------- ---------- Stefanos: I still want you… Even after the news of Xenia’s death, even after Draco broke down in front of me, even after I found myself blacking out in the middle of the market place I was still stuck with one thought for the last five days. 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

~Bloomed in a garden of lonelinessA flower that resembles youI wanted to give it to youAfter I take off this foolish mask~ - (BTS) The Truth Untold ---------- ------------ ---------- ------------ ----- Stefanos: The seeds were in a soft mixture in shades of pink, purple and blue. 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

"Those men like telling tales to get into people's head, and judging by your reaction, I believe they succeeded." "Even then, let me come with you." "You will draw too much attention Wraya." "Sire-" "What is going on?" Came a different voice than that of the said dragon’s master, making Stefanos and Wraya almost jump out of their skins. "Merciful Luna! 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.

Yes, seeds. The first and only thing that I remembered as soon as I woke up the next morning. All my plants were dying and Xenia needed more money and if this is the only way to help her, I should do my best. “Wraya!” In no time the dragon was flying over to my room, tensed on why I was summoning him at this early hours of the day. “Yes sire, you called?” Landing swiftly on the ground he stood with his hinge legs folded on the front. “We need to go buy more seeds, Xenia is in desperate need for money and I need to help her.” I dragged myself from the bed and walked back and forth, my eyebrows furrowed in deep thought on what seeds will be more beneficial. “But sire…haven’t you

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." "I can see that, but why?" This had Stefanos’s attention, as he glanced at the reflection of Wraya, loosening a little bit of pressure. "What do you mean why? Aren't you happy? Surprised? Your master is looking at himself in the
