43- “Dress up.”

Camilla Castello.

One of my favorite things to do, and one of the ways Luna and I bond quite a lot is through dress up. No matter who I was in the past, there was one thing I always held on to regardless and if I say so myself, I exceled in it. That is dressing up to the tee and leaving a lasting impression. My fashion sense is that good.

Luckily for me, my daughter inherited that great sense of fashion for even for a six-year-old, the little girl knows her colors and her outfits—she is always so well coordinated and believe me when I say, she picks up her own outfits mostly these days. But, I enjoyed those days when I picked out everything for her, and I revere in it. So, whenever I get the chance to dress her up, or anyone else, I am always up on my toes—all my worries of the world flying out the roof and not making an appearance again for that moment.

Can you now guess how excited I am for this? To dress up Aurora and bring out the beauty I know she has behind those

    44- “Battle of Lunas.”Camilla Castello.I was the first to step out into the lawn where I had decided to hold the brunch instead, because having it outside just fits better than having it inside as they originally planned. There is just something about the light ambiance of being outside and being under the sky—the sun is not up, it is, but it is not scorching or anything. Rather, the air was warm, just the right temperature and the sun was high enough to illuminate everywhere with its light but not bright enough to disturb anyone.There is a greenhouse in the lawn with enough space inside to host the brunch. It was covered with lass walls, allowing anyone outside to see everything going on without any obstruction, and the sunlight filters in through the panels, giving it a warm glow and an air of nature to surround it as a whole. Considering it is already filled with flowers at the extremes and specific sides, we had vines hung up to give it a natural look.For tables, they were of

    45- “The Brunch.”Camilla Castello.“Let us settle down then.” I said, as I pulled my seat as the head of the table on one end, and settled down on it. Turning around to Aurora who was hiding behind me, I gestured to the seat to my left which I had designated to her. “Aurora? Your seat.”She looked up, her eyes dilated slightly in surprise by the sitting arrangement. I had handled this so she did not know where I placed her as well, I had it handled after we left and from what I am seeing, they did it just as I asked them to. I made a mental note to thank the workers for their hard work.At the mention of her name, it seems they all realized her presence then and believe me when I say I could hear some visibly gasp at her sudden change. Intertwining my fingers in front of me with my arms resting on the table, my gaze watching the shocked looks masking their features. My lips slowly slanted into a smirk as Aurora took cautious steps towards the designated seat, pulling it back, she set

    46- “Pushing the right buttons.”Camilla Castello.She is calling me out in public, but she is making it sound kind at the same time, in a hypocritical way. I quickly realized then even if I had missed it before that Roseline is the manipulating type—the one that will stick to you and gaslight you into thinking you are the bad person when in actuality, they are.I unfisted my hand, lifting my thumb off my knuckles as I leaned back on my chair as well, crossing my legs in the way that I mirror her, only I rested my arms on the armrest beside me. “What do you want to know?” I hummed, “Lay the questions out.” Though I kept my gaze on her, it was directed to everyone seated there. I have nothing to hide—except Luna, but I doubt they will link anything to that since no one knows of her existence.Their questions came pouring almost instantly, while Roseline held my gaze, a smug look taking over her features no doubt getting exactly what she wants.The first question came from a voice that

    47- “Their Meeting.”Adrian Moretti.Our meeting today turned out to be more productive than that of yesterday, there were no distractions, no particular she-wolf that has me wanting me to throw out everything and drag her out somewhere so we can handle the issues between us first, no acts from that she wolf and a particular vampire that has me wanting to rip him apart regardless of what implications might follow.The air was so much better without the women glaring at each other as well, because it does not take a genius to know they have reservations towards a certain someone and they did not do much to hide it. Do not get me wrong, the women do have really great ideas, and we could tackle this issue much faster if they actually decide to help and not worry about their own personal issues.That is a bit hypocritical coming from me seeing as I hold a certain beef towards a certain cold skinned Vampire, but I know when to put aside those feelings and work well, and that is exactly wha

    48- “Hidden Bond.”Adrian Moretti.“It is when the lives of our people are already being lost,” Once again, it was Alpha Kai that dared to speak, saying his mind without a second thought whatsoever or fear. It is one of the reasons he and I have always been good friends, because we seemed to share the same opinion on these kind of things—his being more firm than mine always. “they killed ours, there is no reason for us to spare theirs. You do not fight fire with ice,” His voice dropped, his tone cold. “You fight fire with fire.” His eyes held the same flaming determination as the one his words held.See, that is where the difference between I and him lies. Alpha Kai is a firm believer of an eye for an eye, no middle grounds. It has always been in his nature, when you do something to him, he pays you back—he does not forgive, or forget, especially not when it comes to fights and those that he loves. It is always the strong ones, he gets along with those that are strong. Weak people are

    49- “Thoughts to Share.”Camilla Castello.I blinked, as Adrian held my gaze unmoving, his forest green eyes piercing in the way that I could feel my breath hitching and as if he could unravel every layer of my being. The noises in the background and the people as a whole disappeared, and something in the air shifted, I could feel the change but it was slight, I could not point a finger at what it is exactly. Somehow, that change feels like a light buzz in me, I could feel it coursing through my veins but it felt nonexistent.If I was not so sure of what I heard and felt, I would have believed it was all in my mind and that nothing happened. But, it did, and that something has to do with Adrian even if I have no logical explanation for it. It was just there.The feeling it left in its awake though was something akin to peace, of calmness impossible to point a finger at. The kind that has you forgetting your entire situation and surrounding exists, it was exactly that kind of feeling.

    50- “50 Shades of Cassain.”Camilla Castello.I did not allow my thoughts to stray back there again, not when he is doing this best to steer it away for my sake. So, I nodded simply, my lips pressed together—still aware of those eyes following our every move but my attention was only half on him, the other was on Cassain, whom I would not mind giving my entire attention to really.His smile widened in response to the answer I gave him. “Good.” He breathed out. “Let us get out of here. The time of sharing you with others is over.” Then he leaned down to my ears, his lips brushing it as he whispered. “I need you all to myself now.” He met my gaze, a teasing look in his eyes and expression as he gave me a sultry smile.I could only stare at him with parted lips and slightly dilated eyes that others will probably take as me being turned on, or enchanted by him or whatever he said, from the corner of my eyes I could see the ladies passing by us and there is still a particular group of men

    51- “The Three Musketeers.”Adrian Moretti.“Okay, I did not want to say anything before--” Alpha Logan started, and from the way his tone is and his straying gaze to meet mine with furrowed brows that shows the wheels in his brain working at a faster rate than usual, I knew I would not like whatever will come past his lips.Luckily, Caleb shares the same thought as me so he was quick to intercept in and stop the man. “Then do not say it.” He grumbled, twirling the tumbler in his hand filled with beer and a few ice blocks. It is his second cup, but he was not even tipsy in the slightest—werewolf genes and all.There is no liquor in the human world that could knock any of us out, the most is to get a tad bit tipsy, so drinking human liquor in the day means nothing other than a couple of guys just exchanging somber words over it, a good inclination that there is something bothering us, but none would say a thing about it. The presence and the liquor is already of enough importance.Alph

    80- “EPILOGUE.”Camilla Castello.‘Can’t wait to see you walking down the aisle. Happy wedding day, My Queen.’ A smile made its way on my face as I read the message he had attached to the flowers he had delivered to my room while I was getting ready for our big day. And as I plucked the perfectly settled card in between the flowers, a wave of déjà vu hit me as I am reminded of our wedding ten years ago, the wedding that never took place.Now, who would have thought? Five months into Adrian proposing to me and four months into me agreeing to come back to the Kingdom, we are finally tying the knot for real, and I am to be his lawful wife? Who would have thought really?Except that feeling of déjà vu did not linger much, because the setting of our wedding is not like before and a lot has changed since that. Now, a feeling of anticipation and eagerness settled within me, all too giddy about the ceremony up ahead. And, as I stood in front of the full length mirror, giving myself a onceover

    79- “Embracing the Good.”Camilla Castello.“Adrian,” I breathed out, pulling myself away from him as I sat up, then turned my head around just in time to see him get up to a sitting position as well, his own expression serious. I brought my lower lip between my teeth, nibbling it before I sighed once again, my expression softening. “I do not think that is a good idea.”The past few days we have spent together have been nothing short of blissful, I admit. And if I am to be greedy one more time, I would wish for what we have ongoing to remain in the human world alone and not go back to where we had left. But, I knew it was all just wishful thinking, I have known for the longest time. I just did not want to acknowledge it, wanting to live in this dream of mine a little longer before I would have to face reality. The reality where Adrian cannot live in the human world for he has greater responsibilities back at the Kingdom, and he cannot stay away for long.I have thought long and hard a

    Adrian Moretti’s POV.Her breath was a soft gasp against my ear, the sound sending a shiver down my spine as sparks flew from the contact, all taking root from the mate bone. I held her close, feeling the heat of her skin against mine, her pulse racing beneath my fingertips and the feel of her warm body against mine.. The world had zeroed to this moment, the feel of her body moving with mine, the low hum of her voice barely audible between her ragged breaths. Fuck I love this woman and I miss the feel of her.“Adrian…” she whispered, my name falling from her lips like a plea, and I answered her with a growl, pulling her even closer, if that were possible. I am barely keeping my wolf in check from taking over.I could feel the tension building between us, her body trembling under my touch, my own pulse thundering in my ears. Every muscle in my body was strung tight, and I knew neither of us would last much longer. But hell do I want this with her, more than anything.Her nails raked do

    77- “Making Claims.”Camilla Castello.My smile widened slightly, the correction jogging my memory from the day before, out of fondness, “Simon,” I corrected myself, nodding my head slowly as I tapped in the input, ready to take his order. Meeting his gaze again, I offered him a slight smile. “What will be your order today, Simon?”His expression seemed relieved, as if glad I had gone along with his name rather than the formality from earlier. “the same as yesterday,” he stated, without so much as a glance in the direction of the menu. “Your choices from yesterday proved to be very much welcomed truly.”“My choices?” My brows drew in, “You picked what you wanted. I merely hinted you being British.”“Which is not far off,” He pointed out, his tone knowing and teasing.I chuckled slightly, then nodded in agreement. “Which is not far off.” I agreed, then tapped in his orders same as yesterday, glad I could remember them all. Once I had done so, I looked up to hold his gaze again. “It wil

    76- “Blissful Moments.”Camilla Castello.Adrian stayed true to his words about taking Luna to school, but of course, after getting his change of outfit brought by Caleb and showering. Some how, he actually managed to make it on time before Luna wakes up and gets ready. He even took the liberty of making breakfast for all of us, making me just sit on the stool and watch as he went about his work in the kitchen.I could not help but look at him in surprise, as Luna was getting ready while he and I were in the kitchen, with him handling the breakfast as he had promised. “Since when have you been one to know your way around the kitchen?” I asked, drawing my robe closer to my body as I crossed my arms over my torso, staring at him with furrowed brows. “Last I remember, you cannot do anything in the kitchen.” And that is the truth, cooking is not his forte, it has never been. The Adrian I remember cannot go into the kitchen and turn on the gas cooker without burning the kitchen down.This

    Camilla Castello’s POVI stirred awake to the sensation of soft, lingering kisses trailing down my neck. For a second, I was a bit confused as to what is going on since I have grown accustomed to waking up alone in my bed, but a familiar scent registered in my mind, and the memories of last night came pouring in, making a small, soft smile take over my featured as I felt nothing other than satisfaction.There were no regrets whatsoever.My body responded instinctively, arching slightly as warmth spread from where his lips touched, the tingles returning reminding me of our newly renounced mate bond. My eyes fluttered open, and I turned my head to find Adrian already hovering above me, his dark eyes filled with a familiar intensity that sent a thrill through me."Morning," he murmured, his voice deep and low, sending shivers along my spine. His eyes, those familiar forest green orbs were now dark and hooded, desire swirling in them new compared to last night. Knots formed within me, hea

    74- “Skins In Silk.”Camilla Castello.I do not know why I did it, but there was no ounce of regret in me. One minute, I was staring at him as he rambled on about wanting us to rekindle our relationship and start all over on a fresh slate, and how we wasted ten years of our lives for waste just like that, and I could not help but agree with him. For the first time in a long time, I decided to just let go of every thing and screw it, and the next minute I found myself kissing him. He seemed taken aback for a second, but he quickly recovered, his arms wrapping round me back as he kissed me feverishly, more sensuously.I found myself sitting on his lab, straddling him as we continued our kiss—the sound of heavy breaths filling the air of the room. One of his hands remained on my waist, grasping it tightly while the other slipped to my hair, pulling softly at its root just as mine roamed in his hair.His lips left mine just as I was starting to become breathless, but it trailed downwards,

    73- “Winning Her Back.”Adrian Moretti.Three years. It has been three years since Camilla disappeared from the supernatural realm, and the reason is not entirely unknown. At this point, it already well known that Cassain, the Vampire King’s mate has returned, and that their love story has continued from where it stopped. Where she has been since her ‘death’ and why she chose to return then of all times when the relationship between Cassain and Camilla is picking up remains a mystery, but it is already known that it is the reason Camilla went missing.Every one else thinks Cassain has forgotten her, but I know otherwise. He has still been looking for her, and has found her even. He just did not show up, knowing she would not want to see him, and I could not blame her.It is kind of the same with me as well. It has been three years since she and I officially met—and why I say officially is, unlike Cassain, I do not exactly have the patience to know where she is and not visit her. In ev

It got answered to a certain extent when I brought it to him and he gestured for me to sit down while he got on his feet, taking a hold of the kit and placing it on the coffee table beside us.I could only stare at him with drawn in brows and question swirling in my orbs. I watched as he opened the first aid kit, pulling out some essentials and then turned around to look at me, his expression unmoved. “Let me see your wound,” He said.If possible, my frown deepened, “What?” His words caught me slightly off guard, though a part of me did expect this much when he mentioned the first aid kit thing because it does not seem like he is injured whatsoever.“Your shirt,” he stated, his tone calm, but stern at the same time. “Take it off.”Subconsciously, I wrapped my hand around my self, my eyes narrowed at him slightly as if to silently question whether he knows what he is sa
