A sigh of relief escaped my mouth when no one bothered to raise their hand or shout to stop the wedding. Everyone seemed to be at peace. My eyes landed on Rollina and she just raised her right brow at me. Wow, thankfully, she didn't ruin the wedding.My most awaited part finally came. I thought he was just gonna give me a smack but he kissed my lips so passionately for a couple of seconds. I still didn't wanna stop kissing but he parted our lips then he smirked at me.My cheeks heated as I turned my gaze back at the guest who was now clapping. I sighed. Her family wasn't the that bad as I imagined. I thought they were cruels like most of the rich families in movies. They seemed all nice though.After the wedding ceremony, we went back to the mansion to celebrate. I was just wowed when we entered the special dining room. The huge table was full of food and when I said huge, it was for real the longest table I had ever seen. It was truly a grand feast indeed. Fenris mentioned that this
"This is yours?" I looked up as my eyes wandered the huge house he just brought me into. It was almost as big as their family's mansion. The high, modern ceiling was so damn good plus the shimmering chandeliers."Our. This is our house," he declared."What do you mean our house?" My eyes widened at him. "You just bought this."He chuckled. "No. I bought this, a long time ago. I just don't stay here often and since we're already married, this is considered yours as well."I didn't know if I would be happy or shy. I did nothing to deserve to have a house this big and fancy."What's with the face? Don't you like this?" He wrapped his arm around my shoulders. "Should we buy another house?""What?! No!" I slapped his chest. "It's not necessary. I mean, you have the mansion and you have this. I think it's enough."He chuckled. "Once you experience living for a hundred years, you will see that one house isn't enough. You will get bored and of course, civilization happens so yeah." He shrugge
"I forgot what happened to her. It's been a long time, Kira."My lips parted. As I thought he was gonna spill some tea, he didn't."You said you'll be honest!" I frowned at him."I am.""Then why can't you tell me about the second one? You said you still remember two of them!""I can but past is past. Let's not bring it back."My brows crossed more. "We're not gonna bring it back! You're just gonna tell me about---""Kira, let's not ruin our honeymoon by talking about the woman in my past, okay?"My shoulders dropped as I pouted. "You don't wanna talk about her. It's like you're still affected by her.""I'm not. It's just that--- this night is about the present, about us. I don't wanna reminisce my past, not now, Kira.""Fine! But if you ever want to find a fling, just tell it to me, okay?" My heart pinched my chest. "So at least I'm aware.""Want to find a fling?" His brows crossed. "Why the fuck would I do that? And where did your idea come from huh? Are you planning to find one for
"Vilka, what?" He sounded annoyed but his stares at me were so fire. It was as if he was burning in pleasure and it painted on my skin. His were a glittering desire. Something possessed me to lick and suck his neck while his phone was on his hear."Where did you guys go? Mom is looking for you!" I heard Vilka's voice.I looked at Fenris and somehow felt worried. His mom was looking for us. I knew it. We shouldn't have ditched the party just like that. It was our party.Fenris grabbed my nape and pulled my head back to his neck. He reached for my ear as his warm breath travelled on my skin. "Continue, please," he whispered.I bit my lower lip before I kissed his neck again, licking and sucking it like a pro. He tasted so good. He was the sweetest dessert I could ever wish for "Fenris, are you there?!" Vilka's voice on the other line.Fenris bit his lower lip, suppressing a moan. He took a deep breath. "I'll talk to you tomorrow... I'm--- I'm busy... Vilka --- not now.""But mom is loo
My jaw dropped, reaching for some air as the pain stole my breath away. I trembled when I saw the amount of blood on my shirt. I inhaled so loud when she pulled out her claws on my body. She threw me away and my back landed on the ground. I held my bleeding stomach with my eyes burning hot."This is the beginning of my vengeance," she announced before she walked away still with poise.Naz went near me and covered my bleeding stomach with his palms. "Fuck this," he hissed. "Hey, Kira, hold on, okay? Your wounds will be healed. Just... hang on." He looked at Claudia who was now far from us. He gritted his teeth like he wanted to attack her back then he looked at me. "Shit, no. I cannot live you here like this." "Call..." I was losing more breath every second. "Call... Fenris."He hissed again before he carried me as I smelled the gas from the car. It exploded just enough for us to be away from it.He gently put me down on the ground before he grabbed his phone and called Fenris. We wer
I was trembling as I looked around in the black hole. I could really see nothing but darkness and in the corner was Claudia, sitting on the floor, in front of a floating grey shadow shaped like a man."I know what you feel," the shadow spoke and it trembled my chest more. He has no face at all, just plain shadow with a big man's voice like a monster echoing in my ear."Who--- who the fuck are you?" Claudia was crying yet in shock at the shadow."I am your friend, Claudia and I'm here to help you."Claudia covered her face with her palms as she cried more."Oh poor, Claudia. My poor little friend, Claudia. Let me guess, they're hunting you, right? They wanna kill you and you have nowhere to go.""How did you know that?!"The shadow flew around her before it stood in front of her again. "I told you, I'm your friend.""I don't know you!""Well, I'm here to make a deal with you, my dear friend. I will save you from chaos but you have to serve me, and I promise, we will be the most powerfu
Naz's adam's apple moved. "A humanoid werewolf, perhaps a werewolf summoned by a devil.""The Dark Summoner," Fenris uttered, sending goosebumps to my anxious body."Or Claudia," Naz's added. "But technically yeah, Dark Summoner is the one behind all these.""That cunning bitch," Vilka hissed. "And Darkesta. Goodness! How long is he gonna take vengeance for what our ancients did to them? It wasn't us who attacked and almost killed his family.""It doesn't matter to him. He wants to spread darkness and he will do that until he succeeds, but we must stop him." Fenris grabbed my glass of water and drank it straight."That's my water." I frowned at him."We're husband and wife. What's yours is mine and vice versa," he said as he put back the glass on the side of my plate.Nazarus cleared his throat. "You're right, Fenris. We must find a way to stop him.""For the meantime, we must stick together as much as possible," Fenris said before finally tasting the pasta I put on his plate. "I thin
My hands were trembling as I watched the wide view while we were on the helicopter. Naz held and massaged them."I swear to God, if something bad happens to you or me, oh goodness." I gasped, calming my thumping chest.I was nervous for real. I couldn't even stop thinking about Claudia's long nails when they struck my stomach. Her eyes, her pretty eyes were uncannily gorgeous but it was like a poisonous weapon. Her glares were sharp knives I wasn't sure if I could handle."Nothing bad is gonna happen to you. I'll protect you at all costs. Besides, she's not gonna see you. She will come for me and that will be the end of her."I rolled my eyes, still with my thundering chest. "You sound as if you're just gonna attack a rat. It's Claudia, Nazarus! A powerful devil is giving her power! You think you can outsmart her?""I'm hoping I could but I'm not certain."I gasped. "You can still back out. We can go back to your house and---" My lips froze while parting when my eyes landed at the top
I swallowed deeply after seeing some backpacks and winter clothes that they had prepared for us. My mind was roaring everywhere, and I couldn't even sink in the information Guardian Leo was saying to me.My chest was thudding so loud, and all I could think of was I wasn't ready. I didn't expect everything to happen this quick.We rode horses to travel the cold land, and I couldn't stop glancing at Fenris every time I would think of backing up. I sighed deeply and tried gathering courage from I didn't even know where I could actually get one. Perhaps, the look of Fenris reassuring me was enough.We arrived at the strange mountain ranges, and from there, we teleported to the icy plateau on top of the hill. My hands were trembling under my gloves. Fenris held me while we were looking around the place, examining the surroundings."I don't understand," I muttered. "I can't see anything but icy mountains. Where could be the location of Darkesta's territory?"I hugged myself when the strong
What happened that night was still hunting me to this day — it had been two weeks and up until now, we were still thinking of the purpose of why Darkesta's little dogs suddenly attacked us."Claude is dead."When Fenris brought me that news, I was stunned. I thought I would be happy to hear those words but then again, I remembered he was once my friend. Even though it wasn't really for him, it was real for me and Lilien."They decided to kill him after he almost successfully transformed himself into his wolf form," he added.I sipped on my cup of coffee while my heart was still feeling unsafe. Darkesta was not only the devil, he was intelligent and whatever he was plotting against us could be the real end of our kind. I was just so frightened by that thought."What about Vilka? Do you believe her?" I asked before sipping on my coffee again.Vilka explained to us why she suddenly disappeared from the mansion a minute after our soldiers had traced foot tracks of Dark Summoners. She said
My jaw tightened as my claws gripped tighter on the ground. I stepped back, lowering my body while gazing at the three creepy humanoid wolves. They were standing on their two legs, and it made them look more monstrous. I prepared myself for a possible attack."Calm down!" The humanoid wolves were almost laughing in my ears. I didn't know they could talk to us through the mind link. "You seem to be too threatened to us. Don't make it so obvious, I suggest." The humanoid wolf in the middle kept blubbering, sounding so boastful.I glared at them deeper as I hissed. Fenris was looking much more eager. I could even hear his blood boiling so hard.Fenris howled. "What do you want from us?!" He also spoke through mind-link. The humanoid wolf on the left side chuckled like a playful yet annoying child. "You know what we want. "We will never surrender to your greedy master, you asshole!" Fenris fired back while he was scratching his pointed claws on the ground with his sharp teeth showing.
My heart thundered as Fenris' eyes and mine met. "Stay here," he commanded."What? No—" He got out of the room without letting me finish my words. I gulped before I rushed to follow him downstairs. Noises were coming from outside the mansion and when we finally exited the house, I saw some soldiers talking and discussing some things. In contrast, others were spread around the huge house, they were anticipating something, and my heart was thudding continuously for what could be it."What the hell is going on?!" Fenris exclaimed, and finally, he caught the soldiers' attention."We saw tracks of Dark Summoners leading to this place—""I know, but did you see them? How the hell did they get here without anyone sensing them?"Strange. Even I didn't sense the unwelcomed scent of humanoid wolves. "Alpha Fenris, I checked Vilka in her room, but she isn't there." A maid approached him."What?! What does she have to do with any of this? Are you sure she didn't sleep in her own house?"The mai
I swallowed deeply, convincing myself they were nothing but friends just like me and Nazarus — come on!"Yes, my cousins are regaining their strengths, thankfully."I cleared my throat before I stood properly and composed myself. My elbows hit some leaves, and I immediately noticed how quickly their eyes turned into me. "Oh, Kira!" Atasha chuckled awkwardly. "My cousins would want to give you and your mother this." She handed me two necklaces with a fang pendant."Really?" I still couldn't figure out how to interact with her. I never wanted to be fake or plastic or whatever they call it. "Yes, they've been planning to come here, but they are still regenerating their strengths — maybe next week they could thank you personally.""Oh, that's nice." I grabbed the necklaces from her soft hand. "Tell your cousins not to worry, and we appreciate their gifts and their gratitude." I glanced at Fenris, and he slightly smiled at me. My lips just thinned.I wanted to ask what they were talking
We arrived in the woods right on time while the Sun was about to rise. Good thing, the soldiers arrived earlier than us. They seemed responsible and dedicated to their tasks. We stayed near the river for a couple of hours. Fenris had been discussing something with the soldiers. They were plotting a plan while I was on the lookout for the busy group. Surprisingly, no Dark Summoners attempted to attack us. I was quite anticipating the action now, but perhaps it really was better for them not to attack or anything. The damage they could cause was too much, for sure.Since we saw no sign of attack, Fenris and I decided to go back to the mansion. He instructed the leader to inform us once anything unfortunate occurred. While we walked our way back to our house, the soldiers stayed in the woods as it was one of their duty — to guard and observe the forest.The next day was a really bad day for me. I work up without Fenris on my side. Since my body was so heavy and even my eyes, I didn't no
Nazarus just shrugged and started walking to the exit of the mansion. He looked back at me and gestured to me to follow him. I rolled my eyes before walking. I watched Nazarus back while walking. It was only at that time I noticed how neat and elegant he walked. Every step of him was really careful — I laughed at the thought of why we waste our time walking if we could just teleport. Fenris's deep gaze met mine when we reached the gate. "What did you do?* His brows crossed at Nazarus.I snaked my arm over Fenris' arm. "Where are we going?" I asked.Fenris remained to stare at Naz. Naz laughed and shook his head. "Chill! I went to the restroom and walked past her in the living room.""Where are we going, Fenris?" I asked again.Fenris finally looked at me. "You'll see."I rolled my eyes before looking at Nazarus. "Where are we going, Naz?""You'll see." He mocked Fenris.Fuck them!I crossed my arms over my chest and just followed them. We walked for a few minutes until we reached M
Slowly, the estranged man opened his eyes and quickly met mine. "You're gonna die… you're all going to die…." His huge black pupils trembled on my chest. I took a deep breath as my chest tightened.Fenris kicked the man before he stepped on his chest. "Don't listen to him." He tightened the grip of his feet on the man's chest, stiffening the Dark Summoners' human body."What do you want from us, huh?!"The man smiled strangely and slowly, he chuckled like a devil. "You're all gonna die…." He breathed out before coughing after Fenris squeezed his chest more with his feet."Fuck you! You're the one who's going to die today." Fenris grabbed his dagger and sliced the Dark Summoner's head off. I flinched and stepped back as the blood splashed everywhere. I covered my mouth. I was used to seeing brutality, but I couldn't still stop to be shocked at times."Why did you kill him? We could get information—""Do you think he will say something?" Fenris cut me off. "Think of him as Claude. He wi
Fenris raised his right brow. "You're talking about me?" "Oh, it's not important." Nazarus shrugged his hand. "Don't think too much about it."My lips thinned when Fenris glared at me. "What?" I arched a brow. "I just told him you don't like plucking the flowers in the garden."Fenris looked at the flower in my hand. I thought he was going to get it to me, but he just turned his gaze back at Fenris."What it is with the flowers that you're always giving to my wife, huh?"Nazarus raised both of his hands as if surrendering. "Just a nice gesture, calm down.""Nice gesture." Fenris scoffed. "Bullshit.""Fenris." I cleared my throat."Anyway, Fenris," Nazarus uttered. "It's perfect timing that you're here. I have to discuss something with you."Fenris' brows crossed, and so mine."About what?"Nazarus glanced at the mansion. "Can we talk inside?""Why? Can't you discuss that here?" Fenris sounded more disgusted yet intrigued.Naz looked around. "You won't wanna risk someone hearing our
