“So how many children do you want?” I asked. “Maybe two or three. I want at least a girl and a boy.” I stroked Helena’s hair and smiled. “I’m sure our children will be beautiful and handsome.” “Yes.” My mind was wandering, though, since I that it might be only wishful thinking to have our babies, even only a baby. Yet I didn’t want to dampen my spirit and Helena’s joy. I then mindlessly stroked her hair. “I truly love your hair’s smell.” “It’s just rose fragrance shampoo. You must love the rose smell.” “That and combined with your natural fragrance too.” I inhaled and grinned. It affected me so fast. Later, I whispered, “It makes me turn on immediately.” Helena gasped and hit my chest playfully. “Ethan!” “Hey, I’m telling you the truth anyway.” “But still, telling it like that sounds too scandalous.” I laughed out loud until my head bent back a bit. “My shy mate.” I grinned and stared at Helena. “I wonder how long it will take until you don’t blush anymore when I tease you w
I lifted my glass to my lips and then sipped the drink. “I don’t know how long I will leave since it is a complicated business. Yet, if I can finish the matter, I promise to ask Freya’s permission to marry you as soon as possible.” I placed the glass back on the table. Then reaching my hand to hold Helena’s hand, I asked, “Will you wait for me, darling?” “Yes, I will.” She raised my hand to her lips and kissed it. “As Ernie told me, it binds our souls together after marking. Though I don’t know much about your custom, I believe you are my spouse after the marking. I can feel it so strongly in my heart.” I tenderly smiled as I stared at Helena. “I’m so happy that you accept my world’s custom. One day, I’ll tell you more about it.” “Yes.” Then no more talking anymore as we drank our beverages. Helena stroked her temple. “What’s wrong?” “My head is a bit dizzy because of the wine. I drank too much.” “I’ll remember that.” Then I swept Helena into my chest. “I truly miss you.” “I mi
~ Helena ~ Ethan grinned and kissed my lips. “I love it, darling. Thank you. I don’t expect you to do that.” I shrugged. “Since it seems I’m the only one who gets pleasure in mating, I love it when I can give you pleasure too.” “It’s okay. I love to pleasure you.” He kissed my forehead. “I like it better when both of us enjoy it.” Then I frowned. “What? Something is bothering you?” “I need to wash my hands first. Your liquid is still in my hands.” Ethan laughed out loud. “Yes, darling. Come back here quickly.” I walked to the bathroom and washed my hands until they were clean. Then I dried both hands and walked back to the bedroom. My body still hummed because of the pleasure earlier. Ethan was waiting for me. When he saw me return, Ethan pulled me into his embrace. He kissed my forehead again. “Thank you for pleasuring me, darling.” “My pleasure. I have a question, though.” “Just ask.” “Is that how it works? I mean, can’t we have the pleasures simultaneously?” Ethan scra
Ethan just smiled, though his smile was a bit naughty. “Anything you want, my beautiful one.” He pulled the bathtub drain stopper and then carried me to the shower. He turned on the shower and set it to the coldest. When the water splashed on our bodies, I squealed. “It’s freezing!” But then Ethan surprised me by kneeling, opening my thighs wide, and stroking my inner thighs sensually with his finger. Since my knees were getting weaker, I screamed, “Ethan! I’m falling.” Without waiting further, Ethan grabbed my waist with both hands, stopping me from falling. Then he stuck his tongue into my cleft. Again, the icy water and the warm tongue gave me a huge sensation until I screamed again. Later, Ethan stroked his tongue in circular motions, then pulled in and out faster until finally, I cried again and laid my head on Ethan’s shoulders. Ethan carried and lifted me to the chair in front of the wash table. He picked towels, wrapping one to his waist and using another to dry my b
“Uh, well, you see, we misunderstood what we wanted in the relationship,” Kenneth said. “I thought I was still young, and it wasn’t the right time to get into a more serious one. I admit I made a terrible mistake by ending the relationship. Yet as people say, you only realize the preciousness when you lose it. Well, it’s what happened to me.” “Really?” I raised my eyebrows. “Yes, Mrs. Ross. I’m an idiot who can’t see how precious Helena was until I lost her.” I didn’t like Kenneth from the first time I met him. I disliked him more after knowing he did nothing to save Helena when she drowned in the river. After talking with Kenneth for a few minutes, I wondered how to get rid of him soon. So I finally decided to tell Kenneth about Ethan. “You know, Helena is an adult. I won’t interfere with her personal affair. About the heart matter, she has chosen someone else. Ethan saved Helena when she was drowning. They build the relationship well.” I stared at Kenneth with a thin smile. “Mayb
~ Helena ~ I read my mother’s message. I wondered if something had happened at home since my mom rarely texted me. “I need to call my mother. I’ll be right back,” I said to Stacy. “Sure. No worries.” Then I walked to the garden. After taking a seat, I called to my mother, “Mom, what happened?” “Oh, sweetheart, it’s bad!” “What happened? Are you okay?” “I’m okay. I’m just furious.” My mom blew some air. “Kenneth just came here.” “Kenneth? What did he want?” “He asked me to persuade you to come back to him.” “Never! I haven’t told you before, but he cheated on me with another woman, Mom!” I couldn’t believe what I heard. What a nerve for him to come and persuade my mom! “Yes, I concluded it later. When I asked Kenneth why you two broke up, he said he wasn’t ready yet for a serious relationship. But in the end, he showed his real motive. Money!” My mom said. I closed my eyes. I didn’t want to tell my mother the details because I didn’t want to trouble her. Yet it was Kenneth
I said nothing for a while, trying to remember what had happened the first time. Later, I shook my head. “No, he didn’t release his seeds at all.” “How come?” I scratched my head. “Wait, I’m confused. Should man release their seeds when they have sex?” “Normally. A man can delay it to give the partner more pleasure, or if they have any physical or mental disease.” “Oh, but Ethan can do that. I mean, ejaculating his seeds the last time. So, he seems perfectly healthy to me.” My face was hot. “Sorry, I may sound so stupid. Yet it’s my first time, and I don’t know anything.” Stacy shook her head. “It’s okay. I have a better idea.” Later, she called our co-worker, “We need to check something in the audio room. Can you wait here for ten to fifteen minutes?” “Sure, no problem, Stacy,” the co-worker said. “Thanks!” She said to our co-worker. “Let’s go!” Stacy grabbed my hand. We walked to the audio room. After typing ‘sex education’ to find the DVD she wanted, Stacy snapped a pictur
After taking a shower and having dinner, I was fresher and much better with a full tummy. I knocked on my mother’s room. She wasn’t there when I checked inside. “Mom? Where are you?” I searched her elsewhere and finally, I found her in our small garden. “Oh, you are here.” “Here, sit here, sweetheart.” My mother patted the chair next to her. After I sat, we said nothing for a while. Instead, we enjoyed the comfort of the garden surrounding us. “Mom, it’s about Ethan that I want to talk with you.” “Sure, I’m listening,” my mother said. “Well, Ethan and I had been through a certain ritual in his community that bound us together. He said it was like a marriage for us, Mom.” “Oh, I see. No wonder Ethan asked for your hand in marriage.” “Yes.” I nodded. “Because in his world, I’m his wife already. But he wanted to ensure that I’m his wife too in our world.” “I see. Ethan is a good man, then.” I smiled a little. “I’m glad that you aren’t mad at him.” “No, why should I? I like Et
I woke up feeling weird since there was something unusual. I turned my body, but a firm hand wrapped around my stomach. It tickled my waist and then moved downward. I opened my eyes only to see Ethan grin. “Good morning, love. How are your feelings right now?” he asked. “Good morning, love. I feel weird.” “Weird?” He wrinkled his forehead. “Ache?” “A bit, but I don’t know. I feel something else.” He kissed my lips and whispered, “Maybe I can cure you by pouring my seeds again. What do you think?” I giggled and nodded. “Yes, sir. I love it when you poured your seeds. Give me more, please?” “Yes, madam, right away.” Ethan then, without warning, touched my womanhood. “You are already ready, darling.” He then pushed his manhood inside and touched until I moaned. “Don’t stop!” “Yes, ma’am.” He grinned, but then he concentrated on giving me pleasure by pounding hard into me. I tightened my legs around his waist and clenched my womanhood until it squeezed his shaft. He growle
We hugged and shook hands with everyone. Then my mom approached me and said, “Now, I will leave. Ethan, Helena, please visit me frequently.” She smiled but then burst into tears. “I’ve missed you already, sweetheart.” I kissed my mom’s cheek. “Mom, I promise to visit you often until you may be bored with me.” She laughed and shook her head. “No chance I will be bored of you, sweetie. I’ll love to see you around. Take care.” Ethan hugged my mom. “Mom, thank you for coming. Let Red send you home.” “Yes, Son. Thank you.” Later, Red came and nodded at Ethan and me. “Congratulations! Enjoy your wedding night. I’ll try to have everyone leave the villa soon.” Ethan and Red exchanged a knowing look and grin, then Ethan nodded. “Thanks, Red. I know I can always count on you.” “Always!” Then he nodded at my mom. “Mrs. Ross, shall we go now?” Then I hugged Stacy. “Thank you for coming and being my bride’s maid.” “I’m so happy for you.” Then she shook hands with Ethan too, but Ethan
Red drove the car to the villa. It was crowded, so it took time to get there. Then Red opened the door for my mother and me. When I stood to see the villa. It stunned me to see how beautiful the villa was. Colorful roses decorated the path to the door. The rose fragrance filled the air. Later, Stacy opened the door. She wore a white dress too. “Oh, Helena! Look at you! You are gorgeous!” she shouted. I smiled. “So are you! Did you buy it for my wedding?” She nodded. “Yes, because you know me. I can’t stand last-minute shopping. Now, I’m glad I bought it. How about you?” “It’s my mom’s doing.” I glanced at my mother. “She bought it for me as a wedding present. Who would guess it came at the perfect time? So I can wear it tonight.” “Oh, Freya, it’s a lovely dress indeed!” Stacy said. My mother smiled and hugged Stacy. “Thank you for coming tonight.” “I won’t miss Helena’s wedding. I’m her bride’s maid.” Then someone coughed. When we turned around, Ethan stood and then waited f
My mother pulled my hand, and we went to her room. She opened the cupboard and took two beautiful white dresses. “Please try these, sweetie. I hope you wear the dress for your wedding tonight if you find anything you like.” I burst into tears since both dresses were gorgeous. “Oh, Mom! How can you have such beautiful dresses?” “When I told you about the three months of waiting, I bought them. Since I thought maybe I could give them as a wedding present for you.” “It’s perfect! I can’t think of a better dress than these two.” I wept and laughed. My mom was amazing! How could she do this for me? “Don’t cry! We have no time to prepare you to be a breathtaking bride. So smile!” I giggled and wiped my tears. “Yes, Mom.” Then I tried the first dress that had laces and sparkles. The dress fitted my body well. Later, I showed it to my mom. She nodded. “Try the second one.” When I wore the second dress, I knew it was perfect. The dress was simple with a few ruffles on the short arms
Ethan stood and then held my hand. “Yes, I think the purpose of this meeting is fulfilled. Oh, okay, the explanation of Constantine and Victoria’s death. It was an accident. I had never intended to kill Constantine. No matter what, he was my half-brother.” I nodded and supported Ethan by telling what happened. “About the death of Victoria, she died because she tried to protect Constantine. It’s because of love.” I took a deep breath. “At that time, Constantine attacked Ethan when he had already said, ‘Time-out.’ Then I pushed Ethan and instinctively attacked Constantine with the fog. Victoria ran and shielded Constantine.” I bit my lower lip, recalling the moment Victoria died. “Then when Constantine tried to stab my back. Ethan protected me and stabbed Constantine in the process.” I looked around. “It’s a self-defense.” The Elders didn’t say anything afterward. “Soif you all are worried about revenge or attack from the Fire Shadow Pack or the vampires, please know we are not the o
~ Ethan ~ We walked outside the castle, and I teleported us back to my villa. I kissed Helena’s lips and said, “I am sorry.” “For what?” “I should protect you, but I wasn’t there for you.” She shook her head. “No, don’t blame yourself. I have many things I wanted to tell you.” “Oh?” But then, I remembered Freya. “You need to call your mother now. She must be worried.” “Yes, you are right.” But then, Helena glanced at me. “Oh, my phone is still at the castle.” I nodded. “I’ll ask Red to take it. Where is it?” “The last time the maid brought it to me.” “Okay.” Then I opened the mind link. ‘Red, are you still in the castle?’ ‘Yes, Alpha. Why?’ ‘Can you bring Helena’s phone back here—the villa?’ ‘Sure!’ ‘Thanks, Red.’ ‘Anytime, Alpha.’ Then I stroked Helena’s hair. “Red will bring your phone here. Use my phone to call your mother instead of waiting for Red. He may need a while. Freya was nearly hysterical when she called me.” She nodded. “Yes, please.” I picked up my ph
Meanwhile, Ethan could push Constantine to the corner. Constantine was bleeding all over. His movement was slower and slower. Unfortunately, Ethan was wounded too, but he was in much better condition than Constantine. But then Constantine shape-shifted back into the human form. “Time-out!” He gestured his hand, showing the T-shape. Then he walked to the side, wearing his clothes back. Ethan also changed himself back to human, gathered his clothes, and dressed up again. I ran to Ethan and hugged him. “Ethan! You came for me!” I cried and smiled simultaneously. “Of course, my love. Freya was worried so much about you.” He glanced at Constantine, who sat on the floor. “Let’s go home.” I nodded. Victoria approached Constantine. But then, he ignored her when she wanted to wipe his wound, even turning his body away from her. Victoria’s face was disappointed and gloomy. I could feel how hurt Victoria was right now. “Can we bring Victoria with us? Can she stay at your villa or in our pa
Constantine laughed out loud. “Consequence? As the descendant of the former Duke Firebury, I have the right to claim Helena.” Ethan frowned to hear that. “What do you mean?” “What a pity you don’t know the most important thing.” Constantine laughed again. “But then, the mighty duke may be too busy to know the tiny thing, though crucial.” “What are you talking about?” Meanwhile, Red entered the room. “Luna, let’s get out of here.” “Red, you are here too. My head hurts, and I can’t see clearly.” “Maybe Lord Constantine drugged you again.” I gasped. The water that the maid sent me was the only way how he drugged me. “The maid,” I said, shaking my head. Then I suddenly remembered my power. ‘Fog, heal me.’ In a second, the fog surrounded me, and then, in another second, my head was alright. My eyes finally could see clearly as before. “Do you want a duel until death?” Constantine asked. I shook my head. “He tricked me!” “What happened?” Victoria asked me as she patted my hand
I gasped as Constantine carried me to my bed and laid me there. “You may be more comfortable here. So we will sleep here tonight, my darling.” “Let me go!” I screamed. “Let me go! Don’t touch me!” “Helena, shh! I won’t hurt you. I will be gentle with you.” Then he kissed my forehead. “See? Nothing you need to be afraid of.” “You have already had Victoria. Please, let me go!” I pleaded with him. He shook his head and stroked my hair. “I only have you now. I have sent Victoria away.” “What?! Why?” “Because she is a hindrance for me. If I let her stay here, we can’t spend the time calmly.” He kissed my cheek. “Helena, now you are the only one for me. I promise I will marry you tomorrow. So stop fighting me! It won’t hurt if you let me have you.” I shook my head. “I’m not yours. I’m Ethan’s.” “Really? Then where is he right now?” He chuckled as he touched my hair. “Why are you here instead of on his bed?” Then Constantine touched my neck lightly. “I will treasure you, cherish you
