~CODY~

"The crown prince is gay!" The words resounded in my head over and over until I felt something shaking me back to reality. It was Caden who was kneeling by my side.

"Say something and stop acting like a coward!" he yelled angrily at me and then hit me in the face. My eyes widened, and I looked toward him. "I have already called Father, and he already sent the royal guards here."

I blinked but didn't say anything. I looked around until my eyes landed on Rain, who was standing, covering his face with his hands. Our eyes met, and he smiled at me. Why the hell was he smiling? Our secrets were revealed, and he was smiling, acting like everything was perfect when we both knew that it wasn't.

"So the crown prince is gay! I can't believe that," one of the students commented, whispering, but I could still hear her.

"No wonder he never had a girlfriend. This is his real identity," another one commented.

"Who would have thought that the two best friends are gays?" Another student comment

    ~Rain~ "The council of elders is already aware of the situation, and they've started asking questions," Cara paused, lifting her gaze from her phone. "That's not all. Numerous unfavorable comments are circulating about both of you." she paused and then Continued. "I will..." "Now is not the time to announce the comments. We already know they won't be positive, so there's no reason for you to say anything," I interjected. I rubbed my hands together anxiously, lowering my head, wondering how we had been discovered despite being extra careful. My parents would undoubtedly be disappointed, and the alpha king would be furious that I had betrayed his trust and failed to protect the prince, as he had ordered. Why couldn't we just be open about who we were and show that we, too, were individuals with feelings? It was infuriating to know that the world wouldn't accept us. With everything exposed, there was a high chance the alpha king would order Cody and me to be separated. The thought of

    ~CODY~"I won't read this!" I exclaimed angrily at the piece of paper my father handed me for the press conference he had arranged. I couldn't bring myself to say the words written on it. It was just too much."You will do it!" my father insisted, thrusting the paper into my hand. "This is your duty as the crown prince of Salvador, and you will do exactly as I've told you."I shook my head firmly. "I can't deny that I was the one in the audio, letting Rain take the fall for it. I can't do it," I refused, tossing the paper to the ground. "I'm going to come clean to everyone and, if possible, leave the realm. I could go to Uncle Marcus in the human realm and live there."My father scoffed and angrily grabbed my shoulder. "Are you even listening to yourself?" he yelled. "Do you know what the world would write about you? Have you checked the news to see what everyone is saying about you and Rain? I'm trying everything to ensure that both of you won't have to suffer from the aftermath of a

    ~CODY~The insistent pounding in my head jolted me awake from a restless slumber. Each throb felt like a solo drum performance, echoing through my skull. As I tried to make sense of it, the curtain opened, welcoming the morning light into my room. I groaned, rubbing my eyes, and as they fluttered open, the realization hit me—I was back in my room at the royal home.Then, as if my head wasn't already protesting enough, Caden's voice cut through the haze. "Cody! Time to rise and shine! College is calling, and we can't miss the start of this semester."At the mention of college, I bolted upright, memories flooding back—the revelation about Rain, the decisions made, and then the blackout. Gasping, I rose from the bed."Rain," I murmured, hoping my reset had worked. Rushing to my desk, I rifled through photos, my heart racing. Closing my eyes, I wished fervently for everything to have changed when I opened them.Among the frozen snapshots of birthdays and family gatherings, there was no tr

    ~CODY~"Rain and you have been sworn enemies since high school," Caden explained. "Enemies?" I couldn't believe it. "How are we enemies? I thought we were friends."Caden chuckled as we entered the red dormitory. I scanned the lobby for Lara, but another man greeted me. "Welcome, Your Highness," he bowed."Thank you, Michael," I replied, glancing at his name tag. Inside the elevator with Caden, Cara, and Amara, I continued, "So, Rain and I are enemies?""What's your obsession with Rain?" Caden's arms folded as he questioned me. "You warned us never to talk about him, and now you're bringing him up. What's going on, dear brother? Have you hit your head or something? This isn't like you."I furrowed my brow and scratched the back of my head, attempting to conjure up a plausible explanation. "I... I just want to understand why I had so much animosity toward him."As the elevator doors opened, Cara cleared her throat, stepping out with us. "It's because of Amara. You two were at odds beca

    ~RAIN~I scowled as I locked eyes with him, a mischievous grin creeping onto my face, fully aware that he'd stumbled into my trap unknowingly."Well, well, what a delightful surprise to find myself in your room," I muttered, a hint of sarcasm lacing my words. Dragging my luggage inside, I scanned the room. Just as I'd hoped, there was only one bed—a perfect element for my vengeance.Cody stuttered, his gaze fixed on me with an unfamiliar mix of emotions. Was it regret for everything he'd put me through? I couldn't quite decipher it."I'm rather surprised to find myself here. It's not where I should be," I remarked, strolling into the bathroom and turning on the shower. The gushing water brought a satisfying smile to my lips, unlike the shared arrangements back in the blue dormitory."Why are you here?" he blurted out as I returned to the room. "You shouldn't be here. I need to know why you've suddenly shown up."I shrugged, returned to my luggage near the entrance, and began unpacking

    ~CODY~When he returned to bed, I shifted to the other side without bothering to face him. There was no apology from him; instead, he began blaring music and singing along. The noise became unbearable, prompting me to cover my ears with a pillow, though his voice still managed to infiltrate my thoughts, persisting despite my efforts to block it out."What are we...?" His scream pierced the air as he pounded the bed.This was not the outcome I had hoped for when I saved his life. I never anticipated that he would transform to the extent of raising a hand against me. This wasn't the Rain I had envisioned. I wished I could turn back time, spend a fleeting moment with Rain, and release the worry that had consumed me about his fate."It was too late for regret. I had already made up my mind, and now, I have to suffer for it, but the question was when it would end. While pondering that, I drifted into sleep. The next awakening greeted me with an empty, cold bed. I had expected him to be in

    ~CODY~"He threw the first punch at me! He's always had this hate towards me since we were kids, and I can't even understand why."Rain explained to the lecturer, pointing at me.I scoffed, wiping the blood off my face with my hand, then turned to face him. "You're despicable," I spat angrily, sighing. "You're the one who wrote this crap on my face, and as if that wasn't enough, you planted a bag filled with pig's blood that fell on me. It's all because of you!"The lecturer glanced at the royal guard, then back at me. "The situation's getting crazy now, as the alpha king wants you to return to the royal realm," he announced.I frowned, rubbing my hair. "Why should I go home when he should be the one punished, not me!" I screamed, pointing at Rain.He wasn't my rain because the Rain I know would never do something as cruel as what he did to me. If this is what regret feels like, then I truly regret ever saving his life.Suddenly, Rain laughed, and I faced him, wondering why. "And why a

    ~CODY~"A life for a life?" I gasped, my eyes widening in shock. Kao had lied to me, telling me that if I changed Rain’s destiny, I wouldn’t have to worry about anything else except suffering. But it was all a lie. He had lied to me while aiming for my life."That is…" I tried to deny its possibility, but Rain only laughed. "There is no way I can…" Before I could finish, I coughed again, struggling to breathe as I held my chest. My vision turned hazy, barely making out Rain’s calculated steps toward me on the marble floor.Crouching before me, Rain stretched his hand toward my face. "You think you’re all that, believing the word of someone from the in-between! You think you can escape me, right?" he taunted.When my vision cleared, Rain’s face had a menacing glare. "You must be so stupid to think that was Kao!" he laughed."The person I saw in the between was not Kao?" I asked, sounding shocked.Rain laughed hysterically, his finger tracing down from my forehead to my chin. "You must

    RainTwo years later,I frowned as I checked the watch in my hand for the time and hissed again. The plane should have landed, but it hadn't, which made me question why I had arrived two hours earlier. I had come when the sun was about to set, and now, it was dark, yet the plane showed no sign of landing.I shook my legs, stood up, and rubbed my hand on my forehead. I couldn't concentrate and only think about seeing him again after two months. That was the longest we had been away. He had gone on a royal prince's assignment, even though he was not the crown prince anymore. I should have gone with him, but I stayed back to finish some school projects, leading to our separation for two long months.I missed him so much, and even though we did video calls, chatted, and had phone calls, I still couldn't stop thinking about him, knowing that I was going to bed alone without his warm hands around my waist. Today was his birthday, and I had planned a massive surprise for him, which he would

    ~Cody~ Three weeks later,"Are you ready?" he asked, wrapping his arms around my waist."I've been waiting for this day all my life, and I'm happy that finally, I am going to see it happen with you." I turned around to face him and kissed him on the lips. The kiss was short, and I soon turned back to face the mirror. "What do you think the world will think about us, Rain?" I rubbed my face and adjusted my tie as I stared at myself in the mirror. This was it. I had made the decision, and there was no turning back. I made the decision myself when we arrived from the in-between because it was my decision, and I would never regret it.Today was the day I would reveal myself to the world, not just myself. I was also showing my mate for everyone to see."Everyone must accept us for what we are, Cody, and if they don't, we can always run away without caring about what anyone thinks. This is our time, and now that both our parents have agreed to it, who else can stop us from becoming what we

    ~Rain~As I released the arrow, my eyes followed it anxiously as it soared toward the source of the voice. The voice unleashed a scream, accompanied by growling, and a bright light emerged, revealing Gasin.Having envisioned Gasin as an ugly creature, I was surprised to find a beautiful red-haired woman. The only features distinguishing her as a goddess were a mark on her forehead and six fingers. This unique trait instilled a sense of fear in me, uncertain of what might unfold."You found the arrow of light!" she growled, placing her hand on the arrow in her heart. "You stupid boy!" Gasin pointed toward me, and the monstrous creatures ran from behind the Alpha King and Luna Queen, advancing on me.In the chaos, one of the creatures slashed across my chest, causing me to groan in pain. Before I could recover, another struck my back, forcing me to drop the bow from my hand."Cody!" I heard my name shouted. "What the hell are you doing!" Cody screamed. "Don't hurt him, please. He didn't

    ~Cody~I smiled brightly when I saw him heading towards me. He was here, which means he passed the test with me. ''Rain!" I shouted his name and rushed to hug him as soon as our eyes met. "I am glad we both made it," I chuckled and kissed his forehead. "I had thought that maybe something bad had happened, but here you are, smiling brightly at me. I am happy that we were able to work it out."Rain smiled and embraced me warmly, not letting go. "I had thought that something had happened to you, but I am happy that you are here, and there is nothing wrong with you," he muttered."Me too," I told him and sighed.A bright light suddenly appeared, breaking us apart, and from the bright light appeared a man dressed in a black robe with red patterns. The man's silver hair shone brightly as he approached us, carrying a powerful aura to behold."You both have succeeded, and I am proud of you," he said, bursting into laughter. "In all the years of being a master here, you are the first that woul

It's like he was separated from me; no one needed to tell me that the test of desires had started.‘’You are weak!’’ A voice sounded behind me as I stood amid the diamonds, not taking another step because I had no idea where I was. ‘’Nobody wants you and Rain to be together. You are only a liability to him, and the sooner you realize this, the better.’’ The voice shouted, his voice resounding in the room.‘’Who are you?’’ I demanded to know the voice that sounded menacing and powerful enough to intimidate me. ‘’I won’t ask you again, who the hell are you!’’ I screamed back at the voice.‘’This is why you and Rain can never be together,’’ Caden shouted as he appeared before me. ‘’You are too weak, unable to defend the kingdom, and you caused the disappearance of our parents. Everything that is happening is all because of you. This is your fault

    ~Rain~ Finally, we were there, and it was the last phase, meaning that we would face Gasin sooner or later once we got what we wanted. That meant it would be the end of her. She wouldn’t bother us any longer, and everyone would be freed from her cruel rule. It also meant I could be together with Cody again without worrying about what others think about us."Are you ready?" I asked him. "This is the last place, and here, anything might happen. Promise me that you will return to me?" I asked, and he nodded in response, grabbing my shirt collar and pulling me into his arms."You also promised me that everything would be fine and you wouldn’t die in there?"I nodded in response, and he leaned in, kissing me quickly. I kissed him back, cut short by Teo, who had appeared from nowhere behind us. "I believed that you two are already done with your lovey-dovey moments," he laughed, and then his tone suddenly changed. "You also need to know that even though you might have promised yourself to

    ~CODY~ My eyes widened in shock as I watched him fall. ‘’Rain!’’ I shouted his name. It shouldn’t have to end this way, I thought. He didn’t have to sacrifice his life because of me, and now, he expected that I would be happy that he was gone. I could feel the rage building inside of me. It was just like the heat emanating from the boiling fire. I was angry at myself; it wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t fallen. ‘’Everything is because of me!’’ I screamed and hit my chest repeatedly. ‘’if only I had tried my best to convince him then…..’’ I let out another scream as I placed my hand on the ground, tears flooding my eyes. How was I even supposed to live without him by my side? He was selfish, that I believed. He wouldn’t have left me alone and fell to the fire if he were not selfish. He was a selfish man who only thought of himself and not others. If he was not selfish, he should have let me go instead; now, he was gone. ‘’Rain!’’ I leaned against the edge of the step and

    ~Rain~ ‘’watch where you put your feet!’’ I shouted to Cody as we started climbing the valley. It was hard even to walk perfectly because the steps were not straight, and that was not all; it was dark, and the only glint of light we could rely on was the light that had penetrated one of the holes in the valley's walls. It was challenging to walk perfectly, and holding onto the wall was our only support. ‘’soon, we will reach the other side,’’ Cody assured me and laughed. ‘’And then, we will return with the sword, and it will spell the end for Gasin.’’ I should have been laughing alongside him, but I didn’t find the urge to laugh because I thought about many things that could go wrong. I feared something dangerous might happen to us In the valley because Teo had mentioned something about a boiling valley, but I had not seen anything related. I was starting to get worried about what could go wrong. ‘’are you alright? You are not…..ah!’’ he screamed as he tripped and fell.

    ~Cody~ Countless hours of walking had left me exhausted and hungry, and despite the weariness, our limited time in the realm compelled me to push forward. I couldn't bear to be responsible for wasting precious time, especially knowing Rain would worry. As my legs trembled, they eventually gave way, and I found myself on the ground. "Cody!" Rain rushed over; concern etched across his face. "What's happening? Are you alright?" Gasping for breath, sweat streaming down my face, I shook my head. "I'm not doing well," I confessed, sighing heavily. "I..." Pausing, I noticed the worry in Rain's eyes. "I don't want to impede our progress, and now..." "Mortals," Teo interjected. "I wouldn't blame you if you're getting tired. After all, this is not your home. Don't worry; I'll get you something to eat, and there's a stream down there." He pointed in the right direction. "You can go there and drink some water. I'll fetch food for both of you." With that, he flew away. "Can you walk?
