Elizabeth “It’s the truth!” “Or maybe you are making that up because you want to go outside the Dark Forest and go back to your mortal kingdom!” he said. “Because this is all about it, right? You missed those stupid mortals who just made your life miserable and different from here with me?” And at that moment, just by looking into Diego’s eyes, I saw the change. That he was not the Diego I once knew. The Diego who… was quiet, calm, and obsessed with me. After he became the alpha of the pack, even if I want to defend him, he was slipping away. “You don’t believe me,” I said, my voice hoarse, but I refused to let go of the tears from my eyes. “I don’t, because I am telling you. Aurora was with me!” “Then who was I within the Dark Forest, right? Why do I have a damn wound on my head, right? They hurt me, Diego! She hurt me!” “Oh, my bloody hell! Don’t you understand the words that she was with me?” he retorted. “Just admit that you are lying so you can come again to the kingdom! G
Elizabeth It seems like his interest has vanished since he got his ambition. And I've heard men like Diego who are only driven by their necessity for women, manipulating them until they can get what they want. I still hope he is beyond men like that, because I won't hesitate to leave him, no matter how much I love him. I slowly went in front of him with my hands behind me. He watched me going to him with dead eyes and a fake small smile on his lips. Even though I don’t admit it, it was breaking my heart completely. What had happened to us? What went wrong? “We are going for a hunt in daylight to guard the whole Dark Forest. It seems like the other pack from the other side is going for an attack against the habitat,” he informed me and lifted his right hand so he can caress my cheek. “That is why before dusk, I want you here in the center of cycle. I would need you.” You have always needed me. And I have always thought that you need me because you love me. Why do
Elizabeth I grabbed it and saw that it was two meters. Looking new, huh? I furrowed my eyebrows and remembered the fairytales that I have read when I was still a kid. Princes ride with horses. Wolves ran with their claws. Witches control their brooms. “Hmmm,” I hummed and used my telekinesis ability to make the broom fly. At first, I could not make it. It required focus and discipline. I would close my eyes, then I would hear it drop. Ugh, I still can’t control my powers properly. And I bragged to the flyers a while ago that they should not underestimate me! Well, at least they died. Okay. Elizabeth, try again. You are a witch. You are the navigator of the prophecy. And just like what the flyer told you, you are destined to be the witch queen. Do not prove it to them. Prove it to yourself. For the nth time of trying, I was able to slowly lift the broom up. I smiled when I stopped controlling it with my hands; only my mind. I mounted on it, a little bit comf
Elizabeth I secretly landed on the balcony where she was. Thankfully, she is alone and there were no handmaids around her. I placed the broom against a partition before slowly walking toward her with a deadpan expression. “Flowers are known to be a symbol of beauty and power,” she suddenly muttered, making me stop on my walk. “But like a beautiful rose, we may be beautiful but we are also dangerous. We can hurt people with what we have, like thorns of a rose, but thorns can also protect us from the harm of the world.” “You know that I am going to be here, Your Majesty,” I said and smiled a little. “I wonder how many things you are going to say to me, Queen Jonah… or shall I say, Witch Queen Jenova?” She did not speak. Instead, she picked one strand of rose. The beautiful face was f the queen revealed in front of me, and her porcelain skin was glowing as ever. Her accessories were sparkling due to the light from the sun, and she looked expensive with her huge and elegan
Elizabeth “Are you okay, Elizabeth?” I heard Roy beside me ask me as my solemn gaze was looking at the fire burning in front of me. I have returned to the circle of the habitat and a tusk is forthcoming when my husband comes back home. “Yes,” I answered even if it is a lie, and heaved a sigh deeply. “I am sure Diego is not mad at you anymore if that is what you are thinking.” “Hmmm, yeah. I know.” But I am not thinking about what happened yesterday. It might sound like a minor argument because I was stubborn, but it only revealed Diego’s colors --- a needy werewolf who throws away anything or anyone after utilization. I even doubt if he has feelings. Were the manipulations he did making me fall for him? Or maybe it was so stupid of me for falling in love with him when it was too late to know that he is lying to me? “There they are,” Roy announced beside me and pointed his finger in front of me. "Thank goodness they won the battle. Some of the werewolves informed me that they ha
Elizabeth His lips went to my nose until he reached to my lips. At first, he provided me soft kisses at the corners of my mouth until I could feel his tongue trying to get ahold of mine inside. I let him and reciprocated by moving my mouth and tongue, pleasing him. While busy kissing me, his hands crawled inside my dress, and felt them squeezing my boobs. When we first time did this, I was embarrassed by him touching me, but he would always assure me that this is how we make love. Oh, please. He can just tell the truth that he needs my body as arousal. I was bitter thinking of that, so I pushed him to the bed and abruptly took off my dress. I mounted on him and cupped his cheeks to aggressively on his lips. We helped each other to take off his clothes until we are both naked. I started sucking the skin of his face, his neck, and his chest. “Oh, Elizabeth…” he groaned and took a handful of my hair. While I was licking and kissing his nipple, I was grinding my entrance against his
Elizabeth The stars were bright and the moon was watching me while flying. I wistfully watched them, loneliness creeping inside me. “A cup of tea would help you calm down tonight,” Queen Jonah said as she placed the cup of black tea in front of me. I almost rolled my eyes but I stopped myself. “I don’t know why should I calm down when I am not even doing something hysterical,” I said. She raised her eyebrow and chuckled, saying, “Did we recover from the earthquake you made last morning?” “I do not even know how I did that.” “Yes, because you also don’t know how powerful you are, especially if everyday, you get stronger.” I inhaled sharply because it overwhelmed me --- that I am powerful that I think. Queen Jonah has even said that. Currently, we are now in the grand terrace of the palace. No one is around in this floor, but the queen said that all of the royalties are getting together for a party. The excuse she said why she could not attend is that she is still mourning about
Elizabeth I saw Queen Jonah appearing from the forest where she walked through. She was wearing a black cloak like me, a purple combat dress, and a wand in her hand that I newly recognized. When she was now in front of me, she cleared my confusion. “My wand has been my apprentice,” she said. “This is my medium to respectively release my power. I can release my power using my hands like you, but the wand is also convenient.” I nodded. “So can I also use a wand-like you so I can control my powers?” “It depends on where you are comfortable, but I suggest you practice using your powers through your hands. There will be instances that your powers will depend on the presence of your wand,” she said. I did not answer, but I looked around. The next day, we had a negotiation to meet up in the middle of the forest near the kingdom so that we can start the training. “You might be wondering why we are not under the trees so that we can hide," she said, about the bald sky above us.

"Wow, congratulations, Jill! Highest ka sa reporting, ah?" komento ng isang kaklase ko nang magsabay kami sa paglalakad sa kalsada. "Ang galing mo rin kasing mag-English. Nakakadugo sa ilong, alam mo iyon?"Tinawanan ko lang siya. "Hindi ko talaga alam kung bakit sa English ko pa kung pwede naman sa delivery of speech, ate," aniko. "Pero thank you po!"Hoooo, nakakapagod kahit isang klase lang ngayong hapon. Marami kasing tanong ang instructor namin sa MSTE-1 tungkol sa topic ng reporting ko, at dahil ayokong mapahiya ay sinagutan ko lahat ng iyon kagaya ng pinag-aralan ko kagabi. I have always been competitive when it comes to academics without creating competitions against anyone. Gusto ko lang na mataas ang grades ko at malayo sa posibilidad na bumagsak ako. Nasa college na ako, kaya kailangan kong pagbutihan, lalo na at kasali ako sa scholarship program ng Cornelia Foundation College. Kumaway ako sa kaklase ko sa second year na pumunta sa waiting shed kung saan ang bus stop. Ako
Maybe it was the fact that I was bothered what happened last night that I was spacing out when I went to the office the next day of work. “Secretary Castro? Are you okay?” an employee asked me when she approached me. “The paperworks you are holding are being blown away from your table.”“Huh?” I said and turned my head to the direction of my cubicle. My eyes widened when I saw that my papers are being blown away from my table that is caused by the huge air conditioner’s fan. It made me curse and ran towards it. “Shit!”The employee also lurched forward to help me get them. She kept raining me with questions if I am okay, or why I have not noticed my paperwork. I just kept nodding because I just want everything to be organized, and yet I a messing it all up. “What about your coffee, ma’am?” the female employee asked me again innocently.“Fuck…” I murmured and dropped all of the paperwork on my table. “Why is my day doing this to me?”Without wasting time, I approached the coffee mach
NARRATION“What do you mean the vampires are alive?!” Queen Jeany exclaimed and stood up from her throne chair. “That is impossible! They are long dead!”Her loud exclamation echoed inside the throne room where all the royalties of Kingdom Monjour are holding a royal conference to discuss some serious matters. The queen is interrogating a village’s hunter, when it informed the guards that he saw creatures that are lurking inside the Dark Forest. Her Majesty was hyperventilating with her navy blue gown, shining silver crown, and expensive jewelries that she had bought from different kingdoms, except her necklace that is owned by her mother queen.The scared hunter that is hugging his bow jumped because of the furious queen. “I-It is true, Your Majesty,” he stammered and gulped intensely. “When I was targeting a reinder from the lake, I was stopped when I saw a pale man in his black clothes. He was showing his sharp fangs and red eyes under a narrow tree. I could still remember

Just like I've said, Viramos is a small town. There was clearly no doubt that what transpired last night outside our boarding house scattered around our batch. "Talagang sinugod si Melanie kagabi?""Naglasing ba naman sa boarding House no'ng Oscar."Nag-igting ang panga ko nang marining ang dalawang classmates ko na nag-uusap sa aking likod. I pretended to be listening to the discussion of our instructor, but the topic behind me is ringing in my ears, distorting my focus on the class. "Absent pa nga siya ngayon, oh? Siguro nahiya.""As in nakita mo talaga kagabi?""Oo naman! Magkatabi lang kaya kami ng boarding house nila Melanie. Nagce-cellphone kasi ako no'n sa terasa, tapos nakarinig ako ng ingay. Sina Melanie na pala-""Excuse me. Pwede bang pakihina ng mga boses niyo? Medyo hindi ko kasi marinig si miss dahil sa inyo."I immediately gazed at Irise who seemingly is now irritated. Hindi na ako nag-aksaya pang tingnan ang dalawang kaklaseng sinaway niya at hinintay na lang ang pin
"Lagi ka talagang aabusuhin dahil sobrang bait mo," sabi ni mama sa akin habang kumakain kami ng hapunan. "Hindi pwedeng ikaw nalang lahat, Jill. Magtira ka naman para sa sarili mo." Nadiin ko ang pagtusok ng kutsara sa karne ng isda dahil sa irita ko. Nakatalikod si mama sa akin dahil nasa upuan ako, habang siya at ang dalawang kapatid ko naman ay nasa lamesa. "Oo, mama. Oo," sagot ko nang matigil siya. Mukhang nahalata niyang ayaw kong pinapangaralan ako ngayon dahil sa pagod kaya natahimik din siya. Hindi sa padabog ako kumain ulit, pero nagpatuloy ako nang nakasimangot. Ramdam ko pa ang tingin ng kapatid kong babae sa akin, pero hindi ko na siya tiningnan pa. Umalis ako sa boarding house dahil gusto kong matahimik ang buhay ko. Tapos paparangalan pa ako rito? Ano, dahil lang sa tumigil ako sa pagtatrabaho at wala na akong naibibigay na pera, gaganituhin na nila ako? Huminga ako nang malalim matapos kong isubo ang panghuling kanin at tumayo rin para ilagay ang nagamit na kubye
I could see through his eyes that he was being affected, especially when he slightly flinched the moment I slid my hand down to his necktie. Without further ado, I grabbed the paper he signed and stood up straightly. He was still motionless while I was flipping my hair, his gaze being serious at the moment and the playfulness has been eradicated after I played with him.“I am sorry to disturb your consciousness, Mr. Montenegro, and take that as a lesson to never mess with me,” I said firmly and turned my back on him, not regretting every word I said.Does he think that I forgot that he insulted me in their first and second dinner in their mansion? If he just knows me, he would know that I don’t easily forgive and I also do not know how to forget. Duh!I rolled my eyes while walking throughout the busy hallways that contained employees who greeted me. I rode an elevator to go to my boss’ office where I know that is having his work time in his office.“Good afternoon, sir,” I greeted wh
Obsession and love are two different things. And Elizabeth would not want to experience chasing a person who can’t even fight for her. But it is even worse for her to destroy herself by loving a person too much. Too much that she would do anything to own him but would hurt other people. Elizabeth hastily opened the door of the office where her cubicle is located. It is opposite the main office of the independent director and just one looking up at the face, she would confront the door of it. But as soon as she sat on her swivel chair, she did not bother looking at her boss’ door. Instead, she placed her both hands on the side of her head, shut her eyes tightly, and hyperventilated because of what happened. Cross would surely be angry about what she did. He might be even believing Hannah instead of his girlfriend, so it is consolidated with a conclusion that he would never go after her. Not to mention the confused expression of the chairman towards her. What about the t
ELIZABETHI could see how Diego flinched through the darkness. Even his black eyes were glowing, and it is still unexplainable how I could still see that. Before he could even step forward when he subtly reacted because of the slap Prince Ronald gave me, I glared at him and shook my head.I already said that he should trust me! Was the idea of him going here bad? He should have not been here!I groaned in pain when Prince Ronald caught my chin again and forcefully made me look at him. He was smirking devilishly and it disgusted me to think that I respected him a lot before when he is this fucked up.“I swear. I will make your life miserable forever,” he said. “I am looking forward for you to do that,” I whispered back.Because I might be doing that to you.He retreated while watching me being seized by the royal guards. The guards started to pull my arms for me to walk. I chose to obey because I do not want to meet with the bruises and cuts on my face again. Nevertheless, I have to b
