ELIZABETH I 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 you to doing 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 bruises and cuts on my face again. Nevertheless, I have to b
ELIZABETH Everything was black at first, and then I felt two kicks against my body. I slowly inhaled for oxygen but there was a lack of air, so I shook my head and coughed. Within ten seconds, someone kicked me again on the stomach, making me groan in excruciating pain. The next time I knew, I was pulled from where I was lying and I just felt myself being dropped to the ground. What was that about?! “Ah!” I exclaimed in pain and cried out for help.Laughter filled my ears, and it hurt my heart because I know that they are going to hurt me. I tried to move, but every time I do it, the rope they have wrapped me tightly is making me tortured like a concoction of needles is stabbing me through my skin. “What, wench? What were you saying?!”And again, I was kicked in the stomach. This time, it made me throw it slightly on the ground. My ears could not take the evil laughter, so I just bit my lower lip. That is when I realized that I was being abducted by the three princesses. I coughed
Elizabeth “Diego?!” I exclaimed in surprise, could not believe that I am literally seeing him now. “What are you doing here?!” And then I looked at my naked body. “And why the bloody hell am I naked?!” But when I gazed at him, he was listlessly looking back at me with his eyebrow shot. I blinked repeatedly so he would know that I am asking him using my glance while my arms are lifting. “Hello?” I said again and subtly waved my hand. “Are you listening? I am asking you, Diego!” He shrugged suddenly and answered, “Well, I saw you almost being eaten by a werewolf. It was my initiative to save you, right?” “Huh?” I mumbled out of confusion. “But how?” He merely chuckled and turned his back again to look at what he was cooking. I peeked over his broad shoulder, but I could not clearly see it because he was too big. I hissed and was about to go down, but before I could even hastily move my feet, I felt a huge stabbing pain all over my body, especially the back of my head. “Ah!” I said
Elizabeth “I don’t know if you are just acting like you don’t get it or you don’t get it,” Diego said while tilting his head, as if dubious about my reaction. I glared at him intently. “Just tell me if you have a death wish because I will gladly grant that to you,” I threatened him. “You sound so hot saying that - Ow!” “Shut your bloody mouth!” I hit his shoulder with my arm, but it felt like I was the one who was more hurt. His shoulder is like metal! Does he lift ten sacks every time he’s in the field like Nikita would always say? “Now do tell me,” I said again and made my glares like daggers so he would know that I am deadly serious, “what are you, really, Diego?” I was already bracing myself for him to tell me that he is a witch. No, a male witch is called a wizard. Why am I so stupid? Despite my irrational thoughts, I was still focusing on Diego’s forthcoming answer. He smirked and said, “you would not like the answer if I tell you.” “I don’t care,” I said abruptly. “Just
Elizabeth “I think you have an idea,” he said and his hand went to my neck. “Do you remember the first night we met? When you healed my wounds after my hunt?” I gasped softly when he caressed the mark I have gotten on my neck. It was the werewolf’s bite that is the reason why my mother was so furious! And when you are bitten by the beast, you will end up as his mate! I felt like I was blanching in horror and could not breathe by what I am contemplating in my mind. “It was you?” I asked softly. “You… are my mate?” “Yes,” he answered again. “And you are also gonna be my wife, bride, mother of my children, and my half when I become the alpha of our pack.” After he said that, I pushed him hard. I widened my eyes at him, while he watched me getting angry. “How dare you!” I exclaimed furiously. “You can’t just do this to me! Do you mean that I can’t love any man now except you? And you are a bloody werewolf?” He pursed his lips, so I continued ranting, taking that as a cue that he wan
Elizabeth I woke up the next morning feeling bright and okay. I could still feel the pain in my body due to my bruises and injuries. When I opened my eyes first thing in the morning, I saw the whole and clear face of Diego. I realized that he was beside me, sleeping soundly. His body was facing mine, so I could watch him breathing and his beautiful eyes closed. I have known the first moment I saw him that he is good-looking. Just thinking that he really is my mate and I am going to be his wife makes me crawl skin. But it does not mean that I cringed. It is even more comforting. The fear and surprise were still there because I just knew last night that he is a werewolf. But at the back of my mind, what about it? He never tried to hurt me. I was afraid when he transformed into a wolf and I thought he would devour me. Instead… he kissed me. My eyes drifted to his red and soft lips. I have kissed him twice now. He got the crown of the man who is my first kiss. What a lucky werewolf! I
ElizabethThe forest looked beautiful because the sun was shining brightly. Leaves were rustling on each other; branches swaying with the morning wind; and the chirping of the birds filled my ears. It was as if no thunderstorm took place yesterday. While I was amazed by how green nature was in my eyes, the memory of me being beaten up made me want to be depressed and cry again. Not to mention that I was also imprisoned for days, starving and no one believing in me. It made my stomach churn and gulp."Be careful."I gasped a little bit when I noticed that I was about to bump into a tree if Diego did not just pull me against his chest. My chin bumped on his body and my eyes got immediately dozed by his red eyes. He was pursing his lips and deadpan looking at me. His hold of me felt so right and made my butterflies scatter inside my stomach. "Are you fine? It looks like you are in a deep introspection that you almost got a wound on your forehead if you had just bumped into that tree," h
Elizabeth I devoured all of the soup with just one sip in front of me. Diego was only watching with amusement in his eyes, but I was too busy for me to look at him back. I finished three vegetable soups in a row with his amused reaction and motionless body. “Do you want some?” I offered him and pointed to my bowl with the wooden spoon.He tilted his head, showing the sharpness of his square jaw. He then shook his head with a frowning expression.“Don’t even exert an effort to offer me with your soup. It even looks like you don’t want to share,” he said with a sarcastic raising of an eyebrow.I snorted and pushed the bowl in front of him. “Please, you have to eat. You need to be full, alright?” I said with a smile on my face.His eyes drifted on my soup then abruptly to me. Without averting his gaze, he slowly accepted my bowl, so I indulged it towards him. I watched him move another wooden spoon that was unused. He raised his eyebrow, scoured a hot liquid from the spoon, and graduall
"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
