Before I could make my tenth step, a hand forcefully pulled my wrist. I swore under my breath and pushed his chest hard even though I know it won't make any difference.
"What the hell is wrong with you, Rage?!"
His dark brooding eyes stared at me with that serious expression in his face. He looked as if he could kill someone right now. He looked as if he was ready to lash his fury to someone just to ease the burden in his chest.
I sucked on my breath and tried to get away from him. I only got more pissed when I couldn't.
"What the fuck were you saying, huh?"
"Didn't you hear me?" I shot my brow up. "It's not my problem that you didn't. Don't expect me to say the same thing twice. I don't do that."
"You will leave just like that?" He sounded so offended.
"Why? Are you thinking that I would stay with you after what happened? To ask you to be responsible for it?" I barked a laughter. "Given the fact that we have been together for s
"What the fuck did you say?!" I couldn't help but raise my voice. What he said was too much of a revelation, I was dumbfounded."You are my mate," he repeated even though we both know that I heard him clear enough."You are kidding." I shook my head, refusing to believe the lies he's telling me. Yes, lies. How can that be true anyway? That can't happen. I can't be mated to someone like him! Especially not to a werewolf! I can't be that unlucky!"I'm not," he said in a firm voice, it shook my faith."Stop telling be bullshit and get off me!""It's not just bullshit, Elena. I know it is shocking, but it's true. And it is the reason why I ordered someone to tell the mistress of your guild about the mission. You think I paid your guild for the job to kill myself? I'm not suicidal. And I won't certainly waste such money for nothing. I did that because I have no other idea how to get close to you. I want to make a move and get to know you more, and
Ameira’s POVA solemn, sweet melody from the citharas enveloped the whole hall. Holding my golden goblet filled with wine, I silently watched how the newlyweds in front smile at the guests."Lady Celestine is two years younger than you, Ate. But look and she got married before..."I shot my brother a sharp look. He snorted and smiled."Does the older one always have to come first, Eiden? What if she gets married first? Does that mean she's prettier than me?"Her eyes narrowed, straining to keep a smile on her face. He looked down at the walnut I was holding, which was almost crushed."Uh, of course you're more beautiful, sister! No one can beat you when it comes to beauty ..." he said nervously.I raised an eyebrow and stroked the hair on my right shoulder. That's true. I may not be the one holding the title as the noblest woman in Derra Avades, but I am the most beautiful."First of all, my wife and I are delighted that
Elena's past life My heart pounded hard as I looked at my reflection in the mirror. The lowly dress is fine, but if I only have any other choice than this disguise, I will not dare resort to this. I sighed and turned to the househelp lying on my bed. "Sorry, Alora," I said silently. I had to escape the mansion and go to them Ezera because I promised I would go to the auction. But Father didn't allow me to go. It's an underground auction, different sects and powerful persons will be involved. So I know why he is worried. I am nervous, too. But I knew it would be impossible for me to be damned if Desmond and my cousin Ezera were there. "After you put the househelp to sleep, go to the maid's quarter. You know there's a door there. The guard outside won't be there at that time, I've already found a way," said Ezera who had planned everything before yet that night. I sighed as I bow my head, walking slowly out of my chamber. I met a waitres
"I told you, Ameira! I told you not to go out!" Dad's anger greeted me when I arrived at the mansion.I was still in shock. That's why I didn't answer a single word of what Dad said. I just bent down, silently crying."I told you, didn't I? It was an underground auction! Most influencial people were gathered in that place, the reason why I didn't want you to attend! But you chose to disobey me!"I close my eyes when I hear the violent breaking of the glass he was holding earlier. I've never seen him this angry before. Just now he was completely angry with me. And I understand it. I put my life in danger. I was too naive, I didn't know any better."What if something happened to you? You were too careless, you didn't even think about your father!"I bowed."I-I'm sorry, Pápa ..."He did not speak for a moment. I slowly lifted my head and looked at him. I stopped sobbing. I saw him draw a deep sigh before looking at me again, this
Slowly, the glittering thing above me became clear. It's a chandelier. I am in my room, in my bed. My sweat was dripping and I didn’t know why I was feeling so nervous."Don't worry, she is just fine," it was a familiar voice. Is it our family doctor?I closed my eyes for several seconds. When I opened it again, I froze when I saw my father's worried face, his sea-green eyes reflecting mine. I gulped, suddenly confused why I am feeling scared.I was about to ask what happened when I suddenly remembered something. It was as if I were drenched in cold water when everything I heard in the study came back to me. If there is a stronger feeling than being horrified, then that is what I'm feeling."I'll take my exit now, Lord Alzaro."Dad nodded at the doctor. I was gripped tightly by the blanket when the two of us were left there. My father never showed me violence. He always understands me, that it makes me feel guilty to be scared of him now.
Decisions are like making a choice between which bridge to cross and which bridge to burn. You should be ready to take risks.When I decided, I knew there was no certainty where the path I had chosen would take me. But I am willing to take the risk and go out from my comfort zone. The consequences might be hard, but now, I think human life is short. No one knows what will happen to you the following days. So I decided that from now on, I am going to make my own fate.I was dazzled by the gusts of wind. The salty air filled my nose. I adjusted the scarf on my head and read the sign there.Port of Kaohsiung.I sighed in relief. Now I'm really convinced that I am in Taiwan.At first, Desmond stopped me from my intention. I was dismayed but I told him I will do it even without his help. I know how he would react, but I also know he can’t stand me. So I knew he would help me too eventually.It was a big gamble. Security at the mansion is ti
Eve's POV "Kill her." When I heard that familiar voice, I opened my eyes at once. There were men in front of me, their eyes glowing red. They looked at me as though they are ready to kill me. I felt nervous but the nervousness I was feeling faded when I saw who was standing a few steps behind the vampire men in front of me. It was Carter. His eyes were also glowing red but it looked very cold. His face was emotionless and dark. And the way he looked at me… it was as if he was looking at someone he loathed, someone he had never had feelings with, someone he didn't share memories with. The look was full of indifference and nothing else. It felt like he was looking at someone not important, someone who was never been a vital part of his life. It hurt. But somehow, the pain I felt wasn't as potent as the pain I felt when he left me back when I was still a human. It was just a tinge, and I wonder why. I still feel pain but compared t
Elena’s POV (Present time) “There is a case I want you to investigate,” Mistress Hera said which confused me. Did I even hear her right? “Investigate, Mistress? I don’t think that is what our guild does.” We are not law enforcers for pete’s sake. We are assassins who kill for a living. “This is a special mission. I also think this is somewhat related to the Black Phantom Guild that’s why I need you to investigate it.” Black Phantom Guild is our guild’s mortal enemy ever since. If what we do is only hunt the enemies of our patrons, they also offer more services such us smuggling and other illegal actions apart from killing. I’m not saying that we are more clean than them because we only kill, but it’s just, what they do is so much beyond the line. I don’t care about what they do alright. I don’t care if they kill, smuggle or do whatsoever things, but there were times before that they provoked us in certain instances. That’s why apart fr
