“What did you say?” she asked him.“I said, I know you will never harm me.” His lips touched hers briefly and he continues, “I know you won’t kill me for my throne.”Her eyes nearly popped out when he said that. Of course she wouldn’t. She was never interested in his kingdom. She loved his land, but not enough to slaughter him for it.“Trust me, there is a lot of people out there who wants to kill me.”She shook her head in confusion as to why anyone would try to dethrone him. He’s a good king. An honorable man. A great leader who stood by his pack. So why would anyone want to sabotage him over any other weakling wolf.“Agatha, I know you. I know you will never hurt me, or my people. You won’t lay waste to my land. You won’t take what’s not yours. That is how much I trust you, and that much I know of you.”Tears formed in her eyes. She was glad he understood her. She felt proud of herself as she made the right choice. The Moon Goddess didn’t fail her. She had found her a worthy mate.
Agatha slowly opened up her eyelids and saw that Austin was still sleeping. She gently shifted his arms away from her waist. She gradually got up bit by bit, trying not to stir him.As she looked at him, grief filled her heart. Austin by nature, is darkness, and she on the other hand is light. They were opposite of each other. Something about them is making her uneasy. Making her amidst about their relationship. It have been worrying her all night. She couldn’t sleep. She was restless. Her thoughts was filled with lingering holes. The more she thought about it the sadder she got. She turned her naked back to him, and the tears she hid started to trickle delicately down her cheeks.Austin, hearing Agatha’s sniffle woke up. He could sense something was wrong. Something is bothering her. She’s been shifting all night long. Twisting and turning as if something was on her mind. Knowing her, she won’t tell him unless he forces her to talk. He sneakily wrapped his arms around her body, pulli
NEXT DAY“Austin,” said Agatha, brushing his hair away from his forehead.Austin was tired and he groaned roughly, “Yes?”“May I tell you about my past.”His eyes still closed, and he shifted his body towards her. “Sure. Go ahead.”“Do you- Do you want to know?” she questioned his sleeping face.“Ah-hmm.”“Do you?”“Just because my eyes are closed doesn’t mean I am not listening to you, my beautiful wife.”A small laughter escaped her throat. She then lean against him and said, “When I was little, I set the courtyard on fire because I- I lost control.”“Lost control?” asked Austin, with one of his eyebrows lifting.“Yes. The maids were abusing me. Physically and mentally. So, in raged, I- I lost myself and set everything ablaze.”“Oh, so that’s what happened?” His eyes opened and he looked at her.She nodded her head at him. “Do you think I was cruel?”He shook his head and said, “No. Everyone has their limit. You held on long enough.”Her lips nearly curled but then she stopped. Her
“What? But I thought you said nothing can get in or out?” asked Agatha.“I know, and it shouldn’t be possible,” said Austin, staring at the white translucent hole.“So, how- where is this coming from?”“My guess… it’s a witch.”Agatha gasped loudly. “A witch?”“Yes.”“Good or bad?”“I don’t know, but we’re about to find out.” Austin summoned out his sword. It was covered with black shrouds.Agatha also summoned out her sword. It was gleaming white.Out of the portal came a fuzzy hair looking woman.“WOAH! AHH!” screamed the woman. She was diving headfirst onto the floor.Austin frowned as to who it was that was so clumsy. Tripping and falling over her hem of dress. Agatha leaned her head to the side to see who the disheveled woman was.“Ouccch!” groaned the woman.Austin’s sword pointed at the woman. “Who are you and what do you want?”The woman looked up in fear. She held up her hands, “Hold on, hold on, I’m a good witch.”“A good witch?” questioned Agatha.“Yes. My grandmother sent
“Weather?” asked Agatha.“Yes,” replied Weather.“Oh, it’s a good thing that you’re here.” Agatha edged forward.Austin’s hand came out to stop her from moving towards Weather. “Don’t trust anyone so easily,” said Austin cautiously.Agatha, nearly forgetting the danger stepped back. Shen then looked back at Weather.“Why are you here?” asked Austin.Weather just smiled at both of them.Austin, being protective, backed Agatha behind him. “The illusion is impenetrable.” Weather started to pick out the dirt from her fingernails.“How were you able to break through the barrier?” Austin was becoming irritated.“Nothing is impossible, IF you know what you’re doing,” answered Weather, blowing at her pinky.“How do you know when this magic is sacred?”Weather half grinned at him.Austin’s face darken. “This was created centuries ago. Five lifetime ago.”“So?”“So, meaning it’s lost. Lost magic.”Weather put her hands behind her back and answered, “Probably because us witches have been aroun
“Why? Why is everyone so afraid of Elva?” asked Austin. He hates how everyone fear her so much. The one they should fear is him. He’s the dark prince. He’s the one to bring the end of the world. He’s destruction himself. He’s the one that everyone dread when they take their last breath. If he has to he will do it. He will reveal himself. By revealing his darker side, he will be able to kill Elva.Austin looked at Agatha. And with a settling thought he said to himself, “That’s right, my mate will be able to stop me. She will be able to suppress me when I go beyond rage mode. Dark God mode will subside as long she’s there. Agatha will help control the darkness. I believe in her. I know she can do it. She will be able to take me down when the time comes.”“You both don’t understand. She’s done a lot of- things…” Weather paused.Austin looked annoyingly at Weather. “What don’t we understand?”“Because Elva-” Weather looked at both of them with worry in her eyes. “She have the magic to wip
Agatha stood up and said, “So, what else did your grandmother see about the future?”Weather’s face lights up immediately, “You believe my grandmother. You believe in fate, right?”Agatha chuckled, “More like setup then anything.”“No. You don’t understand, if my grandmother didn’t see the end of the world, she wouldn’t have worked so hard to try to make sure everything fall into place.”“What do you mean?”“She made sure that Austin was born to take over the darkness. She made sure that you were safe. Your nine tails would help you control your light magic. Balancing you two. She only pushed shoved the two destined couples when the time came.”“You mean, more like force.”Weather shook her head in denial. “No. No. Think about it. You and Austin. If she forces you two together, it wouldn’t have worked right? Only fated mates would love and die for each other. Yet here you two are. Loving and caring for one another.”Maybe what Weather is saying is true. Maybe her grandmother did get t
“If you just give us some more time-” stuttered Agatha.Weather stressed, “We don’t have time. We need the child’s blood now,”“Now?” questioned Agatha.“Yes. I mean it should be any day now, right?” Weather cocking one of her eyebrows at Agatha.“Any day?” gulped Agatha."Yes, of course dearest."Agatha nervously said, “Isn’t that a bit too soon.”“No. We’re rather late," counter Weather. Agatha tensely chuckled.“Agatha, dear,” said Austin holding her hands, “are we expecting?”"Ugghhhhh..." Agatha wasn't sure how to answer him for she too doesn't know. Weather, swing her arms back and forth and sounding pumped said, “If I time it correctly you should be delivering soon. And don't you worry," she tapped herself proudly on the chest, "I got you. I will help you with the delivery phase." “Wha- What!” gasped Agatha.“Oh,” gasped Austin. His voice sounded out his surprise. He rubbed her back trying to ease her tension. "You got this." Agatha swallowed nervously. She was becoming un
“How could you be so reckless,” he said to her but at a distance.“Well, it wasn’t my fault, was it,” said Lily, fixing her dress.“You knew that sending out that signal could triggered the enemy to find you, yet you did it to have Peter find us.”“Yes. If I didn’t, then we wouldn’t be found, and…” she flipped her head to him. “We wouldn’t be able to stop the Mystical Dragon when we did.”Solomon lifted her off the ground and placed her on his lap. “Please, stop trying to make yourself vulnerable.”“I wasn’t.”“Yes, by putting yourself in danger, you are baited.”“But,” said Lily, wrapping her arms around his neck.“But what,” asked Solomon, daring to want to hear more.“I got you.”Solomon smiled at her remarks. He licked her lips and begged for more. He sucked on her tongue till they were a dripping mess.“Solomon,” puffed Lily.“Yes?” he said, breathlessly.“Seriously, we are running out of time, no more sex,” she panted against his lips, but wouldn’t let go of him either.“Humph! T
PRESENT Solomon grabbed Lily by the waist and tilted her chin to him. “If you ever do something that foolish again, I swear, I will-” Lily started crying. Of course she was sad for what she did, but she couldn’t live with the pain. Living life without him is more painful than living a life alone. Solomon saw that he have made her upset again and said, “I’m sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry.” Lily whimpered into his chest. Solomon patted her on the back to soothe her from crying. After Lily have calmed down he nibble on her lips and said, “I only said those things to you to get you away from me.” Kiss her here and there and continues woeing her. “I was only trying to save you.” Lily’s tears fell once again. Solomon deepened his kiss. “I swear I didn’t mean anything that I've said to you.” Those words just made it worse, not in a bad way, but in a good way. The kind of feeling where you are happy when you eat ice cream on a hot day. She was warming up rapidly as she knew
“The Mystical Dragon have appeared!” shouted Peter.Solomon knew that the creature was coming, but he didn’t expect it to come this fast.“Solomon, we have to stop it now!” cried Peter.Solomon summoned his magic, but he was still injured and couldn’t fully conjured his trap.Lily looked at the Mystical Dragon. It was dark and cold. Looking at it makes one’s soul sorrow beyond measures.“Don’t look at it!” shouted Solomon.Lily looked away. She wiped away her tears.“Whatever you do, don’t look it in the eyes. Nothing good will come of it.”Peter snapped himself from staring at the creature and said, “Solomon, seal it! Seal it now!”Solomon tried to complete the incantation, but he couldn’t. He was running out of energy. His wound was bleeding internally. “Solomon! What are you doing!”Sasha standing by said, “Stop shouting at him! He’s hurt.”Peter was shocked by the news. “Solomon… Solomon is that true?”Solomon look tiredly at his friend. “Yes.”Peter was inhaling small breaths of
“SHIT!” huffed Solomon. He was feeling the heating wave washing over him.“What? What is it?” asked Lily, with worry.“It’s- It’s kicking in.”“You mean the drug- The sexual need.”“Yes, what else,” questioned Solomon, trying to hold his sanity correctly.“Fuck!” swears Lily.“Damn! Damn it!” howl Solomon.“Oh, what do I do? What do I do?” asked Lily, circling him.“I’m running out of time.” Solomon spat out some blood.“Solomon! Oh, god!”“Fuck! Whoever did this wanted its victim to feel immediate urges as they are dying. This person didn’t want to waste any time. These dicks! Fucking while dying! What a disgusting joke!” he curses loudly.“Solomon, what- what do we do? What do I do?” she asked in low panic voice. This is the first time in her life where she didn’t know what to do. She was clueless as she didn’t know how to handle such a hot and intense situations.“What else?” expelled Solomon, breathlessly.“What?” Lily asked puzzlingly.“Sex,” he grunted. “We need to have sex.”Li
PRESENT“I was able to dodge the arrow,” said Solomon,“But I- I was- I was..." stuttered Lily. "Was, what?""I really was trying to save you.”He let an amusement of "Ah." Lily let out an unsatisfied gesture. “I mean it. I had no bad intentions whatsoever." “Right.""I mean how was I supposed to know that you were- you know- dodge it."Solomon tapped his head and said, "I got everything calculated in my head already. I knew where the directions of the arrow was going and where it was heading. I was going to miss it by a mile, until... well..."Lily pouted as he was directing her mistakes. Solomon grabbed her hand and slid it up his chest. “My calcuations was to make sure that it missed me and past right by you. So neither of us gets hit.""Oh, you can do that? Wow," said Lily, shockingly. "Ah-huh.""Well, I mean you're- the amazing and wonderful Solomon, so of course you can. It's a piece of cake to you I bet." Solomon leaned into her and said, “I timed it perfectly without any
FLASHBACKThe sun was rising quickly into mid-day.“Father, do you think we can catch that fawn?” asked Solomon.“Fawn? What for?” asked Austin.“I don’t know, to raise, I guess.”“Sure,” came Austin’s reply.Solomon was closing in on the fawn. "I almost got it father!" Just as soon as he was close enough, his senses went off. Something was coming fast at him. A fast flying arrow was coming towards them. “FATHER!” he shouted. He jumped into the air to dodge the arrow. Austin, seeing the arrow dodged it by a mere inch. He halted his horse from going any further and made a turn back to camp.Austin and Solomon rode quickly to base.“What is it?” asked Agatha, seeing their rush. “We got ambushed,” said Austin.“Ambushed,” frowned Agatha.“Yes. Now hurry, we must leave back to the fortress." Agatha nodded her head and hurried Lily along.“Grump!” summoned Austin.“Yes, my king,” said Grump, flashing in front of Austin.“Sound the alarm.”Grump, shocked by his alpha's command said, “My
FLASHBACK- 1 YEAR AND 6 MONTHS AGO (PLEASE REFER BACK TO END OF EPILOGUE SHORT STORY 8) From beyond that measure stood a handsome man. He was peeking at her. Solomon was staring down at his mate, Lily. Peeking at the woman who haunts his visions day and night. His hand pushed down a few branches to get a better view of her. Wow. She’s gotten more beautiful. But he wasn’t sure how that’s possible for she’s always been beautiful. From head to toe she’s a always gorgeous looking. Not one ounce could falter her fair look. In every single aspects no one comes close to her. She's that beautiful. The wind brushed by and Lily’s hair drifted around, making her look like an angel. Solomon lost his breath and forgotten to breathe for a moment. Damn! She’s stealing my breath every single time I see her. “Solomon!” shrill Peter.“Shh!” hushed Solomon.“What? What is it?” asked Peter, he was angling himself down. He was trying to be stealth as to not be noticed. He looked around to see where the
BEDCHAMBER Solomon sat at the edge of the bed. He was nearly dressed. From his waist down he was fully clothed.Flora finally woke up and grabbed the comforter to cover her naked body. She was sore in places she didn’t think possible. She grabbed onto her stomach as he was too rough with her last night. It was a night filled with pain and pleasure. She swears she wouldn’t be able to walk with the punishment he gave her last night.Solomon’s back was against her. He seemed to be concentrating.She study him. He seems to be thinking. Deeply in his mind, he seems to be lost. She didn’t stir as she was afraid she might disrupt his train of thoughts.Solomon’s voice came without him looking at her, “Are you done?”She gripped harder onto the sheet.With her silence he turned his head slightly to look at her. “So, when does it end?”“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”Solomon flipped around so fast that she didn’t even get a chance to respond. His lips cracked upon his still face. Hi
Flora was being handed off to another man. This man lifted her into his arms. She could hear him chuckling with amusement. No. No! No! She flanges her legs in refusal of going with this man. As she struggles the man nearly dropped her. She felt her body nearly touching the ground, but she didn’t hit the hard ground, instead she was being lifted. High and above she felt like flying and onto the man’s broad shoulder she went. The man held her firmly without losing any grip.“Let go! Let go of me!” she shouted.She didn’t know what was going on. One minute she was in her house then everything went dark. A misty fragrant slide into her room and she was knocked out from the drug.THIRTY MINUTES AGOIt was dark. It was cold. Not a sound echoed the room. A thick black cloth folded over her eyes. She couldn’t see anything. Her hands were tied and bonded together.“Take her away,” said a man with a deep voice.Flora was scared now. She didn’t want to be kidnapped. She didn’t want to be taken a
