Valen. I was the first the battle of staring that we ventured. I had no intention of telling her. It's better if she doesn't know much about what’s going on around. “Eat first” I said. Her eyes widened. “What! I though you're going to tell me something” She said following me up. I stood on mid stairs turning around. “Are you going to follow me to my room?”“Yes. I mean no but you will tell me about it right?” She said. She's still hell bent on knowing. I don't know why she wants to know about me so badly. Only if she knew not knowing about it is better. I heaved out a sharp breath. “Yes. Don't pester me” I turned around to walk away when she spoke up. “I’m not pestering you. I'm not some bug” Mu mouth was left open as I watched her walk away. As I crashed on my desk, I intertwined my hands on the table and went into a deep thought. Basically, about the pearl. If I can recall, Adelaide once spoke about the black pearl being a strong item. How did it get to Gianna’s hand? I know she
GiannaAs Vito walked us towards the stream, all the while, my eyes were fixated on his sword that was flexing together with his broad arms. Only if he knew how I was busy checking him out. He has that kind bouncer body. I'm sure if he lands a punch on someone, the person will faint immediately. I almost dripped on the a rock stone. “Careful dear” Vito uttered for the first time since we embark on the journey. I don't know whether he doesn't know that I've been to the stream. “I’ve been here before” I said straightforward. His eyes danced with frown. He must be thinking how did I know about the place. It's not a hideous place. “Is this what you want to show me?” I asked again. “No. I mean yes but I didn't expect you to know this place already” The corner of my lips twitched up as I marched forward over to the bottom line of the water. “I came here with Cindy and your master also saw me here. So, it's not a new place anymore” He nodded his head in answer looking somewhere else. I t
ValenThe words penetrated from my skull down to my body. I felt her words deep down. We locked gaze. For the first time my heart beats abnormally. Not like how it normally do. "I'm sorry I don't mean to trouble you or poke nose in your personal life. But I heard it all from Vito" She said casting her head down. I wasn't able to grab what she mean. "And I'm sorry for troubling you all these while without knowing what you're facing" Something was pulling me to touch her but I stopped myself. I don't think it's appropriate for me to do that. I don't want to give her the wrong impression. But then something about her eyes is pulling me in. Just like that I moved my hand forward and grabbed her cheeks. "Now you're admitting you're a troublemaker" A frown spread on her face. She jerked her face away rubbing off the place. "Must you pull my cheeks" It's not like I assert too much grip on it. A chuckle escaped me. "I felt the need. It's looking soft" Her eyes widened at my statement. "
A day laterI didn't expect Valen to agree for me to stay back at the house. I mean I don't see the point in sending me to Adelaide’s house. It's not like I have interest in learning whatever medicinal practice. But then he's acting strange since last night. He didn't talk much. Only locked himself in the room. Neither of the two knows the answer. After much contemplating, I packed his dinner and ascend my way up to his room. I sounded my fist on the door getting no response. “He’s going to act ignorant again” I muffled out rolling my eyes. I choose to enter without the need of getting informed to enter. As expected, he was seated at his desk. He spared me a second before dropping his attention back to his desktop. I wonder what he's doing with it. If he can have electronics, why then won't he communicate with the outside world? I wondered. I dropped the tray on the center table and return my focus on him. “So we’re going back to square one” I commenced. “What do you mean?” He sti
GiannaMy hands slowly made their way to his face. As my hand got in contact with his skin, it went together with the escalating of my heart. His eyes slowly opened and we locked gaze. Our eyes were fixated on each other without blinking. Some part of me was warning me to pull back another part of me was pulling me in. I was about pulling my hand when he held it our gaze still locked. "How are you feeling?" The way he said it made me melt in his touch. "I'm fine" I muffled out. "No pain anywhere?" He asked stretching his hand to touch my neck. I was quick in shifting back coming back to my senses. We shouldn't be doing that. "Yes. I'm fine. No... Pain" I stammered moving away on the accord discarding the covers from my body. "What's happening to me? This is second time I'm having that seizure?" it's surprising how I lost all control. And when Adelaide apply something to me, then I will be back to normal. I will first fall into a deep slumber. That isn't something ordinary. "You s
ValenI don't know what other thoughts Gianna has but I want to give her suggestion a try. It's not like I don't want to experience the feeling of freedom. I do want to experience every other thing. I just don't know how. Ever since I was a kid, I didn't have the freedom of going around freely, I was always guarded by Vito. Everything is laid out for me. From food, clothing, who to interact with. Things to do. I don't have a say in my life. But then if what Gianna said about more to life, I'm willing to give that a chance. I don't know how to tell her that she can go home without waiting for the full moon for the gate to open. “When are you going to switch it on?” I was brought back by her voice. Eagerness was labeled all over her face. I don't know whether I'm ready to use the device yet. But then I'm only switching it on to check the date not for anything. I long press on the power button and the light surfaces. I don't know whether Gianna noticed the nervousness that began crepti
GiannaI paced around the room as I stared at the transparent walls. He left earlier when I was waiting for him to give me an answer. Like I don't know what is going on between us. The sudden kiss shocked me to the core. I was out of it for a moment. I didn't know how to react but something pulled me in. My wold shamelessly groaning inside. I was shy as hell to meet his eyes. I managed to masked it up as if nothing happen. But then when I asked him what are we, what did he do, he changed the topic and walk out of the house. The sun has began setting down yet no sign of him. I was beginning to get worried while Cindy doesn't seem to bother about it. "Cindy, did Valen told you where he's going?" I asked the moment she stepped out of the kitchen. Her brows furrowed together. "No. Why?""He's been out for more than an hour yet he's not back" Cindy omit out a short breath and walk up to me. "You're getting worried unnecessary. This is not the first time Master has gone out by this time
Valen.Bitterness visited my chest as Gianna looked away from me and left the room without a second glance. I know there's no way that she won't be afraid of me. Not with the way I was looking. Not the black veins ruining my face and body. I'm still trying to figure out the reason why my wolf shifted all of a sudden. I don't know but ever since I made eye contact with an unfamiliar woman within the surrounding of the pack house, my mind wasn't at rest. The way she attacked me with her eyes which somehow looked unusual to me. I have never seen the woman before. She dressed normally and clean. Like she came from the south. Even though I was wearing a hat to cover my face a bit, she was still able to peek a look at me.As for my parents, most especially my father. Nothing has changed instead he held the power as usual. I overheard them talking with his friends as they were making their way out of the gates. My father’s closest friend and a hypocrite. Yes I call him hypocrite because tha
