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
Gianna“Gianna can you take Master’s food to his room” The way my heart did a thump when she mention him. “Why? As you can see I'm working now” I said pointing to the wash basin. “I know. It won't take long. You're only dropping the food. I didn't ask you to stay there” I sensed sarcasm from her voice. I don't know why I'm sensing arrogance in her and much to say authority. I wiped off my hand on the towel and grabbed the towel. It's just to drop the food and leave right. No problem. I will do that. No need to get worried. I stopped in front of his door and inhale a sharp breath. “Gianna, calm down. It's not like you did anything wrong” I mentally ushered to myself before pushing the door open. My head was casted down as I walk myself to his bed. I didn't even care to check whether he was in a sitting position or sleeping position. Just as I dropped the tray and was about to turn around, I felt something warm engulfing my wrist. My body shudder at the gesture. “Where are you going?
GiannaThree days later. How surprising time flies fast. Valen veins are disappearing. On the accord, I was working together with Adelaide. I'm more than ready to find a way to cure him. At least I will be able to get something before I leave the place. I’m sure Adelaide knows why I got interested all of a sudden she just doesn't want to say it. “Can you pass me that leaves” Adelaide ushered snapping me out of the trance I ventured into. We were preparing another remedy for Valen. The first one he was using before didn't reflect on him but when Adelaide changed method, it work well. “Don’t you think if Valen keeps using these leaves it might cure him?” I asked. “If it was this simple we wouldn't have reach this stage” I formed my lips into a thin line. “You’re right. But then isn't there a way. Because he can't go on with his life like this”“That is something I'm working on. It isn't easy as you think. I know you care about Valen but you shouldn't put yourself in danger on the
