ValenOne day later All of us are seated at the living room waiting for Adelaide to arrive. Everything is set from my side. I just hope everything will go according to our plan. After for about ten minutes or so, a knock sounded from the door. "Let me go get it" Cindy offered making a walk to the door. "Gianna?" I stared at the figure in shocked. "Gianna?" Vito repeated. However, our eyes were fixated on each other. That was when everything began crumbling down. That was when I realized how much I've missed her. How much I missed the presence of her. Like someone whose body is being possessed, I found myself marching forward towards where she was standing. She also did the same. We stopped with an inch left between us. "Why are you here? How did you get here?" I muffled out my eyes still flushed on hers."I'm here to see you" She breathe out. And just like that, I pulled her to me engulfing her in a hug. Forgetting about Cindy and Vito that were standing there. She also wrapped her
GiannaThe amont of joy that washed over me when I entered through the path and nothing happened to me. I was on top of the clouds probably because I know it will help Valen. The expression on his face when I broke the good news to him. He couldn't contain his excitement as much as me. That means we would be seeing each other frequently as far as Mrs. Marissa will keep making the herb for us. I will either visit him or he will. I found myself giggling at the thought. "What's funny?" Maria asked her brows creasing at my action. She knew nothing about what is going on. It's better to keep it a secret. After all, my meeting with Valen is also a secret. If anyone finds out, I would be in great trouble. Not when I know his situation with the pack house. Even Mrs. Marissa doesn't know I used to sneak out. I just hope she won't find out anytime soon. Before she stops me. She warned me not to take any decision without consulting her. But then who cares. I can't get enough of Valen. I want to
GiannaThe day has finally arrived. The day of the competition. If you ask me how I'm feeling, I will say it in one word. Excited. Why? Because I'm looking forward to going to the city. I know we have no where staying but the feeling of visiting the city after how many years. I didn't tell Valen about my plan. He said we'd be meeting today. How easily he said that because he has something to protect him. But I didn't ask him one thing. Where we would be meeting or what time. He would want anybody to see him. We'll see. I finished off the remaining work and rinsed my hand before making my way out. Where Maria and her grandmother were seated discussing. By the looks on their faces, it's a serious conversation. "Um... Let me go get my scarf" I have no idea why I used the line. What scarf was I talking about? I don't own any scarf. "Don't worry. Have a seat. I want to talk to both of you" Mrs. Marissa profound. I spared a quite Maria a glance getting a blank reaction from her in return
Valen"Are you all set?" I spared Vito and Cindy a glance."Yes Master we are" Adelaide has already given us the instructions so she didn't tag along. Heaving out one last breath, marched forward and we stepped in. It was a narrow path. We came out from the rim of green plants all over. "I think this is why the path is hideous. No one will tell there's a door here" Cindy profound checking around the surrounding. I did the same. "We don't have much time. Vito""Yes Master""Remeber our plan. When things doesn't go accordingly, alert me through the button""Okay Master. Let's get going Cindy" I watched as the two sauntered away looking completely different in their outfits. I followed the other direction where I will be meeting with Anabel. Yes, she's also part of the plan. I will be meeting her together with her boyfriend. I have a job for him. As I arrived there, she was already waiting for me with the boyfriend. "Master" She approched me. "Is he the one?" The boyfriend asked spar
GiannaMaria and I held each other by the arm as we walked down the path towards the forest. The weather is not yet dark so we didn't switch on our touch light. Selena and Vanessa were working behind us. I don't know whether they're whispering so we could hear because their voice was obviously loud. Maria wanted stopping to talk to them but I urge her not to. It's not even worth it. We're in a competition where we're supposed to focus on winning not wasting our time on other people. The supervisor are infont, side by side and in the back. In case anyone tries to cheat or do something. "Do you think we're going to win?" Maria voice revamped to my ear drums. "Its too early for us to start having negative thoughts. I can't say but we have to try our best" I explained forming my lips into a thin line. Maria nodded her head in answer. "You'r right. It doesn't matter who our opponents are. Let's give it our best" She said with a thumbs up. My thoughts wandered to Valen. I wonder what he'
ValenIt took him a minutes or more before he finally uttered another word. “What are you doing here?” His voice was cold as ice. I expected much from him. “You know the rules quite well” He added. I marched forward my steps making small incoherent sounds. I stopped few inches from where he was standing. “Rules are rules. They can't stay intact forever. They're bound to be broken one day” I said with equal tone. His eyes lingers on me for a while as if he was in deep thought. The corner of my lips twitched up into a fake smile. Deep down my heart was beating in it's ribcage. But I can't let my emotions out. Funny enough we've not seen each other for how many years but the fears is still there. The fear of coming face to face with my father. I thought I won't have that feeling again. I thought I've grown strong in the years but now everything is coming back to me. I have not discarded it completely but have put it at bay. I found my way and crashed on the couch making him to turned
GiannaI was still tied up in bed in the name of getting better. I've told Maria’s grandmother and Maria herself that I'm all healed up but they won't listen. They keep telling me to rest in bed. I feel like I'm in a house arrest. I don't get out of bed unless I want to eat, take my bath or change out of my outfit. Is that not house arrest. And ever since Maria told me Valen came, I couldn't stay calm. I want to know how he is. Whether he's okay. My mind was occupied with his thoughts day and night. We didn't get any news from the Alpha whether the competition will still go on or not. No any news. This time around, I won't stay idle. Maria’s grandma was avoiding me on purpose. There's something she's not telling me. Why Valen came? Was it because of his curse or something else. I have a lot of question that I needed the answer to. I tossed out the covers from my body and made a walk out of the room. The living room was quite. The smell of burnt gum occupied my nostrils almost gaggin
Valerio“Master I don't think you've made the right choice. It's dangerous here. Your hea-” I was quick in cutting him off. “You don't have to worry about anything Andy. Just do as I say. Mrs. Marissa will help us” “But Ma-”“Do you trust me?” I asked. “I do. I have never doubt your intention but this time around I'm not sure we’re doing the right thing” A small smile found it's way out of my lips. “Just trust me. Mrs. Marissa said we should give her a day and she will find a way for me to stay at the pack” I remembered how our conversation ended. I don't want to tell Andy or Cindy the truth for them to worry. FlashbackShe didn't say anything for a while. Only kept looking at me with a nervous expression. “I will take your silence as approval. So what are we starting with?”“Prince Valen, I'm not saying I won't help you or I don't have the power to. But it's something very crucial. It might work but it will come with it's odd”Great. At least she didn't say there is no way out. T
