Rielle blinked her eyes rapidly as the lights got turned on. She had no idea there were candle lights in the chamber.Her eyes fell on her hand resting on his bare chest and she quickly dropped her hand."What are you doing? Isn't it time to let go of me?" she asked, gazing at his handsome face.Alex let go of her and that made her fell to the ground, hitting her butt. "Ouch!" she cried. "It's so easy to help me up instead.""That's what you wanted. You requested for it." He said and walked back to his seat where his robe was lying on.Rielle quickly stood up and her eyes fell on the dragon spitting fire tattoo on his back.Her mouth fell opened, staring at the magnificent work of art. Seeing what she imagined being drawn perfectly was so satisfying."You can stop staring and say what you are here for." He said and picked up his robe.Rielle swallowed hard and looked down. "Well.... well I only have a request. It is not something big.""Just say it!" he said and put on the robe but he
Gemma looked at Rielle from head to toe before her gaze fell on Alex. Seeing how he was dressed, her mouth fell opened and her eyes widened."What..... what is going on here?" she asked."Talking about wrong timing." Rielle mumbled. "My lord, where are you going to dressed like a commoner? You shouldn't be dressed like this. What if your subjects sees you this way? This is embarrassing." she looked at Rielle, "Were you the one who made him wear this cloth? What are you planning on doing?"Rielle tsked, "He is not a child. I wouldn't just carry him up and get him dressed forcefully. Him dressing like this was an agreement."Gemma took her eyes back to Alex. "My lord, are you obeying her now? She should be the one obeying you.""That is enough!" Alex ordered. "What did I tell you about coming here? You are only allowed to come here when I invite you. None of what I do is your business.""What are you saying my lord? You would never talk like this. What have come over you?" She glared a
The city of Amacron wasn't what she was expecting. Could it be the world she developed was way different from the world she was seeing? Or, is it the same way she had imagined? "I expected this city to be dark and all. Like an evil, dark, eerie, desolated kingdom. This is better than I imagined." she sucked her teeth. "This doesn't give the evil werewolves vibe. I should have done better. I will have to change some things here."Alex looked at her and shook his head before he faced the city again. He was getting used to the weird things she says.The forest ends at the tips of a hill and the city was down below the hills. It was well developed with many building. Using his keen sight, Alex could see the busy market.Rielle looked down. "We would have to go down there. But how would we? I don't have a parachute neither do I have any material to make one." she muttered still looking down.She faced Alex abruptly to ask for an idea, but when she saw his eyes on her, she immediately unde
Before her body touched the floor, Alex was able to transform into his wolf form and went down with her.She landed on his back instead but not escaping a scratch."Ouch!" she cried.Due to the impact of the both of them falling into the out, the walls of the pit suddenly collapsed. Seeing the debris falling, Rielle placed her face on the floor with her eyes closed, and used her hand to cover her head, but that wasn't enough to give her body the protection against the falling bricks.Instead of falling on her, Rielle felt nothing on her. She wondered if it stopped and so dropped her hand and looked up.It was dark, but she could see his pair of red eyes. His Alpha's wolf eyes. He was still in his wolf form and standing over her to prevent the bricks from falling on her.Her heart was still throbbing fast from the fall and the thought of death, but staring at Alex, she just couldn't look away."You.....are you?" she kept shut, not able to form any words.Alex transformed back into huma
Rielle stared at the woman, still in shock while Alex had no emotions showing on his face which was usual.She was about to ask further when the woman looked at her leg and gasped. "I apologize for coming late. If only I had arrived earlier, I would have stopped you from falling down the pit.""Wait, wait, wait," Rielle stopped her from talking further. "How do you know all these? What is going on?""Forgive me for not introducing myself." She went on, "I am Doxie. A sorcerer who happened to find solace in here. I was able to foretell your coming and I am here to answer all the questions you need."Rielle knitted her brows as everything doesn't seem right. She walked forward until she was few steps away from Doxie. Alex stood behind watching it all."You do have a lot of nerve coming out when you know Mercury would be here."The young lady looked at Alex and smiled. "It's a pleasure standing before the same man who had helped us through the war." she bowed at him.Rielle glanced at Al
A dark smile crept to Keisha's face as she stared at Rielle with nothing but hostility. "Keisha it is you." Rielle breathed in relief. It wasn't hard to find her after all. "Listen I am here to talk to you about something important. I have limited time so I will be quick." "I have been waiting for you so you listen to me and not me listen to you. You are not the one controlling this place right now."Rielle, not understanding what she meant, walked closer until she was few steps away. "I am trying my best to bring you back right now. I have to speak with you and agree on this with you for me to take you back. I am here for your consent.""I will be going back. I have to go back to my mate."Rielle breathed a sigh of relief. "Finally, I can get this done and end all these."Keisha smirked, "I will be going back but not on your own accord."Rielle frowned. "What do you mean? I am the only one who can take you back.""Are you sure about that? I guess you don't even know what happened t
Standing before them was Rachel, smiling cheekily. "You are finally back home. We waited for so long for you and unfortunately, the dinner is cold now."Rielle was shocked to see her. Did king median sent them back?"What are you doing here?" Alex questioned with no warmth in his voice.Rachel looked at him from head to toe and her mouth fell opened. "What in the world are you wearing?" She asked and smirked, "Did the world changed on my brother or is there something we need to know?"Rielle thought of what Keisha said and wondered if the siblings coming to Alex's house was her doing. If she is the one in control of everything, everything that happens is her doing.She sighed deeply and looked at Alex who spoke next, "You are not welcomed here. You can leave when you are done."Rachel laughed and shook her head. "That is not how this is working today. You should get use to this face now."Rielle contorted her brows as she stared at her in wonder of what she meant."What do you mean?"
"Brother what are you doing?" Rachel asked in panic as she tried to go to them but Elijah held her back."Don't go!" he finally said."What? Why? She is going to die.""For the first time, I agree with what that bastard is doing." he simply said.Rachel took her gaze back to Alex who was also in pain but taking it all in. Of course, he could feel her pain and it was making him go crazy but he didn't let go."Do it Rielle." he called her name for the first time. Rielle, in her unconscious state heard her name. She opened her eyes but was in darkness.The world around her was dark and void of anything. The people who she was with wasn't there anymore."You are the moon goddess and no one else can take that from you. You have the power to create and to destroy. To make and to break. To command and to silence the world. You are the creator." A voice said and with that, a heavy force pushed her out of the darkness and that caused her to jerk awake in her conscious world.Alex still had his
Everything around them seemed to stop as they got caught staring at each other, lost in their gaze.Alex moved his hand from her back and that quickly jerked back her senses to what was going on.She stood up from him in a haste and adjusted her gown. "Sorry about that. I didn't mean to......." she kept shut and bit her lower lips, not knowing how to justify herself. "It was a mistake." she finally said and turned back, back facing him as she was too embarrass to look at him."Shouldn't you go out? I want to sleep.""What did you think happened at the basement when I tried to leave? If I am far from you or out of your sight and reach, it will only end up as danger for the both of us. What happened is just as tip of what would happen if you leave. You made the deal yourself and it has being stamped," he answered tiredly and crossed his legs, shutting his eyes ."What?! You can't possibly stay here with me." she half yelled, trying her best to keep her cool."Well, you made the deal," h
Rielle eyes were shut as she awaited her fate. There was nothing she could do then to accept her fate.After waiting to feel pain, she felt nothing. Well, if he wanted to end her life then he should do it quick but why waste time?She shoot her eyes opened and ready to yell out to him to be quick, but her mouth was left opened and her eyes went round.Alex hand was burning and his face was scrunched up. He was in pain, a lot of pain. Pain he has never felt before in the years he had lived.Rielle stood up still in shocked, wondering what was happening to him while the blade fell from his hand.He looked at her and for the first time, she saw pain. Real pain.He moved back still trying to stop the pain but nothing was happening."Make it stop!" he roared out, causing her to flinch.Serves him right. He tried to kill her anyway.She did nothing but remained on her spot, watching him lose his mind. Seeing she wasn't bulging or trying to help, he walked up to her, ready to force her to do
Rielle pulled away and moved back still with her eyes closed.She prayed silently that what she planned works but deep down, she was scared to open her eyes and still see him in his half dead form.If that happens, then the other option she had is to fall in love with him and he does the same.She inhaled deeply and exhaled afterwards, trying to calm her racing heart even though it did no much good, before she slowly opened her eyes.After taking the big leap of faith, the first sight she caught were the pair of grey misty eyes that got her staring for a while.His eyes were so beautiful that she just wanted to stare all day. His eyelid were like a whole beautiful ethereal universe.How could someone with such beautiful eyes have a heart so darkened and cold?She was quickly jerked out of wondering when he asked, "Not done staring at me?"Finally getting back her senses, she realized that a very good looking, or would she say beautiful man was staring back at her.Her eyes widened at
The royal families along with the elders were all gathered in the throne room just as Rielle predicted.They were on with the current issue of Rielle like always but this time, with more urgency."What should we do now father? We can't lock her up forever in the Atlas." Hermes questioned, obviously worried about her."Father wouldn't harm her. For him to take that decision, he knows what he is doing." Elijah replied. He stood up and faced his father, "What do you want us to do father? We will do anything as long as your plan works." He asked but then Rachel stood up and brought their attentions to her."At this point, I think we should invite the witches over. Won't they have a solution to this?" She suggested."That is going too far my lady. The witches aren't our friends but enemies." one of the elders objected her suggestion immediately."Then what do we do? This concerns the world that has to do with their lives too and not just we werewolves. At this point, we will have to work t
Hours ago......It was midnight and Rielle was jerked out of her sleep when she felt a cold finger, moving over her body.She opened her sleepy eyes and caught the familiar pair of misty grey eyes staring back at her.She knew who he was, but his appearance was different. He was more pale and hideous looking then he had always been.Rielle jumped up and lurched back, almost falling to the ground but she was able to get her body controlled."Why are you here?" She questioned, trying her best to avoid screaming out. He stood up, not taking his eyes from her and replied, "You came into the basement. I should be the one asking why you are here but you might be here for the reason which I talked to you about."Rielle looked around and that was when she noticed where she was. She wasn't in her room but in a place that looked like a shrine with a body lying on the old cranky bed at the end of the wall. The body had a blade stuck in his left chest and his appearance looked so much like that o
Rielle pulled away from the kiss and smiled at him. She fell her head on the pillow and slowly drifted to sleep leaving Elijah to think alone about what happened.Elijah hurriedly stood up and adjusted his cloth. Thankfully she was asleep and he prayed she doesn't remember anything when she wakes up.He felt he cheated on Keisha and his heart was weighed down immediately. Why couldn't he control himself from kissing her?When she asked if she could kiss him, he wanted it. He wanted to have a taste of her succulent lips. He wanted to know what she taste like and that's why he gave in.He has never done such a thing before. Even before Keisha, he was a cold, heartless man, who hated love and women. He just wanted to be alone and rule alone.He thought Keisha would be his last but why was he suddenly doing the things he doesn't want to with Rielle?He sighed deeply and covered her gently with the quilt. He looked at her one more time before he walked out of the room.Debi took a peep fro
Alex vanished before she could start a drama on what he said. She rolled her eyes and sat down, "Always a liar."She leaned back on the wall and closed her eyes as she thought more on what he said. Alex always know how to put her on the edge so easily.If she brings back his body, that would mean bringing back the evil villain that was locked up. The lives of the werewolves would be in danger again.But, as he said, he is the only one that knows the way to take her back. What if it's all a lie? A little voice in her head kept asking repeatedly.What if she finds out about it too late? How was he able to mark her when he was locked away? Was he part of the memory she lost?She had many question to ask but no one to answer. Would Elijah give her the answers to her questions? She wondered but shook her head.Elijah would make a big deal out of it and tell her never to meet with Alex again. She sighed deeply and faced the window, loo
Alex stood by the attic window, watching the werewolves all being hyped up cause of the first moon.He hated it. He hated when the werewolves gather to make a prayer to the moon. The last time he was present during the first moon was when his mother was still alive.She always force him to go with her claiming that he needed to pay homage to the moon goddess. He never did pray to her once and he was glad he didn't. She wasn't powerful after all. He was more powerful than her and have being able to bring her down to his world and make her be under his command.Someone like that shouldn't be prayed to. He frowned when he realized Rielle haven't showed up even though he told her to after the first howl.She was going to disappoint him and he could sense that, but, he wasn't ready to be disappointed. He made up his mind already, if she doesn't show up, he will go to her wherever she was and he wouldn't leave her sight until she agree to go with him.He walked towards the door and pushed
Rielle sat before the mirror as her makeup was done. The maidens who had attended to her in the morning were there again to get her ready for the night.It was almost time for the werewolves to gather outside to make their prayers. The first moon would be out in few minutes.According to the instruction, she would only stand with the royal families while the werewolves make their prayers.Her head was in daze as she still haven't chosen who to go to. To Elijah in the garden or to Alex in the attic?"We are done ma'am." The voice of the maiden brought her back to reality.She looked at her face in the mirror and almost didn't recognize herself. "I look so different. So different in a good way." She stood up and they helped arranged her dress."Is it time yet?""Not yet ma'am, but your presence is needed at the throne room."Rielle went to the throne room just as they said she should. The royal families were all gathered there, all dressed up for the night except King Median, who wasn't
