Felix and Mercedes were sitting across from each other in his office. The situation had stabilized and Alexa was fine but just still unconscious. Earlier, when Felix was about to tell Mercedes the truth about her fate, Crystal and Jacob arrived and interrupted their conversation. Crystal tended to Alexa's wounds and Jacob carried her away to the guest room. Now they were left alone but the tension was thick it could be cut with a knife. Mercedes was waiting on Felix to say something but he was quiet and had his head in his hands. That just made her all the more nervous and anxious. She was suddenly not sure if she wanted to know what Felix had to say. By the state Alexa is in, it looked pretty much serious. Felix on the other hand was struggling as to what to say to her. After a few more minutes of thinking and silence in the office, Felix gathered the courage he needed to finally come clean about the truth. He took a deep breath before he raised his head to look Mercedes in the eye
The tense atmosphere had nearly faded as all of them were now gathered in the living room. Felix was seated on the couch with Mercedes close to his side. He held her close to him as if she would just disappear at any moment. On the other side of the room, Crystal was seated on a single sofa, and Jacob was standing behind her lightly massaging her tense shoulders. Alexa was laying down on the other couch at Crystal's insistence. She had mixed emotions. She barely made it out alive and so many of her friends died at the hands of a monster. For the first time in her life, she was afraid. She didn't know what to say to Felix because she knows that they barely have a fighting chance against Drakoen. Mercedes was still in shock and struggling to wrap her head around everything. It's not a small matter at all. She just learned that the fate of the realm is all on her delicate shoulders. She barely embraced her true self yet and now she has a big problem waiting to happen. It was like a chi
Mercedes woke up and stretched her arms wide open with a yawn. She had a good night's sleep in Felix's arms. Speaking of which, he was already gone. His side of the bed was cold indicating that it's been a while since he woke up and left. Mercedes's eyes fell on the note laying on his pillow. She reached out for it in confusion until she saw what was written on it. " Let's go on a date today. I want to take you somewhere nice so we can forget about our troubles for a little while. Wear something casual. Be ready. I'll pick you up later. I can't wait! "~xoxoMercedes giggled after reading. She thought it was unusual and cute. He probably didn't know but just being with him brought her the biggest joy in her life. But the little things he does also give her butterflies and warmth. The awkwardness between them was slowly but surely fading away. She placed the note away and began her daily routine. She went inside the bathroom and began to strip her clothes. Once she was done she went
Mercedes woke up from deep slumber. When her eyes opened she was still groggy but she suddenly remembered that she had a date. Her eyes immediately landed on the wall clock which read 5:50 PM. Feeling refreshed as certainly getting some rest had served its purpose she immediately got out of bed and dashed to the bathroom. She wanted to take a quick shower to remove all negative energy from her body. The ominous energy of an evil being she felt still lingered on her body, she neede to remove it so she can go on the date and enjoy it without feeling weighed down. She hastily peeled off her dress and entered the shower. As the warm water cascaded down her body she felt her tense muscles loosen up. She moaned in appreciation as she gently scrubbed her body clean. Once she was done she reached out for a towel and wrapped it around her body. She went to her room to put on some scented body lotion. She decided to put on some light makeup which luckily she got upon Crystal's insistence. Mer
No. They didn't have wild and passionate sex after confessing their love for each other. They pulled themselves together and prepared to go out as planned. Felix took out one of his many cars that have been in the garage on display to take out his lady. While he was busy bringing the car in front, Alexa got ahold of Mercedes when she was on her way out starting her when she pulled her into the kitchen. " What's wrong?" Mercedes asks confused. Alexa blankly stares at her before saying," You are going to an unprotected territory. Will you be okay?" Mercedes looked away from her and sighed. " I don't know. What can I do? I will just hope that nothing happens when we are out."" I don't think you should go out anymore. Tell Felix about this and let's see what to do about it," Alexa suggested seriously. She was having a bad feeling like what happened earlier was not the end of things. " No! We can't tell Felix anything, please," she begged desperately grabbing onto Alexa's hands. " I do
" Where are we going now?" Mercedes asked. They left the restaurant a while ago and Felix promised to bring her back some other time after she expressed to him how much she enjoyed the food. Now they were off to the amusement park in town. Felix heard the was fair and he decided to go there with Mercedes. He didn't tell her because he wanted it to be a surprise. Initially, he wants to go to the movie theater but after finding out about the fair, he thought that would be better. " You'll find out when we get there, okay? I promise that you will like it," he says to her and she flops down her seat sulking. She couldn't wait to find out where they were going but she trusted Felix's judgment. If he says she is going to like it then she surely will. No doubt about it. This time it didn't take long and they were already there. This time, Mercedes was in awe of all and she got out of the car herself as soon as Felix parked the car. She was like a little girl amazed by a jar of colorful cand
" The story everyone has heard about the White Wolves is.. true some details have been left out," the old woman began piquing Felix's interest. He was still weary of the nameless old woman but something inside urged him to give her his attention. Mercedes has fallen asleep on his shoulder and he wrapped his arm around her waist securely. The old woman told him that it was nothing of concern. Mercedes would wake up in some time. " So what is the true story?" Felix asked looking into the eyes of the old woman trying to catch if he is lying. " As you know, the White Wolves were the first of the werewolf generation. They were blessed by the Moon Goddess with immense power as well as wisdom. They lived peacefully with little conflict but that all changed with the power struggle. With White Wolves being on top of the supernatural food chain every other supernatural creature wanted a taste of that power. The first is Drakoen, the mage of darkness. He was just a mere mage who wanted to be s
" Don't worry," she says sweetly before taking his hand in hers. There was an unfamiliar sparkle in her eyes that could light up the room. " I am still the same person you know. Nothing has changed. My heart beats for you," she added taking his hand and placing it on her chest where her heart beats. Felix felt a steady heartbeat. Felix closed his eyes and concentrated on the rhythm of her heart He connected with it and let it guide his heart to hers. " Do you feel it?" she asks while he still has his eyes closed. He opens them and smiles before saying," Yes, I do." Mercedes had not said anything to Felix but she felt different now she was conscious to a greater extent of her past. Remembering everything that she went through in her previous life was an eye-opener. She now understood why she had to be the one to defeat Drakoen. This was truly het fight no matter how much she hated it. But now she was worried about everything. She didn't want to fail and see all of her people die once
Now that Felix was fine, Mercedes felt concerned about the pack members who were injured in the altercation with Drakoen. Now that she knows the power her blood holds, she couldn't just use it to her benefit. She had to help everyone who was hurt because she felt responsible for what happened to them. Drakoen hurt them because of her. It made her heart ache that because of her, everyone she loves and cares about will always be in danger as long as Drakoen lives. " Alexa, I have a question," Mercedes announces catching everyone's attention. " Yes. What is it?" Alexa asks. " Since we found out that my blood can heal, I wanted to know if there are any limits." Alexa looked at her in confusion. " What do you want to do?" " I want to go out and help heal all the injured pack members. It's the least I can do for them," she replied with her voice full of sorrow. Felix grabbed her hand and squeezed it. " It's not your fault my love. It's so thoughtful of you to want to heal them
After what Alexa said before passing out, Mercedes, Jake, and Crystal made their guesses on what she meant about her blood that can heal. Mercedes had Jake get her a dagger. She stood beside Felix. She looked back and Crystal and Jake both nodded their heads at her. Mercedes took a breath. She held out her palm and sliced through it with the dagger in her hand. She winced feeling pain. The pain quickly subsided. Her blood oozed out and she closed her hand and let the blood drip on Felix's lips. The blood seeped into his mouth. With just that, all of them couldn't determine if the blood was working. The was pin drop silence as all watched to see if Felix would show any reaction to her blood. A few minutes had passed without anything happening. Mercedes was on the verge of losing hope. She looked down and dejected. But then suddenly, Felix bolted up and gasping for air. Everyone gasped in shock seeing this. It was like Felix had been revived from the dead. Jake and Crystal came for
Amaya. I thought I would never hear you talk of that name," said an unfamiliar voice to Mercedes. Alexa turned to see Isadora. The head of the Academy and her nemesis. " Did your elders never teach you that eavesdropping is impolite?" Alexa asked snidely glaring at Isadora who was just smirking. " Forgive my impoliteness, dear Alexa. It was not at all my intention." " Alright. Don't mind me and my friend here. Move along." Mercedes just stood there not understanding the hostility between them. Alexa turned to her and grabbed her hand attempting to get away from Isadora before her mood got spoiled. " Stop being childish Alexa. It's beneath you. For how long are you going to keep up this attitude of yours towards me? We are not young anymore. Besides, you come and go from here so we'll have to see each other like it or not." Alexa was getting infuriated by just hearing her talk. The tension between them goes way back. They were actually the best of friends until Isadora bruta
Mercedes went over to the window of the classroom to get a closer look. Everyone in the class didn't take notice of her standing there. She watched as the girls paid attention to their teacher in front of them. The woman looked not much older than the girls. She was fair skinned, had unique violet eyes, and a long black hair that cascaded behind her like a waterfall. She was simply beautiful. Mercedes couldn't help but be in awe of her. She felt insecure just to be in her presence. The woman uttered words incoherent to Mercedes to perform a spell. Suddenly a flame formed out of her palm. The girls were awed and equally astonished as Mercedes was. She had not seen anything like that. While glued to the window of the classroom someone tapped her shoulder from behind. Mercedes looked behind her to see Alexa standing before her. " Alexa!" she exclaimed. A sense of relief washed over her. She was frantically looking for Alexa all this while but she got distracted by the class. " Where
Mercedes woke up inside a room. Her head was slightly ringing as she sat up. She didn't remember what happened to her. She held her head in her hands and tried to ease her pain. Alexa came inside and found her awake. She sighed and felt relieved. It's been 2 days since the incident. The was nothing Alexa could do to wake her up. It was up to Mercedes to wake up. It would have been bad if something happened to her. " Mercedes, you are awake!" she exclaimed placing a tray of food in her hands on the table and going to sit next to her on the bed. Mercedes looked at her in confusion and asked, " What happened? I-I don't remember what happened after we got to Alvira. Everything is hazy and my head hurts so bad." Alexia placed her hand on her back and stroked her lightly. " It's okay. Take it slowly. There is no need to push yourself. Relax," Akexa coerced sweetly. Mercedes tried taking deep breaths and cleared her mind. She turned to look at Alexa. " How long was I out for?" Alexa lo
It was time to leave. Felix helped Mercedes pack everything she needs to leave. It broke his heart but it was something that must be done. There had to be separated for some time but Felix knew that it was going to feel like an eternity without her. Mercedes kept stealing glances at him. He seemed to be sulking and lost in thought. She felt bad to be leaving him behind as well but there is nowhere out. She sighed and suppressed her emotions. Once they were done packing, Felix carried her bags and they joined the others downstairs. " Do you have everything you need?" Alexa asks Mercedes. "Yes, I do," she replies. Crystal comes forward and takes Mercedes's hand. Everyone looks at her as she put an amulet on her hand. It was a crystal-like amulet " I have been wanting to give you this amulet for some time. Right now felt like the perfect time to do it," Crystal says to her. Mercedes looks at the amulet and tears come to her eyes. " I had Alexa work her magic on it. I hope it will
Mercedes and Felix were lying in bed when they felt the morning breeze blow inside their room. Felix stirred in his sleep but didn't wake up and just held tighter to Mercedes's body. Mercedes woke up still half asleep and realized that she was naked in bed and Felix was pressed up behind her. He below felt deliciously sore as she pressed her thighs together to try and ease up the pain. She smiled to herself and embraced the breeze that kissed their bodies. She placed her hand on his hand around her waist. The thought visited the night before when she surrendered to him completely. She felt sore on her neck when she tried to crane it and she touched the area where Felix had marked. She wondered what her mark looked like. She had fallen unconscious so she couldn't mark him too. She wanted to complete their home before she left for Alvira. The mere thought of parting with him made her very sad. She was reluctant to leave even though she tried to convince herself that it was the right th
Felix had lost control. His wolf was now surface and in control of the body. Mercedes noticed by his eyes that had turned dark. She cupped his face and caressed his cheek. " Roland. Is that you?" she asks breathlessly. " Yes, it's me, mate! Long time no see," he smirked. Mercedes was suddenly nervous but excited at the same time. It was a mixed feeling. " Long time it is," she responded with a small smile as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear shyly looking everywhere but at him. He grabbed her chin roughly but not enough to hurt her, compelling her to look him in the eye. " I am dying to ravage you all night long until you are satiated and spent. I want to sink my teeth into your sweet slender neck to mark you as my own. You don't know how much I have been trying to keep it together and not rip this human apart for complete control," he said referring to Felix. Mercedes was perplexed at his crude choice of words but heck, she was not complaining. She had a feeling that he
After spending some time with the pack members, it was time to go back home. They arrived and Felix insisted on preparing dinner. He said he wanted to feed himself so Mercedes couldn't dare deny him that. She sat at the table and watched him do all the work. He rolls the sleeves of his shirt up showing his veined manly forearms. Mercedes was caught up in a daze of admiration for her mate.He chopped the vegetables and began cooking. In no time, it was already smelling delicious and that is when Mercedes's stomach grumbled catching Felix's attention. " Are you that hungry?" Felix asks teasing Mercedes who was already embarrassed. " Yes. I could eat a person," std teases back, licking her lips provocatively. Felix stunned, cleared his throat, and decided to look away from her. Waking up the beast in him at the moment was not a good idea. Mercedes giggled at his expense. " Alright. Dinner will be ready in no time. No need to be impatient," he says. " In the meantime. Would you like a
