KLAY ROSE"That's a nice pendant you have, Ms. Klay Rose Green." He smiled, looking at my pendant. "Thanks." I said, keeping a slight smile as his presence is somehow building a different sensation in my body. My bite marks, which were supposed to be healed, seem like it's hurting again. I felt like vomiting and I don't know why. Is this because of the power he holds as the lycan king? "It's nice to meet you." I bowed down, controlling my heartbeat because I am sure he can hear it. "Uhm, thank you for letting us stay here." "It's my pleasure, Ms. Green." He meaningfully said, like Green wasn't what he was supposed to call me. "I need to go and check the kids." I quickly ran away from the scene, catching my breath as I reached the hall where the kids were playing. As I watched them, they seemed to be okay yet deep inside I know that they are thinking, especially Missy whom we never got to talk to after what happened. She was sitting quietly in the corner. Philip was trying to t
KLAY ROSE"Marry me."I blinked. I looked into his eyes, trying to see if he's just joking or not. All I can see is sincerity."Are you saying that because you are my mate?" I raised my brow. "Let's skip that part, Rozen. We are not the same.""I am saying this because I love you."I stopped. That sounded so romantic and sweet, I wanted to cling on his neck and kiss him, only that I wasn't sure of its consequences."You love me because I am your mate." I said again, trying to reject everything he proposed just because I am scared of what lies ahead."Oh, I love you because you are you. And, I don't know how I am supposed to make you believe, but trust me..." He held my hand and kissed the back of my palm. "Klay, marry me.""Marry you and then what?" I said, jumping into conclusion. "I am considering what will happen after marrying you. Look, I am a human...and out there is your half-brother wanting to kill me because I am your mate. That is why I am telling you that you should reject
KLAY ROSE*Beep beep*I immediately found my phone inside my pocket but it was already too late as the men already heard us. Rozen told me to stay in the corner while he waited for the men to come after him.“Who’s there?” The man spoke, his footsteps coming near us. I managed to put my phone in silence, however, it was Micah who was calling me. She called again and I am reluctant to answer but she might be in danger considering the sun had already set and there are these men outdoors waiting for us.“Come and show yourself. We will not hurt you.” The man spoke again.My intention was diverted to my phone when Micah answered, “Help me!” She was screaming.Before I could say something, Rozen lifted me up and we jumped on the window. He was running too fast while he carried me until we stopped halfway.“We need to find Micah…” I said, already panicking. “She might be in danger right now…she is asking for help—” I paused when he told me to stop as he listened to the noises.“We’re not a
KLAY ROSE“Do you know him?” Rozen was shocked, looking at me and Micah.“He is your half-brother?” I raised my brow, not believing what I just saw. I blinked. It’s still Trevor standing in front of me.“I am asking if you know him?” Rozen yelled his voice for the first time. I felt scared as his eyes darkened. “How did you know him?”“I am his first love.” Trevor said, laughing a bit. He looked at me. “Did you miss me?”“Is it true?” Rozen asked. He closed his fist and I could sense that he’s getting mad right now.“How…” I shook my head. “You are a Lycan…”“Lycan King…” He specified. “You…” I pointed at him.Micah was the one who continued what I wanted to say. “Did you kill them?”“Micah, you might want to specify whom I killed.” He smirked, looking at both of us. “Aren’t you going to give your older brother a hug? Come on, we used to play in the woods back then.”“Back before you left us!” I shouted, showing him remorse. “You left us…and we almost died!” I cursed at him and he ju
KLAY ROSEUgh! My head was spinning when I woke up. I rolled over the bed, feeling what's next to me until I remembered what happened.I instantly opened my eyes and feared that there's still danger. So, I sighed with relief after seeing that I was in a room. I caressed my head as I straightened up my back. It was when I noticed his presence."Rozen..." I whispered, my eyes still adjusting to the lights. He was standing in a glass wall where the rays of the sunlight were coming through."Is he your first love?" He asked."Huh?" I creased my brow, not processing the information."Is he your first love?" He asked again. It was after a few seconds of my brain processing the information that I realized what he's been asking me."Trevor?" I raised my brow. "Why are you suddenly asking me that? Shouldn't you be supposed to tell me what happened after I stabbed him?""I killed him.""What?" I asked in a high pitched sound that made him darkened his face. "You mean to say he is dead?" I blin
KLAY ROSEI asked Missy to go with me in my room so I could talk to her after she showed me some of her art. I've known that she loves drawing and painting, but it never occurred to me that those arts will have a symbol connected to what's coming to us."Missy, listen to me. How did you know these arts? What did you see in your dreams?" I showed her the paintings.It's the first time I saw it yet it felt like I had seen these symbols before. I am not sure but it looks like it has part of me as images started flashing in my mind."Did it trigger your memories, Sister Klay?" It was Missy, but it's not like her. Her voice became more distinct and mature. "Are you familiar with these symbols?""Missy, what are you?" I massaged my head, covering my ears as it started ringing.Oh, gosh! I almost wanted to vomit while Missy just looked at me."The prophecy is you." She said to me."What? Missy...what's happening to you—" I started screaming when she put pressure on the scar on my back."This
KLAY ROSE"Are you sure about this, Klay?" Sister Rizza asked me. "We are safer in Rozen's house than here in the school."I shook my head. "But, the kids will not grow up normally if we stay there. I am sorry if I am making these decisions as if I am the head of the covenant, but that place was full of werewolves. What if during the full moon, they cannot control themselves?""How about you? Where are you going to stay?" She asked. "Are you sure it is safe to stay in Micah? You both might be in danger considering that it's Trevor.""I still hope Trevor will not hurt me." I hugged Sister Rizza. "I will visit everyday."Sister Mary came out after making sure the kids were already inside their rooms. The owner of the day care center agreed on letting sisters and the kids stay in the school grounds for a while."Klay, you have to take care of yourself. They are after you." She held my hand."Do you think this has something to do with my family?" I curiously asked.Sister Rizza fixed the
KLAY ROSE"You mean, this library was burned during that time?" I clarified to her."Not this, but the local library where they put all the history books of this place." She told me while she was arranging the books."Where is the local library you are referring to?" I raised my brow. "There's a lot of local libraries here.""I am referring to the library in the Old Town." She told me. "Aren't you aware that the Old Town used to be the capital two decades ago until the accident happened?""Ah, yeah." I pretended I knew about it but I am not really familiar with it except that there's a massive fire on the day I was born.Hearing this, I realized that it could be the work of the lycan. People would definitely have a lot of stories to tell not knowing the truth. But, if I am correct, this was during the war between Scarlet and Crimson Pack. And, it's now continuing.I checked my time. It's still quarter before one in the afternoon. I still have time to go to the Old Town and come back i
ROZENI woke up to find myself chained to a wall. I couldn't move my arms or legs, and I had no idea how I got here. As I looked around, I realized that I was in a dimly lit room with only one small window that allowed a faint light to seep in.Suddenly, the door creaked open and my father walked in, his eyes filled with anger and disappointment. I knew why he was here. He didn't want me to save Klay, the one person I loved more than anything in the world."Father, please let me go. I need to save her," I pleaded with him.He just shook his head, "No, Rozen. You're too important to the pack. We can't risk losing you over a human."I couldn't believe what I was hearing. My father, the one who taught me to be kind and compassionate, was willing to let Klay die just to protect the pack's interests."You don't understand, Father. Klay is different. She's not like other humans. She's my mate," I said, trying to make him understand the depth of my feelings for her.My father's expression so
KLAY ROSEAs I opened my eyes, I realized it was just a dream. A nightmare, actually. My heart was racing, and my breathing was heavy. I looked around the dimly lit room and took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down.I got up from the bed and walked towards the window. The moon was shining bright, and the stars were twinkling in the sky. It was a beautiful night, and I felt a sense of peace wash over me. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.But as I opened my eyes, reality hit me like a ton of bricks. I was still a prisoner, and there was no one to rescue me. I sighed heavily and walked back to the bed, feeling defeated.Trevor entered the room with a tray of food. "Good morning, Klay," he said with a smirk.I glared at him. "What do you want from me, Trevor?" I asked, my voice laced with anger."I want you to accept my offer, Klay," he said, placing the tray on the table."I will never accept your offer," I said firmly.Trevor shrugged. "Suit yourself. But remember, I hold a
KLAY ROSEI sat in the corner of the small, dark room, feeling hopeless and defeated. Trevor had been holding me hostage for what seemed like forever, and I had no idea if anyone was looking for me. I tried to stay strong and keep my head up, but with each passing day, my hope began to fade.Trevor would come in every so often to check on me and offer me food and water, but I never accepted it. I couldn't bring myself to eat or drink anything that he offered me, knowing that it was all part of his plan to keep me weak and submissive.As I sat there, I heard footsteps outside the door, and my heart began to race with excitement and fear. Could it be someone coming to save me? Or was it just Trevor coming to taunt me again?The door creaked open, and my heart sank as Trevor walked in with a smug grin on his face. "No one's coming for you, Klay," he said, his voice dripping with malice. "You're all alone, and you always will be."I gritted my teeth and glared at him, refusing to let him
ROZENI groaned in pain as I slowly regained consciousness. My eyes fluttered open to darkness, and it took a moment for them to adjust. I tried to move, but a sharp pain shot through my body, causing me to hiss in pain. I remembered the attack at the wedding, and the last thing I remembered was being hit by one of Trevor's wolves.I tried to assess my injuries, but I couldn't even move my head. I was paralyzed, and the realization hit me hard. I was completely helpless. I tried to shout for help, but my voice came out as a hoarse whisper."Hello? Is anyone there?" I called out, but there was no response.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. I needed to think clearly and come up with a plan. I couldn't just sit here and wait for someone to rescue me. I had to find a way to escape.I forced myself to stay calm and focused. My mind raced as I tried to remember everything I knew about Trevor and his pack. I knew they had a hideout deep in the forest, and t
KLAY ROSEI couldn't believe it. Just as I was walking down the aisle, ready to start a new life with Rozen, Trevor and his pack of werewolves appeared, ready to ruin everything. Micah and the kids were screaming in terror, and chaos broke out.I drew my sword, ready to defend myself and my loved ones. Rozen stood beside me, holding his own sword, his eyes filled with determination."Trevor, what do you want?" I shouted at him, my voice shaking with anger and fear."I want you, Klay," he replied, a sinister grin spreading across his face. "You're the key to unlocking the power of the lycans. With you by my side, I'll be unstoppable."I felt a surge of disgust at his words. I would never ally myself with someone as evil as Trevor."You'll never have me, Trevor," I spat at him. "I'll fight you with every last breath in my body."We clashed swords, sparks flying in every direction. Rozen joined in the fight, battling against the other werewolves that Trevor had brought with him.As we fo
KLAY ROSEThe day of our wedding was fast approaching, and Rozen and I were busy with the preparations. Micah and the kids were there to help us, too. It was going to be a small wedding, just close friends and family, but we still wanted it to be perfect.Micah was in charge of the decorations and she did an amazing job. The beachfront was adorned with beautiful flowers and ribbons, giving it a dreamy and romantic ambiance. The kids, on the other hand, helped us with the food and the cake. It was a lot of work, but we all had fun doing it together.As I was getting ready, I couldn't help but feel nervous. I knew I was marrying the love of my life, but I couldn't shake off the feeling of worry. What if something bad happens? What if Rozen's father attacks again? What if we can't protect ourselves and the kids?Rozen noticed my unease and came up to me, taking my hands in his. "Hey, what's wrong?" he asked, looking at me with concern."I'm just worried, Rozen," I admitted, looking into
KLAY ROSEI was sitting on the couch, reading a book when Rozen came in and whispered in my ear, "Get dressed, we're going out tonight." I looked up and saw the excitement in his eyes. I couldn't resist but to smile and get ready for whatever surprise he had planned for me.I dressed up in my favorite black dress, and Rozen picked me up at our doorstep. He blindfolded me and took me to an unknown location. I could hear the sound of waves and the breeze of the ocean. He guided me to a spot, and when he removed the blindfold, I saw a table set up on the sand, with candles lit up around it. It was like a scene from a romantic movie.I sat down and looked at him, amazed by the effort he put into this surprise. He had cooked all my favorite dishes, and the aroma of the food filled my nose. As we were enjoying our meal, he started playing a guitar and sang a song that he had written for me. I couldn't believe that he had written a song for me, and as he sang, my eyes started to well up with
KLAY ROSEI woke up to the sound of urgent knocking on the door. I groggily made my way to the door and opened it to see Micah's worried face. "Klay, the kids and the sisters are being attacked by werewolves!" she said, panting.My heart sank at her words. "What?! Where? Are they okay?" I asked, my mind racing."They're at the abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town. We need to go now," she said, pulling me towards the door.I quickly got dressed and Rozen joined us as we hurried towards the warehouse. As we got closer, I could hear the sounds of a struggle and my heart started pounding in my chest. I ran towards the entrance and saw the sisters and the kids huddled in a corner, with a group of werewolves surrounding them.I didn't hesitate and charged towards them, my powers flaring up. Rozen was right behind me, and together we took on the werewolves, trying to protect the innocent ones.The battle was intense and grueling, but we managed to defeat the werewolves with our combi
KLAY ROSEI was lying down on the bed, staring at the ceiling as Rozen was sitting next to me, holding my hand. It has been a few days since the incident with Rozen’s father and we were both still recovering from our injuries. The atmosphere in the room was tense and quiet, neither of us wanting to break the silence.I turned to look at Rozen and saw that he was deep in thought, his brows furrowed. I knew he was probably thinking about his father and what had happened, but I didn’t want to bring it up and make things worse.Instead, I squeezed his hand and said, “Hey, you don’t have to think about anything right now. Just rest with me.”Rozen looked at me and gave a small smile, “Thanks, Klay. I’m just glad you’re okay.”“I’m okay because you were there to protect me,” I replied, giving his hand another squeeze.We stayed like that for a while, just holding hands and enjoying each other’s company. It was in moments like this that I realized how much Rozen meant to me, and how much I l
