The two of them say nothing to each other. Instead, they just stare at the lake. Minute after minute, hour after hour passes, and they are silent.

After a while, Emilia looks at Milan. “Don’t you have something else to do besides sitting here with me?” She asks.

“I cleared my schedule.” Milan tells her.

“I see.” Emilia says and looks away.

“I really want us to go horseriding together, why are you punishing me by refusing?” Milan asks.

Emilia says nothing.

“You are clearly still mad at me.” Milan points out. “I can see that you are punishing me for my actions.” He says.

“I am glad you can see that.” Emilia replies.

“So, the daffodils are not even going to save me?” He asks with a smile.

“No.” Emilia says and keeps atring at the lake. “Why do you want to go horseriding with me?” She asks Milan.

‘Because I want you to be free.” Milan answers.

Emilia scoffs. “Free? Free?” She asks incredulously.

“Yes, free.” Milan replies.

    57Emilia starts to fume. “What do you mean, and why the hell are you arrogant?” She asks Milan.“I am just so sure that you are reasonable, Emilia. I saw that in you a long time ago, most especially when we were both in the woods together, and I told you that you could be in so much danger if you stayed in the woods on your own.” Milan says.Emilia glares at him and shakes her head internally. This guy does not even know shit about her; he does not know half of what she is capable of.Well, it is a good thing that he does not- it will make him definitely let his guard down just when she needs it to be down.“Fine.” She says.“Good girl,” Milan mutters under his breath.“What did you just say?” Emilia asks.“Nothing. I said, ‘thank you’.” Milan says.They both keep riding, and although this is the first time Emilia is riding a horse, she seems proficient at it.

    (Backstory) : Age of annihilationDuring the 19th century in the wasteland, laid the kingdom of powerful werewolves with each battling for dominance over the other, and the humans, with smitten quest to exterminate the wolf race, in fear that someday they would take over the mantle of leadership of the world as against their belief of normalcy.Firstly, the humans were in search of the white wolves to capture for experimental purposes, after which they were slaughtered and discarded with the sense that they were unique breeds, and were very assertive. Humans worried they might one day take over the rulership of the world, thereby bringing the humans under subordination. Soon the white wolves went into extinction, leaving the humans more significant.After the Passover of the white wolves era, came the tribe of the Salandus Adridas. They were a group of wolves that could only transform during a particular blood full moon. That wasn't the precarious thing about them. The scariest part i

    EIGHTEEN YEARS LATER"Mama, when would Papa come back from the council?" Inquired little Emilia, a red hair green-eyed vixen, and her parent's heartthrob, being the only kid they had yet. Her little hands kneaded the piece of dough on the flat board, the swishy sound produced from the surface, gave certain satisfaction to her, as she persistently massaged the unfortunate grub, even as the dough was ready.Her mother, the quaint Luna of Blue moon crested pack, smiled and looked up from the bowl of egg she was whisking, "he would soon be back, Emy, I know you miss him""Aye, mama, I do" Emilia flipped the dough up and it landed flat on the board, the action eliciting laughter from herself and her mother. "I think it's ready now" she conceded, pointing at the helpless object of her amusement."I think it is indeed" her mother confirmed, motioning with her soiled finger at the baking pan hanging at the base of the wall," can you pass me that and also the chopper, I need to hasten with t

    She kept running, her sharp green eyes scouring through the deep forest, the very distinct snapping of the twigs beneath her precise legs, leading her far from the hunters that were determined to catch her by all means.Her breaths came in pants as she stole another look behind her, her incredibly heightened senses taking note of the distance between her and the three men and a lady that had lost her like the wind. So she thought.Sighting the place she has come to call home almost close by, and not wanting them to see it, she took another course leading to the fountain by the cliff, her ears picking up the far gushing waters burrowing through the ground, and the smell of the dwellers of the blue depths, her serenity.She paused, bending over, her hand going to her chest, her heavy mass of red tresses falling over her face, to cover her vision. Flipping her spongy ridiculously long hair away from her face, she realized in a bit, that she was impressively very thirsty.Deciding hopeful

    Lycanking?The question rang in her head as she thought about his query. She has heard about the Lycans when she was little from her Papa who would often come to her nursery to teach her a little part of their history every night before she closed her eyes in slumber.They were very powerful kind of wolves and were said to be immortals as averse to their kind. From what her Dad told her, they were not found among themselves the werewolves but seen to occupy territories far from theirs, and were seen as direct reincarnates of the goddess favorites. Humans once tried to exterminate them but had given up due to their large population.Why would he be asking her about the Lycans?The scrawny lad flickered two fingers on her face to bring back her awareness that seemed to have wandered "From your expression I reckon you might have something to share" he slurred, taking cognizance of her bewildered expression."Why do you think I have?" she shifted on the ground, her sizable behind starting

    The palace of the Lycan King, Wales. "Your father made me promise to make sure you are of sound mind and judgment, Wales," Zane the right-hand man and Beta to the Lycan King, Mazmilan, popularly called Milan by the chits, said. They were in the great study at the palace.Milan rolled his eyes from where he was seated, his hand suspended with the snifter of ale perched in it. From his countenance, one can tell that he was massively bored of having this discussion. "Are you done, Zane?" He slurred dryly. "To be honest with you my dear friend, I need to be laid." He drawled in mischief, taking a smooth sip of his brown booze."Laid? Laid? I will dismiss your request as mere demand aimed at getting me riled up, Your highness""You know I hate when you call me that," Chirped Milan, about to lose his mind with grumpy Zane."Exactly my point. I need you to recognize that is who you are. A King! These women would only drown you, leaving you an em.....""Enough, Zane!" Milan lifted his hand,

    She was still against him, her teeth deep in his neck, waiting for him to die_which was the normal thing that happened when her kind is to bite any creature, but to her dismay, she could still feel his pulse, the sound of his heartbeat and the astounding questions roaring through his head.She stopped short and lifted her head, meaning to jump off and run but immediately her head was up, Milan used the chance she was least expecting and tackled her to her back with him coming to the top. He grabbed her two hands and placed them above her head, ignoring her wide disturbed eyes or the way the action made her chemise-free bosom heft up to his face. "Who are you?" He asked with steel in his voice."Get away from me, you bloody son of a bitch!" She thrashed, almost making him lose balance. This girl is wild and if not for his powers and how strong he is, she would thrash his mouth to the floor like before. But, he would rather be throttled by his horse than a mere female.

    Very slowly the next morning, Emilia jerked awake from the bed, her sharp blue eyes widening, and at the same time, she winced and recoiled from the sharp light that greeted her eyes. Gradually, she removed the hand she used in shielding her eyes and regarded her environment, recognizing a distinct difference between where she is now from her abode where she has settled for the past nine years of her life."What in holy..." She jostled to a kneeling position and began touring her eyes around the posh mattress she was on top of, her fingers grabbing the fluffy quilt beneath them and giving them an unbelievable tug.How did she get here? She strained her thoughts to the past event that took place in her life, already used to waking up most times in unfamiliar territories. But not one as lavish as this one. Then like a bang was smacked on her head, she gasped and fell to her butt as the face of the cherubic man she met yesterday flooded her senses. "That son of a gun!" She breathed and h

"But from what I see, it seems to have worsened from the past."No word from Emilia. In fact, the only word she had said in this class was to greet Mrs. Worthington when she came into the room."You might need a ladies ' pamphlet to aid you.""What!" The first word Emilia was uttering. "Why do I need a pup's pamphlet? I am an adult!""Then behave like one, Young Ms. You hardly show any motivation for wanting to learn, demanding I do all I can to make sure you are on point with my admonitions.""Well, why not quit?"
