The weeks I spent with Landon after the wedding felt like the happiest moments of my life. I was afraid though. It was ironic that I felt afraid in the middle of happiness, but I guess it really goes that way. When you are too happy, you would want that moment to never end because of course people always prefer to be happy, right? That’s where the fears start. You would fear that the moment will end. And I wasn’t an exception. In the middle of my so good happiness, I got afraid that our happy moments will soon end.True enough, I realized that everything does have an ending, and that one should brace himself when he feels so much happiness because no one knows what is waiting for you after it.And on my case, I thought I already have my happy ending because that was what I felt with Landon, but I was wrong. It was proven that when you are happy the most, that’s when you could become vulnerable the most. What makes someone vulnerable? Fears. The desire for happiness. Family. Love.“Dri
After one month…As soon as I got out of bed I immediately felt nauseous. I quickly run towards the bathroom. I grabbed my hair and vomited on the sink.Early in the morning this is what happened. So I couldn't help but doubt that Lili's suspicion was true. From what I've heard, pregnant women sometimes have morning sickness.I heard the bathroom door open, I no longer bothered to look back because I was busy vomiting. No one enters my room without asking for permission first except Carter."Baby," his voice was soft.I thought he already left last night but here he is, fueling my irritation again."Why are you here? Get out! I don't need you here! You should leave me!"I tried to get out but he just blocked me. With our body's closeness, I can smell his manly perfume. I inhaled his scent. It's so fragrant I feel like I want to smell you all night.But I tried to ignore the feeling of wanting to hug and smell him all day."Don't block my way, Carter!"He sighed. A ghost of smile plast
Everleigh's POVOne would really doubt if he would know my history and how I ended up lying on the sacrificial table voluntarily as an offering for whatever ritual this is. The night after I came to see Alec is the month's full moon—the day of the ritual. Alec must be so happy that I am finally making his dream come true. I could see it in his eyes. Though, I could also see that he felt not the least bit of remorse for what is about to happen. All I could see in his eyes is pure excitement, joy and nothing else. He will never regret this for sure. He has no conscience.On the other hand, I know how Elizabeth would feel if she would wake up in another person's body who looks exactly like her and know that for her to come back, she needed to kick out the poor girl's soul out of her own body so she can replace it. She would feel real bad for sure. She would despise Alec more than what she did before. She would also despise herself for being the cause of it all. She would hurt and I doubt
Tears of joy rolled down my cheeks when I read what is written in the invitation delivered to me. Landon, who was carrying our little girl in his arms, went to me with an alarmed face when he saw my expression.“What is wrong?”I shook my head and smiled. “I’m just happy.”“Happy about what?”His eyes drifted to the invitation card I was holding.“Carter is getting married?” His gaze went back to me and I saw his worried face as if something is wrong with me, or that I feel bad about it and he wants to comfort me or something.“Yes.” Whoever this Lea Da Vinci is, I am happy that she filled the hollow part in Carter’s heart. He is such a good man and I have been waiting for this day to come. For him to be finally happy again. For him to be loved again the way he deserves to be. And I feel so glad that I couldn’t help but burst to tears.“You are upset because he’s getting married,” Landon stated in a calm voice as if he understood clearly that I love another man aside from him.“No! I
“No, Ophelia. You can’t go,” Demitri told me with firm voice when I insisted that I should go fight with them.“But—”He shut me up by putting his index finger on my lips.“No buts. Please, you are pregnant with our child for Pete’s sake. I don’t want to put you in danger. Stay here and wait for my return. We will be back shortly after we are done with that bastard Ren Lancaster,” he promised and muttered a curse. Utmost lividity was evident in his dark sea-green eyes at the mention of the man’s name.Ren Lancaster is now the one who holds Frostville, a kingdom at the south near the werewolves’ kingdom. After raising rebellion and killing the king, he proclaimed himself as the new king. At that time, David was there and he protected the princess he was fond of. But with Ren’s dark magic, the people in Frostville were no match to him.Ren has also mastered the power of man
I leaped and attacked Ren aggressively. Raja followed my move, probably thinking that he should finish Ren off before I lay my hands on him. But to my surprise, the hall’s floor turned to ice and I heard another growl, from an unfamiliar dragon this time. An ice dragon went in and attacked Raja. I saw how Ren smirked with satisfaction etched in his eyes, so I figured that the dragon must be his.“Surprised, sweetheart? You see, I am also a dragon summoner. The two of us are the same. We fit for each other. I guess it’s what they call destiny?”“Destiny, you fool! What did you do to them?! Where is Demitri?!” I yelled and lifted my hand in the air. My blazing sword appeared and I held onto it tightly as I sauntered forward.I lashed my sword in the air, creating waves of fire, but he blocked it so fast with his wind blades.“I heard you are pregnant? One month? Two? It’s not visible yet so I wonder. I suggest
The ground shook and I saw how large vines crawled inside the hall. I looked at Queen Romina and saw her eyes turned to fiery green. I didn’t waste time and made my own move. I formed the dragon’s bow—a blazing bow that could make a fire arrow that could burn anything. I aimed Ren who’s now cutting the large vines attacking him. I thought it would hit him, but just when it was about to hit the part of his chest where his heart lies, he moved as fast as lightning.He threw a ball of dark energy towards Queen Romina that slammed her to the wall. It all happened too fast, I wasn’t able to move.The queen coughed blood and my lips parted. I quickly ran towards her side. That was a big blow, it must have badly injured her.“Mother, are you alright?”She struggled to give me a nod but I know she can no longer fight with her condition. Her body is weak. During those days she locked herself, she hadn’t eaten anythin
Raja slowly vanished and returned to a red smoke. It then went back to my necklace, and all I was able to do was watch the last trace of him vanish in thin air.‘Raja, are you there?’ I asked through our mind link, hoping that he’s just in the necklace and still could talk to me.But his response didn’t come. Not even his usual growl when he doesn’t feel like answering my question or when I’m doing something stupid. All I hear was silence. Empty silence that made me feel so cold inside.“Your annoying pet is now sealed, dear Ophelia. He can’t interfere my business anymore,” Ren said evilly.With tears in my eyes, I tried to talk to Raja again, but there was no answer. He was really sealed into endless sleep and I don’t have the least bit idea how to awaken him. Even King Arthur and Queen Romina thought that there was no way to awaken David. They said that the seal can only be broken by the one wh
