With the advice given by Terrence, slowly I descended the stairs. Anxiety and losing control of myself still ran through my body neatly. The gurgling water in the kitchen makes me curious about who came to visit us during the rest time.“Kate hadn't been seen since just now, had she fallen asleep?”I cleared my throat after realizing it was Mom, I quickened my pace and saw Mom was sitting on the living room sofa. In front of her was a shiny cardboard box.“Have you been sleeping since then?” mom asked me a question.I shook my head.“So, why don't you open the door for me immediately? Did you purposely let me die from the cold?”“You're too melancholy, Mom. You often get cold but all this time you haven't died of hypothermia,” I said.Mom rolled her eyeballs, then glanced at the shiny box in front of her. Mom said that it was the sausage she made. She wanted to give that to me and Terrence when it was warm. I responded with a weird smile.“You know since Tamara and me worked to pay fo
The creak of the iron being cut gave me goosebumps. Judith sharpened the iron with sandpaper until it was clean and shiny. There were three keys that we faked for a few minutes—the key to the graveyard gate, the key to the garden hut, and the key to the medicine room.“Soon this will be over, sir.”“That's good news. I have to return it as soon as possible.”The young man nodded and smiled. He was so deft in duplicating the keys as if he had over a hundred years of experience. A few minutes later the duplicate key was finished printing. Terrence hastily ran into the palace area to return the original keys to Grandma's room.“Excuse me, Lady may I ask a question? Where has Your Royal Highness Queen Isabell gone, Lady?” Judith asked me.“To the orphanage. They had been planning it since yesterday. They invited me to join but I don't have time because we are going to make sure of something,” I answered immediately.Judith nodded politely then signaled that Terrence was running over. I ru
At first, I couldn’t know the tall man but after he ran over to us. I realized it was Jake. Nina's Mate. He panicked when he saw Terrence passed out with a pretty bad wound on his shoulder. Jake asked me what happened that Terrence was so gravely injured. I can't explain because I'm so worried about Terrence's condition.Jake understood this, he struggled to help Terrence to his feet—I helped him open the car door. Made Terrence sit safely beside the driver's seat. Jake provided a soft pillow to cover the wound.“Can you drive a car?” Jake asked me.“I can. But this car, I've never driven a car with a manual transition,” I said.“That's easier said than done. I'm going to visit my grandmother in Winter Ashes, I can't possibly leave you here and just give you the address of the nearest hospital.”“I don't mind if you leave the two of us here. Terrence is already in the car. I can drive this car slowly.”Jake sighed and folded his arms across his chest. “The hospital is thirteen kilomet
I walked into a room with snow-white walls. Inside the room was a female doctor who was checking something on her computer. I greeted her softly, she turned her head and confirmed the location of the round glasses she was wearing.“What are you looking for in my room, Young Lady?” asked the middle-aged female doctor.I lowered my head and introduced myself as part of the Kingdom. The woman nodded and apparently, she was acquainted with Mom. She asked me about my life over the past eighteen years. She knows my age for sure. “I’m fine, Doctor. But there is one thing I want to ask you.” She cleared her throat and then told me to sit down. “Relate to the Duchess, I will make sure the bullet does not damage the muscle tissue in his shoulder. He is still very young. It would be so miserable if he lost his great ability. The backbone of him is so beautiful, indicating that the Alpha who married you is the Alpha with an angel-like personality.” “Sorry, Doctor. But I don't want to talk abou
I stood up and immediately approached the doctor. “I am his wife, Doctor.” “Good, I would like to speak to you, Mrs. Gregory.”“There is anything fatal? There is a fatal wound on his shoulder?” I asked with teary eyes. The doctor sighed as if something I didn't want to be had really happened. Mom came over to me and rubbed my back gently. My mother-in-law also stood closer. The doctor said, “We managed to get the silver bullet out. But the bleeding experienced by Mr. Gregory sucked him out a lot of blood and needed a donor. I've contacted my doctor colleagues to look for blood from the same type as him. But if one of you has a match blood type you can help Mr. Gregory get better soon.”My knees went weak for a moment, Mom supported me. “I can't donate blood because my blood isn't pure,” I muttered. My mother-in-law said their blood was matched immediately and agreed to help Terrence make a speedy recovery. My mother-in-law, holding my hand, inserts enthusiasm so that I don't blam
“I'm just asking a very simple thing, Mom. I didn't incriminate her with silly questions.” I sighed, promptly ending my dinner.My appetite disappeared suddenly. I saw Grandma who was acting strangely in front of us. The behavior makes it clear that Grandma is hiding a big secret. We look at each other like an enemy who is inwardly entrenched.“It's not appropriate for you to say that to Grandma. I've never taught you that way, Kate. Don't embarrass me, I have given you a lot of space to express your identity. But not to act disrespectfully like that.” Mom nagged me like nagging a child.“I've never acted disrespectful before. Don't you want to ask me why I'm doing this, Mom? Every behavior has a reason, right?” I asked mom back.My mother-in-law mediated our commotion. My mother-in-law said that several people were watching us because of the commotion. She suggested not to argued here because it would invite question marks from some of the people in the hallway.“Forgive your daughte
“Well, I understand. Be careful, Dad.”After patting Terrence's head, the father-in-law went out of Terence's inpatient room. Terrence smiled slightly then wiped away my tears with his thumb. He pinched both of my cheeks until I smiled.“Please don't cry anymore, Mate.”I let go of his hand and wiped off the traces of my tears. I won't sob again in front of him. I won't cry because Terrence will heal in a while. Mom put her hand on my shoulder, with a faint smile he told Terrence that I was on guard all night out of concern for him.Terrence looked at me with an anxious face. “Don't stay up late anymore, You and our future child will be exhausted if you don't rest enough. Don't torture yourself for my sake, Mate.”“I didn't do that on purpose. I can’t sleep because I was anxious and scared.”“I still forbid you to stay up late again. I don't want you to do that for nothing, Mate.” Terrence insisted.I nodded resignedly. A moment later I remembered having to see Doctor Grace in her roo
The noises around me made me wake up with a lightheaded head. I was stunned when I felt cramping pains hit my whole body. From head to toe it hurts. In my heart I wondered what I had been through until such a terrible pain struck me in a barrage.The cry sounded like a thunderbolt in broad daylight. A soft touch woke me up, with a blurry look I surrounded the whole room. The strong antiseptic smell makes me nauseous.“Sweetheart,” A small whisper made me realize that it was Terrence.“T-terrence ….” Terrence clasped my hand so tightly. He cried, Mom and my Mother-in-law cried hysterically. Meanwhile my Father-in-law looked at us with a sympathetic look.What happened to us?“Kate....” Between her sobs Mom tried to call me.“W-what happened to me, Love?” I whispered to Terrence who was crying beside me.Terrence shook his head. He didn't answer my question in the slightest. I touched my stinging and numb belly. Terrence prevented it and said 'Don't'"Why?" I asked softly.Terrence sho
Kate knocked on the door slowly, a troop who’s in his duty opened door for her. The troop greeted her with polite manner, he prepared a chair for Kate and Kyle. Autumn looked at them in a confused gaze, while Kate handed the baked potatoes to her. “It’s baked potato and cheese. I’m not sure you’ll dig it up, but I had no idea how to get the fresh blood alone. Couldn’t send the troops too.” Kate mumbled.Autumn frowned when she accepted the baked potato. She sighed before chewing on the baked potato. She enjoyed it without complaining about pain in her belly. Kate felt so grateful for it. Kate never known if vampires can enjoy such dishes. Kate was amazed by that because she knows vampires can’t enjoy such dishes. Kate knows vampires can’t chew anything with garlic in it. Autumn wasn’t complained about the garlic either.“When do I get the chance to go home? I missed my mom.” Autumn whispered; her voice was so pathetic.Kate plopped down to the chair, her face turned so pale in a seco
Terrence and Kate walked into their room with hasty steps, moreover Terrence is susceptible to Autumn. Kate walked over her touch up tables to remove her make up, Terrence called her when she’s focused on the mirror.“What’s your opinion about Autumn?” Terrence asked Kate.“What? She’s a little girl.” Kate replied so quickly.Terrence chuckled then looked at Kate, his eyes were so difficult to define. “No. I meant about her genes. Can’t find out what the type of her genes besides vampires. She enjoyed the chicken’s blood like she gulps the strawberry juices.”Kate turned silent, tried to remember when Terrence gave her a glass of chicken’s blood. Kate knows that Autumn gulped the blood without disgust felt. Kate is bothered by the truths, but the fact that Autumn is strayed here makes her uncomfortable. It happened because she was afraid there someone who saw Autumn gulp the blood, Kate aware that werewolves are different from vampires. Other werewolves were distracted by the fact tha
“Yes, we should visit the little girl rooms. I need to make sure that she’s not a riot victim. When the party is over, we can visit her,” Terrence tones.Kate nodded before her eyes fixed on the Kyle who’s enjoying the performance of the magicians. Kate smiled but did nothing. The party was over at 9 pm, all the guests came back to their houses. Terrence and Kate invited Kyle to visit the little girl who’s being treated in the Royal Hospital. He’s about to refuse his parents’ invitation, but Terrence told him to visit the little girl and befriend her.Between another pouted in his face, Kyle agreed and then followed his parents to hospital. The Bell chimed when they opened the door, the troop who’s in his duty jolted. He lowered his head and invited Terrence to sit on the couch. Terrence put his hand up, but his eyes signaled to Kyle to take the couch. Kyle remained silent for a minute, but he walked over to the couch. Terrence stroked Kyle’s hair, while his eyes were fixed to the lit
They walked to the ballroom, as soon as possibles they approached their mom. Crystal looked surprised, however she pretended to be tranquil. Tamara came and sat down near to Crystal, Tamara sighed and pushed her head to her mom a bit. “Did you hear about the vicious pack, they were rioting the other pack.” Tamara whispered to her mom. Crystal turned silent, while her eyes were confused when fixed on her older daughter. “What do you mean? Who were rioting with other packs?” Tamara sighed sadly. “Silver Storm Packs, Mom. Did you remember about them? They stayed rioting with other packs near to our pack. We need to take a firm act to stopping them.” “Tamara, everything they’ve done isn’t our business. We couldn’t take any actions to prevented them.” Tamara sighed sadly, while looked at her mom in disbelief faces. The fact that she heard from her mom jolted her, she wouldn’t believe in her mom. There was a lot deceased werewolf, but her mom acted like there’s not any wrong they have do
“You shouldn’t think that we can deal with every single matter by such a harm, Beth. She is a trapped little girl in the forest, she’s a little girl. How could you accuse she could be a spy? We were an adult. We were the one who could be a good role for our child and our grandchild. I can’t be that careless and There’s not a possibility I’ll let that little girl there.” Crystal mumbled without looking at her guest. “But … Beth’s opinion is making sense. You should be aware. You’ve been kick out your step-niece and your step-nephew. That’s meant to be aware of the dangers.” Someone spoken to Crystal.“Well, I get it. But sometimes we must think in a positively way,” Crystal dodged it, but she still tries to dig in the appetizer before her.The guest turned silent and focused to enjoyed the appetizer without looked at Crystal or Kate. It was a tension between them, the dinner party should be a good time for built the nicer relationship with each other, but today it seems like a little
“Where’s that sound coming from?” Kate walked away. Her steps were faster than before. She left Nina, who was still asking about the mysterious sounds. As she walked, she thought about the strange noise and what it could be. Her mind was running through the possibilities. She was worried about something having happened on the outside. She walked over to Crystal, who was arranging some pricey flowers in a huge vase in the living room. “Mom, did you hear something weird outside? It sounds like a hurt wolf or something like a—” “What are you talking about, Kate? I didn’t hear anything.” Crystal looked at her daughter with a bizarre look that made Kate feel weird. “That sound is so loud, Mom. That’s so impossible you didn’t hear it.” Kate felt her heart start to argue. Crystal shook her head, and her long hair swayed side to side. She finished her activities and then turned around to face her daughter. Her eyes were so hard to define when she looked at Kate. It seemed like she was
It was a big day for Crescent Scarlet Moon, and one that would be remembered for years to come. The royal family was hosting a dinner for all of the prominent families in the kingdom, and it was sure to be a grand affair. Kate’s mom had asked her to help with the preparations, and she was happy to oblige. She knew that this was a once in a lifetime opportunity to see her favorite princess up close.Kate went to the kitchen to start on the berry dishes while her mom went to check on the roasted chicken. She was just putting the finishing touches on the dessert when she heard a commotion from the living room. She went to see what was going on and saw that Kyle was running around the room with the sword. Kate’s mom was frantic, and Kate knew that she needed to help her.
A few years later,Kate is trying to get away while she circles some of the new cages that are being constructed. Because of the storm that hit yesterday, the cages were all messed up, but her uncle was able to fix them. She did so while carrying a toddler's outerwear and walking around the buildings. Meanwhile, on the other hand, two kids were playing around in the horse cages, making mud and messing up everything they approached. They were very excited to play in the mud, and then Kate shouted out loud to them and told them to get out of the mountain of mud.The children disregarded Kate's yell and attempted to run away. However, one of the children was smacked in the head by a horse’s tail, and she fell into some horse droppings. Kate ran to her and helped her to get up.“I
