TERAH was still in a daze as she walked. If she wanted, she could teleport with the blink of an eye but chose to walk and ride the public bus. She wanted to relieve the moment when she was still a student where her only problems were her grades, part-time jobs, and seven siblings.
She wasn't able to meet her father. She will be back. She wanted to bond with her siblings. She missed all of them. Their naughtiness. Their noises. Their giggles. Everything about them.
That can wait.
She had a lot of enemies hot on her tails. They were waiting for any signs of weaknesses. If they found out they were her family, they would be in great trouble.
Now that she had been gone for a long time, she appreciated all of them. It was wrong of her to think tha
TERAH was bored and tired. She had nothing to do except to watch a movie on a paid online site. She made sure to make a different subscription service for watching TV episodes and movies from different countries. Because sometimes, after a mission, she had nothing left to do but to stare at the ceiling then think of her family.She wanted to kill the boredom. She had no one to talk to. She also had no friends whom she could drink with due to the nature of her work. The plus side was that there were no neighbors to irritate her. They rarely saw her. Which was good since it meant less emotional attachments. The people also recognized her privacy and did not talk behind her back. Which was the reason she seemed not to follow D's suggestion to move.Never! She loved it here.
TERAH saw Mariah staring at the ceiling when she arrived. The television was on in the background. Different snacks were scattered on the table. Mariah was a mess. Her hair looked like a bird's nest. She was wearing pajamas but she was doubtful if it was new."Mariah?" she called.The woman wasn't able to hear her call so she just entered. She told Terah her passcode. According to her, if she wanted to sleep over, she could do it. Freely. The woman wouldn't mind.Mariah looked up. "You came." She got up. Cleaned the table. Put the trash in the garbage can. Offered her some drinks but Terah declined."I'm full," she rejected. Besides, how can she eat if her friend was having a problem?"I apprecia
Warning!Slight sexual content.*******CHET FROZE for just a moment, and before Terah knew it, he responded to her kiss. He kissed her with such intensity she had never known. As if he was ravenous. He was waiting for this kind kiss with so much passion. Terah tasted the metallic taste of his blood. But she did not mind. She drowned in the pleasure that he made her feel. She loved it. She felt wanted.She did not usually kiss any strangers. That wasn't her. Suddenly he lifted her like she weighs nothing. Terah's instinct told her to wrap her legs around his waist. And she did. Chet squeezed her butt in return. but in Kissing a man in
TERAH WAS BLEEDING profusely. The longer the time she did not heal herself, the more the pain was becoming unbearable.Move your butt faster, woman if you do not want to die from blood loss.Well, she was trying, really but her wound won't let her. Maybe she should have decided to have her Plan B.And what the hell should be your plan B? It's not your attitude to plan.Surprisingly, she was alone in the dark street. Which means no one can help her. Usually, even if it were still nighttime, the people would still be busy running doing some errands. The moon was up in the skies. The numerous stars designed the stars.
ZACHARY CHARGED at the intruders. Using his right hand, he punched the first one in the stomach and then kicked the groin. The man bellowed in pain. While he was unfinished with the first, the second intruder tried to punch him in the jaw, but he missed. Zachary's fangs elongated, then he bit the man's jugular. Their blood was acid in his tongue. He wanted to puke at the aftertaste. Throwing the second man, he charged at the other, but he teleported.Zachary snarled.Zachary's blood was boiling in anger. The monster in him wanted to kill everyone who tried to harm his woman. They did not deserve to live in this place! He will kill all of them before they can escape.No one dares to touch his woman! He will kill them!
TERAH FOUND no ounce of guilt on Zachary's face. He stared at her with puppy dog eyes, hoping she would forget what happened to her house. The man's audacity! How dare him!It will take an ample amount of fortune to replace the broken furniture and stairs! She was on a tight budget right now. Plus the fact that one of her siblings was attending college. She needed to pay for his tuition and miscellaneous fees. And it was expensive.He watched her with that slight crease between his eyebrows. "Someone was trying to assassinate you, and what do you want me to do? Just stare at them, and let them pierce your heart with their sword? Not in a million years, Mahal. That would only mean declaring war with me. If they wanted to suffer my wrath, I would gladly accept them as my
Zachary was staring at the paintings mounted on the wall. Most of the subjects were naked, posing in different erotic positions. The owner of the office loved the human body without a doubt, he mused. There were plenty of nude arts decorated, ranging from men and women to a group of individuals. Every painting that hung on the wall had its own signatures and placed in a beautiful frame that added value. Some were worth millions or thousands of dollars.Zachary was not a fan of that kind of art, but he appreciates how the painter gave his or her best to produce a state-of-the-art piece.One particular painting caught his attention. It was about a group of naked individuals enjoying the heat of the sun while bathing on the shore. His mind wandered to Terah. He hoped one d
ZACHARY TELEPORTED to the Mountain of Madjaas of Panay Islands. The mountain was a giant dormant volcano and happened to be the highest peak in Panay. It was considered sacred since ancient times since Sidapa, the god of death, resided there. Some people and hikers thought it was one of the most difficult to climb. Some humans dared to do mountain climbing with the help of some guide by the locals.Zachary saw the sea of clouds in the distance. The lush, green, verdant valleys were a new sight to behold. He breathed and filled his lungs with fresh air.Zachary did not find it challenging to look for Death. According to Isla, the man's favorite spot was the highest tree located in the area. The tree played a significant role in the lives of humans.He instantly spotted the god of death, seated under
ZACHARY threw Isla an irritated look.“What?” Zachary asked, while looking uninterested. "If you cannot do it, I will not force you. I could ask someone to do it for me." And it was true. He had a lot of connections, but there was no guarantee that it would be faster than Isla's services. That was one of the reasons why he had chosen her. Regardless of the costs. Afterall, money was not a problem.Isla bit her lips. She was contemplating. And Zachary had no spare time to wait for her a little longer.He tapped his foot on the floor, while waiting for the woman to say something.A few seconds had passed when she still did not utter anything. “I do not have all the time, Isla,” he uttered with impatience.
WHEN ZACHARY ARRIVED at their meeting place, Isla was already there waiting for him. She wore a red off-the-shoulder dress, which made her too cute. Her wings were clipped in her back. Thankfully, it stopped there. In his eyes, Terah was the most gorgeous woman, and no one could replace her. It was only his bride that would always catch his attention.Men glanced at their table and ogled at the woman, while their partners tried to get their attention. Isla seemed not to care. She was focused on reading a fashion magazine, while holding a glass of juice on another hand. She flipped the pages.Zachary scanned his surroundings.It was a white garden restaurant with oversized lights over the large table. Zachary did not know if real plants were attached to the
TERAH STARED at the ceiling for some time already. She did not have any idea how long it had passed. It had been five hours, Terah, her mind said. It had been five hours since you were lying on your bed like a brokenhearted bitch.However, it felt like one day already. But one thing was sure, Zachary had not returned.Maybe you just missed the man so much.No freaking way! It felt weird on her part. It was always her who was always absent at this house. Not the other way around.She wondered what happened to the two. Then they made up their mind and rekindled their romance? Winona would likely agree. Freni could
TERAH WANTED TO cry. How the hell will she look for Mariah if Winona was adamant about not helping her? She came here, anticipating the woman could help her, but she denied her help. No matter what she said, Winona will just say no.Her heart sank.She is my only hope, she thought. Apparently, Winona had chosen only those she wanted to help. How came she was so unfair?Maybe the best idea was the hire The Cleaning Babies Services? But that would cost a lot, and she had no extra cash right now. D did not give her any missions.Damn it, Terah thought with a sinking feeling. Maybe it was time to ask for a loan at Zachary?
TERAH AND FANTINE arrived at D's place. Staring at them like hawk eyes, the man followed their movements. He was waiting for their arrival, cross-legged. He scanned Fantine like his prey but not in a sexual way. D had his standards, and one of them was no involvement in any witches. One of his fling, who was also a witch, made a scandal and threatened to destroy his collections of statues. The man was furious and vowed never to date any witches.Terah scanned his place.There was nothing ordinary in his humble abode. Everything screamed elegance. There were displays of D's favorite artist sculptures like that of Michelangelo and Donatello. There were statues with missing heads and wings due to their age. But it wasn't his fault. When he discovered them, that was already the statue's state.Th
The girl was endlessly thanking Terah after she freed her. In return, she just nodded. She did not want anyone to be grateful to her. It made her uncomfortable when someone thanked her. All she wanted was for them to act like she did nothing for their benefit. If she did something good to someone, she preferred it to be hidden."Stop it already," Terah said in his low voice. She was dying from embarrassment from the girl's behavior."I cannot thank you enough!" she exclaimed excitedly. She looked like a child after receiving her sweets. Adorable and irritating at the same time.The werewolf shook his head in disbelief. His eyes darkened and narrowed. "What have you done, woman? You released a catastrophe," he said. "She was playing with you. I know it because I was with her longer
THE SMELL OF shit and urine wafted in the air. Terah scrunched her nose in disgust. She was in Hancia (for a couple of times) again, hoping to find any clues of Mariah's whereabouts.Hancia looked like the reflection of the human world, except the creatures that lived here were powerful ones whom human thought existed only in books. In addition, in this place, kingdoms existed like the kingdom of Ebrosirka, ruled by a powerful werewolf. But the creatures living in that kingdom were not werewolves but those individuals rejected by society. It ranges from witches, mermaids, fairies, and anyone.Terah was attending an auction of the prisoners from war. But some of them were sold by their families. There was no fixed location for the auctions. From time to time, the place would change depending on the organizer's organization. The unconstant site was be
TERAH WAS BEYOND exhausted upon reaching her house. She couldn't feel her arms anymore and directly sunk on her bed without eating dinner. How could she? The last thing she wanted right now was to sleep. It was a long day for her.Terah went looking for Mariah again, but she failed in her search. She tried to look everywhere in the human world and Hancia. She talked to different people from her friends and co-workers, but still no result.She also went to Mariah's parents, but her family had no idea she had gone missing.Ugh. Was Mariah kidnapped? How could she be gone without any traces? What happened while both of them slept?Terah scratched the corner of her brow and looked at the white ceiling. "Where the heck are you, woman? Are you even safe right
