Mona didn’t know what to say except to stare back at Rose and Dominic in silence of shock. She could only purse her lips, her expression growing darker by time. How could she tell Dominic that Rose had formed a contract with the demon?She didn’t know what to do as she didn’t want to reveal Rose’s secret but at the same time felt that it would be much too painful for Dominic to find the truth too late. “Mona?” Starvos asked as he could see the frown between her forehead. “What’s wrong? Is there a problem?” He immediately asked, not wanting any danger to be on the two children.“No.. it’s just that the curse on Dominic…” Mona couldn’t help but spill the slight truth that startled herself as she didn’t mean to reveal the truth. But being cornered, she couldn’t find the right word to say and had uttered without much thoughts. “What’s wrong with it?” Starvos asked at once, his face darkening as he had thought it had worsened. “What’s wrong?” Dominic asked and Mona turned her eyes to R
“I… will check on it,” Mona responded. She should be happy and on her feet jumping with joy as finally the curse she had wanted to erase had met its end. Yet… she couldn’t feel happy. Before, as she didn’t know about Rose, she wouldn’t have cared too much if Rose would suffer from a curse because she had formed a contract with a demon. She believed that the only way for Rose to achieve her happiness, considering it as a win- win help from her. But now, she felt as if she was the one who had pushed Rose to the corners, wondering if she was the bridge that had caused Rose to hold the demon’s hands and form a contract.“You are not happy?” Rose then questioned. Her green eyes looked at Mona but the latter felt foreign to her gaze. “I am.. happy,” Mona answered but bigger than that happiness was pure guilt. “You should be careful from now on, Rose. The demons, they would always whispers you ideas that you should never listen to. They will try to push you deeper to the black magics whic
Rose immediately walked toward the door. Her slender hands held the doorknob and she pulled the door backward. Her eyes glittered as she looked at Dominic. Her smile blossomed, “How was Starvos?”“He is pretending to be feeble but he should be alright. It was a stab wound by the doctor said that with his body type and will he should be healed fast enough.” Dominic then took a seat on the bed as he looked at the mirror across him, finding it somewhat odd. “Well I am glad if the wound is nothing terrible on him. I was worried,” Rose said, walking toward the table to bring herself and Dominic a cup of warm teas.“Thankfully Hannah didn’t use poison. I know many sorcerers who would use poison to make sure we will suffer to our death,” Dominic took the cup of the tea from her and smiled as he smelled the sweet scent. “Isaac,” Rose mentioned, recalling how the man also used poison. “What will you do now?” Dominic leaned his body backward, “Watch. The people from the Order now knows how t
Dominic always find himself fascinated to see Rose’s smile. Her beautiful eyes will curve down, her lips will soften and her cheeks will turn pink. He also loved to see his own reflection on her green eyes, finding himself to be caged in her eyes weren’t a bad thing at all.He lifted her chin and Rose’s eyes closed as she knew they would kiss. In the past she would have looked at him in confusion but now her acceptance flattered him over the moon. His lips gently caressed over hers. He gently rubbed her cheeks, his long hands caressed the back of her ears. With his problem solved now, he believed Rose was in a better mood yet like earlier, he would find her staring into nothingness, appearing to be pondering on something deeply enough to be lost on her own thoughts. “Is there still something in your mind?” He coaxed, gently parting her lips with his tongue. Rose’s pink cheeks turned redder, “No, nothing. I just feel that everything is surreal. It makes me feel scared that if I clos
Dominic couldn’t explain what love was as a child. Now that he had found the love of his life, he still feel as if he couldn’t explain that single word in a sentence. He couldn’t find any words that would describe what it feel to be in love. How he pitied the people who haven’t found love. How he pitied himself who haven’t met Rose. Love was like a magic. Maybe a curse to some people. It’s a magic that would bind your soul to only one person in your entire life. A magic that would make your head think of only one person that logic and reasoning doesn’t matter. You don’t even care about yourself when you are in love with someone. For Dominic, love wasn’t always selfless. There is still the selfishness in him even when he love Rose. He envied the idea of having to see her with someone else, loving deeply the idea that Rose was his own. Thus to see and hear her in pleasure was a privilege he was delighted to have. As no one. No one in this world would be able to make her feel the
Their room was filed with their love. The fireplace crackle gently as the shadow of them merged as one. Rose felt a sense of pleasure humming her body as they both have finished their lovemaking. She tiredly looked aside, looking at how the sun had appeared behind the curtain, giving a gentle orange light to pass through the brown fabric. She turned to his chest, snuggling closer to his embrace. Dominic played with her hair, circling her golden locks against his long fingers with a soft smile of happiness. “You should sleep now. I will wake you up later before breakfast.” Rose nodded her head, “But I want to be with your for a little longer.” She then pressed her ears against his chest. “Dominic, how do you think we would live like after everything have ended?” Dominic looked down to her eyes and softly tugged his lips, “I don’t think it will change? Maybe we would be at more peace as both of us will be protected from danger. We could move to the countryside if that makes you fe
Starvos was silent. Mona who was worried of his reaction slowly lifted her face, finding a horrified look on Starvos’s face as he stared at the cross that was presented in front of him, as though a thunder bolt had struck his body, destroying every piece of him. “Hey! Hey you should breathe!” Mona shouted as she realized how Starvos had stopped breathing from shock. The old werewolf coughed as he tried to inhale his breaths, finally stepping out from his daze. In a long silence, he then said, “You didn’t lie to me right?”“Like hell I would ever lie about stuff like this,” Mona rolled her eyes and put down the teacup beside the fireplace. She silently stared at the crackling fire. “I didn’t want to do it in front of the kids. If they were hoping you are to be his father but turns out the opposite, I can’t bear to see their disappointed face. So I did it silently.”“But.. that’s impossible,” said Starvos, covering his lips. “Hey I thought you of all people would be rejoice in findi
Elizabeth walked through the snow storm. Her horse had became tired from the long journey that they had and when she saw the bright light coming from the tent of the soldiers, she decided to stop riding her horse and walked through the cold. Her feet created the footsteps which quickly disappeared as snowflakes hovered over the traces again. Upon seeing someone, the soldiers immediately become alerted, “There is a guests!” “Prepare your weapon!” Shouted the other people. Starvos sat in front of his tent. Beside him was his assistant who had quickly bandage the wound on his stomach. Even though tonight was full moon, Starvos had suffered so many wounds that it was difficult for him to ever keep a straight mind.“Bring more alcohol,” Starvos demanded. To his mind, only alcohol could help him withstand the pain across his body. He couldn’t faint now. He couldn’t lose conscious now. He had promised to his beloved Eliza that he would come home soon. “But sir, you are already intoxicat
