Mona immediately shook her head and sat down again, carefully arranging herself and cool down her head. As she composed herself, she spoke, “No way, you would never be talentless. For all I can see you are talented, extremely talented even.” “Then am I not visualizing it well enough?” She put up the possibility but Mona disagreed at once. “I could feel your magic earlier from your hand but it suddenly disappeared the moment you spoke the magic spell. It’s something I ever first experience,” confessed Mona as she had never seen anyone with such a disruptive magic arrangement. She could feel such strong magic from Rose at first but that magic flow was completely gone now. “Something is off..” Mona whispered at once as she reached out her hand to hold Rose.Rose didn’t understand what happened but believed in Mona who knows it better than her. As Mona held her hand, her frown only tighten more, leaving her in confusion. “Your magic…” whispered Mona. “Something is blocking your magic.
Rose pulled her eyebrows together, feeling guilty as she didn’t want to make Dominic felt the way he did but then again she didn’t want to tell him now as she knows well how strongly he would reject her offer. “I… honestly.. I am worried,” Rose settled her hands on him, gently running her hair through his black locks and tugging her hands slowly. “I don’t want to tell you but the nightmares from losing you still affects me. That made me…. Insecure and anxious. I’m afraid that one day I will lose you and when I let those thoughts fill my head, I cannot stop them at all.” Dominic gently hushed her, “I know. I know what your re saying. When I saw you wounded, I feel the need to put you somewhere far away from anyone’s touch so no one would ever hurt you. To feel fear for losing your lover is normal sweetheart.”Rose laid down her head to his chest, gently counting his heartbeat in her head. “Then do you know how to stop me from wallowing in these thoughts?” Dominic chuckled at her que
Appalled by how strong the hands on her shoulders are, she quickly whispered for another magic underneath her breaths, causing for a bright light to appear. The magic wouldn’t hurt anyone but it was enough for her to save her shoulder from the fear of being crushed. She then stepped back to look forward, shocked to find Dominic who was the one to held her shoulders. “Who are you?!” In panic, Mona lied. She was the one who knew about the man but the man doesn’t know about her. She couldn’t let her cover to be blown away by Dominic, not when Rose asked her not to. “I should be the one asking that,” Dominic frowned as his eyes felt burred with the sudden bright light that had attacked him. It was clear that no human would be able to use such a magic. His eyes looked back at Mona who had appeared to be a woman in her late thirties, with brown hair and similar features as his mother, except for the fact that the woman’s vibe was world apart compared to his mother’s gentle nature. “Sorce
There were many effects a Fallen could give to the person it haunts. The last time Mona had read about it made the person became overly crazed to the point they had devoured their own family flesh by flesh. The true reason wasn’t told and it was hard to compare the case with Dominic considering the person was a human and he is a werewolf. Also it was written that the human in the case died only after four months he was cursed. Which also mean the werewolf blood in Dominic had done all its best to stop the fallen from corrupting him but their time was running out and it became even more difficult for them to stop the fallen’s curse. “Anyway, I am not related to this problem. I am here simply to make sure that you all are alright and in a safe condition because Lady Elizabeth had once helped me before.” Mona answered at once, making him to raise his brows even higher as he couldn’t tell if she was lying or if she was saying the truth. “Fine,” Dominic said, pulling his sword away tha
Mona looked back at Rose in a long silence until she finally sigh and relented. Her eyes first looked back and forward from Starvos to Dominic before using a magic spell that caused for an object to fall in front of them. Starvos took a step back as he didn’t expect the object to fall right beside him. Dominic then went to take the flask, bending down to take the flask. “Poison?” Dominic questioned for Mona to shook her head at once. “No NO! How could that be a poison?! I don’t make poison,” she reasoned. “I have to be honest to you so this is what I am giving you.” “And what is this?” Starvos inquired for her to sigh. “A truth serum.” Mona stared at the purple liquid inside the flask. “You can use this truth serum on me and I will answer all your questions at once without a hesitation. Seeing that none of you seem to trust me then might as well give you my trump card and prove my innocent.” “Why go this far?” Lord Salemn questioned for her to look at him with a smile. “I think
But the men who looked at her was the least trusting. They continue to stare at her with their eyes studying every corner of her expression which made Elizabeth to feel extremely uncomfortable. “Then show us who is inside the carriage,” demanded the man again who wasn’t satisfied with the result. Their guts were telling them that someone is inside the carriage. Elizabeth turned her head to the carriage curtain and sighed, “Can’t you see it from here? There is no one inside the carriage and if there was actually anyone, you would have seen a shadow of that person’s silhouette.” “She could bend down. We are not dumb,” said the other man who then rushed forward, shoving her away. Elizabeth frowned as the men had rudely pushed her. The old coachman who saw this immediately jumped down to stop them but Elizabeth didn’t want the old coachman to enter the fight and instead wounding himself when he was only a human. As she was about to stop them again, a stronger hand had caught one of t
Starvos who heard the detailed informations of how she was saved by Mona himself frowned. He felt as though it had happened before but couldn’t remember it well. With how long he was in the war, he could barely remember about the actions he did, only taking treasure of the memories he shared with the people he loved together instead. “Did you remember this ever happening before?” Dominic questioned him for Starvos to shake his head. “Not that I ever remember it happening before,” reasoned Starvos which made Mona to turn panic as the wolf had forgotten about her. “But it is possible that it happened. Elizabeth had helped a lot of people, a lot. I can’t count all of them but I’m sure with such detailed information and our conversation, I feel that indeed it had happened before,” Starvos vouched as he knew the actions told in Mona’s story was correct. “Why were you chased though?” Dominic looked at her with his eyebrows raised. “I do think it wasn’t humans who came after you. If it
Dominic shook his head and held her hands that settled on his cheeks. He whispered, “Don’t worry I just recalled something in the past when I was younger. A memory with my mother and that goddamn Duke.”“What was it about?” She whispered, wondering if it could do be a clue for them to use later on.“He threatened my mother that if she leave I would be in danger. I realize only now that the shackle that tied my mother in that castle wasn’t her feeling for the Duke but for my sake.” Dominic smiled again seeing her face filled with worries and concerns as well as sympathy. “I know darling, I am not to blame for what happened and I won’t blame myself anymore.”He then returned his gaze to Starvos and said, “I think that’s enough for the interrogation. I don’t see anything else I need to tell ask from her. The fact that she left without doing anything must mean she had said the truth.”Starvos nodded, “Although I can’t remember you well enough I don’t see you will do harm to us anymore.”
