Shawn who had been looking around the small house was certain the place had too little space for anyone to hide anything. Mrs. Maury was particularly welcome for him to enter, even leaving him in the house with all the room unlocked as though she knew that she didn’t have anything important for anyone to search.Humming a tone, he decided to walk back to the living room when he heard something shaking from the floor. At first he thought it was the weak floor that had began to sang from the soreness of old age. He realized soon enough it was the sound of wind that came from below. This made his eyebrows to raise. He bent down slowly, placing his ears against the floor to hear the small but definite sound from below that sounded empty. It as though there was a void hidden beneath. Curious, he went to look for the door that can lead down. Knocking on some part of the floor, his eyes stopped at the carpet below the sofas, finding trace they it had been moved. As his fingers lifted th
The door to the church was colored with the stain glass. Josie opened the door confidently, knowing her way all over the church as she and Rose had constantly visited the place. Upon entering in, they were greeted with a cold air. Silence filled the room, leaving only their footsteps to be heard. Josie who was more familiar with the church, finds nothing new with the view, letting Shawn to enjoy his time.“You often come here?”“Yes, with Rose,” Josie confirmed. “We have visited here almost weekly for as long as I can remember. Praying to God and helping to clean the garden at times. There’s a statue of an angel behind and it’s the prettiest I have seen. I am sure you would like it as well.”Josie had walked straight with her head turned to Shawn, not realizing how there was a person in front of her and bumped to their chest flatly.“Ouch,” she sighed. “Ouch as well,” said the other person in front of her. He lifted his face that was colored in a smile, “Oh, Josephine. I was thinkin
Mrs. Maury welcomed the two when they had gone back home. She prepared a dinner which Shawn stayed into eat together. After the dinner ended that was when Mrs. Maury began her question, “When do you think you will come home?”Josie pursed her lips, “I want to help with dad but I also want to stay in the castle and wait for Rose to come back. When she comes back I promise I will stay back home.”“I don’t mind you staying there. I’m only taking care of your father so there isn’t much thing I can do either. Thanks to Mr. Dominic’s help now your father’s medical bills and his medicine is always there when we needed it. Physician comes regularly too,” continued Mrs. Maury with a smile. “I am glad that the person Rose is engaged with think of her so deeply.”“Mr. Dominic sent a physician to take care of father?” Mrs. Maury nodded at once. “Yes he did. It was quite a long time ago. After you left the house to visit Rose the physician had come. I was in a bind because suddenly Marie said she
The smell of ocean was unique. It had the taste of salt, the peaceful ambience, and a unique scent of ocean water. She paced over the wooden floors, looking over to the sailors who were busy exchanging conversation. As she made her way to her room, she made sure her steps were silent. She didn’t want to wake up the person who she had left asleep when leaving the room earlier. “Leaving me the first thing once you wake up,” said Dominic. His deep voice echoed across the wooden walls, making her shiver. She stared at his black eyes, smiling in response to his teasing grin. “I thought you might need to change your bandage to a fresh one,” she lifted her hand where it was holding a bandage.“Yes, I do need it,” Dominic pushed himself from the bed, leaning his back to the headboard while Rose prepared the scissors and the ointment that she had been told to use over his wound. Dominic gently unbutton his shirt which Rose noticed. Her ears turned pink as she could see from the corner of h
Dominic couldn’t have enough of the lips that he kissed. He pried open her lips, letting his tongue inside. His fingers run free over her back, fighting the urge to tear her dress. He instead used his gentle motion to undress her, making sure he was gentle as he undo the ribbon on her delicate back.Rose could feel the kiss getting wetter and in that thought, her toes curls itself on the bed. The heat that belonged to Dominic felt so hot but she refused to take off her hands that squeezed his firm muscles. She gulped as watching his sexy eyes gazing fiercely at her made some part in her body to tighten. Her lower back shuddered as his fingers gently caressed her skin.“I was here to bring you new bandage,” she whispered, wanting to stop as she didn’t think it was the right condition when he was wounded and poisoned.“Yes, you’re right,” he whispered. “Though now that your plan have failed, why don’t we do something else?”Dominic gently rested his head on her bosom, her throat gulpe
As she walked nearer, she found Dominic who settled his hand around her waist at once upon noticing her appearance.“When Lady Elizabeth escaped from the kingdom, or should I say, run away from there, she was suspected to be pregnant,” answered Andrius. “That is after she started meeting that human man.”Dominic frowned. “You have to know that I heard it differently. That my mother was forced to bear me.”“No, my apologies, I didn’t mean to argue your point.” Andrius quickly stopped him. “I have no saying in what had occurred between Lady Elizabeth and our captain. I was young at that time as well, lesser than the age of sixteen. Therefore I don’t know what had occurred. It would be better if you speak with the person involved.”“As in your captain?” Dominic raised his eyebrows looking at the man in front of him. Andrius who noticed his look started again, “Lady Elizabeth’s parents were the one who wish to find her daughter again. They believe to suddenly leave wasn’t something that
Dominic’s feet stepped forward. He could feel upon the sight, his head began to reel. A deep scream howled somewhere in his subconsciousness. The voice that belonged to his wolf would always sound calm or close to non existence but it was different when Rose came into picture. Just the sight of her standing beside a man who wasn’t him made his veins to tighten. His jaw clenched and his anger crawled the way his veins pop as he clenched his fingers.“Move away from her!” His wolf yelled, angered that another wolf was smiling with Rose. Dominic knew him and his wolf wasn’t one. They were separate. His wolf voices out the darkest thoughts inside him, twisting his mind, forcing doubt down to his throat, corrupting his mind with insecurities that he didn’t want to trust. Even though he hate to admit it, his wolf always find a ways to win. Dominic pulled himself together, fighting the urge to push down Andrius to the ground, teaching the wolf who Rose belongs to. “She’s mine!” His wolf
Rose rarely hear such tone from Dominic. There was a sense of loneliness that she could feel from him. She wondered what he had dreamt only to remember their conversation not long ago where he said he always dreamt of his past.She looked at his face. In her heart, she questioned. What had made Dominic ask for her wish? She knows he would always want to fulfill her wish but this time it was strange. She could feel how desperate he was. “What nightmare was it?” Rose whispered her words again, letting the ocean wind to float her voice to his ears. “You,” Dominic lifted his face to look at her, “I dreamt of a time where I lose you.”“You will never lose me. That was a dream, Dominic,” she whispered, wrapping her hands around his shoulder snugly. “Is that why you asked for my wish?”Dominic hummed. Truth to be told what he had dreamt was different. Indeed Rose had left him but that was all on her own wish. She didn’t disappear from him, she had decided to leave him. The nightmare put h
