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
Rose still couldn’t understand what the magician had told her. What he meant by her being the same as him. It was clear they are different. She wasn’t someone who is bloodthirsty. She couldn’t use magic like he did. Even if she search for any similarities between them, she couldn’t find anything. He was a man who seemed to be on set on killing the werewolves while she didn’t know they were real and not a curse until the other day. She began to wonder why the magician was set on calling her as his kin. Why won’t he attack her?The only reason was because she and him was similar. In a way where she could use magic like him. “He said that we are same and you are different. He didn’t like how I helped you, claiming I should be on his side,” Rose responded with a sigh. “So I come to the conclusion that I might be able to use magic like him.”“He knows about you just by a glance?” Dominic questioned, raising his eyebrows. “Even if you are able to use magic like he does, what makes him s
When he stood up, his build towered the rest of the wolves. They were all similar creature with blessed figures and stronger physic than humans, resulting to them having a normally taller body. But their leader was different. He wasn’t only tall or big. His body was the body of someone who had trained themselves against war. His muscles were firmer than any steel around them and his intimidation was something that everyone in their kingdom feared.He didn’t want to believe what he smelled as he knew it had been almost two decade since he smelled this scent coming from his mate. “Bring me that letter now,” he demanded. Remenia walked quickly, feeling fearful as he settled the letter on his hand. He feared that after reading the letter, their leader would only have a bigger outburst of anger. Dian who walked near him, softly whispered, “Was that letter really written by Lord Stavros’s mate’s son?”“Shush!” Remenia shut Dian who could still be at ease in such situation. He could only
The guests had filled the entrance of the castle faster than how a fire would spread. Colors filled the white walls as not a single place inside was missed from being decorated. Some of the guests gladly greeted Dominic and his wife, Rose. They had acknowledge her soon and even called Dominic “duke”. As soon after the incident, Dominic ruled out is father’s death and take over the duchy, being the new ruler of his fief. “Congratulation on your marriage, I apologize for being late with my words of happiness, Duke Dominic,” said one of the guest, Mr. Hanggs. “It’s nice to see you too, madam Rose.”“Pleasure to meet you,” Rose greeted the man’s words back. “How is the land now to you, Mr. Hanggs?” Dominic asked the wise man who seemed to be quiet. “It does feel different now. I gradually found people who could suddenly fill empty barrel with water as miracle instead of fearing them. I’m also glad to see how wise our King is as he had rooted off all the corrupted royals. Now Essex fee
The ground shook and the impact of the explosion launched both Dominic and Rose backward. When Rose couldn’t hold him tighter anymore, she almost slipped from his back and fell. Seeing that, Dominic changed to his human form, capturing her body even though he was on air and shielded her in a tight hug as they roll down across the cold floor with a harsh thud. Both Shawn and Gallahan was thrown backward. They tried to nail their feet on the floor to no avail as the extreme explosion would had destroyed the entire land if not because of the shield that Gallahan had perfected for years from his life. The entire world turn black for a moment and by the time it turn brighter again, Shawn saw Gallahan who had sprawled across the floor and Balbazor who had been reduced into a scorched human corpse. Even after that however, Balbazor didn’t stop moving. He crawled with his body like a snake, disregarding how his fingers had been turned into ash. No one could ever see his features anymore, o
Gallahan faced off Balbazor alone. It was a crazy feat to not even die after receiving the harmful attack that was made to eradicate humans and Gallahan’s performance so far have shocked everyone including Balbazor himself. “You are agile,” commented Balbazor. “But if this tentacles weren’t around me, I would have destroyed you in seconds by now.” “Making excuses now? When you killed my family with your curse, you were extremely silent. I’ll put that mouth of yours to rest too,” Gallahan quirked a smirked, urging anger and fuming Balbazor. The ancient demon opened his mouth again but this time, Gallahan had a smarter option. Rather than shielding himself, he rushed forward. Balbazor smiled, thinking how foolish this human is for coming on to him face to face but he was startled as he saw Gallahan had dodged his previous explosion attack. This time, Gallahan murmured a spell and a sharp blue light appeared from his hand which went straight directly to Balbazor’s thick neck. The an
“Brother, are we not related?” Young Shawn’s voice echoed against his ears. Dominic looked down at the child that had overheard the conversation of the adult. Gently he wrapped his fingers around his brother’s little ones and gave him a gentle smile, “Does it matter? Nothing will change even if we aren’t related, you will always be my brother.”Back to the present, Dominic found himself yelling at Shawn’s name as Balbazor had thrown a powerful magic at them. Rose’s eyes snapped open, showing the glistening green eyes of her had changed into purple. At the same time she uttered her spell, the wall broke. Dominic took no chance. He jumped from the staircase, landing down his two feet as a wolf and ran after Shawn. Surprisingly, Gallahan had stood in front of Shawn, shielding them both from the explosion. “I told you to stay away child!” Gallahan yelled to Rose who had rebuilt the wall.“I can help you ease the miasma,” she said, convincing the man only to see him frowning in disagre
When Dominic and Rose arrived at the foot of the door, they found that the glow of purple light had stopped and was quickly greeted by the roar of a monster. “It’s Balbazor, the ancient demon,” Rose explained, jumping down from his body. Dominic shook off his fur and turned into his human form, standing right beside her fully clothed. Although there are other pressing matter she couldn’t help and pointed out, “You can be clothed now?” “Hm?” Dominic looked down on himself, “Right I got taught by the other werewolves how to do that the last time we met.” Rose smiled, thinking how surely the relationship between him and his father had evolved into something closer where they could teach and talk to each other eye to eye. Seeing the progress, she felt moved. “Well what is with this Balbazor?” Dominic pushed the door open for her, they both entering the mansion only to feel the ground beneath them shaking. “He is the ancient demon who had formed contract with the first sorceress. She
Gallahan wasn’t daunted by the fact that Balbazor was more than fifth fold of him, looking even bigger and monstrous. Shawn could feel that demon had no pity or hesitation on him, willingly killing anyone who stood on his way. For a moment Shawn questioned how he could ever kill this monstrous being in front of him, finding it abhorrent that his entire instinct yelled that killing it would be close to impossible. Even coming near the monster he could feel the brimming heat that would burn his skin. “Shawn,” Gallahan called his attention to make sure the younger man wouldn’t feel daunted and eaten alive by his own fear. Shawn then watched Gallahan who in comparison seemed to be eagerly waiting for this chance to come his hand. It was something he had been waiting for a long time… finally he could avenge the death of his family who all ended due this demon’s twisted curse! “I want to kill you, you won’t even believe how much I have been looking forward to this day. My heart is beati
Dominic’s silver eyes also noticed the swirl of purple glow from the black mansion and turned his head again to the view before him. “What did you and the Master talked about?” Inquired Dominic while they run through the forest. “I told him that I will do something about the demon inside Isaac if he could help me end my curse but then he surprised me by saying that he doesn’t need help.” Rose responded. “I trust him.” “I do think he is someone who wouldn’t hurt his fellow sorcerer, you weren’t wrong in trusting him,” Dominic encouraged her. “But that sound too good to be true. He always ask people for payment if he help them.” “He did ask for something, he said to continue fooling my demon, Babylion,” uttered Rose. “I asked him why and he told me so he could use Babylion to kill that ancient demon in response.”“So this entire charade is because of him.” Dominic narrowed his eyes. They can’t seem to trust the Master completely, that man would do anything if it means to fulfil his
Shawn’s eyebrows furrowed as he saw a bright purple glow appearing from the room where the master and Isaac had fought in. As the master’s hand had been touched, Isaac had fulfilled his promise to erase the curse that plagued the Master. This should have call for a celebration regardless of the Master’s wish of never leaving the cave. But by fulfilling Isaac’s promise, the demon in him finally demanded for his reward and that reward was… for him to manifest into the world inside his body!When something suddenly clicked in his mind, Shawn bubbled out of anger.“Damn it! Damn it!” Shawn yelled, finally realizing the big mistake that he made by trusting that damn sorcerer king! He rushed out of the room, questioning everything that the sorcerer had done. He first of told him to imbue his magic on the crystal ball as if doing that would help. He said that by calming Isaac, he could convince him to drive out the demon inside. He also claimed that he wouldn’t kill Isaac thus why he had
Rose could feel the dark magic that entered her skin, crawling in such a disgusting way that she wanted to hurl but she couldn’t. There was something that was stopping her from moving and she couldn’t understand it as it felt slightly different when compared to the demonic magic that he uses on her. “Rose, make my life more colorful, won’t you?” Whispered Babylion. “Now go and betray your beloved. I want to see his face twisting in pain. From your memories, he seemed to the most fun to mess with.” Rose wanted to say no, she wanted to yell and disagree with Babylion’s words but she couldn’t move. She then had the sudden idea to play by what Babylion wanted and nodded her head slowly, agreeing that she would betray Dominic while her eyes turning unfocused, looking exactly similar as to someone who had just been bewitched.“Good, now play with me.” Back to the present, Rose run through her thins hands between her hair and pushed the golden locks to the back of her head, she sighed hea
