Dominic watched as his grandparents hesitantly held their words. There were something that they didn’t want to talk about. Although he had seen from earlier how his grandparents would be apprehensive upon coming to some topic about his mother, now he could see their expression that were truly tightened in silence.Lord Salem sighed. He also knew how Dominic deserve to know about what happened, “We are not too proud of what had happened. It started with our family and Lord Starvos’s family. We both knew each other for quite a long time. His father was my closet friend back when I was still working as a knight.”“While his mother was my friend,” added Lady Catherine. “Seeing how we were both pregnant at the same time, we decided to have a little engagement between us. That if our children are the opposite sex, we would have them engaged to unite the two family.”Dominic didn’t felt odd with the arrangement as it happen in many family back in Essex. “Of course, we never planned to ignor
Rose was familiar with dislike as she get closer to Dominic. It was easy to notice the look from Starvos that were unwelcoming. Was it because she had peeked into his playing? Was he a shy person? But hearing his tongue that clicked and his comment, “A human?” She realized the problem was her.Rose placed her hands together in front of her waist, giving the man a bow of respect to start their meeting politely, “Yes, I am.”Starvos pulled his eyebrows together, “And how can you get inside this building? This is not a place where you could enter as you like.”Rose raised her eyebrows at the man. For all she knows, Dominic’s grandparents live alone in the mansion. This man and with his attitude and proud tone doesn’t feel like the servant working here.“If what you are saying is true then how did you come here?” Rose reflected his question, not wanting to back down after hearing Starvos’s pressuring tone. “What’s with your tone?” Starvos frown. “For a thief you’re a brave one. Is this
The dinner went on peacefully. Lady Iris’s eyes never once left Rose but she didn’t mind the lady’s gaze, knowing that the lady was ambitious. After the dinner, Rose and Dominic walked back to their new rooms. Opening the door, Rose was happy that they finally had time to be alone, where they could be open with everything without any second person listening to them. Dominic took off his shirt while she looked from behind, gulping her throat that felt a little dry. Dominic stepped forward near her, “Did you take a bath already?”Rose shook his head only to find him walking closer to her, still shirtless. Rose didn’t know where to place her green eyes as Dominic’s bare chest lean forward, closer and closer to her face.“D- Dominic?” Rose stuttered, her hands clenching the bedsheet she sat on, feeling the need to hold on to her breaths in fear of fainting. “You always smell sweet,” Dominic started when Rose saw how his frowned knit tightly. “But I’ve been smelling this odd scent from
18+Rose held to his fingers, her eyes were magically drawn by his black ones. When he leaned forward for a kiss, Rose closed her eyes, an action she learned after their previous kisses. Feeling his fingers on her, Rose’s finger curls, she deepened the kiss, wanting to taste Dominic with her senses.Dominic enjoyed how his Rose become bolder, loving how she had began to take her own action, diving into the pleasure. To know how much she wanted him somewhat heightened the pleasure from their kiss. Dominic pushed his fingers underneath her dress, his hand trailing over her milky skin. It was hard to say that touching her was enough and Dominic grinned when he felt her fingernails sinking in his back. He gently turned her around, with his hand pulling down the white stockings and unhooking her garter. Rose blushed as she could feel Dominic’s kisses on her bosom and her hips. His naughty finger had pulled down her underwear, stripping her down. Thankfully she still had her dress, that
Rose couldn’t hope the shivers crawling over her skin. She couldn’t to stifle her voice while handling the pleasure. For a moment, she could feel how the lingering release hum on her body. She briefly opened her eyes only to see Dominic whose eyes were glistened in heat. She couldn’t help but feeling the heat she had just released tightening again in her lower stomach. Dominic wiped his lower lips, smiling before he kissed her forehead. “Let’s go to sleep now,” Dominic whispered and Rose stared at him blankly.“That’s it..?” She whispered. She was pretty sure it shouldn’t have ended here and there was more to come. Dominic raised his eyebrow and his provocative smile reappeared, “Was that not enough for you?”Not enough?! Rose’s cheeks blushed and she stared at him, feeling accused, “You know that wasn’t what I had meant.”Dominic ruffled the crown of her head where he still felt that his scent had covered her as how her sweet rosey scent had wrapped him too.“Of course I know but
After their little adventure together in the bedroom that had taken lesser than a hour, Dominic had went down the bed. As Rose wondered where he was going, she found him entering the bathroom only to come back not long after, bringing with him a big wooden bathtub and a lukewarm wet towel.He walked back to her side, gently placing the warm towel over her stomach where his trace was still lingering at. Rose was about to tell him that she wasn’t tired and how she would be able to clean after herself, knowing that he had done more than her. Upon seeing his lovely smile from above as he enjoyed taking care of her, she decided to stop, letting herself to bask in his love language.When he folded the towel to wipe her inner thigh, he noticed how he kept staring at him. “How was it?”“Good..” Rose whispered. “It’s my first time.”“I know,” he chuckled at her innocent words.“But not yours?” Rose whispered, finding his eyes that settled on her for a while.“It is not a fun story but I never
How surprised was Rose to come back and found the wilted flower she was about to take care has regained back its freshness, as though the time had turned back to that when the flower hasn’t been touched or sullied?Not long after, Dominic came back with the tools she had asked him. Being meticulous, he hadn’t asked for the servants to help him, taking everything to his own hand.Rose panicked when she heard the footsteps but relieved to see Dominic. As he came next to her, Dominic noticed the frown that settled on her forehead. He placed the tools down, looking at her before moving his gaze to find the fresh flowers she couldn’t quite hide with her small body.“This…” Dominic’s words had stopped halfway as he was shocked to find the flowers becoming fresh again. He had seen and touched how the flower had wilted on his own then what was that? “How did this happen?”Rose shook her head, hiding her hands behind her, “I… don’t know. I was thinking to bring some towel since I cut my finger
Rose felt her knees weaken as though she had been struck by a bolt. She couldn’t believe what she sees, finding her own sister, Josie in the mirror as though she could travel between dimensions. But she knew she hadn’t traveled, this was a vison…Out of curiosity, Rose touched the mirror, wondering if she could enter only to feel the cold hard surface. It was still a mirror but a mirror that is able to show her vision as she wished.Josie, on the other hand, appeared to be covering herself with a cloak as she had entered a hidden space. She looked nervous, constantly looking behind her as she made her way into a dark room.“Josie?” Rose whispered yet her sister couldn’t see or hear her. Somehow seeing Josie alone as she walked down the pitch black space made her felt worried. Why was she alone? Why didn’t she stay in the castle? Many questions flooded Rose’s head when she could hear another footsteps that alerted Josie. Her older sister’s face became startled with fear and at once sh
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
