“Do you remember Elara? The girl that you saw in my wallet?”
‘How can I forget?’ She thought to herself but held her tongue. She doesn’t want to say something that she would regret. And she’s quite sure that any words that would come out of her mouth right now, is something that she will end up asking for an apology later on.
“She’s my Luna. I guess you already knew that since you asked Larissa.” He watched the dilemma dance in Lina’s eyes. He could clearly see that she had a lot of questions but she chose to be mute. “She’s buried here,” he gently said, pointing to the mold of soil, covered with grass under the tree.
A soft gush of wind blew and Lina was transfixed. Her eyes glazed over to Eon then painfully followed Eon’s finger and it seemed like the world stopped spinning on its axis. The wind whistles in the distance, shaking the branches of the tree. She looked up and scoff
The wind blows and whistles. And once more the leaves of the tree fell around them like confetti, but this time, Lina felt that the tree was congratulating them as it gently swayed in the soft breeze of the wind. “You chose me?” Eon dropped a chaste kiss on her lips. “Yes,” he answered. “For always and forever.” Lina’s chin trembled as she stared at Eon’s eyes staring deeply straight to her soul, soothing all the insecurities and doubts that she had in her heart. “I chose you, two.” She laughed a bit shakily. The love word was being avoided but she felt that it wasn’t the word they need to hear today. The arms that were circling her frame, the eyes that were staring right back at her, and those lips that were about to descend into her waiting lips were more than enough. Eon, bringing her and introducing her to Elara—his Luna is more than enough. The rest, they could slowly uncover them as they go through their life together. A sudden thrill ca
Eon listened to the howling and looked at Lina. “It’s time for us to leave.” “Who was howling?” She didn’t wait for Eon to get up. She was wiping her arms when Eon pulled her to face him. “What?” Her brows creased. “You can hear that?” The surprise in his voice was evident. It’s the first time that Lina heard a howling. She heard them before but couldn’t recognize them. She used to think that it was just a random wild animal in the forest. “Yes. Why?” She stared at Eon for a moment before understanding dawned upon her. “I can recognize it,” her voice was full of excitement. “I can now!” She pulled Eon’s sleeve and tugged it as if he couldn't hear her and needed to get his full attention. He reached for her head and caressed her hair. “Yes, you can now.” Her grin was so big and wide. She was about to jump on Eon’s arms when he said. “I have to shift because we are going to meet Briare halfway and then we are on the way home.” “W
She was submerged in the warm water with a jazz song playing in the background, and her eyelashes fluttered as she closed her eyes. The water was so good in her skin, it was pulling her to sleep. And something she had already thought of as something that won’t happen again happened.She recognized the murky water as soon as she opened her eyes. The cold seeped in her skin as she shivered from being in the water for so long. Darting her gaze left and right, she hurried to get out of the water. She had been in this dream so many times already that she knew what would happen next.When she reached the bank, she whispered. “Galan…Galan?” An eerie silence replied to her call. The chill of terror ran through her cold body when Galan was nowhere in sight. She grabbed a dried twig and pulled herself up. Her knees were trembling but she did not dare stop. A voice kept on screaming inside her head, “run! Run!” Sobbing she crawled on her four
‘Babe, breaking your heart is like suicide because my heart is the first one to break when you are hurting.’Eon’s words echoed in her mind, melting her heart. Her hands moved as she smirked at him who arched his brow with the naughtiness playing on her face. He let Lina push him to bed and straddled him.“You better finish what you’re gonna do.” He smirked, putting his clasped hands behind his head, using them as his pillow. He watched Lina slowly pop the buttons of his polo shirt.“Why do you think I won’t finish what I’m about to do?” A devilish smile curved her lips that made Eon groan. He was so effing aroused. She looks so alluring with her hair falling over her shoulders, and the way her long fingers take her time unbuttoning his shirt while running her tongue over her lower lip that she would bite every time a button would be released from its buttonhole. Once she finished popping the buttons of
The nights seemed short. Too short for Lina and Eon because ever since they bonded, they were like a pair of rabbits in bed. Eon no longer goes out to check the perimeter. He had delegated the task to his men, letting them work double-time and without rest. But none of them complained.She rolled to her side but before she could move, she was pulled back to Eon’s arms. She glanced at him and her brows creased because he was asleep!“Eon,” she elbowed his stomach. “I need to pee.”He just mumbled but instead of letting her go, he tightened his arms around her and nuzzled her neck. Breathing deeply as though he was inhaling not just her scent, but all of her.This habit of Eon always gets her nerves every morning. “Eon, I’m telling you, let me go. Now!” She tried to push him with force but to no avail. He simply nibbled her neck, oblivious to what she was telling him. The way his skin and his warm breath
The day seemed to be just any other day. They woke up, hugging each other in bed. She had to beg Eon to let her go so that she could get up and use the toilet. And just like usual, he had to make things difficult for her as he spent his sweet time kissing and squeezing her like he didn’t already last night.Now, after they took a shower together, which also quickly became a morning routine, Eon went down first to cook. Lina still abhors the kitchen and won’t ever try to do anything in it. She started to like baking when she was with Beatrice. Her thoughts float to Beatrice and wonder how the old woman was. She didn’t ask Eon about her or what was her reaction when Eon packed everything she owned in her apartment and moved it. She should ask Eon what excuse he said to the old woman. Besides being nosy, she was nothing but good to her. She put a mental note to contact her one of these days and if everything settled down, maybe, she could visit her.&ldq
The wind howled in the distance and Lina pressed herself to Eon’s side trying to make herself small. It is one of those times when she doesn’t want to be seen. She just wanted to disappear but she can’t.Masaya had already prepared the room that she would use for the ritual. The room wasn’t really a room. It’s more of a corner at the far end of the room. There’s a divan under a huge glass window and from what she heard, the moon can be seen rising from it. A low round table is in front of the divan. There are a lot of things on top of the table that Masaya is currently cleansing. She had lit incense and other dried leaves and the smell of it burning floated in the room.Eon and Alpha Aaron were with her as she waited for Masaya to finish what she was doing. She no longer wears the clothes she wore when she left the cabin. She was given a white long dress that looks more like sleepwear. Her hair was hanging in her shoulder unrestricte
“Stop pacing!” He told his son who was like a top that won’t stop spinning in front of the door. They were told to step out for Masaya to start the ritual. Eon halted his steps when he heard the annoyance in his father’s tone of voice. “I can’t help but worry!” “Son, there is nothing that we can do but wait. Lina is the one that will journey inside her inner self. We can’t do anything to help her.” Eon looked at his father but didn’t say anything. He remembered the last time they were waiting in front of a closed door. It was the day his Luna was born but took the life of Auntie Lyka, the wife of Uncle Elaron, the Beta of his father. That night haunted his life. The pain of Uncle Elaron that he lost his mate and the mother of his children. The howl of mourning that Uncle Elaron did that night was something that stayed in his young heart. And later on, he understood the pain on his own for his Luna—Elara died because of cancer. He heaved a deep sigh an
