The sky was so blue that there were no clouds in sight. If she wasn’t aware that she was staring at the sky she would think that the blue sky she was staring at was a curtain hung above her head.
She kicked her cramped legs and the rope tightened in return. Tears started to leak from the corner of her eyes. “Eon,” she whimpered in fear. “Please, help me.”
“Shut up!” A harsh voice and harsher kicks hit Lina on her thigh. “No one will come and save you!”
She bit her lower lip to stop herself from crying out in pain. She refused to give in to the torment that her abductor had given her in, as not to give him the satisfaction in his action.
She had been lying on the floor of this narrow boat and they had been traveling for quite a while now because she was already feeling the numbness of her back. She had no idea what was really happening. She thought she was just dreaming and the next thing she knew, everything was no longer a dream. She had no recollect
"Your ancestors. They are here to protect you."“My ancestors?” She asked in disbelief.Eon put down his hand in the water and Lina scrambled to grab his hand.“No, sweetheart. You see, they know that I’m not going to hurt you.”Lina stared at the calm water in bewilderment. She heard the agonizing scream from the men who were in the boat with her when they jumped into the water but Eon’s hand remained in the water and there was nothing.“Where are we?”He pulled his hand away from the water. “A few kilometers from the mine. This swamp had been here for a long time. And this swamp is the same swamp in your dreams.”“What?” She twisted her body to face Eon. “That doesn’t make any sense.”“A lot of things don’t make any sense. But from what I gathered, we are meant to be together. You are meant to be with me. In here. With me.&rd
The afternoon sun is about to kiss the sun goodnight, showing its glory one last time by turning the sky into a wondrous palette of colors only it can concoct. The way its array of colors spread out in the sky was a show stopper. Simply Magical.Just like how Eon and Lina were making magic on their own. Gasping for air and moaning in between as Lina moved her body in a dance as old as time on Eon’s lap. Her hair was floating around her face in every move, while Eon was holding the small of her back as he hungrily latched on Lina’s breast like a newborn child.They moved in unison, breathing the same magical air surrounding them. Their ragged breathing echoed across the calm water of the swapped. The faint whirring sounds of the chopper, indicating it no longer hovered above them, were all forgotten. They are only aware of the existence of one another. The union and the peak of release that they are after.Every move and groan that Lina produced, fuel
When they arrived in the cabin all of Eon’s men were gathered in the living room. Lina stepped closer to Eon and hugged his arm, hiding her flushed face. She vividly remembered now that some of Eon’s men were riding the helicopter with him and they hovered above them, watching them on the boat. And the idea that some of these men saw her and Eon making love on the boat embarrassed her to death.“Good to see that all of you are here. I’d presumed that nothing is wrong with any of you? None was hurt?” He scanned his men and all of them nodded. “Good. Good.” He nodded. “Give me a few minutes and I’ll be right with you.”He guided her to the stairs and walked her to their bedroom.“Eon—”“Shhh, you are my guardian. My mate. There is no reason for you to be ashamed of us. The men understand these kinds of things.” He cupped her face to face him. He could feel the anxiety
When he returned to their bedroom, he found out that Lina was still inside her walk-in closet. He shook his head in amusement with how much thought she was putting into clothes when their destination was just the forest. He almost laughed out loud with the irony of it all. But instead of teasing and bugging Lina about it, he went to the bathroom that happened to smell wondrous. Lina’s scent lingered in the air and he almost had a hard on if he didn’t take a freezing cold shower.The shower didn’t take long. He just washed off the dirt and the sweat from his body. He entered the walk-in closet, wrapped in nothing but a fluffy white towel around his waist. He went straight to the delegated drawers for his clothes. He pulled out another pair of jeans and a white shirt. He got board shorts and put them on. The shirt and jeans, he shoved them in a backpack. They are his change of clothes for later. He no longer has enough pairs of jeans here. Hence, the board sho
They were still on the ‘I’m not speaking to you terms’ when they left the cabin to go to Deep Forest to attend the Turning ceremony. But even when they weren’t talking to each other, Eon put on a thick wool jacket over her dress and a shawl covered her head to protect her from the cold. The sweet act almost made Lina wave the white flag first but she held her ground.The trip to Deep Forest was quiet and uneventful. It was just the three of them. Her—riding on Galan’s back with Ehann, running on his right.When they were about halfway from Deep Forest, the two slowed down because some of the wolves near the borders from the mining company were also on their way to Deep Forest. They are the young teens that will take part in the Turning ceremony. There are four teenagers—three boys and a girl.The four teenagers from the Rising Sun pack were accompanied by five adult wolves. One of them was their Alpha.She couldn&
When Eon said that the ceremony was about to start, her heart thumped in wild excitement. She kept on glancing over her shoulder as they climbed the bamboo staircase to the viewing deck. She didn’t notice the area when they were done in the open ground where the ceremony was about to happen.The viewing deck was almost full when they arrived. She pulled Eon’s shirt and was about to complain why they wasted time staying down when they could climb up here and get the good seats.“Hey, strangers!”The familiar tone of Elyon stopped her from being annoyed at Eon. Elyon was at the end of the viewing area and her smile widened when she saw that there were a lot of vacant seats on that side. She pulled Eon’s arm to urge him to walk faster.“The seat won’t go away and just to remind you that the ceremony won’t be as pretty as you think.”The seriousness in Eon’s voice stopped her in her tracks. In
After the chaotic mess that happened at the end of the Turning ceremony where Elyon jumped down from the viewing deck, claiming the unmoving new she-wolf, Edina while the rest of the young wolves were scattered all over Deep Forest and the adults who were tasked to follow the new wolves. After Eon and Ehann had a really good laugh because their premonition of Elyon having a mate twenty years his junior just happened. All the while the two were splitting their sides with laughter, she just watched them in amusement. It’s another side of Eon that she had witnessed. And in a few moments that she was watching Eon laughing at his friend's supposed misfortune, she had a glance of what Eon was like as a teen with his friends. When they finally stopped laughing, they all went down from the viewing deck because they were the only ones left. “Where did the other go?” “At the after party of course,” Eon grinned. “Are we going there too?” He cares
“When are you going to tell her about Larissa?” Ehann nodded in Lina’s direction, who was talking with Alpha Tomas.“Later…”He said with a sigh. It’s something that he doesn’t want to discuss with Lina as much as possible. She doesn’t want to tell Lina what will happen to Larissa after she was known to conspire with the pack that attacked the Deep Forest pack, resulting in some members of the pack being heavily injured and one dying.Larissa, together with his two half-brothers were confirmed to connive with the Lykanthos pack to attack the Deep Forest pack. Her two brothers were killed by Laurence with the help of the wolves from the Rising Sun pack. Larissa was caught escaping with the Alpha of the Lykanthos pack but the coward Alpha of the Lykanthos used her as a trap and escaped on his own. Larissa is not held prisoner in one of the secret dungeons of the Deep Forest.And it’s something that she do
