All Chapters of Wild Curiosity: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

A wave of silence swept through the room. It all looked like the time stopped for a moment. I was frozen beneath his hold and we were both thinking. Well, I was just being realistic and I should be commended for still keeping a straight face. I was having mixed feelings—wanted to cry, scream, stay, hold, touch, do something dirty. I have my own fantasies and it's taking a lot from me to control it.He was about to talk when we heard a knock on the door. I eased myself away and went to answer it, the king's messenger at the door bowed.“ Milady, the king summons you.”“ Okay I'll be there in a sec.” I retied my hair and wiped off a lingering tear from my eye. I picked up my coat from its stand and addressed Julian.“ I'm going out. Remember to lock the door when you're ready to leave.” He just nodded. His expression made me feel guilty— like I've never seen him this broken before.When I got to the Kin

“mum!" Sylvia cried at the feet of he mother, sobbing profusely. Her mother who was backing her seemed unshakable even by her tears.“ mum please. Don't let me...I'm sorry!”“ you're sorry?” he mother chuckled.“ Don't let me. I've got a lot to do! ” she cried. “ I need to be on the watch mother. I need to be here.”“ I know you do have a lot to do. And you should not be sorry.”Sylvia continued to cry, gasping as if something was eating up her heart.“ Mum, the pain! It's too much for me. I can't leave. Please ...”“ I am your mother Sylvia!” her mother yelled. Sylvia's heart shrivelled.“ And I am your daughter!” she cried. “ I do not hate you anymore. I swear!”“ I know. You never hated me ” she said.“ I should be sorry. I want you to know that I always wanted the best for you...

A excruciating pain hit my forehead as I rolled back and forth on my bed. I've been like this all night, dreams of faces hunt my sleep. The room felt more stuffy and incubating than it'd ever been before and I had to give up on sleep. I washed my face, put on my coat and walked out. At least to get a little bit of fresh air since my room have been invaded by some beings threatening to take my peac. I took a seat at the garden, the moolight being the only source of light for me to see. Cold breeze slammed on my face. Just when I was starting to feel my headache disappear, someone joined me on my seat. I was shocked at first because I never noticed someone was coming but the person—it was easy to discern who it was. I knew it but uis smell, it was Julian. He wrapped his hands around my houlder and rested on it. My headache literally melted away. “ What are you doing out here thi

"She said I've met my mother before." Emiliar finally broke the silence that has enveloped us ever since Alistair left our midst. "But I don't think I have..."" Forget it." I winced. "Forget whatever my sister said. You are thinking too much, that won't help. All these things will reveal themselves later." I was speaking from experience. I dragged her off her seat."let's go check what they're doing out there."We hid behind the door. They were both talking. Alistair had her usual smile while he, his usual grin. She was wear some things on him. Alistair always had jewels to give. I was killing myself deep inside as I watched the both of them. Guilts? Yes. I've made a grave mistake by falling in love with a demon. I might end up just like my parents." Did you tell her about Joel and I?"I asked Emiliar who was rather lost in her own thoughts."Huh...you said?"She asked."Didn't I ask you to forget?""You know it's not that easy..."She hissed.

The next morning, when we were ready to leave. My instincts told me I was leaving something behind. Though, i didn't know what exactly it was. I check all I brought into the house, even Julian's. We were both ready and we had all our things with us. Then I had to reason myself. Maybe the being I'm searching for is here."Can I see all your sons? "I said to the old man who had smiles all over his was since the morning fell. It must have been with great honor that he has received us. Who else wouldn't feel that much honor anyway?He called out the six of his son, the same one I saw the night before. If any of the beings I'm searching for is among them, I would have felt our connection the very first time I saw them. When I started to doubt my instincts. I asked my final question."Are these all of your son's?" I asked him.The old man nodded. "These are my sons Milady."Julian was already looking at me strangely like I'm hallucinating. Like he said t
