Chapter Ninety: Death By...
His hands gripped the steering wheel more tightly than he wanted to.It was unnatural, wholly so, that he would feel this giddy because she was in his car, next to him, filling the air in the small space with the scent of sweet cherries, a dash of perfume and sweat from their activities in the library.That he was why her lips remained flush, and hair mussed beyond decorum made his heart beat faster.His hand reached for the stereo to fill the silence his comment on her scent induced.He didn’t want this moment to be sexual; if it were, she would disregard anything they discussed as part of his lust, so he focused on the road before them.But despite his warning, he could feel her not-so-innocent gaze on him.Her mere existence weakened his control beyond belief, especially after Red Graw.Every moment since then had felt like borrowed time, that she was again trying to shut him out did not help.If he hadn’t followed her, she wouldn’t have told him about Rhett finding a mate; she wou

Chapter Ninety-One: My Hair
Marko’s first instinct was to turn to the first exit out of the highway, it'd mean they would delay in reaching their destination, but he couldn't push her away.Nothing in his being could push the blasted woman away.Her tongue traced his tip, stilling him briefly in his search for a place to park, but the portions of the road were lined with blockers.He had never been this desperate to park before, it was not that he was not confident in his driving ability, but nothing in him could maintain split focus when it came to her.The feel of her warm wet mouth parting to fit his full length caught him off guard, causing him to step on the accelerator.“God…”He uttered as his gaze darted wildly on the road.She may have said the headline as a joke, but at the moment, it felt like a reality.The feel of her squeezing him in her mouth caused a groan to escape him, but it was the way she sucked lightly, with her tongue cushioning from her teeth, that caused a groan to escape his lips.He ne

Chapter Ninety-Two: Everything {I}
Marko "Do you love me? Do you still think of me? Am I in your mind, your dreams, or somewhere in your heart? Answer me, and I will ask nothing else that displeases you...please, Alba." A scoff escaped her lips before she turned her gaze to the sky. She wouldn't answer him; he could tell from the tightness with which she bit her lip. "Do you?" He pressed. "Is this fun for you? Do you enjoy toying with me? Is that it? Is that what is going through your mind?” She took a step back when he neared her, so he stopped. A sigh escaped her before she sealed her eyes forcefully with her fingers. "Alba." "Don't 'Alba' me. What the hell do you think I am, your emotional support animal? Am I your pet? What am I to you that you can ask me such a question after rejecting me." "I didn't want to reject-" "Yes, you did. If you didn't want to reject me, you would have asked me to be your mate, as simple as that.” He hadn’t expected his words to erupt her…no, that is a lie; he wanted them to.

Chapter Ninety-Three: Thank Heavens
The scent of mint and eucalyptus floods me soothingly.The back seat of his car is spacious, but not spacious enough that it can hold our bodies together, yet, we squeezed to sleep for the night with his arms around me and my face pressed to his chest.It is morning now; the birds outside seem to grow louder in their chirping as if they longed for me to leave Marko’s arms and regain my sanity.For all my exhaustion, sleep did not find me, while he rested like an angel, occasionally stuffing his nose in my damp hair—I had to rinse it with bottled water from his dashboard—I spent the night watching him.My eyes, for the nth time, take in the length of his lashes, he is too handsome to be this careless with his words, but it must be my fault for being weak against him.Despite the thoughts roaming my mind, I nuzzle my face into his chest and listen for his heartbeat.Its loudness makes the perfect ASMR background, especially with his breathing.His body radiates enough heat that I do not

Chapter Ninety-Four: Work
“Are you okay?” Rhett’s voice sounds, it’s distant but there. The pounding of my head takes away most of my focus. “Let’s get started on the west bay. If we-” Light-headedness floods my body, halting my instructions; a wobble claims me before strong arms steady me. “You need rest.” “I’m fine.” “We can pick the project up tomorrow, Alba.” “I said I’m-” A sharp throb pierces my head, causing me to fall silent. The scorching desert sun does not help, but neither does the fact that I last ate yesterday morning. “Fine, a break it is.” I utter as I let him lead me to the car that would take us to our temporary residence in Mist. The project I tackled after the masquerade ball ended relatively quickly, but I could not- would not return to the capital, so I took Magnolia in on her offer. It is no miracle that Rhett chose to follow me to Mist, it is, however, one that this is our third month, and we have yet to discuss the ball or acknowledge its impact on our relationship. We dis

Chapter Ninety-Five: Child
The restaurant’s walls were lined with parasitic plants that maintained their bright green even in the desert heat, so air-conditioning for the win. I like the earthen feel the plants give the restaurant, and while their choice of lighting was a warm yellow meant to appear soothing, I feel anything but soothed.I have only ever read of terms like ‘cuckold’ in books or really layered pornos, yet I am about to enter such an arrangement.Well, I guess there is a first for everything; still, I should appreciate that Rhett looks more nervous than I do.This is the third time he has picked up and dropped his fork; our meal has yet to arrive, so he should not have any business with the cutlery yet-How cute, like a schoolboy meeting his crush.No.I shouldn't think this way; our time together could be coming to an end; I mean, how long would they let me interfere in their heaven-bound match? A few months max if I make my presence too noticeable.Yet again, I will have to minimise my presence

Chapter Ninety-Six: Choose Me
"What- what do I do? I do not want him to think of me as a child; I don’t want to lose my mate, not to you or anyone."“First of all, dress your age.”I utter as I walk toward her; my hand reaches her cheek, then lowers to her lower lip, which is covered in lipstick too dark for anyone not posing as a dominatrix.“That’s my only free advice; you’d have to bargain for the rest.”“Bargain?”I pull away from her and check the stalls. After ensuring they are empty and that we are the only two in the room, I speak."I need the title of Luna till the end of summer to get rid of...a few ghosts. In that time, I can train you in social etiquette.""Social etiquette, from a social pariah? You think I do not know of you?""Right in the heart."I press my hand to my chest in emphasis."To break the rules, you must know them. Plus, I am still relevant even if I am a ‘social pariah’. I receive thousands of invites to social events; I just happen to talk shit at them, but how many do you have? How r

Chapter Ninety-Seven: Christ
"What?""Stay with me, Alba. If you go to him right now- he isn't stable, and you might-""Isn’t that precisely why I should be with him?"The ringing in my ears only seems to increase the more he speaks."Alba!"I start for the door, but his hand on my forearm is quick.“Rhett, I-I have to go.”The tremble in my voice gives away my desperation; I shouldn’t feel this terribly for something- someone I want nothing to do with yet…"I'll reject her, so pick me. I will not leave you."“What?”What in God’s name is he talking about?Why would he bring this up now?“I have to go!”“I am ready to drop everything for you, Alba, so please, please, don’t go.”"You are not rejecting her in my name but your fathers. Don't pin this on me! Don’t make me responsible for your choices."“But I want you! I-”His hand on mine trembles, perhaps with more desperation than my voice.“I want you to stay as my Luna, as my wife, stay by my side Alba. All I ask is that you don’t go to him now; wait until the f

Chapter Ninety-Eight: Everything {II}
"We can go home." Rhett offers. "No, no, I can go; you should stay. I think you are getting more done than I am." "I am not leaving you alone. We stay, or we go, together." His words sound sweet, but they only confirm that he doesn't trust me. I don't trust myself either, so this may be for the best. "Then we stay: I think they need me to purify something, right?" I turn to pose my question to the worker who is still eavesdropping on us. "Ah! Yes, there was a rupture in the pipes caused by water pressure." “Show me.” I utter, then detach my hand from Rhett to follow the man. After aiding him, more tasks awaited me...all of which I performed subpar because nothing in me was present. Still, the day ended, and without work to distract me during our drive home, my mind once again began to stray. It did not help that it was raining, a miracle and cause for celebration due to our efforts here, but all it does is increase my gloom. Still, I have to wait till the end of the week f

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Unfair
An eerie agony filled him when he woke up alone in the car. It was stupid that he expected her to be there.He had fallen asleep with a sense of joy his mother had warned about, awakening to the emptiness in his arms and in an instant, his joy was reduced to an illusion.Yet again, she left him.Yet again, he woke up alone when he was certain he had her.He had gotten nothing, not even a note on her departure—only an announcement from Magnolia two days later that she had decided to visit Mist with her fiancé to work on a project whose end was predicted in a decade; he couldn’t even summon her back to the capital because her arrival had been presented with rainfall that had been journaled by the news team as ‘miraculous’.She would always leave him whenever he turned away from her, he realised belatedly. Even his dreams were punctuated by her absence.His days grew heavier and duller the more she thrived in Mist. He lived on her image in the newspaper and their six-month promise. He wo
