Punishment

I pulled my hand from him. I rose from bed. I winced as I felt my healing bruises around my body. My eyes surveyed around the room I am in. It’s a totally different room from the cold cell I knew.

And as if he knew the question in my mind, he explained why I’m here.

“This will be the interrogating room. At the same time, this is where you will stay.”

“You shouldn’t be here with me.”

My head remained lowered as he spoke.

“And why is that?”

“Shouldn’t you know that I can kill you here in a snap?”

“Shouldn’t you know that your body is not in the right condition to kill an Alpha?” he came back at me.

I smirked unconsciously. I looked around. The room is painted with gold on the walls. Furnitures were antique yet classic. Even the bed sheets felt premium something a slave shouldn’t have. The room is wide and spacious. Doesn’t look like a prison cell for an assassin.

“Too fancy for a slave,” I whispered but he still heard it.

“I found out something…”

I immediately felt my stomach tighten in fear of what they would have found out. I raised my head at him slowly as I tried to remain calm.

“We investigated your items…” he trailed off.

I swallowed hard.

“And?” I asked with my voice threatening to shake.

“I found out something.”

“I know. You already said it. Spill it,” I felt so impatient.

He smirked but then hid it anyway.

“You’re in this room because I found out you’re not from the lower class just like common Warrior Witches. From your items, you might be in the upper class. An Elite or a Noble. And you might be a slave here but you’re still from the upper class. You know the conflict between Witches and Werewolves and if they find out that you’re sleeping in the cell, conflict may happen.”

I stifled a laugh yet it didn’t have humor, just hiding my nervousness. They can’t find out about my identity. They can’t find out that I’m a Dival, daughter of the previous Grand Wizard.

“You’re judging your treatment towards me with my personal items? You’re dumb if you don’t know that Warrior Witches have the same privilege as the upper-classes. They have the privilege to have the same weapons as the upper-class Warrior Witches.”

He looked at me intently. Silence stretched at every corner of the huge room before he took out a familiar dagger from his pocket. My mouth opened as I saw my dagger. The light reflected on the emblem on it.

Sette. It was on the dagger.

”Only the upper-class can have personalized emblem on their weapons,” he said in a matter of a fact.

I smirked at him. My eyes stared at those tantalizing dark pair of eyes. He had pitch black irises. His long lashes made him look dreamier. He had a sharp jaw, thin but kissable lips, he had a clean cut on his hair. I haven’t seen him smile before and I had the urge to see him smile.

I blinked a couple of times realizing that I’m getting pulled into his presence. The pill I drank is starting to weaken because this time, I’m closer to him.

“And how sure are you that I’m really Sette?”

He narrowed his eyes on me. My eyes followed his tongue as he licked his lips. I immediately looked away when I felt the sudden thirst. Shit.

He walked closer to me and leaned his head closer to my ear. I felt his heavy hot breathing on my neck. I closed my eyes feeling too much tension in me.

“Let’s start the interrogation. Let’s stop with the flirting, shall we?”

My eyes widened a fraction and I snapped back to reality. What did he say?

“Bold of you to assume that I’m flirting with you,” I scoffed.

The side of his lips curled to a smirk. I felt my heart skip a beat. Damn. This is bad.

“Your eyes are flirting with me, Woman.”

“Excuse me?”

“Let’s start the interrogation or I won’t be able to hold back and just stay here all day.”

My jaw dropped. I couldn’t react properly with what he said. I can’t laugh about it even if I want to. It’s ridiculous! He’s ridiculous! He should have known that now that he met me, he’s bound to die one way or another.

I just shut my mouth and prevent myself from talking. There’s already tension building up between us and I don’t want it to grow more.

He sat in front of me and skimmed on the papers he’s holding. I don’t usually adore men. All my life, I was never interested in them. Except if they were one of those models who were ripped, toned, tall, godly features, and to die for presence.

But this man in front of me looks like he just came out of the magazine. He had his other leg bent on his knees making the muscles on his leg protrude. He wasn’t too much bulky, his body was in the perfect shape making women drool over him.

“Sette Val, right?”

I licked my dry lips as I eyed him.

“I can be anyone I want.”

He sighed like he knew it’ll be hard for him to squeeze something from me.

“I am giving you a favor here. You’re safe if I will interrogate you.”

“I didn’t ask for it,” I stayed cold and stern.

“Then what do you want?” he eyed me intently.

I looked away from him. I couldn’t handle the tension anymore. I don’t know if I’m the only one feeling the heat inside this huge room. For a big room, it seemed so small with Lane here with me. I cleared my throat to answer.

“Release me. Forget I came here.”

He shook his head in complete displeasure of what I said.

“I won’t. The last time I checked, you want me dead.”

My lips slowly made a smirk. He followed every move of my lips making me feel the small tingles in my body.

“How sure are you? I was at the forest to hunt. Unfortunately, the arrow I’m aiming to the deer was directed to your direction somehow.”

“Somehow?” he sounded intrigued.

I nodded.

“Yup! You don’t have to worry about your life since I don’t fancy a dog,” there was a hint of insult in my tone.

I expected him to be offended with my words and tone but instead, he looked challenged, interested even with my choice of words. I looked away when I felt the tension rising to the heavens.

His brows wiggled playfully as he tried to hide a smirk on his lips. He shifted on his seat comfortably and looked at me intently.

“Then you should worry for your life then,” he huskily spoke.

I breathed in an amount of air.

“W-why?”

“Because I’m kinda hypnotized by a Witch.”

What did he mean? I felt my heart hammer in my ribcage. My head hurt trying to process what he said. My breathing stopped as my eyes met his. Those eyes that held the night sky. It was dark, pitch black. But I saw stars shining.

“I have been thinking of a way to punish you. You attempted to kill me but failed. Your organization has abandoned you and you have nowhere to go because I won’t let you go.”

I gritted my teeth. My heart shouldn’t be beating this loud.

“You can kill me if you want to punish me.”

“I won’t do that.”

“How should I be punished then?” my lips shivered.

“Be my Luna,” his voice trembled with every word as my heart forgot to beat.

    Last KissesChapter 21I looked down at my hand, intertwined with Lane’s. My eyes stared at it for longer than I could realize. My mind is still digesting everything. I bit my lip as my gaze rose to Lane’s side. He looks happy, but the veins popping out of his head were evident for me to say that he’s been stressed. I still have no idea where he is taking me. I followed him as he guided me. A smile made way on my lips. I’m his Luna. His mate.I know I came here for his death… But… I am now taking a leap of faith. Now, I want every piece of him. I want him for myself. I can’t believe that he actually chose me. We’re now back at the headquarters. We stopped in front of a big oak door. He slowly opened it. My eyes glistened at what I saw. Inside the room revealed a glowing garden. Flowers were shimmering despite daylight. I moved closer to a red rose glowing in gold. I touched its petals as my fingers travelled down to its thorns.“Careful, the thorns sting,” I heard him whisper on m

  • An Alpha's End    Chapter 20

    YoursMy fingers traced every petal on the bathtub I’m in. It’s been an hour since my body is soaked on milk. The petals are turning pale, especially with the milk it floated on. I rested my head and noticed Jillian poured more milk on my hair. Jillian, Maurice, and Rimel surrounded me. They have assisted me with anything that I have been doing since the past three days. I don’t know if I should be thankful or annoyed. Surely. I had a ton of maids at the manor, but we all had privacy. This seems… I looked at Maurice, scrubbing my legs. Rimel is busy with preparing my clothes. Jillian poured more milk on me. I sighed heavily. “Is there something wrong, my Lady?” Maurice paused and asked. I pulled my leg from her and took the towel myself. I immediately sensed their urgency in helping me.“I think I’m finished with my bath.”I hurriedly went out of the bathtub, but they were fast, too. Before I could pick up clothes, Rimel already had it in her hands. She’s the older one among the

    As One“Lane, what are you doing here? You should be resting in your chambers,” Ashmita’s voice was shaking in fear.“What you are doing is treason!” I snapped back from my thoughts when I heard Lane’s voice thunder in the room. My eyes looked up at Ashmita’s helpless composure. Then my gaze traveled to Lane just behind Ashmita. All I could see was half his face. But even just half of it, I could feel the rage burning in his eyes. I gripped tightly on my chair as I thought of a way to escape, but I was hopeless too. “What do you mean? She harmed you! It is treason to kill the Alpha!” “And killing the Luna isn’t?” Silence invaded darkness and every corner of the room. It finally processed in my mind that Lane performed the ritual without my knowledge. But why would he? Why would he give me his essence while he sucked for my blood? I looked down on my wrist. There wasn’t any evident mark, but realization sunk into me when I saw the unhealed wound. I might be a witch without any po

    Survived Are my eyes closed? Everything was pitch black, I might think my eyes are closed. Silence stretched from every corner. I could hearmy sweat falling from my forehead down to the cold floor. My hard breathing was too evident. And no matter which direction my head would look, there was nothing but darkness. I can’t even sense anyone in the same room as me. But despite all the darkness invading me right now, only one person would stay in my mind. Lane…He must be alright. Now that he’s in better hands. My sigh echoed through the walls as relief poured through me. But my relief only lived for a while when I heard the creak of a door that seemed to be in front of me. My eyes closed abruptly when light killed darkness. And when the lights were turned on, the more my face squinted from the sudden light I had to absorb.My eyes slowly adjusted to the light. I blinked a couple times before I settled my gaze at the woman in front of me. The corners of her lips curved evilly. She de

    Love The royal blue color of the waters was painted with blood as I searched for Lane. I saw my pruned fingers but never minded it. My mind only spiraled looking around for Lane. I can never find peace if I can’t find him. I worked hard being on top of my game as a Warrior Witch in our organization. It only proved that I don’t need powers to be the best of the rest. But there will be days. Inevitable days where I feel the need to have powers.Where I curse the heavens for not blessing me one. What sin did I commit? What law did my family disobey for me and my sisters to suffer this fate?! When I almost slipped away from the hope I was holding on to, I finally saw Lane. He was wrapped around the seaweed. I swam as fast as I could. When my hand touched his cold palm, I hugged him tight like it could be our last. I pulled the pocket knife from one of my pockets as I free Lane from every hold the seaweed had of him. I felt myself losing air, but just in time, I was able to rise to the

    ShotGunshots echoed inside the mall. Amara chanted a spell and in a minute a bubble surrounded us, protecting us from the bullets. It made me thought of myself. If only I was an ordinary Witch. "We need to move fast. My spell won't last long." We ran like our life meant on it. Well, it does. We were about to exit the mall when an explosion happened at the exit. Debris fell, blocking the way outside. Amara and I looked at each other. We have the same thoughts in our mind but..."They're too many!" She shook her head. We ran to a safer place as she casted a spell. I saw her release small bubbles, in the shape of a bullet. When I saw her loading it to her gun, I immediatley know what her powers were. "You're a shield." She gave me her bubbles. I did the same thing, loaded it to my guns. "What am I supposed to do with this bubbles?" "It will shield them from us. If they shoot, the bullets will come back for them." The idea made me excited. The bullets are slowly getting in our di
