Confusing Heart
My back felt the soft mattress as Lane pinned me on the bed. I couldn't care less of what was happening around me anymore. How is my marking gone suddenly? How am I giving in this quickly?My body was just to fixated to his kisses that sent shivers on my spine. A moan just escaped from my lips when I felt his hand cupped my breast gently. My breathing ragged mountains as I felt the touch of his hand slowly approaching my wet folds.I didn't even know my jeans were already unzipped! And like a moth following the flame, I didn't care is I was burning with his every touch. I didn't care at all! I just kissed back and touch him all over his body.My hand travelled to his shirt. I didn't like the way our clothes were separating our skin. I want to feel him.I want feel his warmth and just be filled with him."Slowly," he chuckled.My fingers were already shaking from unbuttoning his jeans. My patience were slowly ripping second by second. I didn't even realize he was taking his time savoring every taste of me! I was just the one here being impatient.My hand froze and immediately, I felt like a cold water rushed onto me. My eyes were fixed on my hand holding his belt. My eyes blinked a couple time before I realize what I was really doing.I pulled myself from bed, away from him. This is not the plan. No. No. no.I saw the frustration growing in his face and I could tell, I also had the same expression. I felt the shivers throughout my body realizing what could have happened between us if I continued."G-get out," my lips trembled.He looked at me with his confused eyes, puzzling me like he couldn't find the other piece."Is something wrong?"I sneered."Yes! What were doing is wrong!"He stood up from bed and took a step closer to me. When he saw me took a step back, he froze from his steps."Sette–""You need to leave now.""Did I do something wrong? What's the problem, Sette?"I stifled a mocking laugh."Y-you're Marking!" I could feel the tremble in my lips as thought of a reason.Right, he's mating. And he could clearly see that I'm not. Though, I was a while ago, I'm still relieved that the pill worked just in time. It suppressed my Marking.His head dropped and I could feel the defeat in his presence. He shook his head and massaged his temples. My breathing was still fast like I couldn't catch air everytime his close."Just leave, Lane."He nodded, avoiding any eye contact with me. And without a word, he headed to the door and exited my room. When he finally closed the door, my knees felt week and I fell to the floor. I could feel my body shaking.My fingers brushed my plump lips. It's plump because...I couldn't think through the reason why it's plump."I kissed him. Fuck."That night still lingered in my mind after three days passed. I never dared to go outside my room. I still feel his kisses and guilt would just shower me.I came here to kill him. I was sure I would kill him. But now, I don't get the hesitation I'm feeling.I sighed as I slumped my body on the bed. I heard the a knock and I knew who would be brave enough to visit me."You should try to go outside, Sette," I heard Amara."I'm a prisoner," I answered while my eyes were fixed at the ceiling."Lane told me that you're allowed to roam around."My eyes closed tightly. I swear I felt the urge to moan his name that night and good thing I didn't. It would haunt me!"Still staying here.""At least go out."My brows furrowed. Why is she even pushing me to go out? I thought they hate me. I sat up on my bed and looked straight at Amara."Why are you persistent?"She sighed. She looked like she's been on battle grounds lately. Her under eye is dark. Her lips were dry and a bit pale. I'm still aware of the war outside this base. Is their world really this messed up? Then a thought immediately went to my mind."I mean you saved Lane. We have your trust–"I cut her off cause obviously that wasn't the reason."You want me to defend this pack?" I asked carefully.Silence stretched in every corner of the room and that was already a take away for me. I laughed without humor. One moment they want me dead and now they want me to protect them?"This is stupid. Whose idea is this?"She made an apologetic smile before she spoke."It was my idea and Lane approved of it."I rolled my eyes."You want me to go to war and battles after you almost killed me with that Blood Witch thing?" I asked sarcastically."I'm sorry...""It's a no," I said with finality."I know that would be your answer but you could think of it, you know? You have nowhere to go right now. Your organization might be hunting for you–""The mote reason I should stay here," I pointed out."And you could be a great asset to our pack.""You're using me as a weapon."She shook her head proudly."No. We will be your ally, Sette. If your organization comes looking for you, we can protect you and defend you as long as you do the same to our pack."I shook my head. I'm still bot budging in."Your pack. I'm not part of any pack."She sighed heavily."If I can't convince you, then, maybe... He will.""Who?" I asked nervously.Amara pursed her lips. My heart couldn't stop from jumping too much. I had a person in mind but I want to deny it. Please, not him.Just not him.When the door opened after a gentle knock, I felt my heart betrayed me. I felt all the flutters inside of me. My breathing hitched as I saw him.No. I'm not ready to see him. Not after what just happened in this room!"I'll just leave the room," Amara quickly stood up."No.""No!"I looked at Lane when we spoke together like we had the sane thoughts in our minds. This is ridiculous. I should be brave facing him. I should be killing him already but why am I even hesitant with just feeling his presence?There's definitely something wrong here.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
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
