Cursed Dream
This shouldn't be a question at all! Putting me to the battle field? Letting me touch a weapon when they accused me of killing Lane which is kinda true. If they let me outside of my room, go to the war, defend, I might just kill Lane.But of course, the only reason why I'm not going outside of my room was just to avoid him. I don't know if the pill was not working anymore but...I'm feeling something I shouldn't be feeling. I diverted my eyes from Lane when I felt his hot gaze burning me."Convince me all you want but I'm not going anywhere out of this room," I started.Silence remained in the room. It was the awkward silence that I don't want to experience."Okay. Amara, can you leave us for a moment?"My eyes widened at Lane's words."You can't c-convince me, Lane," my voice broke. I'm suddenly feeling the chills with the idea of me and Lane, alone in one room."I'll just leave.""Amara," my voice raised.She looked at me with questions in her eyes. She's getting weirded out by my actions and I should just act normally. Damn this.My eyes followed Amara's steps exiting my room. My eyes shut close as Amara finally left me with Lane in this room. I darted my gaze at Lane coldly. I want him to know that my decision is final and it's better for him to leave.Now!"How are you feeling?"That was the first question and I thought I was dreaming. He sat comfortably on of the sofas in front of my bed. I wanted to strike out a laugh. But...He's just too comfortable! And I'm too nervous with just his presence! Why is he even acting normal when we almost did the deed?"How am I feeling? I would feel better if you leave, Lane.""Is it still about that night?"Okay. He's not pretending. He eyed me intently that I felt the flames were warming my cold heart."W-what about that... night?""Pretending, I see."I bit my lip. I can't play like a dumb ass in front of him. Not now when obviously, he knows what's happening."Everything about that night is wrong.""Is that why you don't want to go outside your room?"My eyes watched as his tongue glided to his lips, licking it. I felt my throat dry that I had to look away."No," I shook my head defensively."Then why?"His voice was calm and I could just easily compare it to my shaking one. I swallowed the knots forming on my throat."I'm a prisoner here. Don't you get it, Lane? I could kill you now."He smirked and bit his lower lip."Then why aren't you doing it?"I gasped lightly. Is he challenging me? Is that it? I pursed my lips. If that's what he wants then...No. I just recovered and the last thing I should be doing now is to fight with Lane. I know he's strong. From his toned body, I'd guess I would be having a 50/50 survival if I fight him."I'm not doing it," I shook my head."Why not?""You're teasing me.""Really?"I paused for a moment realizing he's misinterpreting my words."I mean, not that way of tease. Just... uh... you know? Just leave. I don't have time to have some shitty chitchats with you."He made a pout and brushed his fingers on his chin. I could hear my heart raising from too much tension. His lips curved to a mischievous smile and my heart is just going crazy.I don't know if it's because of that night or the pill is just not working. It must work. I mean, my mark vanished.I sighed heavily and went to the door. I was about to open it so Lane could leave but I felt his hand brushed on the back of my hand holding the door knob. With just one pull, the door closed with his force.My breathing stopped when I felt his hot breath on my neck. This is absolutely not what I signed up for."We are not gonna pretend like what happened was nothing, Sette."His voice chilled and ignited my sleeping spirit. I bit my inner cheeks just to fight off the temptation to kiss him."It was lust, Lane. Lust.""Then can you fill my lust?"I swallowed hard. Pretty hard."There are w-women lining up to you, Lane. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has a vagina here."I heard him chuckle and his warm breath just tickled my ear all the way down there making me wet.Indeed, this is bad."You interest me so much, Sette.""That will soon die down."My heart hammered inside violently and I wish it would just go slower but it'd getting crazy."Hmm. I hope so."His answer blew me off. I'm the one here insisting we should not engage in anything sexual here. But hearing his respond. He hopes so? What? He hopes the interest would die down?I mean, I would want that too but why am I affected like this? Like... I don't want him to stop his interest in me?My mind drifted back to reality when I heard a knock. My hold on the door knob tightened. My eyes frowned when I saw my hand lonely.Lane already removed his hand away from mine."Lane? Are you done talking?" we heard Amara.Lane cleared his throat before answering her."Yeah!"I opened the door and we saw Amara just in front of us. I don't know if she heard anything but she looked like she heard some of it. Her eyes held so much curiosity when it came in contact with mine. Her gaze then shifted to Lane who's just behind me, towering over."They need you. An attack happened just recently at fourth district."I felt Lane moved. My eyes followed his shoulder as he stepped outside of my room. He turned to my direction and made a nod. My brow twisted at his gesture."You wanna come?" he asked in a playful tone.I saw Amara moved away in front of me so I had a better view of Lane. My eyes followed her but she just looked away and strayed farther away from us."It might change your mind."I shook my head and turned back to Lane."Not a chance, Alpha.""Calling me Alpha now, huh?" he bit his lip playfully.My eyes narrowed when a thought crossed my mind. If I go there, there are two things I might do. First, I might kill him. Second, I might escape.I blinked a couple of time before reassuring myself. I pursed my lips and turned my eyes back to Amara but she was already gone.I swallowed the lump on my throat. I have two opportunities for me if I say yes. And I can also execute it.I can't miss this chance. My eyes gazed at him. He literally looked like he came out of the magazines. This pretty face, I could rip this apart. And I could have a life without burden anymore.Away from the curse. My dream."Fine. I'll do it."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
