“Help!” Maria screamed as she struggled to keep her head afloat.

The water splashed as a guard jumped into the river. Relief washed over her as he moved towards her. He swam through the waves with strong strokes, his eyes fixed on hers.

Maria kicked beneath the water, trying hard not to sink. Her arms ached as she flailed them, but she had to stay above water, long enough for him to reach her.

The man was almost there, and stretched out his hand to grab hers. Then, the river turned cruel. A mig

    Fire, smoke, red and ashy colours filled the sky. Men and women were bound in chains, while children ran around screaming in pain. A man wearing a mask stood over the crowd. He held an arrow in one hand, and a sword in the other.“What is this?” Maria asked shakily.Freye turned from the wall and faced her. “It's another vision. It is revealing how Veilwood would look when the forger is done destroying it and other werewolf lands too.”“What!” Maria looked closer at the scene that looked real in front of her. “Trevor and his brother have a hand in doing all these?” She asked in disbelief.“They helped in recruiting women for the forger in exchange for whatever he promised them, so yes, they do.”Maria gritted her teeth angrily at Freye’s confirmatory statement. She couldn't believe that her mate, and the man who she had started to fall in love with would have a hand in such a disaster.She hastened towards the door, ready to confront him this night to spill the truth concerning whatev

    They laid on the bed quietly, with Trevor caressing her waist in a gentle manner. His hot breath washed over her face as he drifted into sleep. She leaned closer, covering him properly with the blanket.She glanced towards the window which revealed a dark sky. She had worked all day, but wasn't feeling tired enough to sleep. Her eyes were wide open, while her brain was contained with thoughts of— “who am I? And would Veilwood reveal the truth?”It was a pity that she had to suspend her travel to Veilwood because of the spreading blight, but it was something she had to do to protect herself and the people.She heard something like a whisper and straightened herself on the bed. The voice called her name again, “Maria, Maria.”She faced Trevor, whose eyes were closed in deep sleep and wondered who was calling her.“This is strange,” she muttered to herself and lay back on the bed.Then, she heard herself being called again, and this time, it was louder than a whisper.She stood up from t

    Trevor's eyes widened slightly as Maria locked her lips with his. He had also burned with an intensity to kiss her, but he doubted, thinking he may be moving too forward.He wrapped his hand gently around her waist as he tasted every bit of her mouth. Her hands were wrapped around his shoulders. Their lips moved, savouring every bit of each other.They disconnected, and Maria paused to catch her breath.She looked away shyly. “I'm sorry. I didn't mean to…”He silenced her with another kiss, this time more intense than the former. When he shifted his lips from hers, he looked at her in the eyes and his voice came out as a whisper. “That was amazing, Blossom.”He still called her Blossom even after finding out her name was Maria. The name stuck to him.He cupped her face gently by the cheeks, caressing it delicately.“You're in heat, aren't you?”Maria looked away, her cheeks slightly reddening with an evident blush.“I'm sorry,”Trevor chuckled and held her soft palm. “It's nothing to

    Maria was still there, curled beside his bed. Her hand leaned against his back. She hadn't left his side, afraid that if she did, he may stop breathing.She slept off while lying there. Trevor stirred a bit. His hand moved and brushed against Maria's hair, causing her to wake up.“Trevor,” she whispered. “How are you feeling?”His eyes fluttered open and he looked around the room in a dazed manner at first. “How did I get here?”Maria smiled. “You collapsed and were unconscious. It's been almost three hours since we brought you here.”He straightened himself on the bed and mumbled something incomprehensible.Maria continued. “The nurses said you have a blight, and you need rest, plenty of it.”Trevor inhaled deeply and rubbed his eyes which were still sleepy. The action was also accompanied with a yawn.“Thank you, Maria,” He said, looking at her with a soft gaze.“I wasn't going to leave you. You still need rest.”Trevor rubbed his forehead worriedly. “The blight. I thought it had di

    Trevor's chest heaved heavily and it was obvious that he was still angry. He still stared at the door after Triton left. Devon tried putting a hand on his shoulder to calm him, but he shrugged it off.He turned to Maria. “You shouldn't be hiding there. He obviously smelt you.”She stepped out of her hiding place with her head slightly lowered. “I…I'm so sorry.” She stuttered.He inhaled deeply and sat on a chair while still looking at her. “How much of everything did you hear?”Maria hesitated, wondering if he was angry at her for eavesdropping. His expression looked quite indifferent so she couldn't tell.“Is he your brother?”Trevor nodded his head and she saw something like a sliver of pain in his eyes. “Yes.”“Why don't you…”“I'd take you to Veilwood in a week.” He said, interrupting her second question. “I have a lot of things to attend to. Are you okay with it?”“Yes,” she replied.He placed a hand on his chest as if feeling pain. His eyes were narrowed and he had a slightly gr

    After Triton told her parents about the fact that Maria was pregnant for him, they stared at him like they didn't believe it.“How can she be pregnant?” Laura spat, while crunching her face in a disgusted manner.Triton went ahead to tell them of how they were mates, and how she rejected him. He was careful not to reveal the part that he rejected her first in the tavern.Surprisingly, Laura's mood was switched from being sad about her daughter's death to being upset that she wasn't pure.Triton left as soon as he dropped the news. Trevor, the king of the rogues, had refused to respond to the letter. Triton had sent countless messages, informing him that the forger needed more gifted women, but Trevor just kept ignoring them.When Triton couldn't keep up with being ignored, he decided to pay Trevor a visit. While he was talking with Trevor, a familiar scent hung in the air. It felt exactly like Maria, but she was dead and it couldn't be her.He was surprised that his rogue brother had

    The night had barely let him rest. Trevor tossed and turned, his mind returning again to the woman. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw her face.By dawn, he gave up on sleep entirely. The castle was quiet and cold that morning. He walked down the cold corridor towards the room where Maria lay. T

    The castle walls were colder than usual that morning. Even with the hearth burning in the fireplace, a chill clung to the air. Part of the reason for the chilly weather was because of the last day’s storm. The rogue king, Trevor, had sent out his men to see how much damage the storm had caused. The

    THE ROGUE KING'S TERRITORYThe storm had ended days ago, but the land still bore its scars. The lands were waterlogged, the soil eroded, and half of the few crops drowned in mud.Even before the rain, the fields were dull with withered plants. The land was cursed. Every season, the inhabitants aske

    Triton sat at his desk. The contents of Maria's letter was still heavy in his heart. He leaned back, dragging a hand over his hair. He should write to her, or ride to see her himself. He couldn't keep sitting at one spot, paralyzed by indecision.She had never appeared to him as one to lie. Still d
