CHAPTER 9.4
Blood MoonJUST as Lucas expected, they found a device beneath the flooring of the house which could possibly exterminate vampires if it was triggered. Of course, Lucas and Jonas can’t trigger the device as it needed a control and it’s most probably that the remote would be in Princess Selene and Aling Helen’s house. But that’s alright, they could destroy the devices before something unpleasant occurs.
“Ang ibig mong sabihin Prinsipe Lucas, alam ni Aling Helen na mga bampira tayo at nagsususpetya talaga siyang may balak tayo kay Selene?” napapantastikuhang pag-uusisa ni Jonas.
Humimig siya bago naglatag ng mahika para masira ang device na nasa harapan nila. It’s a modern device that produces toxins that only affects vampires. The main ingredient were the pollens of a Primarosa plant—a gorgeous rose-like flower but bigger than an ordinary r
CHAPTER 9.5FranticLUCAS panted as Selene’s teeth sank on his neck, drinking his blood, taking in how much without a care as long as it the pain that had been bothering her subsides. However, as Lucas’ hands travelled to hold her waist and sink his fingernails to Selene’s skin out of pain and inexplicable pleasure, it also drove Lucas’ own parchness uncontrollable. Whenever Selene takes a sip of his blood, he feels more... thirsty.‘Shit. This isn’t good.’ Lucas caught his breathe while his free hand roamed to hold Selene’s wrist, bringing her close to his lips before he opened his own mouth and dug her own teeth on her skin—taking his share of her blood.As soon as Selene’s blood touched his lips and danced inside his mouth, Lucas almost gave in to how sweet she tasted. He also heard her groan in pain and grazing her fangs against his neck
CHAPTER 10.1 Her Truth BUONG buhay ni Selene, ang buong akala niya e ordinaryong tao lamang siya. Pinalaki sa maayos na pamilya bagamat ina lamang niya ang kasama niya at ang tumaguyod sa kanya buong buhay niya. Although, there were these weird and inexplicable events that she considers her episodes, Selene genuinely thought that she must have been crazy—that she might actually have some mental problems. Pero iyon lamang ang akala niya hanggang sa mangyari ang kagabi.Last night’s events were traumatizing especially that she remembers every single thing that occurred last night clearly. Kung paano siyang iginapos ng ina nang magsabi siyang nanghihina siya’t iba ang nararamdaman. Kung paanong nanakit ang lalamunan niya, sumikip—tila ba nauuhaw pero hindi niya alam kung anong makakapagpakalma sa kanya. She was even more terrified when she realized that she was acting strange once the moon rose to illum
CHAPTER 10.2 Gift of the Moon “MAGULO ang buhay ko at tila ba walang biyayang nakalaan para sa ‘kin. Nawawalan na ‘ko ng pag-asa noong mga oras na ‘yon, anak. Nalulunod ako sa sama ng loob dahil nakawala nga ‘ko sa puder ng mga magulang ko pero ‘di ko naman makamit ang marangyang buhay,” pagkukwento ni Helen habang patuloy na hinahaplos ang likuran ng kamay ni Selene.Hanggang ngayon, hindi pa rin sumisiksik sa isipan ni Selene ang sinabi ni Helen. Kalaunan, napailing na lamang siya. Baka mamaya, siya lang ang mali ang naiisip. Baka na-misinterpret niya lang. She should avoid jumping to conclusions before her mother finishes her statement.Selene was dragged back from her reverie when Helen sighed. “Tulad ng sinabi ko, akala ko pagod lamang ako no’n at namamalikmata ngunit ngayong inaalala ko ang nakaraan, malinaw na malinaw sa isip ko ang mga nangyari n
CHAPTER 10.3 AmbushedHEAD empty, mind has fallen in an abysmal chasm of emptiness; Selene couldn’t process the revelation which Lucas unveiled in regards to his real identity. To discover that she’s a vampire and not an ordinary human like what she believed is one thing, but the fact that the person who sat in front of her—the man whose aura screamed prestige and authority from the very start, the man who saved her from her classmate whom she cannot remember the face anymore was none other than Lucas Sutcliffe himself, the Crown Prince of Vintress Kingdom.Indeed, she had heard of his departure last month to accomplish an expedition, but no one really knew what it was about and the media declared—based on King Alexander’s words, too—that his son, Prince Lucas, had to depart to prove himself as a rightful heir of Vintress Kingdom.She also heard that many disapproved of hi
CHAPTER 10.4 BesiegedGOD FUCKING damn it. Lucas had never expected to be caught in a tight situation where he’d be granted no chance for escape. He had never expected to face actual war today, as the one he dealt with during their second day here in Westmount Kingdom was nothing but a mere sparring. Jonas dealt with the second assassin that attacked them last week and now... they are coming face to face against an actual knight from Westmount Kingdom, with her meteor hammer that she swung so easily, they found themselves standing no chance against this knight’s force.And oh, did Lucas already mention that she’s all by herself? Huh. While this may be an incredible thing, this knight in front of them reminded him of Chief Knight Lyte, his mentor. But they do have differences, though.It’s undeniable that Chief Knight Lyte was much better—starting from experience up to skills, sh
CHAPTER 10.5Awakening and BerserkingHOW could fear turn into complete madness in one split second? Weakness driven by adrenaline rush turned into strength but every color that painted her surroundings turned crimson and black—everything became dull and dark. Even her sight seemed to be shrouded by something inexplicable and her breathing ragged, it was difficult.Her horror turned into wrath and her heart eradicated empathy, replacing it with something else... something she cannot put a finger onto.She shouldn’t even be like this! But after the explosion that came from her mother’s bomb, which almost choked her as well, Selene’s senses have gone wild. Especially when she saw Lucas outside, struggling and pierced by something, bathing in his own blood. More so, when she saw her mother being killed in front of her!The image of this mysterious woman
CHAPTER 11.1 ReprehensionWHEN Selene woke up from her sleep, the first thought that came across her mind was her mother. She didn’t pay attention to how she woke up in one of the rooms in their house. She couldn’t care less. Selene was much more concerned about the state of her mother, whom she saw decapitated by a mysterious woman who ambushed them during her conversation with Prince Lucas.“Ma!” sigaw niya nang magising. Inalis niya ang kumot na nakabalot sa katawan niya at sinubukang tumayo ngunit dahil sa panghihina, natumba lamang siya’t nahulog sa sahig.It surprised her. Never had she ever felt this weak. Not even in her wildest dreams that she saw herself falling on her knees. What happened to her?There were vague images... the last thing she could remember was an explosion from her mother’s bomb and her death—which Selene wished that was o
CHAPTER 11.2 Grudge and Conscience WHEN Selene asked him to leave her alone, Lucas felt guilty as his conscience continued to beat him up. Although he didn’t want to abandon his responsibility and mission with her, especially now that they’re both somehow bounded; Lucas provided her the space she needed but he still stayed around. He and Jonas remained to watch her from afar and protect her from any threats.“Sigurado ka ba sa desisyon mo, Prinsipe Lucas?” ani Jonas habang pinagmamasdan nila si Selene na mag-isang nagluluksa sa burol ng ina. “Mag-isa lang si Prinsesa Selene ro’n.”May mangilan-ngilang bisita ang pumunta, nagtataka sa biglaang pagkamatay ni Helen. Kahit iyong malalapit na nakatira sa kanila, nagtataka sapagkat tila ba may veil nang mga panahon ng pag-atake, dahilan kaya wala silang alam sa mga nangyari.“She asked for space,&rd
