Chapter 45: Weakest PointI wanted to try and try to change his perception, at least lessen the hatred towards the immortal he was saying, and defend it as if it was not me. We stopped walking and I faced him. “Did she hurt you?” He held my arm and bent lower. “No, she was hurting.” Sounds of insects filled the silence between us. “Where did you see her?” “Aren’t you going to ask why she was hurting?” I was offended that he did not care. Was that what people do? Sees nothing but the flaw, cares nothing but the flaw, and talks about nothing but the flaw of others. Couldn’t he have asked why she did that instead of what she did more? “You talked to her?” “I did, don’t you wonder, if she did that; why would she do that?” I was still hoping. “Because she’s evil and all she knew was killing. Vampires are heartless.” And that hurt too much. Talking to him seemed to be like talking to a wall, nothing would happen. I nodded. I gave up. “She was hurting because she was lied to
Chapter 46: Motherly Warmth Leaving the moment became my motto after that rough emotional breakdown. I started to enjoy fighting with her puppet, which eventually became my daily routine after errands around her territory. I have never seen Marieta leave her house, she’d spend her day and night reading and mixing liquids for her potion. I was in the dining, sitting like a queen while having my coffee. I have been watching her very busy. “What are you doing, Marieta? You look like you’re running out of time.” “I am scared I might die before I figure this out.” Scared. I felt bored when her puppets became easy to take down. I knocked on the door to get her attention. “Can I roam around?” “Just make sure you aren’t crying when you return or worse never return.” That was harsh. She wasn’t good a saying take care, was she?“Sure,” I got my backpack and cape. I made sure I brought a knife to protect myself. I thought of visiting Zild but I realized, maybe he was not ready to t
Chapter 47: Undone Curse“What do you mean?” He faced me and looked at me in my eyes. “The witch who cursed me was my mother’s friend. My mother begged her to spare me… instead of killing me she caged me in that house.” He held me and looked at it instead of looking at me. “My mother was terrified that I would live in there forever. She believed that I’d come to realize and regret what I did. She wanted the best life for me; she dreamt of me having a beautiful life despite being half-blooded. She blamed herself for every battle I fought and every misery I went through. Then the witch made a condition. The curse will be undone once someone would love me purely.” I blinked in tears again. “I thought she only said that to ease my mother. I never believe that until I met you. I somehow wished that it was true.” And it was true. He knew that I love him. “I love you,” I whispered and he smiled. “I know,” and I pulled a bitter smile. I took a step back. “How about me, do you l
Chapter 48: Litte PicnicI hope that was an assurance. I could not make her talk. And I could not force her. "Will your reason affect this peace if I would learn it? If yes, I'll leave it and not bother anymore. I hope you find it in your heart that I want to trust you. I will not able to do that knowing you are keeping something." This discussion should end there. She has made her decision.I walked out of her house and went to the lake. I wasn't expecting any set up by the lake yet I found a picnic mat and a basket of fruits on it. I looked around to find Zild and he was already in the lake. He instantly smiled when he saw me and my eyes were pulled by his sexy body. I was almost covered with scars but they couldn't shade his perfect build. His pale white skin and red lips were never been sexy like this."Do you want to stare all day?" I blinked and let out a chuckle. "I like your body." His smile went wider. "I can tell." I sat down on the mat and he walked to me. "Don't yo
Chapter 49: Kylo's OfferI was looking at the vial I have to drink. The potion that would make me a monster again. Weak emotions could not bother me like this anymore.If I would drink this now, I would not be able to sleep. Who am I fooling anyway? Not being able to sleep was not what I worry about.It would be the end of the peace... or not. I remembered Kylo hasn't let the news about me spread around the world. But until when? Only he could tell.I closed my eyes and tried to sleep for the last time. Tomorrow, I could be as fragile as a flower anymore. I need to stand my ground. I was woken by the delicious smell of breakfast Marietta was making. I jumped down and saw her cooking."You haven't drunk it," she noticed my skin hasn't turned pale. She serve my plate with delicious food, I wanted to taste for the last time. "I want to ask a question, Marietta." "Go ahead.""Why is a newborn like me being feared aside from being out of control?" I asked."You are more powerful than an
Chapter 50: Her Secret I felt my lungs stop accepting air and I slowly turned to Marieta. She was emotionless and his words seemed to trigger her."Leave now!" And for the first time, I saw her use her wand to harm.I saw Kylo angrily stand up, "Lavelle, you always trust the wrong people. When will you ever learn?" He said and left. Sadly, he was one whom I trusted and the wrong man to trust.She only vanished as if nothing happened, I instantly run to her house and found her in her room. It was locked. My breath hitched realizing she was trying to run away from confrontation again."Marietta!" I called her out. "Please explain, I want to hear your side." It may sound like begging I did not care."I'm an enemy, you can leave now." She was avoiding the topic, her words felt like a stab straight to my heart. Why would she push me?"Why? Did you offer me home because you were guilty?" I remembered her saying that. She said she was guilty when she learned about my life. That night when s
Chapter 51: His KingdomWe were lying on the roof of his house while watching the stars above. I wanted to treasure every moment I have with him. We wanted to devour the peace for everything to fall out of place. "You haven't answered my question, Zild." Was that a bad start to a conversation? I wanted answers. "I'm keeping nothing from you. Ask me what you want to know." "Your origin," I stated and he went silent."I came from an abusive pack. I was to be an Alpha but they could not let an immortal lead a pack. I'm from the Northern part of Hiliria. The king of Origo." He nonchalantly spoke."Seriously?" "I am from a royal family of Vampires. And a supposed heir of both kingdom and pack. My father's kingdom has fallen while my mother's pack was passed down to my cousin." His cousin should be dead by now."Can we leave this place and come back to where you are from?" "Of course," he answered."Lavelle! I know you are here. Please come here and talk to me." We heard someone shout
Chapter 52: The Comrades My eyes settle on the man who was standing inside who opened the door for us. "Don't stare at him like that," Zild said making me blink and pulled my consciousness. He was damn gorgeous. 'Don't even think of that.' I heard him speak. 'I wasn't fantasizing about him. Looked unreal to me. Who is he?' I noticed Zild's mood changed to something dark. 'You're more gorgeous than that man, but who is he?'"Your mate seemed to like me." He chuckled and his mood went darker."Shut up, Ryvan." He shut him and started walking and passed him. I was left with Ryvan who was looking at me with a naughty smile."Ryvan the Last Vampire?" I asked."So you've read that story about me, huh? Did it describe how handsome I am?" And my amusement fell when I heard him say that. He was a little airy, wasn't he?The whole room lit up and I saw how huge the throne room was. It was large that thousands of werewolves could fit in there."Wow..." I lost my words when I looked around. T
