To Put A Leash On The Master   A Game Of Lovers
My new space looks breathtaking, not even in the least occupied by the king-sized bed against a wall across from the balconyâs windows. I donât care to take in my new environment, but I do notice the view thatâs a sky with shades of blue and white, fog gazing back from the distant mountains.The sight reminds me of my Villa. How I would sit on the balcony for hours, listening to the nightingalesâ melodies while watching butterflies dance between steel railings.Itâs a core memory, but I donât intend to leave it that way for a long time. Just as I donât want to make memories of this place too, as Iâm unsure what this is about.Yivlen prepares a bath before I sink into the warm water and revel in its glee.It has been so long since I enjoyed such simple pleasures. Surely, a year and four months is enough to miss out on many things.âYour dress is set, maâam, for the party,â Yivlen says, standing on edge at the door, and I regard her awhile.For some reason, I sense a strange tension cou

I stumble back with a wince when I collide with something solid. Thereâs no pain but Iâm rubbing my forehead, looking up to find the two hefty men clothed in all-black attires blocking my path. Their countenance is forbidding, much like Dad Griffinâs, although theyâre Hunterâs bodyguards.I glance past them to find Hunter still at the counter, so close yet far to reach. Heâs slipping from my fingers again and I can do nothing. Nothing. I havenât fought a girl, so why try with two giants? Iâll just find a better way to talk with him. Or not talk with him at all even though curiosity gnaws at me.I hate being kept in the dark. And the more Hunter avoids me, the more I want to understand why, even as he isnât allowing me to do so.Turning to leave, Iâm stunned when the two men grab each of my arms. Their strong hands wrap completely around my arm, tight and painful.âFucking let me go!â I scream, struggling to no avail until I end up outside the mansion, thrown into the damn snow.I wat

One of Hunterâs female guards is leaning against the wall and smoking. Iâm going to lure her to a secluded spot, knock her out, and steal her uniform. The plan isnât foolproof, but I have to try. It makes me regret not taking my combat training seriously over the past six years. I put out a shitty behavior back then. If only I knew I wouldnât have a golden spoon in my mouth forever.Zipping up my jacket, I search for a heavy piece of rock and tuck it underneath, leaving my hands with it. âHey,â I call as I approach the guard who looks at me without a reply. Standing beside her, I add, âThe Whites prepared a treat for all the guards. I was asked to bring you.â The lie is sloppy, I knowâjudging from how the lady eyes me skeptically with her gaze sweeping from my head to my feet. She puffs out smoke and glances around to find the other guards in their stations then returns a questioning stare to me.I wave dismissively. âOh, itâs done in batches. All the guards canât leave their post

My eyes widen. My heart skips a beat, lips sealed by confusion. But his tongue pressing against the latter creates a slit between.His warmth fills my mouth alongside the rich taste of berries and lavender, the most intoxicating effect flooding my senses before a surge of tingling sensations courses through me, mingling with an overwhelming heady feeling of floating.My eyes flutter shut as our lips move in sync. Our tongues meet in a sensual dance while matching the slow rhythm of our breaths.When I place my hand on Hunterâs jaw, he abruptly draws back to cut the kiss. Fuck, no, please. Iâm starving. I want him. Iâm longing for more. And Iâm almost reaching to pull his head down as my eyes shoot open. âWhat was that for?â I whisper, searching his emotionless gaze. A faint smile tugs at his lipsâa goddamn smile that shies away from his eye.I canât believe I just shared my first kiss with him; I donât understand the meaning behind his sudden display of affection either.I feel bo

~ HUNTER ~The explosion reduced our once deluxe mansion to a dwelling of ashes and crumbling debris, remnants crunching beneath my boots when I stepped into the wreckage.I pause in the center of the blackened hall and look around, noting how much the fire ravaged the building to the point where it nearly brought it to the ground. Chalk outlines on the floor mark spots where the bodiesânow removedâonce lay. And everything that once furnished the hallâchairs, tables, and many othersâis gone, likely burnt beyond recognition and taken away for speculation. The same fate probably befell every other property in the mansion. I look around for Zavere. He is nowhere. Maybe I have not been searching the right places for a good leash to hold the man down. Heâs always onto something silly whenever his alter ego surfaces.Crouching down, I use my index to wipe a spot on the soot-covered floor, thatâs when Zavere, ever so casual, crosses the hall threshold, his face twisting in mock annoyance.â

/ X /I know their names and looks. Father does too. Stuff took me a year and more to study, I might even begin to list the names of their fetuses.Itâs my first time coming to Braevalle, and Iâve heard things about it. Good things. Like how the fruits are heavenly. And how unearthly their females look. And⌠I think the White Mansion took up sixty percent of these complimentsâit also happens to be the first stop for tourists.Let me tell ya tho, I find the whole thing exaggerated. Braevalle is just as good as every other place but also as quiet as a graveyard, which is bad. Really. Or maybe I just loathe silencâ ouch!Did I just see Hunterâs female guard hitting Heidiâs forehead against a boulder? Yes! And the impact renders the latter unconscious on the womanâs body. I want to laugh. But if I do, Iâll be heard and exposed. Iâm currently camouflaged in the environment, so making a loud sound is⌠I wonât say itâs dangerous because no one knows me. And they canât catch me if I run any

~ HEIDI ~It seems to take an eternity for Luivanneâs bike to pull up at the police station. The area is a chaotic swarm of camera flashes, police cars, vans, and people shouting over one another, trying to make their way past the first few steps into the station building. But the cops lining the front do their best to hold them back. The scene reminds me of the day I was removed from my position as CEO, how Dad Griffin made me stand before a hall full of people to deliver the humiliating announcement myself. I had to apologize for failing the public, though I still canât figure out how not passing a family test had let every other person down. Luivanne, despite the chaos, drapes his jacket over my shoulders. Thatâs the first kindness a man has shown me in a long time. He must have sensed how frozen Iâve become. And though I didnât try to show it, I believe my distress got to him.Determined, he pushes through the cluster while guiding me to the front steps where a stern-faced offi

/ HEIDI /My eyes flicker open. The sunâs out; I can feel it on my face. If only it can burn out this unsettling emptiness in me.I stare blankly at some unfamiliar brick ceiling, my bowls of emotions empty. Itâs good to feel sometimes. And I wish I did right now. But I donâtâno headaches, cramps⌠nothing. Maybe Iâm dead. Hunter probably finished me off, which could be a good thing tooâI donât knowâŚA door pushes open before an elderly woman hurries into the room. She sets a bowl on the small table near the bed Iâm just realizing I'm lying on before saying something while smiling. But I donât hear. Why canât I hear? Her face blurs out, the jade centerpiece of her necklace gaining my attention.I donât like how it dangles; swinging from left to right. Or is it because it makes me nauseous, bringing back the scenes Iâve tried to forget? Hunterâs indifference, the gore of the mass slaughter, the explosion. Even the acute fear that consumed me for the very first time; that still eats

To Put A Leash On The Master   An Accomplice Of Darkness
The hallway echoes the footfalls of stomping darkness.But as the mute walls give way to the caress of a slow and brooding piano motif, the huge, two-way door at the hallwayâs end brings us the pleasantries of a room screaming sanity and proper celebrations.A descent of steps in front of me leads to the dance floor, where pillars are still but bodies swing. With the roof high and âunending, the floors are as slippery as the devilâs tongue, absolutely unfit for a person to walk on.Except these arenât people. No, theyâre not. They look âparadisiacal. Vibrant despite the hallâs caliginous state.As the ladies trip the light fantastic to a hypnotic rhythm, their bowl dresses swirl around their feet, their long and colorful strands like air behind them. The smiles capturing their countenances tell the tales of their light minds, charming the gents who look graceful in patterned tailcoats over black pants.Their light tones unite to battle the funereal aura of the hall, somehow nearly kil

Not a familiar name, that one. Iâve heard nothing of it until now.Maybe he didnât make it to the history books. It could be about the empire; history must have registered the empire instead.But I must find a way of asking about it without compromising myself. That way, I can also note this womanâs level of intelligence.âUmâŚâ I clear my throat, shuffling to the stool I once sat on and placing my hands on it to drop my weight. âMy âexperimentsâ have eaten most of my time, and Iâm probably too exhausted to recall a lot of⌠things.â Wait. Do I sound medieval enough? âDid I... have any plans for today?â Does she understand? Sheâs looking at me with her lips slightly parted, and I think itâs disbelief, especially since her hands have stopped working.âQueva,â she says, then rests against the counter. âFinish the Battle of Cutting Seas, conquering Queva. Then... celebrate... with the emperor. Your experimentâs progress has not fared well of late, and you needed to ease your mind. Seeing
To Put A Leash On The Master   Dead And Alive
HEIDI.The rich, warm scent of soil, of fresh rain on earth, reminds me of how it feels to be alive.It looks to me like Iâve been thrown into a random fiction seriesâdark fantasy, to be precise. Should I say itâs the underworld? Nah. The underworld wouldnât look this good. Heaven wouldnât be this bad(?) either. Between? Maybe. But I canât recall whether Philosophers mentioned a place between the two.Regardless of what this is, itâs a surety that Iâm dead. Its near ruin of greys and ashes, mists and moisture, stones and bristled grounds, only makes me thank my shoesâand a soul that had formed a sole to tread on melting metal.I find Iâm standing in a lone and narrow medieval street that looks like a painting, flanked by dark, imposing brick buildings. Their pointed roofs give me chills, especially as they look as if they could pierce the looming, twilight grey sky until it releases the clouds upon my very head.Speaking of the sky, I donât know if I should tag it sunless or moonless.

âAnother blood oath? I resisted the first,â I say as I look at the Umbra Crown who is suddenly bearing an excited demeanor.âAh, ah. This one is different.â He rubs his index and thumb fingers like a chef warming up for his next delicacy, disappearing and appearing in the fog while scurrying around pillars. He suddenly stops close to me, sniffing near my neck. âIt is like⌠an awakening. Hah!âThen he vanishes again.When he comes back, itâs with a ring this time, one the size of his head. Its property is unknown, but it shimmers with lights that seem alive, looking like a colorful snake slithers inside it.The object could break if it falls; that is how fragile it looks. The Realmâs Future, they call it. It is also the only thing with color in the Labyrinth, aside from the Umbra Crownâs golden eyes that are now peering at my face pores.âNo,â I mutter when he tries to crown me with the ring. I know what it does to people. It deceives. âDo not manipulate me with that thing again.ââO
To Put A Leash On The Master   Hunter's POV
HUNTER.There is a forlorn whistle; a tune sounding like a call for help, only, itâs not that.It is a birdâTapiâs Fury. A creature of the dark, built like the nightingale, with a song as loud as the latterâs. Itâs never found in the human world or the Realm. Tapiâs Furys are known to exist only in the Labyrinth of Shadowsâa dreaded dwelling created by the legendary sorcerer, Tapi, to shield Kings of the Realm from the talons of Firnes.It has endless pillarsâof roughly stacked stonesâspread out in rows through the Labyrinth, all leaving four paces between each other.The pillarsâ tops reach the sky where they disappear in black clouds of rumbling mess, while their bases are rocks shaped like vines, stretching out as roots on the dry, rough ground.One distinctive feature of the Labyrinth is its colorless nature.Diverse smell is not a leisure either.One could wear whatever scent they liked. As strong as it may be, it all ends in a blast of roasted earth breathing in the wake of a b

My carâs parked across the road with me in the driverâs seat. Whiteâs main company building overlooks us, the road partition and the crowd serving as my only blockade to it.I should ride into the buildingâs garage. Itâs safer now, after all, as the police are now limiting the severity of violence and have placed barriers so the crowd wonât obstruct people getting in and out of the building.But Iâm still feeling like a tightrope walker; afraid of so many things at once that I canât begin to point them out.And yet whatâs more disturbing is the wailing throng. Their famished appearances, coupled with the fact that most have slept here for days because they canât return home and be reminded of their deceased loved one is enough to drive even the cold-hearted to sympathy. Hunter excluded.While watching the hectic scene, I notice an odd person cut through the crowd into the building. I only saw their backside. Yet, regardless of them being fast, I caught that the person was a male.He wo

âHow do you feel?âNot fine.âLike you should fuck off?âThe man behind me huffs. He should try moving to my front so I can fucking ask him why heâs everywhere at once.âAre you always in such a foul mood?â he asks, prompting me to turn back. And there he stands; the one guy I know whose smile can force bile up my throat.âYou only happen to meet me when Iâm the most offended,â I snap. âBlame it on your ill luck.ââEven at the restaurant?âI squint my eyes as if warning him to vomit whatever he has in mind or Iâll bite. âWhat restaurant?ââNew Yearâs Eve. KF restaurant.â I pout before the man adds, âIn the male bathroom?âBloody male restroom? How the fuck did we meetâ oh⌠Oh! That was him? The buzzcut guy that I didnât care to look twice at! No wonder I kept feeling like I knew him from somewhere.I take the opportunity to register the rest of him, though I try not to stare hard or heâll deem me a pervert.All I can say is that his name fits his looks. Also, the mystery in his aura s

Walking away this time, I am sure as hell not stopping if the man behind me tells me to.I donât like his guts, thatâs one thing. Another is the look on his face whenever he regards me; smug, with a smile that never seems to fade. However, itâs a good thing heâs not tall, dark, and handsome like a certain vicious man. And he looks good nevertheless. Just a tiny message across to Hunter reminding him one more time that heâs not the god he thinks he is.The drive back to White Cosmetics wasnât a smooth one. It seemed as if the number of people joining the protest increased per hour. And itâs not even half the population still considering it.Last week, I didnât realize how hectic resuming work was, but today it hit me. A few days ago, Iâd be mopping the floors of Saturnâs or Morton's room while sneaking my phone out from time to time to chat with Hunter. And I enjoyed those moments⌠more than anything.Now Iâm sitting behind a desk that holds so many taxing memories, hellbent on grabbin
To Put A Leash On The Master   A Losing Game
Todayâs Monday is Monday as usual.One could be overlooked on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, as their presence could have been familiarizedâor something like that. No one bothers to care when they walk by.However, on Mondays, the dust brought up during the weekends is left unsettled, eliciting side-eyes and whispers when one reappears. Aside from that though, Mondays are naturally terrible. I donât know the kind of jinx bound to it, but Iâm pretty certain the same power has me in its grip as I enter the conference room.There strike the stares, making up for where the whispers do not. These folks were loud just seconds ago. Now the only sound in the hall is from my shoes.My seat creaks when I sit down. Surely, it appreciates the daredevil aura of my presence as I cross my legs, lean back, and place my elbows on the handrest.So, where were we?A hand supporting my jaw allows me to look carefully at a few peopleâs facesâtheir grey hairs, their wrinkles; I donât know if
