Whoever brought me here, did to me a great favor. If I hadn't came here in the first place, how would I have known this will happen to him. How would I have known my curse still stays in him? He would have kept shut all this while, keeping the excruciating pain all to himself. We both unlocked, as I cleaned his sweaty forehead with my hand. "For years, I was hopeless. I told myself I deserved what had been happening to me. Years ago, I..." "Shhh..." I quickly shushed him up. "It's over now, isn't it? We should be glad instead." "Rose, how were you able to do it. She told me only if I say sorry to her would the pain go away. How did you do it?" He questioned softly, staring straight at my eyes. I smiled at him. "Roseline Douglas Douglas got herself in trouble for coming late to class. She got punished with the all-so-arrogant Lucian Desmond. I should hit you instead, now remembering you were the one who stole my first kiss." "You are..." "I am the Roseline Douglas you had o
He couldn't take it anymore. He saw how the pathetic human had kissed his mate; in front of him. He just couldn't watch all this happens. It would make him look like a failure. He had been told even before coming here that having his mate back would be quite hard especially with the fact that she doesn't have the slightest clue of what she is. He, Xing is a very powerful general who would destroy anyone who steps on his toe. Lucian is just a normal and a pathetic human, standing on his way. No. He must do something and fast. Rose and Lucian had stepped into the house, and immediately, he dropped the tools with him. "If I do not react quickly, something bad might happen between the both of them. No!" He took on his heels, but before he could walk into the house, his name was being called. "Hey." He turned around angrily. Who dare stands on his way? He saw a pathetic and weak human girl staring at him. She must be one of the servants here. He took a look at her from her head t
Xing is had been a warrior all his life. He had extended fears in immortals and at the same time safety to them. He is prideful and very arrogant when it comes to him himself. His right age for a mate had suddenly passed, that he had to summon a witch for the reason of his slow mate bond. The witch made him believe his mate is the one who would rule the underworld, the one who had the power to rule and bring back to life, and that was a demoness, in form of a human: Roseline. He was being advised by the judiciary to remain low and dominant in the outside world, especially to his mate. The first time he had stepped by her door, he had felt the great surge of possession and urge to take. And the second she shows herself to him, he almost couldn't contain himself to have and bite her. He had said to himself, *so this is my mate, who had fallen in love with a human. *How disgusting and intriguing. And now that his real identity had been revealed, will he just be able to keep quiet an
"you are lying! You are lying, you bastard! You are only saying that to piss me off and it will not work. You are nothing but a bastard; A fucking folklore which needs to get out of my head. I have said to you and will say it again, I am not your mate, and i will never be your mate in this life and the next." "But you are mine." "I am not yours, I will never be yours. I reject you as my mate. Infact, I hate you, so you better let go of..." Hie eyes immediately turned crimson, keeping her mouth shut. "I will not spare anybody if they tried taking me away from you. You can't reject me, and I won't approve of a rejection. You definitely can't do that. I want to become a king, and I have to become the king of the underworld. It was a good thing your mother had an affair with a demon king. If she hadn't, I wouldn't have gotten use of this opportunity to be your mate." He slowly ran his thumb down her cheekbone. "My mother did no such thing, you liar. You fraudulent bastard!" Xi
"what?! What are you saying Lucian?" Perry questioned, still finding his words totally confusing. What does his best friend mean as a demon? Had he been dreaming or hallucinating? There is no such thing as a demon. "Rose had been kidnapped by the demon. We need to save her before he does something bad to Rose. Argh!" He felt a headache immediately he spoke. That demon must have done something to him. And he took Rose. He really needs to save Rose from him. "Lucian, perhaps you dreamt or mere hallucinations. There is no such thing as..." "I wish it was Perry, but it wasn't. The demon took two maids and Rose. It was the gardener. The gardener was the demon, Perry." What?! Perry still couldn't believe his friend's words. How is a demon real? There's no such thing. Yes, he also suspect the gardener doing all this, but that doesn't mean the man is a weird being called a demon. "We have to..." He tried standing up on his feet, but a pang of headache came again. "argh!" He groaned. "No
Rose felt a surge of lightening spark through her. This happening before when she had felt Xing's danger towards Lucian. Is Lucian in trouble? "No!" She quickly stood up from the floor. And again, she felt it again. "No!!" She yelled at the top of her voice. Lucian is in danger. What if that demon tries to throw him like he did before, and this time, he falls and ...no...She hit the container over and over again in anger and fear. "Let me out of here! Someone, help me!" And again she hit him much more, till both of her hands began to bleed, but she didn't care. Lucian is in trouble, she could feel it around her. "Let me out!" When she hit the container this time, she felt her hand going through the metal wall. She quickly retracted her hand away from it in fright. What just happened? She did it again, and it worked. ‘Oh my..." She was speechless, but had to walk in. She suddenly found herself out of the container; now on the deserted land, which has no one walking around the plac
Everything around her was blank as sheet. She wasn't thinking accordingly. All in her head was ‘SAVE LUCIAN!’ 'SAVE LUCIAN’. She retracted her finger like claws from his ribs, dragging out his heart. Immediately, she did that, Lucian got freed from his powerful spell, falling on the floor roughly. Her eyes was finally cleared when she saw the pumping blood in her hand. She stood speechless, and scared, moved back in fright, then looked at Xing who fell dead on the floor immediately. "I...I..." She was speechless, infact everyone was speechless, except Lucian who could see the panic and fear in her. She would fall. He took his own pain at the back of his mind, ran towards her, before she could fall. "Rose, no." He held on to her, stopping her from falling. "I killed him." She chuckled tearfully. "I killed someone." "No, no, you killed him to save others. You did nothing wrong, don't blame yourself." Lucian shook his head in disagreement. "I..I killed him. You saw that right. My
*THE NEXT MORNING* Roseline slowly opened her eyes, only to see Lucian's sleeping face. He was making little snores which proves how tired he was. She moved her hand to touch his delicate nose, then lips. "Lucian?" She muttered his name, snuggling towards him carefully. And suddenly, the memories of what happened last midnight came flooding fast into her head. From the demon, named Xing, and to her kidnap, then when she killed the demon. KILLED SOMEONE?! She quickly sat up, and yelled, instantly waking Lucian up. "What? What's wrong?" She turned to look at Lucian, holding on his hands. "It was a dream right? Right, It was a dream?" She asked the question, and answered herself, trying to convince herself that she was dreaming, that nothing of a sort happened. "Yes, it is a dream." She sighed. "what is wrong with me? Why am I dreaming superstitions, seriously, Rose?" Lucian stared, and smiled at her. He held on to her hands, and kissed the back of her hand. "What?" She was conf
