OPHELIA

Damian seems stunned by my offer. His gaze looks skeptical as though he thinks I’m not quite alright in the head.

One would find it hard to believe that I simply asked him to bake with me.

I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting him to pull this up his sleeve. Renting an entire bakery just to apologize for yesterday?

It sounds a bit extreme but to me, it sounds exactly like what Damian would do. I never posed him to be a romantic, preparing surprises and all. But I guess there are a lot of sides to him that I’m yet to discover.

And somehow, I’m eager to meet every version of him. Every. Single. One.

“Come on, Ophelia.” Damian waves my request off. “I brought you here for you to bake. Not me.”

“I know but what’s the fun in baking alone? You can’t just stand there while I toll away with the flour.”

He smiles and tilts his head slightly. I struggle to keep eye contact with him as he stares at me for a minute too long. “Actually, I can.”

Knowing we will continue to bicker all day long

  • Deranged Alpha and His Chosen Mate   A Cursed Luna

    OPHELIAThe air is a bit static. I don’t know if it’s the remnants of the rage from the kinetic mob yesterday or if it’s just inside my head. When the car pulls to a stop, I step out with Katrina right behind me.The street isn’t busy save for a few traders and passerbys but still, a certain chill curls up my arms as I look around. Somehow, I feel like everyone’s eyes are on me. But in reality, everyone is just minding their business.I don’t know why I feel uncomfortable in my skin today. About four royal guards accompanied me to Marissa’s tailor shop and Katrina was right next by my side. What more do I need?Damian.Shocked by the subconscious response, I wonder where that came from. Yes, this is the first time I’m stepping out into Cryptid without him but that doesn’t mean I have to feel unsafe when there are trained guards to protect me from any danger.I might have become too dependent on him for the past week we’ve spent together. It’s been a rollercoaster but with each disagr

  • Deranged Alpha and His Chosen Mate   Outside Without Him

    OPHELIAWill running away save me from all this?That has been the tormenting question in my head since I woke up this morning. I have been in bed, my eyes wide awake but my body unwilling to move an inch. Replaying yesterday’s events one at a time had me brimming with fear. Fear of the unknown and fear of more attacks from the maniacs. And we aren’t officially crowned as Alpha and Luna yet. What more awaits us till then?When I agreed to this three month deadline, I never knew it came with this–trouble lurking around us in every corner and enemies clamouring to destroy anything that comes our way. Yesterday was the height of it. With Sabrina and the public protesting against me and blaming me for everything that has happened so far, can I even show my face in public anymore?The idea is tempting–to run off and never have to deal with this ire. To hatch another plan to help my mother out of Duncan’s iron grip. Maybe I can steal some golden jewelry and sell them off to get some mon

  • Deranged Alpha and His Chosen Mate   The Last Condition

    DAMIANThe air is heavier than usual, a sharp contrast to how the day did start. The dining table stretches out with a gloomy mode, the usual chatter and bustle totally absent. The light is dim, the chandelier above flickering every now and then, a reflection of the dark shadow that hovers about us. I grind my teeth, trying to swallow down a morsel but my mind is still out there. Still out there on the battlefield. Still out there at the town center. Still out there, under the hurl of rotten tomatoes and the chaotic, kinetic crowd. My jaw tightens as I remember their faces–angry, pissed up looks. The ones you see on people who lost their faith completely in me. And I am not even fully Alpha yet. My chest burns with indignation. Even against the constant click of cutlery on the porcelain, the chaos in my mind is louder, screaming against me for incompetence. Is this the type of pack I want Father to wake up? Maybe they are right. Maybe I am not really as competent as I though

  • Deranged Alpha and His Chosen Mate   Soon To Be Hers

    SABRINA“Fucking idiots!” Sabrina curses under her breath as she trudges down the dark alley, a broken heel in one hand.The moon has risen to its perfection, shining down and casting a dim light with which she uses to navigate her way towards the bus stop. She had called her driver to come pick her up after managing to escape the town center.Wobbling as she walks with just one shoe on, her eyes glances around the street, ears perked as she listens for any interception. She’s not one to be easily afraid but with the news of maniacs roaming every corner of the Pack, a girl needs to be cautious.She had managed to pry herself out of the mob that attacked Damian and Ophelia. In the process, she broke a heel, a nail and her hair was transformed into a bird’s nest. But that wasn’t even the worst of it.To her utmost shock, she found out that Damian had left without her. How could he? He didn’t even care that the sky had gotten dark already and she had to wait hours before her driver could

  • Deranged Alpha and His Chosen Mate   Resurfacing Thoughts

    OPHELIAThe public address turns into a violent protest against Damian’s authority. And before any of us can dodge, different items are being thrown from various angles.Rotten tomatoes and fruits, juice, and even stones come flying towards the stage. A soggy tomato hit my head and I gasp as the smelly liquid leaks all over my body. “Incompetent Alpha!”“Get off the stage!!”“You don’t deserve to be Alpha!!”“Deranged maniac!!”Curses and shouts bellow across the town center, the crowd going on a rampage.“Ophelia, are you okay?” Damian rushes towards me, shielding me as the royal guards form a circle around us. “Y-Yeah.” I answer, a bit dazed by the situation.The noise is overwhelming, clouding any other sound and the objects flying over us gets more brutal by the second. It fills me with fear as their anger sends a message–if they want to, they can injure us severely.“Get us out of here!” Damian orders the guards and we move slowly while keeping our heads low.He holds me tight

  • Deranged Alpha and His Chosen Mate   The Kinetic Mob

    DAMIANWhen we step out, my mind is clear. With Ophelia by my side, I know what it is I must do. It is as though her presence with me, our time together did plain out things for me. And she understands–her hands tightly clasping in on me. When we exchange looks, there is silent understanding between us, the synergy of souls that says gently that she is here, with me. And knowing that, I am energized to face what may come next. The inevitable addressing of the pack, on the accounts of all that happened here, on the Castle Grounds. My beast is quieter now. No longer clawing, fighting and defying to break out. Rather, he watches, calmly but appeased by the sight of our mate beside us. Ophelia walks with the graces of a Luna. Her steps are slow and deliberate.I smile at this, happy that she is falling into her role so very well. Almost like yesterday when I first met her. “Ophelia.” I call.“Yes?” Ophelia says, gently grabbing my bicep as she closes in, her eyes filled with emotion
