I was lying. I was afraid to fall for Lucien and betray him in a literal sense. I don't want to be the one to break his heart over everyone else, leave alone hurt him in the worst way possible by rejecting him. This could turn out to be much worse.As he parts from me after stealing the kiss and whispering the words, I look at his gleaming brown orbs and find the destiny of ours written in them. It wasn't a happy one. Rather, it was to be filled with hatred and wars upon each other.Clueless that Jasmine was still witnessing our PDA, I kiss his cheek quickly and leave the room, thankfully he wasn't following me when I began running towards the room and see the clouds to clear my mind. To clear my mind from everything that's happening and also to...Should I terminate this mission? It shall be great if someone else took up my job, but according to what I've seen of Lucien, he will shred anyone into pieces if they least trespass against his land. The borders as so protected like an ent
Lucien did say he was going to be late, but I had the urge to talk to him and listen to his surprisingly soothing voice before my head hits the pillow. I've seen the proportions of his room, they are masculine with a glass bathroom and the balcony that shows him the little lake of the woods. He must have selected this room out of all because it was spacious and nice, cozy to say the least.Mine was rather gaudy with creme, now that I see the color. His room walls are slightly grey and the ceiling has a good old chandelier hanging off down, the golden beams radiating gave the room a really good look. Enough about rooms though, I was checking the time to be around 1 but there was sign of Lucien or Gorius coming back from the city.I'm sure their transportation means were cars as well as planes to reach Washington from here. Anyway, I hope he will come home soon.As if on queue, the footsteps are heard in the quiet hallways and I almost hear him sighing from the distance. I had a special
My tears were all around my face like some forbidden cream, my hands were shaking on their own as I question the man in front of me."Do you want me to love a monster like yourself, Lucien?" It comes from my chest, the undertone of anger with an upper tone of fear and fright. I see Lucien begin to contemplate, but I cannot say that his bloodlust is satisfied."You just ruined my mood to kill." This was even more unexpected."Throw him into the dungeon. Let her know that my mercy of death was better than living the rest of his life in the dungeon." At his words, I begin to cry louder. It was all acting of course, but deep down I could feel the person's perspective when Lucien said that. I wonder how many have heard him say this while they were traumatized for having stepped onto the land of beasts. It must be a blunder, but Lucien had to make sure every single time that the humans or other creatures of self will shall never cross his sacred lands ever again. I wonder how cruel he was
Gorius and I glare into each other's eyes through the darkness. As if the whole world was falling apart and we were bitter enemies, I take a deep breath in and turn around to collect the snacks and move away from the man when suddenly he switches the lights on. "I told you not to—" my words were stuck when I look over my shoulder and through few strands of hair. There was Lucien, looking serious and all as he looks at me.I didn't know he was here the whole time.Turning around, having none of the shame-factors left in me, I see Lucien lifting his hand to stop me from moving any further. He turns to Gorius and says, "I have to talk to my Luna." At that, Gorius obediently bows his head to his alpha King and begins walking back towards the hallways where he came from. Lucien and I were utterly silent, awkwardly staring at each other like cats. He takes the initiative and touches his nose with his thumb, swiping across his nostril and then I realize that this man had rhinitis to strong
"Shush! I know you're the one who released that man from the dungeon!" It was Gorius who asks me with a harsh tone. This area was literally abandoned and no one chooses to go to the garden because of the wolfsbane that grows in here. I was staring at Gorius when he flares his nose and hisses, "Are you saying anything or should I make you—""Lucien already knows about it." I say7 to him. "What?""Before you could detect anything, I already told Lucien everything last night about me helping that man escape." I say to Gorius who hums and falls back finally."But why just that man? You could kill the guards and help everyone escape." Says Gorius."Do you want me to kill my own people now? I maybe against Lucien and you regarding this but I won't hurt innocent people who are simply doing their job." I say to Gorius, watching the male grow disappointed within himself. The regret stays like a bubble, it's lifespan being short as I face his wrathful eyes again."That is still not a mission f
After the good revitalizing slumber of mine, I begin to start the day by taking some classes for Jasmine before we take our bath. The etiquette I have in mind today for her is the slow talk."So, we talk to enhance our words. If I sound excited, I talk all rubbish and without my knowledge, right? Also it improves our confidence. Try it with me now." I say to the girl who brings a corner of her lip to the side, showing unsurity."But I don't have anything to talk about." She says."Okay we'll talk about your favorite clothes then." I select a topic myself."Hmm... I don't have many clothes. We never went out too so..." I stare at her in disbelief."We should go shopping today then. Well, talk to me about how you've slept last night." As the discussion goes on, a maid walks in and bows at us respectfully."Princess and Luna, Alpha wants to see you soon at the court room." She says, making me and Jasmine look at each other in doubt."Absolutely." Replying to her, we follow her as she ope
I stare into his lustrous eyes which gleam of anger. Why was he angry upon his own people? I gasp when I realise that he meant he will force the truth out of me by hurting people. I was only surprised when I realized... that he will go to the next step of hurting his own people for me.I felt thrilled for a reason, but that was only temporary since I wanted those people to be punished by their King for how they've treated me. But at the same time, I calm myself down from my intrusive thoughts and finally turn towards him, his grip on my arm loosening but still there.He blinks slowly, "Tell me.""It's the people. Your servants dressed me up in such a plain dress while the princess looks so beautiful— I'm not holding a grudge on Jasmine. She deserves the love. But... don't I?" I ask him, making my eyes seem sad as I do so.He takes me in his embrace and I realise that he can be a very good man when the situation demands. For now, he shushes me from crying too much so that I'll ruin the
Within a few minutes, people started gathering around the man who clicks his champagne glass with the fork. Of course he wasn't going to do an announcement by himself, Gorius forced him into this. I see his back that faces me while straightening mine too, the swarm of ladies look at him as though he is their beloved idol upon the slight elevation by two steps from the ground."Good morning, ladies. As you know, there is only one of you amongst all who will be calling themselves a Queen real soon. We can't predict the future, but let me announce to you this," The man as I was listening very intently holds his hand out for me to take. His prince-charming gaze upon me which sparkles differently than when he looks at others makes me feel the butterflies in my tummy.Or maybe it's the stage fear.Anyway, I take his hand and see the moods of people around us turning bitter and sour and every hated flavor of distaste. I do catch up on a few words like, "She's human, I've heard. Gosh, she's s
