His eyes widen and a certain emotion is expressed by his facade. He must be impressed by my definition of love. Crudely, he places the fork down with the food still at its edge with a clink against the rich ceramic plate as he begins clapping a bit embarrassingly."What are you doing!?" I hiss, because I didn't want to attract any good or bad eyes while I'm eating. He pats my hand softly and says, "I'm truly impressed! But I've also got to tell you." His expression falls on a lower spectrum of happiness."That's a bit superficial." He says. And here I was thinking I gave the most realistic definition for love. I shake my head and take a bite while saying, "I can't be any real-er than that.""Well, if you want your love to win against these competitors, you have to get the real definition of love.""Um... tell me then. I'm a layman." His charming smile is brought upto his face again. He leans back on his seat, eyes slowly closing as if he has no care in this world. "That's not somethi
Author's POV The vampire hunting academy situated not very far from the Werewolf King's palace has it's chief pacing back and forth of the cabin. He was anxious about this mission, to shoot a shot so close and carrying out the demise of a King to a whole different species just so their species shall thrive.He was upset at himself. Why did the leader of the Vampire society ask for King Lucien? What was in it for them?The answer went unexplained."Sir, we have an incoming signal." His loyal and age-old assistant walks in with the sensor as he quickly wears it to his finger and feels the vibrations. "She said hello. Please confirm it." The assistant tells him as he does so. The conversation goes on, but when she doesn't respond to him suddenly, his body goes cold. He was already risking the best candidate's life and risking his entire race of humanity for when the King knows about it... he will kill everyone who exists."Wha- what happened?" Concern plants a seed in him as he turns
I was wrong.The jets had pilots and they managed to escape while missiles were locked and loaded at them but...a few guards of Lucien have captured the two pilots who ejected from the top of the Ranger Jets before perpetual damage could occur.I run down the hallways with the guards assigned for me as they yell at me to stop. I wonder why can't they shift into werewolves and stop me in a second. Why do they lack that kind of intelligence?I can't deal with this anymore. The moment I saw those two pilots being dragged with chains around them like dogs, I felt my very core begin to shake. He will kill them. Mercilessly even."Lucien! Lucien, stop!" I see Lucien hastily walking towards those men who shiver upon the burning stature of the male walking towards them. Human or not, Lucien possessed that beastly aura around him which could make everyone cower like slaves in front of him. I run towards the male in a meek attempt at stopping him from harming anymore people of mine, but Gorius
I don't know where to begin. His lust filled eyes stared at me while I was a mess with the specks of liquor that falls on my pajamas. The disgusting smell of his breath intoxicated with alcohol makes my head turn away on its own, until he forces me back to look into his devious eyes."Why do you do this? You have a choice.""I don't have a choice." He seethes unnecessarily in anger at me. Pushing his hand away, making some of the overflowing liquid from his hand fall back on my dress, I move several feet away from him in the confined space of the balcony. As if the things aren't smaller enough, he corners me straight into the wall and I couldn't find myself out from this situation."I don't have a choice. Because I am genetically modified to be a killing machine." He says, baffling me out of my mind."What?" I don't believe him and ask him with vigor, making an irritated face because if his drunkenness is making him blabber unbelievable things, then I'd slap him and satisfy myself whi
If smelling the air for emotions was a thing, then I was definitely experiencing jealousy around me. Expelling air out of my lungs, my body turns away to give space to the first one of the triad for the second round. Gorius shouts the same directions for archery.Three sets later, I hail with my personal score of 7, 8, 8. Not bad for a beginner.Jasmine comes to hug my hand as I pat her back affectionately and say everything that she needed to hear from me. All the praises and goodies for the ear. The man behind us approaches to where we were gathered. Women move away when he scrutinized their exposed attires and attractive make up. He sighs, but I can clearly see him distracted while he walks so slowly towards us.My hands crossed, the swarm of women surround the King and at the epicenter of this hurricane was us three. I felt uncomfortable, clearly."Nice aim. Won't you shoot one straight through my heart, sweetie?" His guts...To flirt with me in front of the public made me forget
My eyes widen gradually. A Phoenix, he said. His hand caressing my back gives me goosebumps all over. I didn't know how my body reacts to his physical touch when my mind was absent from the scenario. I gulp a huge amount of my saliva and stare into his eyes.Maybe I hold answers unknown to people. That Phoenix... might be my mother. Yes.I was told, or rather self discovered the fact that I was a cursed offspring between the love of an ordinary man and an extraordinary Phoenix species. I didn't know much about their love story, but it prevailed just until I turned nine and then everything went downhill.Love is a bond between two people that is expected to last forever. But my parents believed that even a spark of a moment is love. And that spark existed only for a decade before they separated ways and left me with an untold secret. That I had a recessive Phoenix blood flowing inside me.Alas.But what was the wish the 'Phoenix' asked to this witch? I was mightily curious. "I don't
Throwing on a very royal dress in the most haphazard way, I run down the hallways with the gown all crumpled in my fists. I reach the court hall. It was filled with maidens of all caste and creed and mostly werewolves. At the top for he throne was King Lucien who orders us to close up the doors.I look behind myself and see the women who were late were being taken away and not allowed inside the hall. Was it that he was waiting for me and closed the door immediately after? Seems so.Coming back to the scenario, the sirens who look hideous as ever in their original forms, they take over the space in front of the King while giving some space in between so he is seen. I keep staring at Lucien. Why doesn't he ever wake me up? Freeing myself of his magnetic presence, I start paying attention to the men who are in front of me, about to speak. "As we all are aware," Wow, they have a really good throw in their voice, "We Sirens are here at your palace for the annual fest that needs security
My mouth falls ajar. She is going to let me be a Phoenix? I wasn't aware of that. I only knew I had the blood in me and was forbidden to let anyone on this earth know about it but... "Don't question yourself, Laura. With me by your side, you've got nothing to worry about." My old lady says. Giving her a little hug, she tells me to go back to the castle while pretending the Sirens took me to a location that I've known for trade. For the moment, I could only think about the Trade bureau of the city. I look at the blue civic part ways while we go up the hill. The tear drop from my eye slowly cascades along my cheek and chin, dripping on my hand. It's only then I realise the mental pressure that was put onto me since then.When I come back to the Palace which was around the time of lunch, I meet Jasmine first. "Shall we give a quick revision on how to eat like a badass princess?" The eleven year old grins while we make a run towards the table for lunch. But we stop instantly on our tr
