The question scares me. The exact same amount of fright that was produced in my veins when I felt myself falling for the man. I don't dare look into his eyes while I answer, "I do not know.""Are you being honest?" Was I?I shake my head to his question.His chuckle brightens up the moonlight room whilst I begin to fiddle with my fingers and think of the best way I could handle this stranger danger. It was stranger danger for me, because I barely knew this person.As I look up to his eyes, he speaks something rare which makes my heart jump a beat. Was it love that I read in his eyes?"I- I'm sorry." Quickly gathering myself, I sit up and escape his vision while my back faces his curious gaze. I could not possibly explain to him that I was beginning to fall into the depths of his sea of love. Even if it was as deep as the earth's core and as deadly as a black hole, my mission against him shall disagree with our love story. I did not want to be a betrayer. The title of traitor was enou
Baffling me yet again with his question that seemed so twisted, I shake my head even though I was lying to myself. I flinch deliberately when his hand lifts up to my face and my eyes close to enhance the picture in front of him."Why are you so afraid of me?" He asks, his hand surprisingly still against my face so when I look at it, it was at a position where he wanted to tuck the lose strand of hair behind my ear. Shoot. I really ruined his morning."I- I'm not afraid of you—" "Stop lying." Suddenly, he pulls me into a hug that tells me, "I'm not a monster. Please believe me." I couldn't let myself understand him, going into his shoes and trying to understand from his perspective. Everyone in this world who knows about the man considers him as a killing machine, or an entity who captured the Throne and rose above to become a menace as a King, abuse the throne and enjoy it's power.But deep down, all I have ever seen in these few hours with him is the child that has been trapped lik
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
