UNTIL now I still can't get out of my mind what Trina said to me. I didn't even think about that or even suspect Marcus, that he might be one of those wolves with a moon carved on his right arm. Yes, I didn't immediately trust him but I never thought that he might be the one I was looking for. What if that's true? What if Marcus has a moon carved on his right arm? How can I deal with what can happen when I've fallen for him?I sighed as I hugged myself standing in front of the living room window where my eyes were looking at that big tree in front of me. It was dark around and the night breeze was slightly cold. I was the only one at home again because Trina and Vernon were in the jungle while Persuz was in the mansion.My mind has been working on what Trina said and I'm afraid to know what is true and what is not. I don't even know if I can accept when it turns out that Trina is right."Are you thinking about me again?"I blinked and was suddenly nervous when I saw Marcus at the bott
THIS MORNING, the smile on my lips still hasn't disappeared because of what happened between Marcus and me last night. My heart is full of joy because of that and I don't want to let it go. I just want to savor it because there's a truth that I don't know how long I'll be able to feel it. I really only felt that with Marcus because maybe he was the only one capable of giving that to me."Oh! Your face looks happy, Syrie, huh?" Vernon greeted me when I got out of my room.I smiled at him. "I'm just feeling happy today, Vernon," I returned to him.I went straight to the living room and sat on the sofa there. Vernon followed me there. "Where is Trina?" I asked when I noticed that she wasn't there and only Vernon was there."Trina? I don't know where she is, she just left a while ago," he answered while his palms were intertwined and his arms rested on his knees."You? Don't you have an appointment? Haven't you been summoned to the mansion?" I asked him. In the past, they were often at th
NOW that Trina and Vernon knew what I was doing and about Marcus, I had no trouble hiding from them. I'm only worried about Persuz because I know who his loyalty is and it's not mine. I don't even have to explain if I'm leaving and answer their question every time I come back."I want to go to the village but I can't, Marcus. I have to be careful with my every move," I said to him while we were on the edge of the stream. He wanted us to go to the village of the wolves because he said he had things to tell me but it was not possible because Volter had disciples there who might see me and tell Volter."Why not, Syrie?" he asked me in surprise.I looked at him seriously. "Marcus, you don't know who is a true friend or foe even if it's your kind and with you," I meaningfully reminded him who frowned even more."What do you mean, Syrie? That there is a traitor in the village?"I didn't answer right away. I don't know if I should talk about Colby or just let it go. "I don't know, Marcus, bu
I STILL CAN'T believe what I heard from those wolves. I try to understand and find the truth in them. Is all that true? But someone tells me to believe that because they are telling the truth but there is a part that reminds me of the vampires who sheltered me and the good they did for me.Maybe I was just surprised by what I found out. How did my real father Amaro become Trevor's brother? And then, how come they didn't tell me that. Why didn't they confess to me those things that I should know. They didn't even mention to me that Amaro is my father. It's all a mess and I don't know which one is true."Are you ok?"I heard Marcus' voice. He sat next to me on the veranda of the house where I also stayed before. I kept looking around where I could see the tall trees. I sighed. "Marcus, everything is a mess. I have so many questions in my mind that I can't get the answer to. I don't know what to think about what I found out," I confessed, then turned to look at him with confusion on my f
Thanks but no thanks My eyes sailed quickly around when I heard crackles and footsteps from not far away, where I was. Lush trees and thick grasses surround me where a creature is hiding. I became alert and my system seemed to be in fight mode immediately for what could happen.I slowly step forward while scanning the surroundings because I knew in the dark there might be a hidden werewolf that for me is an enemy even in physical form, werewolves are just like me.I positioned myself as the crackle from the lush grass grew louder. I know that creature is coming and I have to be ready. I backed away when three large wild pigs came out of the lush grass ready to rush to have me as their dinner but I would not allow them to do that because I was not born just to be eaten by any creature.I conditioned myself to change form. I wouldn’t be able to match them if I only h
Second timeI was greeted by many vampires scattered in the area where Volter live. They are all staring at me with fear in their eyes. None of them wanted to come near. Am I so intimidating that even if I just pass by, fear will show on their faces?Since the death of my identified vampire parents, I no longer stayed in this place because I felt it was too crowded for Volter and me.“Miss Syrie, Chief Volter has been waiting for you for a while,” the woman stationed at the entrance of the house greeted me. I just nodded and followed her.The door of the room opened where there is Volter. He is sitting on the swivel chair while his legs are crossed and facing me with a smile.“Welcome to our house, Syrie!” he said. My forehead furrowed.This is not what I expected him to open up to me. I examined his face but it was blank as if he&rsqu
Syria’s planVernon and Trina threw a lot of questions at me when I got home last night while Persuz was just quiet from the corner.But who wouldn’t care and be intrigued to ask if you came home wearing a man’s clothes and no underwear other than a jacket?“You seem to be thinking deeply, ah?” My mind seemed to get relax immediately. I turned to Trina who was wondering.“Oh? I thought you left with them, Vernon?” I asked.“I didn’t,” he said. “For sure they will hunt wild animals again and I prefer to wait for fresh blood.”From the race of vampires where I grew up, there are only a few of them who do not drink human blood and Trina is one of them. That’s one reason why I don’t want to go back to Volter.I can’t bear to see how they kill innocent pe
Marcus"How's the plan, Syrie? Did it work?" Trina and Vernon's questions were bombarding me when I got home.I went straight to the sofa and looked at them seriously. "It looks like the plan is working," she said, giving them confirmation. "But I don’t know how far this plan will go," I added."How come? How did you say that?" Vernon asked.I took a deep breath before I answered his question. "We all know that he's not just a werewolf and he's not that idiot that we can fool.""Then you should act normal," Trina suggests.Vernon nodded and agreed with Trina. "Besides, the way that wolf looks at you, it seems like he wants you, right?" She added with a hint of teasin
