She watched Stella shake out each cloth, before neatly folding them and placing them in a large basket.
Theresa nervously approached Stella as quietly as she could. She knew that Stella had caught Astrophel kissing her, and ever since the occurrence of theThe room was dark, and she saw his blue eyes light up in the dark sitting room, fixed on her. She trembled as he slowly advanced towards her, and she pressed herself against the counter behind her. She yelped in pain when the hot pot scalded the side of her little finger, and when she turned, he was looming over her, his hands caging her in as he placed them on either side of her on the counter. His brow furrowed in anger as he glared down at her with his blue eyes and she had to bend her back backward in fear. "Don't-you..." He started menacingly in a cool voice. "Don't you...ever-shove-me-like that-again!" There was a hint of embarrassment in his voice.She stared at him without a word and watched him pull away, then he rolled his aching arm and added- "And you are paying for that chair.""But I haven't any money!" She protested."Then I hope you do know how to use a hammer because you are making me a new one!"She frowned. "But I didn't break it! You are the
Hours later, Theresa moved gracefully around in the kitchen, trying to prepare dinner. Her bags however were still in the middle of the sitting room where Lycidas had abandoned them, and he was still yet to return from where he had gone to since his last unkind words to her. She knew that he hadn't left the house, if not she would have noticed him pass by to the front door, unless there was some back door elsewhere in the house which she didn't know about yet, and despite his assumed presence in the cottage, it felt desolate and made her feel alone.She had grown accustomed to hearing voices in the Alpha's house, and listening to the noise of several activities coming from the village, but it was absolutely different here. All she heard were the incessant chirping of crickets and other noises of other animals in the cottage she couldn't quite phantom. When she couldn't bear the eerie silence anymore, she had changed into her nightdress, although wary that he might app
"We are here!" Medea exhaled, staring at Theresa who was trying all her best to look happy. "We cannot go any further than this spot or we will be trespassing his land, and trust me when I say that he doesn't like that," she glanced at the bridge and the stream running underneath. "That stream is full of the biggest trout one can ever find because he hardly eats them...so, more than enough for your soup." Medea chuckled and Theresa only smiled feebly, the smile not reaching her eyes.Theresa scanned the quiet cottage and heaved a sigh. "Too quiet!" She said. "Boredom will probably make me lose my mind out here..." She mumbled as she took the bag from Medea, and Astrophel reluctantly gave her, his. Theresa turned to smile at both of them. "Thanks for accompanying me down here.""Anything for you, sister," Medea said and hugged Theresa.Theresa broke away from Medea who gave them some privacy by keeping her distance as Theresa turned to look at Astrophel who stepped forwar
Theresa walked through the back door, then down the back porch to the clothes line to gather her clothes which she had washed earlier that morning, but she suddenly slowed down when she saw Stella also gathering clothes from the line. She watched Stella shake out each cloth, before neatly folding them and placing them in a large basket. Theresa nervously approached Stella as quietly as she could. She knew that Stella had caught Astrophel kissing her, and ever since the occurrence of the incident yesterday, Stella had not spoken a word to her."Stella?" She called softly.Stella turned to look at her over her shoulder as she pulled down a dress, then she ignored her and began to shake the dress out. Theresa carefully moved closer to her now. "Stella..." She began tentatively. "I'm sorry you had to see that; it is not what you think. Astrophel and I have nothing going. I assure you that we are just friends.""Very intimate friends who know the taste of each other
"So far, from what I have realised about Lycidas, he is indeed proud, but I have also known the proudest of men to bend to a woman's will...actually, one they fancy," Darius replied. "I believe both of you will have to tolerate each other under the same roof to make this work for your own good, and your presence around him just might make him reconsider living like a scoundrel.""But Darius..." Elaine began. "Theresa is already a part of this family, you can't just send her away. She's not even prepared for all these yet. She's young and naive and needs the guidance of a mother to put her through.""Which you and Karen are thankfully giving her," He replied. "Mind you, I'm not totally sending her away. She can choose to come spend some time with us anytime she wishes, but Lycidas' cottage officially becomes her home until I say otherwise."Theresa stepped forward, distressed. "Please, milord, I beg of you. Do not make me live with him. I'm better off being here. I promise that I won'
"You aren't going to answer my question, are you?" Darius asked Lycidas who had an unreadable expression on his face with his gaze was fixed outside the window. He could see that Lycidas was upset, but he had no clue why.Lycidas slowly returned his gaze to Darius, quirked a brow and feigned confusion. "Did you say something?"Darius sighed heavily and leaned back into his chair, then levelled a stern look at Lycidas. "I heard Jeremy was trying to poach you." "He's just a delusional kid." Lycidas simply said. "Look at me, I am not Alpha material. Too much work.""Hmm.." Darius observed him for a moment. "Does that mean you're staying?""I was never leaving...what would Pragoth do without me?" He said with a snug smile. "I'm a worthy guardian and I have a realm to protect, which means I have to stick to where the veil border is closest." "Right..." Darius leaned his arms on the table now. "Speaking of someone worthy, when will you ever learn to wear a shirt

“What? The dire wolves got your tongue?! How dare you walk into my chambers like you own the place?! You came to spy on me, didn’t you?!" the queen hissed. "You good for nothing scheming whore! You have had my husband and now, you would have my throne?!" Alethea quickly shook her head in fear, sti
"She's lovely, isn't she?" Alethea crooned as she caressed the baby's cheek with her knuckles. King Adolph nodded trying to mask his wariness. Not that he was not pleased that he finally had a child and an heir to his empire, but he was just not really pleased that it had to be a girl. The kingdom
