Forty-Three
A time for one's self is the most important there is.
✾
I stared at him for a while trying to think about what I could reply. Something that would both appease his wolf and get him to stop talking so his wolf could lay dormant again. To be honest, I had my suspicions, that he wasn’t just an ordinary werewolf like those outside the capital.

Rules and Roses Forty-Four
The palace was quiet as it was the last remaining weeks. Not one sound could be heard aside from tapping of shoes on polished tiles. The birds outside by the garden were still merrily tweeting their everyday tunes, the humming of the wind against the window pane was still as engaging as ever, and yet, Silas knew things were very much different.It had been weeks since he last saw his consorts. It had been weeks since he had their blasting collars removed making everything as difficult as he has assumed it will be. He could easily sniff them out no problem, however, he’s having doubts on how that will turn out. They were probably angry with him, as one would expect. Not everyone appreciated it when they’re thrown in the streets with nothing but a few materials and the clothes on their back.Releasing a deep sigh, Silas frowned and pinched the bridge of his nose. All were going according to plan. Everything was fine. Except, that’s just the problem. Everything was too fine. Not to mentio
Rules and Roses Forty-Five
Silence helps fill voids but sometimes it creates it.✾ The walk towards Laguna was probably the most awkward and silent walk I have ever done in my life. That’s saying something since I’m a consort, we were basically born to just be silent. To be honest, I thought it would take us a bit longer, however, it’s like there was a unanimous decision that we won’t be taking any breaks. Not like what we did then, where we took rests during the night, and continued our travels by day. Yohan didn’t so much as look at me since we left the Savanna. I don’t blame him, if positions were different, I wouldn’t pay attention to him too. What irks me is that we’ve been walking for about a day and a half now, without any breaks. This is probably normal to him and he’s not at all tired, but this is the only time in all my years of existence that I was not sedentary. Sweat was forming on the middle of my back, my underarms, the nape of my neck, and there probably was s
Rules and Roses Forty-Six
You can't trust anybody with power.✾ “Who’s there?” No one answers, but I could tell someone was there. I wasn’t dumb too; I knew there weren’t any other people here aside from me and Yohan. Did he just really sneak a peek right now or was he watching for Goddess knows how long already? Squeezing my hair again, I start making my way towards my clothes and start patting myself dry with one of the scarves that I have.
Rules and Roses Forty-Seven
Nobody is as powerful as we make them out to be.✾ I do not know just how much time passes since Silas has left us. Regardless, it was still quiet. Whatever part of my hair that used to be wet from the pond has now dried up and without using a comb, it had gone and frizzed up. Yohan was still looking at the direction Silas had wandered off to. I have not asked why Silas was even out here this early. Has a month passed already? He did mention that he would visit occasionally but isn’t this a little too early?
Rules and Roses Forty-Eight
There's no such things as accidents, just things falling into place.✾ “Could you tell me about it?” “About what?” I hesitate at first, but I ask either way. “About your banishment?”
Rules and Roses Forty-Nine
Progress happens when people are willing to change.✾ The moment we arrive in Laguna, you could tell the air was more electrifying than when we went there the first time. The market was still bustling, the sea was still full of boats and fishermen, and there were still lots of people walking about. There were some tourists too, just a few. I could tell from the difference in both skin tone and clothing. Laguna was part of the old Niju. Unlike Savanna and the Torrids who used to be part of Sem. The guards didn’t stop at this time; however

Plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.✾ “Please, just leave me alone.” I frown, we haven’t even said anything to her yet. She was already pale, her eyes very anxious. It’s like she can’t even stand being near us or even being in the same place as us. Yohan was still pulling the deer by the twine; they were being restless. I’m guessing this is the first time they saw these many people, plus it was very noisy out here by the docks. Fishermen were screaming at the top of their lungs their catches fo
Rules and Roses Fifty-One
Does a child understand, what a mother does not say?✾ From my position, I could see Yohan crouching near the dam. He was making sure everything was set and placed on their exact locations. One wrong move and miscalculation we might end up with a bigger problem than we anticipated. Back at Thelma’s place we made precise decisions on the best place we could set it. This is to make sure that there would be no casualties. After all, it’s not everyday people attempt on destroying something big like a dam. It’s not everyday that p
