the past iv
It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.
✾
Silas stared at the girl.
He felt something odd inside of him. Something crawling inside of him pushing him to go towards the girl to get her close again. Which was odd because he knew girls were disgusting and were nothing but trouble. Eleanor had finished staring and was now close to the girl, caressing her face and asking her what was wrong and why she couldn’t remember anything that happened nor who she was.
When Eleanor got close, he felt it again, that pull. That pull that made him want to stand up and be the one that was caressing the dirt and grime off the girl’s face. It was weird and disgusting and infuriating and the shame just filled him up almost immediately. Girls were disgusting and nothing but troub

Don’t overact the story of your name. Overact the story of your work.✾Silas had never been close to his mother.His father had explained that it was normal. Since his mother was a Royal Consort, there was a high probability that she would never feel any sort of affection for their child. Bearing a child for a consort, at least some of them, was more of an act of duty, rather than an act of love. Consorts wanted to bear children because it was their responsibility to do so.They didn’t want to have children because they wanted to have something to love and care for. In fact, it was already expected that consorts would never touch or be affectionate with their offspring. It was normal for consorts to hire nannies or maids that would care for the children they have with Alphas. It was also normal

History is a set of lies agreed upon.✾“I think I know the reason why you can’t keep your eyes off her now.”Eleanor made her way towards her friend and the girl they just saved. They had been conversing silently over who knows what and had not even bothered helping her to research as to why they were feeling what they were feeling. For a moment, she thought maybe they wanted those emotions inside them, they didn’t seem to be fighting it after all.The girl was pretty, Silas might have considered that she might be a potential Luna for him. Should she even have bothered researching when it seems like they were alright with what’s happening? Eleanor shook her head. No, she thought, Both of them have their respected mates and it would be unfair to their partners if th

Knowing can be a curse on a person's life.✾Eleanor knew that the world was an unfair place.Ever since she was young, she had already been told by the adults of her life that there are things that just couldn’t be for her. There were more things she wasn’t allowed to do, than things that were allowed. There were things that she had always wanted to do but she couldn’t because it wasn’t something that girls like her were supposed to do. She had always imagined how it would be if she were a man with Alpha blood if things could have been different.She had always assumed that every single one of them was not allowed to shift.Then she found out that Alpha males, especially military and the great Alpha of Cinco, were allowed to

Oh, what a tangled web we weave...when first we practice to deceive.✾“And what are your parents’ line of work?”Amara looked at Lady Vita straight in the eyes and repeated the very same words she was taught to say in situations like this. “They are offshore merchants and are rarely at home. They focus primarily on trade between other countries. The last time I heard from them in the letter they had sent me, they mentioned they were somewhere in the Pacific.”“Hmm.” Lady Vita mumbled, perching her glasses up her nose.Amara always thought it was weird. On how she always chose to wear glasses when she doesn’t seem to have bad vision. Eleanor had told her Lady Vita was a professor in the academe where they re

And we all know love is a glass which makes even a monster appear fascinating.✾Eleanor squeezed Amara’s fingers tightly.She felt her squeeze her hand right back, a smile on her face. Then she started looking around again, her eyes staying longer on most of the stalls and booths that sold seafood as well as seashell accessories. Her eyes twinkled at the sight. Eleanor felt herself giggle at that. She had always thought that Amara was of Niju descent. With her black hair and yellowish skin tone. Amara might not know it, but it’s probably in her blood that she’s inclined to like those things that were from the sea.“Do you want to buy anything?” Eleanor whispered using her consort’s voice.Amara bit her lip, shaking her

It is the certainty that they possess the truth that makes men cruel.✾Amara trudged slowly, following Eleanor closely behind.They were carrying a lot of varied paper bags that were full of various leafy green vegetables. Eleanor had stopped the staff from helping them carry the things since she insisted that they learn how to carry their own things. They were consorts, yes, but they could still very much walk and carry their own weight. They were independent women, and they could do things on their own. Despite Amara huffing with every step they took, Eleanor ignored it and laughed at her.They were on their way back to the palace and Amara’s mood had been gradually decreasing. It was because of the heat and the heavy bags that she had been carrying. She always hated having to sweat and having sweat

We're all islands shouting lies to each other across seas of misunderstanding.✾Eleanor looked down on Amara.As soon as the words got out of her mouth, she had been punched by guilt. Amara’s face was pale, tears pricking the corner of her eyes. Her mouth was open, and she looked like she wanted to say something else, but no words were coming out. Eleanor frowned, already realizing the impact of what she had just said. If places were switched, she would also feel bad when someone tells her that the only life she’s ever known is not supposed to hers, to begin with.“Amara, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that.” Eleanor said already crouching down and extending her arm towards Amara. She didn’t even bother using her consort’s voice. She knew she w

And there is nothing more dangerous in this world, in any world, than someone calm, clear, and angry.✾Eleanor instantly paled.Amara flinched, but nevertheless, her glare was still on Eleanor. She was shaking, anger radiating off her in waves. Her golden eyes shining in fury and something else entirely. Lady Vita’s eyes narrowed from behind Amara. Eleanor could already hear her teeth grinding together. Clicking her tongue, she grabs onto Amara’s ear and starts pulling her out of the kitchen.And Amara didn’t even fight it.“Why were you shouting so loudly?”Eleanor piped in, “Lady Vita, it was a misunderstanding.”
