*SEFF's POV*
"Seff, Why is it so damn hard to meet you nowadays?" My aunt, Luna Miria of Silverstone sighs at the sight of me." If the summit didn't happen, how long will you keep ignoring me, huh?"
As i closed the door behind me, she enveloped her arms around me and soothed my back like child, the warmth and her familiar scent like my mom, made all my nerves calm down.
I frowned. This was the reason I didn't want to see this old woman.
"If I didn't send that friend of yours a message, then you'd probably won't see me, am I right?" She pulls away, worries plastered on her face.
I cracked a smile, "I'm fine, Aunt Miria. You do
*VENUS's POV*After a while of settling down my things in my room, I soon came to the realization that I was close to my doom. I laid my back on the bed with stress at the back of my head.Even though I agreed to come, I was still unwilling to expose myself to the great five packs. Considering I've done missions all across the continents, it wouldn't be a surprise if someone recognized me in the crowd tomorrow.I sighed, hugging the pillow beside me. This is why spies never liked crowds in the first place."What should I do? Think Venus..Think." I closed my eyes.{"Don't worry, my lover. I'll order you food if that's what you want. I can even feed you myself. So please wa
"What?" He scoffs in disbelief, "You mean gossip? Right? You think it's rude to gossip about him while he's present?"I nod."Venus," He chuckles, "Gossip means bad stuff being talked about. I'm not degrading him or anything. Am I that bad in your eyes?""Aren't you? It looks like you were making fun of his lifestyle.""I'm not. At what point did I do that?" He firmly says, his face turning stern this time. "... I didn't expect you to judge someone bad like this.""I'm not judging you. I'm just describing what I saw.""Same for me. And I wasn't reacting to him, I was reacting to what you did. Now, do you understand?"Going back, he may be right..{"... I happen to pass by and saw the whole thing. Actually, when you give him money, I was initially disappointed. But after seeing your expression and what you said after that, it really amused me and at the same time made me wonder... just what is going through that head of yo
*DEREK's POV*"Where is she?"Dumbfounded, I froze on the spot when I realized that her scent was gone. I sighed in frustration as I stood in front of her empty room.I just took a shower and ordered some food for her earlier. Though it did take a while since I wasn't sure what her preference might be. I was about to call her so we could eat together. So where the hell did she go now?"Just what are you up to, you little viper?"I looked at the closet and noticed that her luggage was still there.I couldn't help but frown at the thought. This is the first time she went out without my permission. If she j
*VENUS's POV*"How is this any fun?" I scrunched my nose in annoyance.After Seff told me he'd show me somewhere 'fun', he immediately led me to a night arcade inside a landmark. Of course, since I've been to places so many times before, I was very much familiar with how things go from here.And believe me, not once I felt the word 'fun' from experiencing it at hand."Don't be such a killjoy and try it once, here." He says and picks up the toy gun from the wooden tableThere, a guy in the booth clapped as he anticipated our participation in his game. It was named 'Pop a balloon.' All you need to do is shoot three same balloon colors consecutively to get a pr
I froze for a moment, i didn't know what to do so I just nonchalantly looked at Derek's side and saw how his veins were popping from anger. Oh shit, he's going to scold me for idling without permission. "Derek?" Seff opens his mouth, shifting a faintly amused gaze to Derek. "So it was you who has been tailing us? Mind you. If you were going to do it secretly, you should lower down your bloodlust. It reeks, you know." "And you should stop bothering my beta, for fuck's sake!" Derek replies, anger burning through him. "The summit hasn't started yet. What would you do if something bad happened to her?!" "Relax, Even if there's danger, I doubt they'll try something, especially when I'm with her and... it's not like we went out for nothing."
The moon began to show from behind the pine trees, a fresh, dewy mist began to rise, and stillness reigned over our surroundings. While Seff left with no other words left to say, we all stood there and watched.Something's wrong, but I can't seem to see it.I furrowed my eyebrow. This is the first time I've seen him so speechless. He'd usually get over it by saying a joke or something, but to think he'd leave so silently like that.Easton comes up to me, "Alpha, what happened? What did you say to Alpha Seff for him to make such a face?""Nothing, just something he needed to hear.""You should've beaten him alpha, that guy is too cocky," Noah complains.
The thick wooden table split into pieces, yet the witch's expression remained still and unwavering. She carefully closes her fan. It was then the only light left beside her finally died out. We only had our night visions left to see each other. On my end, all I could see was how her purple eyes slowly started to blaze with hatred.Her eyes really disturb me the most. Most importantly, she had a bit of similarity with my mother's features."Respect? I had long lost respect towards your mother. Right... what was I thinking? I shouldn't have told you things you shouldn't know." She breathes heavily, trying to calm herself."I don't know why fate has let us meet, but I surely don't want to be associated with a traitor's daughter." She seethed, "I'll give you the hideous mask for free, but don't you ever come back to my store again, half-witch."My eyebrow furrowed in confusion. She was the one who wanted me to stay, so why is she turning t
His hesitation didn't last long. After he checked if there were no people around us, he quickly walked up to me and grabbed my arm. He was frantic. He kept looking at the bodies and the blood that dripped below my mouth, and it was apparent what he was thinking.I'm not really one to care, but for some reason, I did at the moment.I feign a smile. "Are you surprised because I'm naked or because you know that I ate their bodies?"Not minding my question, he took off his big grey shirt and went ahead with putting it onto my body as if he was helping a child. My eyebrow furrowed in confusion."Don't talk. We have to get out of here first." He says, his eyes filled with worry.After that, he quickly picked me up bridal style before we ran off to the woods. I wasn't sure what to do, so I just went along with what he wanted. As soon as we reached a safe distance from the dead bodies, he finally carefully let me down. For some reason, I felt the mask goin
