"Please tell me this is a joke," Jason asks the moment Sarah steps into the dining room that evening."What is supposed to be a joke?" she asks in obvious confusion."How am I supposed to think straight with you in a gown like that?" he asks like he really doesn't know how.Sarah smiled as she does a little twirl."I'll take that to mean you like the dress.""Like? I don't like the dress, I love the dress, you look beautiful" he amends."Thank you."He stands as she makes her way to the table and pulls out her chair.He gives her a kiss on her cheek when she gets close."Thanks," she mumbled."I didn't know you can be romantic," she says as she looks around the room.The dining room is grand and elegant, with high ceilings and ornate moldings. The walls are painted a deep purple color, and the room is illuminated by dozens of flickering candles, casting a warm glow over everything. Soft classical music plays in the background, adding to the romantic atmosphere.Sarah notices that the
Sarah chokes on her food and starts coughing. Jason quickly pours her a glass of water then stands up and moves to her side of the table. He starts to pat her back as the cough subsides."Are you okay?" he asks when she's calm.She turns her head to look at him with her eyes almost as wide as eggs.She looks cute with her face like that."Did you just say you're two hundred and five years old? Two hundred and five?!""Well, yes. Werewolves are immortal, didn't you know that?""Of course not. How am I supposed to know if no one tells me?"He moves back to his seat."There are stories about werewolves and vampires, and witches, and mermaids, and dragons, and a whole lot of other creatures in your world though.""You think we believe those stories? They're just fantasies, I still don't know if this is just one of those fantasies acting out in my dreams or if this is reality," she says."It's real. Every single creature you read about us real.""So you're saying, there is a world where t
Sarah turns to Jason and asks, “him?”“Yes baby,” he says.She pulls out of his arms and is almost bouncing on her feet in excitement.“Can I come along?” she asks, turning from one man to the other. She clasps her hands like she wants to pray, "please say yes," she pleads."He actually wants to meet you so, that would be a yes," Lukas says which makes her emit a squeal.She turns happy eyes to Jason and like he hasn't been there all along, informs him."I'm allowed to go," she all but screams."Yes, you are. I guess you're getting your wish to see him granted early. Is that because you're the Witch Supreme?" he asks her, taking her had in his as he moves towards the door."Maybe," she shrugs."What do you think he's here for?" heads Lukas as they descend a flight of stairs.The stairs in this palace are just too many."I don't know, to be honest, I don't even wish to hear it. The last time he was here was about Sarah, I wonder what it would be this time," Lukas replies.His words do
Jason feels a clog in his chest and his throat closes at the look on The High's face. It's like he was handed a truckload of gold.He swallows to get himself."Just so you know Abel, she really wanted to meet you. She literally pleaded," he says which earns him a glare from her.The High lifts questioning brows at her and she hits his back."You just had to say that now.Like I've not embarrassed myself enough," she says to him. "I just wanted to know what a thousand years old man looks like," she explains."It's a good thing I didn't disappoint. Afterall I look super duper hot," The High says with a smirk.She buries her face in Jason's shoulder as the guys start to laugh again."You guys are never going to let me hear the end of that are you?" she asks them."No," The High says."Never," Jason says."Absolutely not," Lukas says. It's the first thing he's said since."Damn it!" she mutters. ****************************Jason bangs the table with his fist as he springs up. "Fu
SARAHSarah opens her palm again and a tiny flame comes out, but it dies immediately. She grunts in frustration."If you keep doing it like that, you're never going to get it," Katrina says to her."Your powers are not an external part of you, your powers are you. You shouldn't be so tense when you want to make use of them. You and your powers are one but,you're the onw in charge," she goes on."I'm trying, really trying to understand you. I'm just not getting it. I'm the Witch Supreme, shouldn't this be easier for me?" Sarah asks her."I wouldn't know about that," Katrina replies."You keep saying I'm in charge, I'm in control, so why can't I just do something as simple as this. I've been at it for days, hours unending, but nothing seems to be happening. The best I've done is emit fucking dumb flames that won't even stay. I'm just tired, tired of this world, tired of this witch business, I'M TIRED OF EVERYTHING," she ends on a scream."Sarah you're trying your best.""And it's obviou
At this point, Katie is bent over from laughing so hard."I don't see what's funny," Sarah says with a frown."You wouldn't, you're the funny one. Come on," Katie says as she goes to grab her arm. "We've got a lot to do. It's the first time I'm shopping in the king's name, I can't wait to raid," she says dragging Sarah along.She stops and turns to the driver. "Thank you. We'll be back soon," she calls out to him and he bows.As Sarah and Katrina approach the boutique, Sarah can't help but stare in wonder at the sleek, angular building before her. The walls are made of a smooth, reflective material that seems to change color depending on the angle of the light. Large windows line the front of the store, showcasing some of the most exquisite and advanced fashion pieces that Sarah has ever seen. A sign above the entrance reads "Chronos Couture".Katrina leads Sarah inside, and as they step through the doors, Sarah feels as if she's stepped into a different world entirely. The air is
She grabs the handle of all three bags and starts to move. Sarah moves to take two of them from her."You're not to carry anything," Katie says."We came here to buy things for me, it only makes sense that I should be the one to carry them," Sarah argues."Okay, there's something you're not getting here. You are the Witch Supreme, who also happens to be the king's destined mate. In summary, you're going to be queen of Eldrida one day. It not only makes sense, it's only right that I be the one to carry the bags," Katie says, looking hurt that Sarah asked her to give them to her."Before any of that, I'm a person. Just a regular person. I'm not used to this world yet, I do not even know if I'll ever be used to this world. So, don't be offended I asked, but I'm not comfortable with you carrying my bags," Sarah says."How about this then?" Katie asks and hands one if the bags to her, "hold that, and I'll hold these.""Fair enough," Sarah says and they step out.The driver is waiting for t
“I know you have something on your mind, I’d love to hear it, please,” he adds and she gives in.“It’s just that, I’m not really comfortable with spending your money,” she says.He opens his mouth to say something, but she quickly interrupts him. “I know, I know. Women do not work in your world, Katrina told me but,” she removes the tray and drops it beside her. “Where I come from, we work. Everybody works, there is no discrimination between men and women. Personally, I’m not at one with not working,” she ends. "We respect our women, we don't want them to suffer," he says."Did they ever work and complain? Did you give them a chance? Some women are smarter than men intellectually," she argues."How about this? We'll talk about it when you've not had a stressful day and I'm not feeling tired," he says."Are you not feeling good? You should have gone to rest," she chastises him."I didn't see you today, I wanted to see you before I go to bed. I asked and they told me you had gone to be
