My eyebrows rose.
"In that case, why are you still here?"
His lips parted a bit and gave me a critical look. He didn't speak immediately as if he knew I would be offended by what he was going to say.
"Tita suddenly ordered something so Cesar left on my motorbike. I will take you home."
"What ?!"
"Yes, Chanelle."
Lintik!
"What is Mommy's order and all of a sudden ?!"
"I don't know. Cesar never said that."
I sighed and rolled my eyes. Push me into the back seat. Why is it that he was not the only one ordered instead of my driver.
Mommy and Daddy took a long time to get home that night. It's often like that. So every time like that, often, I deliver dinner to teresa or say to eat later. I don't even want to keep up with Euan.
I rehearsed the lines of my audition piece before going to sleep. With my effort, I'm sure there's a good chance I'll get it. So the next day, I was really positive.
"Good luck, Ch
Holding my books, my props rather, I went in, and the chatterings were silenced.It wasn't long though, when I heard soft murmurs."Grace? So she's the one who will help Mrs. Rellis present the topic? Pero first year lang siya. Don't you think that's a bit off?" the girl on the third row whispered to her seatmate."Ah. It's a good thing I didn't continue to be absent. I wouldn't miss this," the man in the back said. His group looked at me as if I'd be pleased with their smug smiles."Yeah, bro. Grace's beautiful. I really don't know why so many are afraid of her. I mean, why would they be scared of an angel's face?"I could feel my lips almost twitching. Angel? I wonder if I'd let them see my fangs, would they still think the same?"Pabida. Isn't this an insult to us? We're in our third year and then we will be taught a first year without even taking a course?"Jealousy. One of the emotions very common among humans. Nothing new.
I almost shivered when his hand touched my waist. Every flick of his tongue was full of ardor. I was so close to his shoulder when he lifted me off the bed. Crouching in front of me like a dominant hunter ready to end his long famine, he pulled my nape aggressively as he gave me an alluvion of intoxicating kisses. A strange heat flared up in my body. His hand skillfully found the zipper of my dress and maneuvered it, while his hot kisses were traveling down to my jaw. I flinched at the caress of his hand on my back. My body was shaking and it feels like I couldn't hold on to my precious sanity any longer. My inhibitions and rationality were all thrown out of the window, leaving my mind empty. With my kind of lifestyle, I could have easily gave in to my past boyfriends who asked me for it. I’m not ready yet, that’s what I always say. But the truth is, I was searching for the man who could make me feel like this. I can’t give that to past boyfriends because I c
Sitting on my throne, I looked at the people standing in front of me—my own pack.I took a bite on my apple calmly as if we are going to go on a trip rather than a war.“Hmm,” I grazed my bottom lip with my finger slowly.I saw one of the men in the second column lowered his gaze for a moment as if it would be disrespectful if he’d look at me for too long. Is it the one I recruited last month? I’m not sure, but I don’t like it when my people are not looking at me when I’m trying to say something in front.“Look at me when I am talking,” I demanded.As if he knew that I was talking to him, he lifted his gaze at once and met mine. I raised a brow. I must admit, I like his eye color. A shade of brown close to amber.Helion… that is his name if I remember it right.“So, are you ready?” I asked everyone, chewing another bite of apple.“Yes, Alpha!”
Three years ago…“Grandpa!” I yelled in contempt and hid my hands behind my back.“Give me your palms, you brat! I told you to wash your hands before eating, didn’t I?” His hand is on his waist while the other is holding his wooden stick, the one he usually uses to beat me up when I do something foolish.“Wait, Grandpa. Where did you find your stick?” I remember throwing it yards away from the backyard two days ago. How come he found it? The stick didn’t go back on its own, did it?“Aw! That hurt!” I glared at him when he knocked my forehead.“Grandpa, can you be a little nicer to me? I am a girl. Don’t you think I deserve a nicer treatment? I can
“Where are you going?”“You better hide if you don’t want to get involved,” the man only said and walked past me, but I caught his other arm.“Hey, hey. You can’t just walk away like that.”I looked at the direction where he came from and saw his hunter approaching. It’s a big black male wolf. Judging its unforgiving expression, I can say that he’s serious and really pissed.“Is that big wolf bullying you?” I asked the man.“You better run.”The wolf growled but I didn’t mind him. I just stared at the handsome man, confused of what he told me to do.
“You are still young, Nadia. You can’t marry someone you just met,” Ezrael said when I told him that I want him to be my husband.I frowned. “Young? I will turn eighteen in two years!”He laughed gently and patted my head. “Anyway, if in the future you have plans on visiting the city, you can find me at Rivermoon. It is where my pack’s base is located.”I felt a little sad when he told me he was leaving but I had no choice but to let him go.I was still happy to meet him though. I felt like through him, I had some sort of connection outside the mountains. The reason why a week later, I had enough courage to finally step on the boundaries for the very first time. I was agitated and overwhelmed. Although I know Grandpa was wo
The other woman laughed. “How high you think of yourself, you rogue! You think you can defeat Hera in a duel? I guess you don’t know that she’s the Luna of Blue Faction pack. If you are thinking that you have a chance on winning against her, then you are a complete lunatic!”The men on her sides nodded, agreeing on her. I couldn’t share the same sentiment, though.“Hera, you shouldn’t waste your time on a pathetic girl like her. Why don’t you let me take care of this?”Hera nodded. I scoffed and shook my head a bit when the other girl stepped forward. She’s as tall and slender than me but I know she’s a little older.My eyes drifted down to what she’s holding. A whip. I raised my eyebrow at her.“I didn’t know people in the city likes to bring toys in the battlefield.”“You! How dare you look down on my precious whip! I will give you a lesson!&rdq
Four years after the incident in North Ridge Mountain…“Are you sure you are doing this, Nadia?” After watching me prepare my things, Evan couldn’t stop himself. His eyes were weary as if he was very sure that what I am about to do would cost my life.Evan was the one who saved me from the sacred cave of North Ridge four years ago. I found out he was Grandpa’s trusted disciple back when my mother was still alive. I fell ill because a curse was casted upon me when I coveted the sacred necklace. As to why I was cursed, Evan explained that the Necklace of Divinity is a sacred thing and only a person who has pure heart can be its owner. He said I had evil plans that’s why it cursed me.He lived far south, far away from all the packs including mine, that’s why for the past years, I had no idea what was happening in the city. Now that Evan has successfully lifted the curse that caged me in this mountain for years, I
