Chapter 6 - Betrayal
My forehead creased when I turned to look at Izaac. His face remained blank. I am utterly confused about what he's talking about. A theory?
“To test what?” I asked
“Do you trust me?” His tongue reached his lower lip. I don't trust him enough, that's for sure. Ambrose I can trust fully, but him? I don't think so.
“No.” I answered truthfully.
“Good.” How is that a good thing? Seriously, what is he up to?

It was raining when my eyes blinked open. The coldness and the heavy sound of droplets woke me up. I felt my hair through my fingers; the strands were damped but not my clothing. I wore nothing but a white robe. Then I heard someone move from my right, there he sat on a chair just beside my bed.“You’re awake.” Izaac moved and sat on the corner of the bed while I just looked at him. I don't know what to think or say. I just feel tired.“Can we talk for a minute?” He asked. I saw a flash of uncertainty on his face. This is my first time seeing him like this, ambivalent and agitated. Izaac was always the type to be decisive and easy-going but right now he looked so troubled.
The Girl in the Wilderness Chapter 8 - Scent of Old Books
It was a rainy day so I spent the day cleaning guest rooms on the third floor of the castle. God, it was exhausting. Seeing that the castle has multiple rooms per floor. The third floor is probably the most dirty considering all rooms in that floor weren't occupied and that's where they threw most of the old, unused furniture. Each room must've collected its fair share of dust and spider webs within years.I went into the bathroom carrying new clothes that Sage bought for me from the town market. I wanted to come see the town market but I'm not allowed to be seen by vampires or even werewolves, we all know that.On my hand is a pretty white dress, some underwear and a pair of doll shoes. Sage picked out the nicest clothes and I'm than

Sage didn't get to visit today. Now the castle seems to be quieter than it already is. I haven't really planned anything for today. I've already cleaned the whole castle for the last few weeks. So what now? I'll probably sleep the entire day. Yeah, I'm productive like that. Besides, I feel so idle to do anything. This endless exhaustion must end today.A contented smile graced my lips upon sipping from my cup of chocolate. I'm here in the kitchen, sitting peacefully but then got interrupted by some blonde dude.“Do you want to get sweaty?”It was none other than Gideon. His blonde hair now wet

It was already nightfall. The forest at this time is dark and eerie; shadows of trees graced the dead grass. The air is cold; it's freezing out here. My body shivered at the sound of crickets and the intense silence every time I took a step forward.Every stride was light as I am trying not to create noises that may disturb any unearthly creatures. Why did I even go here in the first place?Looking up at the bright, full moon, I can't help but to think of dying in here like being eaten by wolves or something.A deafening howl came from the east side of the forest. I took a step back; my legs be

Well, maybe he’s just not interested in me that he didn’t ask for my name. Shaking the ridiculous thought, my eyes met Gideon’s bright blue ones.“Are you really fine? Where have you been? I was looking for you.” We’re currently sitting here in the living room. Everyone’s looking at me like I’m some prey ready to be pounced at any moment. Heather and Izaac were also here, including Ambrose with his usual stoic face.I remain silent, unsure of what I’ll say.“You just disappeared after our session.” Gideon frowned.

The smell of blood lingered through the air mixed with the decaying smell of the corpses in here. It was just disgusting. I had to refrain myself from breathing through the nose.“Daniel,” He didn’t stop walking towards me with a smirk plastered on his parted lips. I could see those sharp teeth peeking just above his lower lip. My knees become wobbly as I take a couple of steps backward.“Stop!” I exclaimed with a shaky voice but he didn’t stop.Daniel had this look in his eyes like he’s about to murder someone and I assume right now it is no other than myself. I let out a shaky breath when my

Coming here at the balcony at this time of the night is scary. The howling out in the woods made it even scarier. Why did I come here in the first place?“Up here,” Someone said from behind me.I turned around to see Izaac on the rooftop. I didn’t know it was safe to climb up there. If I knew that would be my newfavouritespot here in the castle but there is no safe spot for Izaac, is there? The roof is too steep; it is dangerous.“Is it safe?”Izaac stared at me, “If I said no,
The Girl in the Wilderness Chapter 14 - Heat
So his name is Cassius Baltimore huh? What is the prince doing hunting in Emberton when he lives far away from our area? I’m pretty sure he has people serving him with blood and all. It’s just strange.Maybe, I was just mistaken. The Cassius I met in the woods and the prince must’ve been two different people. It must be all a coincidence, right? But hell, the resemblance is uncanny.“Can I come?” I asked Izaac when he mentioned they have a plan to hunt tomorrow morning.“That’s up to Ambrose.” He clicked his tongue and smiled at me.&nb
