" Crystal, can I ask you a question?" She looked at her before nodding her head. They were having lunch in Crystal's office. She had an emergency at the clinic and Mercedes offered to accompany her. " Uh... I dont- How should I say this?" she paused briefly thinking about how to phrase her question. She was uncomfortable but she really needed someone else's experience on the matter. " I wanted to ask something personal. If you dont want to tell me you totally dont have to," she says in a rushed manner. Crystal is surprised but she nodes again anticipating her question. Mercedes bit her lip and fiddled with the hem of her dress. She wondered why she was reluctant to ask her. They were that close now and Crystal was not judgmental. She groaned inwardly and decided to take the bull on by its horns. " I wanted to ask when you... were comfortable enough to mate with Jake," she said under her breath but luckily Crystal caught it. A smile spread across her face. She thought that Mercedes
Felix and Mercedes were sitting across from each other in his office. The situation had stabilized and Alexa was fine but just still unconscious. Earlier, when Felix was about to tell Mercedes the truth about her fate, Crystal and Jacob arrived and interrupted their conversation. Crystal tended to Alexa's wounds and Jacob carried her away to the guest room. Now they were left alone but the tension was thick it could be cut with a knife. Mercedes was waiting on Felix to say something but he was quiet and had his head in his hands. That just made her all the more nervous and anxious. She was suddenly not sure if she wanted to know what Felix had to say. By the state Alexa is in, it looked pretty much serious. Felix on the other hand was struggling as to what to say to her. After a few more minutes of thinking and silence in the office, Felix gathered the courage he needed to finally come clean about the truth. He took a deep breath before he raised his head to look Mercedes in the eye
The tense atmosphere had nearly faded as all of them were now gathered in the living room. Felix was seated on the couch with Mercedes close to his side. He held her close to him as if she would just disappear at any moment. On the other side of the room, Crystal was seated on a single sofa, and Jacob was standing behind her lightly massaging her tense shoulders. Alexa was laying down on the other couch at Crystal's insistence. She had mixed emotions. She barely made it out alive and so many of her friends died at the hands of a monster. For the first time in her life, she was afraid. She didn't know what to say to Felix because she knows that they barely have a fighting chance against Drakoen. Mercedes was still in shock and struggling to wrap her head around everything. It's not a small matter at all. She just learned that the fate of the realm is all on her delicate shoulders. She barely embraced her true self yet and now she has a big problem waiting to happen. It was like a chi
Mercedes woke up and stretched her arms wide open with a yawn. She had a good night's sleep in Felix's arms. Speaking of which, he was already gone. His side of the bed was cold indicating that it's been a while since he woke up and left. Mercedes's eyes fell on the note laying on his pillow. She reached out for it in confusion until she saw what was written on it. " Let's go on a date today. I want to take you somewhere nice so we can forget about our troubles for a little while. Wear something casual. Be ready. I'll pick you up later. I can't wait! "~xoxoMercedes giggled after reading. She thought it was unusual and cute. He probably didn't know but just being with him brought her the biggest joy in her life. But the little things he does also give her butterflies and warmth. The awkwardness between them was slowly but surely fading away. She placed the note away and began her daily routine. She went inside the bathroom and began to strip her clothes. Once she was done she went
Mercedes woke up from deep slumber. When her eyes opened she was still groggy but she suddenly remembered that she had a date. Her eyes immediately landed on the wall clock which read 5:50 PM. Feeling refreshed as certainly getting some rest had served its purpose she immediately got out of bed and dashed to the bathroom. She wanted to take a quick shower to remove all negative energy from her body. The ominous energy of an evil being she felt still lingered on her body, she neede to remove it so she can go on the date and enjoy it without feeling weighed down. She hastily peeled off her dress and entered the shower. As the warm water cascaded down her body she felt her tense muscles loosen up. She moaned in appreciation as she gently scrubbed her body clean. Once she was done she reached out for a towel and wrapped it around her body. She went to her room to put on some scented body lotion. She decided to put on some light makeup which luckily she got upon Crystal's insistence. Mer
No. They didn't have wild and passionate sex after confessing their love for each other. They pulled themselves together and prepared to go out as planned. Felix took out one of his many cars that have been in the garage on display to take out his lady. While he was busy bringing the car in front, Alexa got ahold of Mercedes when she was on her way out starting her when she pulled her into the kitchen. " What's wrong?" Mercedes asks confused. Alexa blankly stares at her before saying," You are going to an unprotected territory. Will you be okay?" Mercedes looked away from her and sighed. " I don't know. What can I do? I will just hope that nothing happens when we are out."" I don't think you should go out anymore. Tell Felix about this and let's see what to do about it," Alexa suggested seriously. She was having a bad feeling like what happened earlier was not the end of things. " No! We can't tell Felix anything, please," she begged desperately grabbing onto Alexa's hands. " I do
" Where are we going now?" Mercedes asked. They left the restaurant a while ago and Felix promised to bring her back some other time after she expressed to him how much she enjoyed the food. Now they were off to the amusement park in town. Felix heard the was fair and he decided to go there with Mercedes. He didn't tell her because he wanted it to be a surprise. Initially, he wants to go to the movie theater but after finding out about the fair, he thought that would be better. " You'll find out when we get there, okay? I promise that you will like it," he says to her and she flops down her seat sulking. She couldn't wait to find out where they were going but she trusted Felix's judgment. If he says she is going to like it then she surely will. No doubt about it. This time it didn't take long and they were already there. This time, Mercedes was in awe of all and she got out of the car herself as soon as Felix parked the car. She was like a little girl amazed by a jar of colorful cand
" The story everyone has heard about the White Wolves is.. true some details have been left out," the old woman began piquing Felix's interest. He was still weary of the nameless old woman but something inside urged him to give her his attention. Mercedes has fallen asleep on his shoulder and he wrapped his arm around her waist securely. The old woman told him that it was nothing of concern. Mercedes would wake up in some time. " So what is the true story?" Felix asked looking into the eyes of the old woman trying to catch if he is lying. " As you know, the White Wolves were the first of the werewolf generation. They were blessed by the Moon Goddess with immense power as well as wisdom. They lived peacefully with little conflict but that all changed with the power struggle. With White Wolves being on top of the supernatural food chain every other supernatural creature wanted a taste of that power. The first is Drakoen, the mage of darkness. He was just a mere mage who wanted to be s
