Sweet, Lyne thought she could manage being without Zeidan and her feelings for him were just illusions. For the past few months, everything he had done had been considerate, practical, and caring, with his action always careful. Why then did he not defend her during his discussion with Luana?"I guess you didn't wait to watch till the end." She heard his voice right behind her and she could see his face show up from her shoulder through the mirror.He must have read her thoughts and instead of it annoying her, she smiled as if amused."I don't think I have to watch till the end to know now that you didn't mean all of those."Zeidan inhaled deeply and dug his hands into his pockets, eyes thoughtful."What made you go to the temple?" He inquired."I... I needed to confirm something.""What?""The day you showed me the temple and I saw the blood-stained picture of a man holding a lamb, I had this feeling that the stain isn't a hundred years old like you told me...""It has been there rig
Zeidan continued his work of adoring his beautiful wife. Doing things he had dreamt a thousand times. What he always wished to do whenever he saw her. His comportment kicked apart and he made sure everything he did was with care and borne out of his love for her. And this woman felt the same about him. She was touching him already and he couldn't resist because he didn't want to. She pulled apart the zipper on his trouser, her hand slightly brushing his hard member. Her hands cupped him and caressed him with shocking confidence. he never would have thought she had, and he moaned with the sheer sensation of her touch.His lips crushed hers in a frantic greeting of hunger and desire and she met him with the same energy. Without words said, they both acknowledged the need for more than just mere release and he did well to turn his kiss into a slow, careful promise of a future that included her. His mouth caressed her body and the hard length of him pressed against her.His hands were ov
The sun rose lazily but the rain had stopped falling. The day struggled to break free from the gathered clouds and paved the way for the sun to dry up the wet grounds.Luana maneuvered herself and her horse through the rocky paths that led to the big building, her heart heavy and thrown in confusion. She tried to believe Zeidan was doing this to make Lyne feel wanted at least and not because of anything else but she just couldn't keep it in her mind. She stormed her way through to Lyne's room. It's high time she knows her place and stops thinking she can have a place in Zeidan's heart.From afar, she could see a few guards standing about five feet away from her room, all standing at attention and she knew immediately that Zeidan is inside with her. She made to enter but was shocked when two of the guards crossed their spears to stop her from going inside."What the heck is going on?" She asked, her gaze hardened as if the guards were beginning to forget who she is."You're not stoppin
"Open your eyes." She heard the hushed voice order her and as if she was being controlled, her eyes flung open. What she saw made her gasp.A tall white wolf looked down at her, its blue eyes the most beautiful ones she has ever seen. It looked like the one that had shown up to her the night she first kissed Zeidan but this time, it looked more calm and happy than threatening. It was a Luna. Her white fur covered her body and she could swear she saw it glitter. She made to touch it but it faded away into the dark with a howl and the hushed voice said again."Thank you for freeing me."By the time she would open her eyes, it was already getting close to sunset. She slowly opened her eyelids and was met with the delicious smell of Maine lobster rolls, tamale pie, and macaroni salad. Placing her hand behind her, Lyne realized Zeidan was no longer there. Had he gone outside to order the maids to cook food? She sat up and memories of that morning came rushing, lifting her mouth in a smile.
What exactly could have gone wrong?Shelbrooke stared down at his glass of gin in his right hand as he stood in front of the fireplace, thinking of his meeting with Chloe. He'd started working with her for a long time and he realized that she was the best bait to use here. Planning to take the Onyx, render the vampire city powerless, and let her take her revenge by killing the King with her own hands.But he wouldn't take chances of trusting that woman. For all he knew, she could betray him after getting what she wants. That is why he had chosen to join forces with the Prince. A plus to his men.What was Chloe doing now? She should have sorted everything out and made sure Wikh goes to jail and their plans will still be on track. At least, it will create more time for them to attack. But he was getting impatient every day.A knock sounded on his door, followed by a masculine authoritative voice."Isn't this how a mannered gentleman is supposed to make an entrance?""Your highness?" He
"Zeidan!" Luana yelled, as she grabbed the bed sheets and yanked them off the bed. She was turning despite how much she tried to avoid it. "This can't be possible.""What can't be possible?" Lyne's voice reached her and coming out of the washroom with just a towel wrapped around her body, Zeidan couldn't help but think Lyne looked sexy in the white towel as he stared at her from behind the door. Her golden hair looked slick and wet. He had just made love with his woman and that was the only thing that filled his mind. But seeing Luana barge in was just like a spear thrown into a cherry cake. He rolled his eyes."I...I thought..." Luana stuttered as she looked at her. He sighed as he now saw the reasons behind his disinterest in Luana the first day they had met in his office, how he had kept postponing the day he'll make her the Queen which he was thankful he didn't do, and how he can never defend her the way he would do for Lyne if she was accused of something. "You thought of what
Staring at the clear crystal river as they both sat on the green grass, they couldn't have prayed to be with any other person except with each other. The sun was moderately harsh on their skin and they enjoyed the warmth it gave them both. The silence and another day to pretend they weren't leaders of Vampire city. It's been three days since he announced to Luana that Lyne is now the Queen and although he knew Luana ran out of the room broken, he still couldn't place a hand on where she could be right now. "Tell me about your life in the city." Lyne broke the silence as she looked up at him from where she placed her head on his thighs."You...you want to hear about it?"He inquired as he didn't think it was of much importance."Why can't I hear about it? Isn't it important that I know every bit of my husband's life?"He chuckled. "My life is not that important." His lips were drawn in a thin line and he looked back up to the river. Lyne sat up and placed a hand on his arm."It is, to
Staring at her calm body on the bed, Zeidan couldn't help but ponder over what had just happened at the stream. How she had transformed into a big beautiful wolf was still strange to him. Hadn't she lived her twenty years without a wolf? How did it just pop out of nowhere with nothing to explain it? All these filled his mind more than Wikh's disappearance.The morning sun seeped in through the window of the room and it beamed on Lyne's resting face. He ran his index finger over her face and she stirred. Her face was bright as if the sun shone through it, rather than a streak in through the windows on the adjacent wall."You're awake?" He sounded worried as she sat up gently from the bed.Lyne smiled wryly as if she was still trying to remember what had happened. "Of course, I'm awake. What happened?"When he had first set his eyes on her, she appeared to be fierce: not as a wolf or a warrior, but as a woman who is ready to stand up against any wrong done to her. However, those Werecat
