"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
"It's still confusing how you happen to be working for Shelbrooke, Chloe." Luana chipped in as she sat on a chair in Shelbrooke's office, staring into space."I'm working with him." Chloe corrected."I'm still worried about the fact that you lied to me about your background." Charles attacked and Chloe rolled her eyes."Not again, Charles. You should have thought of it before running your mouth like a fountain and trusting too much." Chloe spat back and there was silence again.The office was bright but it contradicted what Luana felt deep inside. She had been kept in the dark for so long and had just gotten her heart broken by someone she so much loved. The room had an air of conspiracy and she wondered if she was aware of the real deal here but Chloe working with Shelbrooke? She glanced up at the ruthless man sitting behind an executive table with a scar that run across his face. She frowned as she remembered the night he had come to attack her. "This is unbelievable.""You shouldn
"My lady." Zeidan opened the door on the other side of the black car in the compound and stretched his arm as if he was a chauffeur. Lyne bit back a smile as she placed her hand in his and stepped into the vehicle. She was dressed in a blue t-shirt and jeans with boot heels. A typical dress of a city girl and a black leather jacket over the t-shirt. Her hair was brushed and a few strands were braided on each side of her face. She dotted her face with light makeup. Zeidan walked into the driver's seat, also dressed the same way, except he wore an expensive Italian pair of shoes. He always had good tastes when it comes to dressing up and she noticed that about him. She mostly envied his sense of fashion especially when she looked into his rack of clothes. They were always dresses bought from a designer's company. In truth, she isn't at all feeling intimidated but she always wondered what fascinated him about her when she was just a boring young adult. Even so, it was comforting to kn
Soon, they maneuvered in front of the pharmacy store with a new name. Dan Pharmacy. Zeidan exhaled and looked at Lyne whose mouth had ice cream smeared all over her lips. He laughed before licking them all with his tongue."Hey. I didn't even know I had that all over my mouth.""Don't worry. It's all clear."They both got down the car and entered the store, their mind made up to work together as partners.Lyne could see some random people, some with masks on, picking a bottle or more into a basket. She placed her hand in Zeidan's as they walked around the store. She was looking around the busy place."This place has changed so much." She could hear Zeidan say and she squeezed his hand softly, knowing his friend's death must have hit him hard."It's okay. We will find justice for her." He gave her a wry smile as they walked further down the store to the counter at the back. A short dark-haired woman looked up from her counter and as her eyes caught Zeidan, she paused. "Um...how...can
