The silence was deafening alongside the rattling of the insects of the night. The stranger's brown eyes were glimmering with golden underneath, trying to pin me down with his gaze. I would have been intimidated by his presence if it weren't for the purpose I was here for and the blood in my veins. There was no space for fear or submission in what I did and who I was.

"I can ask you the same question." I retaliated with firmness. "Why are you following me?" I asked.

He changed his position and went to lean on a tree on the side. "I've never seen anyone here in this forest. I was curious as to why a female is roaming the woods in the dark, alone at that. Aren't you afraid of the danger lurking in the shadows?" He queried with an expressionless but still ruggedly handsome face and I went to a tree across him to copy his stance.

"I am not afraid of anything. Warriors do not fear, they conquer the danger." I responded with my arms crossed. His eyes raked up my body from the toes the head

  • The Slayer   The Permission

    "I'm going to miss you so much." Adel sobbed into my shoulder, her words barely coherent."I will miss you, too, Adel." I murmured, returning her hug that I had learned to accept over our time together.The horses were lined up at the main entrance, ready for the departure. Samuel was waiting patiently for his mate to deliver farewells. The princess and the twins have had their crying fest up in her Chambers early that morning. Genis was now standing on the side desperately trying to hold in her wails by clutching her mouth tightly and the princess had jer eyes red from continuously wiping them.She refused to cry like a small child in the front of others, saying it will disrupt jer image. And I… well let's say that ever since I matured, I had never cried on the outside."Adeline," my brother called, gently. "We have a long journey ahead. We must depart now." Sniffing loudly, Adel nodded and wiped her eyes and nose, pulling back from me."I must go now. Don't forget to write me letter

  • The Slayer   The Unforgettable Night

    The crowd shifted to make space for us in the middle of the hall right under the gigantic crystal chandelier. My heart racing in the contrast of my nervous hesitant steps. The Alpha King had to have felt the shaking of my pale hand with nerves as he lightly squeezed it and looked down at me and smiled in his own charming way.And it was in that moment that I realised how much he affected my whole being even with a simple action. A single tender look from him and the world seemed to vanish behind us in a fog.He took my hand in his calloused one and bowed slightly to which I managed a socially acceptable curtsy that the princess had taught me.He gently pulled me in and guided my other hand on his shoulder and rested his on the small of my back and swayed us along the sweet and slow melody.Right then, he could have led me to fall off of a clifftop and I still would have followed his lead, looking into his deep and warm brown eyes.We moved a step back then forward, swaying left to rig

  • The Slayer   The Ball Night

    "Your left, Seraphina! Your left foot!" Princess shouted and I cringed in reply, stopping mid-step. "Who in the world ever called this stupidity a dance? And why in the hell do people still follow this idiocy?" I huffed and blew the strands of hair out of my face. Oh goddess, these hair.The twins had unnecessarily spent their time braiding numerous sections of my hair and tying it to the back but left a piece to fall sideways from my forehead to down my cheek. The gown was perfectly ready and was downed upon me in a vice grip. I was not very comfortable to admit it but I looked like all the other females who would be joining the festival tonight. Honestly, I looked beautiful. The blood red fabric was bound to gain the attention of hundreds of eyes and the gold patterns that simmered in the correct light even made me compelled to keep looking.In the defense of the seamstress, the corset wasn't as tight as it looked to be but the very, very short sleeves that were fallen down, showi

  • The Slayer   The Jealous Side

    "So, now you are preparing to go to the dragons?" My brother asked shielding his eyes from the sun rays to watch me. I shook my head in denial, watching the garden keepers mow the grass on the far side."No. Not dragons. A dragon will never listen to us, no matter what we say but its master would've. I'm going to meet the dragon charmers." I said. Although, dragons were very smart, they didn't like to do anything for someone else, other than there master. So if we could convince them, the dragons would follow without a problem.He hummed. "I've heard many stories of how one of the former Kings befriended a charmer but something happened between them, a quarrel of sort and the dragon charmers broke off any relationship that they had with us wolves. Do your think they'll agree? I supposed they still—"I waited for him to complete his sentence but he never did. I turned to him and found the reason.In the midst of talking with me, his gaze had landed on his mate. Adel. She was sitting a

  • The Slayer   The Alpha's Feeling

    A knock sounded on my door and I hurried to hide the thick book away under the beddings. I rushed to open the doors and to say I was surprised would be an understatement. Alpha King was there with head held high, arms folded behind the back and a emotionless mask on his face. "Alpha King." I greeted, taking a step back."Seraphina. May I come in?" He asked. His voice blank like when he dealt with the cases in his throne room. I made the space for him to enter and my lips pursed in thoughts. What was he doing here at this late hour?The last few days, we had been keeping our necessary distance, although I wanted nothing more that to just sit in his company and get to know more about him like in the earlier days, but I restrained. He only asked for me to know about her sister's whereabouts and how she spent her day. We would engage in sparring a time or two and other than that, nothing.But I could sense his longing too, when he would stare after me to see if I looked back. Or when his

  • The Slayer   The Journal

    I watched as his face crumpled in shock, as the wetness pooled in his eyes and as the first drop slid down his cheeks. I watched as the first whimper escaped his lips without his permission to mourn for the mother he never got to meet. He—my brother that I never knew of.Watching him cry was like I was seeing myself when I cried for her for the first time. Not when I was just a newborn and needed my mother to feed me, I was regarding the time when I saw other children crying because their mothers were fussing over them. After gaining my senses and having faced my struggles, I never cried openly for her again. Not even in front of father.But in that room, where we both shared the same grief of not knowing the one who brought us into this world, I cried. I cried, I wailed, I sobbed, I broke. Maybe it was because now that he knew I was his sister, he wanted to protect me or maybe it was just because he knew how I felt. But either way, he crossed the room and took me in his embrace and s
