Of all my grievances, I’d only seen a terrifying resemblance of death in those amber eyes. The death that gnawed at me during the night –– the same death that engraved itself into my memory that dulled every hope I clung to. The pale hair, the soft hum of her voice, the innocence enveloping her very being were a ghost that lingered even after years. Had I not buried her deep enough not to surface in my memory? Or

  • Under The Eclipse: The Blood Moon   Chapter 11

    EnzoOf all my grievances, I’d only seen a terrifying resemblance of death in those amber eyes. The death that gnawed at me during the night –– the same death that engraved itself into my memory that dulled every hope I clung to. The pale hair, the soft hum of her voice, the innocence enveloping her very being were a ghost that lingered even after years. Had I not buried her deep enough not to surface in my memory? Or had the Goddess intended I face the shame by sending remnants of her through someone else?But she was gone –– a distant dream that only existed in the confines of my mind. A ghost. A memory trampled by my own mortifications.Freya. Even through my inhibitions, the mere thought of her name made escaping feel impossible. How could the memory of a girl who thawed the numbness in my heart slip away? Years after her death felt like an endl

  • Under The Eclipse: The Blood Moon   Chapter 10

    Everyone lowered their gazes to a slight bow at the sight of the prince. Their silence reverberated in the pub, and bartenders froze, placing their shakers on the counter. The prince scanned the room, his electrifying eyes –– sunken and somber –– pierced through the crowd in a magnetic-field-like current. They watched as he walked towards the bar, seemingly sobered up when they would mumble, “My sincere sympathies, Your Majesty,” as he strode past them. He would acknowledge their support with a nod, and his sullen demeanor filled the room with a sense of heaviness. His dark coat that hung low on his knees fluttered at his movement, and his raven hair flowed like water in the air.Seeing him under the warm light of the pub contrasted with the version of him I saw last night. That menacing gaze –– dark and angry –– was replaced by an almost apparent grief that he tried to hide through composure. And I hadn’t realized how intimidatingly tall he was when he towered over most of the townsp

    It was followed by silence. Neither of them spoke, and Therese slightly squinted her eyes, a bit suspicious. Harvey, on the other hand, fidgeted with the empty soda bottle while his tongue rolled around his mouth.All I could think about was the clock ticking after I dropped this information. I would be counting my days from now on with thoughts of being hunted down.“The prince does have a very… enigmatic reputation,” Therese pointed out. “What I mean by that is Azenians calling him too melancholic and reckless. I didn’t know reckless means he kills his own kind.”“I’m not saying that he kills werewolves, but I just saw the prince with blood all over him. And I think the firefly led me to witness it. The scenario is too unclear to think of his motivations. But following the queen’s death and his threats, I don’t even know how to make sense of it.” I almost panted as I blurted those out.“I know… but the fact he’s capable of cold murder like that is punishable by the law and order of

    The whisper was like a nudge that pulled me into a sudden realization. It spoke so subtly that it disappeared in the air before I could even try to understand it. And as I stared at Harvey with widened eyes, a crow appeared in my peripheral –– the same crow that was on my nightstand last night. I heaved a breath and placed a hand on my forehead.“We shouldn’t have done that,” I muttered, and Harvey was only left confused.“Why are you holding back?” he asked, disappointment apparent on his face.“It’s just––“ but I couldn’t tell him.Why did I feel like I was doing something wrong? Like a twinge in my chest pulling me towards something else… someone? Didn’t my body want it? To be held, to be touched, to be kissed? But did I want it to be him? Or was it because he was the only one I had? I’d grown familiar with what our connection was supposed to be: we were friends. And doing more than that distanced the bond we built all those years from what we have now.Harvey stood from the couch

    The silk dress swept the cobbled pavements, as the damp air of the night had me shivering. My heart thumped loudly in my chest like it was about to implode, and I gripped the hem of my skirt while I ran from the forest. The man disappeared in plain sight. He didn’t utter a single word after he threatened my life. All that was left in my mind was the thought of his violence; how he could’ve easily snapped my head off, but didn’t. Then a voice would whisper in my ears –– a gentle, soothing voice that contrasted the anger in the man’s tone. It didn’t bring much comfort; it pulled me towards a dangerous situation that made my body comply before my mind ever could.I reached the corridor, panting in exhaustion. My hands trembled, and I could still feel his claws around my arm, digging into my skin. His eyes… There was nothing there but rage. The lifeless werewolves behind him scattered like they were about to be buried. And the forest was dark enough that I barely counted how many of them

    A car was assigned to drop us off at the ball –– the same men wearing a fedora hat came knocking on our apartment door that night. Though he looked quite different from the chaperone, he wore the same uniform as the one we saw at the boutique. And while Harvey and I sat in the backseat, silence filling the gap between us, I reached for the necklace and thought about what he said. I would like to end up with you. Did he? I couldn’t grasp the idea of it. Maybe he said that out of fear, and I was the last resort.Though when we were little, he would bring it up –– would tell me he would marry me someday, but I would remind him of our friendship. You know, when you were kids, and you’d be attached to someone not because of any romantic relation, but because you both just found so much comfort with each other? I think that was what he was referring to: like playing house.The sudden jolt from the car almost sent me hurtling forward, if it wasn’t from Harvey’s hand reaching for my shoulder.
