🌷 M O N G R E L 🌷"It is not the length of life, but depth of life.".•●•.▪ A R I A N N A ▪My lips slowly lifted away from Merlin's wrist, the puncture wounds having sealed shut as my gaze drifted off. My breathing was uneven, trying to steady my heartbeat as I slowly lifted my gaze to meet with Merlin's.Merlin's eyes searched my face, wondering if he should speak and when he finally parted his lips, he said, "Yes, I was selfish. But I paid every price of my selfishness..... and after a long time of sufferings, moon goddess ended it with the gift she gave me in the form of you...," I can see he might think I have mixed feelings about his next comment, but he continued, "After twenty centuries of pain, I'm glad I have you by my side, finally."I was silent, letting everything sink in as he mentioned, "You're the balance for this world.""W-Why?" I could hardly s

🌷 M O N G R E L 🌷"A great obstacle to happiness is to expect too much happiness. ".•●•.There must be some truth behind his words at the way I felt, not just the explicit and unpredictable desires for him, but I don't feel the need to claim and mark him like with Alex and Demetre, it felt like he was already mine in every aspect. "So long as you have your claimed mates, I'll jot pursue you in that manner, until you're ready." I allowed his hand to roll mine in his, my eyelids closing just at a mere touch as it trailed up the exposed skin of my arms, "All the three of you are mine, I'm also here to protect them," his hands cupped my cheek, driving me wild with desire as I let out a shaky breath, "If something happens to our mates, I will remain here to ensure that they are protected. After that, if we wish to claim one another, only then will we consider it."Exhaling sharply, "You're not j

🌷 M O N G R E L 🌷"After a long time we met again....A great smile was on face after a big separation's pain....Wanting to hug you tight....Just to make both of us feel light....Wanting to see continuously in your eyes....And thanking god about having you....By saying the magical words, I love you....".•●•.▪ A R I A N N A ▪That was the moment I wasn't ready for, and I almost forgot! Today or tomorrow, but I've had to face my family. If anything.... I always wanted to make my dadda proud. "Unless," Zach's next remark brought me back to awareness and out of my thoughts, "you're second guessing showing up at dinner."Demetre'e muscle tensed when Zach suggested for me to stray away from him. "As much as I'd love to stay with you.... I think Demetre and I have a lot to talk about and smooth over even before we ar

🌷 M O N G R E L 🌷 "Sometimes we need someone to simply be there. Not to fix anything, or to do anything in particular, but just to let us feel that we are cared and supported." .•●•. Though Arianna wanted to spend some more time with Sargent, she couldn't bring herself to greet him after the hurtful exchange last time. It made her feel warm when Alexander came to stand by her side. He had been supporting her since she had transformed into a werewolf. He walked Arianna out of the main hall to the garden at the backside of the palace. The wind blew at them as they walked, the leaves in the trees rustling quietly. One strand of her hair that had been tucked in safely got out loose, to fall over the side of her face. Alexander looked at her as they reached the entrance of the garden. She was beautiful and powerful by nature. It awakened the beast inside him like a beacon

🌷 M O N G R E L🌷"She's been through more hell than you'll ever know. But, that's what gives her beauty an edge....You can't touch a woman who can wear pain like the grandest of diamonds around her neck.".•●•.⚘The Elamite Empire ⚘Elliot held her close to his chest and pulled her away from the door. Anxiously he looked around the area and then dragged her to the far side of the garden and placed her in the corner. Taking her shoulders he looked at his little sister and said, "Stay here and do not move.""Why? What is happening?" Arianna asked."It felt like someone created a disturbance in the pack's connection," Elliot said."What?" Arianna replied. Suddenly there was a loud bang and the doors at the other side of the garden flew wide open. Sargent stepped into the field and pointed out toward the adjoining forest, "This had to be
