Elsewhere in the middle of the forest inside the pack, which is used by the shifters for their runs, Lucian was walking leisurely.Ophelia was irritated by his behavior but dare not to speak it out loud.His warning still fresh in her mind, she tried not to push him further.What he did is wrong, he might have had his reasons, but kidnapping people who belong to the shifters is considered sin in her books.King Darius and Thea must have forgiven this good-for-nothing creature, but she is not planning to do the same.She got more irritated by his leisure pace, as if they are walking in a park.This is the pack forest, it is spread for a hundred acres, beyond the mansion and the Lake.The Lake is spread throughout the wilderness, nurturing birds and animals. There are so many wild animals in the forest, and none of them are dangerous.They were walking for about 2 hours. It's too dark and Li is too tired. She had her training early in th

Here in the east wing of the Mansion Darius and Thea were laying on the bed."What was that all about just now?" Thea asked Darius.She knows that he is pairing them up intentionally. She did not understand why?"What?" Darius acted all innocent.He understood what Thea was talking about, but he wanted to tease her. So he acted as if he is confused about what she asking him."I know you understood what I am asking, don't act all too innocent" Thea playfully nudged Darius with her elbow."Ouch," he rubbed the abused spot, even though it does not hurt at all."Are you hurt" Thea asked with concern, looking at the spot where hit.A soft smile was playing on his lips, looking at her concerned for nothing."My cute little Angel" Darius pulled her into his lap."Hey" Thea protested half-heartedly.Darius looked at Thea and couldn't control himself. He leaned down to kiss her on her lips."No mister" Thea stopped him w

In the middle of the forest, Ophelia staggered back with shock and confusion. She touched her kiss swollen lips and looked at him with wide eyes.She never experienced anything like this before. If she is being honest with herself, then she can admit that she was lost in his kisses and they felt nice.But, she is not ready to accept it. Her pride will not allow her to agree to something which she did not have control over.This scared her more than anything could. She looked at him with confusion and a little fear. Her fear comes from the knowledge that she might lose control again.Lucian looked at her with his pupils dilated. He took a step towards her and she staggered a step back. Confusion and fear evident in her eyes.Lucian misunderstood her fear. He thought she is scared of him. He retreated his step back away from her.Ophelia was so confused, she turned around and fled the scene. As her feet were already sore, she couldn't take more than

In the west wing of the Mansion, Amber rushed towards the room door to escape from the awkward situation she found herself in.In her embarrassed state, she completely forgot about the rusted door which locked them both inside the room.She hastily rushed forward and pulled the doorknob only to belatedly realize that it's locked and not opening.She forgot about Lucifer who is still in the room with her. Panic gripped her heart in its iron fists.She started sweating profusely and shivers raked her spine. Images of Ornan and the dark world started to play in her mind."Go away, please leave me alone" Amber held her head tightly in her fists and collapsed on the ground crying.Everyone can guess can mental condition, but no one knows in detail, what she has gone through.Lucifer expected her to get scared when she realized that the door is locked. But he never thought she would become like this."Hey" he slowly approached her.

The next morning, a maid approached Thea, who was walking towards the living area of the mansion.She didn't see Amber since thi?s morning. Even though it's just 9 Amber is an early bird. She would have been up and around by now.Thea was walking aimlessly searching for Amber when noticed a maid approaching her in a hurry."My queen" she bowed with respect.Thea smiled at the maid gently."Is there anything you wanted to ask me?" Thea asked the maid, who seems to be hesitant."There is an issue with one of the doors in the west wing your highness. I don't know if I should trouble you with this or not" the maid replied with respect."It's ok, you can tell me anything. It's not a trouble at all. Don't worry, now tell me what is it?" Thea encouraged the maid."As we always did, we were cleaning the mansion this morning. The door of one of the rooms in the west wing is locked. We tried to open it, but it's not opening" the maid hes
