"So in the end, you got the artifacts." Lilith mumbled but I kept staring at the loamy floor like one who was enchanted."I mean, it's almost unbelievable you got them within a short period of time. I'm even particularly surprised at how you managed to outsmart Eren without waging war against him...." She continued to rant but my mind was elsewhere. I could only think about the night. For the first time he cried, for the first time he stood up against me and for the first time, he left me. I should have just chosen to pacify him rather than start an argument. But my ego didn't let me, my stubbornness to just yield to this love once again had its say. Even though I didn't want it, my mind kept replaying his heart wrenching words."This is why Martha left you.""Maybe you're not so different from your Father after all.""I don't want to see you. I don't want to be by your side anymore. I don't want to be with someone that fails to see my worth." I rubbed my chest gently trying to soot

"Green!""Green!""Green!..." Lilith's voice kept pitching throughout the hallway as she trailed behind my back but I kept ignoring her."Green!" She called again as I almost reached for my room door knob."Green, you're pregnant!" I gasped, my heart skipped a beat as my body shuddered in faint excitement. I turned to her just to confirm she wasn't playing tricks with me. And indeed, her countenance confirmed it. My eyes widened and I couldn't even phantom how to feel. On one hand, there was fear and on the other, there was joy and excitement."You're pregnant Green." She quoted again. This time on a relatively calmer note."I don't believe you." I whispered but she inched closer, flashing a tiny smile of admiration. She held my left palm, the same one she had cut before."I found out during the ritual. You're carrying another life inside of you, Green. Your blood says it all." She explained and I just remained dumbfounded."The Mark on your neck says it all. This child definitely be

"I was doing just fine before you came, Zeus,” I whispered and the wind blew softly across the flowers decorated around his grave. My chest raged with a burning pain intertwined with anger and sadness. My eyes embattled warm tears I resisted from touring across my cheek. I couldn't help but get swallowed in the moments we had together. They came in a flash yet each moment struck hard in my heart. Like a burden that kept pulling up."But then you came like a star, you stole my fragile heart." My palms curled into a fist as I breathed softly. "And like a strange visitor, you left me." My voice trailed off. "You left our child. You left us..." A tear gently toured down my cheek and my pain only dosed, my head kept replaying his last moment. How he had died horribly. How I had failed in protecting my mate when he needed me the most. "Let it out..." I heard his voice tone softly beside me. I frowned whilst turning my head sharply to my right."Zeus?" I called weakly in awe and disbel

As I walked on the hallway leading to my room, amidst the darkness and solemnity, my mind trailed to our first night together. How he had carefully treated my wounds with his ointment. I still remembered how smooth his touch felt, his warm breaths, the relief intertwined with pleasure I felt.I pushed my twin doors open and I was immediately welcomed with warmth and darkness. I heaved a sigh, tired of everything. Without thinking, I crashed into my bed. I flipped my fingers against each other and my clothes disappeared leaving my underwear. My eyes faintly closed and then I felt his presence again. I opened them and there he was. His accustomed warm smile and Hazel eyes that gleamed, his blonde hair were perfectly messy to my taste."At least wear a smile for me. Aren't you happy to see me?" He toned sweetly but I only managed to feign a tiny sad smile."I failed to avenge you Zeus." I mumbled with a heavy dose of guilt blooming. "I failed you once again." My voice broke as tears grac

"How long are you going to remain like a statue?" Henry chirped but I still froze regardless. I kept staring at him in awe and disbelief. After so many years, here he was. Before me, wearing a cheerful countenance on his black outfit as if nothing disastrous had happened between us. As if he didn't disappear for centuries.He took the bold step, gingerly walking towards me till he stood barely inches away from me. His face still retained it's attractiveness like I remembered, but they also beheld suffering he's probably endured over the years. His hair had a slight trace of gold strand on closer look, one I once used to run my fingers through. I still maintained my frozen status regardless. His smile deepened and then he gently wrapped his arms over me. Holding me firm in his cold embrace.My breaths ceased and my eyes twitched. I was hoping to find comfort in his embrace like the old times but nothing was forthcoming from his cold body.They weren't like Zeus. Warm and endearing.I h
