"Ready for tonight?"I don't have to turn to see who spoke behind me. I just bathed and when I went out, I saw the people very busy with all the decorations. It's our sixth day here and the day of celebration."Never been not.""That's my girl." He chuckled and went beside me. He was about to hold my waist like he always did for the past days but I shoved his hand away this time."What?" "We don't need to be intimate. No one is watching. They are busy so quit with your damn acts. And may I remind you, I'm not your girl so don't call me that.""Really? But everyone else here knows you as my girl."For all he knows, his dear cousin knows our little secret. We didn't have an agreement to keep each other's secrets, but I guess both of us decided to keep our mouth shut. Why would I tell anyone what I saw, anyway? It's not my story to tell. I'm out of it so why would I concern myself? All I just have to do is to do my mission, and to

The next moment, I just found myself being dragged by Rage towards the forest. I had no time to protest nor I had plans to. I was too stunned of everything that happened that my mind can’t still process it. We stopped by the river and that was when I managed to composed myself. A lot of events happened tonight and with all that I realized about myself especially in connection to my feelings with Rage, I don’t know what I should do anymore. I felt like a wild flower lost in the middle of the forest. I can’t seem to justify all my actions, nor stop my emotions from flowing. I know I shouldn’t feel this way considering that what we have is just fake and Rage will soon go back to his true mate, but what can I do with this stupid feelings of mine? I can’t control it nor eradicate it easily like killing a victim for a mission. It doesn’t goes that way when it comes to love. This is a whole different thing “Why did you brought me here? You could have just told them the trut

Before I could make my tenth step, a hand forcefully pulled my wrist. I swore under my breath and pushed his chest hard even though I know it won't make any difference."What the hell is wrong with you, Rage?!"His dark brooding eyes stared at me with that serious expression in his face. He looked as if he could kill someone right now. He looked as if he was ready to lash his fury to someone just to ease the burden in his chest. I sucked on my breath and tried to get away from him. I only got more pissed when I couldn't."What the fuck were you saying, huh?""Didn't you hear me?" I shot my brow up. "It's not my problem that you didn't. Don't expect me to say the same thing twice. I don't do that.""You will leave just like that?" He sounded so offended."Why? Are you thinking that I would stay with you after what happened? To ask you to be responsible for it?" I barked a laughter. "Given the fact that we have been together for s

Ameira’s POVA solemn, sweet melody from the citharas enveloped the whole hall. Holding my golden goblet filled with wine, I silently watched how the newlyweds in front smile at the guests."Lady Celestine is two years younger than you, Ate. But look and she got married before..."I shot my brother a sharp look. He snorted and smiled."Does the older one always have to come first, Eiden? What if she gets married first? Does that mean she's prettier than me?"Her eyes narrowed, straining to keep a smile on her face. He looked down at the walnut I was holding, which was almost crushed."Uh, of course you're more beautiful, sister! No one can beat you when it comes to beauty ..." he said nervously.I raised an eyebrow and stroked the hair on my right shoulder. That's true. I may not be the one holding the title as the noblest woman in Derra Avades, but I am the most beautiful."First of all, my wife and I are delighted that

"I told you, Ameira! I told you not to go out!" Dad's anger greeted me when I arrived at the mansion.I was still in shock. That's why I didn't answer a single word of what Dad said. I just bent down, silently crying."I told you, didn't I? It was an underground auction! Most influencial people were gathered in that place, the reason why I didn't want you to attend! But you chose to disobey me!"I close my eyes when I hear the violent breaking of the glass he was holding earlier. I've never seen him this angry before. Just now he was completely angry with me. And I understand it. I put my life in danger. I was too naive, I didn't know any better."What if something happened to you? You were too careless, you didn't even think about your father!"I bowed."I-I'm sorry, Pápa ..."He did not speak for a moment. I slowly lifted my head and looked at him. I stopped sobbing. I saw him draw a deep sigh before looking at me again, this
