RAFAELLA   After checking out every corner of my chamber and confirming that it was empty, I ran back to my hidden passage where I left wolfie. My eyes grew wide, almost popping out from it's sockets when a figure came into my sight. Heck? Though he had his back facing me, I surely recognized whose back it was. My heart drums loudly beneath my chest. Damn! He's on my secret passage? When? Was he looking for me? And why the heck was he naked like this?   Erick!   "What are you doing here, Erick?" I queried suspiciously.   "Turn around." He commanded.   "No! Tell me what the hell are you doing in my secret passage?" I pressed while taking slow steps towards him.   "I said turn around and I'm not gonna repeat it again!" He o

RAFAELLA"We're not that far enough to be in an actual relationship but I assumed that we're good, right?" He asked me. His voice is laced with a slight eagerness that melts my hesitating heart.I nodded in approval. "Yeah, sort of…" I smiled at him."Now, let's go to bed and get some rest." He urged and kissed me on my forehead before he dragged me into the bed. He let me lean on his arm while his other hand circled my waist. He dragged me closer to him to the point that my face glued in his chest. He smells so damned good and I began to long for it knowing exactly that this is the last night that we're going to spend with each other.My mind wanders back to my secret passage and I truly wonder where the wolf could have gone this time. It still bothers me how that creature appears in there when I truly am sure that the passages are all too hidden to catch any creature's attention."Rafa, are y

RAFAELLAMy head is spinning around. We spent days and nights but Erick never mentioned anything about his sibling to me. Well, he never opened up to me about his entire family too. What we spent is one hell of messing up each other and getting along with each other in a different way. I started to feel disheartened with the fact that he never trusts me. Not even an ounce! His sugar coated words, his sort of a damned sweetness towards me, that makes me wonder now if they truly exist inside him. I better not expect too much from him. My heart begins to ache for that. I shouldn't be feeling this way but I guess I was too late. He could hurt me now and the least I could do is to endure it.I'm currently in my garden basking in the sun while sitting on my bench. Trying to think if I should be going there. He challenged me to look for him in a week and I still have plenty of time. I actually don't know why but there was something that seemed to

ERICKIt's been three day and three nights. I thought leaving earlier from that kingdom would make me feel better. I felt strangled by now and I don't know why. I just spent time in my chamber whenever I finished dealing with the discussion about some pack training and nothing else.I haven't had the chance to talk to my mother because she's gone somewhere I wasn't aware of. As usual, she might have gone to find a cure for my father's illness again. Ugh! Why am I acting like this? I couldn't get myself into the game that I used to play. My mind is elsewhere thinking about her. The nights that we spent together and the moments about us. It was swirling on my head. Whenever I close my eyes, all I can see is her face and eyes sparkling gazing at me. She had this naughty and provocative look on her face that made my blood rise to a high temperature. Her tauntings those times really made me smile when I was alone.'I missed her.' C

RAFAELLAI can't believe it!My breath hitched and my heart beat so fast in excitement. The eagerness to try the spell was so tempting that my mind began to imagine appearing in Erick's chamber to even catch a glimpse of him. Would he be happy to see me? Ecstatic perhaps? Well... I really hope so..."Rafa, get up." Bethany urged me and occasionally helped me in a seating position. She handed me a goblet filled with sparkling liquid and said, "Drink this to refuel your energy. Soon you will get used to it and you can travel whenever and wherever you want to."I frowned while looking at the goblet. "What's this?" I asked curiously. Ada chuckled. "My lady, that concoction never meant harm to your body. It will only add more of your strength if you try the spell alone." She assured me."Fine…" I took the goblet and downed it in one go. The taste was so damned different and I felt like puk
