Finding Power

Rose rarely hear such tone from Dominic. There was a sense of loneliness that she could feel from him. She wondered what he had dreamt only to remember their conversation not long ago where he said he always dreamt of his past.She looked at his face. In her heart, she questioned. What had made Dominic ask for her wish? She knows he would always want to fulfill her wish but this time it was strange. She could feel how desperate he was. “What nightmare was it?” Rose whispered her words again, letting the ocean wind to float her voice to his ears. “You,” Dominic lifted his face to look at her, “I dreamt of a time where I lose you.”“You will never lose me. That was a dream, Dominic,” she whispered, wrapping her hands around his shoulder snugly. “Is that why you asked for my wish?”Dominic hummed. Truth to be told what he had dreamt was different. Indeed Rose had left him but that was all on her own wish. She didn’t disappear from him, she had decided to leave him. The nightmare put h

Crossed Wolf

Rose still couldn’t understand what the magician had told her. What he meant by her being the same as him. It was clear they are different. She wasn’t someone who is bloodthirsty. She couldn’t use magic like he did. Even if she search for any similarities between them, she couldn’t find anything. He was a man who seemed to be on set on killing the werewolves while she didn’t know they were real and not a curse until the other day. She began to wonder why the magician was set on calling her as his kin. Why won’t he attack her?The only reason was because she and him was similar. In a way where she could use magic like him. “He said that we are same and you are different. He didn’t like how I helped you, claiming I should be on his side,” Rose responded with a sigh. “So I come to the conclusion that I might be able to use magic like him.”“He knows about you just by a glance?” Dominic questioned, raising his eyebrows. “Even if you are able to use magic like he does, what makes him s

Known Cousin

When he stood up, his build towered the rest of the wolves. They were all similar creature with blessed figures and stronger physic than humans, resulting to them having a normally taller body. But their leader was different. He wasn’t only tall or big. His body was the body of someone who had trained themselves against war. His muscles were firmer than any steel around them and his intimidation was something that everyone in their kingdom feared.He didn’t want to believe what he smelled as he knew it had been almost two decade since he smelled this scent coming from his mate. “Bring me that letter now,” he demanded. Remenia walked quickly, feeling fearful as he settled the letter on his hand. He feared that after reading the letter, their leader would only have a bigger outburst of anger. Dian who walked near him, softly whispered, “Was that letter really written by Lord Stavros’s mate’s son?”“Shush!” Remenia shut Dian who could still be at ease in such situation. He could only

Castle’s Ghost

Josie walked down from her room late at night. She could not sleep as she kept thinking of how it had been a week and no letter had been sent from Rose. She wondered if something had happened and the thought get deeper, causing her to wallow in the depressing thought.As she was walking down the staircase, Josie had heard a sound of footsteps from above her, making her feet to stop suddenly.She recalled how she was at the second floor of the castle where the third floor above belonged to the duke and the duchess. The duke had left the place while the duchess was terribly ill from the attack that happened last time.Then whose steps were those?The servants knew not to touch the third floor, unless they would like to be punished. Josie only moved her steps once she had convinced those sounds were a part of her imaginary.She must have imagined the sound. She must have! It wasn’t possible for her to hear such footsteps when there was no one behind her. There was no ghost in the castl

Ruling Castle

“I might be wrong however!” Josie quickly said, “I did wake up suddenly so I might have misheard it.”“I will have al the servants asked,” Shawn said at once.“No! I don’t think it’s necessary,” responded Josie only to see Shawn whispering to the butler and the latter disappearing, as though ready to scold the servants. “Sometimes there are servants who do not follow the orders that are given, it’s a must to scold and punish them,” said Shawn firmly. “As you say, I don’t believe in ghost but to see you panic that you’d fall from the staircase, I believe it’s more than a simple hallucination.”Josie didn’t know how the castle work but Shawn’s words made sense to her. She nodded her head, agreeing to his words.“I’m sorry again,” Josie whispered when she looked at his ankle that had been bandaged.Shawn smiled, “As long as you are safe that’s all that matters to me. You can’t sleep?”“A little,” she answered, taking a seat in front of him. “What are you working on?”“Complaints,” answe

Agios

Shawn could tell the maids planned on waking Josie late at night before frightening her to death. Their plan did work with the only different that Josie hadn’t been able to sleep and instead frightened herself.Josie had been clear open about herself to the maids, not knowing how some of them have slept with him and was jealous to see how close they have became. Shawn could tell most women who spend their night with him once dreamt of becoming the next duchess, an idea that was both stupid and foolish. Yet Shawn didn’t care. He knew their foolish plan and went along with it, raising the hope of some maids and laughing when seeing their hope being broken. He didn’t know how angry he would be to find out his action had led to Josephine to almost die.The anger that surged through his veins burned as he imagined what would happen if he was a minute late to save her.When he left the servant hall and had his time alone, the magician followed him two steps behind. Shawn ordered without

Meeting Grandparents

“There are many people who would like to meet you, Sir Dominic,” Remenia spoke, smiling as he wanted to form a good relationship with Dominic. Although he might have started at a wrong step, he hoped it wouldn’t offend Dominic as much.“Your grandparents, Lady Elizabeth’s parents, the current King,” Remenia pursed his lips, “Also…”“What about Lord Stervos?” Andrius inquired. “Who is lord Stervos?” Rose questioned curiously as it was her first time hearing the name mentioned. After her words she found both Andrius and Remenia looking at each other awkwardly. “Our captain,” said Andrius. The captain? Wondered Rose. That would mean the man was Lady Elizabeth’s mate…?“Why he doesn’t want to meet me?” Dominic boldly inquired, looking extremely chill. “But I thought you had sent him a letter. Lord Starvos is a reasonable man,” Andrius reasoned. “What did you wrote in the letter?” Rose didn’t knew how Dominic had written the letter and looked at him in unison with Andrius, curious and

Cloudy Warmth

Lord Salem couldn’t stop looking at Dominic. In all his eyes were the face of the young man who was extremely similar to him. He couldn’t believe he would have a grandson. When his daughter had left, he had expected the possibility of not seeing her again and although that did happen, he was glad to find his grandson, the child who came from his beloved daughter.Dominic could feel the sincerity coming from the elder couple which he couldn’t express on how it made him feel. It was his first time to feel such kindness and sorrowful from the people who was his family. “We shouldn’t keep them waiting here!” Lady Christine said quickly, wiping her tears away. “It is too cold here, are you feeling cold too Dominic.”Dominic shook his head as he was about to take off his coat and replaced it to Rose, lady Christine made her way next to her. The older woman settled a smile on her lips as she looked at Rose.Seeing the warm greeting, Rose quickly offered a gentle smile in response, “Greeti

The Mansion

Rose looked over the window of the carriage, finding the citizen of Agios enjoying what seemed like a festival. Vendors covered the side of the street with people and their family enjoying their time.Although Agios was a kingdom of werewolves, Rose noticed no different from the street at the town back in Essex. If she had to mention one thing was the lack of violence in Agios. The people seemed to be close, everyone knowing each other as it proven with how a child had waved their hand toward the window, greeting Lady Catherine.When Rose shifted her eyes to the older woman, she showed her a smile in response, “Usually I would take my time to stroll around the street. Agios might have a large territory to govern but everyone here knows each other, just like a small tight knit village.”Lord Salemn nodded, “In the past, Agios was quite terrible. It wasn’t until twenty five years ago when the new king was crowned and the people’s life quality improved.”“A new king,” Dominic noted.“He

Trustworthy eNOUGH

Iris could feel the grim gaze from Dominic as he kissed Rose’s forehead. Her lips settled a smile while her hands balled into a fist. Seeing Dominic to his grandfather, Rose then shifted her eyes to Iris. “Where should we go, Lady Iris?” Iris could only stare at her, wondering if Rose was naive to happily accept her offer. “What do you like to see, Lady Rose?” Iris offered in a gentle tone.“Flowers,” Rose responded at once. “Is there a garden here? Other than the one in front?”“There is, follow me,” Iris stepped forward before her. She looked at her older brother before coming closer to whisper, “Go follow Dominic. You’re my older brother but do I have to tell you every single thing you should do?”Nico seemed to be used with his younger sister’s sharp words, only nodding his head in response and following after Dominic. Rose watched the frown on Iris’s forehead, making her curious, “Is everything alright?”“Yes, even if it is not, I don’t think there’s anything you could do to
