The wind caused her surrounding to be filled with loud rustling noise but all Rose could hear was her own heartbeat, thudding loudly against her chest. Dominic's breaths smelled fresh to her nose. His hair tickled her cheeks when he leaned forward but quickly, Dominic pulled himself from her.He stared at her green eyes that sparked like a living gem and brought his hand forward, "This is not the end."Rose, who was still stunned with how their lips almost touched couldn't wrap her mind on his words and saw blue sparkles surrounding her when Dominic snapped his finger.Her eyes moved to see the sparkles, wondering what it was to realize it was butterflies flapping their wings to soar over her surrounding. The beautiful glitters took Rose's breaths away and Dominic watched her expression in awe in silence.He recounted what he knows about Rose. Since they met, Rose had saved his life and it might not matter much to others but to Dominic, he never forgot a person's kindness in him as mu

Shawn didn't want to show fear and glared as showing fear was more embarrassing to him than death but when Dominic glared at him, he quickly cowered across the floor.On the other hand, the ruckus had created such a scene for Lady Ashley to rush outside the dining room once she gotten ahold of the situation of her son.Rose, who saw the woman had her eyes narrowed. Dominic pulled her hand and the deadly strength he had earlier seemed as though it had never been there before with how gentle he had tugged her arm and brought her behind him."Are you okay?" Dominic questioned.Rose nodded but Dominic was unconvinced as he stared at her wrist."What is happening here! Oh Shawn!" Lady Ashley yelled in panic upon seeing her precious son on the ground with a bruised handprint wreathing over his neck. "What is going on here?!" Her eyes quickly darted in anger at Dominic which Rose didn't miss."I don't expect a person without moral to give birth to another human with a moral. Your son would h

Rose doubted if she had heard it right, sleep?! With Dominic?!Her lips and breaths quivered as she looked at his fiery eyes. Dominic might appeared like the person to force when they wanted something to be done on their way. His appearance that was tough and fierce would for certain push anyone to the corner but that wasn't what made Rose's heart thump as if it could burst at any moment such as now.She couldn't help but squeeze the small question, "What?""I didn't say it aloud?" Dominic stared at Rose who was now on his bed, enjoying every second of it. Her golden hair fell along her thin shoulder.Although Rose was on the thinner side because she had less access to nutritious food, she was supple on her hips. Her dress, falling on the side only emphasis on her curves which his eyes couldn't look away from.Dominic's fingers caressed on her skin that slid gently on the milky texture. Her skin was fair and perhaps too fair, Dominic know himself as a person who didn't like fair skin

Rose shrieked when she felt the pull sucking her hand deeper to the bushes. She tried to get away but the hand that pulled her in was much more stronger than she could handle.As Rose tried to find a way to release her hand, a voice appeared next to her ears, "Leave! Leave this place now!"Rose's eyes snapped open. On her front was the wooden ceiling of her bed. Her heart was still racing and her consciousness was muddled in confusion between reality and her nightmare.She pushed herself from the bed weakly. Her hands, even down to her feet was trembling like a newborn deer. Rose placed her hand over her chest, feeling her loud heartbeat.What was that dream?! She knew she had been unsettled for the past few days. Her surrounding was different from her usual home, there was a woman who warned her to leave Dominic in an underlaying threat, and last was Dominic's story about his mother.Rose looked at her surrounding. The silence was painfully stinging. Now she understood what kind of l

Dominic pulled out his sword from the body of his enemy. Blood. The heavy, nauseating stench of rusty iron fragrance of blood filled his nose. Having a sharp sense of smell backfired him at this kind of situation where the smell of blood would churn his stomach. But that would happen only in the past, when he was younger."They have been more and more persistent to kill you since you left the castle," Cain stated. This was the eighteen attack coming after Dominic's life once they took off from the castle.Dominic was barely concerned about the amount of people coming from his life as he knew there was only one person behind the whole attack. It won't end until he take off the root of his problem which he would promise to do soon enough.Dominic's eyes moved from the body on the floor toward the forest behind them. Stepping on the body, he made his way to the entrance of the forest which was covered with heavy fogs. As though the darkness was not enough to hinder his sight, there was a
