I let out a startled gasp as I wriggled beneath him. But my body was unconcerned, and it continued to acceptably squeeze his essence. Suddenly, I felt myself being pushed over the edge and into a blinding white light; the beat of my heart pounded in my chest. Still in shock, I saw that Tyler hadn't finished. Not yet. I wanted to cry from the overload of sensations, exploding and fracturing the stars. So I clutched to him even tighter as I felt myself being swept away by the rush of ecstasy. I wanted to sink deeper into him as he pounded me with the same desire to cool off my body. Never before have I experienced simultaneous feelings of pleasure and anguish—the bizarre combination of worry and excitement. My muscles ached as he pushed forward, ramping up the pace and, if at all possible, getting them closer. His privates slamming across my thighs flooded my ears with a luscious sound, the music that me and Tyler are jamming with. Eventually, I just couldn'

“Hearteaters will never be brave to step out in Moonburn since they are only in power when they are near their creator.” Which was me, Eliane—my so-called mysterious other half by the way. I almost voiced it out if not for a ghastly grip that wrapped around my wrist. Eliane’s grip. “Hearteaters may travel around the world but their power and strength weakens the farther they are to the bones of Eliane.” Nodding, I grabbed the remote and asked him to play a game with me so that we could immediately cut off our conversation about Eliane and her mighty creations. Our so-called masterpiece. We ended up choosing Super Mario Bros, simple yet entertaining even until now. Tyler and I played, and I always ended up winning. I knew Tyler was just bullshitting the hell out of me because he knows I enjoy being the winner and him being the loser so that he could pressure me in bed that, since I won, I should be the one to do him. The one that should be on top of him. He

Someone has been poisoning me. And if someone has been poisoning me, who could that be? The only person that has been with me all the time is… “Tyler,” I muttered my husband’s name, brushing away that parasitic thought that I have no proof of if he actually did it. Besides, he has no reason to poison me— ‘I am you. You are me.’ Eliane’s voice shook my core. I brush it away with a subtle shake of my head. ‘Please, Eliane. Leave me alone!’ No one told me that one cannot fight her own corrupt soul. Yet, here I am…sending Eliane away from my mind as if it was possible. “She only felt that more gravely now because she is far from Stella’s Soul.” The voice of Alpha Kairo, even a few meters away, still shakes every corner of my bones. He glanced at Tyler before jerking his jaw to me. “It was my sister who told me. She can detect poison and is immune to poison. Nyrene even tried giving you a drink with poison to see if your body would react. But you didn’t. And now you did.” “What t

It is my first time waking up in Stella’s Soul—inside the Honeymoon House—without the scent of rain and forest and mist welcoming my senses. Tyler taking off his shirt and going inside the bath was the last thing I remembered before I cuddled with my pillows, eventually occupying the whole bed with my snore. I should apologize to Tyler. But what am I going to apologize for? I don’t even know what I did wrong. I don’t even know what triggered Tyler to act coldly towards me. “You’re awake.” There, by the threshold of our room, Tyler leans by the door. Shirtless and unzipped pants beckoning me to reach for his dick. My breath thickens with every step he takes, closer and closer to where I am sitting at the edge of the bed. “Are you feeling nauseous?” I shook my head. “Aren’t you going to vomit? Shriek because you have a migraine? Go back to sleep because of your pregnancy sickness?” I keep shaking my head with every que

Rowena was smiling towards me; a sweet, unfeigned motherly smile that I could easily fall for if I was not on my right mind. I blinked, hoping that I was just imagining things, that I never found this gallery hall and never heard Rowena’s voice under the bright light of day. Yet she was there, still grinning as if it’s the only expression she knew. If a smile could kill, I have already dropped dead seconds ago due to my eyes not peeling away from the image of her smiling a few moments later. “Rowena…” I breathed, touching the frame, the names engraved on it. Rowena Cruz and Alpha Bryant. Year 2000. “So you have found me,” her eerie voice echoed in my ears. “I know that you have always been a smart girl, Elaine.” I couldn’t hide my blush though. It has been a long time since I’ve heard a compliment from someone other than Tyler. Speaking of which…he has not come home yet even though it’s past four in the afternoon, the time that he p
