" I already knew Larvene is the culprit. Never have I picture her so cruel. I thought she's your friend " Ethan said to me with a shrugged. He was walking me back to the cave of darkness and I could never be more grateful for him. He is the only family I have got now since father had forbidden me with Lycan throughly. Lycan is with us too but he's walking ahead. The evening sky is already here and we are returning to our home. I can't believe everyone is scared of me now. why? They all believe Larvene's words and blame me for the men's death. I would never do that to anyone. I care about everyone, damnit! " Was " " Was? " Ethan asked and I nodded. " Yes, was. Larvene stopped being my friend the day she tried throwing herself on my husband. " " She had a good reason though. Which lady would see Lycan myth and fail to fall for him? " Ethan's question brought a sigh out of my lips. I shook my head in the negative as I agreed to him. " You are right. No one will see Lycan and fai

The warmth of the morning sunlight finally wake me up. I yawned a little before my eyelids fluttered opens very slowly. I was about to sit up when I realized Lycan is beside me. I couldn't believe it for I know he usually get up early. Gently I turn around to see him fast asleep. His thick eyelids were closed and his one hand is just over his face. His hair spread unto his pillow, covering the layers entirely. Instinctively my face give way to a smile. I couldn't help but admire him again and again whenever I lay my eyes on him. I reached out after many minutes of hesitation to pull over the hair that was obstructing his view away but I was out of luck. Just as I reached out, his eyelids slowly opens and I froze at once. I made to sprang up but he immediately captured me with his hand that caught my wrist and pull himself to me. For some seconds I couldn't breath. I only stare deep into his eyes, completely mesmerized by the beauty in them. " I...I thought you were asleep " I man

" Amelia! Amelia wait up " Ethan's voice came from behind but I didn't reply. The passage way is empty, luckily for me. I am out of breath and close to tears. I have nearly cheated on Lycan. how will I explain myself when I get home? oh no. I was about to take another turn when Ethan pulled me into himself immediately. He covers me with his arms and patted my back. " I thought we are siblings. won't you tell me now what is going on? " He whispers into my hair and I sobs against his chest. I wonder why fate has decided to go cruelly for me. I can't live without Lycan and I know he wouldn't think twice before calling our marriage off assuming I have make up with Maynard. " I don't know what to do Ethan. I really don't know what to do " Slowly my step brother ease me away from his embrace just to Stare inti my face. his eyebrows creased up together and he shook his head. " Don't tell me you mate with Maynard " " I almost " I answered before looking away. Ethan knows me so well. bo

" This is suspicious. Why would any human invite Lycan? I hope it's not Lady Katherine " My thoughts in turmoil. I am very sure the Maynard is dubious. He must have invited Lady Katherine into icy pack. Lycan should know better than listening to his brother or anyone. After listening to my father's words and all I have come to know no one loves Lycan. They will harm him if they have the chance. they will hand him over to the humans if they got the opportunity. I get up from the bed slowly and headed towards the waterfall. I could hear the sound of Lycan walking about in the dressing room so I smile in relief. On my way to the lake I chewed on my lower lips as I scolded myself for the uptempt time for groping Maynard. It isn't right in so many levels. I pray Lycan would forgive me because I fear he will try to get back with me on that. I get to the small lake and a smile etch my face. The soothing pleasant sounds of the drops is so overwhelming. Gently I get into the lake and swim f

" Don't do it again. I will never forgive you if you do " Lycan's soft voice compelled me to open my eyes and stare up his face. He was laying still on the pure quartz with me in his arms. " I'm sorry Lycan. I know I shouldn't have... try to go off to Merry pack that way " In response, he ease up from the Pure quartz and sat up to stare at me. His ominous eyes making me to feel vulnerable. His dark wet hair had pull over his face, framing one of his eyes sexily. I made to lower my lids but then I couldn't. He seem to have captivated me with his eyes and soul. " I was referring to my brother. If ever you try making out with Maynard , I won't forgive you " My heart immediately shuddered at the promise and warning. I gulped down hard when I witnessed the determination in Lycan's face. He had made this one slide but he won't permit and tolerate another. I nodded my head slowly and an uneasy smile breaks out from my face. Slowly I stood up from the pure quartz and enters the lake. My
