DANTE My heart stopped as I looked down at her body in the basement, she was unconscious, she looked like she was dead, but I knew too well that she couldn't, I could hear her soft intake of breath, but it was slow“Open the door” I ordered the guard and immediately pulled her from the ground, my body was completely folded and pressed into the ground, even if she was conscious, she couldn't go out on her own Anger raged within me as I carried her in my arm. Both her ankles were broken, and I couldn't see scars all over her body from healing. I was going to kill whoever thought it was a good idea to do this to my wife. I climbed the stairs and froze at the top as chills went down my spine and I need not be told that someone else was down here “Jake, take her to the hospital immediately” I put her into the guard's arms, and he ran, I closed the compartment door making the place look a bit, but I could see as clear as the day “… Do not make me find you, I know you're here” I perceive

LEAH ONE MONTH LATER I stared at the butterfly carefully, making sure not to scare the hell out of it and just when my fingers were mere inches away from it, someone pounced on me and the butterfly went flying away from my grabs “Why are you out here?” Dante's voice rang in my ear. “Finding ways to kill you!” I snapped and knew a flower in his direction which he laughed at and caught so easily “... I was this close, I've been trying to get one in my hand for the last thirty minutes, and I was so close!” I walked towards him, and he walked back while muffling his laughter. “I'm so sorry, I could pick another flower for you, it's not that hard to see…" He plucked a flower out. “Don't ruin my damn flowers! It was a butterfly, not a flower!” I snapped more, and he paused before putting his hand over his head in surrender. “I'm sorry I didn't know, let me make it up to you” I glared at him and I began to remove my gloves “... Seriously, I'll make it up to you”“Can you catch another

LEAH I laid in bed hating everything about being here, I need to somehow converse with the women to begin with,that was really tasking and only the goddess knew what other tragedy awaits me I let out of a sigh, it was the middle of the night and I still not asleep eve if there was a lot of things for me to do the next day, a hand against my thigh made me jump and I look side ways to meet my husband's sleepy gaze "Don't scare me like that" I snapped quietly and he chuckled before pulling me into a cuddle "You are meant to be asleep why are you awake?" "I can't seem to sleep, I'm thinking about tomorrow" "Stop stressing, if you get tired of them you can come and interrupt me now close your eyes sleep" He cuddled tightly and I laughed before snuggling "Good night" I whispered but I got a snore in response ******* The sunlight crept through the curtains, casting a soft golden hue across the room. I slowly awoke, the silence of the morning wrapping around me like a familiar, c

DANTEThe shrill, piercing sound of the attack alarm cut through the air like a blade, a shockwave of cold that slammed into my chest. The world seemed to freeze for a moment, and then everything erupted.A maid walked in without a knock and the look on her face says it all, something was going onI barely had time to register the noise before my body was already in motion, driven by a primal urgency I couldn’t control my body was at the door before I even knew it was. My heart hammered in my chest as I shot to my feet, adrenaline pumping through me, every muscle in my body screaming to move faster.The Luna’s meeting had been so close, just a few moments ago but why in the world didn’t we hear anything before, how could we possibly not hear anything when we were just minutes away, I had been hunched over reports, the quiet ticking off the clock in the background. Now, chaos had descended on us. I could feel the weight of something dreadful settling over me, like a storm cloud ready t

DANTEMy body hadn’t stopped trembling with anger ever since she went missing, I couldn’t think straight and even if I ran as fast as possible I couldn’t catch up to them that day, hell I couldn’t even see them, they were too fast because I could still perceive her scent faintly but she was nowhere to be foundI returned to the kingdom and turns out the news had already reached before I arrived, mournful cry echoed through the castle walls, vibrating in my bones, rattling the very air I breathed. It was a sound that spelled one thing and one thing only, chaos.Panic.Desperation.And at the center of it all, I stood there silent, seething; my fists clenched so tightly that my claws had torn clean through the skin of my palms. I barely even registered the blood dripping onto the marble floors of the war room."Lock it down," I snarled, my voice a raw thing dragged from somewhere deep and violent inside me. "Lock the entire kingdom down. No one leaves. No one enters. Not without my expl
