Maknae Of Twice Novels & Stories

“But remember, Lady Elowen. Second wives don’t get to rewrite the story. They only get to accept the ending.” Elowen held that gaze for one long moment, then turned slightly - just enough to show she was aware of the dais and the court beyond it. The banners fluttered faintly with the movement of air through high doors. The sound of distant bells - announcement bells, ceremonial bells - threaded through the hall, low and inevitable.

Eva felt herself losing communication with Isa, her wolf. Certain memories were coming back to her mind like they never existed before. She recalled having a grandfather not from her father's side but her mother's and she had vague memories of him playing with her. Eva remembered having those dreams as a child, but she soon forgot them, mostly as a result of the challenges she was facing. She remembered that girl who looked like her. Never, in her entire life, did she imagine herself having a twin sister? That girl was a replica of her, but it seemed like they had only met once, and that made the memory faint.

For an old man, he was a fan of using sarcasm. "I have no idea what that Duple Vin... means, please elaborate." He rolls his eyes at me, definitely not what I expected from my former teacher. "Duplex Vinculum means that one of the two, in this case it would be Kaya actually has two possible mates and she can choose who to stay with. Did someone else try to claim her as a soulmate?" No, that can't be it. Besides, she would have told me. I think. And no one besides me is claiming her, I won't allow it. Just thinking about that possibility makes me crazy.

The shorter of the two men narrowed his eyes at me, tilting his head slightly to see me better. His eyes flashed with suspicion before he spoke to his taller friend."Yes, you're right. She does look like her! Now that you say it, she looks a hell of a lot like the world-famous slut. And she has a twin sister too. Damn, you're her, aren't you? Or are you the other one?"I took a slow breath, trying to remain composed. Being busted now would blow everything. I didn't even know where the auction was yet, and I hadn't even met their so-called boss. I had to roll with this.

Everything suddenly felt so confusing. She suddenly felt an urge to speak to the goddess, and so she focused her mind and imagined the body of a goddess. Having no idea of how the goddess appeared to be, she just visualised Qiwan as how she wanted Qiwan to look like: herself. "Goddess, why did you send me to the mortal world if you intend for me to forget everything?" Granny Meng instantly turned towards her. Surprisingly, Granny Meng's words were "you were born for a reason, and now, you will be reincarnated without the need for my soup. Go along, and embrace your new life and journey."

I shot back. Chloe's eyes finally dropped but only for a second. "No, to protect us," she spat the words out venomously. I raised an eyebrow. "Us? You mean you and me?" Chloe's eyes locked onto mine, and for an instant, a flicker of insanity stared back. "Yes, Mia. Twins forever, Remember? Chloe's face contorted and her teeth gnashed in anger. "You had the perfect life before!" she snarled. I sat back, confusion etched on my face. "What are you talking about, Chloe?"

Like the trails of countless ants crawling over the surface. The two hundredth year, he invented the double meanings. The same word, he remembered, could carry two meanings. One the First Wolf King had spoken. One he had understood himself. He didn't know which was correct. He tried to write both meanings into the same word, using the same sequence of letters to carry two separate interpretations. After writing it out, he stared at it for an entire day. This word could be read as "to guard." It could also be read as "to imprison."

24 hours. Cassian’s fingers twitched. Anais stood and crossed the room. “What does that mean?” “It’s a cipher,” he said. “An old code Julien and I used.” Leon stepped closer. “You think he sent that?” Cassian’s voice was low. “No. Harlan used Julien’s code to make sure I knew he had him. The ‘forest’ is our past. ‘Burns from the inside’ means someone close is going to betray us again. And ‘decide what survives’… that’s my choice.”

She looked over at Gabrielle whose flustered cheeks had turned red. “What is the request?” Maya said, trying to sound casual as possible. “A double outing with your friend, myself, you and Ryan.” The two ladies exchanged flabbergasted looks, Maya was overjoyed that she busted out before she could stop herself. “You mean a double date?” “I…no…I mean yes” Brian’s stammer decipates his shyness at admittance. “You have a shoot by…..” “I do not have a shoot Gabrielle, Mr Dinkins, send us the details, we will be more than delighted to join you.”

"The treatment might save us both. Or it might kill us both. I don't know what to do." More kicks. Hope was moving a lot now. Like she was trying to tell me something. "Are you saying take the treatment? Or don't take it?" The kicks continued. And then something strange happened. The kicks formed a pattern. Kick, kick, pause. Kick, kick, pause. Like Hope was sending me a message in code. But what was the message? I tried to count the kicks. Two kicks, then a pause. Two more kicks, then a pause. Two meant...
