Chapter 18[Tournament III]With Tyler’s grinning face, I could tell everything had gone terribly bad. He took his locket and hung it on his neck chain.“Do not let me win like the first time. Let the greatest be called Lord.” He said and walked away.I rushed over to Ian to check what his locket says. It says “only old friends can give the deserved pride.”“He will never let you win. You have to take the bead back.” I said.“I can not take it back.” Ian yelled, attracting everyone’s attention towards us. “I will handle this. Do not talk to me about it any further.” He ordered with a red eye. He hung the locket on his neck chain too and stormed out. I looked at my arm. I was bleeding from the muscle Ian grabbed angrily.“Is everything ok?” Saint Cooper asked looking a bit concerned.“yes, everything is fine.” I replied.“OK. Please join us at the arena. This way.” He said, pointing me with the direction.“I’ll join you soon. I just need to see my lord first. There is something I must
Chapter 19 [The passion] I rushed over to Ian to check what his locket says. It says “only old friends can give the deserved pride.” “He will never let you win. You have to take the bead back.” I said. “I can not take it back.” Ian yelled Tyler let go of my hand. “You say this wine is for a Victor lord, and you bring it for Ian when you know we are pitched against each other?” He asked and then laughed. “I know he will win. That is why you envy him so much. Because he is stronger.” I said. The arena was full of whispers. Tyler had won two rounds of the three. The eeriness of silence ached my head. Tyler rushing off towards Ian with all the force he could find in him, was the last thing I saw before collapsing. *** It is late in the afternoon, and still no sign of Ian arriving back in his Castle. Kendra asked me to fill her in the stories which she had already concluded where amazing, but I was not really in the mood to. My larger attention was focused on any possible news ab
Chapter 20[The comfort in you.]• I slowly opened my eyes. I faced the ceiling of my room. Kendra didn’t come to wake me up. Or perhaps she hasn’t. What was keeping Ian? Immediately, my fear began to creep in again, and soon, it was consuming me. Was I right? Did a miracle not happen? Is Ian an outcast?• Ian pulled me to himself and hugged me again. He kissed my head. “Thank you Bellamy.”• Yesterday, in the lake, we made love under the sunset, today, we kiss forever under the sunset. The passion of his touch was prayer being answered.*********“OK, please do not tell anyone I told you this. Especially the Alpha. You did not get this from me.” Kendra requested.I chuckled. “What is it?” I asked.“I can not tell you unless you give me your word.” She said, holding my hands while tripping hard.The excitement had got through to me and contaminated me as well. I because super excited to hear what secret she has for me. “Fine, I promise not to say a word. You didn’t tell me anything. W
Chapter 21[Fated mates: Rainy sweet nights.]Ian returns. It is evening. Caleb took his coat. I smiled. Ian made a groan as he took off his coat. His arm was still hurting. His self healing process had been drastically slowed down because of his life force in me.“My lord.” I teased him. “How was it today?” I asked.“Construction will begin tomorrow. The site has been cleared out.” Caleb answered in his place. Knowing Ian well enough, Caleb knew he wouldn’t answer my question. Not in front of everyone like that, where he was supposed to be the almighty and fear striking Alpha he had built as his reputation.“I made dinner.” I said.“I am not hungry, but I will have a taste.” He said, and smiled deviously.“Sure, but first, I have to take you to the bathroom.” I said, taking his hand. I smiled at him. I knew he loved my smile so much.Yes, I bathe him. Although he refused at first, he gave in.“So, you are my mother now?” he said and laughed.“No, I’m not. Not yet. Right now, I am jus
[Hi ]Again, I looked from the side of my window. He rode pass on his skateboard. How perfect he looks today, just like every other day. We could make a perfect couple if you think of it. I mean, I’m cool, pretty, and my dad says I have the most beautiful eyes in the world. Yeah, I think we’d make a perfect couple, that is, if only he knew I exist. Dad called again. Breakfast was ready. I pulled down the curtains. It was a new day to stay indoors!I joined Dad and Jared at the dining table. “A wonderful night huh?” Dad asked. I nodded. “She has been up for hours, staring at her window, waiting for that boy to skate pass. She does it like everyday. Didn’t you know? She has an entire album of his photos in a box.” The little squid said. I smiled shyly. Dad already knows I have a crush on Robinson. Practically, all the people who know I exist, know this. I blush at his name. This is me, at age 16. Dad kissed me on my forehead. He does that every time we eat. If mom were here, I
[The beautiful horizon]My fingers hit the strings one more time before I stopped. I raised my face. They cheered me, and it was nice. I felt alive and among. These people notice me. “Thank you so much. Thank you.” I said. My guitar fell from my hand, crashing to the ground. “Oh, I’ll help you with that.” A male voice said. He helped pick up the guitar. “Thank you. You didn’t really have to.” I said. I raised my face. I was sure my heart skipped a beat. My mouth was open. “hi. Rob.” I muttered off my shaking lips staring at him so close to me. “Rob? Wow! I didn’t realize I was this popular.” He said. “I’m sorry, I got to go.” I said trying to rush off, but he held me back by my hand. “wait wait, have we… have we met before?” he asked. “We? No, I don’t think so.” I said like I was in a rush. “wait, now I’m beginning to think I have seen you somewhere before. School?” he asked, holding on to my wrist. “No, no. I swear Rob, we haven’t met before.” I said. “You do realize you h
Chapter 3[My heart]Hi, my name is Bella. At age 9, I was diagnosed with Xeroderma pigmentosum. A rear skin disease called XP. To break it down, I am practically a vampire as sunlight isn’t really a thing for me, but that isn’t so bad. I’ve always wanted to be a vampire ever since I was very little. I guess I got that wish, except it literally kills me and gives no super power. Dad bought me a grand piano when I was 10, but, piano wasn’t really my thing so I got the guitar and violin instead and, I am really good with both. At sixteen, I was already a star at the train station. This was a long time ago though. “She gasped. His fingers in her mouth, April loved the sweet entanglement of his touch. And there again, he always gets what he wants!” I read and sighed. I put the book back in the drawer, and pushed it close. Gabi waved from outside the office. I shook my head. “Good evening. I didn’t know you had a shift today. Oh my god, you look breathtaking! What’s this? And that smile
[Bonded.] It had been six days since I had gone missing. I wondered how my family was doing? I wondered if Rob had even noticed or cared to. Three days ago, all I wanted was to go away from this unknown place and continue my life where I left it, but now? I don’t really know anymore. I see peace here, and so suddenly, these people had been treating me like a princess. I had asked severally, who he was, and why they held me here. Their answers were confusing. I stepped out of the bathtub. Kendra covered my body with the towel. “when can I go home?” I asked.“But this is your home.” She replied. I sighed. “You’ve told me that before, but this isn’t my home.” I said.We moved out of the bathroom. The soothing lotion, was applied on my skin. These people were filthy rich. On my bed were flowers, and notes. He gets me them every morning and evening but wouldn’t come to see me himself. I picked up a flower and sniffed it. It smelled nice. “It’s a silver rose. One of the best we h
