Punishment
I pulled my hand from him. I rose from bed. I winced as I felt my healing bruises around my body. My eyes surveyed around the room I am in. It’s a totally different room from the cold cell I knew.And as if he knew the question in my mind, he explained why I’m here.“This will be the interrogating room. At the same time, this is where you will stay.”“You shouldn’t be here with me.”My head remained lowered as he spoke.“And why is that?”“Shouldn’t you know that I can kill you here in a snap?”“Shouldn’t you know that your body is not in the right condition to kill an Alpha?” he came back at me.I smirked unconsciously. I looked around. The room is painted with gold on the walls. Furnitures were antique yet classic. Even the bed sheets felt premium something a slave shouldn’t have. The room is wide and spacious. Doesn’t look like a prison cell for an assassin.“Too fancy for a slave,” I whispered but he still heard it.“I found out something…”I immediately felt my stomach tighten in fear of what they would have found out. I raised my head at him slowly as I tried to remain calm.“We investigated your items…” he trailed off.I swallowed hard.“And?” I asked with my voice threatening to shake.“I found out something.”“I know. You already said it. Spill it,” I felt so impatient.He smirked but then hid it anyway.“You’re in this room because I found out you’re not from the lower class just like common Warrior Witches. From your items, you might be in the upper class. An Elite or a Noble. And you might be a slave here but you’re still from the upper class. You know the conflict between Witches and Werewolves and if they find out that you’re sleeping in the cell, conflict may happen.”I stifled a laugh yet it didn’t have humor, just hiding my nervousness. They can’t find out about my identity. They can’t find out that I’m a Dival, daughter of the previous Grand Wizard.“You’re judging your treatment towards me with my personal items? You’re dumb if you don’t know that Warrior Witches have the same privilege as the upper-classes. They have the privilege to have the same weapons as the upper-class Warrior Witches.”He looked at me intently. Silence stretched at every corner of the huge room before he took out a familiar dagger from his pocket. My mouth opened as I saw my dagger. The light reflected on the emblem on it.Sette. It was on the dagger.”Only the upper-class can have personalized emblem on their weapons,” he said in a matter of a fact.I smirked at him. My eyes stared at those tantalizing dark pair of eyes. He had pitch black irises. His long lashes made him look dreamier. He had a sharp jaw, thin but kissable lips, he had a clean cut on his hair. I haven’t seen him smile before and I had the urge to see him smile.I blinked a couple of times realizing that I’m getting pulled into his presence. The pill I drank is starting to weaken because this time, I’m closer to him.“And how sure are you that I’m really Sette?”He narrowed his eyes on me. My eyes followed his tongue as he licked his lips. I immediately looked away when I felt the sudden thirst. Shit.He walked closer to me and leaned his head closer to my ear. I felt his heavy hot breathing on my neck. I closed my eyes feeling too much tension in me.“Let’s start the interrogation. Let’s stop with the flirting, shall we?”My eyes widened a fraction and I snapped back to reality. What did he say?“Bold of you to assume that I’m flirting with you,” I scoffed.The side of his lips curled to a smirk. I felt my heart skip a beat. Damn. This is bad.“Your eyes are flirting with me, Woman.”“Excuse me?”“Let’s start the interrogation or I won’t be able to hold back and just stay here all day.”My jaw dropped. I couldn’t react properly with what he said. I can’t laugh about it even if I want to. It’s ridiculous! He’s ridiculous! He should have known that now that he met me, he’s bound to die one way or another.I just shut my mouth and prevent myself from talking. There’s already tension building up between us and I don’t want it to grow more.He sat in front of me and skimmed on the papers he’s holding. I don’t usually adore men. All my life, I was never interested in them. Except if they were one of those models who were ripped, toned, tall, godly features, and to die for presence.But this man in front of me looks like he just came out of the magazine. He had his other leg bent on his knees making the muscles on his leg protrude. He wasn’t too much bulky, his body was in the perfect shape making women drool over him.“Sette Val, right?”I licked my dry lips as I eyed him.“I can be anyone I want.”He sighed like he knew it’ll be hard for him to squeeze something from me.“I am giving you a favor here. You’re safe if I will interrogate you.”“I didn’t ask for it,” I stayed cold and stern.“Then what do you want?” he eyed me intently.I looked away from him. I couldn’t handle the tension anymore. I don’t know if I’m the only one feeling the heat inside this huge room. For a big room, it seemed so small with Lane here with me. I cleared my throat to answer.“Release me. Forget I came here.”He shook his head in complete displeasure of what I said.“I won’t. The last time I checked, you want me dead.”My lips slowly made a smirk. He followed every move of my lips making me feel the small tingles in my body.“How sure are you? I was at the forest to hunt. Unfortunately, the arrow I’m aiming to the deer was directed to your direction somehow.”“Somehow?” he sounded intrigued.I nodded.“Yup! You don’t have to worry about your life since I don’t fancy a dog,” there was a hint of insult in my tone.I expected him to be offended with my words and tone but instead, he looked challenged, interested even with my choice of words. I looked away when I felt the tension rising to the heavens.His brows wiggled playfully as he tried to hide a smirk on his lips. He shifted on his seat comfortably and looked at me intently.“Then you should worry for your life then,” he huskily spoke.I breathed in an amount of air.“W-why?”“Because I’m kinda hypnotized by a Witch.”What did he mean? I felt my heart hammer in my ribcage. My head hurt trying to process what he said. My breathing stopped as my eyes met his. Those eyes that held the night sky. It was dark, pitch black. But I saw stars shining.“I have been thinking of a way to punish you. You attempted to kill me but failed. Your organization has abandoned you and you have nowhere to go because I won’t let you go.”I gritted my teeth. My heart shouldn’t be beating this loud.“You can kill me if you want to punish me.”“I won’t do that.”“How should I be punished then?” my lips shivered.“Be my Luna,” his voice trembled with every word as my heart forgot to beat.SavedI laughed remembering Lane’s offer yesterday. I shook my head as I turned off the shower. I finished taking a bath and even the interior of the bathroom looked like one of those in a five-star hotel. Of course, I laughed so hard that day that he left this room without any information from me. But after all the laughter and giggles, I felt cold. It made me wonder why he wanted me to be his Luna. Is the pill not working anymore? I eyed my body in front of the mirror. I looked for a possible mark but there was none. “Chill. He’s just joking yesterday.” As much as I want it out of my mind, I can’t stop thinking if he noticed me as a mate. I’m sure that no Marking happened between us. Then my face heated thinking about his offer. I wrapped my body with a small towel and went outside of the room. I stopped from my tracks when I saw Lane sitting on my bed watching my every move like a lion staring at its prey. “What the hell?!”Immediately, I covered my body with my arms even whe
Like Moth Following the FlameI rested my back on the headboard of the bed. I let the doctors examine me as my head remained lowered. My eyes were fixed on my fidgeting fingers. I just woke up after the attack. After Vicki shot me. And I… saved Lane. It’s still a big question in my head that I saved Lane. I came here for his death but why on earth did I thought of saving him? I never had the guts to raise my head until I felt a familiar presence enter the room. I slowly raised my gaze to confirm the assumption in my head. I froze the moment I saw Vicki. I swallowed the lump on my throat as I followed her every move. She’s dressed in a nurse’s uniform and naturally attended to the doctors as she carried a platter of medicine. And just behind Vicki, a saw a pair of cold and intriguing eyes. I hitched my breath as I stared at Lane’s deep eyes. I couldn’t even last more than five seconds adoring his eyes when I looked away. I felt the shivers on my spine with just that cold look of Lan
Confusing HeartMy back felt the soft mattress as Lane pinned me on the bed. I couldn't care less of what was happening around me anymore. How is my marking gone suddenly? How am I giving in this quickly? My body was just to fixated to his kisses that sent shivers on my spine. A moan just escaped from my lips when I felt his hand cupped my breast gently. My breathing ragged mountains as I felt the touch of his hand slowly approaching my wet folds. I didn't even know my jeans were already unzipped! And like a moth following the flame, I didn't care is I was burning with his every touch. I didn't care at all! I just kissed back and touch him all over his body. My hand travelled to his shirt. I didn't like the way our clothes were separating our skin. I want to feel him. I want feel his warmth and just be filled with him. "Slowly," he chuckled. My fingers were already shaking from unbuttoning his jeans. My patience were slowly ripping second by second. I didn't even realize he was
Cursed DreamThis shouldn't be a question at all! Putting me to the battle field? Letting me touch a weapon when they accused me of killing Lane which is kinda true. If they let me outside of my room, go to the war, defend, I might just kill Lane. But of course, the only reason why I'm not going outside of my room was just to avoid him. I don't know if the pill was not working anymore but... I'm feeling something I shouldn't be feeling. I diverted my eyes from Lane when I felt his hot gaze burning me. "Convince me all you want but I'm not going anywhere out of this room," I started. Silence remained in the room. It was the awkward silence that I don't want to experience. "Okay. Amara, can you leave us for a moment?" My eyes widened at Lane's words. "You can't c-convince me, Lane," my voice broke. I'm suddenly feeling the chills with the idea of me and Lane, alone in one room. "I'll just leave.""Amara," my voice raised. She looked at me with questions in her eyes. She's getti
“Take my hand.”I looked at Lane’s relaxed hand as it reached out to me. I just shook my head and boarded the ship. I saw Amara smirked when I got inside in one of the cabins.I didn’t know that to go to the battle grounds, we needed to take a ship. Just outside the main base was already a wreck and to know that the real war happening is just on another island makes me think that I should prepare for the worse.My eyes took a glance at Lane. I caught him looking at me but he eventually cut the eye contact. He cleared his throat and I watched how his adams apple followed his hard swallow.“We’ll arrive there around three in the afternoon. I’ll just brief you first before I put you in the grounds.”I nodded.“I thought I was gonna do the briefing?” Amara asked.Lane looked like he just realized something. After a while, he just nodded slowly.“Sure,” he said before leaving the cabin.My lips pouted. He seems weird. I turned to Amara and saw her smiling at the door where Lane left. I sta
Explosion Lane called for someone from his men earlier. He had his forehead creased and brows furrowed as he discussed something with that man. I bit the insides of my cheeks.I couldn’t understand myself. So, what? So, what if he doesn’t want to brief me? Do I have to feel this way? I get that he wants to lose his interest in me but I just feel so bothered by it when I shouldn’t be.I waited for their conversation to finish. When I saw the other guy leave the room, I looked at Lane confusingly. He sighed heavily before he spoke.“I’ll brief you. Follow me.”I just pursed my lips. do I have to complain? If I would, it would only extend my stay here. I watched his broad shoulders as I followed him. He gave me gears. He handed me a bulletproof vest before we entered an elevator.I silently stood beside him. My eyes then slowly looked at his reflection on the elevator. His were straight and not even budging to look at me. I sighed inwardly and just waited for the elevator to reach the r
Fragile HeartsI tried to rush out off the ship but Amara pulled me back. My mind just got clouded with the bombs and explosion I’m hearing right now. I turned to Amara and I’m reading her lips because I couldn’t hear every word she said.My breathing ragged every second. I shook my head slowly, not processing what Amara is saying.“Sette! Sette! Sette! Listen to me.”“A-Amara… Lane… Lane…”“Calm down, okay? They’re fine. Nobody is hurt, okay?”I nodded when and closed my eyes tightly. I feel my blood rushing out of me. I feel my body heating up and the pain in my thigh is starting to weaken me.“We n-need to go back,” I hugged Amara when I felt my body giving up.“Yes, we go back.”“To L-Lane…”Amara brushed my back gently as I continued to catch for air.“No. It’s not safe.”“But—”“We need to go b-back. Please…”“Hush…”When we clasped from our hug and the moment Amara saw my pale face, she gasped. My vision started to get distorted and I couldn’t see clearly anymore. My mouth ran
Incredible The blood I tasted from his bleeding lips lighted the fire in my body. My hands were messing his hair as I dived in deeper with the kisses. I felt Lane’s fingers playing with my beads making my breathing faster than it should be. I stretched my neck so he could have more access to it. He started to plant hot kisses on my skin. I bit my lower lip and shut my eyes close as his lips lowered to my chest. When I took a peak at him, I saw the hem of my t-shirt already raised up to my chest. My bra was already loose and all of those, I didn’t realize. I was busy kissing him, tasting every bit of him. My eyes sent shivers to my spine when I saw him nibbled at my peaks. My back arched perfectly as he raised me more easily so he could have an easier access to my breast. His tongue glided smoothly on my nipples. I pursed my lips, trying to stop a moan. I bit my lip as I fought the urge to moan but when I felt his bite on my nipple and his finger stroking my other nipple, I lost al
