Chapter 2
I woke up because of a weird noise in the middle of the night. And it seems like it's coming from the upper floor which is the third floor. There are loud noises like someone is running desperately, then a loud creek followed.
What's happening? Are we in trouble?
I stayed on my bed—lying, trying to figure out what was causing that noise because it still doesn't stop. I suddenly felt a bit of fear in my system. Should I check it or not? That floor is out of limit for me, right?
Agh! I'll check it! Okay Aze, breath in, breath out. You can do this!
Of course, I go anywhere when I'm feeling unsafe and he can't do anything about that.
I slowly get up and out of my curiosity I walked out of my room to check on what's going on.
I tip toe to suppress my noise. I am now in front of the stairs but something is stopping me from going upstairs. My heart is beating so fast like my life depends on it.
I wanna feed my curiosity but I still don't want to die—if I will…
"What are you doing here?"
I stopped moving when a manly voice suddenly asked me. What's his name again? Oh right! I should ask him but not now, this ain't the right time for that.
"I heard some noises and I thought something was happening in there. I just wanna check what it is," I explained, that's the truth anyway.
"I'm just fixing some stuffs there. You can go back to your room now," he said coldly said, maintaining his stare at me so I awkwardly slowly walked back to my room.
I shut the door and locked it the moment I entered the room. He's so weird, fixing some stuffs in the middle of the night? But the noise was different. It seems like there were other people in there and not only him.
I tried erasing it in my mind but I just can't. It's already stocked in there and it even stopped me from going back to sleep.
I saw the sun rising but my eyes were still open, staring at the white ceiling. I don't want to meddle in his business because I actually don't have the right to just roam here and to whatever I want because I'll just leave here soon.
Argh! That's enough, maybe I should get some exercise and eat, my eyes are already exhausted because I haven't slept enough.
I got from the bed, did my morning routines and got out of the room. I'm just too lazy for an exercise. Maybe I'll do it tomorrow or next week, months or years or maybe never. Gosh I'm such one hell of a couch potato.
No one was there when I reached down stairs so I decided to go to the kitchen and cook something that can feed my empty stomach but not my curiosity.
I ended up cooking some eggs, bacons and hotdogs for the two of us, though I don't know if he's still here.
I will also try to find a place to stay permanently and a stable job. So maybe I'll thank him later for letting me stay then I'll leave.
It's not really a good thing living with someone that I don't know. I don't even have his name so it's totally awkward, really.
And maybe he saw me as a nosy bad-ass because of what happened last night. Yeah, I really am nosy but I deserve to know whether I'm safe or not to where I'm staying.
I saw him getting out of his room with just his boxer shorts with him when I'm about to check if his still in his room after cooking.
"Hi, I was about to call you for breakfast. I cooked some foods." He stared at me blankly. What happened? As far as I can remember, he's not cold to me yesterday then he became cold now? Is it because of what happened last night?
"Okay," he replied
“By the way, thank you for letting me stay here but I think I need to live by myself from now on. So, I'll try finding a place to stay and a stable job later. Don't worry, I'll pay you when I got my first salary."
"You're not going anywhere!" He said and walked near me.
"What do you mean?" I asked, wanting to understand what he's saying. He's a bit weird, isn't he?
"I said I won't allow you to leave, Aze. You'll stay here whether you like it or not.” What?
"Hey! I have my right to decide on my own and you can't do anything about that! Not because you helped me, means you already have the right control me! I can pay you, just wait. You are just no one, to decide for me! And how did you know my name? I never gave it you! Who are you, really?"
I started to lost my temper with him, I don't even know him so why was he acting like he's my husband or something? And he called me Aze, only my friends call me that way and I'm a hundred percent sure that he ain't my friend.
"Who am I? You really wanna know who I am Aze?"
"Yes!" I answered bravely, not minding his stare that seems to melt my whole body and the heat that is surrounding the both of us.
"Well, I am your mate my Azmariah Denise Cole," he answered and trapped me with his arms.
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh wait, let me introduce myself to you. It's so rude for me to not introduce myself. I'm Apollo Blade Lucerne, Mi Reina"
What? So, he's really m-my mate? He is Apollo Blade Lucerne? Fuck! So, that's why I'm kinda comfortable with him the first time we met and I felt like we're both connected? No way! I really should get out of here.
"Escaping again, Mi Reina? Well, guess what? You're trapped here with me forever, you're trapped with this alpha as your mate and you can't do anything about it. I have my eyes in every corner of this house so, don't ever try to do what you're planning," he said with finality in his voice.
He left me there standing like a statue. I can't believe that the man that I'm running from is the one that I run to. Such a dumb woman that I am. How come I haven't even saw the alpha back then? How can I even run from a man whom I never saw? Heck no! Stupid Aze!
I decided to walk after him and saw him eating what I cooked. But it seems like he's not enjoying it. Am I a terrible cook?
"Don't stare at me like that, or else—"
"Or else what?" I cut him from talking, waiting on what he'll answer me.
"Or else, you'll see how an alpha move in bed with his mate"
Chapter 3.My jaw almost dropped with his answer. That's not gonna happen, I won't stay with him for a long time, I'm sure of that.I don't trust a guy like him. He may be an alpha but he can't make me do what he wants even though he's hot.I decided to roam around his library, I actually don't like reading books but I need a better excuse to avoid him.A book suddenly got my attention, the title was written in a different language that's why I can't understand it but its content is written in English.I don't know why this book got me, the cover is just a plain black but it really feels different, like I need to read this.The most powerful creature, that's the words that are written in the first page.Vaewolfves, a werewolf-vampires hybrid. Pale skin, red lips, and has an ability to change its appearance in either vampire, werewolf, or human. It often doesn't show in an early age, the creature will stay in
Chapter 4.----FLASHBACK----I'm here, lying on the ground in this dark night. I'm searching for a playmate but I found no one, don't they want me to play with them?I almost jumped because of shock when a man held me from behind, but before I can even look at him, he made me smell something and that made me sleep.~"Shut up kid!" A man from behind me shouted and started to hit me with a belt in the back. I was just asking for him to let me play even just for a minute, was that a bad thing?It's already a month after I've been here but why can't they stop hurting me? I never disobeyed them, I'm a good girl."Ouch, please have mercy on me. I'll be a good girl I promise." I started crying when I felt the pain and my back was slowly getting numb.Pain, so much pain... Huhuhu m-mommyyy I just want to play, I'm not even asking for a toy,
Chapter 5. I woke up and did my morning routine like nothing happened last afternoon. That's what I always do, cry and then move forward, but I can't forget. I can't do anything, I need to move forward but I'm just a human who also gets hurt. Though my heart aren't intact anymore, I can still feel it... The pain that is chasing mo everyday making my life so heavy and the bed of sorrow that I'm lying to because no one even tried to get me up. I can't always pretend every day, I can't be brave every day because it's hard, it's totally hard for me to do that. I want to be true to myself for even just an hour or two. I stepped out of the room and tried to find blade but he seems nowhere to be found. I tried going in every room, I even tried checking the last floor but he's not there. Did he left? Where would he go? It's a great news right? But why do I feel sad for not seeing him? Oh hell erase that thought! I should celebrate because no one
We sat on the couch, both close to each other, my heart is beating rapidly just by being this close to him. I still can't believe what has just happened. I don't know why I've said those words to him. It feels like my heart has been longing to say it to him but my brain kept on denying that, so as my pride kept on stopping me from admitting what I'm feeling.It took me a lot of courage before I did that. I don't know where these feelings came from but I think it's because I'm mated to him which brought me an intense feeling of love that can't be helped anymore. I'm hopeless in a positive way.I felt him touched me and made me sit on his lap, he started caressing my hair lightly making me feel his love through his touches. His soft hands brought chills down my spine.I'm not a vocal type of person, I won't tell him that I do but I still can't help myself but to move without my mind's permission.I heard from others back then that he's cold to everyon
"We're going back to my pack," he said out of nowhere that made my eyebrows met. Why so sudden? I mean we came here a week ago because I ran away from them and now he decided to go back like nothing happened? Can't we stay here for a while?What if they're still mad at me? What if they still can't accept me? I don't want him to choose between me and his pack, I'm selfish, yes I am but I don't want him to feel like I'm controlling him, that's unhealthy for a relationship that just started even though destiny itself is the one who mated us."But blade, you know that our situation now is still complicated, I don't know if I can face them, some of them- or maybe all of them still hates me, you can always go back there but I won't" He sighed with my answer. Am I giving him a hard time? Should I just sacrifice now?"Mi Reina, we need to face them, I promise, I won't let anyone hurt you, trust me this time my queen... Please.." he pleaded and I know that I can't
There is a table for two, candlelight in the middle of the table, food, wine, and a man playing the violin just beside where Blade is. It looks like a romantic dinner date, the date that I've been dreaming to experience since I became a lady that only he can give me, and here it is.He's wearing a formal suit, which made him more manly and handsome even though he already is, I never saw him in this attire before but he looks good in it, it suits him and I can imagine making love with him with that attire of him on, but I immediately erased that thought as I know that he can always read my mind.He met me at that stairs, looking at me with his glowing eyes, I'm just wearing a simple t-shirt and shorts because I didn't know that he has this plan. He then held my hand to help me walk down the stairs without leaving his eyes on me. He's such a gentleman, my man."Flowers for my beautiful mate" he gave me the bouquet of red r
Three weeks had passed and the blood moon will now come out after a month of waiting, time flies so fast, right. It seems like I've just read that book yesterday although it was actually a month since then.That's why I'm afraid of time, it can change anything and you can never fix it when time doesn't want to, if everyone was afraid of creature like us, then I'm afraid of how time work because you can never turn it back the way you want to, you will just find yourself reminiscing but not going back in time to change everything. I admit that I sometimes wish to turn it back then I'll realize that it's impossible. Now look at me now, waiting for a useless thing.I was actually waiting for it, the blood moon and I still don't know the reason why, I'm just really curious, though I won't witness the vaewolf with my own eyes since I don't know whom it will be, it could be more amazing if I'll watch that myself but let's just wait, maybe there'll be a sigh or something on wh
Blade came back like nothing happened even though there are many things that he missed including who I truly am, and there is much pain that he failed to stop, pains that can probably change me to life, but I hope not. He promised to protect me from any pain and to not let it go through me again, but where is he? Gone for some fucking reason that who knows what and I also don't want to know it anymore. I know it's not his fault, it's never his fault, but I wanna know why he wasn't here last night. I wanna know why I suffered alone, again. I'll be so inconsiderate if I'll blame him because there's no one to blame but me, it's always me and it has always been me. "Good morning mi Reina! Rise and shine my sunshine... I missed your smiles already, hey, wake up my love" I don't wanna open my eyes even though I ain't asleep. I don't want his smile to vanish just because I have no strength to smile at him back, I don't want him to feel guilty just because I failed to pr
