MATTHEW POVI'm inside my room, having an intimate dinner with Cindy who is soon-to-be my bride, along with my father. While I kept smiling at her every time our eyes met, it was the opposite of what I was feeling inside me. Until this very moment, I'm still concerned about what happened to Rhea. She is my fated mate, after all, the one whom I'm supposedly sharing my dinner with. Imagining her face, I could not help but grin slightly. I wonder if it were her I was gonna marry, it would surely be the best days of my life- and I would probably become the luckiest man alive. "It looks like you are smiling, is it because you are excited to tie the knot with your second mate?" Cindy asked, pulling me out of my thoughts. I stared at her coldly, making her feel that she did not matter to me at all- even this ridiculous wedding that my cunning evil father had set up. He is the only one in my damn family who will surely benefit from this bullshit. As per me, I would need to prepare myself b

MATTHEW POVI managed to sit down in a wobbling chair, and I could feel it would collapse anytime soon. I followed him with my eyes until he settled on the chair in front of me. The thunder strikes from the skies, making everything even more terrifying. "Why do I feel those thunder striking is it because I have come here? The weather was nice until I arrived here...""First of all," he said, starting at me without blinking his eyes, "I wanted you to know that I'm not an ordinary person but a cursed witch hiding from the likes of you. So believe it or not, out of all the people here, only you can see me and my house. I created a portal that connects you to my domain."I laughed at his words, This man is sick in the head- I am certain of that! "But all the witches have been eradicated many years ago! According to my father, they died in the great war along with the other creatures except for us," I exclaimed. When it comes to history, there is nobody I trust when I ask questions exce

Touching his body, I started to feel asleep until my eyes shuts. Suddenly, I heard Jared through mind link again. "Do you have a minute? I would like to talk to you for a while. Don't worry, I am not here to cause you any trouble. I just want to show you my appreciation because of what you have done to save my cousin," he said, sounding so nice and friendly but I am not convince because I smell something fishy is going on. I was so fucking terrified. The fact that Atlas is not yet waking up only means that I'm the only one who can defend myself just in case Jared attempt to attack me. "I don't want to talk to you," I said, "Please, let your cousin rest for a while. Neither of us is capable of defending ourselves.""I told you, I ain't come here to cause you any trouble. I have come here to show my appreciation."I heard heavy foot steps on the ground and it's getting louder and louder. The banging on the door came again. I am freaking tired of dealing with Jared so I decided to co

"Please, I am doing this for the sake of your credibility as the leader of them. If you do this, it will make them realize that you need me for your survival and they won't harm me anymore." Without saying any more words, Atlas decided to drink my blood in front of the crowd. I almost turned pale and weak but seeing him regain his strength made me so happy. I saw the mixed reaction of the crowd. Some of them were leaving and some of them stayed, still could not realize that Atlas drank my blood. They were whispering to each other but their voices were too weak for me to understand it clearly, not to mention that they were talking different things. Atlas stood up and wiped his face. With a loud voice, he spoke up to them with confidence. "As you have seen, I already give you the entire truth about myself. If it weren't for Rhea's blood, I would have died of starvation. Her blood is unique and it suits my condition well. Without it, I would constantly need to hunt animals and feed m

ATLAS POV He looked at me as if he wanted to kiss me so badly. I feel so damn awkward right now considering that we have been alone and we obviously have mutual feelings for each other. "Why are you staring at me like that?" I asked in wonder. I looked away, dodging his eyes. "What is wrong with that?" he asked as if he did not feel that the atmosphere was getting a little bit awkward. "Stop looking at me, I don't feel comfortable with that." "And what if I looked at you this way? Come on, I don't feel anything awkward at all. But seriously speaking, I still feel weak at the moment. If you don't mind, I'll just go and find us something to eat and some herbal medicine in the forest. I need to cure my wounds." "I volunteered myself," I said without hesitation. "But if I need to do something more than that, please do not hesitate to say this to me. I need to return the favor." He nodded in disagreement, "No! After what happened earlier, there is no way I'm gonna allow you to do
