Nicole was standing before the floor-to-ceiling window, in Roman's study. There was a bottle of wine in her hand and her eyes were red.Her face was pale and she looked like she would pass out any moment from now. "Luna!" Zarius suddenly called out from behind as he walked into the study. His eyes were filled with so much worry for her. However, he didn't get a response from her, as she was lost in thought. "Luna!" He called out again as he moved closer to her. A few seconds later, she turned to look at him, with raised brows. "You are needed at the daycare!" Zarius said, with a serious look. "I'll be there!" Nicole answered coldly and then turned to look back at the window. For days she had been shuffling between the bedroom and Roman's study. She also tried desperately to avoid her parentsZarius stood there for a few more seconds. Slowly, he then turned around to leave but he halted his steps when he heard her voice. "Where are my parents?" She asked and at this point, she
After Mrs Liu had dispersed the substance into Nicole's body, Nicole hasn't stopped from proclaiming that she isn't mated to Roman and likewise wasn't meant to be his Luna.She had left the healer's quarter without his knowledge since he wasn't back yet, with the thought that she'd wake up after a long time.As soon as she left the quarter, the way she behaved made every one who saw her assume she had run mad again. It was looking more like a psychiatric patient who had luckily escaped her prison."Who said I am mated to Roman?" She scoffed. "I don't like him, I don't fancy any thing about him. Why on earth would you think I would want him as a mate? Well, I ain't interested in any of that, and I don't want to be his so-called Luna, okay?! That shit should go to hell as well."Some guards had tried to stop her and take her back to the healer's quarters but she insisted. "Don't you even touch me or I'll strangle your neck to hell." She threatened."I don't need Roman. I don't want his
A tingling sensation started from the tip of Roman's toes and the tips of his fingers, quickly spreading throughout his entire body. Black hair spread throughout the expanse of his body. On the other hand, Roman also watched as his grandfather, Bryce's body grew long, white hair covering the expanse of his body. Bryce's face contorted as his nose vanished and a snout replaced it. The moonlight shone on the two giant wolves, one black and one white, their sharp fangs glistening under the light of the largest star.Glancing down, Roman saw that his hands were replaced with paws and he could see and feel the earth under his feet. Every feeling, the minutest smell, and every sensation was magnified a hundred times, in his wolf form."Awooooooo." Bryce howled out, facing the full moon and Roman followed suit. It wasn't every day they got to transform into their wolf form and run around a wide area. Also, it was a special day for Roman, it was his birthday and it was a full moon. To add to
"Nic, where are you? Come out right now." Mrs. Liu shouted and the 'heavens' shook, marching around the house and not knowing Nicole had sneaked into her father's study. As Mrs. Liu marched past the study room, Nicole's ear was glued to the door, trying to pick up her mother's movement. As soon as she concluded that her mother was way past the study, she turned around. "Dad, she's gone. We are free for about twenty minutes before she comes marching back." Nicole said with a girly giggle. "Come sit with me, girl." Mr. Liu said with a small laugh, eager to answer any questions his daughter might have. "Also, as soon as we are done here, you should go see your mum. She might have something for you to do. I know you would want to go to sleep after this." Mr. Liu added with a wink making Nicole pout cutely. With a pout, she walked sluggishly toward the couch where Mr. Liu was seated. Despite her sluggish stance, one could see the eagerness and excitement dancing in her eyes. "So dad,
"What else did it want?" Nicole asked in a low voice, obviously anticipating what happened next. The story wasn't gruesome enough because Mr. Liu decided not to narrate it gruesomely. "At that time, I thought the wolf would at least stop attacking and it would have had his fill, after all the spilled blood. At that thought, I decided to check up on you and your mum. Surprisingly, the wolf followed after me.""Wow, even after gruesomely killing the servants, it still wanted more? Wolves must be so cruel." Nicole said, shivering."They are more than cruel." Mr. Liu chipped in, even though he had only interacted with one rogue wolf while killing off any he encountered later on. It made me wonder if he wanted to have you or your mother killed." On the other hand, Nicole curled up on the couch, her knees meeting her jaws when she heard her father's last words. "I had to run up the stairs, in order to get you and your mother to hide. I had hoped that help would come soon but then it wa
The gift box was now the size of a shoe box. This discovery excited Roman, thinking Jamie got him new shoes. He wasn't short of shoes but then anything would count. Gleefully opening the box, with a wide smile on his face. Roman was met with a stick of candy, making his smile vanish immediately. "Jamie…" he called out through gritted teeth even though she couldn't hear him wherever she was. He tried to mind-link her but she cut him off immediately. Throwing the box in his hand back on the table, he started to walk toward the door but then he halted in his steps when he heard beeping sounds from his phone.With controlled speed, Roman was back at his table in fleeting seconds. Taking his phone and tapping on it a few times, he saw that his under-the-table stock was crashing.Someone was manipulating everything, however, Roman wasn't fazed. A wicked smile crept onto his face as he sat down to check where the problem came from. He grabbed his laptop and started to run a few already i
Mr. Liu glared at Roman but then he was met with Roman's cold stare. Mr. Liu was quick to turn his face away to look at Nicole."It's nothing girl, we just need you to do something for your mum and me. It's also for your future." Mr. Liu explained, chipping words about her future."Oh, I will do anything for you and mum." Nicole said, innocently, not knowing what would be asked of her. But then she still felt uneasy. 'Why does the handsome man talk about collateral?' Nicole thought while glancing at Roman. She didn't realize she just thought Roman was handsome. Roman, on the other hand, had a slight smirk on his face after he heard her words. While Bryce was still quietly observing, Roman's thoughts were starting to go haywire."Would you like to take a walk with me?" Roman suddenly asked, causing Nicole to jump. Obviously, his question was directed at her. "W-what? Me?" She asked with uncertainty and then turned to look at her father. "What? Are you scared? I don't bite." Roman
"What do you mean this is my home from now on?" Nicole asked back and pushed against Roman, trying to create space between them.A few minutes ago, she wanted his body against hers. A stark contrast to how she felt now. However, Nicole's face was turning red in embarrassment as she watched Roman. "It means what it means, literally." Roman answered with a sheepish look on his face as Nicole marched toward the door. He knew the door was locked.Nicole who was at the door tried to yank it open but she failed to. Realizing that it was locked, she turned to Roman with a look full of horror."Have I become a hostage here? Let me go, please." Nicole pleaded as she was just starting to realize what was going on with her father's presence here. "Well, it's good that you know you're a hostage here but I wouldn't like to call you a hostage. You smell like a dangerous addiction." Roman ended his speech with a totally unrelated sentence, and a sniff of the air.Nicole on the other hand was still
