Nicole paced around the healer's quarters with a worried look on her face. Her skin was pale and her heart shook by the minute. "It's going to be fine, Nicole. You should rest!" Roman said, with a frown on his face. He tried to hold onto her but then she evaded him.She wasn't ready to face him as her mother's words rang in her head. She felt like she was an unfilial daughter. Also, she started to reason if her love for Roman had clouded her. From the onset, she didn't want to think her parents had actually placed her in exchange for their debt. However, they promised to get her back when they were back then. She then started to think if they weren't captured by the Blue Moon Pack, she would have still been her mother's daughter. She would have gone to college and pursued a degree. "Nicole!" Roman yelled, with a livid look. He could read her mind at this point and it wasn't funny to him. "What!" She yelled back, with red eyes."You should rest!" He said, in a calm tone. For a mo
On the other side of the door, Nicole's lips quivered as she watched her parents sitting up, in bed. Her eyes were filled with so much remorse as she observed them. There were different marks and scars on their bodies and she was only able to see them clearly now."Are... Are you okay?" She asked as she stepped toward them, slowly. Her thudded in her chest, not knowing how they would react to her presence.She didn't want them to push her away however, their indifferent gazes were on her. Her question, however, didn't get a reply. By this time, she was beside her mother's bed, and in the next second, she stretched her hand and held onto her mother's hand."I'm sorry! Mum." Nicole said and then burst into tears. Her breath was shaky as she traced the scars on Mrs. Liu's arm. For every scar, she felt a cut through her heart.Slowly, she turned to look at Mr. Liu, "Forgive me, Father!" She said, with a bow of her head. However, he didn't reply to her. He turned to look outside the win
"Are you okay?" Mrs. Liu asked, hiding the blissful expression on her face. Her eyes shone with motherly care and slowly Nicole walked toward her."You look stressed! What did Roman have you do?" She asked, in a low tone as she held onto Nicole.They had been arguing a few minutes ago and now, they looked like a loving mother and child. "No, he hasn't done anything," Nicole said, with her eyes closed. The headache was splitting and it felt like her head was going to blow up. "You will be fine!" Mrs. Liu said and then smiled. She looked at her husband and they exchanged glances.What was going on between the couple? "Mum..." Nicole called out, in a low tone. All of a sudden, different thoughts appeared in her head. Swiftly, the splitting headache disappeared and she opened her eyes. There was a distinct look in her eyes and then she said, "Would you like to live with me, mum, dad?" She asked, looking at her parents with weak eyes. "I'm sorry for being an unfilial daughter! I'll m
"What?" Roman asked, as he froze. Slowly, he stepped away from her, with an astonished look on his face."You heard what I said!" Nicole replied, through gritted teeth. She wasn't ready to back down and that was it.She wanted to have her way and she didn't want to think about anything else. "Take that back!" Roman yelled. He was hurt! Greatly hurt! He never thought he would hear something like that from her. He had gotten into numerous relationships in the past and he never cared about a breakup.However, his relationship with Nicole wasn't just a relationship. To him, it was like a covenant he couldn't break and now she spoke of a breakup, so carelessly."I'm not taking shit back! Set my parents free or we end this relationship! It's like I shouldn't have been here in the first place!" She said and more invisible daggers pierced through his heart.He turned around as he didn't want to look at her face. He then said, "Do you realize you are my Luna? We have taken an oath before the
"What do you want?" She asked, immediately, with an indignant look. On the other hand, Roman was greatly surprised to see her in the bedroom. He was damn sure she had been in the study a while ago."Did you leave the bedroom?" He asked, with a frown on his face, ignoring her question."What do you mean? I never left! You want me to leave now?" She asked, and then crossed her arms. Her eyes shone with defiance and she was ready to refute anything he says."What?! No! I don't want that!" He said and then took a step back. He wanted to see if she was really fine but then he didn't see anything wrong."Maybe I was seeing things!" He said to himself and was about to turn around. He still could sense a different energy coming from her and he wasn't about to have a brawl with her. As he took a step forward, Nicole's voice rang out, "When are you releasing my parents?" Her eyes were filled with so much authority and her tone was fierce. It wasn't like she was asking him to, she was demandi
"What do you mean?" Roman asked, with a frown on his face. His brows were scrunched up, in confusion. Immediately, he moved closer to Nicole and sat beside her.Taking hold of her hand, he could see how pale her skin was and he was filled with worry. "She is being controlled!" Nate said but then his tone was filled with uncertainty. His eyes were narrowed and in the next second, he folded his arms."What do you mean she is being controlled? She has a mind of her own." Roman said but then he wasn't even a hundred percent sure about his words. He had also noticed that she wasn't herself. "Yes! She does but it doesn't seem so." Nate replied. "Can you find out who is controlling her? Or is she feigning it?" Roman asked. He started to think in all directions, not knowing what to do. At his words, Nate sighed and then said, "Unfortunately, no. I can't even find a trace of any unfamiliar energy." He replied. Hearing Nate's words, Roman frowned. He started to wonder how the seer had fou
"Shit!" Roman cussed as Nicole dashed toward him with a crazed expression. Her fingers were lengthened and before long, she was before him.She stretched her hand in a bid to attack him but he was quick to hold onto her. "Ahhh!" She screamed as she tried to get hold of his neck. Her eyes were red and it was like she had been possessed. Her real self was locked deep within her mind."Nicole!" Roman yelled as he held onto her tightly. He used most of his strength to restrain her as she was unimaginably strong. He was trying to bring her back by yelling her name but then it wasn't working."How dare you!" She yelled as she struggled against him. The indignant feeling in her eyes was strong.At this point, Roman knew she was going crazy about something."What are you saying, Nicole?" Roman asked as his grip started to loosen around her. Swiftly, she took hold of the opportunity and dragged herself out of his hold. Their hands struggled and Nicole jumped, with so much force. She toppl
Nicole opened her eyes with a start and she felt a stabbing pain in the back of her head. Her eyes were as clear as day but then her head was in a mushy state.She couldn't remember what had happened the night before. The rays of the morning sun shone through the windows, as Nicole continued to reel on what had happened. A few seconds later, the scenes of last night started to flood in her head. Her eyes widened in shock as she remembered what she had done.Immediately, she shot up to her feet as her heart thudded in her chest.Last night, while Roman was in the study after Nate left, Nicole had gone to see her parents. There she found her mother bleeding from her stomach. Without thinking twice, she had rushed back to the room to look for Roman, however, he wasn't there. She was livid and it felt like she was going to kill Roman. She was overwhelmed by an emotion she didn't recognize. "Roman!" Nicole yelled, with fear in her eyes as she dashed into the bathroom to look for him
