"Oh my god!" Selena heard Alex behind her and when she turned, she realized he must have had a nightmare as well."Coincidence? Bad dream?" She asked, still terrified of what she had just seen."I don't know. I think mine was just as a result of the war I fought. No worries." He crawled closer and gave her cheek a soft kiss that was very reassuring."Are you sure? I mean, don't you think we are in trouble?""What do you mean?"Right. She can't blame him, can she? He may not even be aware of what is going on."I had a dream where I think I'm in hell." For a split second, Alex looked shocked but maybe she just hoped he is shocked so she wouldn't feel like she is in the dark again."Yeah, I know you may think I'm crazy but I saw the devil. He mentioned something about finding...looking for something like...it is a glass ball." Much as she tried to explain, her memories of the dream kept fading.Alex sighed and pulled her in for an embrace."I understand how scary it might be for you. Pro
Selena could feel a burning sensation coursing through her veins as Alex kept touching her. Every inch of his finger on her skin was like fire burning her and at the same time making her thirst for more. He stopped kissing her and looked into her eyes which made her melt within the more. The blue gaze looked like a rush of volcano washing through her.Alex kissed her ear, the nape of her neck, and the hollow of her throat, causing her to release a throaty groan. His strong hands brought her body close to his. One of the hands slowly slid her robe down her shoulders before moving over her throat, her shoulder, her collarbone. His mouth increased its ardent pressure as his fingers spread and his breathing suddenly became ragged as he arched her body and somehow found the soft rise of her breast with his hand. She gasped and threw her head back.His mouth found hers again and it moved tenderly on her trembling lips, demanding, in a silence bursting with sensations and promise.She clung
"I don't know, Bagdana but I think we are in a bigger mess than we thought," Alex confessed as he sat at the table opposite his now demon aide who was holding a glass of brandy."What are you saying, Your Highness?""I thought Selena could be protected. I thought there were ways she could stay away from all these demonic craziness."Bagdana sipped the drink slowly."I didn't promise she won't get involved. In times like this, she will eventually be let in on whatever has been going on. You know we need her for the orb.""But she is going to need proof and whatever to explain to her. Like, you know, the Galaxus or the orb."Alex was feeling uneasy, especially after the dream he's had the previous night which he suspected Selena must have had the same dream. Didn't she mention the devil and also being in hell? Damn! A few days from now and he'll be having to explain why he didn't tell her the truth."I don't know how she is going to take it.""You can always try.""Try doing what? Telli
CHERShe sprayed the long wavy brown hair wig she now wore before looking at her looks in the mirror for the last time. She looked good, better in fact. It was now a month since she left Forester and with each day that passed, forgetting her relationship with the Alpha of the pack seemed impossible.Dabbing her lips with the red lips gloss, she furiously grabbed the key to her power bike and her helmet to go for her new operation that night. This is how she had been surviving living in New York comfortably. Dressing up as a prostitute sometimes to swindle rich politicians, or gearing up to rob the highway and banks. Either way, she was a cleaner in the town library during the day but a robber at night.Slipping her head into the black helmet, she mounted the supersonic 500km/h bike and revved up the engine. She was wearing a body hug black jacket, black gloves, boots, and pants. The typical appearance of a robber, exc
CHERLike a wind, Alex stood up from his seat suddenly, taking a quick glance at the people now scrambling about on the floor with some busy calling the Police with their phones. Although he felt sorry for their loss, he couldn't quit chasing this woman now.He exited through the back of the building and from afar, he could see her starting up the bike. He looked around restlessly and when he couldn't see another bike, he started running. When he was getting tired as he turned to the busy road, he saw a police bike just by the roadside, and before thinking twice, he mounted it, ignited the engine, and tailed behind the black power bike. It is now or never.As he accelerated, with the wind biting his skin, he let different questions roam his head as to why she now looked different. Had she truly regained her memory and so went back to stealing? Had Selena been right about her? What was she doing here?He could s
"Those look good," Selena commented about the woven mat that an old woman presented to her. It melted her heart to see how the people accepted her as their Queen.Since Alex left Forester, it had become her responsibility to check on the people. The aged and the kids. Visiting them with lots of gifts and showering them with caring words. At least, she felt they needed that after the effect of the war. None of them have been able to cross the bridge to the forest to hunt for fear of being attacked.As she dropped the woven mat, she gestured towards one of the maids that followed her to bring in a basket full of freshly hunted meat."This is the least we can do to make you feel better. Don't worry, we will try our best to see that our enemies surrender." She patted the old woman's shoulders and rose to leave."Bless you, Queen Selena."As she moved outside, she thought of where else to go. She j
KREPEIt was not until that evening, a few days after the Hyena's attack on Forester, that Krepe decided to visit a wounded Ethan at the healer's cottage. It was a small cottage at the edge of the town. He'd gone there as a way to ward off his anger and Ethan is his nephew. So, laying him off because he made a mistake would just be stupid. He would meet him to devise a new plan that will be better than before. He could remember that night, as Ethan staggered into the room, his coat filled with blood, barely holding on to life. He'd sent for the healers immediately, part of him boiling with anger that his well-put plan had failed.He entered the room and saw his shirtless nephew sitting on the bed, still looking sick but better than before."I'd been waiting for you." He started to say. "The King won't mind having drinks with him at his place to celebrate our wins." Krepe laughed. "I'm sure the only liqui
The sun rose high in the sky as it is a Monday morning. Checking his wristwatch, Alex saw it was 7:00am. He wondered what kind of work Cher must be doing to have warranted her waking up so early but then he had needed someone who knows the way around the city, so he has no choice but to adapt to it.He pressed the doorbell to the moderately classed building that sat in the middle of a well-to-do street and a newly dressed Cher opened it, inviting him in. He looked around with a grimace. "Nicely painted walls, no cracks in the paint, a decent car worth thousands of dollars, and a nice interior design. To min for a decent job in this part of the world.""Oh, darn." She muttered, following his eyes to the black bag that contained jewelries. The ones she stole at the hotel. "I'll bet I was so stupid enough to clear this place. The police could have walked in and seen this.""Well, I hear New York prison is a good place to be
