Monique could hear her sister and her mate laughing on something. The fact that they were very much different from each other… with an uncanny similarities. The lights are off and the lamps were dim. It’s to keep the light off from the above. “I can’t sleep now.” Caleb said as he yawned and sat beside her. “Let’s go outside and search for her.” “You found her.” Monique said as she flipped the book. “I did. And she left…” “Bella said that she’ll come back for more ice cream.” “Is she old enough to be my wife?” Caleb asked. “I want peace and silence.” Monique whispered as Caleb sighed. “But tell me…” He pouted. Monique frowned as she closed the book with a slam. “Just sleep, Caleb. She’ll come back.” “I can only sleep with her, with me.” He explained as Monique stood and patted his head. “Just wait for her here. I want a break from your chatter.” She said as she went to her room that was provided for her and Ciel. She took out two pillows and pushed it to Ciel’s chest. He hol
Paxton reached his head when there’s a lot of commotion from the King’s relatives. Princess Olivia was sitting on the other side, as she seemed to be holding herself from bursting in anger. “Your highness,” he called. “You have the highest position among all of them.” He understood that she can be a little submissive toward her mate. “Your brothers need your help.” Olivia hold her hands together. It was shaking. “Tell me that they are alive. That way, I wouldn’t have to worry.” “They are well… somewhere. Just tell me what I can do to assist you?” “You do your job as always, Paxton.” Olivia stood. She looked pale and something must be going on. She already might know who was behind all of it. And he’s right… the mastermind is within the family.“Chase off those darn vampires!” He finally stood as he went out. “They are guests!” He shouted. “Do not dare touch them.” He growled as Duke Stiles glared at him. “You are just a darn, assistant.” “You knew well that my position and y
Cedric crossed his arms as he shrugged. The woman don’t speak. He don’t know the reason why and it wasn’t a good time to ask why she don’t speak. But they stayed at Paxton’s room and watched the lady expertly and gracefully pin the needles on his body. “Is she a doctor?” Cedric asked the doctor who nodded. “She’s a resident, expertise in herbs and pseudoscience. She’s a genius in class as well.” “I see.” Cedric nodded as he looked at Lavinia watched the woman do that. She set a timer and stand straight. She remain her head down and she kept glancing at Paxton’s body. Since the guy was so busy, he probably couldn’t get laid since he don’t look much at ladies. He was minding his business and focus on what’s important to him. Perhaps, this lady can stay. “The lady can stay.” Cedric said. “I think we need her more to keep the Duke calm.” The doctor hesitate to leave. “Before you go, we need her name.” Cedric said as the doctor pressed his lips and force to smile. “Her name is Wint
Hungry. Bella was monstrous when she’s hungry and Paxton make sure that everything were on the table. Cedric cooked breakfast and Lavinia was helping while Bella had a big appetite. “You need to eat as well.” Bella said and kicked the chair toward him, she’s herself and she’s a gangster. He swore that he got goosebumps a while ago when she scolded the King. “Yeah, sure.” Paxton sat down as he looked at Lavinia. “The nurse… did she had her breakfast?” “She asked if she could eat in her room and I deliver it a while ago.” Lavinia answered, while flipping the bacons. “I see.” Paxton said as Bella was busy nibbling on her bacon. “But isn’t she a doll?” Bella asked. “Paxton, you are so lucky to have such beauty. So, King Dominick is giving you two weeks break from work.” Dominick groaned as he glared at Bella. She then gently reached his face. “Hey, look at Paxton. He’s stressed. He need a break. By the way, what’s the name of the doctor that attended you? You need to take a nurse w
She should be in the kitchen. She should be sleeping. But then she wanted her sister to have a safe food in the castle. They should have stayed Bella’s house. It was safer and she had a lot of stocks. She don’t know how much money Bella had but all of the family asset will surely be hers. Monique watched as the maids helped her. Although she insisted that she don’t need help, they still would. Her mate don’t want her to do these things known as chores. But it wasn’t chores for her. She know how to do simple tasks and she enjoyed it. She remembered that her mother and grandparents would always cook food all together. She would join as well and the best thing was enjoying their company. She noticed that one of the maids poured something on one of the soups. She then watched from her peripheral vision and she could smell it as well. She’s half wolf and half vampire. She didn’t bother interrupting her but she knew well how she did it. “Deliver that to Duke Paxton’s room. He and her ma
He would leave me… Winter thought worst already. This is the reason why she told him that she’s not good enough to his mate. He’s a Duke and he can’t marry someone disable with a severed tongue. She covered her face as she started sobbing. Her mate was there in front of her frozen, unable to respond but after a few seconds, he pulled her wrists. “Who did it?” He asked. “Tell me who did?” His eyes were murderous… more dangerous than what she saw. “Write it.” He said as he quickly search for pen and paper. She sobbed and he wanted to throw everything in anger. It was cut? Fuck it. All he could see is red. He wanted to kill someone. He wanted to torture the person who did it to her. He didn’t realized that Bella entered when they didn’t hear the knocking. “Paxton! Did you made her cry?” Bella exclaimed as she quickly approached Winter. “Are you alright?” She asked. “Did he hurt you?” She shook her head as she rubbed her chest. Bella stood straight as she looked at Paxton. He might h
Paxton hesitate to leave the castle. But after his mate was nearly killed, he can’t stay here with a weak body. He place the documents over the table and Ciel was checking everything. Then, he looked at the location where Caleb pointed as Monique finally enter. “There’s something in there…” Paxton said. They all looked at where he’s pointing. “Cedric said that only Daniel’s could open it.” “Our blood?” Monique asked as she crossed her arms and scooped her chin. “I think Grandpa mention about that. It said that it’s their investigations through the people who committed treason in the castle. I think even a member of royal family was involved.” Paxton’s eyes widened as he frowned. He found out that even his family might be involved. But whatever mistake that they did, it’s still a treason. He was both anxious as Monique shook her head. “I won’t open it.” She said. “Bella could. I don’t have the blood of Daniels anymore.” “But it seems that you know what’s in there.” Ciel crossed
Paxton didn’t let her have a chance to get her things from her residence. He had someone drive them directly to the airport. She couldn’t retaliate since she’s mute. She couldn’t say a thing at all. Winter understood that Paxton had a lot of things in his mind. He didn’t open up anything. In the airport, a private jet was waiting for them and she sat across in one of the luxury seats. He stopped from overthinking as he smiled at her and reached her hand. “What would you like to eat? How about champagne?” She only stared into his eyes. “Let’s have something to eat then.” He said as the attendant approached him. “How about sushi?” He asked. She shook her head. “Burgers?” She smiled and nodded. “We’ll have burgers.” “Yes, sir.” The attendant nodded. He moved closer and took both of her hands as he kissed both. “I know it is too sudden. But I can’t let you go. I found you finally and it’ll be hard for me if you are so far…” She only smile at him. “It’ll be two hours flight.” He
