>> Portia
Fascinating as it was magical, it seemed the creatures of the forest lived inside the humongous tree houses. I couldn’t tell if they were built like this or if they were a part of the tree since it looked as if the houses emerged from within them, they were so closely connected but then again seeing how nicely furnished they were they couldn’t have been just a part of the tree, work was definitely done on it by architects and workers.
It was all just so magical, especially since the houses looked so great. Bricks, wood, cement, everything was used in making it, yet it fits in with the forest so perfectly.
I wish I could see the insides! I really want to! I glanced at Harou who was keenly observing our surroundings as well. Egon still had his arm around hi
>>PortiaAll eyes were on Harou.So, this is what he meant by doing risky stuff.“Yea, I met him.” Harou glanced at Egon, “I had things I wanted to confirm.” And both Egon and Ulrich got distracted.Egon ignored what Harou said and came over to cover me, “Portia, stay behind.”“Scared I’d kill her too?” Miers smirked, “Like I killed your first mate?” He nodded playfully, “Liza,” Egon got furious, and his lycan begged to come out and rip the enemy apart.Wait… First mate? There was someone before me?
>>PortiaA big fight was about to break out when I yelled, “STOP!” And all of the men quiet down.I clenched my fists. There was a frown on my face, but my eyes were on the enemy, “He’s gone.”The anger left everyone’s expressions, followed by slight surprise and then silence. They turned to look at Miers’ lifeless body. His eyes were slightly open with no sign of life left in them.We all stared at him for a few moments, unsure about what to do now. Were we supposed to do something about the body?I looked at the men, they all had a frown on their faces.“Do
>>Portia“I’m home,” I whispered as I entered Jena’s house, then paused, “Right…” The lights were off and I knew why. Jena must be in the club.I sighed.I should tell her that I’m back home so she doesn’t need to go to the penthouse. I got my phone and texted her exactly that then took a deep breath.I was still feeling queasy.I went to my bedroom and lay down on the bed with my face buried in the pillows. I wasn’t expecting this to take such a turn. After Miers's death, I should have been able to freely be with my mate but this took such a bad and sudden turn.
Egon had only his mother as a parental figure who was mostly absent because of the war that started when he was eight. His father had lost his life early when Egon was only two. But as the good child he was, he was patient because he believed that his mother would not abandon him and at the end of the day she would come back to him since wolves are loyal creatures, they never leave their own behind.But fate on the other hand is not as kind.It takes away thing the most precious of things and priceless of people away. And just like that came a day when Egon’s mother didn’t make it home even though like any other day he waited for her by the door.Hours turned into days, anxiety turned into fear, but there was no sign of her returning even when the other soldiers who left with
>>Portia“Look,” Ulrich sighed, “The thing is, Egon wasn’t raised properly, I mean, how kids should be raised. He was raised to be a soldier and I know he sucks at conveying his emotions and all but I assure you,” He smiled at me, “He does try his best.”I looked down and pondered upon his words.If the prince hadn’t shared this all me, I don’t think I would have ever been able to tell that he held these feelings inside of him because, on the surface, they both get along so well! But I see now that Ulrich is also the one who knows Egon the best, and he bared that side of his, for me and his best friend.“You think,” I started speaking, “We
>>JenaThe hope in his eyes made me panic. What was I supposed to do with that? It was overwhelming for me! I didn’t stop him on purpose! It just happened!!“You never gave me an answer,” I asked the first thing that came into my mind.“Yes?” He seemed a little confused.“You’re royalty?” I previously said I didn’t care but here I am.Portia let go of my hand and stepped back and I knew she knew everything and was feeling guilty.His facial expression turned from confusion to shock, “Um,” Now there wasn’t any reason for h
>>UlrichI went back to the penthouse feeling more drained that a month-old grape. I don’t think it could have gone any worse. I knew humans wouldn’t take it well and yet I showed my form to her.We’re more terrifying than werewolves… from a human’s point of view that is. But what else could have I done?! She would have shunned me if I hadn’t!I dropped on the three-seater couch face down and drowned in my misery.This sucks!If I hadn’t proved my identity to her she would have hated me more and never would have let me near her, on the other hand now that I have, I feel like the outcome still didn’t change thou
>>PortiaI feel sort of tense. I don’t know what it is, but I’m feeling anxious. Maybe it’s because of Jena. I saw that she looked upset when she left the house. Could it be? She didn’t take a liking to Ulrich at all?I was coming back from the market in the afternoon, and I planned on making dinner tonightShe came home late yesterday night too and she constantly looks troubled. I’m sure part of it must be because of Ulrich and finding out about wolves but she hasn’t asked me anything more.Should I say anything to her? But I don’t know what’s bothering her. Should I ask?“Her! That’s her,” I heard someone’s faded voice from a distance.
