>>AdamThe realization of what I had done just wasn’t sitting in. I had completely forgotten about my own bleeding eye and I placed my blood stained hand over my mouth. My heart was beating like crazy while the adrenaline in my blood refused to calm down.I felt something in my mind crack and break.I wonder if that was my sanity?I was feeling so much at the moment I could place it on one thing.Was it fear?Loss?Anguish?Sorrow?Misery?Distress?Anxiety?Agony?What? I had no idea. It felt like I was feeling it all at once.Suddenly I remembered something and shot my head towards the kids. They weren’t there. My eyes searched frantically for them but I couldn’t spot them.“I sent them back.” I looked at my mate, “Before it got out of hand they were gone.” She walked to me and I backed away in fear. What I was afraid of, I had no idea. Maybe it was myself. “It’s okay.” She told me and took another step towards me.“What have I done?” My voice trembled, “W-what have I…” My head spun
>>AdamIt had rained in my world the day I decided to visit Esra. The grass was wet and drops of water still dripped from the tree leaves.I asked the Dryad to open the portal and I walked in. The same patch of land where the portal opened on the other side was wet too while the rest of the ground was dry. Perhaps that was because two worlds shared that space.I was expecting a calm forest but there was a rather frightening scene there. I could hear the trees wailing, the ground was shaking and the creatures of the forest were terrified. Then suddenly it stopped.I had no idea what that was but it was a bit nerve wracking. Still, I decided to walk ahead and just a small walk ahead were the fairies who sat around a baby.A baby?I ran to him and saw a few days old baby wrapped in a blanket with white hair.White hair? Just like Esra’s.I stared at him in awe.He was my son. Yohan. A name we both decided on.My son…My son.It was a strange feeling but the moment I had him in my arms I
>>Adam (Present)“Dad.” Yohan spoke, “Aren’t you going to say anything? You said you were going to give us an explanation after lunch but all you’ve done is stare out the window for the past hour.” I looked at Yohan, his eyes showed fury while Ruda’s showed fear. I looked at my wife, Alina, who had joined us just a few minutes ago.I sighed, “I don’t have an explanation.” I sat up straight, “What excuse could there be for muder?” I asked, “I’ll admit to my crimes.” There was no point in telling them my story. It was better for them to not know. It’ll be easier for them to hate me, blame me and for the things I have involved myself in to end with me.They both looked exasperated, “What about Maya?” Yohan looked at the table with some of the food there gone. I smiled, even though they both didn’t have an appetite they ate well, “Why did you try to kill her?” Of course he’s furious about that. Guess I can explain that.“Well, I didn’t try to kill her.” I said, “I wanted to but I changed
>>Yohan“You saw something.” Ruda grabbed my arm, “I noticed the magic item in your hand,” He stared at me intensely, with so much desperation in his eyes I couldn't look away “What did you see?” His grip on my arm was tight.“I- I’m not sure if you’ll be pleased to see that.” I’m not sure what to feel after seeing this either. This changes so much yet it doesn’t. I didn’t expect this when I brought the item to look into memories. I didn’t expect something so- cruel?It reminded me of how soft dad has been with us. He made sure not to even stumble close to what his father did to him.Seeing his memories gave me feelings I didn’t know how to handle.“I want to!” Ruda whisper-yelled at me and I knew he was desperate, I could tell from his voice, “Tell me. I need to know.”I looked at him and then at Chloe who was almost done stacking the dishes and was going to take them to the kitchen.Chloe…It’s the same Chloe from dad’s past. Same chestnut colored hair, same blue eyes. She stayed by
>>MayaI came out of the bathroom from a puking session and saw Quincy standing there with a worried expression. When I looked at him and his wavering eyes, I realized something.“You already knew didn’t you?” He nodded, “Did you know all along?”‘I knew that this would happen to the person involved, It was either Yohan or his mate but it completely slipped my mind for a while. It only hit me later when Yohan was hospitalised and you were ready to give him your all.” ““Say, did you take us in because you knew I was Yohan’s mate?” He shook his head, “There was no way I could have known, only a werewolf knows who their mate is. It was a pure coincidence.”“Feels more like destiny now.” I sighed. I was a bit exhausted.“...” He didn’t reply, I guess he was feeling bad. It wasn’t his fault though. I don’t know who to blame for this really.“Did you tell Nena?” He shook his head, “Don’t then. I’d like to spend some quality time with her.”“Okay…”I was walking away when I stopped and loo
>>Maya“Maya?” Yohan helped me out of the car, “Have you lost weight?” We had just come back from Quincy’s house and it was around 11 in the morning.“I have?” I played ignorant.He seemed worried, “Yeah. You seem a lot lighter.” He stared at me, “And thinner.” I just smiled in return.“I guess I’m getting an ideal woman’s body.” I fiddled with my thumbs and he stared at me with a weird expression.Was he catching onto something?“I-” He wasn’t sure what to say so he stepped closer and picked me up suddenly.“Yohan?!” His actions surprised me, “Yohan, we’re still outside!” I tried getting out of his embrace but he held onto me.“Maya. You’re hiding something from me aren’t you?”“What? Let me down first! We’ll talk inside.” He stared at me, “Yohan people are staring.” He glanced at the bystanders and I took the advantage of that distraction and managed to get down. Then I ran inside without wasting any time and went to my room upstairs.Yohan was outside my room in a few minutes and h
>>MayaAt breakfast Yohan told me that Ruda would be coming over for dinner and I asked if I could call Nena over too. I felt like having a small get together with my beloved people. He agreed and we decided to have a small pizza party at dinner.I was expecting him to talk about me and what I was hiding but he didn’t and quietly went to work.I guess that works for me.I still have no idea what to tell him or how to tell him.As he left I dropped my fork on the shelf and looked at the barely eaten pancakes.I’ve lost so much appetite. It’s hard to eat.I took a deep breath and picked up the fork again.Still, I have to try. I’ve lost weight so fast that even Yohan noticed it. I licked my lips in worry.The anxiety in my chest grew and I blankly stared at the wall while I felt like crying.Fate really is cruel. As time is nearing it’s getting depressing.I smiled sarcastically as a tear slipped down my cheek. I didn’t get the time to cry properly because I suddenly felt sick and had
>>Yohan“I’m so sorry.” Mom came closer to me, her trembling hands reached my knees while I sat on the grass in despair.“It’s because she accepted that she's going to die?” I looked back at her with eyes full of tears, “What kind of a curse did you even-” I almost choked on my saliva as I tried talking while trying to hold my tears, “What even-?!” I couldn’t form the words as my vision blurred due to the unshed liquid.“I’m so sorry Yohan.” She reached out for my hands and held them softly. I noticed her hands were very thin and pale and more than that they were trembling like crazy. I looked at her, I couldn’t take it anymore and tears fell down my cheeks. I noticed hers had already wet her face, “I have no other words.” Her voice was shaking, “But to ask for forgiveness. It was all my fault.” I could sense the guilt and sorrow laminating her voice, “I was wrong.” Her green eyes that were just like mine wouldn’t stop spilling and same was the case with me. My tears could no longer b
