“Thanks!” Lexy smiled gently. She was glad Ethan did not disappoint her. Then she tried to get up and sit on the couch while her eyes were checking the place for her clothes. “I’ll get dressed, and let’s go. You must be tired. You get back to retire for the day as well. I myself really want to give in to the relaxing feeling of your place, but I worry about mom and dad… If only they’re well as they used to be….” Lexy mumbled as she reached for her undergarments on the side of the couch, she was sitting on. Ethan helped Lexy get dressed. Lexy found her brassier while Ethan found her panties. She put on the one she saw, and Ethan assisted her in pulling her panties up her legs. Then Ethan suddenly paused with his hands just midways her thighs and her panties on his hold. Lexy looked at his face and waited for what he was about to say, with her eyes blinking in anticipation of whatever was he going to say to make her panties stop halfway to their destination.“But…” Ethan gazed at Le
Ethan realized being with Lexy. He was in his limited access to keep her safe if he could not transform into his supernatural ability. This thought had never occurred to him when he asked his men and allies to comply with his orders and wishes. And Ethan felt a dreading fear from within him. He was not sure of what was to come their way tonight, but the mere fact that Lexy was right beside him, and he was not willing to leave her sight even for a single second, already sent shivers of fright to the very depth of his being, human and lycan. "The main task right now is to bring her safely to her home where she is well protected. Then we can deal with whoever or whatever is after us," Ethan said to Aldric as we walked his way to his side of the car. Aldric affirmed he had his eyes in the dark to avoid surprise attacks on them. It felt weird and indescribable. If there is a thing of what others may call as the dreaded dark hours, Aldric felt like they were having one at that very moment
Lexy was still unconscious. Ethan was drifting on and off. While Ethan was being dragged, he saw Lexy was carried on a Lycan's shoulder with her arms and head hanging and lifelessly swaying as they walked around. If Lexy fainted sooner, Ethan might have been able to transform and let Aldric fight for them. But the fear of Lexy seeing him as a beast, just like those that attacked them brought fear to Ethan and Aldric. Now they were regretful. They thought it would have been better to secure their safety first and flee from their enemy. Now that they were captured, how are they going to keep hiding his supernatural identity when they might not even have another day of a chance to come clean and confess everything to their girl and mate?!It was as if the heavens turned its eyes away from Aldric, Ethan, and Lexy for a moment to go through the dark hours of their lives. Ethan's body was supposed to heal fast with his supernatural ability, but no matter how hard Aldric concentrates on his
Shocked, shaken, and helpless, Lexy froze in her spot, right in the middle of the distance between Aldric and the other lycans. She felt like she was trapped, and it seemed like her brain had turned numb; she couldn’t think of anything to do in her situation. She was confused. The fear she felt earlier was not even for herself. She was afraid Ethan would be harmed by the beasts again when Lexy heard the footsteps getting closer and trying to get into the cabin where they were in. She was ready to defend Ethan with everything she got thinking the man was in danger. But when he looked like one of the beasts that were now standing next to the door after breaking in, Lexy did not know who was her enemy and anyone any longer. She knew deep in her mind that she should stay focused to survive, but her fear subdued her greatly, and Lexy dropped unconscious to the floor. When Aldric saw his mate’s face filled with horror and confusion, his fear of Lexy seeing him in this form was confirmed
While Lexy was in the land of the undead, reuniting with her parents to get some enlightenment on what she was going through. Ethan arrived at the Roberts residence, and Freya came out to receive them by the gates. "How is she?" Asked the lady doctor."She fainted when she saw me turn," Ethan said worriedly. "She must have freaked out to realize I was the same kind to those that attacked us," he added in a defeated voice. "Give it some time and let her grasp an understanding of everything she just went through tonight," Doctor Freya kindly advised. "Come this way. I'll help you settle her on the bed," the lady added, walking ahead to lead Ethan where to go. They arrived at Lexy's room. Ethan placed her gently on the bed and stared a good few minutes before he sighed and spoke softly. "I better leave before she wakes up and see me. She might not want to see even my shadows right at the moment, but please let me know when she wakes up," Ethan mumbled softly as he told Doctor Freya o
"It wouldn't have been any different whatever way you came to show her," the Moon Goddess answered. "You should know by now how much I have favored you on many things to fail you with your mate. You are my child; no mother will ever want their children sad or lonely, so you have to trust me, okay?"Ethan made a mental note to ask Aldric about this topic later because no matter how the human tried to butt in his mind, Aldric had his walls up and rejected any interruptions from Ethan as he spoke with the Moon Goddess. In Aldric's thoughts, Ethan will always be around, but the Moon Goddess won't. They were greatly favored enough to speak with her and inquire about this and that while she was around. But most of all, Aldric was longing to have the woman who kept him in her womb until she found the right couple to send his human form into the world. Of course, in human understanding, it was impossible. Although there are what others already know about surrogacy. Ethan and Aldric were not
“Do you want to talk about it?” Marlyn asked Lexy.“About what?” Lexy answered.“About whatever it is that has been bothering you,” Marlyn answered hurriedly. “I know you too well not to notice you’re troubled, babe….” Lexy closed her eyes and everything that had happened last night when she was with Ethan on their way to her home flashed back in her mind. She had been having the same thoughts ever since she woke up on her bed after she fainted in that cabin where she saw Ethan turned into a furry and scary-looking creature. “Funny!” she murmured. “Sorry, what?” Marlyn asked in disbelief. Just a while ago, his best friend looked like a beauty in distress, but she suddenly smiled weakly and said a word Marlyn had never expected to slip out of Lexy’s mouth. She looked too sad to say the word “funny” after all!Lexy was scolding herself for how her mind described Ethan. Her thoughts seemed to avoid describing Ethan as a beast, using more favoring words such as a furry and scary-looki
“I didn’t know you have superpowers, babe,” Marlyn chuckled as he ran to catch on with Lexy walking away. “What a surprise!” Lexy sneered. “I was hoping you could tell me,” she glared at a laughing Marlyn. “Who was there?” he asked, still smiling. Marlyn wasn’t really bothered if his joke would turn real or not. He was amazed to hear she could recognize people from that far. But what Lexy said made him forget about his question. “Have you heard about crazy things like people with unbelievable abilities?” She asked with an earnest tone. But Lexy did not stop or walk slowly in her tracks. “You mean…” Marlyn raised his eyebrows and whispered. “Like… superpowers?”Lexy chuckled, but she also stopped abruptly. “Like anything the Marvels studio creates,” she frowned as her words registered her understanding, feeling sillier as she spoke. “Anything, vampires maybe, or werewolves, like that…?” Lexy did not want to meet gazes with Marlyn as she asked. She was worried her face would tell
