The first dance finished, and we both took a bow. Athena turns away without another glance, and my eyes move to where Ivy is supposed to be standing.She is gone. I search around, mind-linking Ruby, Kane, and Leona, but they have no idea where she is.Damn it. Why can't you just listen?There are too many eyes watching for me to make a move, but I need to find her. Fast."Now for the toast." I am handed a glass of red wine, and everyone makes a toast to the hunt.The wine barely touched my lips when I froze, a sudden wave of breathlessness washing over me. The fragile glass cup gave out under my hold, and I am hit with a foreboding."Emiliano." The queen's voice lingers on the edge of my mind, and all I can think is that something is wrong with Ivy.From what I felt just now, I can tell it is dire. If not, it wouldn't be transmitted over to me with the already half-broken mate bond.Following the thin scent she gives off, I arrive at the Moon Lake, and she is lying on the ground, dren

I stayed in the hospital for one week more because of an unexpected accident, the relapse of the blue rose illness. Fortunately, the doctor couldn't find the reason and passed it as an eye fever. I don't know why, but I'm scared of letting anyone know. I dread it. Ever since I returned, I haven't been feeling well. I find it hard to sleep and feel dizzy all the time. I guess my time is slowly closing in. Ten days, or maybe less. I really don't remember where I lost count. I feel anxious about it, and at the same time there is also a feeling of relief. Maybe not knowing makes it feels a lot less dreadful. Still I could never foretell what happened in the third day after my return. Why hasn't he left yet? "So this is where you've been hiding." He has a smile on his face, which firmly had my feet rooted to the ground. It is just me and him in the large room. Ruby left to give us some privacy on his request. Something I'd very much prefer not. I opened and closed my mouth, un

"Ivy!!" I hear Ruby call again. She is close. "I—. Can i—." "Find somewhere to hide first." Athena says calmly. Without any hesitation, I quickly go behind a thick bushes of flowers. Sitting on the dirt and hugging my knees to my chest. The constant wave of pain in my abdomen made my scalp tingle, and I bit down on my bottom lips to tone down the whimpers threatening to spill while hoping that the flowers are enough to mask my scent. Ruby soon arrives at where we are, and my heart beat quickens as her voice reaches my ear. "Athena? What are doing here?" "The queen already gave me permission to visit the palace anytime I want. The garden included." Athena replies dryly. "This princess doesn't have the time to waste on you." Ruby says flinty. Then her tone became serious. "Have you seen Ivy?" "Who?' "Emilliano's mate." Ruby's voiced, full of scorn. "Don't tell me you don't know her." "I haven't seen her." "You haven't seen her?" Ruby asks once more and there is silence fo

Sleepy. All I want to do is just sleep.But—"No more sleep. You have been sleeping too much lately." Emilliano grabs on my shoulder, shaking me awake.Feeling uneasy, I push his hands away. Avoiding his eyes while muttering. "isn't it because I have nothing to do?""You can go to the pack training groun—""I don't want to go." I shake my head. "What about i take you on a walk." Emilliano suggests again. Which is even worse since I am trying to avoid him. So I quickly refuse. "No."He stares fixedly at me for some seconds, before asking. "Then what do you want to do? Except for sleeping."At first nothing comes to mind, but then I remember what I wanted to do before the hunt. "I want to go outside—to the city." I say, glancing out of my lashes to gauge his expression. "Ruby promised to take me out before."He takes a while for nodding. "I will come with you.""No. No need." I cringe at the reflex answer. Not wanting to sound like I don't want him to come, which I really do. So i imp

So the outing consists of Ruby, Athena, Darius and Royce, all of them looking tall and matured with me squashed in the middle wearing a big white coat and looking like a fifteen year old child.Everyone is just so tall except for me!! Once again I can't help but envy the werewolf gene which fully avoided me.So unfair!!It took more than an hour before we arrived at the amusement park. And we had to use our finger prints for entrance.Something I have only seen in the movies before. So cool!!Ruby and Darius sat down at a side to plan the rides we will be taking. Which is more of fighting and snaring at each other with the poor planner paper thoroughly squeezed from both of their assault.I look at Royce who has the expression 'i do not know those people.' on his face, and decided to do the same.Athena standing next to me has a frown on her face while she looks around."See, there is an ice cream stall over there." I point at a stall which is oozing a delicious scent the whole surro

"What are you planning on doing?" Ruby questions with narrowed eyes."I saw some game booths earlier. We can do that first." Athena answers without a change in expression.The two of them does a stare off and just when I thought it wouldn't end, Ruby stands up, dusting her black pants. "Lead the way."I let out a sigh in relief, Darius and Royce also mirroring my expression.Thankfully the first booth we chose didn't shut down, nor have any technical issue.The booth has some people waiting but they aren't that many. The owner has a short height, a round figure, and a black curly moustache under his nose.At the side, there are different sizes fluffy toys which are prizes for winning. The game is pretty simple. There are a row of different color balloon tied up quite a distance away from the player , and you are given a dart to pop as much as you can."Want to go first?" Darius looks down at me and I shake my head, thoroughly discouraged. There is no way I am hitting any one of thos

I keep walking without looking back, until he unfortunately catches up with me."Little kid. Hey little kid."Little kid? I blink in disbelief. Is he referring to me?"Hey kid. Are you lost?" In the moment of shock, and disbelief, he is already standing in front of me.The man was wearing a handless t-shirt, despite the cold, and a blue jeans trouser. His dark black hair are tossed around wildly, and his sharp chin as small, bits of stubble on them.Why, why would he think I am a kid?"Do you need any help in finding your parents, I can take you—""I am not lost. And I am not a kid!!" I breath out in annoyance."You are—""I am going nineteen." I huff."Hah—" it is now his turn to wallow in disbelief. "You really are nineteen? You are so short, aren't you fifteen or something?"Fifteen. Fifteen? The audacity?"I am nineteen, and an adult." I try to explain."Okay. I am sorry ma'am. I apologize ma'am." He says sincerely managing to pacify half of my annoyance.In what way do I look f

He didn't say anything.Just takes my hand as we walk to reunite with the rest.I glance at him from the corner of my eyes, unable to read the expression on his face.Seeing the group of people who I had thoughtlessly abandoned from afar, I can't help but feel guilty."I am sorry." I say sincerely, eyes trailing on my feet.I really wasn't thinking when I agreed to follow Tom to the drop zone. Or while I even left them behind in the first place."It's okay. As long as you are fine." Ruby embraces me just the way Emilliano had done earlier. Even patting on my hair gently. "Just don't—dont do that again, ever, okay?"Don't do It again—"Okay?" Ruby looks down, staring deep into my eyes and for a moment I fear she would see the secrets I keep.How can I not leave? My head buzz's, still I force a nod, spitting out the words. "Okay."I glance to the side, and my gaze meet with Athena's. The complicated expression on her eyes spoke in volumes to me.Especially when I know why.But I really
