What is essential is invisible to the eye.
✾
When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was white.
I lift myself up with my elbow slightly. Looking around, my eyes automatically squint from the brightness of everything. I was in a room that had nothing but a few brown filing cabinets, the red velvet chaise I was lying on, and a brown leather egg chair with a small tea table beside it. Looking closely, I notice some papers and a few folders plus a lone black pen on it. Groaning, I lie flat on my back again, and the brightness was just hurting my eyes at this point.
Immediately, I cover my eyes, not bothering the groan that came up from my throat. It was way too bright, the light reflecting over every single wall. Blinking, and trying to make sense out of everything around me, I close my eyes with a sigh. No matter how hard I try, no matter how long the

A threat is always a target.✾Raising one of my eyebrows, I look at her waiting for an explanation. Why will the state allow an institution that was handled by women, for women solely for education, and not for making wives out of them? It just doesn’t make sense. Plus, why were we not taught about this? Even thought it was a place of secrecy, what happened beyond the gates when we were in the palace, they should have told us about this. Considering this is a big leap towards education and changing society. How long had this been going on?“Your face says that you have a lot of questions. I’m not sure if I have all the answers that you need. Aren’t you even questioning why you’re in our therapy room? Why I’m constantly writing on my folder? Why I’m asking you all these questions?”I was still staring at the paper, unab

One that is not a lie, does not mean one is not deceptive.✾ I was still staring at Gloria for a good whole minute, trying to understand whatever it was that she just told me. A conspiracy is the last thing the government needs right now. Was that the sole purpose as to why we’re outside the gates? Silas had never been upright about the reason as to why we’re out here. He was always being vague, smiling whenever we say something that seemed to make some sort of sense to him, but over all that was just it. He never outright told us the reason we’re out here. I doubt it’s just helping him with governance and t

You do not get what you want. You get what you negotiate.✾ As much as I wanted to proceed and go towards the municipal hall almost immediately to know the whereabout of a certain gentle giant, I was forced to pass by the salon. Not that I could have missed it either way, it was by the exit. I was bound to pass by the hairdressers. Unconsciously, I comb my hand through my hair, it had grown longer than I intended. Back at the academe, we always had monthly trims, that’s why my hair never extended past my butt. Now, though, it was way past that. Maybe I do need a trim, it would be easier to travel with short

Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.✾Gloc’s voice was soft and could barely be considered as a whisper. And here I thought that only consorts had the ability to lower their voices so only a few people could hear. My time here outside the gates have really been more of an eye opener, that we weren’t that special really to begin with. Sure, there was a term used as a consort’s voice but nevertheless, it seems that most often than not, a lot of werewolves had the ability to soften their voice so that only a few people could hear. And I’m sure that wasn’t the only thing that we had that’s considered normal here beyond the gates.“What do you mean by that?”He bites his bot
