Sixty-Two
Any love or happiness given to anyone always comes back.
✾
The moment I felt a cool breeze kiss my cheek; I knew we were closer than I had anticipated. Even though I promised myself that I wouldn’t doze off, I felt myself nodding away until I fell asleep. It felt like it was just a few minutes, however it feels like it had been hours instead since the sun is up right now. It was probably noon. Yawning, I notice Kofi looking at me with his big doe eyes again. He was shivering, even though he was already wearing the poncho I’ve made for him, his teeth were still clacking together, his shoulders shaking. Sighing, I pull him closer to me.

A red rose is not selfish because it wants to be a red rose.✾ “Your arm?” I blink reluctantly at the woman in front of me. Biting my bottom lip, I slowly raise my hand and show her my wrist. She grabs onto it, pulling it towards her. She smiles at me, or I think she does, the only part of her that I could see either way was her lips, the bottom part of her nose, and everything below her ankles. Then she pulls a small sharp pen from her pocket, stabs it on my wrist, making me flinch. The pen starts turning red, and just like that sh

It is exactly because a man cannot do a thing that he is a proper judge of it.✾ My heart hammers inside my chest as I look at the way my blood fills up the small little pen the woman in front of me had injected by my wrist. I had some Alpha blood in me, but I knew for a fact that it didn’t exceed 50%. From where I was asked to stand, I couldn’t see how Kofi and Yohan’s blood injections were going. I knew Kofi could come inside, but Yohan? I highly doubt it. The lady smiles at me again, her hood blocking half of her face. I j
Rules and Roses Sixty-Five
He who will have no judge but himself condemns himself✾ When you think about it, just who in the world has the right to judge someone for something that is a big part of their lives? If there was ever a chance, would you judge a father for leaving his kids every other day just so he could earn a living and be able to feed them three times a day? If there was ever a chance, would you judge a woman for wearing skimpy clothing every chance she gets because that’s the only piece of clothing where she feels powerful? If there was ever a chance, would you just women who let people step over them like they were dirt, just so they could save a population, just so they could give their families a future where they don’t have to worry about money?

Cleanliness is a state of purity, clarity, and precision.✾ I had to pinch myself to make sure that I was still in Cinco and not some magical place. Azure looked like it came out of a story book. Not just any story book, a book that I usually saw in my textbooks when they talked about Utopias. Everything was pristine, clean, and shiny. There were no dilapidated houses, not like the other towns we’ve been to. Dare I say, Azure looked so much better than the capital. The buildings seemed like they were all made from glass and looked as if t

Mirrors don't lie.✾ To tell you that the shower was nothing short of amazing would be an understatement. I felt as if I just went into another dimension the moment I went out the stall. All the grime and filth I’ve accumulated for the weeks I’ve been outside the gates were washed away. It was good that there was also a loofah in the wooden basket, I was able to really scrub every corner of my body until it turned red. I even made it a point to manually brush my hair and the roots with my hands. Just to make sure that every piece of dirt will be removed. &n

Children are likely to live up to what you believe of them.✾ “What did you say, honey?” The little girl looked up at her mother, her nose up in the air, as if sniffing something. Her mother thought of it as odd, her little daughter did have some alpha blood in her, but her senses shouldn’t be in full power this early. She never thought about it as much, she knew that everything she needed to learn would be taught at the academe. She did have her enrolled in the academe for royal consorts for about a year now. It was a surpris

No act of kindness no matter how small is ever wasted.✾Eleanor stared at the bleeding child just below her.She weighed no more than 35 pounds, at least that’s what the recent weigh-in at the academe stated. Yet, some sort of adrenaline within her had made it possible for her to drag a body that was about her size too, if not smaller. She had panicked, she did a mistake. Something that she usually never does. She always had everything calculated, always studying about the pros and cons of every single action. Her mother’s probably worried, probably looking for her now as she spoke. Biting the nail of her thumb, her feet starts tapping on the ground.She had brought the bloodied girl over to one of the secluded places at the palace. The place she usually hid whenever she read books that weren’t allowed for consorts to read. She usually stole this from Silas, an Alpha’s curriculum was different from that of a c

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
