~Full of loneliness
This garden bloomed
Full of thorns
I bind myself in this sand castle~
-(BTS) The Truth Untold
------
Staying locked up in a faraway tower wasn’t the best of times for Stefanos, but he was already getting used to it, as the silence and his garden calmed him. It was at least better than the chaos and harsh insults which used to be thrown at him during his stay at his old residence.
Today felt no different than the others. As Stefanos walked with lazy steps toward the garden with his long dark rob trailing behind him. He wasn’t surprised to find that Wraya was already watering some of the plants and flowers with the watering can hanging through his mouth.
‘’Wraya, it’s been seven years and how many times do I have to repeat myself about not touching my garden without my approval?’’ Stefanos said, as he rested his hand on his forehead, massaging it in slow strokes.
Wraya seemed to realise his mistake but before he could reply Stefanos gaze moved to somewhere else among the garden, precisely where the once pink Orchids were growing. Wraya made a face of shock as he noticed the place empty and flowers plucked out of there.
‘’WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY ORCHIDS!’’ Stefanos growled, his eyes shining in brilliant red. It might be funny to say, but Stefanos protected his flowers like alphas did for their mates, and right now Stefanos wolf was just as angry as him.
‘’I-I s-swear s-sire, I have no clue about what happened to those flowers, i-in fact I’m just as shocked as you.’’ Wraya stuttered, as he felt all the bones in his body shrinking in fear.
Stefanos glare did not budge but he soon lowered his eyes because if there was one thing he was most sure about Wraya, it was that his dragon never lied.
He briskly walked over to the flowers as he kneeled low to the floor, inspecting the now torn and ripped roots and flowers.
Who dared steal from my garden!
Stefanos thought as he crumpled the fallen roots in his fist in anger, his amber eyes shooting daggers at nowhere.
‘’I swear I’ll end this person!’’ The rage and fury that Wraya saw at his sire’s eyes resembled that of a wolf that went rogue and Wraya desperately wished whoever was stealing from here, never comes back. Although being a dragon Wraya wasn’t a fan of watching his master tear another wolf in shreds
With an angry huff, Stefanos retreated to his room, leaving the mess to be cleared by Wraya who had no intention in irritating his master any further so he got back to work.
By evening Stefanos came back to his garden, Wraya supposed that his master felt restless when his garden was left in an utter mess, specially that one of his most priced flower, Orchid was missing from its roots.
So, with a handful of seeds and a shovel with Wraya carrying the watering can, Stefanos got back to work in planting a new set of orchids. By the time the sun was setting Stefanos was back to being his old self, as his wolf felt pride in completing their work without any disturbance.
Little did he know that the same thing would be repeating tomorrow but this time it being a set of blue Carnations being plucked and cut off with their roots left behind.
Stefanos was beyond furious right now. Just what was happening in his garden that he couldn’t put his finger on? Who has these guts to steal from the Stefanos De Vesilios?
For a moment he thought it might have been some kind of animal, for instance a bird, but he dropped the thought as soon as it came, thinking there was no way a crow or any other bird would steal flowers so gracefully with the stems cut off with something which wasn’t teeth or a beak. It certainly couldn’t be.
With the frustration swimming through his thoughts another day passed with Stefanos planting and replacing the old dead Carnations. Thinking the mystery thief won’t show up again.
However, the situation in Stefanos garden wasn’t getting any better. Every day he woke up to find different flowers missing from his garden, whether it be Sunflowers, Lilies, Chrysanthemums, Roses and what not. Day after day the rage in Stefanos was growing like a wild fire, he only had one thought in his head and that was to kill this mystery thief if he ever finds him.
By the nth time that it was happening, now the thief wasn’t just stealing one set of flowers but together with a variety of it. The collection of flowers that once bloomed his garden was failing in terrible ways, as there was now nothing left but only soil and small shrubs with scattered roots around.
‘’I have an idea.’’ Stefanos proposed one evening as he was busy planting and redecorating his garden like always. Wraya by his side as it flew around in circles near the garden, as it finally landed on one of the garden’s armillary.
‘’Yes, sire?’’
‘’I’m going to wake up in the earliest of the morning, come tomorrow and finally get a hold of this mystery flower thief who has been lurking around my garden.’’ He said, with his eyes carrying a determination which held the meaning that he wasn’t going to give up.
‘’Are you sure that we will get him sire?’’
‘’What better way is there unless we don’t try?’’ Stefanos smirked. ‘’I swear that if I really catch this person, trust me Wraya he is going to face my wrath.’’ The alpha grinned.
As the day passed by and night took over, Stefanos had a hard time sleeping as he kept figuring out ways of catching the thief. By the constant fidgeting around Stefanos had no idea how his time passed as he saw the first ray of light appearing through his large window.
In a hurry Stefanos found the nearest robe and put it over himself, with fast movement he walked towards his garden as he took cover in one of the flower sheds, hiding from the eyes of others. Wraya was still fast asleep and did not hear or see his master going to the garden.
And then it happened.
Stefanos watched with his lips parted as a tiny figure jumped over the fence. Darting their head from side to side, Stefanos stared as the fury slowly started begin growing in him while the intruder begin their work of plucking the nearest Peonies. Stefanos fisted his hands, ready to storm his way to the intruder and catch them red handed. When suddenly, a harsh wind blew, and the hood of the intruders cloak blew off of their head, revealing a clear view of their face to Stefanos.
Mid struck, Stefanos stood rooted to his spot as if his breath had been knocked out of him. This was not what he expected. He did not think this would be the intruder.
He did not think the intruder was a girl.
An omega beauty at that.

~What is your nameDo you have a place to goOh could you tell me?I saw you hiding in this garden~ -(BTS) The Truth Untold ---------- Stefanos It's a girl. I repeated it to myself. The thief is a girl. But not just any girl, a beautiful one at that. And she was also a werewolf. An Omega. I stood there rooted to my spot, my eyes fixated on the girl as she bend down to steal more of my flowers, cutting them carefully and placing them in a basket. She looked so carefree as if she was merely plucking flowers from her own garden and not trespassing into private territory. And yet I couldn't bring myself to move. There were so many questions in my head, so many things I wanted to know, but it seemed like my body forgot the function of talking. No lo
~I wanna be a good man, just for youI gave the world,just for youI changed everything,just for youBut I don't know me,Who are you?~ -(BTS) Fake Love Stefanos: “Why are you following me?” “I wasn’t?” I said, unsure about the reason myself. Why was I following her again? “Do you think I didn’t notice a certain someone with a hood and mask covering himself, following me for the past few days? You should have done a better job if you wanted a disguise, you know.” The girl said, clearly an edge of annoyance laced in her voice. “I told you. I wasn’t following you; I just had the same destination as you.” “HA! And why should I believe you!” She said, very much aggravated by how the situation was turning. Suddenly she was
~It’s my fateDon’t smile to meLight on me,Because I can’t get closer to youThere’s no name you can call me~ -(BTS) The Truth Untold STEFANOS "You shouldn't have said that." "I am aware Wraya. You have made it quite clear in the last forty minutes." "I can't believe you said that." "Stop rubbing it in my face." "You are terrible at socializing." "Wraya-" "You could have just stayed quiet if you-" "Wraya if you don't stop this instant I swear to the Moon Goddess I will send you back to your mother once and for all." Silence. "Yes sire." I sigh in frustration, watching as the huge figure of Wraya retreated with his wings folded behind him. Messing up my hairs and grunting to myself, I looked down at the garden below, the b
~Your smile, even your scentI’ve always waited, counting down with my fingersNo matter where I am, it’s only you~ -(IOI) I Love You, I Remember You Stefanos: "No one has ever stood up for me like you did." The same sentence has been going on repeat through my head like a mantra. If I could rephrase her sentence I could always say that the words referenced a certain pick-up line that has been used by Alpha’s trying to woo Omegas: You're the first person to treat me like that. Wasn't that an alpha thing to do? I could hardly wrap my head around the thought of how foolishly bold the flower thief was becoming. For a moment a surge of protectiveness came over me when I thought about what would have been the consequences if she told the same to other alpha’s who gave a hand in helping her? Would she say the same thing to everyone? The wolf in me almost growled with the thought yet the human side in me wasn't ready to acknowledge my wolf's sudden change in attitude t
~In my cracked heartYour cold sighsLike a slowly withering flower,Fall onto my heartThis damn love, because of youI can't move even if I'm hurtEven if I die, it's definitely you~ -(BTS) It's Definitely You ________ Stefanos was restless. It doesn't take a genius to know that Stefanos was restless as he paced the entirety of his chambers briskly. Wraya watched his master gnawing at his fingernails in concentration, a frown edged on the red beast's face. For hours Stefanos just circled around, ignoring all the questions Wraya threw at him. The beast sighed, covering himself with his leather wings before he deadpanned. "It's the flower thief isn't it?" Stefanos stopped abruptly, the mention of Xenia sending his heart to a marathon. He turned to the Dragon with his eyebrows knitted together. "Whatever made you come to that conclusion Wraya?" "You haven't taken off your mask yet, sire." Stefanos turned towards his mirror only to realize that it's shroud
~You’re so beautiful I want to place you in my eyes I wonder if you know my heart Your smile captivates me You make me smile every day Cuz you’re my beauty~ -(Verivery) My BeautyStefanos:After the day at the market place I could gladly tell that things between Xenia and I have gotten easier and friendly...maybe? I still doubt the friend’s part because as I have mentioned before, being friends is like opening up to each other in more than one ways, and I clearly wasn't ready to announce the obvious reasons for me hiding my face. Also news flash, being friend’s means knowing each other's name but it seems that this particular friendship is quite uncommon to find, where Xenia doesn't even know my name.I sat perplexed in my giant king sized bed, with the red silk sheets dangling over my bed in every direction. It was yet another fine morning and I couldn't bring myself to go look outside my giant window which looked out at the garden. For sure the flower thief was
~Even if it seems to be the beginning of the end I’ll call your name That gaze of yours is so colorful I’ll give my everything to you Still unable to verbalize the hopeless dream in my heart~ -(BTS) Your Eyes Tell ---------------------- "Adriano!" No reply. "Adriano!" Still no reply. "Adriano Perez are you listening to me!?" "Huh, What?" Stefano turned around, only to be greeted with a fuming Xenia, who looked like she could murder someone now. "I have been calling you for hours now, Adriano.” She deadpanned, stalking towards him while Stefanos debated with himself a
~Baby baby, you’re a caramel macchiatoYour scent is still sweet on my lipsBaby baby tonightYeah~ -(BTS) Coffee Stefanos: I had to get her home. I had to get her home. I had to get her home. Xenia. The girl who was currently lying on my arms, writhing in pain. I was caught up in a dilemma of where I should be taking her. Firstly, because I had no exact clue where the girl lived and secondly, if I decide to take her to my tower, it means I'm going to risk everything, including my identity. There was no way I could take her there, especially not when I am an Alpha and confining the girl at my home will never bring me peace. I don't mean that I can't control my urges; in fact I have been controlling them for years now without any problem. Yet, who knows what Xenia might bring into me, after everything sh
