ERICK
My heart hammered furiously as I galloped my boot's heels towards her current position. Something within me felt suddenly scared. Damn it! No! I can't lose her! My eyes began to shed tears which I didn't actually know that I could be able to. I couldn't help breathing heavily. My body was shaking and my nerves were twisting in fear. Damn! I haven't felt this kind of fear since I made myself the Alpha of the Royal Blood pack.
'Dickhead! Check her out! Fast!' Cirrus commands me, wailing miserably. I ignored him and scooped Rafaella in my arms in a hurry.
"Rafa, wake up, baby…" I shook her shoulders frantically and tapped her pale face. Panic began to crept the hell out of me! "Rafa… please…" my voice faltered, shaking coming out from my throat. She's not responding to me!

Thanks for reading. 😘😘😘
RAFAELLAI opened my eyes and sigh. Morning comes again. The birds were chirping and I assumed they were singing outside my windows. They must be hanging out at the tree branches that are stationed beside my room. A gust of wind blows making my flimsy curtains waver. It feels chilly, making me shiver.It's been three days since I got wounded. I had just overcome my fever and during those days, I had Erick beside me all the time. He attends to everything I need. From cleaning my wound, herb treatments and a whole lot more. I could say that he successfully softened a fraction of my heart. I hate to admit it but I'm feeling torn between my will to travel and be with him. He made me feel a lot of emotions that I didn't usually feel before I met him. There's something about him that keeps me pulling towards him. Whenever he took me in his arms and lull me to sleep, my heart cou
ERICK This is the third day of my stay in Rafaella's castle and tonight is the last night of us being together in her bed. I was such a dumb ass if somebody thinks of me that I didn't feel the urge to claim her during those nights while she laying in my arms but I couldn't. My efforts were about to bear fruit therefore a little bit more endurance is worth it. This morning we made it clear to each other that we both feel the same. I know she's having more than an attraction towards me as well as me towards her and I had to control it thus I excused myself and headed out to the garden to breathe some fresh air. Cirrus wants to come out pretty badly but I didn't allow him to. There are some guards stationed in every corner and I can't afford the risk to mess up my efforts like that. I left Rafaella in her chamber while she fell asleep. I'm afraid I couldn't bear i
RAFAELLA My eyes grow wide in shock and bewilderment. Her other half? How did she know about it? I stared at her doubtfully for a while, unable to absorb her words properly. "Rafa, please… I'll answer everything you ask later but please, not at this moment. Look at him, he's dying and I can't lose him this way." Red started sobbing. Her tears were flowing like streams that left me astounded. It breaks my heart to see her like this. There's no way I would let her suffer when I can help her cure her man. During those 8 long years that were together, I never saw her crying like this desperately. She had been wounded severely several times but tears never appeared running from her eyes. But now she's different. She looked torn and hopeless and I wondered if she had felt the thing they called 'love' towards the man. Perhaps she is t
ERICK I was deeply engrossed in my thoughts that I barely noticed something was wrong. The sunlight was getting hotter and piercing hitting right into my skin. My mind was full of Rafaella's images. The way she smiles at me. The way she frowns at me. The way she gritted her teeth in irritation towards me is really amusing. Her feisty and stubborn character added more to it, making me smirk. Her unspeakable cruelty, which is far more unbelievable compared to any female human in this kingdom, was adding more to the allure that she had me wrapped in her finger in just a few days without her knowing it. I finally stood up and gathered my messy thoughts. I needed to check on her again and try to converse with her if she could come with me to my kingdom in the morrow. I can't stay here any longer. Cirrus is bugging me too much to let him out. I can understand him for that
RAFAELLA After checking out every corner of my chamber and confirming that it was empty, I ran back to my hidden passage where I left wolfie. My eyes grew wide, almost popping out from it's sockets when a figure came into my sight. Heck? Though he had his back facing me, I surely recognized whose back it was. My heart drums loudly beneath my chest. Damn! He's on my secret passage? When? Was he looking for me? And why the heck was he naked like this? Erick! "What are you doing here, Erick?" I queried suspiciously. "Turn around." He commanded. "No! Tell me what the hell are you doing in my secret passage?" I pressed while taking slow steps towards him. "I said turn around and I'm not gonna repeat it again!" He o
ERICK "Don't you dare turn your back on me while I'm speaking to you, Rafaella." I warned her seriously. My nose is about to flare up with her stubborn temper. "I'm not." She defended but still her voice sounds waving off and clearly, she's heading to the door. "I'm taking a bath in the other chamber. Please feel free to use mine." And with that, she exited the chamber without waiting for my affirmation. Now I couldn't follow her as I'm already naked. I just need to make this as quick as possible to get her and talk about her little escapade. It still bugs me that she's keeping secrets from me. I know that we're still knowing each other but it fucking hurts me that she didn't trust me even for a bit. 'Well… look who sounds ironic here…' Cirrus mocked me.
RAFAELLA"We're not that far enough to be in an actual relationship but I assumed that we're good, right?" He asked me. His voice is laced with a slight eagerness that melts my hesitating heart.I nodded in approval. "Yeah, sort of…" I smiled at him."Now, let's go to bed and get some rest." He urged and kissed me on my forehead before he dragged me into the bed. He let me lean on his arm while his other hand circled my waist. He dragged me closer to him to the point that my face glued in his chest. He smells so damned good and I began to long for it knowing exactly that this is the last night that we're going to spend with each other.My mind wanders back to my secret passage and I truly wonder where the wolf could have gone this time. It still bothers me how that creature appears in there when I truly am sure that the passages are all too hidden to catch any creature's attention."Rafa, are y
HENDRICKI couldn't sit well after knowing that Rafaella was going to the kingdom of Euratus in the morrow. I felt so damned worried. I assumed my brother didn't tell her about who and what he really was. It even surprised me that her hand was asked for betrothal by our kingdom. My brother wasn't fond of humans. He hated weak creatures. Rafaella would surely end up killed by this betrothal allegiance and I couldn't just sit here and watch her die. But I couldn't go back either. Not in this form! I still feel so unstable and I'm afraid if I insisted on traveling it might worsen my condition. What the hell should I do? I don't want to complicate things. I'm used to planning my next moves."Hey! Why are you up from the bed?" Lalaine appeared behind me?I turned around while sighing deeply. "Rafaella just left. She has been waiting for you but you took so long.""You told him what she needed to hear?" She questioned
