We hadn’t spoken about his revelation since then. Rather, he didn’t allow me to bring it up. But then again, what should I say? Looking back, when I saved him from the spell that couldn't be done, it made sense why he was outraged when I stole his chance of his twisted sense of freedom. No, he would have done that when he had the chance to die in battle. Varick continued to have a strong sense of responsibility to his pack more than his secret desire.Leaving me in my thoughts, he walked past me and I swiftly turned, following him like a worried hen. Now that I knew his thinking, I felt this strong urge of concern. He exited the house and at that moment, I thought he was trying to escape—only to stop by at the porch. He picked a pebble which was kissed on the sole of his boot and stared at the bushes outside. I continued to observe him so I stayed next to him.Then—He threw the pebble directly to the bush, like an arrow circumferenced until I heard a quiet shriek.My eyes gre
That evening, after eating our rabbit stew, I continued observing Varick as we headed back to our bedroom. I observed his every move as he prepared our bed. He was very meticulous and surprisingly attentive to cleanliness that I wouldn’t have noticed if we didn’t have maids around.He could be a great house wife if he were a woman, I mused. But he had done a lot today, so I offered to do it for him. Only to rouse his annoyance, stating I shouldn’t do anything to harm the baby.I intentionally rolled my eyes in front of him, and his glare darkened. Yet none of us would make an encore of our usual bickering as we turned our backs against each other in an unusually comical manner. It was a long day, after all. Varick hadn’t had a wink of sleep since the invasion. I could at least allow him to rest.We laid on bed in silence and the room was completely dim, minus the rushlight placed next to the bedpost. We didn’t have enough wood for the fireplace and I took a mental note to get them
At that moment, I could just ignore him and shut my eyes , pretending that this embarrassing situation was nothing but his figment of imagination. "Did you…just pleasure yourself?" But this is Varick we were talking about here. He wouldn't let it slide when I did something that caught him off-guard. "Err…no?" It was my failed attempt of lying and I took a mental note to chant a redemption prayer intensively in the morning. "Lying to me is futile, church maid." When was the last time he said that nickname? But based on his tone, it felt different. I took a peek with my one eye and above me, Varick had a rare sight of amusement on his expression. I scowled as I turned my back against him. My heart raced along with the unending discomfort between my legs. Once again, I cursed the Seer and wished to get even on him one day. "I always thought these what you called carnal desires are being frowned upon in your church." "B-blame your acquaintance, the Seer!" I swiftly turned my he
I couldn’t help but scream as that sinful tongue delved into a nectar-spilled cavern. It felt heavenly as my body arched, spilling more of my essence.Varick retreated as his face was drenched, only to see me panting as my face completely flushed. He looked startled as he wiped my fluid from the cheek and stared at it. I unconsciously shied away from the sight. “You are more sensitive than usual. Is this what the Seer’s medicine could do?” Did he expect me to answer? I refused to speak as I was still aroused after the second orgasm. Instead, I spread my legs, raising them up as I shut my eyes tight.My lust was worse than it ever had been. Needy and achy as I trembled before him. Now, in a compromising position, he should have known by now how I needed to be filled by him and get this done with.Then I heard the rustling of clothes and when I took a peak, the Alpha leader had already dropped his trousers and his large length rubbed its leaky entrance. My mouth released another su
It was a miracle that I fell asleep that night after Varick left. My body was sore yet I could sigh in relief that the heat finally left me when I woke up. After relief, my brows furrowed, and I was seething with anger. I turned to punch the bolster in frustration. 'I AM GOING TO MAKE THAT SEER PAY! I DON'T NEED ANY OFFENSIVE SPELLS TO PUT HIM IN HIS PLACE!'' I dropped and buried my face in the bolster and I screamed my frustration. Who was I kidding? The damn Seer was the closest to the Moon Goddess. It would kill me instantly before I could lift a finger on him. When I caught a whiff of Varick's scent on the bed, the memories left me confused, angry, and lost. It was an overwhelming feeling, and I was hoping my words could at least reach out to him.But he showed mortification and the way his body shook meant it wasn't really my imagination when his hand trembled on my hand."I am sorry."His apology repeated in my mind. But what really caused him to lose himself? I tried to r
Something didn't feel right. Varick allowed me to see my father, allowing me to stay in the church when he detested the thought of his mate as a Hati supporter. "Phineas…how long are you away?" He shrugged. "Honestly, I couldn't tell this time. After all, this is the first time that we are going to strike the pack first. Normally, it was the opposing pack who would come to fight against us." The same pack that defiled Lenalee and the cause of the invasion. “C-can you tell me if you can give an estimation?” “Well…” he pondered. “Maybe a year or so. We don’t know what their so-called “technology” would do to us.” That would mean that the Skollist heir would be born without seeing their father. My lips pursed while I was in deep thought. Father Gossep was oddly quiet as he listened to our conversation. "Are you…leaving right away?" I asked. He nodded. "The army is waiting for me before we set off. I only came here to bring your father to you in your husband’s stead. The Alpha
“Why isn’t Rosaria with you, Father?!” Sister Anette bellowed as she slammed the table. Her brows clenched in anger. “You allowed her to join the war?!” The Hatiist nuns fled the dining hall as soon as they witnessed Sister Anette’s fury. They knew first-hand what the head nun would do when angered. Father Gossep gave a look of content. “Her husband will protect her. I assure you that.”“But still, she is pregnant, Father! She is safer here with us! Don’t you want her back?!” “I do, Sister Anette. But I know it won’t bring her genuine happiness when they haven’t resolved their issues.” Apparently, Sister Anette’s anger hadn’t lifted the tears falling from her eyes. “You k-know how terrible the war was, Father. You were once a war hero acknowledged by the late Alpha Leader.” She sobbed. “You knew the misfortunes there, you WITNESSED it yourself!” She poked her finger at him. “Yet, despite that… why did you let her go?” In Father Gossep’s thoughts, he, too wondered w
“No.”Varick returned to his stallion after his quick rejection. “I’m not asking for your permission!” I retorted. “I volunteered myself for this battle.” There were whistles among the troops and now we were being circled as more of his men went to the front to see the ruckus.Varick’s mood turned darker as he approached me. His eyes glimmered with anger and I was scared…at first. Recalling our first meeting.But now, I continued putting on a brave front as I stood confidently at his tall, large built.“Rosaria, are you testing my patience again? I have no time for this.”“No. I want to go with you!” I held my chest as I heaved a sigh. “I’m not going back even if you make me!” I challenged him as I tiptoed to be in his equal height.But then again, even if I tried to stand with my toes, I couldn’t reach his height at all. I mean, I wasn’t even short in stature to begin with.Varick gave me the coldest look as his attention went back to Phineas. “Send her back, High Mage.”“I told yo
