(Vera)“Oh, do come to the ball tomorrow, and then once the ball is over, I will take you to the temple and then-”I hated it. I knew I wanted the rejection, but he didn’t have to be so eager about it, did he?“Then what?” My body was burning with anger and jealousy. I didn’t want his first time with some random Fae wh0- okay, I absolutely didn’t want to call a random woman wh0re, that wasn’t right, and I knew that. But I already hated this phantom Fae, with her wispy, beautiful wings and her delicate curves and magic. “Will you take a Fae to your room?” I grunted. I wanted to tie him down and prove to him that I would be better than any Fae ever could be.F*ck No!I hated that when he talked about finding a Fae girl. Ugh. Faes! I didn’t want those bitches near my-"Careful, Vera. Your green is showing. Dark green, too...”I ignored the dragon.I glared at his back as he turned to me and grabbed my hands, as if it was completely normal to hold hands after talking about rejection. His
“Love in its essence is spiritual fire.” — Seneca ---- (Vera) End of the world... I sighed softly as I stared into his glinting eyes. The way he was looking at me, so tender, so loving... it twisted my heart, and it made me feel edgy. My skin prickled in awareness. I wanted to flee and hide and- It was the year-old fear of letting a person in. I knew, even now, that Mateo would be more than what my heart could handle. He already was. "But he will also be everything your heart desires! The way he talks to you...” Yes. The way he talked to me... I had never thought I was someone who would love to hear such blatant admission on how much he already liked me. I would have made a puking face if Ezra had ever said it, but when Mateo said that, I felt like I wanted to hear him say things like that, forever, but it was also alarming, the feeling of utter helplessness and neediness. I had never needed anyone much in my life, and I preferred it that way. And yes, it immediately made me
Broken souls need more than a second to heal! I have a million pieces of my soul within. - Vera!----(Mateo)“Yes, I am stealing it for you,” she whispered as she gazed at the stone, her eyes gleaming. It reminded me of the first night we met. Five years ago.I stared at the eye of Sabius, and smiled at Vera. I couldn’t help it. This was... actually better than what I had hoped, and my heart was still thundering, and I loved how excited she looked when she was climbing the water line, as if it was the most amazing thing in the world.She looked young, radiant and she would put, even the moon to shame!She looked without the worry she often carried with her. Free of the weights that pulled her down.I loved it. I loved her enthusiasm.“How very romantic,” I muttered as I fully turned towards her. “This is the best date I have ever had.”“Have you even gone on dates?” She wrinkled her nose as she scanned me, and her eyes stopped at my still erect c.ock. It was painfully obvious, how mu
"The venom clamours of a jealous woman poison more deadly than a mad dog’s tooth." -William Shakespeare----(Vera)I woke up to the hushed whispers and shuffling footsteps. My head pounded as I rubbed my eyes with a wince.It was a terrible, terrible night and I had no one to blame but myself.After Mateo walked out and flew away, leaving my stomach in tangled knots, I almost got caught, but I was quicker than and got away, of course, after stealing the eye of Sabius, once again.I almost went to the palace, too, but then I talked myself out if it. I knew there was no use keep picking up the wound.He was right, but every inch in my body begged even when my brain warned me against it.I hated it. I hated every second of that torture.I ran all the way to my home, because I knew if I allowed Nova to come, she wouldn’t hesitate to go and find the prince and tell him about things he didn’t need to know.She was a freaking traitor, and that was what she was, oh, and also terribly angry w
"She may be broken for a while, but that’s ok. She’s working on her, cause she’s not one to leave a mess lying around." – JM Storm ----- (Vera) "I don’t. Do I know you?” he said. His voice felt blank, emotionless. I jerked back as if he had just punched me. His eyes flicked to meet mine for a second before he shook his head and turned to fucking Faith. If I could rip her heart off... “You don’t know me?” I blinked at him, irritated and angry. And hurt. I knew he was angry, but... here I was, practically begging and- "Begging? I haven’t even heard a please!” my dragon said with a huff. “You know what I am talking about,” I huffed. Suddenly, Nova was team Mateo, through and through. Such a traitor, my dragon was. I didn’t like it, not one bit. I didn’t like the feeling of anger and jealousy in me, or the overwhelming feeling to prove to him and myself that I had power over him, just as he had over me. I didn’t like the indifference in his eyes, nor did I like the look of warmth w
“Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.” ― Sun Tzu ---- (Vera) I looked at Mateo and shook my head as my heart twisted weirdly. I felt a momentary flash of panic. No. I didn’t want him anywhere near danger. Just thinking about it was creating a big fucking ball of fear in my stomach, and this was one of the few reasons I didn’t want him in the first place. “Go, Mateo, go with your guards. I will be alright. Okay. You should go... you must-” He pressed a finger against my lips, cutting me off. The guards looked at us weirdly before one of them cleared his throat. “Prince, you really should come. Nobody knows what is going on here... you are not safe here,” the guard spoke in an urgent voice. “The queen asked me to fetch you and I shall-” Mateo waved his hand, cutting the man off. “And I am just the same as everybody else. I can’t run away like a coward, Jace. Please, make sure mother and Amyra is safe,” he whispered worriedly, and the guard looked conflict
“What you seek is seeking you.” ― Rumi.----(Vera)“If you ever scare me like that... I will kill you!” Mateo said with a huff, and I saw a hint of his dragon, too, before he shook his head, and I laughed, forgetting for a moment about the situation we were in.It was strange to laugh when we were both covered in sticky grayish red blood that smelled like ass, but right now, I didn’t care for any of that. I just felt happy and free, and I finally felt like I could have something with him, despite everything.“Yeah, I won’t. If I do, I give you permission to kill me!” I teased, but I felt my heart becoming big at his confession. He looked so open, so vulnerable, and it gave me a strange sense of power and accomplishment. Maybe he was what I had needed all along. Someone just for me."I told you he is special,” Nova pranced like a freaking diva.“I know... You are right.” I said with an appeasing smile and Nova shook her head, a smug look in her eyes."What is that? Yes, I am always ri
(Vera)“Despite all this fucking mess, I am happy. Because you are here right now.” His voice was breathy as he looked at me with bright emerald eyes that stole my breath away. The look in his eyes... created a pit in my stomach. I nervously looked up at him and I realized it was love. It wasn’t the dark passion, or the sweltering lust. I could easily take it and give it back. As much as he gave. Even more. But this was love. This was something... that scared me.Did I love him? Could I love him like how he loved me? Pure. Unadulterated. A love I didn’t deserve. He deserved so much more than what I could offer him."You are everything he deserves and more!” Nova said with a deep growl. Of course, she would say that, because no matter what, she was always loyal to me. I shook my head.He was too good to be saddled with my brokenness. I was full of darkness he hadn’t seen in life."How do you know? You know nothing about him, just as he doesn’t know anything about him. That is why you n
