“I didn’t expect them to care for me this much,” Kaliyah said, in her soft and low tone. Ruan paused, lifting his eyes on her. He was kneeling at her feet, checking and rotating her ankle which was now swollen than before. At her words, he didn’t even show any hint of what he’s feeling. He just stared at her, then looked at how bad her feet were. Then, he clenched his jaw. He didn’t like the redness he was seeing right now in her soft and white feet before. “I don’t also know why you cared for me this much.” Again, Ruan halted. But he didn’t look at her like before. Instead, he gently holds her feet together, and with no warning, he kissed both of them. And that totally caught her off guard. “What are you doing!? I didn’t even wash it. It’s dirty…” She tried to pull her feet away, yet he holds them still. She couldn’t even help but felt tingles with the way his long fingers were touching her. And how soft his lips were pressed agains
It has been a week since Kaliyah started her official training. And every day, she was so busy that she rarely paid attention to anything else but this. “Is she having any progress?” Samantha’s lips curled upwards as her eyes fell on the woman who was currently practicing her swords skill with Terry. Among the men in the pack, even Ruan couldn’t beat him on it. He was so skilled that no one dared to challenge him on it. Yet, everyone aspires to be taught by him. Kaliyah was a lucky one. “Are you just trying to boast your woman, my little nephew? From the very first time, I think you already knew how talented she is. But opps- I was mistaken. She isn’t your woman. But Fenris’s.” Samantha laughed as she sipped from her tea, ignoring how Ruan bared his teeth on her. “Don’t mention that stinky jerk’s name, little aunt. And Kaliyah is my woman. She’s destined to be mine.” “Well, we aren’t sure about that.” Again, Ruan frowned at his aunt. “But what we are sure about is tha
“You’re going to the village alone with Kaliyah?!” Terry to Ruan. “And you agreed?!” Terry to Samantha. Looking at Terry with emotionless eyes, Samantha answered. “As if you can stop him even if I disagree.” “But you always did! he won’t ever do something if you disagree.” “Yes, he did. when he was eight years old.” Samantha threw a sharp glare at Ruan but he just ignored it. Terry knew she was right. But then, he was getting anxious. Although their kingdom had been peaceful for the past five years, it still isn’t that safe for Ruan to wander around the kingdom. Especially with Kaliyah with him. “Who told you to call her by her name?” Ruan snapped at Terry, his eyes were as deadly as his sharp sword. Yet, Terry proudly cocked his brow upwards and answer. “I taught Kaliyah her swords skill. Perhaps we had became closer since then that she asks me to call her by her name. she calls my by name too- Hey! Ruan!” After just throwing a kni
Kaliyah was instantly thrilled the moment they crossed the bridge. For after they got passed through it, a bustling village welcomed her. Elton villages are more populated and livelier than this. Yet, she just doesn’t know why finds the villages here more beautiful. Was it because of the people? “Is this your-” The beautiful smile in her lips faded when Ruan jumped down from the horse, leaving her hanging. “You may go around to visit the village. I still have some work to do.” “Ruan!” He ignored her. he didn’t even stopped, nor looked back when she called her name. he just walked away, leaving her completely alone in this unknown place. “Was he mad because of what I said while ago?” she wondered, feeling bad because of it now. But deep inside her, she was mad at him for leaving her alone right now. When in fact, it’s him who brought her out to enjoy as he quoted. “As if I can’t be happy without you!” she muttered and leaded th
“Our Luna is missing?!” Ever since a notice was sent to the palace from Ruan, it was all chaotic all over. Even the palace guards who weren’t suppose to move out from their posts were pulled out just to search for their missing Luna. “What is that naughty boy even thinking for leaving a little girl on her own? How should I even punish him for his foolishness!?” Terry gently patted her back to calm her down, yet Samantha just glared at him. She didn’t need someone to console her. she wanted her student back in the palace; safe and unscratched. Yet, it already seemed impossible when the night is already drawing deep. “Don’t worry. They will find her. I already dispatch half of the guards here to look for Kaliyah.” With what he said, Samantha only felt more furious. “Yes. You did. and that’s already been couple of hours since. And yet, there’s still no news of her. Are you boasting how incompetent you guards are, Terry?” Her sarcasm banter embarra
“Do you want to dance with me, my lady?” It wasn’t the first time that Kaliyah was asked by a man to dance with him. The community dance of the people in the village was fun. Until it turned somewhat romantic where young men and women danced together. It was sweet to watch not until she was asked to join. “We’re really sorry, Ed. She’s my patient and she cannot even stand up. How can she dance?” in a jokingly manner, it was Elle who kept declining them for her. The man’s worried eyes landed on Kaliyah who was sitting on a dead trunk which was meant for the people to sit on. “Is that so? Then, pardon my inconsiderateness, my lady.” To her surprise, the man knelt before her and kiss the back of her hand. Kaliyah didn’t even have time to react when that happened, that her eyes only widened in horror after the man left. Worried that Kaliyah was offended by it, Elle was quick to explain things to her. “T-that’s… I’m sorry. Please understand. T
“So, what happened? Why are you in that village?” “Who kidnapped you?” “Did you saw their faces?” Before Kaliyah was bombarded with several questions from Terry and the rest, Ruan stood in front of her; blocking her from their sight. He glared at them, suggesting he didn’t like their actions. “She needed rest. So, keep your questions for tomorrow and get the hell out of here.” All them cowered as they stepped back. They felt guilty after realizing Ruan had a point. And they also cared for Kaliyah’s welfare too. However, the room’s door flung open and Samantha walked in. “But we also needed to catch who ever had the guts to kidnap my student, Ruan. And questioning Kaliyah here would be the best option for now.” “She’s right, Ruan. Besides, I am not that fragile. I can manage myself.” Kaliyah tapped his back, telling him to move and stop barricading her. then, she sat up and face the five people who’s full with questions. Ruan almost
Elton Kingdom- “Alpha Fenris. There is a news from our spy in Darkenshire Kingdom.” Fenris turned around, his gray cold eyes darting to the guard who just came. Beside him was the messenger wolf who’s holding a sealed envelope. “Bring it to me.” As he spoke, the messenger who rarely meet him felt shivering at how cold his voice was. Just like how cold and empty this palace where he lives. Walking towards him, Fenris reached for the envelop. The eerie silence was pierced by the sound of the seal being broken by him in a snap. As he read the letter, the messenger watched his expression. He was anticipating to see changes in it as he learned the news. Yet, he was disappointed. For Fenris’s face was still as stoic as ever. It’s as if he’s just an empty shell, void of emotion. “A vampire appeared in his territory huh?” “Yes, my alpha king. Although the messenger didn’t state it in his letter because it’s still unverified, it might a puppet vam
