Chapter 33: Court
"I thought that it would be my unfortunate end," Austin said as she leans back to Shaun.
They were sitting on a hill, near the woods of Orion. Where people don't usually go or visit. It was quiet and peaceful, the kind of atmosphere they both love.
She keeps on smiling. Held Shaun's hands around her as she gently closes her eyes and let herself be drown in his warmth.
Shaun's mouth slowly moves upward. He held Austin tightly in his arms as he kisses the woman's temple dearly and hard.
He brushes through her short black hair and kisses her hair. Her sweet scent puts him at ease, contrary to what it has done to him a couple of times before. Her sweet persimmon scent is like a gentle drug to Shaun. It drives him crazy, but not to the point of biting into her flesh.
It is an addictive drug. A heroine. Continuously pulling him in.
"And I thought I wouldn't hold back. I thought I would kill you right there. I thought I couldn't

"Winter. I know you want to look for that child, but how will you do that? We don't even have any clue, except for that letter." King Veto said, crossing his legs as he looks down on me.I hurriedly bowed my head. No one is allowed to look at the king in his eyes. Death is the only rightful punishment for those who would even dare to try."For now, I still don't know, my king. But I will go and search again that dog's house in the forest to look for something I can use to begin my journey. " I said.The King cleared his throat. He remained silent for another couple of minutes until he called my name."Winter. I want you to find that kid. Persuade that bastard to come here. It would benefit us more is he or she will die right on the last night of Lycaea in our hands. I want you to bring him here with his mind at ease. That would make our victory more delicious." King Veto said.This is the voice I heard the night he said he wanted to g
Through Love and Instinct Chapter 35: Her Feelings
I thought meeting or even encountering a lycanthrope would be just a hopeful dream for me. I mean, although I keep on arguing with Justin that they exists, somehow deep inside I know they don't. They were the same as the thousand of myths I have heard and read before.But turns out, I was wrong. Lycanthropes is not a myth. They are true and existing somewhere and people don't have any clue about it. And one more thing, I have proven that they do really exist.Three things, three things are currently messing my mind right now. First, Shaun is indeed a lycanthrope. He is a monstrous blood-thirsty beast from I don't know when. And not just Shaun, but Grey is a lycanthrope too, his butler or something like that.Second, despite being a lycanthrope who is known to have a complete control over themselves unlike the werewolves, Shaun is not one normal lycanthrope. Although he appears to be strong and capable, he couldn't control himself, especiall

It was a messy and tiring week.Shaun keeps on coming to the café as usual. Giving me the usual white flowers and his sweet messages on a sticky note. He seems to be enjoying watching and observing me working my ass off and occasionally messing around with his cheesy and corny lines. Well, that’s how he usually is.But he became a little bit over to the top this week. More possessive and jealous than he already is. And the reason is obvious.These past few days, Winter keeps on bugging me nonstop. He’s talking to me way more friendly and casual, asking me for favors every single day and standing so close to me every time he got the chance. Just like now.“Uhm.. Winter, could you please move a little to the side? It’s not like this place is cramped for us to be this close. Don’t you think so?” I said, pointing the space at this counter.As usual, he just grinned and move a little. I was reliev

In the Kingdom of Arcadia"My King. Didn't we need to clean up that bastard as soon as possible instead of letting it loose? It would cause chaos in the Kingdom if people were to know," Hamlet said, bowing his head to Veto who's comfortably sitting on his throne.His voice were filled with worry. Somehow, Hamlet feels that something is off. With Lupus, Winter and the chief of the paladins, Silver. He and Lupus had a bad blood ever since the second in command arrived in the kingdom. It's not that strange to suspect someone you have no knowledge of. And with someone who always sided with Lupus, Silver. But with Winter, it was the first time he felt so cautious of him. Winter never displayed such eagerness to satisfy the king before. He was the type to always wait for orders and all. But surprisingly, Winter volunteered to find the child.What change the quiet and timid follower all of a sudden?What rose Hamlet suspicion even mo

The hair on my arms perched up when the cold wind blew. The long pants and thick coat I'm wearing doesn't really help me warming myself. I hugged myself tightly, the side of my mouth moving upwards as I swing back and forth on my seat. I'm really not a fan of cold season but somehow, I felt refreshed when I felt the coldness in the wind.It was a peaceful day on Orion. So as for me. How long has it been since I've enjoyed my day off like this? Sitting peacefully in a bench, watching the people pass by as I admire the town of Orion, place of amazing and different kinds of people.When I arrive here five years ago, I didn't have the chance to spend my days like this. I had to work almost 24 hours everyday just to have a roof above my head, food on my plate and money to pay my bills. Not until I met Peter in the cafe. I've known him since I was little. He used to go to the foster home, just like Justin. He gave me a spot in his cafe, pay me a good amount of
Through Love and Instinct Chapter 39: Prince of Arcadia (Part 2)
Controlling my temper has always been the biggest challenge ever since I was little. I mean, literally.I had to always keep my emotions and temper in check. I would literally snap at every single thing, especially if that thing belongs to me. Food, clothes, toys and even the people I like.I had this belief that whatever is mine, should not be touch by anyone except me. That's how it's always been.But these past couple of days has been the hardest. Everyday is like a battle between me and the monstrous beast inside of me. A war between good and evil. Between desires and rationality. Between my human and lycanthrope form.And now, that battle has become worst ever since I met Austin. Everyday, I want to be with her. I need to be next to her every single minute. I feel like I would suffocate every second she's not with me. She's like the air I breathe and the water I need to satisfy my thirst.She's the very reason I need to live. The

"WHAT!? You actually did say yes!? Why would you do that? Are you completely out of your mind?" Grey exclaimed, grabbing me tightly by my shoulders as he frown real hard, his face looks so ugly."Hold on, will you!?" I said and threw his arms off my shoulder as I remove invisible dirt on my clothes and fixes my clothes he accidentally crumpled. "For the record, I didn't actually said yes. I said... I'll think about it." my eyes instantly shifted, as if I did something wrong.Did I? I mean, there's nothing in going back home."You barely know that guy, why would you trust his words!?" Grey said, almost shouting at me as if I am his child who needs an earful and strong scolding. "In fact, you've been making a fuss about wanting to beat him to pulp just the other day, and now you want to go with him!?" Grey scoffed, violently brushing his fingers to his hair. "Who knows maybe he was just messing around with us! with you!"When Winter was talkin
