She's A Little Different
“That’s what you got wrong, Lina. You are my responsibility. After all, you are my niece.”
She slowly blinked, her brain was stuck up in the process of what Briare said. “Niece?” Her voice crocked. How did she become Briare's niece when it doesn't look like he has Asian blood? Her heart thumped painfully in her chest for she remembered when she was young, kids in the neighborhood used to tease her as a half-mixed. When she became an adult, people just shrugged off her looks that were a bit different from others as a result of an operation. She didn’t get any. She didn’t go under a knife but she didn’t correct those wrong assumptions because it would be more complicated to explain how she doesn’t really look so Asian when both of her parents are.
Her gaze slowly drifted to Vanessa who was sitting next to Briare. She wanted to see any indication that Briare was just joking but Vanessa was wearing her poker face.

Under The Waning Moon She's Changing
“I’m busy. Can’t you just leave?” She couldn’t understand why every time she had to talk to Briare she was always asking him to do things for her. In her head, she really wanted to tell him to leave but when she opened her mouth it turned into a question as if she had to ask for his permission. “I’m sorry, Lina but we can’t just leave.” “We aren’t going to leave until you accept the fact that you’re a guardian and we are family.” She got up from the couch. She wanted to try if Brigette would still make her sit down. “I don’t want to go with you or anyone. I want all of you to leave me alone.” She gathered all their cups, not asking if they were done with their drinks, and brought them to the kitchen sink. She didn’t return to the living room, instead, she unpacked the bags of groceries that Zhan sent to her apartment. She made sure to make a loud racket of noises in the kitchen as she moved around to make them unwelcomed for words were not enough for
Under The Waning Moon More Questions Than Answers
She splashed her face with cold water and looked at her expression in the lavatory mirror. Her eyes were red from crying while her face was as white as a piece of paper. She gripped the edge of the cold sink, her breath was uneven.“What’s happening with you?” She asked at her own reflection. She had no one to ask. She could ask Briare but she doesn’t trust him and Brigette annoys her. Thus, she doesn’t think asking them was really a good idea. She was about to leave the bathroom when a thought came to her mind.Briare told her that he’s looking for her mother so she could prove the truth of his words. She can’t ask Briare but she can ask her mother. The problem was, she wasn’t sure if she could do it. She hasn’t faced her mother since she tried to kill her. And, she also has no idea what’s the name of the asylum where her father put her mother.If she would contact her father, he would know that she&rs
Under The Waning Moon Facing Her Fear
From her talk to her father, she found out that her mother was sent to a special house in Ireland. According to her father, that was her mother’s request. Apparently, her mother had been cleared at the asylum where she was first sent. However, her mother refused to return to her previous life, thus, they came out of the agreement for her to stay in another hospital where she would be supervised twenty-four-seven. Lina scoffed inwardly, remembering her phone conversation with her father. He hurried like usual, as though he was in the middle of an important matter and he had to cut the call short. In the past, Lina would come up with the excuse to end the call to avoid the awkwardness and the coldness of her father. But that was before. She had a list of questions for her father that she wrote down before she made the call and she asked him those questions, one after the other. His father must have noticed that she had no plan to end the call until she got an answer, t
Under The Waning Moon Taken Again
Lina took her time, choosing clothes to wear as if she would be going on a date when it was just her father. She kept on changing clothes because of her jittery nerves but in the end, she settled for tight-fit black jeans and a cream dress shirt. She tied her hair in a high ponytail and just left her face bare except for the red lipstick that she was wearing.She heaved a deep sigh as she picked up her purse. The uncertainties of what could have happened today kept her awake all night and she had her dark circles to show. Shaking her head to chase away the thoughts in her head, she got out of her apartment.Last night, she casually asked Zhan if her car was still parked in her parking space and he told her that it was there for her to use. She couldn’t be more glad about what she heard. Also, she received a message from Dana—the wife of her ex-fiance, inviting her for dinner. Seeing that the people in her past were reaching out to her, she somehow thought t
Under The Waning Moon Negotiating With Her Kidnapper
Lina heard the hum of the aircon and the unfamiliar felt of the mattress on her back. She sniffed the air before she opened her eyes and fear crawled on her skin when she smelled the air.“You can open your eyes. You’re safe here.”Her eyes flew open when she heard the familiar voice. She jerked up the bed, pulling the blanket to her chest for a part of her brain remembered that she would wake up naked whenever she woke up with Eon in the room.“Didn’t you get enough sleep for you to be up that long?” His voice was laced with worry.“Y-you!!” She pointed her finger at Eon who was lounging on the armchair under an open window. She could see that it was already night and she was in a bedroom with a Victorian interior design. “What did you to me?”“I want to talk—”“Talk? You freaking kidnapped me!” She screamed at him. The fear and the panic she felt came
Under The Waning Moon Ever Changing Dilemma
“I want you to ask me all of the questions you have.”The room went so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Her breath was caught at the back of her throat for Eon’s offer was too good not to take. She had so many questions and even though she wasn’t sure if he would tell her the truth, it was still a good offer since she has no one to ask her questions, especially those that involved werewolves and such.“I know you don’t fully trust me but I promise to tell you the truth that I know.”Lina was shocked that Eon seemed to know her dilemma. He was right, right now, she doesn’t want to talk to Briare and Brigette. She doesn’t trust Eon but at least he’s someone that she knew compared to Briare who did help her get a new identity but it turned out that he has a personal motive by doing so.Eon patiently waited for Lina’s decision. His wolf could sense her apprehension and mistrust, that’
Under The Waning Moon Preparing To Meet Her Mother
The night breeze caressed her skin as the moon—high up in the night sky, adorned the open window of her hotel room where a table for two was set up for her and Eon. A glorious spread of her favorite foods was laid on the table, a bottle of wine was opened and Eon was sitting across from her, attentively taking care of her wants even before it leaves her mouth. “Really? What is this magic?” She sighed, annoyed. She dropped her fork and knife beside her plate and glared at Eon. “Babe, there is no magic. It is what is it.” “What do you mean?” Eon chuckled in amusement. Lina was too charming for her own good. Her pouting and throwing a tantrum over every little thing tickles Eon’s heart. “You see, our kind were more receptive to the emotions and feelings of the others.” He put a piece of meat on her plate, and said, “yours were leaking all over the place.” He poured her glass more wine. “But don’t worry, you can learn to hide your thoughts in no time.”
Under The Waning Moon Fly With Me
Lina and Eon sat next to each other inside Eon’s eighteen-seater private plane. They were sipping some wine, faint music floated inside the plane and the cabin attendants were nowhere to be seen as well as Eon’s right-hand man, Ehann. They must be somewhere inside the plane but they hid to probably give her and Eon some privacy.They were just the passengers of the plane, other than the two cabin attendants and the pilots for a more than ten hours flight to a small airport in South East of Ireland for it was the nearest airport to where her mother was.The flight would take longer because they will have a two hours layover in Hong Kong. She didn’t exactly know why but she overheard a conversation between Eon and the pilot that there was some business that Eon had to settle.She wasn’t in a hurry to meet her mother until now, she wasn’t sure if she really wanted to talk to her about the circumstances of her birth. The main reason why
