“Was it because of this? Is this what you’ve been so afraid of?” Karilaya giggled as she placed her palms on Max’s hand that almost dwarfed hers. The man remained silent while looking straight into his lady’s bare shoulder, he let out a deep sigh swallowing hard as he gently brush the purplish swollen part on her skin that was left by their lovemaking. They were now embracing one another, naked and enjoying the warmth of each other.Karilaya laying on top of Max’s chest, her bare breast touching his skin, all the while his arms were wrapped around her to make sure that she would remain in place. Not wanting to let her move away from him at that moment.She winced upon feeling the sting of his touch, no matter how soft it was the pain was still there because of the size of the bruise that she got.Max grumbled upon seeing that, he ended up wiping his face as it twisted from the sheer anger and annoyance upon himself.“It’s all right,” Karilaya placed h

Charging straight into the raging storm, Karilaya was struggling just to walk within the forest. The winds were so strong that she had to keep crawling and grabbing at the ground so that she wouldn't get blown away. It had been a rigorous few hours but she did not stop moving forward, even though she was barely able to see anything. She took the chance of relying on her memory on where Max could be since she had already his usual hunting grounds for the past days. She could not help the feeling of dread that kept on crawling on her entire body, especially since Max didn’t return. Though the sky was still dark, she was sure that it was already morning. Her worries and fears kept piling up, as one by one all the things were starting to make sense to her now. The village of Luhan was the first village on the western borders of the Aselaysia and the closest one to the capital, which only meant that they weren’t t

“How did you find us?” His face had a dark shadow hovering over his face while looking at the adviser in front of him.It was as if his energy was seeping out of his body again. Though he had a straight face, his nerve-racking cold stare seem to cut through the old man’s composed demeanor.Lord Slog swallowed hard, trying to sway his thoughts on the beads of sweat that were starting to slide down his forehead, wanting to keep face and remain with a steel and hardy composure.“The wizards noticed your energy rampaging nearby. We were wary at first but when we noticed a pattern, the commander finally decided to investigate,” he says, remaining perfectly still in place.The two of them were sitting on different sides of the carriage, facing each other. The adviser felt like he was on the losing side of a battle at that moment, seeing those sharp, narrowing eyes at him.Max straightened on his

“So it's true what they said, you truly are unable to return to your human form,” Lilian jumped to Max’s side, grabbing hold of his arm, though the man remained perfectly still like a statue.He didn’t want to make idle chit-chat knowing what it meant for her to be there. Max could feel the veins on the side of his head beginning to throb, making him feel like his head was being hit by a large mallet. The woman did not pay any attention, continuing to play her fingers on his chest, even though his face was already crumpling and he was letting out soft growls of protest.Finally having enough Max pulled his arms away before giving the woman a sharp stare. “You say she has put a curse on me, so tell me now, what kind of magic is it exactly?” he grumbles, face still showing those hard lines.Lilian’s brow rises after being pushed back but like always she just laughs it off, unfazed by the act. “I don

There was a loud commotion when Karilaya opened her eyes again, she was now starting to feel her blood slowly freezing in her veins, causing her whole body to feel a prickling numbness. She ended up whimpering when she tried to move, she almost cried out when she felt the sting on her leg but was unable to do so because she felt the ache in her throat when she tried to make a sound.Soldiers marched back and forth carrying wood, pulling ropes, grunting as they raised the covering red tent along with its poles. Wizards surrounded a huge totem that was tied up to a wagon, chanting as they raised their hands to it. The pole began to emanate a blue glow before letting out a blast that covered their surroundings in a bluish light.It created a ringing sound for a while before the cold strong winds and the drops of water had finally stopped. Outside the bluish light, the rain continued to pour, which only meant that the forcefield was able to keep the elements ou
