*Making Life Changing Choices*Meadow laughed hard and Caleb began to chuckle. Craig sighed with frustration and remained quiet."Crista is a really smart woman Craig, she would have realized you were hovering around them too often. Don't worry, I am sure she will change her mind when you tell her the truth. Because you are going to tell her the truth, right?" Meadow told him and he frowned."I can wait for her to be gone first, and then court Bella..." Craig said and Caleb shook his head."I bet even you don't believe in that to be possible... you crave to be near her since the moment you left. I felt as if a piece of me was missing each time I had to be away from Meadow, I know you must be feeling the same." Caleb pointed out.Craig sighed again and looked through the window. "I really don't know what to do.""We have plenty to do here Caleb, but I am sure Alex can take care of the reconstruction while we make a trip? I would love to see Crista again and maybe I can ease some o

*The Kiss*As Bella walked into her mother's room, she was bearing a bright smile. "Hi mother, I am sorry, I found Craig at the entrance and he told me you were with Meadow, so I waited there."Crista smiled to her daughter and kissed her cheeks as she waited for her to sit at her side. She then saw Craig standing at the door with his head down. "Hello Craig, it is very nice to see you again, please come in."He walked in slowly, closing the door behind him. Then he took a deep breath and turned to see Crista. "Hello Crista, I am glad to see you are better, and I heard you are coming out tomorrow."The woman nodded and smiled, she was a little nervous too. Not long ago she found out who Craig really was and what her daughter was to him. She still had trouble completely believing in what Meadow told her but it was hard to deny the truth when Meadow herself had shifted in front of her.Craig offered Bella her school bag and she giggled taking it from him, turning around to speak to

He observed her new routine, as it was not the same as before; she was still working on the same bar, but no longer did she work at the Library. He thought it odd, she seemed like the kind of woman who would prefer the books than serving other people. Instead, she was working one shift but with extra hours. At least, she had been doing so for the last four nights. It took him that long to decide to go and introduce himself to her.She locked the bar as her shift finished, and with her handbag tightly pressed to her arm, she started walking to the bus stop, the one that was three blocks away.He watched her walk cautiously and rush her steps as she got closer; he didn't interrupt her at any moment, he wanted to make sure she got home safe.She walked out of the bus and headed to the humble apartment building where she lived; she made a stop on the first floor, where she gave Miss Hather a bag with leftovers for her dinner. The other bag had some for herself, and she felt more than ha

He kept his unamused look as his brother chuckled. "You will kill everyone if you get on that bus. I don't get why you haven't indulged yourself in some human privileges… You have the gold, the money will buy you everything you need," He might not like it, but his brother was making a point."I did not know for sure how the new world would be. Now I see only a few things have changed," He answered."You will be fine in the new world, you have adjusted very well so far. I only want to meet her to see who she was…".Those words only made Kyrios frown."I don't even want to know how you met her in the past," He added.Aeneas chuckled again, but then changed to a more peaceful smile as Zareen walked into the room. He extended his arm and took her hand in his. Then he guided her to his side. "I am intrigued, that is all. But I am not going to push you for more. Do follow my advice, please. I can show you how, as I have been doing it for centuries."He then got up and bowed to Zareen. "T

As soon as she sat, he took the seat in front of her. He decided he had to go on with all he had in his mind. "Eloise… after today, I will never bother you again…" He started, and her eyes widened, a new fear formed in her. "I am here to make sure you are safe, and you are well, but I noticed that the lack of humanity in me is only hurting you. I am not happy about this, and I wish I could change it, but it might be too late for a creature like me to change anything…" As he spoke those words, he felt more and more obliged to be honest. "I sensed your scent in my brother, and the essence behind it made me feel in a way long forgotten. I wanted nothing more than to meet you, be with you… I sensed what it is my soulmate in you Eloise, and that scared me…" He paused to let the words sink in for her, and she was absolutely shocked of what she was hearing. "The world was changing, and I was one of those fighting for that change… all while my mind was set in you… I am a beast, it is my nature
