It was so obvious that I had been weeping for a very long with the way my face was. My face was bloodless, my eyes were completely red and swollen and I had had running nose. The cab man who drove me home kept on asking me what was wrong with me but I didn't answer him. He even wanted to get me off saying he couldn't keep a dumbass in his car. Maybe he was right, i was a dumbass, this was all my fault. Being a member of the Arrowhead pack family was my fault, being their servant was my fault, getting married to Lustrow was my fault, accepting to work as a teacher when Lustrow didn't want me to was also my fault, I knew it. I begged to just take me home because I didn't want to get to get down but he gave me conditions saying if I cried again he would throw me out without even thinking of its consequences. I agreed but I was still weeping inside of me because I couldn't just stop the tears from dropping on. Getting off the cab and paying the cab man, he gripped my arm. "You need to tak

"But Lustrow... What is in there in your pocket that you showed to Kevyra that made her gasp? I actually saw you, I just ignored it because I did not know what it meant... I thought it was perhaps a husband and wife thing. Did you quieten her intentionally?" Ow! So, he saw him when he did that? I looked at Lustrow whose countenance suddenly became puzzled and rough. He palpebrated his eyes repeatedly and looked at Alpha Ailwyn again, with a look of 'what did you just say'. I looked up at him, now waiting for what he was going to say, while Luna Dessa slowly stood up from me. "Dad...? What do you mean? What did I show to Kevyra. What are you insinuating dad..? That I didn't want Kevyra to talk... I don't geddit, please." "Can you just show me what's in there in your pocket? You mom was suspicious of you, she suspected that you did this to Kevyra but I doubted it until I saw that menacing glower you sent to her... So show me what is there." Thank goodness! Now they

"Hope you have got an excuse for the cuts and bruises on your face... You dare not tell anyone that I am the one who hit you, or are you planning to? I can get you -" Lustrow suddenly puased as if he was choked on his saliva but his eyes were dilated as he looked up, his head tilted up and if was as if he just saw a ghost in the room, he looked very shocked and horrified that even I had begun to fear. He slowly swallowed and blinked and slowly he released his clutch on my wrist. Oh, just with his grip my wrist had bruised. What could have make him look so scared to death? I thought. I was in a laying position, my head facing the ceiling so I managed myself up despite how painful my ribs were, to see what was going on behind me and that was when caught the sight of the figure... Leoric.. standing at the entrance of the room with a bouquet of flowers and a board, with three words inscribed on it, *I AM SORRY* in his hand. He looked angry and shocked, now leering at I and Lustrow. I

I and Lustrow quietly stared at each other with smiling faces for a long while. I saw his eyes deliberately travel from my head down to my toes and then back again. His expression was still not saying anything and perhaps it was, I was the one who could not decipher what it was but I could at least feel the intensity from his eyes as he looked at me, giving me confidence that maybe he really found me attractive, the way I looked... All these was for him though. It wasn't because I didn't have enough confidence in myself, I knew that I looked beautiful, especially that night, but this man right in front of me was a whole other stage. I wouldn't blame him if he turned around suddenly and told her I barely passed his standard. Yes, that was the kind of person he was, unpredictable and short-tempered, only goodness knows how his family coped with it, whenever he was angry he usually lost his mind, he wouldn't know he was ripping your shirt of hurling negative words at you. I eve

"Come along with me Kevyra... We need to talk." The way Lustrow just spoke I knew something was not right if not everything. He came home this late, seeing I and Luna Dessa together and without any greetings he said that..? Although, I knew he said we need to talk because of Luna Dessa... Ever since I got married to Lustrow we never had any conversation... I mean couples conversation.. He said that so it would sound like he wanted to have a normal couple discussion with me for Luna Dessa not go suspect that all wasn't well. He looked irritated though, but I didn't know why he was. Could it be that he didn't want to see me together with his mother? No, that was not possible, I thought as I watched him leave. Instead of me getting scared, for I didn't know why he wanted me to come with him, I was actually curious to know why he called me this time. Though, he had left immediately he said that. "I think you should go meet Lustrow now, when Lisa arrives, I and her will continue wit
