I gasped upon hearing that endearment. I heard it from more than five miles away but I was quick to hear that word. I couldn't be mistaken. I heard it right. I was called honeydew. I was horrified when I looked in the direction where I had left Valerie. My heart was racing since I had this hunch that it might be Valerian."Shit..." I was suddenly terrified at what was happening when it shouldn't be.Did he happen to see my disguise? Or was Valerian there the whole time?Or..."Is he Valerie?" I clutched my left chest from the conclusion I had reached.Did he also change his identity into a woman? Did I guess it correctly? And the way Valerie kept approaching and how she acted was the same Valerian I knew... was Valerian the whole time?Did this mean he was wearing incantation jewelry that could conceal his scent and change his identity, just like I was doing?"Oh, my Moon Goddess..." I had shivers down my spine, stepping back. How did he know? I was careful at that time.He couldn't

"Oh? I am frightened by such an empty promise," I said sardonically. But I knew that was a wrong move since challenging Valerian was inviting me to a more severe injury for certain.He smirked, shaking his head. "Keep making such satirical remarks, Dominixe. I shall make sure that you are going to regret that." With that, he tested his belt's suppleness before reaching for my hands. "What are you doing?" I asked, wanting to be touched already.My longing for his touch had infiltrated my whole being. My body was already on fire right now."Making you feel helpless," he said huskily before he used his belt to tie my hands together.My wolf and I were more aroused by what he was doing. Did he say helpless? I did not think that was the case. I did not see that I was helpless. In fact, I found myself being pleased by this man for my own good.Valerian put my hands on top of my head. "Now, be a good girl for me, honeydew."I raised my head to bite his lower lip and stretched it out before

I fell asleep crying and kept muttering that I was sorry for what I had done to Valerian in the past. Even though Valerian did not understand what was happening, he was there for me and consoled me.I only woke up when I felt a presence beside me. I was quick to fish out my pocket knife and hastily pointed to that intruder. However, I was too late to realize that the hyacinth scent lingered in my nose, and I was surprised when Valerian managed to stop me."Whoa there." He smiled sheepishly. "Is that your way to greet your mate a morning, honeydew?"I looked at him, baffled. I questioned how on earth he was on my bed, but then I remembered that we were both naked under the sheets.Our lovemaking suddenly flashed in my mind.I yanked back my arm. "My apologies. I thought you were an intruder." I placed my knife on the bedside table and tried to stand up, but then I collapsed to the bed. Then I hissed, feeling sore down there, and glared at Valerian, who was still smiling."Have I said t

"Lady Dominixe, you are being rough on us for today..." Eric complained when they were still sitting on the grass, panting heavily after I had bestowed them the harsh reality of being near to death experience.I arched my eyebrow and eyed them, seeing that they were covered with bruises and bathing in their own blood after piercing my sword to the ground to make their eyes widen in horror. "You dare to complain? With your skills, how can you even protect me as your mistress?" I sounded like I was belittling them.I had no problem with their fighting skills. I only said I wanted to enhance and protect them at all costs, so I had to be rough on them. I just did not want to see them dying before my eyes again. I cherished them, so the vigorous training would help them protect themselves if Papa dared to hunt them with his henchmen."But, Lady Dominixe...""Oi, Eric. Will you shut up?" Jude hit Eric on his head, who was already frowning. He looked at me and bowed his head, apologizing. "O

Valerian sounded like he would not let me go if I chose not to dance with him. I could tell based on how he was looking at me."Well?" He wriggled his eyebrows. His sly smile was something.He looked so dashing and beguiling. It was making me want to be fucked by him right now.The tension between us was palpable. Both of us did not break eye contact. This was making me feel the butterflies in my stomach."I am famished, Your Grace. I haven't eaten anything yet. My apologies," I said before directing my attention to the food.But while doing that, I was looking for my siblings who were busy with their peers. I wanted to mindlink one of them since being Valerian was dangerous, knowing he looked so angry under that apathetic expression.I thought Valerian would give up on me, but I thought wrong. No, I already knew, but I chose to ignore the fact."I am famished, too. I remember my food is right here," he said meaningfully. Valerian went behind me again as he leaned and reached for some
