I dialed his number and waited for a reply. It was a fast response.“Wow.” Hearing wow from his mouth really annoyed me. “You can call me after you made friends with Liam.”“Excuse me? How is my friend making any problem for you?”“He’s my business rival. Don’t get to close to him or he’ll try to get to me through you.”“Liam isn’t like that. He’s a sweet guy.”There was a short laugh over the phone. “You hardly know him and you’ve figured that he’s sweet.”“Don’t get me wrong but… Never mind. I’ll call Liam instead.”“Wait! Wait!” I smiled. Good thing he couldn’t see me. “Why are you begging? You feel that Liam will get me before you do.”He laughed again but it was rather a pathetic laugh. “I’ve already gotten you.”I laughed. “Don’t be so sure.”“To prove that you do, dress up and let me in when I reach your house. I’ll be there in the blink of an eye.”“You don’t have my address. If I don’t give you how will you get here, then?”“I have my ways.”Elliot was unbelievable. His over

“It’s clear that I’ve already done that.”She looked up to him with her pretty watery emerald eyes. “When?”“Wasn’t I the one that made you clean my room? I forced Brit down your throat.”“So we’re even?”“If you say so.”She laughed. That laugh unclouded her brain and made her body temperature normal. Elliot picked her off the floor and cleaned her tears.“Don’t you ever wonder why I was ready to kill myself so I wouldn’t be with you?”He dressed her scattered hair. “Why?” he asked, giving eye contact.“My family was always a holy one. My father did his best to instill utmost holiness into us. I followed it but I didn’t know how my siblings could still harbor hatred for him. It was all a f*****d up sham. They did terrible things to me. Why do terrible things always happen to me?”“That’s why you left me?”“No, I was so obedient to our holy ways. It was sudden, you were the devil and I was the holy Queen of Halton. Anyone else would have done the same.”“Am I that horrifying?”She lau

I got down from his bed and looked for him. I couldn’t find him anywhere. I faced the vintage wall clock and interpreted the time. It was seven minutes past seven. I wondered when he brought me here.He’s such a sneaky scoundrel. I glanced at what I wore. I was in a white nightdress. I panicked, was it Elliot who changed my clothes. I wouldn’t take it lightly with him. I might be his mate but I deserved respect too.I cooled my anger and searched for food. There was nothing edible in his room. It was frustrating.Someone knocked at the door. I ran towards it, hoping he was the one. I opened it but saw Nora instead. She smiled and entered the room.“Good morning, Miss Halton. How was your night?”I didn’t believe it. The same woman who was my senior some days ago became my maid today. This type of lifestyle was lavish. I loved it.“Once again, call me Lexa.” My mouth watered when my eyes met with the delicious tray of breakfast she had in her hand.A glass cup of freshly squeezed oran

He went to page 400 where Seareign’s story started.Some boring history of Seareign started it. Elliot skipped through the pages, looking for anything useful. He was a speedy reader. Lexa saw how fast his eyes moved along the lines of the sentences.Lexa’s eyes caught a page. It had the picture of a seawater gate. Elliot didn’t notice it and was about to flip away but she stopped him. She took the book and went a few pages back. “Look, this page is talking about Seareign’s gate.”Elliot smiled at Lexa before looking down to the pages.

We were at the shore where our submarine was kept. Lexa was excited to see a submarine. She only saw ones on TV, thoughtless of entering her personal one.Lexa’s life slowly changed since Elliot entered it. Her life was boring and pathetic. She knew that something important was missing in her life from the day she entered High school. She always wondered why she was different, why she wasn’t like the rest.She knew why. She was never complete. Her mate wasn’t in her life then. She always knew that an important part of her was missing. She became complete the first day she met him.He was her miracle.Elliot talked to the man in charge of the submarine. Lexa stood beside them, waiting for the discussion to end.“Bring it to the shore. I want to impress her.”He winked at me. The man smiled and shook his hand before leaving.“Pray those eyes of yours won’t put you in trouble.”“I’m so scared,” he said sarcastically.“Remember I have more powers than you.”He removed his phone from his p

The light from the submarine stopped the attacking sharks for a second but they were more brutal in their next blows. It’d be hard for Lexa to drive with the nonstop blows but she wouldn’t give up. Elliot was scared. He hoped she was safe. There was only way he could help her at that time. He swam back into the cave. He would have used scissors instead but… “Here goes nothing.” He gently placed his hand on three hairs of the snake. The snake shook but he placed it back. With closed eyes, he pulled the hair of the snake. The snake’s white eyes shot opened. It let out a wild cry that woke the rest. All the snakes put their attention on Elliot. For that split moment in his life, he almost fainted on seeing the white eyes. He didn’t move and neither did the snakes. He knew their nose holes were working because he could see them moving. They roared and swam towards him. Lexa was moving recklessly. She couldn’t balance the movement of the two sides. She span in circles, turned upside

I walked round the lair. Reminding myself of the little but cherishable memories I once had with the dark quiet place. Liam was in the room and he was as patient as ever, sipping on his fifth cup of water. He wouldn't accept anything else from me. I understood 'cause I would never drink another witch's tea. We are evilly unpredictable.I, as an experienced and learned witch, knew it took time to make a love pearl but impatience was a common attribute of a witch.The kids were taken care of and put to bed.

There was only one thing he loved so much that I could take away

I could still hear myself screaming even after we stopped. Elliot rolled his eyes and placed his hands over my mouth then kissed my neck. That cooled me down."Easy, didn't you say you were ready?""That's not funny."My heart was beating hard. I was sure Elliot could hear it but he said nothing. I realized why when I looked towards the underwater city. It was breathtaking. Colorful fishes ruled the waters and stone made roads indicated the paths.The houses were nothing like ours. They were short and of different unwordly colors. Their windows were just child-made holes in senseless areas of the buildings. The houses were small but because they lived underground too, there was no need to build tall buildings like ours.The doors were made of different things, nets, coral bars, strings of beads and pearls, the weakest rotten wood... The shops and stalls looked like they were designed by children. I wanted to call the place a village until we reached the deeper parts of the city.Neon
