Chapter 3

-Minerva the Enchantress-

It was warm and I wanted to stay in bed because I know that it will be cold if I got up. But a warm breath is on my neck and snore in a low sound immediately get me up to my senses. I open my eyes to see an arm around me. His face is shoved on the crook of my neck. I turn my face a little to see him.

He is handsome with long eyelashes, pointed nose, and kissable lips. His jaw is strong and the shape of his face is a rectangular diamond. He had a broken chin and small hairs there. His eyebrows are thick and it makes him manlier. His lips are a bit open almost pressing on my neck.

I look around the room and the beam of light is peeking on the dark curtains. I saw another paper bag on the couch and warm boots. Then on the floor are the cushions that I make as the barrier between us. I rolled my eyes. He wanted to rush everything. I shouldn't let him slept beside me.

I froze him with my magic and slipped from the bed then I defrost him. I removed the sweater then I walk to the couch pulling the dress. It was white again and with a long sleeve. It was plain and straight. Great... I need another thing to do. I went to the map on the small board that is pinned on the wall. I took the pin and grabbed the scissor.

I looked at myself in the mirror and stare at the dress that I am wearing. I need some clothing that is thick and warm. I went to his closet and found his clothes. What isn't he wearing? Then I found a white cloth, I guess he is not going to use this. Then there's a thick black cloth too. I took then I levitate the scissor and cut it.

I use my magic to levitate the dress too. Then I started sewing it with a needle and thread that I got on the drawer. I stopped and put it down. I still have to think about the design. Then I pull up my dress dropping it on the floor then I grabbed the paper bag and walk to the bathroom.

I take a bath for 15 minutes and brush my teeth in another 15 minutes thinking about the design of the dress. I wiped my body. Put my underwear on and grabbed the oversize robe that is hanging on the book and put it on. I stepped out from the bathroom wiping my hair. Then I face the couch and levitate the dress and the clothing together with needle and thread.

I was thinking about how to do it. I will put the black clothing under then I will cut a slipped in the middle of the dress to emphasize the black under. Then I will make a small jacket that is cut on the waist by the black and white clothing. That will be perfect. I need a little sparkle so I throw some magic to put the sparkle on the dress.

Then it's done. I smiled at my new job well-done dress. I removed the bathrobe letting it fall on the floor. I had stopped when someone grabbed me and pinned me on the mattress of the bed in fast movement. I looked at his puffy eyes. He smirked at me and I just gave him a poker face. He bent his head closer to me.

'I like your bikini... it's too sexy...' he whispers in my ear that makes my cat hairs stood in that area to my nape. I rolled my eyes and pushed him but damn he was strong. 'I always imagine that you are flawless inside and outside.' He whispered again even sexier.

'If you didn't fuck off, I will use my magic to snap you.'

'Don't...' he said in that sexy voice. He brushes his lips on the crook of my neck down to my shoulder while he is breathing. I gape and sipped some air. 'I wanted to mark you... please... I wanted to get in your thoughts.'

I tense up. I don't want him to mark me. I don't want him to get in my thoughts. I pushed him with all of my force and I pinned him on the bed with my magic. He can't even move. Then I run to the couch on my dress then I put it on. I brush my hair with my hand then I walk out of the room with the boots in my hand.

Rica gasped at my sudden appearance but I ignore her slamming the door of his room. Then I walk briskly downstairs.

'Minerva!' he calls. I wear my boots and walk to the telephone that is on the wall. I pick it up and dialed numbers. 'Please... don't leave yet...' he grabbed my arm snatching the phone from me.

'Don't you dare!' I push him and lift my hand in front of him that makes him freeze. I pull the phone from him and call the Blue Moon palace. Someone had picked it up. 'Sent men that will pick me up here, in New Moon right now!' I order.

Yes, Minerva.

I face Yves and glare at him. I freed him and punched him through his face. His lips bleed and I massage my fist. I feel like I had punched a metal. My fist bones are red and it's aching.

'Okay, tell me what the hell is wrong! Why are you like this to me?! I am your mate. Instead of accepting me as your half, you keep pushing me away. Tell me Minerva so I won't get crazy here thinking what the fuck is going on with my mate!' he shouts at me.

'I don't like you. I stop wishing to have you. You are impatient and always in rush.'

'Is that it?! I can change that for you!'

'No! I had made up my mind. I can't reject you because it's the rule. But I can't accept you as my half.' I had lowered my voice before the people in this house wakes up because of us.

'What?' he furrows. He snatched my arms pulling it closer to him. I tilt my head back to avoid my face collide with his. 'What do you mean by that?'

'Simple. Let's live in a normal way. You can flirt with anyone but you cannot mark them nor have sex with them. If you did it, it will only mean that you are rejecting me. Then I have no choice but to punish you.'

'I am not going to do that! You are my half!'

'Then, let's just live as strangers ignoring the bond between us.' I said in monotonous without any expression.

'No! I cannot approve that!' he gripped my arm.

'You will and you ought to. I am not going to reject you but I can't love you.'

The expression that I hate to see is to see him slowly breaking into pieces. I know that it will hurt him but it was never the same as the pain that I have been through.

'Don't do this to me... please... I have been wishing you...'

'You have?' I wanted to laugh at it. His shoulders dropped on what I had said.
