A/N: This is set 5 years later

Today Dracula and Satan are set to renew their wedding vows. Their children have noticed the positive change in the atmosphere, and are more lobbing than ever.

Dracula and Satan both quit their jobs, and now work together in their real estate firm, with Satan taking care of the legal things and Dracula taking care of everything else. This somehow brought them closer.

Vivian was now eight, and Olivia was now seven. They were to be there to witness their parents renewing their wedding vows. When their father moved back home they were ecstatic. Now every weekend, the small family  had fun together.

Satan was now pregnant with a baby boy. Being six months along, Dracula decided she was now to work from home, instead of at the office. They had redecorated the nursery to be 'fit for a prince', as the girls put it.

Hades and his wife had divorced due to the fact that he didn't try to make amends. Now he only saw his children on the weekends. He moved to the other side of the city after the divorce and lives with his fiancée of two years, their wedding date is for the 29th of August, and is to be only family and friends.

Artemis and Satan have a day out together at least once a month. They now both have overflowing closets. Yet every time someone tried to persuade them to declutter they claim they will wear everything in there and later complain they have nothing to wear.

All in all, everything was bliss for everyone, almost. Three years ago Nyx died of lung cancer and left her family and friends heartbroken. Satan put on her brave face and pretends to be alright, but talks about her pain to her husband. 

Everyone has moved passed what happened five years ago and it isn't brought up. Unless someone from their outer circle asks them about it. None of them are ashamed of what happened, therefore, explains what happened in a quick two minute version.

A/N: This is the official end of Satan's story. I have another novel, called 'I'm The Alpha's Assassin Mate'. On which, I do two uploads a week. Thank you for reading.

"I want you to know, I have been feeling this way since  the day you kicked me out."

"Let me guess. Hatred?"

"At first it was, but then that night, I lied."

"..." Satan was speechless. Dracula could see that.

"When I said it would take time to forgive you. I had already forgiven you."

"Why would you let me think that you hated me? I cried that night out of guilt and sadness!"– Satan was getting angered, her voice raised with each word –" I love you and you let me think you hate me. The only man I have ever loved."

"I'm really sorry. I had no idea. Can I please tell you how I really feel now?"

Satan took a deep breath to calm herself. "Yes, you may."

"I "...........

"Well, this definitely was a rare occasion," Mao Mao remarked.
The Sheriff's Department had come to Pure Heart Valley's royal palace on request to the king. Naturally, they thought there was an emergency after hearing the king's alarm, but upon entering, they were greeted with perhaps the most mundane of surprises. 
"Are we done yet?" Badgerclops complained while playing a game on his phone. "I wanna go home already."
"Almost there," Mao Mao replied. "You're lucky the king doesn't declutter as much as we do."
"I didn't know he had things that don't bring him joy," Adorabat commented, "I thought he was joyful about everything."
The items that King Snugglemagne chose to throw away left the palace in quick order, piled upon cart after cart. Ignoring the king's jovial words about finally having more space in his palace for...whatever vanity projects he had in mind, Mao Mao happened across a particular item on one of the passing junk carts.
"Wait, what's that?" he said out loud, prompting the guard pushing the cart to stop and allowing the sheriff to walk over and pick up the thing.
It was a small and thin storybook, one that seemed worn and dusty from spending an amount of time sitting on a shelf and going unread.
The king was right next to Mao Mao as he saw what was being held in the sheriff's hand. "Oh, that's just an old children's book written from the time of my ancestors. I remember it being read to me in my earliest youth."
"Don't you still want it?" Adorabat asked innocently.
"Goodness, no!" Snugglemagne objected with a repulsed flick of his wrist. "It is old, barely of much use, and a rather ghastly thing, frankly!" With a swish of his cape, he turned around and walked back into his palace without sparing another glance to his employed guests. "If it is of interest to you, then by all means, you may have it."
The trio looked back at the book held in Mao Mao's hands. 
"Let's read it!" Adorabat squealed. "I wanna see what it's about!"
"Dude, same!" Badgerclops joined in. "You know how weird old stuff usually is!"
Mao Mao took another glance over the book's delicate hardcover. "Alright then, but let's save it for tonight. Need to get in the mood…"
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later at night, when it was almost time to hit the hay, the three were comfortably nestled on their triple-decker bunk bed. 
Mao Mao sat on the bottom bunk with his legs crossed and the book on his lap. Adorabat sat next to Mao Mao so that she could have a good close look at what was in the book, once Mao Mao opened it anyway. Badgerclops was content to just look down from his top bunk, lying on his belly with his head and hands hanging down from the edge. 
"Okay then, ready for what may possibly be content meant for minors but proven unsuitable by today's standards?" Mao Mao asked with anticipation in his voice. 
"Yay!" Adorabat cheered. "That's how I sleep at night!"
"Let's get this bedtime story started," Badgerclops concurred from above.
Mao Mao nodded in response to the confident affirmation. He opened the book and began to read:

In the middle of helping the royal palace clear out junk, Mao Mao discovers an old storybook once held by the king's royal ancestors. Taking it back to HQ, he and his friends read it as a bedtime story, and end up fascinated by how much it seemed to resonate with what they thought they knew.

I woke up this morning feeling awesome ,so I put music on full blast,perks of living alone my mom would have told me to turn it down lest her eardrums burst.I declutter everything occasionally getting distracted by things I came across,don't judge me because you know you do it too.

I then do pilates.After rewarding my critical but stable body with a long refreshing shower ,I decide to head to Sandwich Inc and finish my assignment before my lecture.

Sandwich Inc is by far my favorite cafe,it has grey and white wallpaper,a banjo hung on the wall showing her Mexican heritage and has pictures of Gemma's family members from previous generations.When Gemma inherited the cafe she expanded it and now it has grown into a franchise.It may be modernized but it still has a homey feel to it.

I look up and see Gemma beaming as she brings my order.Gemma is simply put stunning she has a very pretty face with warm features and a petite body you'd never believe she has a twenty three year old daughter.She is aging gracefully.

'What are you working on hon?'she asks as she places my sandwich on my table.

'Thank you,ohhhh this is just my assignment on the reactivity...' 

'And that's how you loose me,have a wonderful day sunshine.'

With a grin on my face I continue doing my work .I bob my head to the music really feeling the music.
You know that feeling you get when someone is staring at you ,well I'm currently having it,so I look around and seated two tables behind me is a group of men seeming to be deep in conversation but Mr StareALot was just yeah you guessed it starring.
I'm near sighted so I can't make out his features so I just go back to work but I get lazy plus SAL wouldn't stop yup you guessed it staring so I just decide I'll complete it later and I was just starting to enjoy it.

I look at my phone and realize I have an hour to spare.I think of going home but I realize I'll probably feel lazy to go to school altogether.

Now I know it's weird but I hate it when people nudge or poke me it drives me insane ,yeah I know you probably thinking how dramatic well bite me.So you can imagine my face when I turn to see who nudged or poked me I am too irritated  to decide.

I quickly sober up though when I see who it is,SAL.He is in simple terms a gorgeous being,it is his eyes most of all that had me melting.Windows to a whole new....

'Pull yourself together idiot you're embarrassing me acting like this is your first time meeting the male species which happens to be God's gift to men',who's talking you wonder ahhhh that's Miss KnowALot aka my inner voice that for some reason makes it a point to make me question myself.Is that what they are for?
'Hi bella my name is Nick,I couldn't help but notice how beautiful you are ',said SAL flashing me a dazzling smile.

'Don't blow it kiddo!' 

'Oh wait don't tell me ,you're the kind of guy who thinks just because he's rich ',I eyed his immaculate suit no doubt costed more than my tuition,'and has a cute face,he can just flash a smile and boom panties drop.You gonna have to find your next victim elsewhere because I'm not the least fluttered.'
After my little speech I stormed out my  Sandwich in hand leaving behind me what looked to me like a gapping fish.

Imagine the nerve of that man he probably used that line on a dozen of women today alone.Argh I'd never allow myself to succumb to love nonsense it all ends the same for me atleast and most women I know,HEARTBREAK.Love is just a bunch of chemical reactions anyway and it's for losers.
'Great going Aka just great at the rate you going we gonna need at least fifty cats',

'Shut Up KAL.'

Aka stared at the woman in front of her and she  could not recognize her.She had a smile that could light up New York City after dark.Now,her mom had dark circles and bags under her eyes probably from lack of sleep.But what broke Aka's heart the most was her mother's eyes,they looked...dead,like a light had been switched off.
It was this day,Aka,the once incurable romantic vowed to never fall in love lest she ends up looking like her mom,completely helpless in pain.
This seems to be working for Simi in fact her life is going well until Nick comes......

This was what a typical day of a Beta/Alpha's Dog/Killion, 22 years old, unmated male, white healing wolf looked like:

4AM Wake up for run in wolf form, because since he was naked anyway, he might as well. TMI Killion, but I took note that if I ever wanted to prank him, never ever to enter his room or pull off his blanket from now on. 

4.45AM Start cooking breakfast for family. Prepare lunch boxes for Savy and me. Check phone for emails, schedules, etc while food is on stove. 

5.20AM Eat Breakfast and clean up in kitchen. Start work on laptop. Reply emails.

6.30AM Start laundry. Clean up after rest of family has eaten breakfast and left. Mum helps. See what assistance Mum might need today. Check in with Harvey and Ben on mindlink to synchronise schedule. 

7.15AM Change and report for Warrior Patrol Duty. 

8.30AM Home. Shower. 

9.00AM Make phone calls, update schedules and tasks lists. Send business reminders, follow up. 

10.00AM Go to the pack house gym. 

10.45AM Run errands if any. If not, clean the house, plan goddess' outfits, stock take around house, or prep ingredients for future meals. 

11.30AM Prepare lunch

12.30PM Lunch break

1.30PM Beta Work *
Mon/Wed Report Beta Gerald. 
Tue/Thur Report Beta Lucas
Fri-Sun Report Harvey
*Subject to whether Goddess or Luna requires his presence

4.30PM Continue prep dinner. Laundry. Last email 
*Except Tuesdays, drive out to pick up goddess after club. 

6.30PM Final dinner preparations. 

7.00PM Dinner with family

7.45PM Clean up after dinner. Wipe down dining table and kitchen counters.

8.30PM Declutter shared spaces. Prepare school bag, print outs, and uniform for goddess. Plan meals, update schedules and lists, clean sink. 

9.45PM Downtime. Sometimes he goes out for another run before bedtime. Sometimes he goes to the packhouse gym if he hadn't (this body shape needed to be carefully sculpted, you know). Sometimes he drives out to town for drinks with the other warrior wolves he had befriended.

"How is your schedule even humanly possible?" I asked. 

"I'm an adult werewolf." Killion reminded me, "Plus I'm a white wolf, I can speed up recovery when I sleep." 

Another stupid way to use a white wolf's power if you asked me. 

Even if you speed up physical healing, wouldn't your mind need more downtime than this? 

"You need to give yourself time to dream." I told him. 

"All my dreams are nightmares, goddess." He told me. Then he shrugged it off lightly, "It's a side effect of the bad things I did in my previous life."

I looked at him. How should I say this? What could I say? Sometimes the things that bind us are within ourselves. 

But one day, I hope Ki will be free to dream again, and fall in love again, and be happy again. 

For now, I understand, not quite with my mind, but with my heart, "You'll be okay, Ki." I told him. I was never the touchy feely type... not very Alpha. Until recently, I had not even hugged by my own parents for a long time. (I have issues too, you know).

He was sitting right beside him, so I bumped my forehead against his shoulder, "You can stay with me." 

It was a perfectly normal wolf head nudge, even though we were in our human forms. Killion startled as if surprised by it, then he smiled, "Goddess, I will follow you till I die." 

"Well, then I guess I should expect to have you around for a long time yet." I grinned at him.

Savy and mum were smiling too. 

Mum quipped, "Well, if you ever change your mind, Ki. You're always welcome to stay with Alpha and me." 

We laughed. 

"Mum! Stop trying to poach my beta!" I joked back. 

I guess this new normal life AK (After Ki) was here to stay for a while, which was nice. Very easy and comfortable type of nice. 

Now if only the drilling would stop! Oh wait, no... That was my family's home being rebuilt. Sigh. If they stopped, wouldn't we be squashed in this apartment for longer? I mean it's all very comfortable here and all, but I noticed things are piled up on Savy's bed and the floors are getting creamed with Savy's mess. 

I knew she had been trying to keep her stuff in her space, but the room wasn't that large. Also, I didn't have a desk and my books and files and bag are cramped on one dresser top. No easy feat. The pile grew bigger by the day, and it wasn't easy looking for any document in particular. 

I kind of felt bad that Mate might show up anytime in my bed so Savy couldn't even change in her own room. And if Lizzy stayed over, I couldn't retreat to my own room either.

And I really missed the freedom of being able to just walk out and run without having to take a lift or meet anyone downstairs and being asked, "Going for a run?"  

So the faster the drilling got done and our family home got built, the better! Keep on drilling!!!

Big-hearted and witty, Samantha Kingsley is the Alpha's daughter who grew up learning to meet everyone's expectations. But Samantha isn't a pup anymore, she's in high school now, and is just about to discover that her life is written by her choices. Not by dreams, or prophecies, or even the moon goddess. This girl is going to protect the happiness of her pack and everyone she loves.

Updated every night.

Volume Synopsis
VOL 1
It's the first week of school. Despite my failed attempt to make a friend, I somehow ended up surrounded by a handful of wolf classmates, got accepted by the human "cool" girls, and became a vampire's guard dog? 


VOL 2
I think I'm just starting to get the hang of school. From navigating school halls, new friends, vampires, and school clubs... 
Back home it should have been the usual drill, but things started shifting. And I urm...might have been messing around where I shouldn't.


VOL 3
I had to miss a couple of school days this week due to my ah, long term bout of "anemia". It's been pretty intense at home. My alpha position was challenged, rogues burnt down our home, I rescued my first fight dog, discovered the Lorent's secret oracle, almost rescued my mate...and accidentally stumbled into my Alpha Dad's secret.


VOL 4
My worlds collide as some members from my pack come to my school to sell concert tickets. And when Grandpa Alpha shocked us all by dying, my dad's family comes together to pay their last respects at the Night Forest Pack. 


VOL 5
It's February and the Vampire Queen is celebrating her birthday. Would Rebel's plan to escape work out? Meanwhile, I'm stuck in school dealing with high school drama, an evolving wolf, and a new human sister. In the Red Packlands, war nearly breaks out. (This might have been a very little bit my fault.)

VOL 6
It's the week of Valentine's Day, but I've got a highschool play, Lorent drama, Vampire slaying training, and an underground army to deal with first. And then warlock weather threw an extended snowstorm at us. The whole of Green Packlands goes into lockdown - but what about Valentine's Day?

VOL 7
Exams are a week away, and it feels like my time at Winderhill is really coming to a close. I'm trying to be a good student, but there are paparazzi camped outside my school, I ran with rogues (I'm shocked too), Maria just had to enter her dark cycle in school...My life is too exciting to study for exams.

VOL 8
It's exam week, but I've got far greater problems brewing at home. The prophecies are merging. River's stone had unlocked warlock trouble, the rogue king has moved in, and then there's Uncle Louis' economical problems... one at a time. Just let me survive Code Black and figure out what's going on at Heller's first, and I'm sure everything else will work out somehow.

Inna… Inna… Inna…

Ingrid bit her lip as she contemplated.

She was that girl who had the same name as her, right?

That Ingrid called 'Inna.'

And that 'Inna' was most probably that 'Nana' as well. After all, there was no syllable 'Na' in her name so it can only be that girl.

Ingrid furrowed her brows as she abandoned the thought of sleeping. Instead, she decided to take the time and declutter all the troubling thoughts in her mind. She didn't want to leave Anemoly with more questions than answers so she willed herself to at least try and resolve them before she left. After all, her curiosity would never let her live it down.

Now, the thing regarding this 'Inna' person…

It's far too unlikely that only their names were the same…

After all, they've been mistaking her as this 'Inna' girl left and right. And despite seeing her clad in armor, they still believed her to be 'Inna.'

Could it be, that aside from their names being identical, their physical looks might also be identical?

That's the only explanation that she could concur based on their behaviors.

Ingrid sighed as she began to consciously touch her face.

To think that there would be someone with the same face…

She couldn't help but be disturbed slightly.

Suddenly, as she was lost in her own thoughts, she felt a disturbance of the magical particles around her. Then, she heard a familiar voice cry out.

"Who dares to trespass in this forbidden area?!"

The voice was somehow familiar but she couldn't pinpoint who it was. Curious, Ingrid whipped her head towards the origin of the voice and was startled to see a silhouette of a man standing intimidatingly in the middle of the pebbled pathway.

Ingrid immediately stood up as she readied herself for the possibility of a fight. Despite the poor lighting, she could almost see the man before her ooze out numerous waves of anger and frustration which made her sweat in nervousness.

"Show yourself!"

The man screamed again as he slowly made his way towards the entrance of the pavilion. But before he could, Ingrid changed her stance into that of her usual fighting one.

The man stopped in his tracks as his eyes furrowed deeply.

"You do not wish to show yourself?! Well, then.."

She suddenly heard casting and after a flash, the whole pavilion was illuminated. She staggered back from the sudden brightness that she ended up clumsily sitting back down on the long lounge chair. Then, she shielded her eyes from the light as she groaned in discomfort.

The man made his way towards her, about to interrogate her when he noticed the familiar armor she wore.

"I-inna?"

Ingrid stiffened at the name and having had enough with being mistaken as her all the time, she instinctively growled out.

"I'm not Inna!"

Startled, Raghnall blinked profusely as he remembered the events that occurred a few days ago. Realizing his mistake, he sighed as he leaned into one of the pillars by the pavilion's entrance.

"Dear heavens, how did someone like you get in here?"

Raghnall grumbled as he looked around. He tried to check the seals that surrounded the place and he was shocked to find out that they were all down.

Just how did she possibly nullify all his barriers? 

Only someone that was higher or of the same rank of the Preist class would be able to do such a great feat. And although he only knew a handful of those in the Academy, he was confident that they wouldn't find the area since it was in such a secluded location.

Raghnall sighed as he put away all his questions for the moment. The most important thing he needed to do was to protect the place. And so, he proceeded to cast the barriers again.

Meanwhile, Ingrid's eyes finally adjusted to the bright light and she finally lowered her hand that originally shielded her vision. Then, when she laid her eyes on the man, she finally realized that he was the one who inappropriately hugged her back when she first woke up in Anemoly.

An involuntary blush spread throughout her face as she remembered the embrace but she willed herself to calm down as she observed him.

After a few seconds of watching him, she saw that the man didn't hold animosity but was instead looking at the fields with concern in his eyes.

Maybe he was the caretaker of the place?

Somehow, seeing those eyes, she felt that the man wouldn't do anything to harm her so she slowly relaxed by the chair as she replied to him.

"What do you mean? I just… entered..."

Ingrid furrowed her brows as she looked at him with confusion.

Meanwhile, as Raghnall finished his casting, he looked at her with the same expression of confusion.

"What do you mean you just entered? I had this whole place surrounded by barriers! Were you the ones who nullified them?"

Ingrid's eyes widened as she tried her best to explain her side despite being greatly confused.

"I… No, it was just that I was walking on my own when I saw this bright light and I just chased it. But it entered here so I just simply followed it."

Raghnall furrowed his brows as he cocked his head to the side, now showing  curiosity aside from confusion.

"A bright light?"

Ingrid nodded slowly as she looked out the pavilion, trying to search for that strange butterfly.

"When I finally got close enough, I found it to be a butterfly."

Raghnall figured that she was looking for the butterfly to prove her point so he joined in on searching as well. And when saw one flutter away, he knew she was telling thd truth.

Though he wasn't sure if a butterfly that big was strong enough to nullify his barrier, he couldn't find any other explanation since the woman before him must have the same abilities as Inna. And he's sure as the heavens above that Inna would never be able to nullify the multiple barriers he had set up given her current level.

Recalling that little ninny once again, he looked at the beautifully grown roses outside of the pavilion with a small frown as he thought to himself.

He should really start growing lilies here...

Inna Lovenhart was tricked by her friends to visit an event in Akihabara while she was in Japan. All because of their selfish request. 

Albeit furious, she decided to get it done and over with. But while doing so, she was chosen (more like forced) to be a participant for a publicity stunt.

They promised her a chance at reincarnation through a portal (which she believed was utter bull****).

But before she can react, she was pushed towards different worlds filled with scary beings, and evil greedy humans, while being chased by a King whose beauty and power cannot be compared to any mortal alive!

But wait a minute, what did that old kid just say?

She didn't actually reincarnate!?

(THIS WORK IS UNEDITED)

It has been almost a week already. The state of the blonde-haired man was horrendous. His once lively deep dark blue eyes were now dulled with mental exhaustion as dark circles were forming around it.
Lucas had been trying to give Sara a call every thirty minutes of his waking hours. Every. Single. Day. However, his call was never connected. He could not believe he had ignored his suspicion that had been nagging him that evening. It was eating him alive.
Frustrations began to build up inside him. All the regrets, it was enough to make him want to yank his soft hair out as he shut his eyes tight. He wanted an outlet to let go of his feelings but would anyone understand? 
'Why oh why do I put off seeing her when I had the chance?' 
In the beginning, his reasoning was justified. He imagined Sara would miss him that she would make the first contact, apologising at least. Although she did, she also went to the other part of the extreme, leaving him hanging for answers. 
How was he to know she might choose to cut short of their friendship? At least that was what he perceived of her message but has yet to confirm with Sara. He thought playing push and pull with her would be in his favour, hoping she would slowly open up to him or at least show some reaction. 
How cocky of him! As usual, Sara was not on the other side of the rope. Never has! He was the only one pulling and he pulled with such strong force, only to fall deep into his own mess.
He should have gone earlier. Meet her up! Ignore his wants! But now? How was he going to find her? Even he has no clue where she had disappeared. To which end of the Earth he had to go when she disappeared in their very own campus? Even though Coraline claimed that Sara had went out with someone, the security camera proved otherwise. 
'Would Coraline cover up for Sara? If she did, why?' 
It was twice as odd to find her standing in the darkness of her hall's backyard before she vanished into thin air. It was dubious and it made him wonder, did she orchestrate herself gone missing the other time? Or was he being excessive and what Coraline said was true all along?
The more he thinks about it, the more miserable he felt. Despite being born with a silver spoon in his mouth and having the ability to get almost everything he wanted, the petite little Sara could make him feeling oh-so-poor with her noncommittal actions. 
He thought he was the unshakeable mountain, standing tall and proud, rooted to the ground. He thought he had it all, looking down on all the powerless inhabitants relying on him for resources. And then came Sara, the earthquake – a little shake from her was enough to make him crumble and become one with the ground. But why does it feel so right?
His achievements, for the first time, meant nothing to her. His pride, his capabilities had failed him. There was no way for him to find her, let alone trace her whereabouts. All he had and all he could do, was to continuously call her phone. 
He was skimming through the paperwork in front of him in his office while his other hand mindlessly pressing the call button on his phone. It was as though his fingers were already accustomed to what he had been routinely doing, without his need to look on his phone as he turned on the loudspeaker.
When he heard the ringing tone, he was convinced that he heard wrongly because not long after, the call was disconnected. He thought he was hallucinating, assuring himself that the call he had just made was happening in his head. So, he tried to make the call again. 
The ringing tone came and instantly connected. He firmly believed what he was experiencing now must be a dream due to his desire of wanting Sara to answer the phone call numerous times.
'Might as well delude myself and ask if she is home. At least I'll get to hear an answer from her somehow.'
Finally, he asked the question he had been asking in the past seven days, "Are you home now?" 
"Lucas? Are you… okay?"
Her voice sent warm tingle within his body. 'Yes, that's the voice I have been longing to hear.' 
He unconsciously put the documents down on his office table and placed his mobile phone next to his ear, wanting to hear her voice even more. 
He smiled bitterly with his lip corners slightly pulled downwards, wanting Sara to hear nothing else but his happy voice even if it was just in his dream. Automatically in an instant, the inner corners of his eyebrows pulled up as his upper eyelids drooped.
"I don't know. Are you okay? Are you home?"
"Oh… Okay… I hope you're fine."
He could hear her concerned voice. 'Yes, this Sara is behaving exactly how I wanted her to be. I guess that's the beauty of a dream.'
"Yes, I'm home. Do you know what the date today is?"
"No, I don't know." He tsked in annoyance as he rolled his eyes.
Lucas was angry why Sara in his dream was asking for the date right after he had praised her. How was he supposed to know the date of her return? 'Well, at least she's safe at home in my dreams.'
"Lucas?" Her voice sounded tender in his ears, almost like a lullaby.
"Mmhmm?"
"I'm sorry for hurting your feelings the other day." 
"No. I'm sorry if I have offended you." He closed his eyes as sadness filled his heart, knowing the conversation almost coming to an end and he would wake up anytime soon.
"Well, I've got to go. I'll hang up now, okay?" 
"Must you really go? Can't you just stay with me?" His voice quavered. He must have sounded like a weakling, showing his emotional side but he was not bothered with what Sara thought of him. It is a dream after all. 
"Where are you right now?" Her voice sounded urgent.
"Why? Are you going to come and see me?" 
"Yes, so will you tell me?" she coaxed.
"Yes, please come. I missed you."
"Are you in the office?"
"Yes, I'm in the office."
As he uttered the sentence, he realised he had to come back to reality. He exhaled sharply through his mouth as he put away his phone. 
'Enough pretending.' He shook his head, trying to declutter his mind. 
'That's right. I'm in the office. I should not be unprofessional.' 


Lucas is a vampire who works at a vampire-based corporation where only a handful of humans are aware of their existence. Sara's delectable scent, amongst the human employees, attracted his attention.
As a member of vampire aristocrats, Lucas held a Blood Red Party and invited Sara to be the Guest of Honour, omitting the fact that she will be the main course for him. 

Lucas became obsessed with the taste of her blood and wanted to keep her near for a fresh supply of blood. His attempt to seduce her failed miserably. As he tries to continuously deceive her, Sara finally fell in love without knowing he's the predator and Lucas unknowingly fell into his own trap. From prey to love, he was not sure when it all started.

Both never experience love.
Both never understood love.
Join these two as they slowly explore their feelings and embrace what comes their way.

Days and weeks have passed Amor and Henry is now ready to go back to their hometown.  She has finished all the tasks Do Yun asked her to do before she will be cleared from her job.  She channeled her time and effort into getting Henry's school documents so that he can enroll back at his old school.  Her major project for the Kim's is the new residence and she has booked a removal company that will start as soon as they leave for their 2 months vacation to South Korea.  Her last task is to declutter the Kim's belongings before they move to the new residence.
Driiiiin.  Driiiiin.  Driiiiin.
Amor missed the sound of the old alarm clock and she has mixed feelings about leaving her job, "It's now or never," she thought.  To perk up the casual style she chose to wear a cutesy black ditsy floral collared neck drawstring romper to cinch her waist paired with a cute headband.
Standing outside unit 203, she straightened her headband and lightly knocked on the door thrice then David opened the door.
"Good..... good morning Mr. and Mrs. Kim," Amor stuttered but Do Yun only gave her a glance and stood up to enter their room.  She saw Mila sitting on the sofa thus she sat beside her.
Ae Cha came out from their room wearing a black dot maxi shirt dress, Mila stood up waiting for instructions but Ae Cha just headed out to the door thus she hurriedly followed without saying goodbye to Amor.
Amor straightened her posture waiting for Do Yun to come out but minutes have passed and he has not come out yet.  "Maybe he fell asleep again," she told herself.  An hour later Do Yun came out from their room wearing a light gray plaid suit, with a high nose along with small and slender facial features; buried deep in Amor's heart he is still her hero straight from K-drama.  Just like Mila, Amor stood up and before she could give her greeting Do Yun headed out to the door thus she hurriedly followed.
As soon as they arrived in the office, Do Yun went straight to his desk closing the door behind him.  Looking around her own desktop that appears to float due to its cantilevered design and its position in front of a window this has been her home away from home.  "Even though I have not been busy doing household chores at home, helping take care of a company sure takes much of my time also," she thought.
Her tablet rang and the caller ID says Mr. Kim, "Hello Mr. Kim;" she answered the call right away.  "Please get inside," and Do Yun ended the call.  "What a waste of phone credit," she told herself.
She lightly knocked thrice and slowly opened the sliding door, without waiting for an invitation she stepped inside and closed the door.  When Amor entered his office, Do Yun is silently sitting on one of the black swivel chairs with his arms folded and his legs crossed.  She slowly sat on the other black swivel chair opposite him.
"Let's talk about your resignation over a cup of coffee, shall we?" and Do Yun poured her a cup of brewed coffee.
"You have indeed progressed for the past few years and although I am still willing to give you another chance to be better for another  3 years it seems you are decided to leave.  Since we will leave for South Korea in the next few days I'll give you another month to change your mind, if you are still firm with your decision to resign then that should also allow enough time for the recruitment to hire for a replacement before I come back.  We also have to look for another school companion for Chaewon."
"He still wants me around for another 3 years?"  she thought.  "Uhm..... that's very thoughtful of you Mr. Kim thank you."
"Are we all set?"
"Ah..... yes Mr. Kim, your flight will depart at 5 pm and should arrive in Seoul by 10 pm thus you can leave from home by 1 pm.  The removal company will arrive by 2 pm and we'll make sure we finish everything before the day ends.  Don't worry Mr. Kim I will not go home until I have decluttered your belongings.  We will start packing little by little this week so we should be right on schedule.  I created an inventory that should help us to keep an eye on all of your belongings to make sure nothing is lost throughout the whole moving house process."
Do Yun gestured her to leave thus she got up immediately and closed the sliding door behind her.
Standing outside unit 203, Henry straightened his shirt and lightly knocked on the door thrice then Matthew opened the door.
"Good afternoon kuya (older brother), is Chaewon around?"
"Oh..... yes, I'll let her know you're here," Matthew closed the door and after a few minutes, Chaewon opened the door.
"Hello, Henry come in!"
"Hi, Chaewon, thank you," and Henry went inside.
When they got inside Chaewon couldn't help notice the sadness in Henry's eyes.
"Are we not playing today?" asked Chaewon.
"Uhm..... I'm here to say goodbye to you Chaewon and also to thank you for accepting me as your friend and oppa (older brother)."
"Well, it's not really goodbye but just see you around since we'll be back here in a couple of months."
"Ah..... my mother has decided not to renew her contract so that means I won't be here when you come back."
"No, that can't be.  I'll talk to Ms. Amor, Matthew ....."
"Oh..... ye (yes) young master Chaewon."
"Call Ms. Amor for me, tell her I need to talk to her now."
"Uhm..... jeolm-eun maseuteo (young master) Chaewon, Ms. Amor is still in Mr. Kim's office right now working."
"I know, but I need to talk to her right now."
"Ah..... Chaewon, please don't be angry at my mother.  I'll visit you here if you want."
"No, that's different.  Matthew, have you called Ms. Amor?"
"Oh..... ye (yes)..... ye jeolm-eun maseuteo Chaewon (yes young master Chaewon)," and David dialed Amor's personal number.
Amor's personal phone rang and the caller ID says Matthew, "Hello Matthew;" she answered the call right away.  
"Hi, Amor, sorry to disturb you but can you come home right now?" 
  "What's the matter?" 
"Nothing serious, Chaewon just wants to talk to you."
"Uhm..... sure I'll ask Mr. Kim for an early out."
"Ah..... thank you, Amor, I'll let Chaewon know you're coming;" and Matthew ended the call.
"What could it be?" she asked herself.
This feeling that Chaewon has for Henry is so new she hasn't even dreamed of it.

Love that transcends dimensions of time and space.

"Why does the exposure of the two Saint elders coincide with the Purple Crow's operation?" Lin Huang fell into deep thought after hearing what Qin Tianxing said.
"Hong Zhuang isn't here today. The Purple Crow's operation must have something to do with the Saint! What do they want from the Saint? Or maybe they're attacking the Union Government's headquarter when it's empty…"
Lin Huang had his mind occupied with what Hong Zhuang and the Purple Crow could be up to. He was absolutely distracted when he was reading in the library. When it was around 10:30 a.m, Kylie's voice came to his mind.
"It's settled."
Her message was short and sweet. It was clear that the triple mutation and the awakening of her bloodline did not change her cold attitude.
"I'll recall the both of you if you're sure that everything has been done," Lin Huang informed before recalling them.
"Everything's done." It was Bai who replied.
Lin Huang recalled the two Monster Cards after hearing Bai's reply. He finally managed to distract himself from the mystery of the Purple Crow. However, he felt an invisible pressure from the Purple Crow's operation. It also triggered him to want to be more powerful. He was irritated by the thought that he might be killed anytime. However, since he had just leveled up to white flame-level, his Life Fire was still unstable. He could not level up his combat level within a month. He would have to look for alternatives to upgrade his abilities. He then looked at his Monster Skills slots. There were still eight empty slots out of twenty slots.
"Besides Lancelot and Thunder, all of the cards have been leveled up to legendary-level. Besides Dark Shield, the remaining Monster Skills in my body have been transformed. I'm only left with the Mighty Ape, the Frost Flame Ape and the two Dark Crescent Snakes whose skills have yet to be extracted… Let's see if there's anything that's useful."
Lin Huang then placed the four cards in front of him and went through the skills one by one.
"The Mighty Ape's Superhuman Strength and Warrior Body are pretty cool. They can increase my body strength tremendously. The Frost Flame Ape's Frost Flame isn't bad, but it's not very useful for me. Its Frost Armor is redundant to me as well since I already have Absolute Defence and Dark Shield… The Dark Crescent Snake's Crescent Flame isn't too shabby either, but it doesn't suit my style…"
He was only satisfied with the Mighty Ape's skills after looking at the four monsters thoroughly. It would be great if he could possess more Monster Skills. However, as he only had a limit of eight savant slots for Monster Skills, he had to get rid of whatever was not useful to him. It was better to declutter instead of keeping stuff that one did not need even if it was free.
Besides the Mighty Ape, Lin Huang recalled the other three Monster Cards and summoned Kylie. To avoid attention from the skill extraction, he got Kylie to bring him into the isolation space where the Starlight Beasts were. He detected a major change as soon as he entered the space with Kylie. There were endless meadows before, but now there were meadows, forests, mountains, and rivers… It had changed completely.
Lin Huang was stunned at the change and only snapped out of it after a while.
"Did you do all these?" Lin Huang asked Kylie.
"It's my mini world now. I can change it however I want it." Kylie nodded.
Lin Huang had read about the concept of mini-worlds in novels before, but it was his first time witnessing one. After Kylie's revamp on the place, the mini world looked the same as the real world except that it had no creatures.
"Wait… What's that?" Just when Lin Huang was thinking that there should be no other creature than Starlight Beasts here, he saw a giant beast which seemed to be running away from a predator.
"A Black Tusk Elephant. Bai and I brought it in here. Our army needs food." Kylie's reply was simple.
"I'll need to hunt for more food for them after this batch of food is finished," she said after a pause.
Lin Huang realized that he had overlooked the point that Kylie's army consisted of normal monsters that were not in card forms. Unlike Kylie, they needed food to survive.
"Sure, just let me know ahead. I'll bring you wherever you need to go," Lin Huang replied.
"Although the Black Tusk Elephant is huge, you have more than 300 monsters in your army. That should last them for only a couple of days."
"Bai and I brought back all seven holy fire-level monsters from the Meteorite Desert. That should be enough to feed them for half a month," Kylie replied without any expression.
Lin Huang was surprised to hear that she and Bai had captured all the Transcendent-level monsters in the Meteorite Desert. In such a huge desert, it had been downgraded from a moderate danger zone to a grade-4 wild zone just because Kylie's army needed food. He was not sure if he should laugh at that.
"The most powerful holy fire-level monsters that you and Bai captured should be at least purple flame-level… What's the combat level of the Starlight Beasts after they evolved? Can they kill purple flame-level monsters?"
"They're the same as me. They're all gold flame-level. Their combat level will grow together with mine. They're kind of like… clones," Kylie replied shockingly.
Just as Kylie said this, a couple of monsters in silver armor flew across the sky and caught up with the Black Tusk Elephant in an instant. The monsters looked exactly like Kylie before she had completed her triple mutation. The only difference was their size. Suddenly, one of them flung its purple spear into the air. The spear was transformed into a purple lightning rod and pierced through the 50-meter thick Black Tusk Elephant's skull. It died on the spot, brain juice and blood spilling all over the place.
After the Nephilic Judges killed the elephant, they soon noticed Kylie and Lin Huang, then ran over to them immediately.
"Master." They bowed their heads, standing ten meters before Kylie.
"Don't bother us. Go do your own stuff." Kylie waved her hand, behaving very much like a queen.
"Yes!" The Nephilic Judges left with the Black Tusk Elephant immediately.
Lin Huang could sense how powerful the Nephilic Judges were when they had gotten closer earlier. It was a powerful army. A single Nephilic Judge alone might be able to kill an immortal-level rank-1. His passion surged as he thought about Kylie's army that was made of more than 300 monsters. He was one step closer to his dream of building a monster army!
He then recalled his intention of getting Kylie to bring him into this mini world.
"Xiao Hei, extract the skill now!" Lin Huang instructed Xiao Hei as he looked at the Mighty Ape Monster Card that he held in his hand.
"Performing skill extraction… Randomly picking a skill… Skill extraction has been completed!"
"Congratulations, you have obtained the skill - Warrior Body!"


Lin Huang was a 15-year old boy from Earth, on a path to live his life in a world full of monsters. With his younger sister in his care, and given only 91 days to live, the odds were not in his favor at all... That is until, he killed a vicious vampire, purely by accident. With a twist in his tale, his life was changed completely. As he fought his way through this world with the help of his troops made of men and monsters, the boy sets his sights on a much larger ambition of becoming the greatest monster hunter in the world!

"This kid's depth of knowledge in Buddhism is truly astounding!"
"I'm nowhere close to that level."
"If he was born into a Buddhist institution, there's no doubt he would be a Buddhist Master!"
The Thunder Temple's Sages discussed Chu Kuangren in whispers. It was evident that they were deeply affected by Chu Kuangren's words of wisdom.
After many years of acquiring insights into Buddhism, their proficiency in Buddhist knowledge was unquestionable. Yet Chu Kuangren's mere few words were enough to declutter their minds and allow them to see a clearer picture of Buddhism.
Chu Kuangren's Buddhist attainment had far surpassed that of the Sages.
…
After the exchange, Master Hui Xin had opened the scripture library for Chu Kuangren to visit.
Upon entering the library, Chu Kuangren did not hesitate to begin reading on the various Buddhist Techniques while completely ignoring the works of Buddhist literature.
The young monk who guided him could not help but frown at such sight.
After all, Buddhist Techniques were a unique class of martial arts. If one lacked an understanding of Buddhist literature, it would be difficult to make any progress.
To skip past the works of literature and jump straight into reading on Buddhist Technique was considered a huge taboo in the Thunder Temple.
"Brother Chu…"
Just when the young monk was about to admonish Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren's body immediately glowed with a faint layer of Buddhist Lights while the center of his palm radiated a burst of golden color.
"Is this the Golden Prajna Palm of the Thunder Temple?!"
"Hiss…"
The young monk gasped.
He had never foreseen that Chu Kuangren would master this technique in such a short amount of time. What sorcery was that?!
"Master, you were saying?"
Chu Kuangren looked at the young monk curiously.
The young monk immediately swallowed his initial admonishment and said, "Nothing much, I was just about to remind you that you're welcome to read all the scriptures in this library. I shall make my move."
"Thank you, Master."
The young monk bowed politely and left.
However, he shook his head in secret.
Chu Kuangren's understanding of Buddhism was so sophisticated that it even put the Abbot to shame. There was no need for him to refer to any literature.
Upon the young monk's departure, Chu Kuangren began to read up on the various techniques. With the help of his Meditational Clarity trait, he picked up these techniques at a ridiculous pace.
"Golden Prajna Palm…"
"Phaseless Finger of Death…"
"Solar Conjuration Sword…"
One by one, Chu Kuangren began to absorb the Buddhist Techniques.
The mysterious Daoist Rhymes and dignified Buddhist Light that flowed around his body had bestowed a holy aura upon him.
At the same time, his Transcendent Coalescence Daoist Physique was also inching towards completion as it absorbed the Daoist Rhymes from all the Buddhist Techniques.
…
In the Dhamma Institute of Thunder Temple.
The Dhamma Institute was where the monk warriors of the Thunder Temple gathered. The monk warriors were monks that were most well-versed in combat. Aside from the Thunder Temple's Sages, the head of this institute was one of the strongest cultivators in the temple.
In a grand hall, an old monk dressed in grey robes stood before a crowd. None of the monks dared make any noises in the presence of this old monk.
The old monk was the current head of the Dhamma Institute, Master Sha Xin!
"You were saying that the scripture library is now opened unconditionally for an outsider to visit, and this decision was made by the Abbot?"
Sha Xin simply said.
"Yes," a monk warrior replied softly from aside.
"Hmph, what is Hui Xin thinking? The scripture library is the source of all knowledge in Thunder Temple. How could he simply allow an outsider in?"
Sha Xin grumbled. He had no respect at all for the abbot.
Another monk warrior then told Master Sha Xin the incident starting from the beginning.
"Chu Kuangren? Buddhism?!"
"Chu Kuangren actually knows Buddhism? Even then, to open the scripture library to an outsider is simply preposterous."
Sha Xin immediately got up and walked to the exit once he finished cursing.
"Chief, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to drag that Chu Kuangren out the library."
The monk warriors were shocked to hear that.
"That's not advisable, Chief."
"Chu Kuangren is the Black Heaven Sect Leader and the distinguished guest of the Thunder Temple. It would be too disrespectful if you were to drag him out of the library."
The crowd immediately went to stop Sha Xin.
"Step back!"
Unfortunately, they were instantly greeted by the hostile stare of their Chief as a terrifying murderous qi erupted from Master Sha Xin. The monk warriors could not do much but watch helplessly as Sha Xin marched towards the scripture library.
"Quick, inform the Abbot."
One of the monk warriors said hastily.
At that moment, Sha Xin had already arrived at the scripture library. Like a God of War, he was fuming with a violent stream of murderous qi.
Outside the library, Lan Yu frowned at the sight of Sha Xin.
Lan Yu did not expect Sha Xin's arrival while she was patiently waiting for Chu Kuangren. Moreover, Sha Xin did not seem to come with good intent at all.
It was Lan Yu's first time witnessing a monk fuming with a murderous qi.
"Is Chu Kuangren in there?"
Sha Xin said with his voice as cold as a stone.
"That's right."
"Get him out of there."
"My Master will leave whenever he wishes to. But until then, no one shall enter the library."
Lan Yu said calmly as she equipped a layer of silver armor on herself. 
She realized that the visitor before her was definitely hostile towards Chu Kuangren.
That was all the reason she needed to enter into combat mode.
"Oh, you're the renowned Young Emperor, Lan Yu — the loyal follower of Chu Kuangren. Looks like if I want to get him out of there, I'll need to pass through you first." At that, a layer of Buddhist Light surged out of Sha Xin.
The Buddhist Light was majestic and dignified. Yet when combined with Sha Xin's murderous qi, it created a rather contradicting impression.
However, it was undeniable that Sha Xin was a remarkable cultivator. At the very least, Lan Yu could feel the pressure piling up on her.
Lan Yu proceeded to retrieve the Scepter of Light as she readied herself for battle.
Just when both sides had drawn their weapons, a ray of Buddhist Light gushed upwards and manifested into a garden of golden Buddhist Lotuses in the sky, radiating a merciful glow of Daoist Rhymes.
Sha Xin was immediately stunned at such sight. "Such Daoist Rhymes, it's the Thunder Temple's Sage Technique — the Golden Lotuses Slayer of Evil!"
Then, a burst of Daoist Rhymes spread outwards from the Buddhist Light, transforming into a fearsome Buddhist deity that wielded a vajra.
At the same time, another distinct wave of Daoist Rhymes echoed Brahmic chimes into the surroundings and left a soothing sensation in everyone who heard it. Even Sha Xin's murderous qi was unknowingly reduced before the Brahmic chimes.
"Sage Technique, Might of Yamantaka!"
"Sage Technique, Restful Mantra!"
Sha Xin looked dumbfoundedly towards the scripture library.
Countless variations of Daoist Rhymes were manifesting in the library. Not only was it from the most renowned Thunder Temple's Sage Techniques but from countless other Buddhist Techniques as well!
The Daoist Conjurations that filled the sky immediately left Sha Xin utterly speechless.
"That's not possible, what's going on?!"
Sha Xin was in disbelief.
"This is probably Brother Chu's doing." At that moment, the Thunder Temple's Abbot, Hui Xin appeared behind Sha Xin.
Sha Xin turned around and said, "Impossible. He's just entered not too long ago, how could he have released such variations of Daoist Rhymes?"
"There's nothing impossible about that." Sha Xin shook his head. "It's widely known that Brother Chu has previously mastered more than eight thousand techniques in the Dharma Sect. It's no surprise that he's also capable of learning the Sage Techniques of our scripture library."
"But… but this is too fast!"
Sha Xin confessed in a troubled tone. Judging by Chu Kuangren's Daoist Rhymes, Sha Xin knew he could never achieve the same feat even if he devoted half his life to studying these techniques!

"Look, I'm sorry Lili," Mavis said before we enter the front gate. I looked at her with slight confusion in my eyes. 

"I want to distract myself." She confessed. Why? Is she going through something? "I can't explain anything yet. But thanks a lot for being with me. Even though that was tiring." I made a lip-closed smile after she said that. 

"Just don't disturb my sleep again." She giggled and then we both entered the Okami Complex. I immediately sat down on the sofa while still holding the paper bags. It was all her treat so I kinda feel bad about it. I'm broke remember? Since I don't want to accept the money that my dad is giving me. I think I need to find a part-time job soon. 

"Did you have fun?" I looked behind my back where the voice came from. There I saw the sulking Kyros whose arms are crossed. "Did you have fun without me?" He asked again. 

"Yeah. It was so fun that I don't want to go home and to see your face." He began sulking even more because of what I've said. I kinda lied though. I just didn't want to see his face but I truly wanted to go home since we arrived at the mall. 

"You're so mean Lili," Kyros said as if I bullied him or something. He looks like he's about to cry. "I think that you hate me." I was astounded because of that.

"You think?" The sarcasm in my voice is overflowing. How come he's so oblivious about this kind of stuff? 

"Meanie!" Kyros said as he flees. Well, now that the nuisance is gone I can finally relax. 

I went back to my room to rest, but then I saw the ton of boxes in my room. I didn't have a lot of time to unpack my belongings. I think I should do it now since I don't want to be bothered again. 

I began putting my not-so-important stuff on one of the boxes while I placed the others that I am using on my desk since there's a lot of space there. As I continue to declutter, a pink sparkling box caught my attention. 

I think that box is own by the kid version of me. I even thought that I will put every good memory I will get in that box. But I totally forgot after my life became miserable. I picked up the small box and was trying to open it. But I saw that it has a lock that needs a key. I can't seem to remember where I placed the key. 

I just shrugged and placed the box on my drawer so that I could open it once I found the key. Hanging out with Mavis today made me remember those times when I was still hanging out with Lizzy. She's my best friend who is now living in Japan. I hope she's doing alright, since I don't have her contact information I don't know how she is doing. 

I sighed in relief after I finished cleaning my room. Now I can finally rest in peace without any hindrances. Wait. Did I make that sound like I'm going to die or something like that? Well, anyway, I slammed my body to my bed and lazily lay there for a couple of minutes. 

I can't seem to fall asleep. It's already 8 pm, and I am waiting for the food to get ready. Like what I've said before, I don't have any background with cooking that's why I prevent going in the kitchen when they're cooking something. I might just be a nuisance there. 

I twisted and turned on my bed because of how uncomfortable I felt. I am dead tired but I can't seem to fall asleep. I don't even understand why this is happening to me. I kept on feeling frustrated not until I heard the familiar knock on my door. 

I got up and opened the door. As I thought, it's Mavis. She told me that the food is ready and that I should eat with them. I followed her without hesitation since I don't have anything to do and I am famished. 

As usual, we sat down and ate while talking with each other. Though I'm more into the listening side than the talking. I am completely focused on my food. Kyros who is beside me is unusually quiet, but that what makes this dinner better than the other dinners with this guy. 

After the usual dinner, I helped Mavis with the dishes while Dusty went out to pick up Astraea from her part-time job. I didn't know that she still works every Sunday. She should learn about taking a break or else her body's the one who'll break. 

"You seem unusually quiet?" I blurt out. I've been washing the dishes with Mavis for like 3 minutes now but she's not opening her mouth nor giggling. 

"Do you have somebody you can call as your childhood friend or even a best friend?" She asked which made me confused. 

"I do? I guess?" I wasn't sure. Like what I've said, It's been too long since I met Lizzy. She didn't contact me for how many years so maybe she's doing well without me. "Is there a problem?" I asked but she just shook her head and smiled at me. 

We finished washing the dishes and she immediately went up to her room. She was fine a while ago? What happened to make her mood like that? I shook the thought of her out of my mind. Since she's not telling me I don't want to probe on her. 

I went upstairs, as I was walking toward my room I saw Kyros who just got out of his room. Which is right in front of my room. What luck right? 

"Lili!" A smile has formed as his face lights up when he saw me walking in his direction. "Let's play a game." He said but I just gave him an emotionless look. 

Didn't he call me a meanie before? Why is he wagging his tail in front of me again? 

"Please?" He pleaded but I entered my room and immediately locked the door. I'm tired of him doing whatever he wants with me. When I heard his door closing, I quickly grabbed my clothes and a bath towel so that I can take a quick bath before sleeping. 

I'm not used to sleeping without taking a half-bath because I feel kind of gross. I'm just glad that there's no one in the bathroom. After entering, I locked the door and removed my clothes. The bathroom here is big but not like the bathroom in our mansion where I lived before. Anyway, I filled the tub with warm water then I got in the tub. 

Before I feel uncomfortable and couldn't sleep. But now I think I can fall deep into sleep after this warm bath. After taking a bath, I quickly went back to my room. Another tiring day for me I guess? 

The weekend passed at high-speed and today is another school day. The classroom is filled with noise created by no other than rowdy boys. 

"Mitch told me that he dated that pretty girl from the third years." I heard someone said. They're talking about the guy sitting beside Kyros who looks incredibly good. He can be seen as beautiful and handsome at the same time. I even mistook him for being a girl when I first saw him.

"What nonsense are you spouting?" They were surprised when Mitch walked into the room while wearing glasses. I didn't notice that he wears glasses, though I don't really care either way. 

"I just told them about your-- Woah? Who the hell are you?" The usual rowdiness was maximized when they saw an unfamiliar boy entering our room. When I looked at him, I figured out who he is. 

"Hansol? What happened to you?" The guy named Khalil asked. He's not that different from before. He just changed his hairstyle and he's not wearing those thick-glasses anymore. 

"Damn son. You look gorgeous." Kent complimented while he looked at him with hearts on his eyes. Is he like that? 

"I realized something because of a certain person." Hansol smiled as he looked in my way but I avoided eye contact. I don't want to be involved okay? 

"Hansol? You somewhat look different." When I heard that familiar and annoying voice, I wished to god that he'll leave me alone for today. 

"You're amazing Kyros." Huxley complimented the idiot. How is he amazing? They already figured out who he is? So that dog is not different. 

"His looks are kind of different but his scent is still the same." I cringed when I heard his explanation. When will he stop with that kind of stuff? 

"You're such a weirdo." They just laughed it off as if it's the most normal thing to do. They're all weirdos! I swear I don't want to be in this filthy room anymore!
