"Jade...jade...are you ready?" Lydia asked as she quickly opened the door. " Yes Lydia did you get the coachman that you were talking about?" "Yes he'll be here in a....oh there he is." Lydia replied as she looked at the middle aged man who was at the door. "Lydia I'm so grateful for your help and if someone asks you about my whereabouts, just tell them that you you don't know where I went." Jade said as she hugged her childhood friend.

Lydia continued to hug Jade tightly and the thought of her friend leaving made her cry. They literally grew up as sisters and now that jade was leaving she felt as if her sister was leaving.She couldn't live a life without her friend!

"You know what Jade, I'm leaving with you." Lydia said as she held jade's hand."

What! But your family.What will you tell them Lydia?" "Don't worry about them, besides I know my mother can't wait to get rid of me." Lydia said as she lowered her face.

"Are you sure about this? I don't even have a destination Lydia." Jade asked. She was truly grateful that Lydia had supported her when she was mourning the death of her father and even though it had been three days since they buried him. Jade needed to do what her father told her before he died.

*********************************

"..…. Papa what are you saying?"Jade asked as she looked at her bedridden father. "Jade you have to leave this place . My death is inevitable my dear. I can't go on with this medicines but promise me one thing Jade...." "papa you are not leaving me...you promised!"Jade said as she sobbed uncontrollably. "My health is deteriorating and I know that I won't last long. After you bury me my child, I want you to go to Avianna. That place would be safer for you because I know they will come looking for you." " papa who are looking for me?" Jade asked. She knew her father had kept a lot of secrets from her but she didn't question about anything. "Some things are better off being kept a secret my child. All I know is that this place is not safe for you. Promise me one thing, that you'll leave this place once I'm gone.Please I've never asked for anything, but just fulfill this wish of mine I want you to be safe." Her father said with the little energy that he had gathered so that he could talk to his daughter. "Papa you are not going anywhere...I know that you're going to recov..." "Jade please promise me." her father interrupted."Okay papa I promise."

*************************************

"Jade please say yes. There's nothing to think about.I have also saved up some money too, just say yes.And what have you been thinking about because it didn't seem whether you were contemplating to go with me or not." It's nothing much Lydia l just miss papa.And it's okay if you want to come along with me but are you sure about this?" Jade asked her friend who seemed to have made up her mind. Jade knew well not to urgue with her friend since she was a very stubborn girl." Yes of course I want to go with you jade."Lydia replied with a bright smile.

It took them half an hour to prepare themselves for the journey and as planned, Lydia sneaked into her house and took the eight silver coins that she had saved and some clothes .

"Are you girls ready?"The coachman asked where that girls looked at each other and Lydia led that way towards the carriage.They had waited for the night to approach so they started their journey at night .Jade sat quietly at the left side while staring at the trees through the small window of the carriage, her fingers played with the pendant that was on her neck whereby she slowly fell asleep.

******"*****************************

Both the girls had fallen asleep during the journey whereby they didn't realize that they had reached Avianna until they heard the coachman calling them."Hey! girls we are already here."The coachman said as he knocked the window.

" We are finally here!" Jade said with a sigh.

She had never been away from her home for the nineteen years of her existence and now she wondered where she would start but thankfully, she had saved up some money whereby she had planned to lease a house.

On stepping out of the carriage,Jade Was mesmerized by the beauty of the place. She had heard a lot about Avianna but she had no idea that the place looked this beautiful.

***********************************

Back in their village people wondered where the to girls had disappeared of to since they had seen them the previous day.

" I knew that girl was never to be trusted." Said a woman who seemed to be in her late fifties where the other women agreed with her. " Maybe she's the one who killed her father there's been a rumour that Mr Carson was just her step father." Another woman added. " How can someone disappear like that. It is less than a week and She has decided to take off with Lady Agnes' daughter.This girls think that life is a peace of cake. Let them face the harsh reality of life." The woman who had started the conversation added as she took a bucket of water and carried it with her head.

*********************************

"This place is really beautiful!"Said Lydia as she continued to look around holding her luggage. Lydia had grown up in a well off family who was highly respected in the society but her relationship with her family had been strained when she started her friendship with Jade whose father was a gardener.

She had fought a lot with her mother because of Jade until she. decided to accompany her wherever she wanted to go."Hey let's look for a place we can live at least for a month before we find any work that we can do." Jade said as she pulled her friend out of her trance.

You hate me, so please let me go.” I cried out. Cain’s jaw tightened with each word that left my lips “What gave you the idea that you have the power to choose what you want?” His voice was low, “You don’t get to decide what, how, and when you leave. Only I get to do that. You don’t get to leave me, you don’t get to run! You only leave when I want you to.” "I didn’t ask for this,” I whispered, trembling. “I didn’t ask to be your mate.” Cain stepped back, “Neither did I,” he muttered under his breath. “But the bond doesn’t give us a choice, does it?” ~~~~ As the only child of her late Alpha father, Avery Jae was meant to inherit her family’s legacy.

Claimed by the Prince of Darkness

The clock struck midnight when Ruelle heard the echo of footsteps. She tensed, the fine hairs on the back of her neck standing on end in the cool night air. "You shouldn't be here," Ruelle whispered, her voice a breathless murmur. The silhouette finally came to stand under the moonlight, his dark red eyes watching her and his inky black hair ruffling. "Shouldn't I?" His voice was a dark caress, and she stood there captivated by the danger he exuded like perfume. "I haven’t seen you for the last two days," his tone low. His hand reached out, fingers brushing against the silk of her nightgown, tracing the trembling outline of her collarbone. "Tell me, were you avoiding me, or perhaps... entertaining other offers?" Ruelle’s heart raced, her breaths shallow. She declared, "I don't belong to anyone.” "A bold claim," he murmured, his breath a tantalising chill against her skin as he leaned in. "Yet here you are, pulse racing, your body tensed as if in anticipation of my touch." His fingers gripped her chin, tilting her face towards his. The moonlight caught his eyes, revealing a glint of predatory intent. "Or must I remind you whose touch you truly crave?"

Young master Damien's pet

"Who touched you?" he asked, his eyes brooding down at her and when she didn't answer, his voice thundered in the room, "WHO?" The butler who stood near the wall spoke shakily, "Sir, it was Mr. Reverale," Damien's face turned sour, his jaw ticking in anger he turned his face to the side where the butler stood behind. "Bring the man here." "N-now?" stuttered the butler. It was the time of night. Damien who hadn't broken his eye contact with the girl in front of him, pushed his hand against the wall which now rested beside his beautiful girl's head. Turning his body, he first looked at his butler who had his head bowed. With great courage, the butler came to meet his Master's eyes, "Do you have any other better time? Or should it be after I wring your neck?" Damien asked calmly tilting his head. Not a second later, the butler ran out of the room to return back with Mr. Reverale after twenty minutes. "Damien, are we having a late tea party?" Mr. Reverale came to greet but the master of the house had other plans. Spotting the knife that was stuck to the apple on the table, he reached for it to pull it out. Just as Mr. Reverale went to exchange a handshake with him, Damien took hold of his hand to place it on the table. In one swift movement as if he were chopping onions, he chopped the four fingers of the man off his hand making him yelp and cry in pain. "No one touches what is mine. I am sure this will remind you the next time you even think about touching her," sighed Damien as if he were tired of telling people to keep their dirty hands off his belongings. Meet Damien Quinn, a pureblooded vampire who is a complete narcissist, brash with his words and stingy even though he is rich who haggled when he bought a slave from the black market. On the other hand, meet Penelope who believes she is a 'guest' for a few days at the Quinn as she is intent on escaping from the odd vampire who needs therapy. ~ Discord: https://discord.gg/K63uVqN

Letters to Romeo.

[Mature Content. No Rape] 'All it took was breaking one rule that she was not supposed to' He was the bad boy with tattoos. She was the good girl with glasses, and she was his. — When Julianne Winters decides to move to the dormitory of the reputed University, she has everything planned so that she can complete her graduation and leave the place. But her plan is quick to catch fire from the moment the eyes of Roman Moltenore from senior year lands on her. And his appearance screams nothing but TROUBLE. "What rules?" Julianne asked with a frown as she read through the page. She was sure she hadn't seen any rules of the campus mentioned on their website. # 4. No using cell phones. # 12. Students should not roam outside the campus after eleven in the night. The further she read, the more bizarre it turned out to be. Her friend turned the page and then pointed at the last rule # 29. Listen to Roman Moltenore. "This is made up. Look, the last one is even written in pencil." Julianne couldn't believe that her friend from the next dorm thought she would fall for it. "And no phone?" "It is important you abide by all the rules. Especially number twenty nine," said the girl in a serious tone. "Remember not to get involved with Roman. If you happened to see him, run in the other direction. There is a reason why it is written down here." With the rules of the campus, she resorts to sending handwritten letters to her uncle. But who knew it would end up in someone else’s hand!
