Kabanata 37

Unedited. Keep safe everyone, you are my Gem.

They are all eyeing Jiane, waiting for her answer but, she did not say anything. She just turned around and exited.

"She does..." Skeira murmured and sighed harshly. "We need Winter," she said and stilled when she noticed something.

"Where's Winter by the way?"

"YOU WHAT?" Alexa can't help but to raise her voice to Alexilia who's lying on her bed, looking problematic.

"Hero and I aren't mate," Alexilia repeated and get up from her bed. "Zevious is my real mate."

"What are you talking about, bitch? You believe those rumours about our race too?" Alexa spatted and Alexilia looked at her deadpan.

"Didn't you?"

Alexa scoffed at her and sat beside her. "Those are just rumours, Alexilia, why are you—"

"But, you did believe them too, right?" Alexilia said, frowning. "When you met someone who's already mated, you believe that we are cursed. Even it's just a rumours, you can't hide the fact it is talk of our world. Not just town."

Alexa stood up from the bed and looked at her deadly. "Don't tell me you're in relationship with that Hart?"

"It doesn't matter. We are mates—"

"Fuck mates," she gritted her teeth. "You're putting yourself at risk, Alexilia. Once the councils heard about you having a relationship with Zevious while people are expecting you to be with Hero, you're doomed."

"Atleast, I have my friends behind me once everything becomes tough for me. And, I'm with the person who I truly love," Alexilia sighed and motioned her twin-sister to leave.

Alexa gasped and looked at her disbelief. "I won't help you."

Alexilia smirked, "you're going to eat that words soon, twin."

Alexa just glared at her before leaving her alone in her room. Pabagsak na humiga si Alexilia sa kama niya at natulala sa kawalan. Their problem is starting but the real deal hasn't but, she's already feeling tired.

"DÉESSE," Luxiel bowed lightly as a sign of respect. "Where's Hezéllaire?" she asked to Zyatha who's gently combing her hair with golden comb.

"She's in Dashry's Palace."

"What?" Luxiel asked in disbelief.

Zyatha nodded smally. "She's watching over Alexilia."

"Is she..." Zyatha met her gazes and smiled. "No..." she answered to Luxiel's question in her mind.

"They went to Thianteil to asked her about the unknown lady," Luxiel informed her and Zyatha nodded again.

"I know. I saw it," she said and sighed, "but, they won't get any clues about her."

"They are hinting Winter."

"Is it really Winter?" Zyatha asked her. "Or Hezéllaire whom they thought they haven't met?"

"Or maybe..." Zyatha trailed off. "They are still not over about Winter's identity?"

"What do you mean?" Luxiel frowned.

"As you can see," Zyatha started. "Winter Frost's identity is still unknown to them. So as Hero Devlin's mate."

"And...?"

"They are still not over her. They are still lost. Goddess Thianteil or Goddess Acel may gave them a clue about her but, it's still unclear. They are lost with the clues they have."
