lol
Despite his terrible weakness and mutilated hands, Rhain knew he had to prioritize evasion over confrontation. Stealth would be his greatest ally.聽
Fantasy 路 JasmineJosef
Wow! finally
"I do!" She said without hesitance, almost giddy, afraid she would fall from the weakness in her knees.聽
Fantasy 路 JasmineJosef
yessss!
Ephraim took the box and moved gracefully to stand in front of her. As he sank to one knee, Darcy felt a surge of emotion, the weight of the moment dawned upon her, and her heart seemed to echo the profound significance of his gesture.
Fantasy 路 JasmineJosef
I'm speechless
Darkness veiled his vision, swaddling him in its quiet grasp, the cold ground whispered secrets of rest and oblivion into his ear, stealing away the pain, the fight, and finally, his consciousness, leaving the silent witness of the moon to bathe his fallen form in a gentle, mournful glow.
Fantasy 路 JasmineJosef
I think so
Another hunter managed to land a hit, with the dagger piercing Rhain's side. The pain told him it was a silver dagger again, causing a wound that wouldn't easily heal. He twisted away from the assailant, using his supernatural strength to throw them off balance before rendering them unconscious.
Fantasy 路 JasmineJosef
Oh No!
The man staggered backward with a muffled groan. Rhain emerged from his hiding spot, sizing him up with a cursory glance. Not a threat, but a potentially costly distraction, he concluded. Just then, his senses screamed a warning. An arrow was streaking through the air, aimed at him. He dodged鈥攐nly to sense another arrow slicing the night air toward him.

They're perfect for each other
"If only I could assist you. Perhaps you could teach me; I find myself with ample time," Daisy suggested, her voice tinged with genuine interest.
Fantasy 路 JasmineJosef
yeah she is
Rhain's eyes flickered open, something intense and almost vulnerable smoldering in their depths. 'Take care of him?' He had long since buried any yearning for nurturing, convinced that it always came with a price attached. No one did anything without expecting something in return. Yet here she was.
Fantasy 路 JasmineJosef
This care, this intimacy, was something Rhain had never permitted himself or even thought of doing. But for Daisy, with Daisy, he could.聽

"Oh..." she exhaled, momentarily disoriented. But then she realized he had elevated her to an optimal height for the task at hand.

She continued drying his hair, the damp strands framing his mesmerizing face. He was exceptionally close now, his eyes locked on hers, exuding an intensity that wasn't sexual, as she would expect after the bath and all the touching he had been doing.聽

He gazed deeply into her eyes, as if searching for her soul. "While I may lack a beating heart or a soul, by whatever measures those are gauged, I've come to realize that there exists within me a space, an emptiness, that your presence alone has begun to fill. If I had the capacity for either a heart or soul, Daisy, you would be their singular obsession."
Fantasy 路 JasmineJosef
"Yes, Daisy. She'll be safer at his residence. Ideally, I'd send you there too, but we must avoid arousing suspicion. As for your mother, it could be construed as nothing more than Tiberius taking a personal interest in her."
Fantasy 路 JasmineJosef
He is a good man
"Tiberius possesses unparalleled self-control, especially where harm is concerned. Initially, he declined my request. Yet, he's here. I believe he's genuinely concerned for her safety," he assured her.
Fantasy 路 JasmineJosef
yes he does
Daisy began to pace, her face etched with conflict. She was extraordinarily protective of her mother, not given to taking risks lightly. Finally, she stopped and looked at him. "Do you truly trust him?"
Fantasy 路 JasmineJosef
Offcourse
He smiled, a hint of mischief in his eyes. "Let's leave the persuasion to Tiberius."
Fantasy 路 JasmineJosef
That's so thoughtful of you Tiberius
Elsewhere, Tiberius found himself in the ornate drawing room, surrounded by the comforting scents of lavender and lemon. Helena had bathed; her damp hair sent a fragrant mist into the air. Despite wrestling with his conscience all night, he had finally decided that he could not turn his back on her鈥攐r on his friend, Rhain.
Fantasy 路 JasmineJosef
He care for Helena
So here he was, again entangling his life with a mortal, a decision that had invariably led to heartbreak in the past. He pondered his options, weighing each choice with the precision of a jeweler inspecting a rare gem. He didn't want to impose upon her, to make her feel as if her status as a divorced woman somehow made her less deserving of respect.

She let out a nervous chuckle, attempting to diffuse the tension. "Yes, indeed, and as you can see, he isn't scary at all. Now come, let's go inside."
