Chapter 59: The Pair’s Sensitive Task

With the sudden yet sincere confession from Slavica about marrying her, Gwen was totally stunned on her ground. Slavica might be smiling but when she sensed the sudden stillness from her girlfriend due to what she just said there, she leaned her forehead for a second on Gwen's shoulder. She calmed herself before leaving a kiss on them and then went back to the desk since she has to finish what she has been doing there; packing their stuff.

"What just…happened…" Gwen thought to herself since she felt like everything stopped and suddenly went slow-motion but her mind was totally in such a rush like the beat of her heart.

Even for a second, Gwen has been taken into some flashing images from watching Slavica having fun on a beach. Smiling and laughing with her then there's another scene about them watching the sunset, walking at the shore at night, having dinner, roaming around the street at night or even holding each other's arms. They were both not caring about the world on what they'll think of them. As long they've got each other, nothing else would matter but their love for each other.

"What the…" She muttered while she was seeing those images before her eyes.

Then another scene showed up and it was about them holding hands with their wedding rings and watching their family having fun as well at the beach. Through that sudden images before Gwen's sight, she began more speechless which made her cover her mouth because she's being emotional about it.

"I'm hoping for that one day…" Gwen whispered as her tears suddenly came out of her eyes.

First, she never expects that Slavica has been thinking or desiring to be with her for the rest of their lives. Nobody dares to think that far for her and Slavica was the first one who dared to think about spending everything with her. Then to add that, she suddenly saw images somewhere in the future that she has been hoping to be real one day.

"Hm. Finally done." Slavica smiled as she was done packing the light stuff that they'll bring tomorrow when she suddenly heard a cluttering sound to where Gwen was.

Upon hearing that, Slavica immediately checked on her and she began to get worried as she dashed to Gwen's side. Gwen was crying on the ground while hugging her knees.

"WHAT THE!" Slavica clicked her tongue and appeared in front of her nude but crying lover on the flooring of their bedroom.

"What's wrong, my love? Are you okay?" she asked in her worried tone as she grabbed and put the towel around Gwen's shoulder who seems not to hear her voice.

"Are you hurt or something? Please, tell me. Did I say something hurtful? Did I hurt you? Tell me, my love. Please…" She was totally worried as she doesn't know what to do because she has no idea what was wrong with her lover. Slavica didn't like Gwen's crying side especially when she doesn't know what they meant.

"You…you didn't…do anything wrong…" Gwen smiled while crying and facing her worried lover.

"Then tell me what's made you cry like this? I'm worried, my love." Slavica wiped her tears away.

"Nothing…I'm just grateful for having this love for you. I feel like I'm so blessed that you're the person that I'm loving like this...now, I understand the reason why I keep falling for you…even though there were times we were not affectionate with each other…still, I love you…" She cleared what was making her cry and Slavica smiled before kissing her forehead but Gwen pushed her slightly. Slavica might not like it but she does care for what she was about to tell her.

"You…you already preparing your future with me…you're already including me in your future and spending them with me while staying in the present…nobody does that to me…only you, Slavica…" Gwen kept crying her heart out in front of Slavica who smiled as she sincerely felt what Gwen was trying to express to her.

"I've been alive for I'm not so sure for how long it was already but…when I love someone - you, I have to think of myself and you for our future. I have to change because I love you…I have to because I know this love will grow and it won't easily end. I know it's worthy and I have to be deserving of that love - our love. Do you feel the same as I do?" Slavica expressed as she cupped very dearly the face of her lover.

"Mutual, my love. It's mutual." Gwen smiled lovingly as she leaned over her lover's hands around her face.

"Then let's make it prosper even more." she chuckled and Gwen let herself snuggle into the arms of her lover who loses her balance. Slavica ended up sitting on the floor instead of just kneeling.

But Slavica didn't complain and just let her lover rest on her chest and her arms. Gwen sniffed her scent before giggling and pushing her harshly. Slavica pouted since Gwen was pinching the bridge of her nose while laughing.

"You stink. Go and take a shower." Gwen teased her lover who pouted like a kid.

"I know as I'm about to when I saw you crying…" Slavica pointed out what made her preventing on going to the bathroom.

"Touche." Gwen waved her hand to dismiss her.

"Wanna join me?" she winked at her teasingly.

"Want me to?" she countered with the same intention.

"I asked didn't I?" she pressed and Gwen smirked as she started to feel something in her entire body again.

"Well, we might end up doing it before our marriage, do you still like that to happen?" Gwen asked seriously but at the corner of her lips, she was smiling. Definitely not in a teasing way.

"Nope, marriage first." Slavica chuckled as she scratched the back of her nape trying to hide the fact taht she was feeling the heat as well over their conversation again.

"I thought so. Well, go ahead before I rape you." Gwen shooed her as she was indeed trying to calm herself from advancing to her lover.

"Oh no…just do it on our honeymoon, my love." she pretended to be scared for a second there but she mean the rest of it.

"Vica, go or I won't be able to control myself on making my way on you." Gwen sighed heavily and her eyes flicked with desire on touching her lover that Slavica saw even though it was just in a split of seconds.

"Yikes. You're serious." Slavica get up from the floor and grabbed her clothes because Gwen was totally serious about making her hers.

"I am so, go now." Gwen smirked while biting her lower lips and Slavica shivered as she saw them.

"Yes, ma'am." She immediately run toward the bathroom and when the close went close, Gwen started laughing.

"Oh my, I'm so over the moon with her…I can't get enough of this…I'm getting addicted to her." Gwen muttered to herself as she began on putting her clothes on before preparing a hot tea for the both of them.

As Gwen was waiting for her lover, she went to check things over the desk which were the files that they needed to handle. She began rereading them again and even added the conclusion that they managed to tackle earlier since some incidents came across them that changed some of their plans. But Gwen started scribbling something on a spare piece of paper on the desk.

Singarti Kingdom: Issue Around Missing Pack

Stronghold Pack

- great warriors of the Wolf kingdom

- small pack but the strongest wolf pack.

Findings:

Dark malice of the dead beings

Vanished without a trace

Hidden from everyone

Notes:

1. What caused their deaths and vanished from the radar of the wolves or any supernatural creatures passing their perimeter?

2. What made their deaths hidden from everyone's knowledge, particularly at the wolves and DIP?

3. Who's the real culprit of their sudden vanish?

4. Who managed to survive the pack's fall?

Conclusions:

1. Their death might be caused by a sudden attack from special rogues or witches.

2. They might have something hidden in their pack that only a rightful one could find at the right time and place.

3. A Reaper or witches

4. The mate of the soon-to-be luna of the pack - huntress.

"Hmm, this was indeed a sensitive case for us to deal with." Gwen muttered when she analyzed what she had written on the paper.

"Thinking of something, my love?" Slavica kissed her head when she noticed her lover was preoccupied with the desk. Gwen didn't see her coming out from the bathroom or being near beside her. She was too focused.

"Do the founders have contact with the Alpha King and Queen of Singarti Kingdom?" she wondered and Slavica leaned her ass over the desk while looking at the note that her lover made.

"Yes, it was a direct case from the Alpha King and he doesn't want anybody to know that we're snooping around the vanished pack." Slavica answered as she read her lover's note regarding their case.

"If that was the case, it was indeed fishy." Gwen said in her serious tone.

"Are you telling me that the Alpha King might be having some idea who can do such a thing to their kind?" she could already guess what her lover was trying to say.

"Yes, and you know what drives the fallen rogues around ever since they occur here." she nodded and added what could lead that certain wolf to do bad to their kind.

"Negative energies…jealousy, power, envy, wealth, pain, or unloved." Slavica nodded in understanding.

"Greediness over something causing them, my love." Gwen made it more clear what really drive that certain wolf to do such a thing to their kind.

"Well, they're the strongest pack but they're not that clever like what Aspire from the vampire clan can do." she agreed but she knew that pack was not clever like what some vampires can.

"Nature of wolves being short-tempered." she chuckled because it was the truth.

"True but ever since Belle from the Irismoon pack has born, it was the clever pack in the wolves." Slavica pointed out some changes that were also occurring in the Wolf kingdom

"No wonder why Irina trusted her." Gwen said before yawning and Slavica chuckled over her lover's cute

"True but let's take some rest. We'll be heading there and this note might spike up for more when we get there." Slavica put the note down and grabbed her lover's hands as she gently pulled her away from the desk.

"Very well, then, let's sleep. I've been dying to hold you." Gwen smiled sweetly at her and just let her lover guide her to their bed.

"I know since I am too." Slavica pulled her down to the bed and without wasting any more seconds, Gwen snuggled herself into her lover's body.

As their dreamless sleep took them in, another sunrise was about to hit the ground when Gwen jolted up from the bed and it alarmed Slavica.

"Hey, love, I'm here. What's wrong?" Slavica worried asked since they suddenly get up from their nice dreamless sleep.

"Irina…" Gwen muttered as her eyes were changing colors because she was sensing somebody was trying to connect with her.

"What happens to her?" she asked worriedly but Gwen shook her head before placing her index finger on Slavica's lips. She smiled because it was the only way to shut her mouth.

"Irina, got soemthng for me?" Gwen asked while staring at Slavica's eyes.

'Finally, I get through. Did I wake you up?'

"Yeah, how did you connect with me?" Gwen wondered since she never taught her to do it before that's why she asked.

'Belle. Anyway, we're already at the spot and everything was a ruin…bones and ashes the thing killed them but I'm not sure…there was something in here that none of us could figure out.'

"Leave now and don't go back there until we arrive." she understood and ushered them to leave the area as soon as possible.

'Irismoon pack was already ready for your arrival and don't worry, they were assigned to assist us by their wolf king.'

"Then leave that premises and go back to the pack but before you entered any household, wash your entire body and changed your clothes." she added since she had the hunch that the dark malice might stick on them and it could affect anyone it touched.

'Okay?'

"Cleansing, Irina. It was for your safety." she answered honestly and upon hearing her serious advice, Irina agreed.

'Noted. We'll be waiting.'

As soon as the sudden mind link connection died down, Gwen sighed and let herself slump back on the bed which made Slavica to chuckled.

"It's tiring so don't laugh there." Gwen groaned before pouting.

"I am not I'm just amazed. You're lovely." Slavica was being sweet to her lover who instantly blushed.

"Am I now? Or is it because I'm lying on the bed?" but she arched her left eyebrow as if Gwen was daring her lover.

"Both?" Slavica chuckled and winked her way.

"Flirt." Gwen smiled.

"For you." She responded before she leaned to kiss Gwen's forehead.

"Right. So what time are we going to leave?" She changed the subject as soon as Slavica get up from the bed and started stretching.

"After breakfast." Slavica answered then she head to the bathroom to do her morning routine but Gwen beat her to use the bathroom. Gwen chuckled as she slammed the door of their bathroom to Slavica's face.

"BABE!" Slavica whined and for a second there, Gwen opened the door and pulled her collar to get inside the bathroom. Both of them do their own morning routine but not doing any couple of things inside. They just went on their own morning routine at the same time.
