22 days to her birthday
Sunday
Liam was no where to be found after the wedding. He might have went somewhere to numb his pain. What if the reason why he never asked me out was because he knew I wasn't his? I thought
We were ushered to the big hall after the wedding and everybody screamed when they saw us coming
"Ladies and gentlemen" a young man said while standing on the podium "Welcome our alpha, Alex Mixed and our queen, Irene Mixed"
They all howled and I waved, trying to act as calm as possible because I was shaking inside. The fact that I might lose to Amara and put my race under his foot forever was terrifying.
Alex spoke to the crowd while I stood by his side, smiling at people that were doing everything possible in order to catch my eyes

"Are you nervous?" Darcy asked me as she was combing my hair to the
21 days to her birthdayMondayI could hardly walk straight when I woke up the next morning and I wondered if this was what sex was all about.Alex wasn't in the room when I woke up which I was grateful for since I knew how awkward this morning would have been if he was.Someone knocked on the door and I adjusted my sitting position on the bed"Who is there?" I asked"Sophia" the girl at the door replied"You may come in"She opened the door and stepped inside."Your highness, Liam want to see you when you're less busy"Liam, I thought and I smiled. I'd wanted to see his beautiful face since yesterday"Okay, tell him I will be right there""Okay"I got out of the bed instantly and rushed to the bathroom"Liam" I called and smiled at him when I saw him. He was sitting on a stool in the hallway"Your highness" he said and bow his head slightl
20 days to her birthdayTuesdayI woke up in the middle of the night and saw Alex sitting on couch, he was deep in thought but it only took him about two seconds for him to know that I was awake"Hey" I smiled"I heard you broke your ribs, how are you feeling?"Oh shoot! I'd forgotten all about my broken ribs until he asked me. I touched it and felt no pain"I guess I'm fine now" I said and smiled but he didn't returned it.He got out of the couch and came to the bed"I heard you almost lost" he whispered"But I didn't""But you almost""But..." He raised his hand up in the air and stopped me from speaking"I don't think you know what this, everything is all about? I don't think you know what is at stake here? It's not about us, it's about our future. One single mistake from you might cost us everything""I know..." He raised up his hand in the air again and I
19 days to her birthdayWednesdaySabrina sat me down on a golden chair and put a crown on my head"The meeting is about to start" she whispered into my face "it's going to be the last meeting. All princesses are to meet in few minutes time"She started casting some spells and within seconds, everything changedI found myself on an olden bed in a room, which seemed like mine and I was looking at nothing in particular when somebody called my name"Irene"The voice was extremely familiar even though I had no idea who was calling me"I'm coming" I said and got out of my bedI opened the room door and stepped inside the longest and the most beautiful hallway that I've ever seen. I turned left and headed to where the voice came from"Oh!" a girl that looked like me stepped into the hallway from another room and said "she called you too. I guess it's time. You might not reme
19 days to her birthdayWednesdayAfter resting for few hours, I went out of my room and asked Sabrina about Darcy's whereabouts"She should be in her room, your highness" she replied"Where is her room?""The third room by the second hallway. Should I come with you your highness?""Don't worry, I gat this"I opened the door to her room"Oh! Baby more" someone moaned and I tried to slipped away but the people inside the room already knew about my presence.Someone rolled off the bed instantly and Liam's eyes looked back at mine."Liam" I called quietly in disbelief"Irene"Liam, I thought and almost cried. I knew I was married but somehow it still hurt. I thought I knew Liam but I don't"I'm sorry, I was... looking for Darcy, I didn't mean to disturb you guys" I said and turned back to leave"Irene" Liam called "Wait!"I closed the door and walke
18 days to her birthdayThursdayAfter being dressed in a golden armour, Sabrina handed me a sword and looked straight into my eyes, she was scared"Is there something you need to tell me?" I asked"No your highness. I know you can do this" she replied "Your mission is to meet the great Adrian Sargon and ask him for the Zia stone""Why do I have to meet my father like this?" I asked her even though I knew the reason"You will find out when you get there""And even if I have to fight my way in, I don't know how to use a sword""You're a natural fighter your highness" she replied and started casting her spellsI found myself outside a fenced building"This must be where dad is" I thought and wondered how to get in since the fence was too high for me to climb.I walked round the fence twice to see if there might be a way in but I found none. So, I made up my
18 days to her birthdayThursdayTwo Sabrina took something from my hand and ran out of the room. I was partially unconscious. Everything I was seeing were in two."She got the Zia stone!" I heard Sabrina screamed in the hallway and I imagined her raising the box up in the air"Irene! Irene!" People started shouting in the hallway and I used all the strength in me to get upSomeone opened the door and rushed to me, it was Darcy"Let me help you" she said"Thank you"She helped me out of the armor and hugged me "I've always knew you are our savior""I wouldn't have made it if not for my sisters"She held my hand and we both walked out of the ritual room"Hail Irene!" Alex howled into the air and the rest followed.Even though I did nothing to earn the praise, I was still proud of myself. I took my hand out of Darcy's hand and walked to Alex.He looked at
17 days to her birthdayFridayI was unable to sleep after what I heard in the midnight. Nobody ever told me that Amara Conrad was going to eat my heart if I lose to him and just thinking about it alone was driving me crazy.Thankfully, it was morning and a knock on the door took my mind off my horrible fate."Your highness" Darcy said and sat down on the couch that was in the room "How are you feeling this morning?""A little bit okay" I replied and sat up "Did I did great last night?""More than great your highness, it took me three weeks to do what you did last night"Someone knocked on the door and we stopped talking"Your highness" a male voice said "His highness want to see you and Darcy now""Okay. We're on our way"We left the room and Darcy took me to another room which wasn't far from the one we used in the midnight where Alex and Sabrina were waiting for us"We'r
17 days to her birthdayFriday"What!?" Liam said alarmedlyAlex got out of his seat instantly and looked at Liam"Go get the army ready" he commanded Liam, and Liam, Tanner and the other guy started heading out of the roomThere came three extremely loud sounds the moment Alex stopped speaking BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! And the next thing I knew, I was on the ground.The sound of the explosion continued ringing in my ears for almost a minute after it had exploded and that made it very hard for me to get up."Get the princess out" I heard Alex commandingSand was now raining on us and the room had became too dusty to the extent that you couldn't see the person next to you not to talk of the way out of the room but, I knew what was at stake and I wasn't ready to lose to him.I forced myself up and tried to navigate my way out of the raining sand but I couldn't see anyt
