"It's fun, Nayla. It's fun!" He answered, equanimity showing in his face. The place became graveyard silent. Nayla looked into his eyes as she crossed the distance between them. She stepped on the leg of one of the tigers and jumped in fright. She stopped a few steps away. The first thing she looked for was his fingernails. She was shocked to see them retreating back, just like that lycanthrope in that night. "You..." She tried making a sentence. Verin looked at her, patiently waiting for whatever she wants to say. His heart seemed to be scared, due to the never ending poundings. He felt scared, like he didn't want her to say or know anything about him yet. He knew that she had her doubts about him not being normal but he didn't want to tell her anything yet."You're not... Normal" she finally managed to say the words. "You know all along, why acting surprised?" He tried to hide his fears by smirking at her as if not bothered that she knows something. She was quiet. Yes... He was

She breathed in and out for a while and turned to him, he was already walking towards her. When he got to her, he gathered her in his arms."I'm okay" she protested"You're not, be grateful I'm helpful to you" he hissed."I did not ask for your help" she tried arguing. Verin loosen his hold and dropped her on the floor. She winced in pain as she brushed her butt. "Ouch" her mouth twitched at him as she short dead glares at him. He walked passed her as if he wasn't bothered by her glares. "Where are we going now?" She asked. "Back to the palace, where else do you want to go?" He asked, still walking without looking at her.She got up and tried meeting him, but she wasn't fast enough. She was staggering here and there that she bumped her head on one of the tree. "Hold on" she called out. Luckily, he obeyed and halted for her to reach his side. She managed to reach him and rested her hands on his shoulders. "You're slow" he smirked. "I'm feeling lightheaded because of the poison an

Verin calmly walked to her and carried her in his arms as he kept walking. Her skin started to turn bluish purple. She was in danger. His heart started racing. She needs a physician's attention. He started leaping from one tree to another, and then to a hill to the other. He stood at a hill. He could see a village just some miles ahead. He jumped on another hill that led to the starting point of the village. Verin increased his steps as he got to an ancient old house. A young lady who looked like she was in her early forties came out into the frontage. She saw Verin holding Nayla.Her faced twisted in worry as she realized Nayla's condition. "Oh dear, what happened to her?" She asked as she walked towards them.Verin was trying to control himself from worrying. "She... She's in danger.

Nayla walked to him and also climbed on his horse. She immediately rapped her arms around his waist. Verin chuckled. "You're scared, aren't you?" "I'm not" she protested. Getshan and Lewan also took their horses and with that, everyone rode away. It was as if Verin was in a competition with his brother and Lewan. They were fast but he made sure they couldn't keep up with him. He was so fast that Nayla's hold were slowly loosening up. She rapped them again, very tightly. Her chest, pressed against his back. Her head laid on his back as well as she closed her eyes. She was thrilled and yet, scared. This is fun. Verin noticed the inconvenience she was facing and slowed down his movements. But Nayla's next words surprised him."Don't worry because of me, go as fast as you want" she had told him"Aren't you scared?" He looked over his shoulder, with creased brows. "Not at all. It's fun" she replied with so much thrill. "But you were just rapping your hands around me, for dear life"

"So did the fairy later found her powers and got her wings as well?" Bella suddenly asked."Yes, she did. You know what, she was the most powerful fairy and was even the lost princess of the kingdom. Her prince charming came at the right time, making her feel loved and appreciated..." I replied with a broad smile. I love this story. It was one of my best books. It was kind of similar to my life story as well. Since I was different from my brothers and stepbrothers as well, I was never loved. Though, I had Rana and Kesha, I still felt abandoned.

Nayla looked at Skyler with so much questions in her eyes."I can't say much because Verin forbade us to, but I can assure you that, he isn't as bad as you think" Skyler continued. " Nayla... " Little Bella called their attention. A maid stood there with the little one. " I didn't see you, I thought you left me " the girl said, innocently." I didn't leave you and I won't. Not until I find your parents okay " Nayla walked to the girl. " You still need to sleep okay. I'm sorry Skyler, we'll talk tomorrow " Nayla told him. " It's okay.

The bathroom was beautiful. The shining mirrors, the beautiful glass windows. The big bath. I started going inside the bathroom, admiring and gaping at the comfortability he had made.He was truly a man of enjoyment.I stood by the bath, still admiring. It was filled up and covered with foam. I was starting to get a little bit tempted but I managed to hold my ground. No no Nayla, you can't afford to backslide. My hatred for him had started to disappear a little but I was still his maid.

I want someone who would make me happy and know how it feels to be loved. To me Love surpasses all comfortabilities in the universe. Suddenly I felt strong hands holding my wrist as someone emerged from the foamy water. It was Verin.The way he had come out of the water startled me that I jumped in fear.

..."Nayla, are you perhaps chanced. I'm feeling bored, could we knit together?" Asked Lyla. I had just put little Bella to sleep, she was much more calmer than before. Maybe because she knows her parents were coming to fetch her back and she was so ecstatic about it. "Yes sure." I replied.As we were going to Lyla's room, I suddenly bumped into someone."Rana!" I screamed with joy and surprise. "Nayla! How are you?" Rana's eyes started to well up."I'm alright, how are you here? Why are you here?" I asked, confused but my happiness overshadowed them."I'm a servant here" her head fell low as she stared at the floor.I was bewildered. My friend was spared? "You weren't killed?" I asked Rana."No. Alpha Verin spared my life. He only made me to become one of the maids here"I was surprised. Verin could actually spare her life, despite her being the maid of his enemy?" I'm still on serious observation. The maid's head is seriously keeping an eye on my every move" she told me as if sh
