Selena touched her head which was now covered in a bandage, noticing the absence of pain. A young petite woman with bobbed black hair that curved her round face. The strong smell of antiseptic washed through her nose, causing her to retch. The nurse turned, holding her shoulders to calm her.
"You're awake, your Highness."
"Where am I? Where's Alex?"
"The King has come to check on you many times but since you were still asleep, he insisted on not waking you up. Should I go and call him?"
She raised a hand to stop her. "No. Just leave it."
The nurse dropped the scissors and several other tools in the drawer, locked it, and went outside. A few moments later, a knock sounded on the door and a head popped in. It was Cher.
"What do you want?" She had on a straight face as the other woman entered.
"Look," Cher sighed. "I don't mean to punish you
Selena sat on the edge of the bed, facing the window through which the evening sunset glided through. She thought of everything Cher had told her earlier. Was she being a fool by putting Alex above everything else? All of her decisions were always crowned by what Alex wanted. She was head over heels for him.The orange glow of the sun reflected through the transparent glass window and the flowers planted outside danced to the tune of the gentle breeze, spelling another day of escaping death. Her heart squeezed at the thought. At one point last night, she had given up and had thought that was the last time she would be alive, thanks to Alex. Or Cher.What was with the sudden change in Cher? Although she is still the bad bitch that she had always been, she actually helped her escape death. And now, she seemed to be on their side against the Hyenas. Epic.The door opened gently and closed. She could feel someone walk toward
Drake flung the glass cup in his hands at the plastered wall before him and the object shattered. Just like his ego. He had thought he had the chance and opportunity to finally kill him and get it over with. His plan had been going on fine until it took a turn on him. Turns out Alichino had been practicing harder than he thought.He should have known when Selena was strong enough to contend with him. Clenching his fist and letting out a frustrated sigh, Krepe walked into the room, looking all worn out and confused.He had finished using his body and thought of using Drake. Unfortunately, Alichino had caught him long before he could think of going after Selena. That King was too smart."What had been going on, Drake?" Krepe asked, lips pursed."You're asking me?" Drake tilted his head, knowing full well what he meant.Throughout the times he borrowed his body, he had been unconscious partially.
Selena rose with so much vigor and energy as the morning sun shone into the room. She looked behind her and saw Alex unclad on the bed. He was sleeping soundly and she didn't want to disrupt that. Watching his the soft rising and falling of his chest, she sighed and left the bed, naked.Last night had been one of her best moments with Alex and she didn't wish for it to end. Looking at the mirror by the wall, she could see a fierce-looking brunette staring back at her. Her wide brown eyes complimented her hair and white skin. Her small red lips twitched as she looked at herself all over. No wonder she had been made the lady model of the Kingdom. That was all they thought was the reason why she got the title. Her nice body and beauty. But isn't that what Alex had enjoyed about her too? He didn't see her fiesty and fierceness. He thought of her as weak. But she had to show him she wasn't. How she would do that, she doesn't know.W
The Grub street in Forester smelt of rotten seaweed, a bitter smell emanating on the breeze from the drying mud banks of the nearby stream. With every step that his horse had taken from the palace, he had passed clusters of people hailing him and respecting him. In a strange way he felt proud that they were slowly accepting him as their King and not the devil Prince, although if it had been so, he would embrace it willingly since that's what he really is. If there's one thing he learned, it's that people often look at their destiny with fear, while the stronger ones embrace theirs and mold it to fit into what they want eventually. As he rode past the street and crossed to the field, he pulled up the collar of his coat against the wind and the memory of what had happened at the Hyenas territory flashed through his head again.Soon, he was on the field where green trees and grasses spread out. The place was quiet, save the distant cries of birds and it was empty m
A loud bang made her flutter her eyes open suddenly and the first thing she saw was nothingness. It was empty and a thick darkness encompassed her. The banging continued and she managed to stand up, looking around for a light to ease the pressure of the darkness. The drumming suddenly stopped, leaving an eerie silence and the swirling goose down in whirlpools of air. Selena tried to run, but something held her down to her toes—she sensed that what she was about to confront was beyond human comprehension.A bright light flashed towards her and she raised her arm to block its brightness. The long thin panel that guarded a passageway which showed up opened before her and a burning flame was outside. She walked towards the door, careful enough not to let the light cross her arm to her eyes as it was blinding. She got through the doorway and what she saw made her heart jolt.Before her was a tall figure that had a stature like her father. S
Selena pounced on her father with the intention to drag her claws across his face but he slid back and made her fall. He laughed curtly."Surely, you both didn't come to fight me, did you?" Drake asked, looking from Selena to Alex.Alex straightened and walked closer."I won't intervene. She came to prove something. I leave you to her.""So, what was your own business between father and daughter?" He asked, a brow raised whole Selena managed to rise."Because she belongs to me and it's my duty that I protect her.""But you just said you won't intervene."For a while, the two men stared at each other."Fine." Alex finally spoke up. "I leave it to Selena."Selena shifted back to her full self, drew out two long knives from her pumps, and swerved them efficiently at her father who dodged consequently. She breathed
Selena made her way into the V.I.P infirmary that morning before 7:00 am to check on Ethan. When she got in, Ethan looked up from where he lay on the bed."Hey." He called weakly before looking down again, probably out of guilt."You doing okay?""Yes." He raised a hand. "I'm stronger than I look.""For someone who stood up against an Alpha, strong is an understatement."He shook his head. "When I did what I did, I thought I was right. I wanted to vent my anger on everyone. I tried to take off my mind the fact that I had caused my loved ones to die. But then, I realized, I was just too weak to face my fears. So they kept chasing me and torturing me.""I understand. I hear you came back wounded and for a split second, I wanted to believe that you came because you had a plan. I mean, we've had two people do this to us." Selena processed the load of words Ethan
“What are we going to do now Alex?” Selena asked him as she could read the worry on his face. Rather than answer his wife’s question, he stared at her with a lot of things going through his mind. The thought of the relentless demon, Sathanas finding the book before them was something he could not conceptualize. That will be the end for him and his dear wife Selena. He needed to find the book at all costs and also as fast as he could.Sathanas is the main reason he has not returned to hell to rule as that will mean the end for him. He had a feeling Sathanas was also here on earth for the same objective. Sathanas was a demon who has been trying to kill him since he was created, just like Bagdana told him. The book was the only way he could defeat Sathanas. If he can find it, he will be able to return to hell to assume his position. The last time he was in Ney York
