Thank you for reading guys.
Selena tucked him in after feeding him dinner and having a good time. Staring at him, she trailed her finger over his face and wished every day would be like that without Cher's interruption."I don't know how you feel about me but I just hope you know that I am as confused as you may be. When I heard that I was going to marry you, I felt like the world would just crash. I wanted to kill myself. But then I thought, what's the difference? My life has always been determined." She whispered as she was already lost in the beauty of the man laying on the bed, hoping he was fast asleep."Even though I'm a model woman for the public, I always have to keep my flaws. I wasn't allowed to slouch." Sighing in despair, she rose and went to sleep with her back to him but was shocked when Alex turned and wrapped his arms around her."You've been awake all this time?""Mmh." He moaned as he pulled her closer and kissed her head."Thank you.""For what?" She asked, her eyes still wide in shock."For c
Ethan took a balanced stance and made sure to have a careful aim, drew back the bow, and shot at the circular board that stood a few feet away from the room. The room was empty except for the dirt that scattered around the perimeters and rags that hung over the walls."I see you haven't lost your wit," Krepe called wryly from behind him."It's all in the arm, Uncle." Ethan dropped his weapons on a wooden chair that stood in the middle of the room. "Any plans yet?""Oh, yeah, I just have an idea." Krepe gathered the arrows and took his position in front of the board. "I just realized we might have to hasten things up and strike." He carried a black sophisticated bow, placed his arrow at a good position, and pulled his arm backward, his thumb held at the point where he targeted. The centre.There were other ways of passing the time, and the pub on the other side of the road was as interesting as the royal hall in the palace. Ethan hadn't fully seemed healed from the misfortune that befe
Alex looked at his best friend sitting on the other end of the table in the Luxury garden. A royal garden created by the best gardeners of Forester and named by King Rex I of Lexsborough, Alex's grandfather. It held most of the rarest flowers and very beautiful plants too. Tourists would sometimes come to have a look at it and have a good time once a year."So, how has life been with you and your wife? Ever since I went for service, contacting you has been hard."Kit, a twenty-four years old handsome man with curly black hair filling his head and filling his forehead and his eyes having a purple impression around them, more like violet. They always blazed under the sun and they did right now. Kit is his Father's only son. His father was stinkingly rich and ensured his son joined the human army in New Jersey. He had left Forester as soon as Alex was crowned the King. He came back to hear about his marriage."Going well, I guess.""You don't know how happy I am. Not to mention the fact
Cher dabbed a tissue at his face to clean the last part of egg yolk that was plastered on his face. She exhaled when she was done.Alex could only sit there, the images flashing before his eyes. The people mocking him and Selena's expressionless face. He clenched the necklace so hard it broke. He felt a soft hand on his shoulder."I know you must be disappointed."Alex frowned. "Disappointed?"She ignored him and went about putting away his dirty clothes and the tissues."I know what it's like getting attacked by these angry mobs.""You do?" He said cautiously wondering if she was regaining her memory already.Although her back was turned to him, he could see her tense."Come now, my Lord, you know exactly what I'm talking about. The people of Forester clearly hate you. I don't know why because from what I know of you, you're the best King one could ask for. And I must say that I admire your courage to face your people even though you know they are very scary.""Yes, thank you," he sa
Settling on the chair at the extreme end of the dining table, Selena grabbed a fork as she tried pushing down asparagus through her mouth. It's been hours since she last ate healthy food.She tried to ignore the uneasiness that was welling inside of her as she thought of Alex sleeping beside Cher tonight. What if they mate? Her imagination was running wild but could she take chances? She'd always assumed the thought of Alex sleeping with another woman won't get her all worked up but this time was different. Thinking of Alex merely sleeping in Cher's room was getting her all worked up a thousand times. She twirled her fingers around the fork as if it was her thoughts.Surely, whatever she'd felt tonight might have been because of her desire to make things work between the two of them only to be disappointed in the end. Wasn't she simply trying to convince herself she could indeed be the wife he wished? Trying hard to satisfy him and help him until he said it himself that he is better
Waking up to her surrounding, she could perceive the salivating aroma of toast, apple pie, and her favorite, mashed potatoes. Who knew about that? She flicked open her eyes and as she looked at the window, she noticed it was late night already but the moon isn't out yet.She tried sitting up but her head throbbed. Touching it, she remembered what had happened earlier."You're awake, Selena. What a sleeping beauty."Selena turned towards the beautiful voice and it was Alex sitting by a study desk in a corner of the room, a book in hand. She wondered if he had watched her sleep. He must have been watching her toss back and forth the bed and how she had been snoring. She gasped as she covered her mouth. Had she been snoring indeed?"I actually enjoyed watching you sleep. The martial skills you showed back there, would love if you tried that with me." He dropped the book he was reading and when he turned to her, his face was dangerously sexy. His eyes had a hidden message beneath and his
"I have a feeling we would be busted soon. The King is suspecting and things are getting out of hand.""Why didn't you strike as I told you to?""Killing the King right away will only bring up questions and suspicions from the people. Although they hate him, I think that's one of the reasons why he's more popular. According to the papers, in the lineage of the Rexes, he's impressively the most sought-after King in the whole country. I'll say we lay low and go on with the attacks instead of killing him. One knife on his neck, I'm a goner, your plans will crash and...""I can't say how impressed I am by your commitment to fighting for what belongs to us. Charlotte, you deserve to be the Queen of the Hyena clans." Krepe shook his head, obviously proud of his daughter who had come visiting.However, her facial expression was distant as she spoke, her cloak sweeping the office floor."But we are not Hyenas. And you know very well, the Hyenas have their royal family who has the right to bec
Alex gingerly picked his way down the gravel path to go outside the palace and check what was going on. The howling had stopped but he needed to confirm. He walked past the royal garden. A garden that has welcomed guests in the years past now and will probably be invaded by their enemies if he doesn't fight this war with his power.Alex gritted his teeth, anger firing his blood as it did when he first saw his sister murdered in cold blood. He could also remember from childhood when his stepmother died. As always, his fury mixed with a grudging attitude to how stupid and weak his father had been to have allowed all his family to be killed. Now they are seeking to kill him but he would make sure he lets them know he is smarter and wiser. Everywhere was silent and when he got to the bushy part where nobody was staying and it was miles away from his palace, all he could hear was the cricket sound."I know you're out there. Come outside and show yourself."If not for the obligation thrust
