Alex grabbed Bagdana out of Selena's room to the drawing room as he made to inquire about what he just told him. "What did you mean by activating my orb? I still don't get you." "Well, Alichino..." "Alex." He corrected, eyes shut tightly in frustration. "It's Alexander, thank you. You may proceed." "So, according to the book which I told you about. It's called the Galaxus. It was compiled by ancient idols and spirits and poltergeists and many more. We had from Jove, Poseidon, and damn, I even got from the goddess of wisdom, Athene..." "Just cut to the chase, will you?" "Okay, the thing is. You can't really understand unless I have the book. The only thing I remembered when creating you...I mean the orb was that your powers will be activated when you mate with your fated partner. I quoted the book." He looked up as if he was trying to remember more words. "And the person..." "Why didn't you choose my brother?" He asked and it was as if he has had the question for years. "Why n
"Selena?" He called gently and she was sure he was shocked by the way she acted but she had just learned something vital from what he had said when he said he didn't want her to leave the Palace. He must have cared so much for her and she was grateful for that. "I'm sorry if I had been so harsh earlier. I know I shouldn't have been disrespectful, given how you just want to protect me." She looked up at him, a small smile playing on her lips. "Thank you." "Um..." He chuckled nervously as if he was lost for words and didn't know what to say. "That was...today is your birthday, just enjoy it." Slowly, he disentangled himself from her embrace and walked past her but she grabbed his arm. "I can't enjoy this birthday until I see my Dad. Can't I go just this once?" Alex groaned and turned. "You don't seem to understand, do you?!" He spat. "Every corner is dangerous and I cannot risk losing another member of the palace." Her heart sank. He didn't want her to go because he didn't want t
It has been two hours already since she had a discussion with Alex and she decided to wait in her room for her Father. Many things crossing her mind. Marrying Alex had involved lots of uncertainty. It felt like she was marrying a total stranger but marrying him seemed good which is something she guessed is a good sign he was meant for her and they may end up forever. After Craig's death, she thought of freedom, she thought she would be finally free from marrying her father's choice, she thought she would be able to travel freely, fall in love and get married to the man of her dreams but she didn't expect another marriage proposal a day after Craig died. But had she really moved on? She asked herself. Hadn't she given in to her feelings again, trying to make Alex fall for her too? Was he right when he said she was still grieving Craig? Even Craig didn't make her blood boil in excitement just like he did, so of what effect is his death on her romantic life? What's more important is
"Then I shall see you some other time when I'm not busy with work." Drake kissed his daughter's forehead as they walked out to the hallway."It's okay." In spite of being in her best behavior, her voice had a begrudging and breathless quality. "That's what you've always done. Work.""What about I take you out to dinner tonight to celebrate your birthday?" Selena just smiled and shook her head before walking back to her room. He watched her walk with dignity and pride and his heart swelled with pride. Exactly what he'd always dreamed of."Why suggest tonight? Don't you have other things engaging you?" A deep voice sounded behind him. It was intense."I am... engaged this evening." He needed to see his acquaintance immediately, especially with what he'd just discovered but he must be careful so as not to blow his cover.He turned to look into the eyes of a tall, dark man with interesting eyes. He was smiling knowingly at him. The man looked strange and Drake wondered what he was doing i
Selena in her purple crepe dress looked beautiful and her brown wavy hair cascaded down her back, sweeping her body gracefully. Alex watched her walk through the aisle gently in the art showroom. He had asked her to dress up for the adventure and brought her here later that afternoon. They had three guards following them.Indeed, this woman before him was beautiful and down to earth. And he had been right about her. She was indeed a flower. A beautiful one in fact and he didn't mind at all that she might have been gifted to him to manipulate him. He just wished right now that she'll be impressed by all he had planned to do for her and they could get down that night."These are wonderful." Selena ran her hands through the historical artifacts that were displayed in a glass box. "I didn't quite picture you as an art lover and how did you know I love art.""Aunt Ellie." He coughed so that the words turned out to be incorrigible and he was grateful she didn't hear or maybe she did."I won
CHER Until she started working for her Father, she hadn't had the thought of escaping his orders, his command, and his laid-out procedures for her. She had never thought of walking away. But now that she had been with the royals, Selena's life had taught her something. Humans can evolve in terms of developing feelings. It only has to start from somewhere. She squeezed the lemon hard until her fingers dug into its flesh and furs were beginning to cover her hands. "Ouch?" She cried as the lemon juice went right onto her face. What has been happening to her these days? It seems as though her powers were uncontrollable and much as she tried to conceal her Wolf, they always seem to try and come outside. To do what? Take a peek. She ran her hands over the furs and whimpered. It was scanty and painful. Her bones were cracking and all she could do was sit down on the floor of the kitchen, and cry it away till it hurts no more. There were no maids or cooks in the Kitchen but they could e
DRAKE "Our cover is blown." Drake glanced up at his friend who stood by the fireplace. "What do you mean our cover is blown?" Krepe drew his brows together. "That scruffy little child who became King overnight has gotten another clue and is one step ahead of us. Is there something we're not doing?" Drake said with an air of disdain. Krepe shot him an impatient glance. His friend shrugged as if to say it was all in his hand if Alex had found out so quickly as he had planned on taking things slowly. Now they don't even have a backup plan. "What's our next move, Krepe?" "We attack." "Why?" Surely he must be drunk. A churn formed in the pit of his stomach. Krepe walked towards his phone and dialed a number. "Hello, I'd like to know how ready you all are. From what I can see here, things are about to get bloody." "What? That quick? What the hell are you planning man?" So, in a few hours' time, this man had planned to attack Forester and even he does not know about it. His heart san
KING ALEX A grey wolf walked stealthily towards the park, a blue flower held between his jaws. He looked around, his nose sniffing to catch any scent, which he did get. Selena's scent. But where was she? He shifted back to his six feet self and walked to where he had asked Selena to wait for him. "Selena?!" Alex yelled out her name and kept moving around the perimeter of the park. He'd never been this worried about losing someone. Not even when Amelia had gone missing and he wondered if the same had happened to Selena. He grabbed his hair and his eyes stung. He yelled and screamed. It has happened yet again. Another of his loved ones gone. He climbed the trees to get a better view of the park but couldn't still see a glimpse of Selena. Where the hell is she? "She's driving me nuts!" He yelled. He would be greatly annoyed at her if he finds out Selena had only gone for a walk or was impatient and had walked out of the park but he will be more annoyed with himself if she had been
