I found myself sitting in Harou’s office. He sat on his desk chair while I sat on the couch and we both stared at each other.
“So you’re curious?” He smirked with his arms folded.
I nodded, “I feel like there is something missing,” I replied, “And I feel like you might know.” I had my hands resting on my thighs with my lips slightly pouty since I was a little nervous about this all.
“I might know what?” He leaned against the desk and his smile turned slier.
“You know what Egon and the prince are hiding, right?” I eyed him, “You’re not the type to let things li
>>JenaThe deafening bang of the bullet being fired made me close my eyes in fear. Death loomed over me and I knew I was done for. In recent years, I believed that this would be how I would die and now that this was happening I regretted every single thing about my life.My family, the way I was forced into paying the debt, how I lost myself, and how I abandoned everything to stay alive and keep my sister with me.Everything……Seconds passed and I felt nothing, rather I heard someone groan in front of me.“Who the hell are you!?!” Ron yelled and I shot my eyes open
>>Helga (Lycan Queen)The sound of footsteps running in my direction alerted me and I straightened up.“Your majesty!!” A guard came running to my personal quarters, “The prince is back.” It was a female guard who stopped right outside my room, the door to which was open.I stood up from my seat in a hurry, “Really!” Then I received a cramp, “Ow…” I placed my hand on my eight months pregnant belly and leaned on the dressing table for support. I shouldn’t have done that. I let out a groan.“Your majesty?” The female guard got worried and took a step toward me, “Are you alright?”
>>JenaWhat in the world happened back there?Having to deal with Ron and his psychotic behavior was one thing, I looked to my side where Ulrich was still asleep in the hospital bed, having him appear out of nowhere is not helping.I had no idea someone had followed me inside the building, but even if I disregard that fact, how did he manage to in front of me so fast? I wasn’t near the hallway or the pillars.I frowned and shook my head lightly as I tried to make sense of it.And that guy who came in, he was a little taller than Ulrich but Ulrich seemed scared of him. My frown got deeper.And he called him ‘Your highness’ He even told him he’d make a
>>Portia“He said he’ll open the portal,” Ruda seemed a little nervous, “But he also says that he can’t allow you to stay in the enchanted forest for too long.” It was the first time I met Ruda, we didn’t exactly introduce each other but he was quite polite, but maybe that was because of the lycans.“Any specific reason for that?” Egon asked while he was supporting Ulrich’s weight.This is how bad silver is for us. Even for a lycan, it was brutal enough to burn and rupture his insides.“You can ask the king yourself.” Ruda placed his hand on the huge oak tree, “He would know better,” Mist began to rise from the ground and we four looked down. We were standing in the dense forest whe
>> PortiaFascinating as it was magical, it seemed the creatures of the forest lived inside the humongous tree houses. I couldn’t tell if they were built like this or if they were a part of the tree since it looked as if the houses emerged from within them, they were so closely connected but then again seeing how nicely furnished they were they couldn’t have been just a part of the tree, work was definitely done on it by architects and workers.It was all just so magical, especially since the houses looked so great. Bricks, wood, cement, everything was used in making it, yet it fits in with the forest so perfectly.I wish I could see the insides! I really want to! I glanced at Harou who was keenly observing our surroundings as well. Egon still had his arm around hi
>>PortiaAll eyes were on Harou.So, this is what he meant by doing risky stuff.“Yea, I met him.” Harou glanced at Egon, “I had things I wanted to confirm.” And both Egon and Ulrich got distracted.Egon ignored what Harou said and came over to cover me, “Portia, stay behind.”“Scared I’d kill her too?” Miers smirked, “Like I killed your first mate?” He nodded playfully, “Liza,” Egon got furious, and his lycan begged to come out and rip the enemy apart.Wait… First mate? There was someone before me?
>>PortiaA big fight was about to break out when I yelled, “STOP!” And all of the men quiet down.I clenched my fists. There was a frown on my face, but my eyes were on the enemy, “He’s gone.”The anger left everyone’s expressions, followed by slight surprise and then silence. They turned to look at Miers’ lifeless body. His eyes were slightly open with no sign of life left in them.We all stared at him for a few moments, unsure about what to do now. Were we supposed to do something about the body?I looked at the men, they all had a frown on their faces.“Do
>>Portia“I’m home,” I whispered as I entered Jena’s house, then paused, “Right…” The lights were off and I knew why. Jena must be in the club.I sighed.I should tell her that I’m back home so she doesn’t need to go to the penthouse. I got my phone and texted her exactly that then took a deep breath.I was still feeling queasy.I went to my bedroom and lay down on the bed with my face buried in the pillows. I wasn’t expecting this to take such a turn. After Miers's death, I should have been able to freely be with my mate but this took such a bad and sudden turn.
