~The Next Morning~ Queen Marlena walked down the passageway that led to Prince Damon’s chamber. She had only one thing in mind. She wanted to know about Miss Maisie. Getting to his doorstep, his guardsmen bowed their heads to their Queen, and made an awareness to Prince Damon that his mother was around to see him. “Mother? Let her in!” Damon answered from inside his chamber, and shortly after, the door opened and the Queen elegantly walked in, dressed in her casual yet elegant corset and ball-shaped skirt. “Mother. What a pleasant surprise.” Damon called with a smile, getting out of his bed. “Of course, a pleasant surprise. I haven’t seen you since the last time we were in the throne room. I was expecting a breakfast proposal from you or Miss Maisie, but I got nothing. I haven’t seen her in days. Is everything alright between you two?” “Everything is alright, Mother. I guess she found out we are not compatible, and so she’s given up.” “Please sit, mother.” Damon further pointed
“What?!” Damon smacked, storming out of his chamber. “They cannot do such a thing! What are they even thinking?!” He ranted as he made his way down the walkway. “Damon, can you please listen to the end?! This anger will take us nowhere! If they don’t do it, they’ll send her away!” Megan yelled from behind him, making him stop abruptly. Before he could look back, Megan ran to him and stood in front of him. “Our father is worried. He’s scared that when she’s all trained and set to fight, she’ll turn against us one day.” “But she’ll never do that.” “And how do you expect to prove that point to the king, hun?? He made up his mind already, and there’s nothing we can do about that. We need to look for what to do next to keep Belinda with us.” “How? What if she totally loses it and we can’t do anything about it? Remember she is yet to know and control her full potential.” “I asked father the same thing, and he said if one of us are not her anchor, then Mr. Theron will take care of the
“What are you doing to her?! Stop it!” Damon yelled as he watched Belinda snarl. Belinda grabbed her head as she began to feel an intense migraine. Every time she opened her eyes, all she saw was Alpha Cephas’ face, and soon, she heard nothing else but his voice. His disgusting and annoying groan anytime he forcefully laid with her. She snarled and growled even louder, and suddenly, she began to shapeshift. She fell to the ground and pressed her hands and knees to the ground like she wanted to pluck it. She threw her head backwards and afterward, her wolf took full control of her body. Keeping her deadly eyes on Mr. Theron, who was now Alpha Cephas to her, she started to approach him, keeping her head low like she was looking for the perfect time and place to attack. Mr. Theron began to move back and immediately, Belinda began to charge at him. “Should they come in now?” King Talos asked under great pressure. Everyone that watched, including Damon, were under great pressure and
Prince Damon took long strides from his chamber to the library to see Mr. Theron. He had so many questions to ask him from what had happened the previous night. Getting to the library, he found Mr. Theron dusting and cleaning some old books from the shelves. “Mr. Theron.” Damon called, making Mr Theron look up. “Prince Damon. Good morning.” He answered with a bow, putting the books on the table, so he could pay attention to what the prince had to say. “I have some questions for you, Mr. Theron, and I’d love for you to be honest with your answers.” Damon uttered, and Mr. Theron nodded slowly, wondering what kind of questions have brought the prince to his abode very early in the morning. “About last night. How did you do it? Why was Belinda calling Alpha Cephas’ name?” Damon started throwing his questions. “Because I made her see him instead of me. It’s also called Hallucination, my Prince.” “I know what hallucinations are, Mr. Theron. But how did you do it? I knew you were a sp
Damon headed to the barracks where Belinda was training, and one his way there, he saw Megan, heading the same way too. “You are going to watch her, aren’t you?” She teased and winked at him, but Damon wasn’t having it. “Not now, Megan.” He responded coldly. “Why? What’s wrong?” She asked worriedly, staring at his face. “I think Belinda and I haven’t been doing a good job keeping our relationship a secret. Mom and Dad think something is happening between us.” Damon answered, and Megan exhaled loudly. “I don’t like the sound of that.” “Neither do I, Megan. Mr Theron even knows I marked her.” He whispered, and Megan’s eyes popped wide open. “What? How did he know?!” “I have no idea, Megan. But it’s Mr Theron. One can’t keep a secret from him forever. Though, he promised not to say anything to our father, and that I should keep things low or I’ll lose Belinda forever. Mother hates the idea of us being friends, talkless of being together, father also cannot let that happen. It’s a
After training, Damon, Megan and Belinda headed back to their residences. Megan suggested they all went to their chamber to talk about the way forward, so they all headed there. Getting to her chamber, Megan locked the door behind them, and when she turned to look at Damon and Belinda, she caught them embracing each other tightly. “I missed you so much, Prince Damon.” Belinda mumbled as she buried her face in his chest. “I missed you so much too. How are you? Any weird things after what happened that night?” Damon inquired, and Belinda shook her head. “Nothing, Prince Damon. It’s almost like nothing happened. I’m glad it’s like this though.” Belinda answered, smiling sweetly at him. “Uhm uhm.” Princess Megan cleared her throat as she slowly approached them. “I’m still here, guys.” She muttered, and they both chuckled, letting go of each other. Damon’s countenance changed from a smiling one, into a sad and worried one, and Belinda noticed this. “What is wrong?” She asked, reachi
Belinda got to the tower a little bit late because of the distraction she met on her way there. She ran up the stairs as she couldn’t wait to see Prince Damon. Getting to the top of the tower, she saw him staring at the sky, beautifully decorated with shining stars. A warm smile lit up her face as she quietly moved closer to him and embraced him from behind behind. His eyes lit up with affection as his lips curled into a gentle, caring smile. “You’re late.” He whispered, turning to look at her. “I’m sorry. I got delayed.” Belinda apologized, and Damon shook his head. “You are elegant tonight.” He complimented. As he gazed into her eyes, his own became entranced, embarking on a journey of exploration across her face. His eyes traversed her delicate features with an almost reverent curiosity, gently tracing the graceful curve of her jawline, the softness of her cheeks, and the subtle arch of her brows.They lingered upon her inviting lips, imagining the taste of a stolen kiss, befo
"Miss Belinda, would you like to present your defense?" King Talos inquired, prompting Queen Marlena to hastily rise from her seat."Is it truly necessary?" Queen Marlena retorted, her voice laced with skepticism. "The evidence is already in your possession. Any words she speaks would surely be falsehoods. Why would anyone concoct such a fabrication?" Isla nodded in agreement, feigning intense discomfort.Belinda came to the realization that Isla had betrayed her, and her previous attempt at an apology was insincere. "She only befriended me to destroy me," Belinda realized, recalling how Isla had taken the necklace from her during their embrace. She was fully aware that the necklace had been in her possession before leaving her chambers.Princess Megan, still bewildered by the situation, rose from her seat. "Father, I believe this accusation is unfounded. Miss Belinda was in my company from yesterday until this morning," Princess Megan asserted, her words drawing Belinda's attention
