/ ABBY /I closed my eyes, expecting my end. It was sad to know I would die here, in this dark and lonely place without even remembering who I was. I wished Zhask was here with me. I didn't think he abandoned me. I knew he would never do that. I was sure of it. But I guessed he could be dead by now too. The thought made me feel nauseous.My tears streamed down my cheeks and I wept hard as I stood almost to the edge of the embankment.I heard the man cocking his head. I never opened my eyes. I waited for the sound of the gun, waited for the inevitable pain.Suddenly, I heard a bang. But strange enough, nothing happened to me. I didn't fall or got hit. So I opened my eyes and to my surprise I found Zhask in a hospital gown, strangling the man with his bare hands. And the gun was on the ground.My eyes lit up to see him there and hope was building up inside of me."Zhask!" I called.He looked at me and smiled. "Run!" He warned as he continue to strangle the man. There was fear in his eye
/ ABBY / Zhask wrapped his arms around me while I cried against his chest. I still couldn't believe what I just did. It happened so fast. All I ever remembered was how angry I was and how much I wanted to kill him.Zhask rubbed my back gently with his hands. The gesture calmed me down a bit. I stopped crying and tried to take in some deep breaths. "You did not kill him," he spoke softly in my ears. "It was Safira, your wolf. She only wanted to protect you."I raised my head to look at him and furrowed my eyebrows. "Who?" I asked, curious."Safira… sweet and gentle, Fenrer's dearest," he said with a gentle smile and touched my face. He wiped my tears with his thumb. "There's a lot you need to know about her, and I would be much willing to tell you everything now that she's awake."I broke away from him after realizing I had been too close. I felt so connected to him earlier after knowing he had come to save me but now that I have come to my senses, it suddenly felt too awkward.I wipe
/ ABBY / I let Zhask sleep on the bed and he fell asleep so fast. He must have been exhausted from all that fight earlier.I sat on the couch in the living room, drinking coffee and contemplating all the terrible things that happened the past few days. But yes, so far I didn't die. I just couldn't help but wonder about his inner wolf inside me. Safira, right? And why did those bad men kept calling me Princess? Oh right, Zhask told me he was a prince back in his kingdom and he said I was his mate so that must be why I was a princess too. But what about my parents? What about the bloodshed they were talking about, and why would they want to kill me? Who were the enemies? Did Zhask got betrayed in his kingdom? I had so many questions to ask him but I had to let him sleep for now. He deserved that sleep.I sipped on my coffee and listened to my surroundings. It was midnight and it looked so quiet now. It was probably a good time to talk to her. Saf
/ ABBY /Their jaws dropped in surprise.I heard Genebeth's gasps. "No kidding?" Genebeth asked, unable to believe it."No, I know what you're thinking. It's not like that," I kept explaining, but they didn't seem to believe me."Abby…. are you… pregnant?" Adam asked, just exactly what I was expecting him to ask.I glared at Zhask for giving them the wrong answers. But he acted so proud of himself for saying that."No, I'm not," I defended myself. "Don't believe him, he's only joking.""Then why are you living with him?" Adam asked again.But this time, it was Zhask who answered, "Why? Is she not allowed to live with me? She's mine.""Yes, but she just met you! And Goodness, you don't even know her?! You're a stranger to her!" Adam argued.I could feel the tension heating up around us."I don't know her? Perhaps it's YOU who doesn't know her!" Zhask retorted, glaring at Adam w
/ ZHASK / Fenrer had been restless in my head ever since that Adam guy came to our apartment. He told me he sensed some danger in him and I told Greya about it. She didn't seem to believe it though."How could you be so sure?" she kept asking me."My senses are always accurate," I replied as I finished my breakfast. "Be careful."She shook her head. "I'm going to school today by the way. And I can't just avoid him, because we're literally in the same class.""You don't have to go to school. You're a princess and by the time we get back to our kingdom, you will have to take different classes, one that you will certainly love."I heard her laugh. "I don't even remember what I love.""One day, you will," I told her, feeling hopeful that she might recover her memories anytime soon. She loved studying the stars, the forests, the wind, and magic. She loved fighting with swords but she was also good with physical fights every time she shift into her wolf. I planned to show her everything sh
/ LYLION – the Royal Guard /Eastern Werewolf KingdomBlood Moon PalaceThe Council gathered in the throne room today to speak about the concerns of the kingdom and again, the Alpha Prince would not be there. He had been absent for days and I had made up an excuse that he wasn't feeling well. But as the days went by, the council had grown restless and weary of the excuse I had provided for them and I was certain some of them were already feeling suspicious by now. Especially Beta Caden because he always had his nose in every business of His Highness. Soon, he would know where His Highness went.My Master had failed to come back immediately as we had planned. Now we had to make up lots of excuses for his absence as we waited for his return, which unfortunately wouldn't happen until a few weeks from now on the night of the full moon. Elvon, the Seer who opened the portal for him was alwa
/ ABBY /"So you're saying the Seer is tracking you. That's why he can fully grasp your presence even in this world?" I asked Zhask.He had told me about his dream the other day and said we needed to relocate the portal because those bad men might stop us from going back to our world. I still found it hard to believe, but I had no choice except to go along with his plans and hopefully find out the truth in the end.Also, his warnings about Adam working with the bad guys didn't seem to be true at all, he might have just been too jealous about it, but I realized it was safe to just keep my distance from now. I had seen how Adam reacted , it was certainly so not him at all. But who knew, right? I might or might not figure everything out in the end, but it's worth a try."Yes. I mean, at least that's how I understood it in my dreams," Zhask replied."So you'r
/ ABBY /I stood frozen in utter surprise when I saw my mom staring at us in the doorway with mouth gaped open wide.We just got caught. Zhask was still leaning on me, about to kiss me, so I immediately pushed him away.I gotta make up an excuse. Quick."Mom, it's not what you think," I explained, not really sure if she would understand.I couldn't read the expression on her face. She was still in a state of shock, unable to say anything.Then, suddenly, she sighed and a smile crossed her face. "Abby, dear," she muttered in a soft tone. "You didn't say you were coming. I would have baked you both some cookies."She wasn't mad. I thought she would be so mad at me and just kicked me out of the house. She was waiting for my reply. It seemed like she didn't want to argue anymore. After all, I was old enough to make my decisions, so I took my cue to apologize."I'm sorry mom," I said, bowing my head. "I was in a hurry. I was gonna leave right away anyway.""Oh, right away? Without introd
