Estelle POV“She is right in front of you,” my aunt said, and we all turned to her with our mouths wide open. The room was silent, and the tension was high. None of us could find our tongues. Is this why she is so connected to the moon goddess? Know everything happening? There was no way I could have guessed.“What?” Angelica stutters after finding her tongue. Aunt smiled calmly.“This is not how I want everyone to find out, but you all would have known one day,” she said, breathing out. She looked at Angelica and gave her a really long look.“Well, she is in front of you, say what you want to say. Who knows? I might just get you married to him,” she said, and I looked at Angelica as she took a very deep breath, putting on a shaky smile.“Well, you created that rule, so it’s only fair I get married to him,” she said. Aunt hummed.“Why should I get you married to him?” she asked.“Because he is my betrothed,” she said, like she was stating the obvious.“I see. Well, where were you all
Estelle POV“I’m pregnant,” I said, his hand on my stomach. His eyes wide opened as he looked at me, trying to process what I just said. Minutes passed, and Aurelian was silent, no words coming from his mouth.“Aurelian,” I called, shaking him a bit. He moved back from me, running his hand through his head as he walked all around the room.“Aurelian,” I called again, as I couldn’t make anything of his reaction. Is he happy? Sad? Angry? What is going through his head? “You’re pregnant?” he asked, staring at me. I nod my head nervously, and he breathes out heavily, swallowing his spit. I come down from the bed and walk to him.“What is wrong with Aurelian?” I asked, my hands on his cheeks, but he held my wrist, breathing out.“This is not the time to be pregnant, Estelle. I have lost pups twice. We are in the middle of a war. How am I going to protect you and our pup from danger?” He asked, and I could finally see and feel his emotions. He was weak and scared; I could feel his fear. In
Estelle POV“I believe the Lycan king has accepted to go on the journey with us,” she asked.“Yes, I have,” he replied. She nods her head.“Okay, that’s good,” she said, getting comfortable.“You are right. There are spies in the palace working for your brother, although I can’t identify them because sometimes what we see is limited. They inform your brother of every move you both make, and right now, your brother wants her dead, pregnancy or no pregnancy,” she said, and I was not a bit surprised. He tried to do it once and killed me and my pup so he could do it again.“The child is going to be a hindrance, and if she loses this child, bad things will happen, so we can’t allow it,” she said.“Why are you helping us?” Aurelian asked. She smiled.“We can let go of our differences. Ophelia is running loose, and she has broken our law by touching dark magic, so we must get rid of her before she causes much harm. And finally, you wolves and Lycans play a big role in the supernatural world;
Estelle POVMe, Aurelian, Aunt Clara, and Rodney walked down the hallway to see the King and Queen of Which kingdom off, but in all reality, Aurelian and I walked behind them with our rode on while the clones walked with Aunt Clara and Rodney.“They really can’t see, hear, or feel us,” I said, holding his hand. “Yes, the power of a witch,” Aurelian replied, smiling down at me. I smiled, putting a bit of my weight on him. We got to the front of the palace, where the royal carriages were waiting for us.“Why are there two carriages?” I asked, confused. We are supposed to ride with the king and queen, but now there are two carriages.“It’s okay; the king and queen arranged it with their trusted people; nobody can see them except us and them,” he said. I nodded my head, watching the clones say their goodbyes to the king and queen. Aurelian took my hand, leading me to the carriage, and we took our seats. I looked out the window, watching them. When they were done, the king and queen enter
Estelle POV“This is going to be your quarters,” the queen said, standing in front of a closed door. I smiled politely.“Thank you, Queen Aurora,” Aurelian said, bowing his head a bit in respect, and she did the same.“The journey was a long one; it’s best we all take a good rest and start with the spell. I asked the maids to prepare what we are going to need already so the king and queen of the werewolf kingdom can quickly be on their way as there is a pending war approaching,” she said politely. I nod my head because I would really appreciate that. I don’t even want to stay long here. After what Aurelian said, my will to stay here has reduced, and I no longer feel safe. The feeling is back. I can’t tell what it is, but I feel worried. I took a deep breath, rubbing my stomach softly.“Thank you once again for your help, Queen Aurora. We will really appreciate it,” Aurelian said, while I just stood beside him, feeling weak in the knees. Queen Aurora smiled.“I will take my leave now i
Estelle POVThe breeze blew my hair roughly as I stood in a field. It looked like the one in the afterlife, but the difference was that this field felt more real; it didn’t feel dead; it felt like there were human beings here. “Where am I?” I asked myself, trying to tame my wild hair. I can’t even remember when last I let my hair down and free; my hair these days has been decorated with pins and rubber. But now my hair is down and wild, I wore a white silky gown. The material was thin, allowing the cold air to enter my skin. I shuddered, rubbing my hands together. Where am I? Where is this place? What am I doing here? I asked myself as I turned around in the empty field. There were people here; I could feel them, but I couldn’t see them. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Everything was in a tranquil as I tuned down the sound of the heavy breeze. I listened to the little sounds and the heartbeats of people around me. Their footsteps as they moved. “There are people here,” I m
Five years agoRed POV“That’s enough training for today,” my mother said, walking towards us. We were in the woods, training as usual.“I finally got it, mom; I crossed over that big log,” I said, jumping happily. She smiled, her brown eyes staring at me.“Well, my daughter is so strong, just like her mama,” she said, rubbing my cheeks. Tomorrow is my 13th birthday. I will be shifting to my wolf, and dad said I could finally start training. I had to beg him for weeks before he allowed me to do anything, and now I am not even learning combat yet; I am just doing some press-ups, running around the field, lifting tires, and jumping logs that keep moving. It was the hardest.“Let’s go inside,” she said, taking my hand. We walked back to the pack house, and I kept skipping happily in the middle of my parents. My parents are just ordinary pack members; we don’t stay at the pack house; we live almost in the woods. There are other houses here too, but they are separate from each other. We go
Five Years LaterRed POV“If you keep throwing punches like that, we are going to sleep here,” I snapped at the ladies. Well, we are on the training ground, and as the top female warrior of this pack, I am in charge of training the ladies as part of my duties, but these ladies are so slow as usual. I sighed, burning her hand with my fire. She screamed, holding her hand.“If you don’t listen, there are more of where that comes from. Now I want to see the power, the strength; fight your opponent like she is your enemy; I don’t want any slackers; if you slack, run around the field 10 times, and you have no choice but to do it,” I snapped, and they flinched. Well, I have changed a lot since what Bryan did to me. That day, rogues attacked the pack, and out of anger, I burned them all down. Alpha had to tie me down in the dungeon for three days to keep me from killing any pack members. After I calmed down, the pack became wary of me, and everyone avoided me like a plague.Bryan tried to tal
