'What should I do?' I asked the old man, and he stared at me. Not the same gaze he had been using on me, this time it was like his eyes were giving me information my heart wasn't ready to hear or accept. I tilted my head to get what the meeting of the gaze was, and he said straightforwardly, 'Get a man and get married''What!' I had immediately screamed so loud that the insects and fireflies around us got really busy flying away from us. 'Listen, my dear daughter, you are grieving. Your heart is closed from everything going on in the world right now, that's why you can't see that they are hungry wolves eyeing your father's throne and want to be the Alpha of this great pack. You, my dear, would not have a say if everything is finalized, you don't even have a say now because you're a girl and not strong enough to hold a whole pack, so they won't ever consider you when thinking of whom to hand over the pack to but trust me, if you have a man figure in your life, you won't have to strug
It's been two days and that little… little… that good-looking, sex-on-legs boy has refused to respond to me. Whenever I see him and try to go to him, he runs away before I could get there. I don't know how to get him alone, lately, he had always been in the company of another servant. If I dare catch him alone! Like right now, he is standing with a guy as they both water the plants in the garden. He was always alone before, why was he now with someone every time?Since the event that happened back in the stable, my body kept yearning for his touch. I sleep and dream of my moments with him again and again."Did you hear what I said, mother?” Pamela asked me and I let out a small cough, “Huh?” I turned my attention to her fully, backing Godfrey. “I said Father seeks your presence in the throne room,” “Oh really,” I asked as I raised the side of my gown and began to walk away. I hope Pamela didn't notice that I was staring at her rejected mate before she came in. As for Godfrey, he d
I stood in my room, staring out the window, as I waited for the servant I had asked one of the guards to call to my room. When I got into my room, I saw the maids dressing my bed and cleaning the room. This wasn't the best time to do that, so I sent them away. Although acting patient, I was impatient as I waited for the servant to come in already. Butterfly in my stomach, I was feeling all giddy and smiling wide like I was promised my favorite chocolate. I bit my bottom lip as I thought of him in the same room with me. There was a knock on the door and these words followed, “Queen Luna, one of the boy is here,” My heart skipped a beat as I tried not to turn around from the window. I hoped it was Godfrey they had brought and not someone else. There are many servant boys in the castle, but I specifically asked for the one in the stable, hoping that they agree with me that Godfrey is always the one in the stable. “Let him in,” I responded loudly so they could hear my voice from out
I watched Godfrey's eyes grew wider than the normal. He had a look of confusion in his eyes, I asked,“Is it because of my daughter? Because she is more beautiful? Young? Fresh blood?” Godfrey shook his head, his lips pressed together as he finally said,“No, I don't look at Princess Pamela that way,” “Then who do you look at that way?” I asked, and he turned his head to the side. He went all red in his ear and at the tip of his nose. A small smile began to creep into my face. Summoning a little more courage, I moved a step closer to him and asked again but more slowly and quietly,“Who do you look at that way?” He bowed his head, his hands now on his side. “If you don't let me know, I won't release you. You won't leave this room,” I threatened him, and his mouth hung. “Will you let me leave if I tell you?” He asked very cutely. I thought about it for another few seconds before nodding my head to him, “If you respond truthfully, I'll let you leave,” I replied to him, and he rai
“Jealous?”“Joana, how can you think that?” I almost yelled. I would genuinely be happy for her, why would I feel jealous? I knew the decision I made, and I stood for it. I knew it was for the betterment of my kingdom and my position, I didn't do it for love. So why would I be jealous that my best friend was getting married for love? I mean, I was happy she wasn't pushed or forced to marry for another reason like I was. “I'm sorry, Georgi but I just… I don't know… I pity for you,” she looked me in the eyes, tears settling at the side of her eyes, “Hey! Hey! Don't you dare let that teardrop,” I threatened. Joana is just too emotional, she cries at every little thing. At my words, she blinked her eyes forcefully, making sure the tears dropped. My face turned cold as I eyed her, she blinked at me innocently and we both burst into laughter. “You idiat!” I caused as I laughed. She did that on purpose. She could have easily blinked the tears away, but she didn't. “I'm so happy for you
It's Sunday morning and my joy knows no bounds. Not only because Joana was back, but it was also Godfrey's birthday, and I am so sure that my plans with Joana would work just fine. I had woken up so early to go check on Godfrey, who should be at the stable preparing the horses. We would be leaving in two hours time, I can't wait till then to wish him a happy birthday. I wonder if anyone ever wishes him since he has no family member.On getting to the stable, I noticed that indeed someone was there with the horses. My heart skipped a beat as I made my way closer, since he was backing me. He was ready, already dressed, and looking neater than before. I noticed he had also shaved, his hair coming to the back and reaching his neck. I wanted to sing for him, a Birthday song, only for someone to say behind me, “Good morning, my queen,” I turned to see another servant in front of me, while Godfrey had turned to look at me, I presume. “Good morning,” I replied to the guy. I turned back t
My eyes scanned the place, even though Pamela and Thomas had come out, there was still someone I was more interested to see. “You're not looking bad, my lady,” Nathan said to me, and I scoffed. I don't know how this man doesn't see that I am disgusted by him.“You're not lying, Nathan,” Thomas said from behind me, and he dropped a kiss on my cheek. I was about to reply with a thank you when I noticed someone's gaze on me. I looked in front of me to see Godfrey looking at me, he was inside the carriage all this while. I bit my lip as I thought to give Thomas a dirty slap for kissing me right now, even if it was on the cheek. “It makes me wonder if I'm the one going to find a man or if it was Mother,” Pamela said with a chuckle, and Joana joined her. A smile formed on my lips as I responded,“You don't need to be scared of that. I have my man with me,” Although I was referring to Godfrey, Thomas nodded,“That's right. You don't need to feel disturbed. Your mother had passed the sta
We remained at the pack house, where we were entertained by the Alpha. He treated us well, especially when I explained to him who I was since he didn't know Thomas who had boldly gone to him first.He began to tell us stories about my dad, many I didn't know of. It made me see my father in a greater light. He explained how my father had helped him one time when he was greatly distressed because his pack was under attack by rogues. My dad had sent his warriors even without him asking for help. He said he was indebted to my father since then and wanted to repay him, but all my father wanted was friendship. His stories brought goosebumps to my skin. I knew my father was a nice and well-known Alpha with integrity, but this just made me respect him some more.“So Queen Georgina, whatsoever it is that you need, all you have to do is ask, and I promise to do my best for you for your father's sake,” I bowed my head in appreciation when I felt a nudge from the person beside me. Princess Pame
