The Queen kept rambling on and on about duties as we walked around the palace. I couldn't help but wonder if her mouth wasn't aching her for having to talk this much. It was tiring and exhausting just to listen to her.The girls weren't doing better themselves. They were barely listening to a word she was saying but they just kept nodding to make her believe they were listening."Any plans on how to get rid of her?" Maya asked telepathically and I glanced at them but their eyes were both fixed on the Queen.I remained quiet not replying her. I'd rather endure the Queen's torture than talk to any of them. If they couldn't admit their wrongs then I have no reason to talk to them."Are you going to keep giving us silent treatment?" Naya fumed acting like the victimized one where as I was the victim of their disloyalty and secrets."You don't get to get angry when you're the one at fault," I replied, glaring at her."We did nothing but keep a secret that wasn't ours to tell?" Maya retorte
"If you're so adamant on following me around, make sure you keep up and try not to get lost," I squealed, running off and Lucas scoffed, running after me."Talking about getting lost, I should be the one warning you about not getting lost. I know every nook and cranny of this village so getting lost is close to impossible. I can't say the same for you though.""Well, you won't totally be useless then. If by any chance I get lost then you'll just have to search every nook and cranny of the village and find me since you claim to know the village so well," I grinned, mischievously and when he least expected it, I dived into a crowd, getting lost."Imelda!" He yelled as I rid myself of him."I guess someone has to warn him about being on the look out for your mischief. One can never know when to expect it," Arla laughed, amused.I was quite certain about the fact that he was going to find me, I couldn't dispute that fact. According to Becca, he was a tracker and not just that alone, he is
"How the fuck did you know that I was interested in Becca?" Lucas gawked at me, his mouth wide opened in shock and I shrugged, smiling."First of all Becca was assigned to me as my personal maid, not only is she my personal maid, she is also family. So, I tend to notice things that happens around her. Things not even her notices," I smirked proudly and he gulped."I do see the way you ogle her with your eyes when you think that no one is watching. I wasn't actually watching," I stroked my chin, pausing."I just happen to know everything that happens around me even when others don't. So I knew perfectly well, from the way your eyes follows her that you had a thing for her.""Well…." He scratched his neck, looking away embarrassingly as the crowd cheered on. A new opponent had mounted the ring, but he needed a contender. I needed to convince Lucas to let me fight. If I don't fight now I don't know if I'd ever have the opportunity to fight."I don't know what that has to do with this, but
It's the Prince! I gaped at him in awe. I successfully landed one punch on his face and his mask broke into two. Not seeing his attack, I got punched on the face as well.I stumbled back, blood dripping from my nose. I should be crying like every normal female wolf from being hit in the face but I wasn't normal. Rather than cry from being hit on the face, I was actually thrilled.I was having a real fight with the Prince, why wouldn't I be thrilled? It's not everyday one gets hit on the face.I have always dreamed of having a fight with someone this strong so I'd know my capabilities.Fighting with rogue wolves wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be. They were not as strong as I expected them to be and it was always too easy for me to take them down. Sometimes it felt like Caleb took on the stronger ones and left the weak ones for me to handle. It was pretty frustrating fighting with wolves that could easily be taken down in less than 5 seconds.I wanted more and now that I got t
"Oh my fucking goddess!" Lucas exclaimed."Did you just take the Prince down?" Lucas gaped at me in disbelief still in shock. People clustered around me, people trying to pull my face mask off and see my face."Yes, but right now that isn't important. We need to get out of here before I'm lynched," I punched someone who tried to pull my mask off in the face. Not only were people trying to pull my mask off, some wolves who were upset that I defeated the Prince tried attacking me as well."Yes, yes, we really need to leave," Lucas replied, finally understanding the urgency of the situation. I'm certain if the crowd gets to know that I'm a female, they would burn me alive.Taking a run for it, we ran away from the crowd. Some angry fans chased after us and if it weren't for Lucas uncanny knowledge of the area I'm quite sure I'll be caught in no time."Hide here," Lucas pushed me down to a corner with a big drum blocking me."I'll be back," he promised and then ran off as the angry birds
The throbbing ache in my head was the first sensation that pulled me back to consciousness. As my eyes slowly fluttered open, I found myself lying on the cold, hard ground, the remnants of the knock-out punch still resonating through my skull. My neck felt like it would snap into two at any moment. The noises of the people surrounding the arena echoed in my ears, a mixture of cheers and jeers that seemed distant and muffled.Blinking away the haze, I tried to make sense of my surroundings. The last thing I could vividly remember was laying sprawled on the ground in my wolf form before being finally knocked out cold. Never would I have thought that there was someone that could take me out that easily. Not only was it humiliating, it was nerve wracking and something I definitely didn't expect. I couldn't help but wonder who the hell my opponent was. For some strange reasons, he seemed like someone I know; someone that has been around me before. But I just couldn't pinpoint who it was.
Sneaking back into the royal house suddenly looked more harder than sneaking out. Everyone seemed busy and pretty occupied which ought to be a good thing since it means no one noticed I wasn't in. But well, whatever has an advantage definitely has a disadvantage. Although, no one noticed I was not in. They would if I am caught sneaking back."How the hell am I going to sneak back in with this much population moving around?" I sighed, out of options."Well you should have thought about that before sneaking out in the first place," Lucas folded his hands, smirking."Not helpful," I rolled my eyes."What I need now is not you judging me but you helping out here. If I'm caught and the Queen finds out that I snuck out, you'll be in a bigger mess than me," I smirked and his lopsided smile dropped."Not cool," he frowned."I'm glad I now have your undivided attention. Now, do you have any plan on how to sneak back in without getting caught and lynched?""Lynched?" Lucas chuckled."You're goi
"Wake up you spoiled brat!" The Queen chided, emptying a bucket of water on me."What the fuck!" I shrieked jumping off the bed, my eyes widened in horror."Why are you still be in bed by this time?" The Queen glared down at me. If looks could kill I'll obviously be dead by now."Why the hell couldn't I have a peaceful morning without having to deal with the Queen?""Language miss!" She scolded frowning. I guess I said that aloud."Yeah, whatever," I rolled my eyes pissed. For some annoying reasons, she looked too shiny in that dress of hers. She had a different hairdo which looked newly made and as much as I hated to admit it, it looked nice on her. Her fairytale gown was different as well. I hated the fact that it was red and color blinding but if I was being honest, the embroidery on the dress was quite a piece."Today is the day of the ball and we have to ensure that you're all set for the ball," she pulled the curtains apart allowing the reflection of the sun find it's way in."C
