Henrietta "Ha...ve you not cr…" her words got interrupted by a hard cough which left her lips in a dry torturous manner as her head bopped repeatedly on the pillow. A gasp escaped my lips as terror shot through my spine. I was unable to do anything, I just stood there staring at her in fear until something snapped inside of me and I hurried to her side. I was going to snake my arm under her neck after sitting next to her but she grabbed my hand and brought it to her chest instead. "Are you okay, mother?" I asked, sniffing back the tears and she nodded with a bright smile on her face. "Shh, don't cry anymore," She whispered, bringing my hand to her lips and brushing her lips lightly over it. "But yo…" "You have soaked my feet with so much tears already, I won't need to clean them anymore." She chuckled before leaving my hand on her chest and stretching her right hand towards my face. She rubbed her palm over my face and tucked the loose strands of hair which covered my face, beh

Richard The hall which had been well decorated for the ball was well illuminated with lots of candles and lamps. It was so bright that everyone's dress shone even brighter than it would in daylight. The ball was about to begin and everyone was present. Father, Charles and Marta had their gifts right beside them waiting to be presented to the King. I was dressed in the neat dark blue suit which Charles had personally picked for me, I had the ancient dagger which I planned on gifting to my mate in its pocket, while waiting in anticipation for the arrival of not just the royal family but my mate. After waiting for about half an hour for their expected grand entry, the music which filled the room changed from the orchestral notes to ceremonious rhythm, making known the entry of the King. Everyone rose to their feet, wearing smiles on their faces while bowing slightly as the king walked past them. I watched the way the crown on his head sat elegantly, while his red robe followed his

Henrietta What! Did he just speak? I turned to see the face of the man whom I had just expressed the pain which I had held within me all through the day. For a moment, I felt I was going to explode if I didn't speak to someone about it and felt he was unable to hear me. I had just said everything to a stranger, a commoner, I fear. But he was the man that always appeared in my dreams, almost every now and then. There should be more to this than I can see. "You have no idea what you're talking about," I retorted, a bid to act like I hadn't said enough for a night. He took two steps towards me and inasmuch as I wanted to take the exact same steps back, I didn't. I couldn't find it in me to go away from him. He sighed, "I know exactly what I'm talking about, Princess Henrietta, I have seen and heard everything you said and even that which your sister says as well." He said in a firm voice and my shoulder sagged. Shaking my head in regret, I heaved deeply before raising my eyes to him

Richard "Friends?" Charles yelled in disbelief after I told him everything that happened between me and Henrietta. I was sad, very sad and so was Grey. "I'm not supposed to pounce on her like some brute and mark her, am I?" I shouted in frustration, stretching myself in the chair in my father's room while we waited for him to return from the palace. We both arrived about twenty minutes after he left and the servant who was assigned by King Kenneth to be at his service informed us that he had gone to have breakfast with the King and would be back in an hour. We didn't want to take any chances because we might leave to come back later only to meet his absence. This was the first time we would be meeting him together since we arrived in Odyssey and the reason behind this meeting is very urgent. "I know you're not supposed to but, who asks their mates to be their friend, when they are well aware she's their mate?" He queried, pacing the room. "You talk like you pounced on Marta the s

Henrietta Last night seemed to have passed a lot faster than the previous nights. It was as if the stranger or rather, 'Prince Richard' as he called himself had influenced not only time but my senses as well. Thoughts of him clouded my mind, leaving me awestruck, confused but with a tingling feeling of excitement yet, I was scared; scared of what I could only imagine but never have, especially in this realm where I was out of place. "What am I even thinking? He is a Prince," I reminded myself, turning on the bed so that I was laying flat on my back while staring at the thick green sheet that was placed over my bed to decorate it but in all honesty, I was not really looking at it my vision was blurry and the item of focus was very present but not visible to me anymore. "He's an Alpha, Henrietta!" I half-yelled, "a soon-to-be king who would most definitely need a strong woman for a queen, someone to match his charisma and the amount of power he possesses." I reminded myself, a fail

Richard This can't be happening, not now. Not after how long I've waited to get to her, to finally see her, to feel her, to let my wolf let loose and yearn for her. Father can’t do this to me, especially not now. Not at the expense of my happiness, my future and my peace, her safety and that of Odyssey. If only he knew the kind of woman this princess whom he speaks so highly of actually is and how desperate she can be, to what extent she can go just to get the throne. "This shouldn't be happening," I yelled, pulling my hair with my fingers. “I’m afraid it’s already happening.” Someone said from outside my room but I didn't turn as the voice was very familiar to be confused for someone else’s. “What do you want?” I snapped, without looking at whom the voice belonged to. She was here to either mock or rub it in my face but what was the difference? Absolutely nothing! Getting married to Gwendolyn was the same as spending forever with Nemiueh or worse. “Nothing, I have never wanted

HenriettaIt was evening and the fierce sun in Odyssey was beginning to set, soothing wind graced my skin causing me to adjust the robe around my arm to protect myself from the cold and raised my finger to my eyes to brush off the particles of dust that had been pushed in by the wind.“I can't wait to get to the garden, at least I would be able to get a moment's peace from all of this drama.” I muttered under my breath. Gwendolyn, getting married to the man in my dreams. What does she derive so much joy from taking almost everything that belongs to me? Everything that gets close to me disappears. “Sometimes, we give others the right to do what they do to us.” i heard a calm and soothing voice say beside me and although I wasn't expecting anyone to be following me, anyone but chloe but she wasn't the one rather a very beautiful lady, with bright hazel green eyes that seemed like they could see deep into your soul and fetch the truth out of a hardened liar.She was tall, taller than I

Richard I was waiting restlessly in my room for Martas’ return. She has been out since noon to meet with Henrietta and speak to her on my behalf and even though I was against it from the moment she suggested it, Charles made me give in. “What is taking her so long?” I complained, asking for the hundredth time in a row as I paced my room, continuously looking out of the door to see if she was close but she wasnt and each time I checked, there's always someone coming but then, it is not her and it pisses me off even more. “Relax,” Charles said in a mere whisper, “She'll be here soon.” He assured me but I couldn't wait any longer. I was running out of patience but was mostly tensed as to what might have been the outcome of their conversation. “I should go to them,” I said, turning around to face the door when I found Marta approaching us with a bright smile on her face. “I've missed you,” She said with a pout while rushing past me to meet Charles whose arms were already wide apart
