We soon leave the bedroom and head towards the library, this time around I could actually see where we were going as my guards weren’t all up and close. Hannah still had her arm linked with me whilst explaining, how she wanted to take me on another shopping trip as she saw this specific pair of shoes she just has to get! I only smile and nod as she spoke, perhaps I shouldn’t have reminded her about shopping. We soon arrive at the grand staircase which I think must lead to everything, the amount of times I’ve had to walk up and down this thing is phenomenal! At least I’m getting a daily workout. Right at the bottom of the stairs stood many people, they were standing in groups all wearing black. At first I didn’t really think much of it, but then I saw the photo in the frame by the door, a smiling face of the guy from the library looking back at me. I sigh a little but do look down to see his name, where in black letters stood the name Elliot Baldwin. At least I don’t have to keep cal
I was still very much confused on what was happening as Hannah drags me down the hall, all she told me was Axel has asked to see me but why are we rushing? I was led through a part of the castle which I had never seen before, it appeared to be back passages which caused us to miss any of the built up parts of the castle. After a few moments, we arrive outside but into the part of the garden I also hadn’t seen before. This causing me to worry over what’s happening, why am I being taken through back ways and to places I’ve never seen before? “I’m sorry I pulled you away like I did, Axel and Joey only have a few minutes before another meeting and Axel, really wanted to talk to you about something.” Hannah says as we walk around the castle, the beautiful hills that surrounded the castle fill my vision. I only send her a nod as I couldn’t reply with words, she had pulled me away from the library so fast that I had dropped my pen. Before too long, we arrive at a little building right in
After my mini crying session in the cabin, I head back to the room without even seeing Hannah once. Did she really wonder off while I was in there? Perhaps she’s still annoyed with me over talking with Louise, but I couldn’t just leave the poor woman to stand there and cry. But in meeting Louise, I got more pieces of the puzzle surrounding Elliot, which shockingly, involves me in some capacity. After my guards took me back to my room, I walk over to sit on the bed with the note from Louise in my hand. I repeatedly, read over the same three item list in case I was close to working out what it meant. How on earth am I meant to break whatever curse they’re talking about?! I don’t even know what the curse could be and how someone like me could break it. How do you even break a curse?! But how did this man who approached Elliot know I would be the one to stop whatever is happening from happening? This all began years ago, which would mean when this man found out that I would be the one,
I slowly begin to wake up from the first restful sleep I have had in many years, I open up my eyes where I soon discover my head was still placed on Axel’s chest. “Good morning Evermore.” His voice says which did nearly make me jump, I lift my head up to look at his face where he was smiling down at me. “I hope you had a good sleep.” He smiles as I slowly begin to sit up straight doing a morning stretch, those stretches are always the best kind. “Do you recall what you did last night?” He asks which did make me worry slightly, did I do something really embarrassing in my sleep or something?! “You spoke, I was able to hear your voice for the first time.” He smiles which did confuse me before I remember what happened, I did speak last night after my dream about Elliot! “It was incredible, I am so glad you have finally felt comfortable to speak around me, will you be doing it more often?” He asks hope in his eyes as he spoke, I mean the obstacles that kept me from speaking for so long
Axel and I spent most of the day in that room, I assumed it would get boring after the initial hours. But it was actually nice, we spoke for hours about life and what will happen next for us as mates. He explained for normal mates, the next part of the process will be when they mate with each other and that’s it. But due to Axel being the King and as I’m his mate, the future Queen, things are very different. The next step for us is the ceremony, this is an event that showcases me as Queen to all our people, yes it’s extremely weird to say our people. Anyway, it’s a huge event planned by the officials and other people, I will wear the most elegant dress and the traditional crown. I questioned if this was another word for a coronation, but Axel told me it wasn’t. This event will be huge but it’s not crowning me as Queen officially, it’s kind of dipping my toes in the water slightly. The real coronation will be a few weeks later, this time I will be led down this isle to Axel who will
Axel continues to lead me through the corridors of the palace, many people smiling and bowing towards us as we went. I would have questioned this if my mind wasn’t too preoccupied with another issue, not to trip and fall in these heels! As like I said before, I have never owned or even walked for that matter in heels before. When I was out shopping with Hannah, she picked out the dress that I’m wearing and told me it would look amazing with these heels. Now I never disagreed with her because she was right and I dumbly assumed, I would have time to practice walking in them before pulling them out to wear. When Axel suggested I wear this dress, I couldn’t tell him no! I know what you’re all thinking, why didn’t I just a wear a pair of flats? But these heels really tie the whole outfit together, wearing flats seemed like the wrong choice so I picked the heels and left. We won’t discus how I nearly face planted seconds into walking in them, but right now, I was managing to walk just fin
Once that sentence left my lips, Axel stares at my face for a second like he was trying to work me out. I gulp a little wondering if I was now getting visions of the past, why can’t whatever power I have remain in my dreams which I can somewhat control?! “You met my father?” He asks after a second, I knew how strange that sounded once I told him, but I really think that’s what happened. “While we were at dinner, I don’t know what happened but in the mist of you and Spencer having an argument, I slipped off into my own head and I was standing in some kind of office with Spencer and who I’m assuming is your father.” I explain still attempting to get my head around what I saw, how is any of this even possible?! “He and Spencer were discussing Spencer looking out for who I’m guessing is you, your father said Spencer needed to guide you in the way a father would for his son because your father couldn’t.” I say shaking my head as I went, he looks at me so shocked but does hold both of my
I lay awake in bed for an hour, the information I had just learnt from Elliot not allowing me to sleep. How do I approach this with Axel? He must suspect that something happened to his father, he wouldn’t have just fell over and died a mile away from this place. But with the way in which he reacted when I even brought his father into the conversation, tells me he hasn’t quite dealt with the loss of him. Until I know more about the situation and hopefully, find Axel but also Hannah, the answers they have been asking for years, I should keep this to myself. But not only thoughts surrounding Axel’s father were swirling around my head, but now thoughts of my own real father were. Elliot didn’t get the chance to elaborate on what he told me, only spoke about my father briefly before I woke up. That has given me much room to speculate but also, come up with many theories. Could that have been why my father left my mother? Perhaps, my father was only seeing my mother for some fun and when
