Silence reigned in the room for sometime before Elijah spoke up, breaking the silence.He walked to her with a smile and said, "You should be in your room my lady."Rielle was still trying to remember where she had heard the name Alex from. It was strange. She knew there was someone in her book who bared the name but who was the person?"Is there something wrong?" Elijah asked, bringing her out of her thought."Who is Alex?" She suddenly asked."Alex?" he asked and drew in air, "Are you talking about the werewolves enemy? Well, he is locked up, far away from this place. He is an old enemy now. Have you forgotten how peaceful our world is without a villain?""He is locked away? Then why don't I remember him?"Elijah placed a hand on her shoulder and gave her a little squeeze. "You don't have to remember him. He caused more chaos than good and now, he is far away from us. We have peace and that is all that matters." He assured again.Right, Alex is the villain of the book. She must have
The maidens assigned to Rielle rushed into the room upon hearing her scream. They lit on the candles but found no one in the room except Rielle who was panting heavily."Ma'am is everything alright?" One of the ladies asked."Someone is in here." she cried.The young ladies looked around but found no one. "But my lady, there is no one here."Rielle looked around but didn't see the man. Was it her imagination or was it all a dream?He was right there and even called her name but then, he suddenly disappeared.She shook her head and looked at them. "It must have been a dream," she spoke more calmly this time. "I apologize for disturbing you.""You don't have to apologize my lady. We will be outside if you need us." They bowed their heads and left the room leaving the candles light on as it would make Rielle more comfortable.Rielle laid back on the bed and covered herself up. She couldn't sleep the whole night until it was morning.Waking up with her headaching, she sat up on the bed an
For once since she woke up, Rielle wasn't thinking about the incident that have being disturbing her.She was being distracted talking to Elijah. He kept asking silly questions which she never expected from him, making it so funny.She would laugh before she reply and would end up trying to explain how it was to him.They kept talking until they got to the garden. Rielle mouth fell opened as she saw the garden.It was filled with beautiful, sweet smelling flowers that could take one breath away."This is so beautiful." She was wooed. Never have she seen a garden as beautiful as it was."Yes. It was my mom's before her death. This was her favorite space."Well she did wrote about the Queen Luna but she died cause of a terminal sickness."This is really beautiful." she repeated and went on further."You can come here anytime you feel like. The door is always opened for you.""Thanks for that.""So..... do you ever have someone you were in love with? Someone who you cherish more than any
Rielle couldn't explain how happy she felt when someone came in. She looked at the one who had come in and breathed a sigh of relief.Elijah walked in and looked around the room but the man was fast gone. He took his gaze back to Rielle who was shivering in fright on her bed."Are you okay?" he questioned and rushed to her side.She opened her mouth to speak but no words were coming forth. Her eyes shut close and she fell on the bed."Rielle!" She could hear his voice but it was distant. Suddenly, it all went quiet like no one was in the room with her. "Elijah....." she finally let out before she lost consciousness.Meanwhile, Alex stared at the window for long with nothing but coldness in his gaze. Just when she was about to ask the question that he has being waiting for, Elijah had to barge into the room.He must have sensed him."I told you it would be impossible to get her to help you. I am the only one that can help you right now Mercury." A man said standing behind him.Alex pa
Rielle opened her mouth to say something, but suddenly decided not to. If he is Alex as he said, then he is the villain Elijah said she locked away.Elijah wouldn't take the news likely and would probably stop her from going or guard her room more than he has done."He left without saying why he was here. I have no idea what he wants." She instead lied about it, covering up for Alex.Elijah found it difficult to believe what she said but there won't be a reason why she lie to him when she doesn't recognize Alex."He is coming here frequency this time. Do you mind if Rachel stays here with you?" He questioned.She hurriedly shook her head. "I don't mind. I don't mind at all." Even though she wanted to hear what Alex has to say, his present and his appearance were frightening. She wouldn't want to see that again.Elijah left the room and in no time, Rachel came in. "I heard someone is being a scaredy-cat. Anyway, I am here to protect you." she simply said and laid on the bed. "Don't sle
Rielle eyes were widened as she stared back at him. He didn't blink away too but was focused on her.Her heart was throbbing fast in her chest as she wondered why he was there. "My lady......" The voice of the elder pushed back her attention to them.She took her gaze to the elders and raised a brow. "I missed what you said. Was thinking about something important. What did you say again?""Well, we all said we would work with you and we are always at your command. You can call us when you need us."The corners of her lips lifted and she bowed her head, "I do appreciate." Lifting her head up, she took her gaze to the door and found him staring at her.She swallowed hard and looked at Elijah to see if he had seen him, but his gaze was elsewhere. At that moment, she knew she was the only one seeing him.But why during the day? He is a ghost snd should only appear to her during the night as he has always done. What if anyone sees him? He will surely be in a lot of trouble.She bit her li
Rielle sat before the mirror as her makeup was done. The maidens who had attended to her in the morning were there again to get her ready for the night.It was almost time for the werewolves to gather outside to make their prayers. The first moon would be out in few minutes.According to the instruction, she would only stand with the royal families while the werewolves make their prayers.Her head was in daze as she still haven't chosen who to go to. To Elijah in the garden or to Alex in the attic?"We are done ma'am." The voice of the maiden brought her back to reality.She looked at her face in the mirror and almost didn't recognize herself. "I look so different. So different in a good way." She stood up and they helped arranged her dress."Is it time yet?""Not yet ma'am, but your presence is needed at the throne room."Rielle went to the throne room just as they said she should. The royal families were all gathered there, all dressed up for the night except King Median, who wasn't
Alex stood by the attic window, watching the werewolves all being hyped up cause of the first moon.He hated it. He hated when the werewolves gather to make a prayer to the moon. The last time he was present during the first moon was when his mother was still alive.She always force him to go with her claiming that he needed to pay homage to the moon goddess. He never did pray to her once and he was glad he didn't. She wasn't powerful after all. He was more powerful than her and have being able to bring her down to his world and make her be under his command.Someone like that shouldn't be prayed to. He frowned when he realized Rielle haven't showed up even though he told her to after the first howl.She was going to disappoint him and he could sense that, but, he wasn't ready to be disappointed. He made up his mind already, if she doesn't show up, he will go to her wherever she was and he wouldn't leave her sight until she agree to go with him.He walked towards the door and pushed
