The King's Destined Love 19 // Borrowed Time
My legs could barely hold my weight, I sank to my knees, litter on the ground digging into my bare skin. I was trembling like a wimp as tears obscured my eyes, giving me a blurry and yet horrifying view of Alex's limp body on the ground. "He... help me." I almost thought I was starting to hear things again, but he made another weak attempt at speaking, "Help... me." That was like a morning alarm reminding me that I was late after countless snoozing. I quickly straightened up like a gear finally put in its place and I smeared my tears away with the back of my hands before I crawled to where he was at the speed of baby that has finally mastered the skill of racing on their knees. Alex could barely move a muscle, his scrubs were covered in blood, he was literally bleeding to his death. He could not even speak, and tears were rolling down the sides of his face. "He...he-help me," he forced out, taking a huge gulp as if to buy himself more time. How was I supposed to help him? He was
The King's Destined Love 20 // Bride-to-be
My mother was in mortal danger, and I was to blame for it. Why did I not see this coming? Apparently, my mother’s farm was the only one unaffected by whatever was happening, if anything, it looked like manna. She says the growth there is something she has never experienced because she cannot get anywhere near farm. The farm has already been broken into several times and rampaged, and each day it looked better than it did the previous day, like no grain of soil had been violated and nothing had been stolen. It has sparked rage throughout the kingdoms and they were now in search of the witch that owned the farm. I should have known something was wrong the day I went to inspect the farm along with the royal farm, I should have reported back to my mother and Queen Shekinah. I scoffed at the mere thought of her name. Queen Shekinah said I should not say anything and that she would take care of it, but she ran off the first chance she got. She was supposed to be here for my mother, she
The King's Destined Love 21 // Monster
The walk down the white carpet flowing along the stairs felt like walking through the valley of death. The open hall had been turned into a wedding venue with little attempt or effort put into it. The entire staff, except for Mandy, was present alongside my mother and Queen Gladys, and standing right there at the bottom of the stairwell was the devil himself dressed in a blue traditional shirt matching my traditional wedding dress. It bugged me how he could have managed to get these at such a short notice, but I was not surprised considering the fact that he had previously gotten me a dress for Samu’s party. My feet felt numb the moment we reached the last stair and the king handed me over, there were no words of encouragement exchanged, nor was there any hint of protest, and we had all the guards armed and standing around as if waiting for Lincoln to snap his fingers. All there was, was deafening silence and an unmatched fear amongst the guests. Lincoln was too quick to hold me,
The King's Destined Love 22 // Queen of Minds
I couldn't stand to look at my mother's body, as I sat against my father's grave while Sam dug a grave close by. My mother did not get a dignified burial, she did not deserve to die the way she did, she did not deserve to die at all. I don't think I had the courage to leave and start over with my life without burying my mother. If anything, I don't know what I would have done if Sam wasn't there with me. I would forever be grateful to him. I don't know how he managed to do it, especially with that awful stench, but he fitted my mother into the bigger suitcase and carried it all the way to the cemetery while I followed close by. Once the hole was deep and wide enough to fit the suitcase, he pulled the bag and as gentle as he tried to be, he was exhausted, the bag fell into the hope with a loud thud. The ground was wet from the short rain, Sam was covered in mud when he stepped into the open. He transferred his weight on the shovel and took deep breaths, waiting a while before fil
The King's Destined Love 23 // The Longest Day
I did everything in my power to shut down any form of communication from the gods, and now I wish I had paid closer attention to everything they were trying to tell me. I paced outside the restaurant, trying to make sense of everything. If my mind served me right, it meant that a war was brewing amongst the gods, and mortal humans would be caught in the crossfires. ‘When you were struck by lightning, you were granted powers by the goddess of thunderstorms. You have lightning coursing through your veins. You have to go back, My Angel. Your home is in chaos, and you are the only one that can save your people. Your kingdom is falling apart. You need to get your people to safety before it's too late.’ ‘There's a prophecy that has lived long before you were born. My father told me about it. He heard it from his father, and his father also heard it from his father. It's been circulating for generations. It is said that the island was ruled by gods for many years, until one day, power and
The King's Destined Love 24 // Violet
I could not believe I was going ahead with this. The world was literally at a standstill, the sun was still in the same position as it was at noon. No one slept during the late hours of the day, it was impossible. We were all worn out, and rumour had it that some people were collapsing, especially with the extreme heat and water and food shortages. One by one, the people of Azania were dropping like rotten fruits from a tree. Yet, here I was preparing to walk down the aisle for the second time, for selfish reasons each time, except,no one was holding a gun to my head this time. Well, at least not a literal one. The gods had a cold sense of humour. “Why are you not dressed yet?” Lizzy waltzed into the office-turned-dressing room, tearing me out of my thoughts. I glanced at her from the mirror and cast her a nervous smile. “I guess you could say I was waiting for my maid of honor to come and inspect my wedding dress just to make sure that Neo didn't put scorpions in there,” I joked
The King's Destined Love 25 // The Prophecy
I woke up, only to find myself in an old room with dark, dirty walls and roof that looked like it was barely holding on. I felt so light as if a burden had just been lifted off me, and I realised that I was left in the garment I wore under my wedding dress. I shielded my eyes as the light flashing through the roof pierced at me in an angry glare. “What happened to me?” I croaked, getting up from the mattress, and I looked around the room, hoping to find a clue. “You are awake.” A tiny voice said, and I felt my blood flare at the little girl standing at the door. “You? Why the hell do you keep appearing and disappearing whenever it suits you? And who gave you that note?” “Who do you think it was?” She challenged. As compared to earlier when she was wearing a short white dress and white pumps, she had switched back to her dark attire. Could it be Lincoln, or was it Violet? “That witch!” I hissed. I curse the day I came to know of her existence, it felt like she had become a dark
The King's Destined Love 26 // Voice of The Gods
I never thought my life could get any worse than it already, the last thing I needed after everything that I have been through was a baby. It was clear that I was a puppet in the ancestors’ games, they gave me everything I have ever dreamt of, only to snatch it all in a snap of the fingers. My head felt like it was going to explode as I tried to piece everything together thread by thread, and I had no idea where I was going to as my feet raced one after the other, everything blurring around me. Lincoln’s words replayed in my mind, and I remembered how his return was not at his own will, he was coerced back home by their ancestors, and it made me sick to my stomach knowing that we were both their victims. I felt stupid. Why didn’t I notice that I was pregnant this entire time? I guess my period was the last thing on my mind with all that’s been happening, it never occurred to me that the last time I had my period was around the same time Lincoln returned from overseas. It didn’t m
