Chapter 48I layed on Arnou’s bed thinking about the busy day I had ahead.Today after the whole Herley and keys debacle, granny and I had gone to the storage room to get the air cleaners.It turned out that Lilah was actually asthmatic. The three sisters were so close to Herley that I wondered if I should keep an eye out for them too.I got up from the bed and sat at Arnou’s work desk. Arnou wasn’t back to the room yet. He was still in a meeting. With the wedding coming up so soon, he was taking advantage of the free time he had left to put some things in order.I opened the table drawer and pulled out a piece of paper. The most important thing I had learnt during my tenure as Luna was that all the power in the palace was not dependent on position but information.And the people with the most information were almost always the servants.Servants got the opportunity to go into places that others weren’t allowed and the opportunity to hear things that might have been concealed.If a m
Chapter 49I closed my eyes, scared that the fire beneath my skin would burn me to a crisp.When I woke up again, I was in a bath of water and steam was rising all around me.“Arnou?” I called out in confusion as my vision cleared.“Yes, Daciana, are you okay? I was so worried.” Arnou said in a rush as he came with a bucket of cold water and poured it into the steaming bath.I blushed hard when I realized what had happened.I had gone into heat and Eva had rushed Arnou.“Oh my gosh. Don't even speak to me. I'm mortified.” I groaned with my face in my hands.“Hey, come on. You don't need to be embarrassed in front of me. We're getting married soon, remember?” Arnou said with a small smile as he sat on the edge of the bathtub and splashed some cold water on my hair.“Yeah well, you're not the one who was begging me to mate with you,” I whispered as I raised my head from my hands and stared at him.He didn't reply to me though, he was staring at me. I followed the line of his eyesight an
I sighed in relief and sipped my drink as quietly as possible.I could feel the pins sticking me in different places and my leg was cramping badly.In irritation, I kicked off the clinching heels that had my toes in a cuckold and wriggled my toes, pleased at the sudden freedom.I was hiding out on the floor of the dressing room at the dressmaker's shop.I had to hide and eat something because Alisa was like a relentless manager who was after my life.Earlier today, I resolved to please Alisa. Yeah well, Herley can have her. That resolution has flown out the window.Alisa had pleasantly told me that my wedding dress was ready and it was time for the final fitting. I should have known it was too good to be true.Alisa was right on one account and one account only. My wedding dress was ready. And before you think it was a hideous piece of fabric, it wasn't.It was extremely beautiful but that's not the reason I'm hiding out, eating on the floor of the dressing room. No, the real reason
Chapter 51I grunted once again as the royal carriage kept moving up and down the bumpy road.Alisa was sitting beside me and chattering about how beautiful my dress was and some other thing that I could barely concentrate on.“Alisa, what's the relationship between Arnou and Herley like?” I interrupted whatever she was talking about.She turned her head to look at me in surprise.“Oh. They're a bit close I guess. That's normal though considering the fact we all grew up together. Why? Is there a problem?” Alisa asked.“Just curious,” I replied to her with a fake smile.After that Alisa seemed to pick up on my mood and stayed silent for the rest of the journey home.When we arrived at the palace, I looked around surprised. The servants had been busy while we were gone and the entire palace and grounds had been decorated.I knew they were going to decorate it in anticipation of the wedding guests that had begun to arrive but I didn’t expect them to get it done so quickly.“Daciana, come
Chapter 52“Alisa, when did you find the time to plan all this?” I asked Alisa in horror.“A secret of the trade,” she replied with a mischievous smile and pulled me into what I deemed my hell.The entire room was covered with makeup and hair equipment, and four servants who were in charge of doing my hair and makeup stood with their heads bowed before Alisa and me.I heaved a sigh of resignation and allowed Alisa to begin her ministrations on me.“I still won't understand why this is necessary. I'm pretty sure I don't need all this makeup and elaborate hairdos for Arnou to tell me my dress looks pretty.” I said to Alisa with an irritated eye roll.“Oh come on Daciana. No take backs, you already agreed to allow me to do your hair and makeup.”“I'm not refusing, I just don't see the need.” I groaned out in mock frustration.Alisa just chuckled and ignored me.I sank into my makeup chair and the servants started working on me.I smiled a bit as I remembered the way Alisa had defended me
I spun around panicked. Everywhere was dark and I still couldn't see anyone.“Arnou!” I screamed out in hopes that he might be nearby. But all I got in return was silence.I was just about to shift to my wolf so I could see in the darkness when I heard a loud sound.I ducked quickly with my hands above my head in fear, then suddenly the clearing was filled with light.The sight before me nearly took my breath away. The entire clearing had been decorated with lights and flowers. It was so beautiful, and I kept staring trying to make sense of the scene before me.“Happy birthday!” I jumped in surprise at the sound of more than thirty people yelling birthday wishes at the top of their lungs.“Happy birthday Daciana!” Alisa yelled out as she came up to me and enveloped me in a hug.I looked at her surprised. Was today my birthday? I had not celebrated my birthday in so long, I had forgotten about it.I mean technically today isn't my real birthday but seeing as I don't know who my real
Today was the day.The day that would inevitably change my life forever and I was getting married to the love of my life.I had spent the last night in my room because Arnou couldn’t see me until it was time was our joining.I wasn’t worried though, now I knew the only reason Arnou snuck out in the mornings with Herley was to plan my party.I had awoken as early as 3 am this morning unable to sleep due to nerves.I kept thinking about what Alisa had revealed to me last night.I wasn’t a judgemental person, I believed that love came in different shapes and sizes.But Alisa is a Princess, I doubt Arnou knows about her secret and I’m not going to be the one to tell him either.I just hope he’s as accepting of her as I was.“Your highness, are you ready for your bath?” Brie said.I had been sitting at my desk since before dawn amusing myself by unwrapping the different gifts I had received the night before.I knew when my room door had opened and my maids had filed inside. I had heard the
I stood in shock, unable to move a limb or even cry out in distress.I slapped a palm across my mouth as I choked back the sobs that threatened to overwhelm me.Alisa was looking in confusion. She still didn’t get why I was shaking so badly.I took a deep breath and tried to calm down a bit so I could tell her about my dress.But before I could speak, Gloria looked at the dress trying to investigate my insane reaction.She shrieked in outrage when she saw my tattered wedding dress, Alisa and the other servants hurriedly turned to view the dress as well.Alisa screamed out at the sight of the huge rips that raked down the dress.Someone had shifted and railed the dress apart with their claws. Alisa was so furious she wrapped her hand around one of the maid’s hair and began to pull on it.I tried to stop her in shock, but she shrugged off my hand.“What is the meaning of this? Why would you destroy the dress? Tell me exactly what happened to the dress immediately.”Alisa yelled at the m
