"oh... what a pity. I don't have the liberty to entertain you today as I will be spending the whole of today with my sister-in-law" Alexa responded exaggeratedly.
I snorted at that. Wait...what? What did I just hear Alexa say.
I hope and pray that she does not mean that in the literal aspect of it and she was just saying it to ward her off. I definitely know I can't survive spending the whole day for shopping.
Besides don't I have lunch with Zeid? Or has she forgotten that? I look at her and conclude she was just saying it to turn Lady Anya down and not the literal words it represents. Right? Yes definitely.
Hearing me snort at her, Lady Anya gave me a quick over trying so hard to hide her disgust at me from appearing on her facial expression before she focused back on Alexa.
" Oh...is that so? Can I have the privilege of joining you both then?"
"No, you can't. Lady Anya I don't mean to sound rude, but your join
"Ashley, ignore her attitude towards you. With time she will have no choice but to come to terms that you are Zeid's mate and not her. Smiling, I nod in response. We were driven to one of the biggest malls I've ever seen. Lots of designer brands were located there if not all. Imagine seeing almost all the designer brands worldwide in one place. Now imagine how filled it will be with people. Good. Apart from that, there were lots of restaurants there. Recreational centers were also located in the mall. The mall was more or less a tourist attraction center. Foreigners from different parts of the world were seen there. Alexa took me shopping in almost all the shops we came across enjoying every bit of it while I grudgingly followed her about. This went on for hours at some point we stop for brunch and when we were done, we continued shopping. "Alexa can we call it a day I'm so tired that I can't go on shopping" I was so tired from all the w
"Do you miss me?" *Ough ough* I cough out as I wasn't expecting him to say this. "I...I" I was lost in words to say to him. "Do you miss me because I miss you from the minute I left your side this morning" He continues "Z...zeid" "Well continue with your shopping we'll talk more when we see soon just have it in mind that you are always on my mind" "Hmmm" I couldn't hide the flush that appeared on my face as he cut the call. I pass the phone back to Alexa who was giving me a knowing look. Winking at me, "Can we go get the phone before we return to the palace otherwise your lovestruck Mate is going to have my head if we don't get back in an hour to two hours, and sweetheart I still live and cherish my beautiful head" Giving her a look," who's fault is it that we stayed this long" "Yah yah I know it's my fault you don't need to rub it in. Can we get going now, madame" She drags me along th
We were on our way to the palace when suddenly the bodyguard in front of us, whose name I later got to know is Josh was contacted by Ryan, one of the bodyguards in the other vehicle that we were being followed. The other guy's name is Jay. I could hear this due to my heightened hearing despite how discrete he was trying to be so as not to alert us and also saw him signal the driver to drive faster as we were outnumbered and won't be able to fight them back for long. Immediately, I veered around to see what was going on and saw five black cars coming at us at full speed. "Have you called for backup?" He asked as he observed that the cars were catching up with us. He told the driver to increase the speed of the car. "D**m I don't think we can outrun them for long but let's try to lose them till we can get reinforcements from the Palace." Remember our main priority is the safety of the Princesses." He said over the phone to Ryan.
At the front, a guy stepped out from the car in the middle. He was slightly built than the rest of the assailants and Josh and the other two including. The aura he emitted makes me believe that he was the one that calls the shots. I was proven right because the moment he stepped forward, his gaze landed on Josh and the rest before looking pointed at the car as though he could see Alexa and I sitting at the back seat. He moved his gaze away from us, "I have no issue with you guys so I'll give you two options. One, hand over the Princesses to us and we will let you live. and two, if you refuse to, we do it the hard way. We kill you lots and still take the Princesses with us". He walks forward with his hands behind his back before coming to a stop about ten steps away from our car. "Your choice. What will you choose?. I would suggest you choose the first one which will require no bloodshed". Taking a few steps forward an
Giving me a gentle smile, "Yes your highness you can save everyone here not with the abilities you just mentioned, but with the ones you possess which have not been discovered by you." Trying to come to terms with what she said, "how sure are you that I will be able to do so in such a short period. The abilities I have now took me days if not weeks to curb." "Yes you can, Your Highness." "Alright, how do I go about it?" "All you need to do is to reach into your inner self and find your essence. Once you locate it, try to sync with it and become one with it. After that, channel it to your surroundings and you will feel yourself becoming one with it. "When you become one with your surroundings, you will feel all the elements of life coursing through your veins" She concluded. Curious, I asked, "what are the elements of life that I'm supposed to feel?" "There are seven elements of life. These are Nature, Water, Fire, Earth, Light,
"Alright, how do I find my essence?" I ask her ready to follow her instructions. "Your Highness, you can do this by going the way you used in reaching out to me." The way I connect with her? That should be easy since all I do is to get myself relaxed and clear my mind of all thoughts. I get myself seated appropriately and try to clear my mind of everything going on around me, proving difficult for me no matter how hard I try. I just couldn't help feeling agitated. Feeling frustrated, I take in deep breathes as I try once more. "Your Highness, you need to try harder. I can only stop time for some time so as not to cheat time force. If I exceed the time frame, there will be grave consequences for it which I have no power over." Nodding my head, I close my eyes and try to concentrate once more, and think of what is at stake if I fail to do as told. Within minutes, I felt myself withdrawing from everyt
This war went on for years, never-ending, that it got to the point that the Moon Goddess and some Goddesses and Gods had to intervene before the world becomes destroyed completely. They faced every being under their creations and forced them to stand down, placing them under a curse to restrict them from using their powers and strength as they wish. The Vampires were placed under the curse of the sun. The sun shall smite them if they attempt to walk during the day but they are given full power over the moon to do as they wish. But were subjected to being killed by the bite of a werewolf and with silver, and a stake to the heart, and once that is done, they burn to ashes. These were the weakness given to the vampires by the gods. The Sirens were placed under the curse of not having the ability to change their appearances as they want when they approach their victims. They were cursed to retain their appearance of a pale humanoid w
"Do you know what iris represents?" She asked me plucking one of the iris and placing it behind my ear. Nodding, "They mean wisdom, hope, trust, and valor." "Good child. You see these flowers represent you. What you stand for." She gestures to the flowers, "look around my child," I turn to look at the flowers around us. "What do you see?" I look at her and gave her an obvious look that of course, I see iris flowers all around us. Shaking her head, "hehe hehe... yes what you see are ordinary flowers, but what I see are what they represent as you've mentioned. So dear child, what I see when I see you are wisdom, hope, trust, and valor. I see my beautiful child that will lead and rule her kind in the principle of knowledge and good judgment. One that is courageous enough to put hope and trust in the midst of every being uniting them as one to live in harmony. These are what I see in you child. For this pu
