“Alright, your Highness, what you need to do is what you’ve been told before, but this time around you just have to make it a long-lasting one.”
I nod my head at her, as I’m determined to make it work this time.
Striding to the center of the room, I sat down on the floor and close my eyes and let go of everything that has been bothering me. Let go of my fears and insecurities, and focus on finding a balance of harmony within myself.
It took me some time to find, but when I finally did, I felt refreshed and in sync with everything around me. I could feel the energy surging through me and around me. I felt light weighted as I do the hand gesture and summoned my shield out from within me to my hands.
Opening my eyes, I saw the hues of the shield surrounding me and spread out my hands to spread out the shield to cover the entire room.
I smile in excitement as I see how surprised my mate was looking at the shield.
Hi guys, How are you all doing? here is another chapter. Don't forget to comment and vote for TSW. XOXO
After some minutes of letting them have their fill of fun, I told them to calm down before opening my eyes. They scan through the room before landing first on my mate, who was gazing at me with mixed expressions I could not decipher completely. One thing I could from it was that he was worried about me getting hurt. I smiled at him in assurance before facing Hera. She smiled at me and said, “Very good, Your Highness. Now that you’ve channeled the air element, get acquainted with them and become one with them. By doing this, you will have access to command them as easily as moving just a finger. Make use of them as you please without losing much energy.” Understanding her words, I nod at her and close my eyes once more, channeling the air energy within me so we can become one. I did as she said; called to the air element, command them to become one with me. They obeyed me and felt the flow of energy within me. I sensed them flowing into my being, becomin
Too tired to stand on my own, I leaned back against him and closed my eyes, enjoying the feel of his hands on my body as they roam everywhere, removing all the clothing I had on down to my undergarments. Completely naked before him, he stepped slightly aside with me still somehow leaning on him and turned on the faucet, letting out steamy water into the bathtub, then he filled it up with all the essentials for bathing before turning me around to face him. He lifted me off my feet and placed me in the tub, directing me to a sitting position in it. I leaned my head back against the edge of the tub and closed my eyes, getting ready to just soak my body in it before proceeding to leave the washroom after some minutes, only to feel his hands with the bath sponge on my shoulders. Because I wasn’t expecting to feel his hands on me again, I almost slipped in the tub, nearly injuring myself in the act. He hurriedly reached out hi
Pecking my lips once more, he said, “let’s go.” *** Walking into the dungeon, the first thing that hit me was the pungent smell coming from within the walls. I didn’t or would I say wasn’t expecting it, but because I was determined to see Micaela and thought to myself that it’s also living beings that are placed here and watches over the prisoners, I Just had to force myself to adjust to it. I followed my mate down the narrow hallway leading to different cell doors on both sides of the corridor. As we walk, I tried not to make eye contact with the hostages occupying each cell but despite my avoiding them, I couldn’t help sharing eye gaze with some of them. The demeanor I saw in them wasn’t one I wished to perceive. In some, I saw total despair that had me thinking they were wishing for death to find them the very moment they noticed the presence of my mate. It was as if they saw the devil himself when they look at him. S
Moved by her tears, I leaned forward and hug her, letting her cry her fill out while soothing her. I patted her on the back and stood by her to calm down before I released her. Gasping for air, she responded with much difficulty, “Y… Y… Your Highness.” I reached for her palms and stroked them in a reassuring rhythm. “I’m here Micaela. Speak to me when you are ready. Just have it in mind that I’m here to help you out of here. I promise to find the one behind all this.” I reassured her as calmly as I could. She lowered her head in dejection, not speaking a word, and I watched her patiently as I wait for her to make the first move to communicate with me after stating that. A little while later, she finally raised her head and glanced me in the eye with tears flowing down hers.
“Are you sure Micaela?” I asked her to confirm if she was sure that was where she kept the note. “Yes, Your Highness. I’m hundred percent sure that was where I kept it.” “Alright, Micaela. I will go to your quarters and get the note. Let’s just hope it will lead us somewhere.” “T… thank you, your highness. Thank you for not doubting me, Your Highness. I don’t know what would have become of me if you hadn’t. I… I’m forever indebted to you, your highness.” I patted her hands reassuringly and said, “You don’t have to. I promise you we are going to get to the end of this. We will find the culprit, but for us to do so without attracting their attention and giving them hints about us knowing you they framed you, we will still keep you here.” She looked slightly scared when she heard what I said and wanted to say something before I cut her off and reassured her by saying, “I know what you are about to say, but this is the
Not too bright, and not too dim. It was adequately bright enough to allow those passing through it to see where they were going. Curious about how the tunnel came to be if it’s been here for ages or was just recently created, who and who knows it’s here or is he the only one that knows about its existence, I asked him through the mind link. In which he responded as ‘Brice recently discovered it when he tracked down the scent of Lady Anya here. This is where they used to sneak into the Palace, alerting none of the guards on duty.’ That’s interesting. I didn’t know they were this deep into the Palace. I wonder for how long this their so-called plan has been for them to have time to construct this tunnel within the palace grounds or… has the tunnel been here before now and they discovered it, which gave them an advantage into the palace? ‘Do you have any idea when the tunnel was built?’ I asked him through the mind link.
He shook his head in disagreement with what I stated. “I do not believe someone was here before us. If so, I would have picked up a whiff of their remaining scent the moment we walked into the room, but it’s Micaela’s scent that lingers in the room.” Now that he called my attention to the scent hovering in the room, I didn’t bother to take in a deep breath before Micaela’s scent filled up my nostril. His words had me realizing what was going on… or… would I say… what had just happened, even though I refused to accept it. I refused to think otherwise. Because of my dire wish to get the note, I gave little thought to the scent that lingers in the room, which allowed me not to detect the scent and instead concluded that someone else had access to the room. Plus, what gave me the notion that someone else entered the room before we did was because we met the door unlocked when we got here. But I wasn’t able to confirm it, seeing we h
“Ok.” I stood there and watched him as he walked away from me and hurried towards the eastern part of the pack grounds till I could no longer see his figure. Praying for the safety of the guards and pack members that stay in that part of the pack, I turned and resumed my walk towards the Palace. I hadn’t taken up to ten steps when I suddenly heard movement around us. Becoming alert, “did you hear that?” I asked my guards, who were now by my side. They gave me a skeptical look, not knowing what I was talking about. I stopped walking and looked around us, heightening my hearing to see if I would pick up another movement. Not a minute later, I heard a branch being stepped on towards our right side and when I trailed
