Chapter 33PIPERKaela, Elara, and I continued our quest deep into the market. I tried to force my mind off everything Julia told us, but it was hard.Kaela was leading us to our next stop, and a part of me was scared of listening to another experience about missing persons. We stopped by a pottery shop, and an old man seemed to be the one running the place. He smiled as soon as his gaze landed on us. “Ella, you are here? What a surprise.” Kaela smiled back, approaching the old man. “ I had an impromptu errand to run, Grandpa Terry. You look vibrant as always.” “Oh dear, we both know that compliment isn't meant for me, but you and these pretty ladies you have refused to introduce me to.” I smiled, “Forgive me, Grandpa Terry. This is Piper, and that's Hera. My apprentices.” Kaela said and I passed him a small wave.“Welcome ladies. Lovely to meet you both.” He addressed us and faced Keala, “So what do you need today?” Keala shrugged, “I need three mini jars. I have a new concocti

Chapter 32PIPER “Princess. You look amazing.” Kaela said as soon as she walked in on Elara adoring me with the finest silk.“Where are you heading?”“Town,” I replied with a proud smile. Her brows knitted and she let out an amused sigh, “Town?”“Please tell her this is a bad idea,” Elara said behind me. I rolled my eyes, maintaining my smile and decision.“Princess, that's not…something I would advise you to do at the moment.”“I know.” I paused, with full knowledge of how crazy this sounded, “But I am doing it regardless.” I stood up and admired my full attire in the mirror. “We aren't forbidding you from going to town, but definitely not dressed like that. The people will instantly recognize you and they may go wild from their pain.”I turned to stare at Kaela, “but isn't that the essence of going there. So that they could recognize me and listen to what I have to say.” Kaela shook her head, “The pack is torn, Princess. The issues keep piling up, missing persons, no response fro

Chapter 31SAGE“You let her win,” Sloane said as her fingers kneaded into my shoulders, causing a small relief to my tension.Her voice was laced with disappointment as she scoffed, “You shouldn't have given in to her request.” “She's too sly…”“Can you shut up and finish what you came to do?” I growled, rolling my eyes.“Whatever.” Sloane snorted, sparking my frustration.“Get out!” I said, and her hands froze on my shoulders. “What?” “You heard me clearly. Get out of my study.” Sloane left my shoulder and moved from behind me to stand in front. Shock flickered in her face. “Why are you suddenly chasing me out?” She asked, instead of actually listening.“I am not putting up with any of your tantrums, just get out.”“Tantrums?” Sloane pursed her lips, “Sage, I have been your peace for 10 long years. A bitch shows up and I suddenly have a tantrum? This isn't what you promised me…”“Listen to yourself, Sloane. Ten long years, I have kept my promise because nothing changed, but now

Chapter 30PIPER“T–That’s not true.” “Don't deny it, whoever you are.”Shantel deadpanned.“The Goddess brought me here for a reason. You can go ahead and tell everyone who I truly am; this doesn't change anything.” Shantel stood up, and Ares mirrored her. “I hope you are ready for what you are so eager to dive into.” She said and shifted her gaze to Ares, they both left, leaving me to my thoughts.I stood up, heading back to my room, as I turned towards the stares, a strong grip suddenly pulled me to the side, pushing me into an open door and shutting it immediately. I turned with a racing heart, ready to pounce on whoever had pulled me in here. But my defense slipped, realizing it was Flynn.“What is the meaning of this?” I asked, glaring hard at him.“I am intrigued, Princess Faye. I mean I have always known you to be quiet.” He stepped forward, his fingers rising to touch my face. I swatted his hand away, “Why did you bring me here? Do you know how implicating this can be for

Chapter 29PIPER“He agreed to it, just like that,” I said to Keala and Elara, and they were just as surprised as I was.“Did you say anything, other than when you spoke about leaving?” Elara asked with a calculating look.I shook my head, “No. But Uria, Tamara, Baski, and Benedict supported and chose to leave with me.” “Oh.” Kaela and Elara exclaimed at the same time.“What is it?” I asked, my curiosity eating me up. Kaela sighed,” Princess, you literally divided the council. That hasn't happened in the last ten years. Alpha Sage must have gotten scared, that's why he gave in to your request.” Kaela explained. Everything Elara said to me that day came rushing in. I thought she was just saying that to make me feel better, but she was clearly right. Sage cannot stand the council dividing, he's that scared of the war returning. “I didn't realize…”“It's okay Princess.” Elara butt in, “You got what you wanted. So what next?” I managed a smile, “I best prepare for my coronation.” A

Chapter 28PIPERWith Remi here, I knew things were about to be more difficult than I imagined. While having a training duel with Keala, Kaius showed up. That was the first time I was seeing him since the duel. He was more formal in behavior than I remembered.“I am sorry for interrupting your session Princess Faye, but there's an impromptu meeting you have to attend at the moment. Alpha Sage has asked me to bring you here myself.” “The Princess will be there as soon as she changes into something more suitable.” Kaela chimed in, but I shook my head. “No,” I replied with the craziest thought in mind. “I will go like this.” Kaela looked at me with wide eyes, “Princess, do you think that's…a good idea?”I nodded, anything to spite everyone who would be in that room. I also needed alone time to speak with Kaius, to understand why he had just chosen to act like I didn't exist. Kaius led the way, and I followed. As soon as we connected to the quiet hallway, I grabbed his shirt, stoppin
