ELINNA“One would think that taking a body like this would make you more of a man and less of a coward but no, I could smell your cowardice all the way from the gate.”He scoffed and pushed his sunglasses further up his nose bridge.“I’m sure you know how much I hate the sun. So don't waste my time with stupid talks and lets go inside so we can talk about the things that truly matter.”He turned around and walked away, leaving me standing there.I wonder if he could sense Ice. He would have said something if he could. She probably hid herself very well.I followed him into the house, remembering the first time I walked in through these hallways. I felt so happy that day, I felt like every other bride, but I wasn't treated like one.I only saw these hallways two times, the first time I came to this house and the last time I was in this house.That day marked my freedom and I remembered dragging my pregnant self out of this house, swearing that I'll never come back here again even as a

ELINNA“Noe, explain to me how on earth I tell you to do one thing. One thing! And who do you go ahead to do?! Twenty five other things asides that one thing! Do you think that if he had decided to harm you or kill you, he won't have succeeded?”Since I got home and called for Ice, I'd been getting an earfull..“And who will be blamed for this? Who do you think will have to take the fall for your irresponsible actions, Elinna?! I will. Because I was supposed to be watching you but you put yourself in harm's way!”The fact that she was in my head and she was shouting just made things worse. I had a very bad headache and I had to deal with it. I knew that I shouldn't have gone to smart talk him but I couldn't help it.There was just something about him that made me so angry.“Ice please stop shouting. I didn't mean to. He asked to see you,.I panicked. I thought he wouldn't be able to sense you since you left.”I just laid down on the bed and let the cool breeze hit me. I'd been through

CARLISLEBy the time I woke up, the moon was in the sky.My whole body felt like it had been beating to it's ends with a very big stick and I could barely move. My throat was so parched and it hurt so much when I swallowed.I managed to reach for the bell on my nightstand and rang it. I don't remember the last time I used that bell because I liked doing things myself.The bell was to call for maids or guard when I needed help.Gosh, why couldn't I remember what I had done to make me feel like this?The door opened and Gomez ran in.“My Liege, you're awake. You took a long nap.”“Gomez, get me water and some food. Also some pain killers. Now.”He looked up at me and froze, staring right at me like I had just spoken some foreign language.“Why are you still standing there? Go!”He uses his legs, running out of the room..I managed to gather myself and get out of bed, setting my eyes on the couch beside the window..“What the hell is going on?” I whispered as I sat down.Gomez walked pac

ELINNA“What did you say about the new investor? I was on a call when you came in the other time and I was distracted.” Lizzy rolled her eyes at me. “I said he came in to see the place and he said he was looking forward to meeting you the next time he came.”Mmm, at least this time, there was no funny story about our investor being possessed. I wondered if Lizzy would believe it if I told her. I highly doubted it. The way she hated Carlisle, you'd think he was the one who created the devil. “Why didn't he just wait till I was back before coming? Now he had to make a double trip.” She thought about it for a moment then shrugged. “He had already made plans and he had a trip for Japan the next day so I'm guessing he wanted to finish up business in this part of the world.”That made sense…it was lunch time and my stomach was actually very hungry. My body was so tired and I was sleepy. When the bell rang, I just put my pen down and rested my head beteeen my hands because I couldn't

ELINNA“Are you okay? What's wrong?”I gathered myself together and forced a smile, not liking the pain that was shooting through mybhead. I had warned Ice not to shout in my head but I guess the pain I felt didn't matter.The pain didn't last for long though.“Yes, I'm fine. Let's get going. I just thought I forgot something.”As she walked ahead of me, I tried to wonder what the hell had just happened.“Ice, what the hell was that? Why did you shout at me like that?”Helen entered the car before me.“I’m sorry for the way I raised my voice but I did it to warn you. I mean, you couldn't let you talk about Chase. I don't want you telling anyone about Chase until I'm sure that they're clean. You'd be surprised how good demons are at hiding themselves.”What? Helen? Possessed? That was crazy to even imagine.But I couldn't imagine it too until I saw the demon in Carlisle.“Do you think she's possessed too?”I mean, her coming to look for me out of nowhere was a very suspicious thing but

CARLISLEHe was back.After all these years, he came back.He ruined my life back then and now, just when I thought I could finally have my life back, that bastard was back.“Gomez, why didn't you tell me? Did you think I wouldn't find out?”Gomez kept staring at his feet.“My King, I couldn't bear to tell you the truth. I mean, after all these years that we thought that we had won against him, I couldn't bring myself to tell you that he was back. You would be so disappointed.”I could understand that but what if hebhad gone ahead to do something that didn't want to? I would have to take responsibility for it.“Let’s leave that. I don't know when he's going to be back so we have to hurry up and find out what he wants this time around. Did he go anywhere with me?”From the way Gomez recoiled, I could tell that he had done something he wasn't supposed to.“He went to see her.”My heart sank to the bottom of my feet.I stood up from my chair and crossed the room to meet him, hoping that

ELINNA“What? What do you mean you're coming to New York?” Brad smiled into the phone. “I mean I'm coming to New York. I have a deal to close and also an excuse to see you and Chase! I've missed you guys so much!”Chase would be so happy when I tell him about this. He didn't get to see Brad before we left back here and he was so close to Brad. “You don't seen as happy as I thought you would. Don't you want to see me?”I gave him a look. “What? How can you say that? Of course I'm happy that you want to come. Hurry up, when is your flight?” I knew that he was going to check his planner. Brad had a very terrible memory and I had to make him buy a planner and sticky notes so that he would remember everything that he needed to do. “Oh, it's this Saturday. I should be with you by Monday morning. It's going to be a very long flight.”Well, we didn't really feel the stress of the flight because we used the private jet so there was a lot of comfortability. “Well, I would be very honored

CARLISLEGomez had reached out to her. He had called her in front of me and as the phone rang, my heart beat in my chest, wondering what she was going to say when she picked up. “Hello? Who's this?”I gave Gomez a go ahead. “Is this Elinna Evergreen?”She didn't answer immediately. “Yes, this is she. Who is this, again?”“This is Gomez. I'm Carlisle's right hand man.”She burst out laughing. “Did he send you to me? He said he wanted to kill me. Has he asked you to lure me back to the pack?”Gosh, from the way she was talking, I could tell that she was very mad. I really want to know what he had said to her that day he went to her office and the day that he had called her here. “Elinna, please hear me out. That's far from what happened. Listen, he wants to explain what happened to you. Carlisle is not the same anymore. But he's fine now and he heard everything that happened. He wants to apologise for everything the other guy did.”If she was running away from me, it was a valid r

ELINNA“W-We just told you that they committed slander against the King! How can you say we should present evidence? Isn't that evidence enough?”I stood up from my seat and went to where they had the women kneeling. “Guards, help these women to their feet and give them the seats available. How coincidental is it that we have just the right number of seats available? And if you dare to hurt any of them in any way, I'll make sure that they watch from the outside while you suffer in the cells.”They didn't have the right to touch thess women and so help me. If I found out that these women were innocent, which I knew that they were, they would pay for it. And all the bruises that they gave to them were not self inflicted so they'd have to pay for that. When the women were seated, I leaned on the table and faced them, starting with the one closest to me. Her eyes were fixed on the ground and she was visibly shaking. “What is your name? And what are you being accused of?” She didn't l

ELINNA“So lay it on me.” I sat and crosses my legs “What’s the agenda for today?”I could still hear some whispers but that didn't concern me. They seemed a bit too star-struck for me. Handy they seen a woman leading before? Well, that wouldn't be a shock, considering the type of family Carlisle came from. Men were often the leading figures and the women just laid back and bore children. Since I'd grown up, I don't think I'd ever heard of the Queen. Even as a teenager, I didn't know Carlisle's mother nor had I ever seen her. “Let me introduce myself to you gentlemen since you seem a bit too aloof. My name is Elinna Scarlett Evergreen, wife of the King Carlisle Evergreen, the Fourth, King of the Lycan Kingdom. Making me the Queen. My husband has come down with something very nasty and he has asked me to see to his affairs. Now that we have that out of the way, let's get into business or do you want to introduce yourselves too and turn this into a meet and greet?”There was a snicke

ELINNA“You can still eat while they work. I know it may look overwhelming but it's not.”Yeah, easy for him to say. He wasn't the one who had to sit down and be their doll. I didn't have this much of a crew when I had to do the press conference. “Just go, sit down and let them work. They have to be done with you in an hour.”An hour? And here I was thinking that they would be done in half an hour at most. The fact that the elders were already waiting for me was funny. Because they would be expecting me any moment now, and here I was, not looking anything like a Queen. With that in mind, I walked over and sat in the chair, holding my breath as they approached me with their makeup brushes and hair brushes and spray cans. They did allow me to eat. However, they had to feed it to me at intervals which was very uncomfortable. With my eyes closed, I didn't even know when they were done and I was scared to open my eyes , because the last time I did, one of the ladies almost bit my head

ELINNA “Gomez, I don't think I can do this. Just tell them that the King can't see them right now. What do I know about the present situation? I can't go there and embarrass myself. I mean, what do you want me to say? Give them a yes or no verdict? What if they don't listen to me? I'll look like a fool. I can't take that risk. Besides, the only time they've ever seen me was at the wedding. And they probably know about the divorce. I don't think they will want to hear anything from me. The wedding is obviously invalid. What will-” “My Queen!” I hadn't even realized that I had been shouting until I heard that. The car was finally silent and I just sat there, staring at the road. I was not the Queen. I never was. And I never will be. “You married the King, Mrs Evergreen. You are the Queen. And no, they don't know about the divorce. The King kept that a secret from everyone else. So to them, you're still the Queen.” I wanted to ask him if he was pulling my legs but I knew that

ELINNA As I made my way into the house, my stomach churned. I didn't feel so good anymore and the warning bells were going off in my head, telling me to go back because I was showing to be in a house alone with Kesian. “Don’t worry about it. Go, I'll make sure it take care of things. He won't harm you and if it even crosses his mind, I put him down before he can succeed.” With Ice's reassuring words in heart, I was finally inside the house. Kesian was in the dining room with his back turned away form me. “You know if you were going to make me a meal, you shouldn't have let me go. It's not safe for em to be driving at night.” He didn't move and it didn't seem like it was him I was talking to. Either way, I made my way to the seat, sitting down at the exact place where I had been sitting earlier that day. The food laid out before did smell divive and it made me wonder where he got it. Did he ask a maid to prepare it or did he do some magic and this happened? Either way, no mat

ELINNA I lodged in a hotel. There was no way that I could let myself go back home when I knew that something was going to go very wrong if I did. Even though I didn't know what they were planning, I couldn't help but feel a slight sense of responsibility. Carlisle didn't have control over his body and it was up to me to protect him. I know that he'll trust me to do so and I couldn't let him down. I couldn't leave him at the hands of that thing. I didn't know what damage he would do. I'll be here to keep an eye on him. Hopefully, he leaves quickly so Carlisle and I can go back home. The fact that it seemed like he was so untouchable kept me on the edge. I mean, so far I hadn't found out anything that could help me in bringing him down. Yes, I knew about him and I knew his motive and what he was pining for but that didn't mean that I had won this. Infact, it seemed like he was always a step ahead of me. If this was how things were going to keep going, then I didn't have a

ELINNA What did I know that I was doing? I'd told Carlisle to trust me, that I knew what we were doing but as we approached the gate of his old house, I began to wonder what I would do if this whole situation had gone out of control. Kesian had already made it clear that he wasn't a fan of me and that he wanted to kill.me so if he actually did attack me, what would I do? I'd asked Ice to be dormant, meaning that she couldn't just jump out of thin air. Why had I come here in the first place? There was something I wanted to try. As we got down from the car, I felt the urge to tell Carlisle the truth. I was setting him up for a trap and I might as well let him in on it so he wouldn't just be out in the open.. “Carlisle, there is something I want to tell you.” He stopped walking and turned to me..I could see his eyes even in the darkness. Safe to say Kesian hadn't caught unto us yet. He closed the distance between us. “What is the matter? Do you sense him?” I shook m

ELINNA We met up later that night. Well, evening because the sun hadn't fully gone down. When I saw him get down from his car, I patiently waited for Gomez to come out after him but when I didn't see him, I let out a sigh of relief. I didn't have anything against the guy but this time, I just wanted it to be just Carlisle. “You ready?” He nodded. I could feel his eyes still on him as I walked past him to his car but I didn't turn around or say anything because I didn't feel like talking yet. The first hour after he started driving was quiet. I was on my phone texting Lizzy, coming up with a lie about where I was going to be for at least a week and hoping that she would believe it when he pulled me out of my thoughts. “How're things at your company? Are other investors still giving you a headache?” I looked up from my phone before shaking my head. “No, no one has said anything about leaving but it doesn't mean the other investors don't know about it.” He looked at me.. “Yo

Carlisle The news had finally gotten to me. What Emily had been talking about had just happened. They'd come to tell me about the shipment and how they needed my help with it. Just as I was starting to get lost in my thoughts, my phone rang. I picked it up, expecting it to be Gomez or Alex but it was Elinna. "Hey, Carlisle. I was thinking we should meet up and talk." I raised an eyebrow, wondering what she wanted to talk about "What's on your mind?" I asked, trying to wonder if there's an issue. "I just wanted to discuss some things with you," she said. "Maybe we could grab coffee or something?" I nodded, even though she couldn't see me. "Sure, that sounds good," I said. "When were you thinking?" "How about now?" she asked. "I'm free if you are." I glanced at my watch, wondering what was happening. "I'm good," I said. "Where do you want to meet?" We agreed on a different place this time since the usual place didn't serve coffee. and I hung up the phone, feeling a sense
