>>EsraI grew accustomed to Adam visiting the forest. Somehow, I don’t know how, but the Dryad didn’t mind letting him in.Maybe it was because he was a werewolf and was a mystical being too.I had also grown accustomed to healing his small injuries and calling a nymph over if he had any serious ones. A year passed like that and we had grown really close. We stayed up nights when he was over and just simply talking seemed special too. He was the only wolf in the whole magic realm and he was with me. The thought would often make me feel giddy.I introduced him to Arsay and her to Adam. Surprisingly they got along well too except the fact Arsay was spending most of her time out of the forest.Because she was reckless like this, I always had to stay in the forest. Perhaps this is why I was the true Queen and she only had a supporting role, If Arsay was chosen as the first Queen the forest would be in chaos.I snickered and looked out the window while I sat in my room. I was alone there
>>EsraIt must have been the alcohol that went straight to our heads and blinded our rational judgement. I couldn’t think of any other explanation for our actions.Adam slept for two days straight after that night. He wasn’t just drunk, he was mentally drained as well, maybe that’s why he slept so long. I could understand, whenever he goes back to his pack he has to deal with constant problems.I was in the room when he came to but as soon as he woke up and saw me the color left his skin and he went pale.He was beyond terrified and I had no idea why.“Adam?” I stepped closer to him but he backed away, “What’s wrong?” His actions were suspicious.“Esra…” His throat was dry so he gulped before speaking again, “You're pregnant.” He said and I was taken aback by his words.“I’m not.” I told him and he shook his head.“I can tell.” His gaze dropped, “A werewolf has the ability to tell that about the people who they are close with.” He gulped again, “I’m well familiar with your scent and
Adam didn’t come back for days.I went through the delivery alone and was quite weak when the raven returned to me.It sat on the window sill looking at me while I half sat on my bed.“Come here.” I ordered it and it flew to my side and hopped on the bed towards me. “Do you know where Adam is?” It didn’t answer me like it was afraid to say something so I had no choice but to take the magic out of it to see for myself.The moment I did my blood began to boil, fear and jealousy began to take over me and that was when I came to know that Werewolves have their mates pre-decided by fate.In the memory I got from the raven I learned he had found his true mate in the human world.I saw Adam making his way to the forest when another werewolf emerged from the other side of the forest. The moment they both laid eyes on each other they froze. The female wolf shifted to her human form and ran to him and embraced him, sliding her arms around his waist and locking them there.“My love.” The woman s
>>MayaI see, so that’s the whole story.I smiled sadly.So that’s what happened.I got to know the story but I guess I learned a lot more from it.“So, there's one thing I want to ask you.” I sighed softly, “Regarding the curse.” I had come to a realization after all.“You’re a smart girl.” Esra knew I had caught on, “You picked up ‘that’ point didn’t you?”I nodded, “Is it because of that I felt the same amount of pain when Yohan was hurt?” “Mmmm” Esra nodded, “Because you both are bound to each other. In blood and in soul. There will never be an escape from it. If he gets hurt, you’ll feel the pain too. It’s because you accepted him, now the second part will continue.”“I see, so it switched.”“Yes.” She held my hands tighter, “I’m so sorry child.”“Actually, this is bad.” My hands trembled, “After all that, it’s like we’ll be at point zero.”“I’m so sorry.”“Why? Why did you have to be so hateful?” I tried holding my tears. I know what happened wasn’t her intention but her action
Yohan’s treatment continued for four days straight and then after all of his body was fully healed he was taken out of the water bed and laid down on a bed in the first queen’s room.Fascinating as it was magical. The creatures of the forest lived inside the humongous tree houses. I couldn’t tell if they were built like this or if they were a part of the tree since it looked as if the houses emerged from them, they were so closely connected but then again seeing how nicely furnished they were they couldn’t have been just a part of the tree, work was definitely done on it by architects and workers. It was all just so magical, especially since the houses looked so great. Bricks, wood, cement, everything was used in making it, yet it fit in with the forest so perfectly.The houses were at the most inner part of the forest. Home to many different kinds of forest fae but I couldn’t meet any one of them since I stayed by Yohan’s side the whole time. Arsay and Esra had also forbidden them f
>>MayaI froze in my place when Yohan’s voice entered my ears.Am I dreaming?I shot my head around and saw him awake. His eyes were open and he had a smile on his face.“Yohan!!” I ran back to him and jumped on the bed to hug him, “Oh God!!” I wrapped my arms around him while he was still in bed, “Oh! Finally!!” I felt so much better. I thought I was fine after his treatment was done but only now that I’ve seen him awake have I finally relaxed.It felt like a huge weight was lifted off of my chest.“Did I worry you that much?” He spoke, “I can feel your body shiver.” He wrapped his arms around me while I had my face buried in his chest and for a few seconds I didn’t raise my head, “Maya?”I raised my head, “You’re an idiot Yohan.” I sniffled but didn’t cry, “You had me so worried.”He didn’t say anything, just took a deep breath and thought about some stuff. He then sat up on the bed and I gave him some space, “I’m sorry but if anything would have happened to you that would have bee
>>Maya“So, what do you know! You’re a prince as well.” I teased him while we both sat in a restaurant for dinner. It was 7 pm and we were eating a little earlier than usual but it didn’t matter. What mattered was that we both were here together on this special day, that finally felt special after so many years.“Yeah… I should have figured that out when dad told me about me being the son of the Queen’s sister.” He paused, “Oh that’s why that raven bowed to me.” He came to a sudden realization.“A raven bowed to you?”“Yeah. When I went to meet a witch.” He smiled, “My mother is a raven-maid and so am I, so that makes sense.” He touched his earring, “Still feels weird to be honest.”I laughed lightly, “It’s bound to but how does it feel to be a prince?”“Stop teasing me.” He grinned, “I can ask you the same thing. How does it feel to be the one and only of a prince?”“I’ll tell you when I have my own palace.” I folded my arms and stuck out my chin in pride.“Mmhmm.” He raised his brow
>>Maya“Woohooo!!!” Cold wind hit my face as Yohan ran in the forest with me on his back. I gripped his fur tightly so that I wouldn’t fall but man was this feeling amazing.There was so much excitement in me.I was feeling tingly all over and I couldn’t stop grinning. The feeling was just magical, it felt like I was soaring through the woods.My hair fluttered behind me and even though the air was dry and cold I didn’t feel annoyed at all, rather, it was refreshing. It felt really really nice.‘You okay up there?’ There was a voice in my head and I was startled even though I recognized it, ‘Ah! You must be surprised.” Yohan’s voice continued in my head, ‘Since you’re officially my mate now we can communicate like this.’“Really?” This was fascinating. “How do you do this?”‘Link up your mind with mine, just focus on an image in your head, that you’re talking to me through just your thoughts. That should be enough.”I see.I closed my eyes and did as I was told.Focus.I told myself.
