>>MayaQuincy went back to the human world after a few hours since Nena was there alone. I made sure she went to sleep before coming here but since it was going to be morning soon Quincy decided to leave. I’m actually really thankful to him, he takes really good care of Nena.I was afraid of him for most of my life but now that I know why, I have come to accept him. I was probably scared because I couldn't understand him, but how could have I understood him when I didn’t even know who he was. Moreover he asked for strange things that I only understood after I found out that he was a vampire.But Nena had known all along, I guess that’s why she’s so attached to him.I wondered if the hospital staff was panicking by now? Quincy did say we’re safe as long as Adam and Alina don’t come to visit or as long as no other staff enters the room but how long will that be?I sat on the grass with my knees next to my chest and stared at the nymphs doing their work.The Makoi fishes swam in the wate
>>Esra {28 years ago}Soft winds, calm beings and the beauty of nature was all I had ever known.It was my everything.It was all I ever needed. Overseeing and interfering only when needed was my job ever since I became the Queen ages ago.I had seen life being made, grow and pass on. I had seen all kinds of mystical beings and I knew them all well. All except werewolves.Since wolves did not dwell in the magic realm.Unlike the rest of us who needed magic to survive and came over to this side the werewolves had no such need. Their human appearance was a part of them and they chose to stay among humans since they aged similarly as well.In my whole life I never got to see a wolf since the beings who lived in this world did not cross over to the human world and it was the same the other way around. Because it is this way, there is peace. The crossings rarely ever happened and were mostly when there was a need.I had traveled the world before my coronation as Queen and I even met the
>>Esra“I have to go back.” Adam said.“Why?” I couldn’t understand, “You almost died there.” I told him.“Yeah but that’s where I live.” He scratched his neck, “I know living in a weak pack is nothing to be proud of but my family is there and I’m supposed to be the next leader. I can’t just disappear.”Can’t just disappear? Like hell.“You would have been dead anyway if you didn’t reach the forest so just stay.”“I can’t.” He shook his head, “You don’t understand.” He was moving his hands around while talking, it seemed like he was restless, “If I disappear the whole pack is in danger.”“Why?”“Because I’m the only heir. My presence ensures that at the very least we have hope.”“But look at yourself!” I raised my voice slightly, “Look how many scars you have.”“Look.” He sighed, “I don’t need you to pity me. I’m very thankful to you for saving my life but I need to go back and show my pack I’m alive.”“Well go ahead.” I folded my arms. This idiot is too bent on leaving so I’m not goi
>>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
