“I am taking the woman. If I have to pay three times your amount, I will,” he stated and sat back gently against his seat. The nobleman sighed and shot Avril a greedy look. But he couldn't argue with the Prince, so he went back to his sit and sat down.
“It's settled then, the woman is for the Prince. But Dakar, how much are you willing to pay?”
“Father, I give ten rubies for her,” he answered and his father smiled.“Goo“Wait here. I'm going to get you food,” she added and with a speed that belonged to no human, she dashed out of the room. Avril swallowed a lump in her throat and walked to the bed. She sat down gently and heaved a very deep sigh.“Things are happening too fast,” she muttered to herself. She slipped her hand into her back pocket and pulled out her golden bracelet. It was then she realized that the bracelet could be hundred percent gold. From what she had seen so far, and what Aida said, the pack was very rich. There was no way the prince's bracelet would be fake gold.She lifted the object to face the light shining from the ceiling. It shone as it swayed under her finger.“My island wolf,” she mumbled as the memories of what he had said to her before he clasped it on her wrist, came back to her mind. She kissed it and pocketed it. She felt Alejandro's ring in there too, so she pulled it
Prince Dakar needed to get to the roof of his castle. He pulled off his animal fur regalia and wore a black dress shirt. He tied his hair in a very messy bun and wore black pants alongside black boots. He grabbed his phone and walked out of his room.“She is beautiful,” Derek, his wolf said in his head. He stopped walking and frowned.“Stop-talking-about-her,” he gritted angrily.“Don't command me... I'll talk about whoever I want,” Derek snapped back. Dakar heaved a deep sigh and rubbed his hand on his forehead. He looked at the lines on that arm, snake-like and black. People had thought they were new tattoes since they were on the same side of his wolf tattoo. No one, not even Camper, his closest knew they caused him pain on a regular. Whenever he thought about her, they burned deep into his body and soul, he would regret ever seeing her face in his head. He lived two years in fear of his own mind. Everything s
Aida paced around the back of Prince Dakar's castle, partially worried. What they were doing was very illegal, and if they were caught? That could be worse than death. Why did she even agree to doing this in the first place? Avril had told Gia to go and spy on her friends and tell her where they were. Gia had agreed and immediately she left, Avril turned to her and asked to be taken to the prince's castle. Avril had promised to be quick so Aida agreed. She had taken her through his house as quiet as possible and went back to stand outside.“I'm so stupid,” she muttered and slapped herself. The roof was far up, so she couldn't hear a thing. How Avril knew the Prince would be up there, she wondered. Why did she even want to talk with the Prince?“Aida,” she heard her name and gasped as she saw Avril with the cloak in her hands. She was staggering as she walked and almost fell down to the ground if not for Ai
Camper was very serious, so Avril couldn't laugh. She bit her lower lip and heaved a deep sigh. “Uhm, which girl are you talking about again?” “The dark skinned one, with the body. You know, the shape. Hour glass,” he said and even demonstrated it. “Nana. Her name is Nana,” Avril said. “Nana,” he called dreamingly. “Feels so good on my mouth. Tell me, how does she like her men?” he asked and Avril tapped her index finger on her lips. “She likes bold men. Men with authority and a well built body,” she answered. He moved backwards and spread out his arms. “Do you think I'm well built enough?” “Hmmm... Yeah. You're not like the men I've seen since I came here. But you'll do.” “Would she like me? My body I mean.” “Yes. She definitely would.” “Okay. I'm bold, very bold. And I have enough authority. Also, do you know?” he asked and beckoned on her to move closer with his ha
Prince Dakar's breathing turned ragged as he clutched the chair for support.“My prince,” Ñiraka called to him as she noticed he wasn't okay. She tried to hold his hand but he pulled it away.“Son, are you okay?” his father asked. He breathed in deeply and opened his eyes.“Yes, father. I am okay,” he answered and sat upright. The pain had gone so he was back to normal.“What is her name?” the king asked aloud. Everyone settled their eyes on the man in the middle of the field again. He reached into his pocket and picked out a paper. He took it towards the light of a fire on a pole and pronounced the first name his eyes fell on among the list of names.“Fiorella,” he said and drummers beat noisily on their drums.“From today henceforth, the human girl will be called Fiorella which is translated as Flower. She shall be treated as one of us because she
Avril looked left and right the spaces between each building. The houses were built close to each other so the spaces were not too wide. She couldn't hear any voices, and it seemed like they were the only ones outside.“Is the palace always this empty?” she asked her maidens.“Well, it's not empty. Just that no one is walking around this vicinity yet. People only walk when they have to go somewhere, right?” Aida asked.“Yeah. Uhm, can we go towards the prince's castle?” she asked in a low voice. Aida and Gia exchanged puzzled glances.“We can't?” Avril asked.“We can. Only if we are called by him or sent by the Alpha. Only Ñiraka has that liberty to go in and out of his house,” Gia explained.“Which means we can't. Eish!”They walked in silence, looking at the trees and other buildings. Avril saw the dried leaves being blown about and she reme
“What? No! Damn, I hate her!” Avril retorted and her held unconsciously moved up to her hair. She winced in pain from her back and dropped her hand immediately.“Oh sorry. Be more careful. That shit is painful,” Verona sympathized.“Uhm, Verona. Can I find somewhere to sit? I'm tired of standing,” Avril said.“You're taking permission from me? Don't be that soft, please. There's a bench under that tree. Wanna sit there?” she pointed at a tree close to her building and Avril nodded. They walked there silently, except for Verona's frequent bubble bursting.Avril heaved a deep sigh as she sat down. Something was wrong with her and she didn't know what. She was suddenly feeling nervous.“I need to see my friends. Gia, how can I see them today?” she asked Gia who was behind her.“Ehmm.. when? I don't think they're also strong enough to meet up righ
Verona poked Avril in the shoulder gently, so she looked at her.“Let's go,” she mouthed without any sound. Avril nodded and looked at the fence again, as if she could see Dakar through it. She turned around and gently crawled out in a way it wouldn't hurt her back. They reached the building itself and straightened up. They walked quite a distance before any of them could breathe well.“That was fun, right?” Verona asked with beaming eyes as she chewed endlessly on her bubble gum. Avril chuckled.“I might do that everyday,” she said and laughed. Verona was impressed and nodded while gazing at her.“I like you. I like you a lot,” she confessed sincerely. Avril was pleased that Verona landed on her good side, but before she could say anything else, Camper was seem strolling towards them in a hurry.“Oh, hey Camps!” Verona hailed at him. He seemed to be absent minded as he walke
