Author's POV: "What was that about?" Kaz asked as soon as Amairah exited the conference with a pain in her heart. "I hurt her." Zackarya mumbled as he glanced at the where she just left. Kaz's lips turned upward in a smile as he saw his friends reaction warily."You regretting that?" Another question came from Kaz as he moved forward and started spreading the crumbled maps. He placed them before there were."I shouldn't." Zackarya took a long breath as he wanted to something. He wanted to open the door and run for her to tell her that he would do anything she wanted. If she wanted him to believe in love then he would. If she wanted him to believe in trust then he would do that too but he didn't do any of that.He had learned that accomplishing your wishes was never easy."You love her..." These few words left from Kaz's mouth making Zackarya turned around to look at him with a raised eyebrow. "...that Mana would have said." Kaz added as Zackarya let out a breath that he didn't know
AMAIRAH GARCIA'S POV: He was working as his muscles were flexing in the adorable way that could attract any women in this kitchen. He tasted the dough with his finger as it seemed something sweet and frothy and he also accomplished what he wanted to which I concluded when I came to see his smile after tasting what he made. I could have demanded that dough to taste but there wasn't anything that was putting smile on my face. I wanted to snatch the gown that I wore for Zackarya but I didn't want to go back towards the room. I didn't think that I would ever take my steps back then. ''Your Highness." Everyone was busy in their work with dedication as Myelin and Zoya were also there. Orester's voice made them realize about my presence. I gathered everyone’s attention when they lowered their heads and gave respect to me. "Rapu...Queen." Vermin came forward while cleaning his head with a napkin. "What made you come here Your Highness? Do you want something sweet? I can make anything
AUTHOR'S POV: She was moving towards her room with a chaos whirling inside her head that was caused by the constant murmuring of her heart causing her heartbeat to go rhythmically slow as if it her heart was drowning in the pit of her stomach. She couldn't care if anyone was seeing her with anxiousness on her face as if she didn't know her face was getting paler just by the thought of taking such a big step in her life. I think every big step brings this time of feeling. Excuses were swirling inside her chest just to calm her mutant heart which was trying to make her every step towards her room heavy and the moment she was about to enter the room she felt the hear surrounding between her legs. He is here. She was about to turn around but the thought that he must also be felt the heat towards her getting him to acknowledge her presence made her stop. She should meet him one last time as she just met him more than a half hour, but it still felt like ages. Raising her trembling ha
AMAIRAH' GARCIA'S POV:Mana.I heard about this name for the first time in the castle as seeing Zackarya's expressions I felt like she was an important character for him. "What?"His eyes widened for a second as he let out a sigh to control his senses then he looked at me with scrutinized gaze. "You can meet her whenever you feel comfortable." He said after giving it a thought and walked out leaving me perplexed. I wanted to meet this Mana who jeopardized Zackarya's senses in a minute.He was descending the stairs and I followed him with that heavy gowns. I looked at the other stairs to find Kaz and Amber coming down. Conner was also few steps away from them coming from a different side. Oren erupted from the kitchen side a behind her was Vermin and Myelin. They must be discussing about something work. "Who is Mana?" I asked in a whisper as soon as Kaz let go off Amber's hand and she came to stand beside me."I don't know but I am a hundred percent sure that they are scared of this
I knew Mana pressed the charges against him believing his words. The words I felt at that moment were true. They definitely weren't but deep inside there was a fibre of my heart that was desiring them to be true. I shook my head as a smile erupted on my face thinking how much weak I was when it came to feelings. He was strong because he didn't believe in any emotion and he was also right that it made you weak. It makes you weak enough to take biggest decisions to change your own life. It takes courage to crush your desires to change your path which you want to choose for a successful future with the air of safety and inner peace. I still had to talk to Vermin. I couldn't leave now as Mana came here specifically to meet me to see me or to examine me to check if I was capable of him or not. She was angry that he married me without her consent. That was the biggest moment of his life and she wanted to be a part of this. "So you are an orphan? Mana asked removing her bracelet from her
It was getting cold so we walked inside. We were ascending the stairs as we saw Zackarya going towards the right section where only two rooms were present. One was my previous cage and one was my current one. "I knew he wouldn't listen to me?" Mana seethed angrily as I bit my lower lip thinking he was about to get scolded by his grandmother. I wanted to witness that but she stopped me. "Stay here. He isn't allowed to see you." She said as I stood beneath the stairs where I could get a slight glimpse of him. "Yes mister where are you going?" She asked raising her stick in the air while pointing towards him. I saw him stiff for a second when he turned around keeping the straight face but his eyes were evident that he was doing something that he shouldn't."I had to take some papers from my room." He said as he wasn't looking like the cruel and ruthless King anymore. "Papers?" Mana raised her eyebrow asking him in a challenging tone making him shook his head more confidently. "Lier!
"He thinks no punishment can affect him. He is so full of himself like his mother..." Mana was constantly rumbling while pacing around the room. She was still affected by Zackarya's words from the previous morning as she denied me to have breakfast with everyone today in order to not take Zackarya's glance. The thought in her mind that I also wanted to punish gave her a newfound confidence in all her planning as I admit that I said something like that but now I didn't want to proceed this punishment thing further. I didn't know why? May be I am a grown up. Yes that could be the reason.My conscience spoke in a sarcastic manner as I couldn't roll my eyes because of the make-up artist doing my eye makeup with a small delicate brush.We had a ball today. It was just a small ceremony as it was custom to do a ball in this part of the year in Dark Spades. Zackarya didn't follow any customs that were set by my father or my ancestors. He wanted to build everything on his own."Sorry to int
The moment I felt the heat enough to make me go insane I found him standing far across the Hall with some of his advisors. He wasn't wearing any mask unlike others. I felt his jaw clenched as it was twitched from one side. His gaze was on my hand that was on Vermin's elbow as it was travelling from me then his face. I feared for Vermin at that time. He didn't know how much Zackarya hated to lose. My spine wasn't stable as electric shocks were running up and down were making me hard to stand on my legs as when I was about to remove my hand from Vermin’s elbow Mana appeared from nowhere. "Don't. Stick to him for the rest of the night and let me enjoy the show." When I first met Mana I thought she would be the grumpiest person with short tempered and dry personality. More dry than Oren but she crushed my expectation into pieces because she was the one who used to extract fun from different scenarios. She was finding this funny that Vermin's life was in danger just because my hand was
