- Giselle -

The darkness that enveloped me was not as real as the feeling I got when I looked down and saw myself in the familiar tattered and faded gown I wore very often as I maid. I could not find any of those long flowing royal gowns anywhere.

"Don't stand there looking," someone called to me. "We have a lot of work to do. A large portion of the palace has not been cleaned."

I don't understand...

What's happening? Did I return to being a maid again? I remember this so well. My heart raced with fear.

Just a while ago, I was a princess, and now this?

"What's with you?" One of the maids shook me off my thoughts. "What are you thinking about."

"I'm a maid?" I asked, unable to understand what had happened. The other maid looked at me quizzically.

"You have always been a maid," she replied. "Where is this question coming from?'

I still did not understand. It can't be. Just now I was the Princess.

"When you finish mopping that, Princess Kira wants to see you. So make sure you are done on

    - Giselle -"Princess," Kira bowed as she addressed me."Yes?" I raised a brow."The Alpha King would like to have a word with you," She told me, and I stopped what I was doing to look at her the moment she mentioned Franklin, and her eyes twitched suspiciously."Alpha Franklin?" I repeated before I could stop myself."Yes, Princess.""Oh..." I braced myself. "Tell him I will be on my way.""Alright."She replied and walked out of the room. I sighed, wondering what he wanted to have sent for me in the day. It should have waited till night when we usually meet.I walked to his room and my heart beat raced with expectation, not because I wanted to know what he would say, but because I wanted to see him.I tightened my hand to hold myself when he finally was standing before me."You sent for me," I said with my voice a little bit higher than usual because I was afraid it would break."Yes, pretty," he replied casually and I tried to hold the blush."We agreed to meet at night when people

    - Franklin -I took a deep breath after Giselle walked out and paced back to my stool. I couldn't understand why she did not want me like I wanted her.I was on edge because I did not know what to think. I did say I wouldn't force anything on her and I will keep to my word.In as much as I loved her dearly, if she wants us to stay away, I have no choice but to respect her decision.I was serious about her giving me an heir. I wanted it to happen soon and fast so I wouldn't have to present Xavier to the Lords.I have meditated about him and I am most certain that he could not control the things I would have left in his hands.People only hold him in great accord because of me and not like he had done anything by himself. He will have to prove to me beyond reasonable doubt that he has substance and he has a very short time to do that.In the meantime, I have to prepare for a meeting with one of the princesses whom I had a business schedule with.I had asked her to meet me here instead w

    - Giselle -I stretched on the bed tiredly and opened my eyes when the door creaked open and a maid walked in. I frowned at the disturbance and she lowered her gaze apologetically.I'd instructed them not to come in for a few hours because I wanted to take a rest."I'm so sorry my princess, but the King sent me to you. There's an important visitor in the palace and he wants you to be there to welcome-""No please," I cut in. There's no way I'm leaving my nap to welcome anyone. I feel so tired I can't even lift a limb. "Tell my father that I beg to pass now. I am so tired. I will see the visitors before they leave.""Alright, princess."She was about to leave when I had a second thought and out of curiosity, asked her."Who are the visitors?""It's actually the crowned princess of Moondream pack, my princess," she told me and my eyes popped open.That's one of the great packs around the region. I've only heard about the princess too from stories and of how great she is."Why will Fathe

    - Franklin -"It's good to see you again, Zeba," I told the princess and she smiled."It's been like what? More than ten years and you are still looking as young and handsome as the last time I remembered," she replied."You are not looking bad yourself," it was the best response I could think of."Thank you," she smiled hard like I had said something significant. She took the glass of wine in front of her and sipped it slowly while her eyes hovered over it to maintain eye contact."We should talk about the business proposal you have," I went straight to the matter at hand because the atmosphere was suddenly getting awkward."Oh, what's the hurry?" She replied calmly, keeping the glass back on the table. "We should catch up on old times. It will make it easier. Besides, I will be here for a while because I want to oversee a few things with King Marcus and the neighbouring packs. As you know, I live very far.""That is more reason why you should get on with what you need to sort so you

    - Franklin -I strolled down to the garden and behind the building with Zeba. I stopped, looking towards where me and Giselle meet each other at nights."What are you looking at?" Zeba looked towards the direction. "What's there?""Uh, nothing," I replied. "Let's go."We headed for the training ground where there weren't many people."My father was a very skilled werewolf," she said with a small smile as she looked at the weapons carefully arranged."A very great warrior and alpha," I replied. "I remember we used to train with him when we were much younger.""Oh so you do?" Her face lit up. "Yes, I remember too. You were always grumpy and too serious even then. You did not talk to other princes. They thought you had so much pride because you thought yourself better.""I was there to train and not to talk," I replied indifferently. "And not being prideful, I was actually better than many of them.""You've not changed, have you?" She shook her head making for a sword. I stood still and

    - Franklin -I had not showered and was about to retire to bed when a soft knock came on the door."Who's there?" I asked, wondering."Open the door please," a feminine voice spoke from outside and I squinted my eyes suspiciously before going to open it."Zeba?"She pushed her way through and entered the room. I closed the door after her, my eyes narrowed questioningly."What are you doing here?" I asked."I couldn't sleep," she sighed and I couldn't understand how that should warrant her to come to my room, looking like...that.In all the years I have known her, she has never been exposed before me to that extent. She was not naked, but the thin and almost transparent silk nightgown revealed way too much.It was above her knee, exposing most part of her legs. It hugged her body so all her contours were not hidden anymore.Most times, she was always in a royal dress or war regalia and I did not get to see most of that. Standing before me was not the Princess Zeba everyone respected an

    - Xavier -I was faster to catch up with Princess Zeba before she disappeared into her room."What?" She turned round to face me with a frown on her face. I chuckled as I approached her."Keep it down," I said. "We are not fighting now are we?""What do you want?" She was still unsmiling."I know you don't like me," I told her casually as if I didn't care that she didn't. "And I might say that the feeling is mutual but it can't be that bad. I'm sure we still have a few things in common.""Look I don't have any time to waste with you. I have more important things to deal with and worry about.""Like trying to get my father's attention", I asked her and her face fell."What's that supposed to mean?" Her voice fell as well."I mean, you seem to have another reason for coming down here because you seem to be so free with him more than usual.""Your father and I have known each other for many years now. We trained together so we are friends," she defended."Oh well, if you say so. I'm just

    - Zeba -Franklin approached us and I was glad he came at the time he did. I wonder who the hell the princess thinks she is to stand up to me.I have been in many packs and have met many princesses and Lunas who despite their positions in their packs, would bow to my feet and honor me.This little brat thinks she is something because I am in her pack. She's just a princess by nature, being the child of an Alpha King, and nothing more."There's no need to exchange words," Franklin spoke after I reported her to him and I could not understand why he was sounding calm the way he did. I expected him to call her to order."Did you hear what I just said? I said she called me names," I tried to make him see the gravity of what she had done. "She-"I heard you clear Zeba," he cut in. "But there is no point dragging this. You should let it be."Giselle grinned at me and walked away."How can you let her go despite what she's done?" I turned to face Franklin, not letting it go. His eyes remained

    - Kira -I followed father around, trying to keep up with his pace. He was very excited about Giselle's delivery and was so busy sending out invitations for the celebration party and I had to help him."I feel very fulfilled," he told me and I had to force a smile. "I am now a grandpa after all these years. Giselle sure knows how to make me a happy man after her mother."He must have realized I might be upset with that when he added."All my children make me happy," and looked at me. "Like the day I found out you were my long-lost daughter after searching for you for years."I was glad when he did not say anything again for the next few minutes. It would have been my head blowing off if he did. I was already tired and fed up with talks about Giselle and the babies. So much for thinking she might not survive this one and she did.I have always wondered if there was something different about her. The aura that gives on a main character in a movie or something.She was always getting awa

    - Giselle -I walked out of the bathroom and the first thing I saw was Franklin crouched over our babies, looking at them with so much tenderness in his eyes.I smiled and leaned on the wall, watching him watch them.I was already recovering and felt very much better even though I recalled so well that I was at the point of death.I was already giving up then a scent I knew so well enveloped me. I could not see him but I knew he was there. I did not know what he did but somehow I gained strength from it.I became charmed over again. Marrying Franklin was the best decision I have ever made in my life. He was my soulmate and the best thing that ever happened to me.His love was overwhelming. It was so strong it protected me from the hands of death. My heart melted towards him over again and I felt like a teenager who had just met her first love.I walked towards him and wrapped my arms around his neck. I closed my eyes and hugged him tightly.He was taken aback, not expecting the hug bu

    - Franklin -"Where is my wife?" I asked the question I dreaded."Oh, she is fine," the doctor said. "She and the babies are fine.""Thank goodne..." I let out a deep breath and sucked it back in almost immediately as his words registered in my head. "What did you just say?"He smiled."She had twins," he told me. "A boy and a girl."I couldn't believe my ears and did not know how to react to the news either."You mean, I'm having two babies at once?" I asked, holding out two fingers.I don't know why that sounded funny to the doctor but he chuckled and nodded."In fact, you already have them," he said. I brushed him out of the way into the room and found them. My two gems and lovely wife are on the bed.Words failed me. And for the first time in a very long while, tears gathered in my eyes."Oh my goodness, oh my goodness," I muttered as I moved slowly towards them. Giselle was awake but looked weak. In spite of that, she managed a small smile.I held her hand hands gently and kissed

    - Cleopatra -I turned round abruptly, surprised to see him."Franklin?" I called as if I was not sure of his existence in flesh and blood. "What are you doing here? I thought we agreed you were going to wait in your chambers so the doctors can work this out?""I changed my mind," he said. "I will stay here till the end of it.""No you will not," I said hastily before I could stop myself then sighed. "I mean, you shouldn't. We've discussed this already. It's not nice for you to go through this. I will stand in for you. You will only be agitated waiting here.""Don't worry about that, sister," he said with a straight face. "I am strong enough to wait. It is cowardice to leave my wife in this condition and stay in my room. Let me worry about her. That might not even be the problem. I am staying strong where her strength fails her.""But it's not even the issue of staying strong or not," I chuckled. "It's making an environment where these guys can work freely and save her. If you stand o

    - Franklin -There was a strange look on the doctor's face, not exactly strange because I could already tell what he was going to tell me was not a good news."Her pregnancy was induced," he told me. "We'd have to take out the baby to save her life.""Her life?" I was able to pick. "And what of the child?"The doctor went mute and looked away. I held his shoulder and shook him."Tell me," I half yelled."I'm afraid we might lose it," he said slowly. I let him go, my heart shredding to pieces. I cannot lose my child. No. Not after all these years. Not again."And my wife? What is the probability of her being saved?" I asked, and again, I feared his response."If I'm to be sincere with you, it's a fifty," he said. "But, I will assure you that we will do our best."I ran my hand through my hair and took deep breaths in a bit to calm myself. I was not thinking straight and I felt extremely cold.King Markus was there with me, looking and watching. There wasn't one amongst us who could com

    - Jason -I instinctively placed a hand on my stomach, waiting to feel any slight pain."Did you poison me?" I asked him. The seriousness dropped off his face, and he laughed. Morgan laughed long and hard, doubling over. He hit his fist on the table while he laughed, and I watched him, dumbfounded.He finally struggled to control the laughter with a wheezing sound, tears in his eyes."Gosh, you need to see the look on your face," he said. "I did not poison you, silly."I let out a deep breath I had not realized that I was holding."Now, why will I want to kill you and choose to do it by poisoning your food?" He asked, taking a cup of water from the table. He gulped it down and shook his head at me. "You looked so shaken. Are you that scared of death? For someone like you, poisoning is a disgraceful way to die, for even if I wanted to kill you, not that way."He laughed again."Morgan, that was not funny," I had to say."You think? You looked like a wrung chicken. You looked like your

    - Jason -I had just finished speaking with Alpha Sheka about very important matters of the pack and was about to leave when he called me back."That reminds me," he said. "I need to invite you to a banquet tonight. I was going to tell you earlier but I skipped. Also because of the matters at hand you know.""I understand alpha," I replied empathetically. "Where'd we get the invitation from now?""Oh it's not far," he said with a suspicious movement of his lips that could pass for a smile. "It's from my son.""Oh, that's interest...what!?" I was saying before my brain registered what I heard."Yes, my son, Morgan. He arranged the banquet specially made for me and you," he repeated and I still could not believe my ears."Did he say he wanted me at the banquet?" I still asked because I could not make sense out of it yet."He made a special request for you to be there. You are surprised, aren't you? Well, I am too. I hope you don't mind the banquet. I've always thought you two were...uh,

    - Jason -It took me a few seconds after I returned to my room, to notice someone was there. I turned around with a displeased frown on my face."What are you doing here, Morgan?" I asked him."It's Prince Morgan but yeah, I think I can let that slide since it's you and also seeing that you'd always stress me with having to correct you all the time," he said with a grimace."What are you doing in my room?" I sighed."I'm here to talk," he replied with a shrug. "Can't I talk to you?""What are we talking about and why in my room? Official meetings are not held in the bedroom.""That's it," he snapped his fingers. "Because this is not an official business.""I cannot tell when we began to have an unofficial relationship," I stated and he laughed."Maybe if you were paying attention more, you'd remember that I did mention it.""I don't want to be acquainted with you, Morgan," I said to his face. "I am fine the way we are.""Come on Jason, don't make this hard," he said, relaxing his back

    - Cleopatra -I eyed the greedy man and scoffed."What do you mean by this is not enough? Do you want four generations' wealth before you're okay?" I scowled at him."My lady, you know what it caused us to be able to cover up for you. And I have other people to settle and keep their mouths shut. You will have to remit more."I sighed tiredly."Okay fine. I am going to give you some more but that will be it. You must not complain nor ask me for anything after that. And you must not try to contact me because we can never be seen together. Do you understand?""Clearly," he replied."Good."I was able to handle him without anyone finding out about it, and I hoped it remained that way. Anna has promised to keep her mouth shut and only say what was agreed on if Giselle finds her, but I couldn't trust her.How could I hold her to her words? I looked into her eyes and saw the fear.
