Everest.The sound of the loud bell woke me up. I robbed my eyes, getting up the bed, I was about to get off. My heart almost came out of my chest, “You startled me,” I said trying to catch my breath. Adrienne giggled, “I feel so good, scaring the shit out of you.” She said happily. I couldn't help but chuckle, seeing how happy she was, made me helpless, I couldn't get angry at her. “Good morning,” I greeted with a smile.” “Good morning, “Adrienne replied. Since she had achieved her aim she returned back to what she was doing. Using the ladder at the other end of the bunk, I supported my weight as I dressed my bed making it neat and tidy. With that being done, I got off the bunk. Our room was spacious enough but I was limited to most things all because of Alice. She had set the boundaries she didn't want me to cross. I had to adhere to them because I didn't want any problems. I just remembered what had happened yesterday, how I was avoiding Alice in Adrienne's absence. She had o
Everest I looked at Adrienne and she met my eyes with a smile. “You can do this,” she said, giving me a thumbs up. Yes I can but the question right now is, do I really want to?“The second rule, when the timer is over. You are to head to the kitchen, a map having Its direction is hidden in one of the main ingredients. There would be no bypass of this formation. After this I would be available for the next set of rules and instructions. You can now start.” Mister Roland announced. The whole hall became so noisy, everyone was searching their chart looking for the list of ingredients. Pushing my chart I head towards the supermarket, thanks to the stranger I knew exactly where it was located. I didn't need a map.Just walking a bit further I fell on my face, using my hands I placed it around my belly protecting my child. Alice had intentionally caused the fall, raising my head upwards, I glared angrily at her, she gave me a sinister smile. “And where the hell are you going to?” She ques
FinnI was supposed to be with her at this moment but something in me felt she could handle this very well on her own. I have done my best to help her out, now I hoped her skill would set in and pay off. My Father had complained that I was delaying the whole process , eviction was supposed to be ongoing. Now that I have set the rules to get favors, I have nothing to worry about. “Prince Finn, everything you commanded is ready.” My personal guard announced. I smiled wickedly, “Send the message to the old man, he knows where to meet me.” I commanded.I placed my foot on the stirrup, and got on the seat on the saddle. I rode my horses to the special spot awaiting the old man. “Your welcome Dad,” I said with a sinister smile. He furrowed his brows in anger, “Why did you bring me out here?” He asked.I smirked, “I had a lot of questions I wanted to ask you but because of mom I couldn't ask you about it over dinner.” I replied.He was silent, sure enough he knew this. “Speak!” He command
Everest.A day passed and I felt strange, I didn't encounter the stranger yesterday. And something in me felt so sad. I would have thanked him for his help, he had taken me around that day and it really helped. Today was the day when the results of yesterday's test would be announced. I felt so sad at the moment, because some contestants would be evicted from the Academy. I woke up early as usual and took my bath. But no matter how fast I was, I couldn't beat Adrienne. She was always up so early before anyone, I wondered if she did get a good amount of sleep. We both head to the canteen for breakfast and then to the Auditorium. It was normal for everyone to see us together, no one was making a fuss about it again, or couldn't it be the anxiety attached to the announcement of results? The whole hall was quiet as we waited for the king’s aide. This felt like an admission process into Highschool, since he had stated that it was a test and not a competition. Mister Roland walked into t
Everest Adrienne made her way gracefully to the stage, she collected her gift which was just the same as mine. I felt so happy seeing her win. When it came to Adrienne, I didn't see her as a competitor, I saw her as a true friend, I would always be happy when she wins. He did the same for the remaining set and before we knew it, it was almost time for lunch. “Classes would commence fully by tomorrow, you would be taught all there is to know. All the Textbooks and notebooks needed for your studies have been placed in your individual lockers. The time table would be placed in the notice board, so it's good to check them.” He instructed, we all gave an affirmative nod. This was more like my days in highschool, everyone here should be used to the system. I had expected that after all they would have to select the best for the princes, so Luna had to be skilled in every aspect. But was this my purpose? Was this really for me? I couldn't help but wonder. Something in me felt I belonged
Chapter 22Everest I sat in the class listening to the teacher's lecture on Geometry. Just the diagrams and calculations made my head hurt. I was here to contest for the position of a Luna not a mathematician. I placed my head lazily on my palm as I stared at the strange writings on the chalkboard. The teacher moved around the class,“You all have to be familiar with the shapes and sizes of things so as to identify them. For example, you need to know the clear difference of a Rectangle from a square and also a Circle from an Oval shape. All you need to know are the formulas which can be used to calculate its Area.” I looked him in the eyes as I let out a yawn of boredom. It seems this caught his attention, he looked towards my direction heading towards my seat. “Miss Everest, you seem uninterested in what I'm teaching.” I sat upright, my eyes glued to the board. “No, I'm listening. It's just that I find it difficult to understand it. It's so confusing,” I admitted. I knew It was a
Chapter 23Finn The rogue let out a scornful laughter, “You can kill me but trust me, we are all around you and you wouldn't see us coming. Even when I die, I would die happily knowing that there are more of us from where I came from. And trust me, we won't rest until we kill all of you.” He said.I scoffed, “This means only one thing, you have given me the answers I need. “ With a smile, I walked out of the dark room. This meant only one thing, they had spies which had been with us right from time.“Master, what's your order?” My personal guard asked as behind me. “I didn't get the full details on how Thorax was killed but I found out something more interesting. I would have to pay the old man a visit,”“What's your command about him?” He asked. I turned around the building, smiling wickedly. “Release him,” I commanded.“Huh?” He said, sounding shocked and confused. I chuckled, “You heard me very clearly, I have tortured him enough, let him go.” I commanded, saddled up and rode away
Chapter 24Everest.I stood there trying to hold my breath, “I don’t know what you are talking about.” I sounded defensive, looking at me she smirked. “Really? Is that the case? You would know what I’m talking about soon enough, I would have to explain myself to you.” she walked around me in a circle, “But…I would let it slide.”Beta Stephanie moved away without having to complete her statement. My heartbeat accelerated, as fear engulfed me. Could it be that she had sensed something? How good was her wolf sense that she could even hear my heartbeat and that of my child? Could it be that she could even listen to my thoughts anyways, that was impossible. Since she didn’t want to talk about it, it was better to shove it off. Any more argument would get me into trouble.“Now that I know you are wolfless, what’s the use of training you?” she asked. Her words made me feel useless at the moment. I had no words in response, so it was better to keep mute.After a while, she turned around walki
