The golden rays of the sun woke me up, and I sprang up immediately. It's late, I had desired to wake up at 5 AM and prepare. Before the sun showed up like this, it would be between 7 AM to 8 AM. I was as good as I thought, it's 8:05 AM. I gasped with my eyes wide open. I didn't realize that Douglas was watching me all this while. "Good morning my lady," the sweet voice caught me from my drama. I turned my head, there he was lying on the bed with his dreamy blue eyes watching me like I was a cinema movie. I smiled with a little shyness over me."Good morning prince," for the first time I was inclined to address him as this. He blushed in great excitement. "Do you care for a morning kiss?" He asked and I got more puzzled. Where is Douglas driving to, does he really mean all this nice attitude or he's just pretending to get what he wants? Despite the fact that I had the capability to distinguish when one is lying and when the truth is said, the emotions from this new character of his m
I packed a few of my clothing which I'll need for my stay at the capital city, that's what the location of the famous palace of the wolf royalties is called. This location also hosts the wolf council, which is the shifter's court. After my meeting with Pandora concerning the court case, I would most likely meet the king too although he doesn't have any say especially now that Pandora has taken administration of the whole kingdom. He's something you might describe as a weakling husband who keeps quiet even when his wife does something wrong, he can't speak up as the king.Pandora is the head of the royal house, family and kingdom, in the actual sense, King Morris is just bearing a name. She's the one I have to meet in this case. Happy that Douglas has agreed to accompany me, I really need him."You have to pack your clothing…" I was cut short of my words, as he snapped."I don't have anything except this cloth I'm putting on." Pity overwhelmed me, I felt really bad for Douglas. This' n
"What brought you here?" I asked the handsome young prisoner sitting on the ground of the royal dungeon. He sobs, unable to look at my face, his hand covering his eyes. "I didn't do anything. I told my father his reign was over as he had ruled over sixty years…" He breaks down again. "How many years have you been here?" "This' three years now." I couldn't control my tears, I wept for this lovely guy, he was so handsome to be in prison especially as he did no wrong. He said his father had ruled for more than sixty years, and still refused to hand over rulership to him. Sixty years was the permitted tenure for all wolf kings, I knew his father personally. He was such a good king till his Luna died and he married a second wife. Pandora is a hybrid, one thousand years old. I wondered what would've attracted him to a witch and vampire aside from her striking beauty. She is a cold, evil and wicked creature who has made life miserable for the werewolves for over three decades. "Would y
"Go to your office and wait for me." I gestured to three of my companions when the car pulled up in front of the big glass house of my foundation 'HPP'. It is interpreted to mean Help for Persons in Prison. They were shocked contemplating what I was up to as they stared at me with wide eyes. "Do as I say!" I repeated and they hurried off towards the building but one remained staring at me in fear and surprise. "What are you up to, Your Majesty?" Eva, one of my staff asked. She was the only one I was really close to, I treated her as a friend and sister but others I treated for who they were, my staff. Familiarity I felt would diminish my respect. "I need to go see the queen now." "Why?" She asked, her gaze laced with terror and mouth open. "Eva I need to do this," I said with firmness. "You're putting yourself at great risk, the queen can hurt you. Even if she may not be able to harm you physically, she can do that otherwise. You know she has evil powers. She is a hybrid but yo
**Three years ago** The sun is already shining on the horizon. I get out of my bed with my fairy mates all around me, each doing their duty. I moved over to the window, pulled aside the golden curtains and peered through the window. It was almost dawn. The birds are chipping, some are flying in groups under the sky as I watch from above. I think, they're journeying to go get breakfast. In my celestial home, and as the moon goddess I could watch everything that is going on in the world. I observed one thing, my children, the werewolves are encountering a lot of challenges in the hands of their new queen, Pandora. "Hey, come here Lucinda." I waved to her and in a twinkle of an eye, she came close by, standing at my side. "Look!" I pointed, she obeyed. We could clearly see the world from our celestial habitat. The palace of the great king, the king of the werewolves was our focus. "Your Majesty, this is so bad. You've to do something about this." "We have to do something about this
Douglas POV I get in to be with my dad, the king in his royal chambers, the part he entertained visitors. Even though I'm his son, I had to keep with the protocol. He had instructed me to dress corporately each time I came to see him and that, I did. Thank goodness, the queen wasn't around, I could have a heart-to-heart conversation with my dad without worrying about avoiding words that could hurt her. I wondered where the queen had gone to and why. It was unusual for her not to be beside the king. Pandora was always with the king, if not convincing him to agree to her sinister plans, she would be scolding him if he didn't do what she asked. She was a devil in human nature. "Why do you keep asking to be king, why don't you let me rule my subjects in peace?" "Dad, you've already ruled for over sixty-years, it's due for you to transfer the mantle of leadership to me. I'm of age or don't you want me to be king?" He gave me a suspicious look, I'd have been afraid if not that he was
When the prince fell, Pandora gestured to the guards to get him up. She felt that he was pretending to be sick because of what was happening. "Get him up quickly," she commanded in her thick, fiery voice, her bloodshot eyes darkened. One of the guards struck Douglas a blow right in the face when they pulled him up to rise up but he didn't. Lucinda, my PA hid her face in shame and horror. It was a sickening sight, tears escaped my eyes. "What're we gonna do about this?" I asked her but she was so affected by what was happening to look at my face or even answer me. I wrapped my hand around her shoulders in comfort. "Don't worry, everything will be fine. I'll do something about this!" I tried to comfort her with these soothing words. A swollen spot appeared where Douglas was struck. He was truly unconscious. "Call the pack doctor to come drive him to consciousness, I want to see as his beloved is done away with." A loud sinister laugh followed, my eyes turned golden. I was truly annoye
DOUGLAS POVMy heart is broken as the guards lead me out of luxury, my rights as the wolf prince and privileges of a future king to the dungeon as Pandora ordered. I have no say in this case and I don't know what would happen to my love, Nancy. She's my world, life and everything. I don't know if I would ever get to see her again. Now my world comes crumbling, would it ever bounce back?Today I had woken up to a bright day, hoping to be successful in my quest when I got to meet my father, little did I know that I'd be in such a condition. A tear stream down my face and I quickly wiped it off with the back of my palms.The guards lead me to their hilux van at the edge of the lane that leads from the castle to the field. One of them is already opening the back door for me to get in. Few hours ago, I was the respected prince, but now a cared-less-about prisoner with a bleak future. This might be the last time I'll ever set my eyes on this beautiful place I'd always called home even afte
