"When I arrived at the palace, there were so many guards at the gate, staff all around and even at the castle where the king and queen reside but I got past them." I began. Eva's eyes fixed steadily to me like she was the accuser in court paying attention to the verdict of the judge which was me in this case."So how did you get past them?" She asked with a frightening gaze and her face shaking in terror."What do you mean?" I joked. "Do you play with me?" She smiled."I know you're a shifter but like, come on, tell me how you did that." Eva urged."Whatever!" I gestured with my hands and burst out into laughter. "You haven't really told me anything." I knew she wanted to discover how I passed through the heavily secured residence of the king and queen without being obstructed by the security personnel who are permitted to let only those with passes in. She was earnest to know this."Well, you seem too curious." I decided to place Eva in a little suspense before I told her what happ
I retired to my bed after a while. I need to have a nap before evening. I've decided to go out with Eva. It's quite okay for me to celebrate her decision to join with me in fighting this course. It's not an easy one, so celebrating someone that has agreed to walk with you through the good and dark times is a great deal.Sleep always proves a great refreshment to my body and spirit, I felt quite relaxed and bubbling with energy after I awoke. It's 3 PM and too early to get up from my bed, especially as I have nothing to do at the moment. While on my bed, my mind framed thoughts of Douglas. Though covered with sorrows and a mournful look, he is still a charming prince with his charming blue eyes and shiny black curly hair. His muscular stature makes him the dream of every girl, I think it's even affecting me quite well even though I'm not like every ordinary girl. The clock seemed to be ticking away into the time I had planned for. Few hours had passed after I spent time with Eva. She
I wondered why the thought or sight of Douglas shot electricity through my spines. It has come way too much often in me that I have to remind myself of my original status and mission. "Well, you know I'm not here to crush on him but I have my own feelings towards him.""I knew you've something cooking up in your mind towards that handsome prince." Eva teased, rolling her eyes."Shhhh!" I gestured with my index finger placed across my lips. "Who tells you that?" "I know that." Her voice was so confident even though she was smiling sweetly like I had achieved a fortune she really admired and cherished, even more than myself. "Eva, I'm here to help Douglas out of the prison and nothing more. Don't you pity seeing your prince and the rightful king in prison, that you're here talking about love?" Eva seemed not to be bothered by my statement, the mindset that I was crushing on the prince had so soaked her mind to ponder on reality. I wasn't into Douglas that way, the way she thought al
I was busy straining my head and eyes, trying to figure out who it was that Eva was referring to. By the way she looked in that direction, I suspected it was no joke. But what would Douglas be doing here when he was imprisoned?The sound of my phone notification draws my attention from the direction I was looking. Avelyn Cian appears on top of my screen, she was the Chief of Staff at my foundation. It must be something really serious. I opened the message body to see the greatest shock of my life."Ahhhh!" I exclaimed with my eyes and mouth very wide apart. No one must have noticed except Eva sitted opposite me. A popular music played at the moment and people's attention was directed towards it. They swayed their bodies according to the rhythm.In the picture she sent, Douglas was lying bandaged at various parts of his body. "He was severely beaten by the guards upon the order of Queen Pandora as she came to visit." I wept as I read Avelyn's statement. What did Douglas do to deserve a
The vile creatures snarled and dashed towards us, on top of the car. With my power I made Eva strong and fearless, so she'd be able to handle these creatures. The battle started and I was merciless at slaying these evil creatures who were sent to assassinate us. Perhaps Pandora knew I was gonna come visit Douglas. No! She doesn't have the power to monitor my every step any more. I had seized such power from her but that didn't mean she couldn't spy on others spiritually. She must have detected Avelyn or her mate who informed her of this. Whatever, it was from another person, not me. She got to know this from another shifter.Before, witches and vampires weren't in the wolf world. Being the greatest enemies of our species, they stayed far away, perhaps in their own territory but after Pandora assumed the position of the luna queen, things changed. Imagine how witches and vampires, hybrids, would possess the courage to not only come within the territories of the werewolves but attempt
Once outside I prayed silently in me that we would not come in contact with anything that would delay our journey to the hospital. Not like I was afraid of any creature or something but I just wanted to rush Douglas as fast as I could to the hospital three kilometers away. I covered Douglas with a coat, he lay at the back resting on Eva's laps. I assigned her to take care of him as I drove although he was unconscious. I didn't really know what was happening to him right now, his medical state. "Is he breathing?" I asked Eva with a confused voice. "No, he isn't." My heart grew more panicky. For some time now I didn't know Eva was crying silently behind. Horror greater than that from the sight of demons, dragons and great evil powers sparked inside me and ran across my spine.The white light from a distance signaled Annah Merson Memorial Hospital. It's named after one of the greatest female medical doctors from Vienna. She lived a great, outstanding life and left a unique legacy. For
The doctor dressed in his white coat on top of his main clothes and a stethoscope hung over his beck walked majestically towards us with a worried but serious look on his face. I sensed disaster. With every step he took, my eyes were constantly watching him."Hello!" He waved his hand coldly, by the look on his face, I felt something not so good was about to happen or had already happened. "He's not responding to treatment," my heart dropped when he said this. Eva got so down and weakened. Sure, Pandora was gonna laugh at us. This' what she's been wishing for ever since Douglas entered into this prison life.Something marveled me in the midst of my sorrows, no one recognized Douglas as the prince, me neither. I was stunned. Everyone would rise up and bow low before Pandora if she was the one that came here. I smirked.Remembering what the doctor said, tears flowed from my eyes, down my face. "Is he alive?" I managed to ask. "I can't say that for now, more information will be communic
I walked on the wings of the celestial realm to my palace, the grand palace of the moon goddess. For the meantime, I was back. The golden sunlight shining on the moon greets me, it looks like when I left. Nothing seemed to change about the moon until I gazed into the horizon, towards the north and south poles. They were covered in slight darkness which seemed to be spreading slowly over other areas."This' what Lucinda must have implied!" I said to myself, now walking on the gold corridor of my castle. No one must have noticed my homecoming but I think Lucinda must have gone to do her job, she's not by my side now. When I arrived at the entrance of the castle, the chief celestial guard was at the side to welcome me. He bowed low and paid homage to me, I placed my golden staff on his back without a word, I had accepted his greetings though I said nothing. My subjects were all present inside to give me a glorious welcome. On a normal occasion, I would stop over to address them and say
