Myra POV.
"I can't believe how much I love you," he says looking me in the eyes, he sounded honest, he couldn't lie, I know that he won't lie to me even if he could, but I'll lie to him, I lie every time I need to, I'm not bounded to say the truth like he did.
"I love you too," I say with a smile on my face, I wasn't lying, it was the truth, I do really love him, and not just for all the powers I see he has, I love him for being him, my prince charming."I'm going to bring you with me," he says, he promises me again, we've been together for over ten years, we're two lovers, we're two souls that found each other, I believed that there's no real love, that until I met him, he's my real thing.
Long blond hair that fell down to his shoulder as soft as silk, green eyes that also had some hazel in them, and even his face was perfect with long eyelashes, defined cupids arrow with pale pink lips, he's taller than me, he keeps looking down at me, making me feel so delicate and small."Caspian, you know better," I say with a sigh, it wasn't a lit again, for some reason I don't lie around him, even when I could lie, I don't lie to him, we're both very honest to each other.
"I know, but why not, I'm their prince, they need to respect my decision," Caspian says and I groaned.Caspian is the prince of the fey, he belongs to their kingdom, to their realm, he's dressed like a prince, wearing his armour, standing tall and proud, he has a sword on his side, he looks out of the fairytales, the perfect soldier, a general, a prince, and he's all mine.
"If they don't respect your decision if they try to hurt you? Or me?" I ask him, it's not just me, I have a son I need to think of and take care of. "We have honour, Myra! No one would dare to hurt you, they'd try to fight me and I'll kick their butts for it," he says with a chuckle, he's one of the strongest fey I have ever met, not that I have met a lot of them."I believe you Caspian," I assured him, I did believe him, we've spent way too long together not to have built some kind of trust.
"I know you do, although you may say lies, you are honest to me," he says talking like a fey all over again, he has two kinds of talking, this one the fey talk, and the one he does when he's just around me, he loves the human talk and he likes talking like them, but talking like that around the fey would make fun of him or call him a hypocrite."I'm a great liar, Caspian, I lie the whole day," I say with a big smile on my face, which was a lie on its own.
"I know, how's the little one?" he asks, asking me about Oliver my son, he's home with his werewolf babysitter, she sees him as her pup, and she'd burn the whole world to keep him safe, even if it includes biting my ass for scolding my son."He's fine, he has Luna wrapped around his little finger," I say with a chuckle.
"Tell him next time I'm around, we'll spare together," he says with a smile, he's teaching my son how to use a sword, it's very costumery for fey, but since we're witches we use our magic to keep ourselves safe, but I wasn't going to stand in the way of the two bonding. Oliver's father died and he never had the chance to meet him, instead, all he got is Caspian as his father figure, Olli is now twelve years old, but he's still a child in our world, and he needs a lot of protection and care still."You're leaving?" I ask him, he can't stay in my lands for long, he got permission to be in the witch's land since I'm the one in charge of our coven, but other witches are worried and scared of his presence, most try to avoid him, to chase him off or maybe get him to fight them.
"You know I have to," he says making me pout, I might be an old witch, one with her own kid, but every time I see him, I'm acting like a young witch who's falling in love for the first time all over again.Did it even count as love that I had with Olli's father, he was my first crush and my first love, but was that even love? I don't know, he knocked me up and ditched us, and I was left alone with Olli, it's not that I was young, but I was busy becoming powerful and strong before I even thought about having kids, or falling in love with anyone.
"When will I see you again?" I ask him like a lost little girl who's losing her love. "I'll be back when I can, my lady," he says kissing my hand, he always does that, kiss the top of my hand, making my heart melt."Bye," I say looking at him leave, sometimes he'll leave for a small period of time, maybe just a day or two, but others he'll leave me and Olli for weeks and months, every time I feel like it's going to be the last time, this time he's gone forever, this time he's not coming back, this time he picked his people over us.
I went back home to meet with my son, Luna a wolf that I helped during one of her bad times, she was stranded during a full moon and crossed to the vampire's land, and as a thank you for saving her life, she babysit for me."Luna you can leave," I say walking inside my home with a sigh, I didn't like it when he leaves, the day he goes makes my heart feel empty and hollow on the inside.
"Leave, Madame you don't look well, how about I stay and make you dinner?" she offers, I wasn't hungry but Olli had to eat. "That would be great Luna, make sure he eats and takes a shower," I say and walk toward my room, I lock myself in, I want to cry so badly, but Madame Witch can't cry, Madame Myra can't cry, crying isn't meant for me, I'm too strong to be crying.I sat in bed and looked up at the ceiling, this time, I felt different than before, this time I had a feeling he was not coming back to me, maybe this time was the one that he really leaves me and never comes back to me, his people are getting him this time.
My night was terrible, as they are when he's not around, but my morning was even worse, I woke up feeling sick, and there was a very awful smell in my nose.I ran toward the bathroom and threw up everything that was in my stomach, sadness has never affected my stomach before, but I never had the feeling that he'll be gone forever like today.
I washed my mouth, wahsed my face and looked at me in the mirror, I looked like shit, I looked like I have lost him.Angry at myself, I use a little bit of magic to put a full face of make up, it was enough to take off the paleness of my face but not even magic can hide the sadness in my eyes, I looked miserable with a good face of make up.
"Good morning, Mother," Oliver says when he sees me coming in, he's young but would speak as an adult, the results of being raised only by adults and having no kids to play along with."Good morning Kiddo," I say reminding him that he's still a child.
"Did you sleep well?" I ask him, if I was a normal witch Olli would still be counted as a small child who needs his mother's full attention, but this is Oliver, and he's his mother son, we never ask for extra love nor attention."I did, and have you mother? You don't look well," he says and I groaned I can't even foul my own son how else would anyone believe that I'm fine.
"I'm fine Oliver," I say in a firm voice and rummage through the kitchen to make him breakfast, I don't like using magic while taking care of him, he deserves to have a real mother in here with him.I cracked the eggs and they felt weird, when they hit the pan they smelled bad to me, really bad, unable to hold myself back, I vomited in the sink. I washed quickly and told Olli we're going to need to get new eggs from the store these must have gotten old.
"I can fix myself a bowl of cereal," Oliver offers.
"Please," I answer him letting him make his own breakfast, I tried to drink my regular coffee but it tasted burned, I tried to have some orange juice but it tasted bitter. Either someone has spelt my kitchen into having uneatable food or something was wrong with me.I scanned the air for any kind of spells but found none, the chance of having rotten food was also low, which only left one choice for me. I ran to my bathroom and looked through my drawers for a thing I had bought from the human shops, last time I needed one was when we had a threesome with a wolf.
I took the test out of its package and quickly read the instructions, I had to sit and wait for three whole minutes before the results were there, I could use my magic to make it faster but I worried it would mess with the results. When the time finally passed, I was too worried about looking, but I had to look, to be sure this wasn't what I had in mind, but having another kid doesn't sound too bad, especially if Caspian was that kid's father.
'On the count of three Myra, you can do it,' I encourage myself and look, two strips, it's real, it's done, I am pregnant, should I be happy or worried, I was thinking about it, but then decided, this baby was the best thing that ever happened to me after Olli, when Caspian comes by, he'll be thrilled to know it.
The thing with dating the Prince of Fey is that he's a gentleman who can't lie to me, so if you're lousy in bed, good luck with your ego, he's beautiful, kind and the dream of any girl. Caspian is the best kind of father figure you'd ever meet, he's the one who taught Olli how to be a gentleman, if this baby is a boy then I'll have two princes on hand, and if she's a princess, then god helps anyone who dares get near her.
He usually takes some time to get back to me, to us, sometimes it's just a week or two, others it's longer like a month or two, but Caspian has never in the last ten years left me for nine whole months, there's no way he knew about the pregnancy, only Olli and Luna knew about it, and they are both loyal to me, and I never told anyone else about the pregnancy and no one saw me out."I worry Luna," I say, she's the only friend I trust, even my closest friends I couldn't tell about my pregnancy, I worried the word would be out, that Madame Witch is now weak, that it's time to try and attack her, but they didn't know that even if I'm pregnant, I can still beat them up.
"About what Madame?" Luna asks me, looking at my stomach with a look filled with love and worry, she adores this child, and it's not even been born yet. "About Caspian, that he might have left us," I say wiping my tears, stupid pregnancy making me too emotional, I'm almost there, once I give birth, I'm going to search for him and tell him he has a daughter now, I'm going to call her 'Charlotte'.Charlotte POV. "Mom, my magic," I cried out to her, it's been four days and my magic was still gone, locked inside of me, refusing to come out, we have tried more than one spell, but all of them have left me hurt, injured, one of them almost killed me. "I know Charlotte, I'm trying," Mom says her eyes locked on her book, reading about magic being bounded, but I guessed the books didn't have the solution to my dilemma. "Mom, maybe she should be going to the fey realm," Olli suggests. "No, I'm not sending my daughter without the ability to defend herself," Mom says. "Mom, if I go there, I can talk to Tristan, or Uncle can help me, someone can help me," I said. "No, the queen still got it out for you," Mom objects. "Mom the queen is on trial, she can't touch me, and helping me would be on her side and not mine," I say to mom. "You can not go there Charlotte, don't even think about it," Mom objects again. "Mom, it's my magic we're talking about, we can't just do nothing, stay her
Cassius POV. I have passed from my realm, the one I'm used to, the one where I have some power, toward the fey realm, the only ones who have power over there are the fey and I had no power there, I have no connection, and I had no claims. I passed through a secret door, I didn't travel like the rest of the fey, the second they find me, or discover I have passed their border they will kill me or worse, it's said that death is mercy in the fey land.I didn't have anyone along with me, and I didn't want to ask anyone to put themselves in the way of danger the same way as me, people were loyal to me, but only I was loyal to Charlotte and had the urge to go save her, the rest didn't really care about the girl I'm dating. The fey land was similar to ours, it's made of trees and forest, the only difference is that the trees in the fey land would try to kill you, the birds would report back to their lords, and the ground would swallow and never let you go.I had no idea where to go, I didn
Cassius POV. I messaged I called, I was going insane, I had no idea where she was or why she stopped answering me, my princess, although I had no idea what kind of princess she was, and she said something about her mama dying, but she's the daughter of Myra, maybe she has another mother? I wanted to talk to her, I wanted to know what she was hiding from me, I thought we were moving forward in our relationship, and I thought we were going places, but I was left standing in front of a fey door, humiliated and told that my girlfriend has no boyfriend. So I called her again, but her phone went from missed calls and not answering me, to being out of service, I don't get what happened, we were okay last night, she was mad at her family, and then we had drinks, I didn't touch or hurt her, I made sure not to do anything that might offend her, drunk or not, no one wants to be offended by their said boyfriend. "Sir, you have visitors," Eve informs me. "And who might that be?" I ask her wit
Charlotte POV. "Your ribs are broken, your shoulder is dislocated, you are very dehydrated, and we're worried about a concussion," the doctor tells both me and my brother, the great news, but no news about my magic or what's going on with it. "What about my magic?" I groaned. "Excuse me?" the doctor says, he's just a human doctor, he won't be helping with my magic even if he tried to. "She meant her charm, will she be okay?" Oliver asks, trying to hide my question about my magic. "The ribs need a lot of rest, she'll feel fine soon, we have fixed her shoulder which too needs some rest, and for the dehydration, the IV has taken care of it," the doctor says trying to assure us that I'll be okay, but none of those mattered for me, what about my magic, my bones can heal they won't even take long to get better but my magic, I can't survive without it. "What about the concussion?" Olli asks him, I didn't feel like I had one, I don't even remember hitting my head, when did that happen?
Charlotte POV. "Girls," Oliver says opening the cab door, we have made it out alive, they have slowed down when we were near leaving their territory and land. "Olli," we both yelled running toward him, and hugging him tight, we were both terrified. "You shouldn't have sent her alone, she's just a child," I scold him, the bird was very young, even for a shifter, she's a baby. "I couldn't go in, this is a rescue mission, she did good," Oliver says holding her tight. "Yeah, if you say so," I say with a shrug, why was I so worried about them, they could deal with each other, I decided to get in Olli's car and wait for him to drive us home. "You're too far away from home," Olli says. "How far I am?" I ask him, finally laying back, my ribs were on fire. "You're on the Canadian border," he says and I look at him with wide eyes, we're so far away. "Wow," I say, and that was my only comment about the whole topic. "Are you okay Charlotte?" Owl asks from behind me, she must have notice
Charlotte POV. "Come on Mom, call, call," I whisper to myself, I'm eating my food, trying to gain my strength back while I have my eyes locked on the phone, when will she call?"We can go to my place, if the phone rings, we'll hear it," she says but I shook my head no, I wasn't going to risk it, what if she called and I didn't hear it?"We can stay here for a bit more," I say sipping my coffee, her mother was giving me side glares and side looks, and I pretended not to see them. "We need to leave, we need to leave, come on," Honey says all of a sudden standing up, standing in front of me hiding me with her small body. "Huh?" I say confused, who did walk in, why is she trying to hide me from them?"What are you doing here runt?" I heard a guy say, talking with Honey, towering over her. "I'm here to eat, mom said I can come to eat," Honey says, standing up to herself, trying to keep me hidden and I made sure to keep myself hidden, she's not that tall or large to help me hide, but I
