LOGIN~MELODY~I ran my hairbrush repeatedly on my already brushed hair whispering to myself.‘This marriage will end in less than a year or more. Get your head in the game’I have been repeating these words to myself over the last half hour. Perhaps I believe that if I say it more than necessary, I might actually start believing it myself.Perhaps I would stop following the king with my eyes, watching his every move.Perhaps I would stop counting how many times he has checked on Selene.Perhaps I would stop imagining if he still loves her.I held the hair brush tightly staring at my reflection in the mirror.What is wrong with me?I signed the damn contract, I accepted his rules, I bluntly told him that I will never fall in love with him and now, even his scent gives me unimaginable butterflies.I struck myself across the face and yelled ‘Focus girl’A few minutes later I joined Lady Martha in the large library for my lessons.Yesterday’s topic was on duty, she taught me what’s expected of
~AURELIAN VOSS~(THE LYCAN KING)Today, the palace was in a celebratory mood. The ballroom has already been decorated, tables were arranged, there was wine, fruits and different delicacies.People were already trooping in their numbers to celebrate me.I didn’t want the party, but the elders insisted that we must throw one to thank the moon goddess for keeping me alive.This is the first time I have been able to come out of my chambers without my legs failing me or my eyes spinning.That poison really did a number on me, it rendered me bedridden, tortured me for days with fever, headache, body pain, dizziness and a host of others.I hate being sick because it makes everyone look at you like a pity project. Even as I was back at my feet, the ‘I’m so sorry your highness, hope are you getting better?’ kept streaming in.I won’t lie if the poison could humble me like this, I wonder what it could have done to Melody.She is a tough girl, but I doubt she can handle it.When the doctors told
~VICTOR~I had rushed back home, cleaned up, closed my eyes for a few seconds and sleep didn’t come.I sat up on my bed, threw a robe on and poured myself a glass of whiskey.It has been the longest 24 hours of my life.I almost died, I almost got the queen killed too and now the king is currently dealing with the poison designed to kill the queen.I still can’t believe the queen was the target.What could she have done to them?She was the sweetest person I have ever met, calm, down to earth, intelligent, and always minds her business.How can somebody like that be a target?Even when the king fell pale and cold as death, she was swift to get some herbs to help him stay alive.Is there anything she can’t do?She is simply amazing.She stayed with him all night, nursing him, could barely sleep, touching him almost every minute to make sure he was breathing.Last night I saw a woman that loves with her whole heart, a woman that can deny herself comfort just for her partner to be okay.
~MELODY~We all have scars that comes from our childhood or from our adulthood.For me I've got scars from both.Everybody gets to hide their scars and act like they don’t have any influence in their lives as a whole, but that's so far from the truth.Our scars will always be a part of us and it influences our progress in life.Each time I see Selene, I remember memories I thought I have forgotten.One mistake I keep making is thinking that the kings feelings for her have evaporated into thin air.No matter what happened between them, they were betrothed at one point. Those emotions will always remain forever.I lifted my eyes and saw her approaching me, my face drained of color.She had that cruel smile on her face.I frowned.What does she want again?I left her with the king as she wanted so why is she approaching me now?‘Your highness’ she said, giving me a little bow.I cleared my throat ‘Lady Selene, how can I help you?’She chuckled ‘You know you don’t have to use the whole t
~AURELIAN VOSS~(THE LYCAN KING)Most times I make terrible decisions that just comes back to hunt me.Like telling Lucien to let Selene into the room when I knew that was the worse idea ever.I ended up making the environment uncomfortable for the one person I cared about.Melody.I saw how she clenched her jaw and walked away.Her eyes met across the room before she shut the door, the look on her eyes spelt betrayal boldly but it was too late to change my decision.Maybe Selene said something to her when she pulled her into a tight hug. Knowing Selene and her silly schemes, I wouldn’t put it past her.Or it might be my own doing.I was so jealous of Victor being around her smiling and acting all clingy so I resorted to the only thing that would make him very uncomfortable and make him leave.The answer was Selene.I forgot to consider Melody and her feelings.Selene came in and of course Victor found an excuse to leave as expected.Then…..Melody left too leaving me alone with the ev
~MELODY~I noticed the anger in the king’s eyes when he discovered the cloak covering me belonged to Victor.I didn’t want to piss him off even more so I removed the cloak from my shoulders, smiled and told Alpha Victor that I wasn’t feeling cold anymore.Alpha Victor shrugged and told me to keep it.I thanked him but still dropped the cloak on one of the empty couch in the room.Different doctors have been coming in to check on him, tending to his wounds and making sure he isn’t burning up anymore.One of the doctors told the king how I saved him by administering some herbs on the scene of the incident.The king looked at me with a grateful look on his face but didn’t say anything.My mind was still in such a dazzle.Each time I close my eyes, I see that arrow coming at me then I see the king collapsing and his blood all over the floor.No matter how hard I tried to shake it out of my heart, I kept coming back.It’s safe to say that I have been seriously traumatized.Alpha Victor sto
~MELODY~“Smile, Melody,” my stepsister said softly, her voice mocking. “Tonight is a happy occasion, and I have a big surprise for you.”Then her grip tightened painfully around my wrist. I looked up at her, silently taking note of the beautiful silver gown she had on, and the diamond jewelry. T
~MELODY~“Release her.”Those words cut through the courtyard like a blade, stopping everything in its track.The guards who were holding my arms immediately froze before letting me go. It was as if everyone suddenly remembered that they wanted to stay alive.My heart pounded violently.Slowly, I
MELODY~The second I stepped out of the black sedan, I forgot how to breathe.All the pack members were standing in front of our house. Worse still, everyone was staring. Servants, guards. and pack members.My fingers trembled as I took in the shocked expression on their faces.Shit. They weren’
MELODY~As though sensing my pain, rain began to fall as I stepped out of the pack.Yet, the coldness of it all didn’t make the ache in my chest hurt any less. I walked aimlessly through the empty street, my hair and dress soaked against my skin. I wasn’t sure where I was going, but I knew I coul
