"I don't think I love you Alaric, you've brought nothing but sadness to me" I spat as tears started to flow down my cheeks like a waterfall.
"Don't say that Lenora, I know you're talking from a place of hurt right now.."
"Maybe I'm talking from a place of hurt right now but I mean every word I'm saying Alaric. I don't think I love you and I don't think this will ever work out. I'm sorry " I said and stood up from the bed. I might as well need to get some fresh air outside and get my mind off things.
I felt something strange in me,
"You bastard!" My beast was too loud to have growled at him that I couldn't control it. The moment those words left my mouth, i was left stunned as I knew I had just ruined my efforts and brought large consequences on myself."What did you just say, son?" He questioned in a fierce low tone and I knew he was madly upset. I was also stunned, I hadn't expected those words to leave my mouth yet i just couldn't control myself the moment he insulted Lenora, my beast couldn't.I knew I was keeping him waiting by not saying anything, but I had no clue on what to say that would cover up for the insult. Not only were my plans doomed but I could also be doomed as he wouldn't think twice to kill me like the rest of my brothers."I expect an answer from you, son!" His voice came out really fierce as i could feel sweat
LENORA'S POVDiane had sat beside my bed all through the time as she constantly checked up on me, she had a worried look on her face as she mixed different medicines for me.They all claimed I had been poisoning myself for a long time while I can't relate with what they all say. I was fully conscious when I heard the king announcing the last fight being today by 5pm and when I heard my whole body went numb as a part of me felt like I had already lost Alaric for good and worst of all I lost him to Tala.Sometimes I wish he could do something about this but I keep forgetting that Adolph was the ruler and king of all paranormal creatures and there was no way Alaric would stand a chance against him. The only true option was to perform the werewolf ritual and fight."I'll make sure to give you some special family potion, it works well but in your current condition it might have some bad side effects that
On realising the truth, I rushed towards the kitchen,it was busy and it took a while for me to realise that it was busy because of tonight's event.The king had planned everything on his own and concluded on me marking Tala today but that will never happen, the food would probably be for the midnight feast afterwards but too bad for him the whole food would be fed to the street dogs because there won't be any celebration of me marking Tala tonight.They all noticed my presence and stopped what they were doing as they bowed to me while I scanned the room but realised that was pointless as I had no idea who the head chef was.
JENNY'S POV"What the hell do you think you're doing?" The kitchen door barged open as I saw the least person I was expecting. It was Josh and he seemed to have overheard my conversation with Clara as there was obvious anger in his eyes.I understand he loves the prince and is only being loyal to him but I feared he might rat me out since he loves the prince almost more than he loves his life."Nothing, just taking the food to Lenora " I casually replied in an attempt to play it off in case he didn't hear anything."Stop with your pretense, I know you've put something in her food, I saw you and you're working with her mother?" He spat in disgust and I knew I was done for.He was going to report me to the prin
Things were never the same between us anymore after that incident as I could always feel the tension between us whenever we happened to be in the same room while I secretly hoped that Alaric wouldn't notice us.We've constantly met at silent corners and made out even though it was a quickie but all of these happened so fast in a short time. Our bodies became irresistible to ourselves but it'll all be for the time being.Lenora doesn't have much life left to live and once she dies, the Prince will finally have to acknowledge me then I'll have to kiss Josh goodbye.
LENORA'S POV "Order from the King, every wolf should be present in the battleground, the battle starts in 10 minutes. It's the final battle and the day the prince marks his partner!" The King's guard announced yet again but my mind was way far from what he was saying. "Do you think you can handle this?" Alaric asked amidst his anger, I could sense his anger but he was trying his best to contain it. "Yeah.." I replied faintly as he walked me into my room. I wasn't feeling like myself as my mind was
This couldn't be happening, this was unfair, the king was being unfair. Tala had also caused injuries to me but he never paid attention to that and just this once I managed to have the upper hand, he was still going to be on Tala's side and everything seemed like he had made up his mind right from the start."This isn't fair Father!" Alaric spoke up in a raised rone as he stood up and pointed his finger to the King, the queen wasn't happy about his decision either as she abandoned Tala on the floor with her eyes fixed on the King as she stared at him in disbelief."I have made my final decision!" The king repeated as I completely broke down. He could not
"Lenora!" I yelled her name while trying my best to make her open her eyes. The blade hadn't done any damage to her skin yet she wasn't opening her eyes.Perhaps she passed out from panicking or the shock that came with the realisation that she was close to death.Diane came closer to where I was standing as she offered to help Lenora. On releasing lenora to her, my rage resurfaced.I couldn't believe my father almost took Lenora away from me like he had been taking the people I loved away from me. I definitely won't let him get away with this."That was the height of it Adolph!" I growled and reached to hit him, I wasn't attempting to just hit him but to let him pay for everything he had caused even if it meant killing him.&nb
