JoyeTraffic was a bit heavy, but after an hour of driving we finally arrived at our destination, the royal mansion. My blood boiled with eagerness, but my ethics as Queen presided over the puerile requests of my mind and body. I wanted to leap into the air for joy, but instead I walked out of the car in the most elegant manner. I had expected Kaelan to be outside waiting for me on my return, but that hadn't been the case. I figured he must be easy, and that might explain why Aiden had come to pick me up instead of him. "Thank you." I said to Aiden as we both walked through the main door of the building. "I am only doing my job, my lady." Came a very formal reply. I didn't want to argue with Aiden at this point, it was obvious he would never address me informally no matter what. Instead, I stole the opportunity to ask him of how Kaelan was doing. Not seeing him immediately I alighted had me worried. Although it was a stupid reason to be worried, I still found myself troubled. "How
JoyeIt's been a week since I returned from the Nithercott mansion, and I couldn't say things were particularly fine. Although Kaelan wasn't constantly trying to drown himself in alcohol, his mood wasn't especially the brightest. He still complained of his constantly reoccurring nightmares, and it had not been helping matters in the slightest of ways. He kept his distance these days, with the fear that he was losing his mind and might actually hurt me if he didn't give me some space. I found that hypothesis ludicrous, but Kaelan did what he wanted regardless. According to him, he would disobey me if it meant that I was safe in the long run. We didn't share bedrooms anymore and rarely had long meaningful conversations. Aiden wasn't helping matters either. Although I could see that he wanted to help me in any way that he could, he wasn't able to disobey Kaelan or even do anything that might chip the walls of their friendship. I came to accept that it wasn't his fault, and made peace w
Joye It was a sunny morning which was rather a rare sight during this time of the season. The illuminating rays from the smiling sun stabbed through my closed eyelids and had me turning over to the opposite side of the window. It was morning and way past my wake-up time, but today, I just felt extra lazy. My bones felt weak, and my lids didn't want to open anytime soon. However, being faced with the resilient rays of the sun, I was bound to give in. I rose from the bed and stretched myself before climbing down. I hadn't slept in Kaelan's room last night because he had been busy with some work with Aiden late at night. I knew my presence would become a hindrance and a distraction, so just last night, I decided to sleep alone for the first time this week. It only took minutes for Mary to discover that I was awake, and she was at my service almost immediately. After a clean and healthy bath, I was served breakfast alone. I didn't bother about Kaelan at the moment, ever since that nigh
Kaelan The smell of coconut oil dosed in honey and the sweet attractive smell of pomegranate engulfed my nasal senses the instant I entered the room. Her scent had just overwhelmed me, but she was still fully clothed, not to mention that we were in the presence of my future mother-in-law and Aiden was right behind me. I had gotten here as quickly as I could the moment work ended. It was already close to sundown, and I couldn't miss saying goodbye to the mother of my queen. Not showing up before her departure would be seen as an act of disrespect, and I was far from being disrespectful today."Your majesty..." Emily greeted me with a bowed head. I wanted to stop her but decided against it. I knew she wouldn't listen no matter how much I tried to explain. Just like Aiden, she was the type who believed that respect should be given to those in authority whether family or foe."I'm sorry I wasn't here sooner, I'll make it up to you one way or another." I apologized, and Emily smiled. "T
JoyeMy soul and body felt elated after I accepted Kaelan's proposal. Finally, we were going to be a couple and I could finally feel like a complete part of the family. My life was changing so rapidly, it was almost too good to be true.The wedding preparations had already begun, in just two days I will be wedded to the strongest and sweetest man on the planet. I had to pinch myself severally every day to assure myself that this wasn't one of my daydreams. But every time I was reminded by the pain in my arms that this was reality and that I was indeed getting married to the Lycan king. I had always imagined myself getting married to some prince in my reveries, but never did I imagine that it would be true. And even when I manage to convince myself that it was eventually going to come to pass, I never imagined the wedding to happen on this type of scale. Almost every wolf and Lycan in existence knew about the wedding. Some rumored that it might be the biggest event in history since t
Joye It took only eight hours to get to London, but alas I and Kaelan were free from the burden of kingship and queenship throughout the entirety of our honeymoon. Although I had suggested we waited a month to sort everything out before going on a honeymoon, Kaelan decided it was better to shorten it down to a week. While we were gone, Aiden was in charge of the kingdom and everything concerning it. Kaelan had already issued a strict warning beforehand that we didn't need disturbance of any sort during our honeymoon. The plan was to tour the entirety of Europe during our time off. We would likely spend a week in London, then fly to Wales, and then France and every other country of our interest. This was my first time touring the world, and I needed to make memories of everything we did, and every single moment we spent together as newly wedded couples. However, things weren't exactly going as I planned. Ever since we left the Lycan kingdom for our honeymoon, my phone has been plag
KaelanEvery second I spent with her was worthwhile and I really couldn't ask for anything else. Joye was the best company, the best friend, and without a doubt, the best wife I could ever ask for. Although it's only been a week now since we began our honeymoon, it felt as though I've spent my entire life with her. However, things were different today. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me that something was off with Joye today. "You've not been yourself lately, is everything alright with you?" I asked calmly, trying my best not to trigger any sort of emotions that she might be trying to hide behind her moody blues expression. "Whatever do you mean? I'm perfectly fine." She denied. Joye wasn't especially good at lying, and it was best she didn't start right now. Even a blind man could tell she wasn't doing fine, her depressing aura was literally clouding the entirety of the room. "Don't lie to me Joye, what's going on with you?" I repeated, this time a little more sternly. Somethi
KaelanThese past days have been really difficult for me, not only were my nightmares consistent, I was trying my best to keep my nightmares from interfering with my relationship with Joye, and ruining our honeymoon. Never in my life did I imagine that trying to keep a vivid nightmare out of her mind would be the most difficult task I'll be put up to, but currently that has become my reality. Each time I opened my eyes to see Joye lying beside me I feared for her. With my mental health gradually losing its stability, I might actually end up doing something that I would not be proud of. I could tell Joye was noticing the changes in me, but since I wasn't ready to discuss them, she hadn't opted to point them out. She probably believed that it was important since I haven't told her about it yet, but I knew that overtime, she was going to ask questions, and I will have to give her a reply.This was probably the most difficult moment of my life, I wasn't working or doing anything strengt
