LOGINHey my lovelies,
sorry for the long wait but I am doing my best to post the next chapters today or tomorrow! Thank you for your patience, thank you for reading, and have a lovely day ahead <3 XoXo, ShelaghDear Lovelies Thank you for reading and for your patience while waiting for updates. As you know, I have encountered some health issues that I had to tackle down first. I am slowly getting better, but it takes time. Unfortunately, the stress coming with the exams around the corner led to a bit of a setback, and I had to go to the doctor's to change my medication. With new medication, there comes fear and, more importantly, fatigue, which I am trying hard to cope with. At the same time, I had to lower my dosage of Ritalin intake, which doesn't help at all, but is important for my heart. I hope to adjust to it soon, but even my doctors said not to force it, because it will take a few weeks before it will happen naturally. Two years ago, I lost my uncle because of a heart attack; he was just in his early forties. This broke our hearts and ignited a new fear in our family, but maybe it was also what saved my father's and my life. So that's why I am being extra cautious when it comes t
TheodoreI wake up in the middle of the night, feeling like I’m being watched. The burning sensation of glowing red eyes staring at me through the room must have startled me out of my dreams. Groaning, I fight myself into a sitting position, rubbing my eyes. “Where have you been all this time?” The moonlight is falling onto his legs while his upper body and face remain hidden in the shadows. My twisted brain triggers a shiver to ripple through my body, finding it more alluring than I probably should. My heart beats faster, and I push down my bubbly demeanor as I fear the joy will have my emotions spill over. “Had things to do,” Nathanael responds, his voice deep and cold. “Meeting people. Organizing things. You know…protocol and shit.” I gulp, squirming in my seat while fighting to remain calm, trying to convince myself that I’m just overreacting. But it is difficult to stay cool when I can’t see his expression.Protocol must mean that he is already talking to the palace.Maybe h
Theodore“Please stop it,” I laugh, but Gilda continues to pull at my pillow, tucking me in. “They are just keeping me here because it is due diligence, not because there is something wrong with me.” The words fail her while she still scurries around me, sniffing as she keeps suppressing her sobs. “I’m an immortal now,” I state, finally getting her to stop and look at me. She tears up when I point towards my mark peaking from under my collar. “I have a mark now. You don’t have to worry about me.” I grin at her proudly, and she shakes her head, raising her gaze to the ceiling. “I was so scared.” “I appreciate your worrying about me, but you don’t have to be scared anymore. It’s alright now. I’m doing great.” “You will be an old man soon, too,” she wails theatrically, making me crack up. “Just like you guys. This is going to be fun.” I snuggle deeper in my hospital bed, smiling at her. She sniffs a few more times, letting herself fall into the armchair next to my bed. “Who knows

Theodore“It’s a royal mark.” My heart beats into my throat as I turn around to face Helades standing in the door frame. “They are larger than the usual mark you might have read about. Sorry, I wasn’t able to warn you about that.” I stare at him agape until my brain starts functioning again, making me blink. “Sorry, I must have hallucinated for a second. What?” “A royal mark,” he explains, lifting his finger to point at it. “It is usually bigger than the normal mate marks. Gilda told me about you scrolling through those forums for research. You could have asked me if you wanted to know something about my world or the other realms.” My breath hitches in my throat, and I look at him agape, crossing my hands behind my neck. “What?” I whisper, watching him take a step closer. “I know that I have been an asshole. But I would have wanted to be the one to teach you all those things. I’m really sorry, Theodore. I have been an idiot. I was so scared about the crown, and I spent so long ru
Theodore“Oh, my god,” I whisper under my breath. “What happened?”The doctor shrugs, her eyes sparkling. “I don’t say that lightly. But it was a miracle. During the night, we had to take the tubes out because you started breathing on your own. We did another screening because the machines showed that you were responding to different impulses. And as the results came back, we were shocked. Your blood levels were extraordinary, and after running more tests, we couldn’t find the congenital heart defect you had since birth, which was diagnosed a few months ago. It was gone.”“Gone?” I ask, staring at her agape. “How? Was there a mistake?”She shakes her head. “That was our first thought, too.
Theodore I stretch myself with a groan after I have been sitting at my desk for hours. First, I was annoyed and bored, but strangely, I didn’t even notice how the time passed as I was deep in thought. Soon enough, my eyes were glued to the screens showing the gamers doing their thing, and my tho
Theodore My head is throbbing painfully as I stand in line to get my morning coffee that I desperately need to be able to continue functioning. I am still surprised that I actually managed to get out of bed in the first place. Pulling my hoodie further into my face, I sigh, asking the barista fo
Theordore “Welcome, Sir.” I roll back my shoulders in my improvised uniform as I open the door to a gentleman in a tailored suit. Clearing my throat, I pull at my jacket that one of the ladies of the reception had found in a locker room for me to wear. I guess that an old staff member had for
Theodore Where are you? Helades’ angry text is still dancing on my screen as I walk down the dark hallway to barge into his office. “Here I am!” I announce myself in a sing-song voice and he looks up for only a second only to flash me a disgusted expression. “Forgot how to take a call?” I
