Two maids came to me they bow to me, they brought me a dress, an expensive gown,it’s not a ball, it’s a long straight gown. I took my bath and dress up, I walk to the mirror looking like those filthy rich kid.
I smile at myself in the outfit I am wearing, I went to sit at the vanity and another maid came in with a woman who helped me with my make up.
The maids led me to my parents in the Banquet room, there were other royals in the Banquet ,they were all seated round the table,my sister adopted sister Erica also came, she was wearing a one arm straight gown.
We both stood and bow to my parents, Kings, Queens, Princes, Princesses and Nobles were at the table.
There were empty chairs one beside mom and another beside my dad.
My dad ask me to come sit with him and my mom ask Erica to come sit with her.
ERICA.
Staring at Emilia got me so angry, she seems to have come to steal all the dedicated love my parents had shown me all over the years. Just in hours that she was found she has become the favourite of my parents. I look to my dad and e was talking to Emilia even my mom focus was all on Emilia. I look to all the princes on the table they all have their eyes on Emilia.
I couldn’t eat when the maid came to serve us, all the princes seems to be interested in her, none of them looked at me that way since they have been coming into this Palace.
I manage to eat a bit and I was expecting mom to ask me as usual as she use to ask if I had eaten but she didn’t instead she was telling Emilia wo was eating to eat well.
After everyone was done eating, dad stood up and introduce Emilia to everyone.
“ I am very pleased and happy to have you all honour my invitation to introduced to you all that we have found our lost future Empress of our Kingdom Emilia,I know all Kings and Queens seated here remembered when we lost her eighteen years ago and now we have found her and because it calls for celebration that is why I have invited you all here to celebrate with me. Cheers! Dad said raising his glass.
All the guest raise their glass and cheer. I only manage to raise my glass up, tears began to build up in my eyes, I quickly pour my drink down my throat,I poured myself about three glasses and drop the glass, I look into my parents eyes, it seems they already abandoned me for Emilia, they were to focus on her.
She can’t even see me drinking this much not just them but all the princes, they all are drooling over her. I got up and walk into my room,I slam the door of my room in anger and went to sit in front of my Vanity.
The words of my dad came flushing into my memory “ Future Empress” I fold my hand into a fist, my anger boils inside of me, I pant so hard and hit my Vanity hard.
“ NO! No!! I cried out,she won’t take my place, I have been here since I was three, all of the respect, privileges and publicity would go to Emilia just like that? No!That won’t happen,the throne is mine I would not be ridiculed in the midst of other Royals,I will not let Emilia remain here in this palace because I will not be reduce to a second class royal.
I have to do something, Emilia has to leave the palace, I must rule ,I don’t care if it will take the life of anyone! I said to myself and dry my tears.
EMILIA.
I feel loved by my parents and everyone around me but the mystery surrounding me not being able to remember anything baffles me, I want to know what happened to me in the past and not just that, mom said some people were chasing after me and from the bruises on my body, I can tell someone is after my life.
Te party came to an end, it was nice meeting everyone I met including the princes and princesses, I made friends and it was really fun. I was going to return to my room and that was when I remembered Erica isn’t here. I walk to my mom and ask about Erica and that was when our parents realized she wasn’t here.
I was too tired to even meet with her that night, I needed some sleep, I went to bed.
After few hours of sleeping, I woke up from a nightmare panting hard.
I see a familiar face chasing after me, I can’t really tell where I knew her, she chased after me then she shifted into a wolf, she had dark flame following her as she chases me. I woke up in the middle of the chase panting hard.
I sit up in my bed trying to figure out the woman chasing me. I know I have seen her before now but I can’t remember who she is.
I flip aside my duvet and get out of the bed, I walk to the window, stare out into the dark with my head spinning in thought about who I was.
“ Why can’t I remember the past? I whisper to myself? I shut my eyes and I saw something scary, I saw someone push me down the top of the palace. I quickly open my eyes in fear,I move back in fear shivering I rush back into my bed. I lay down and curve myself into ball, I pull the duvet over myself and try not to close my eyes but slowly I drifted into sleep.
I opwn my eyes when someone kissed me on my forehead, it was my mom, she smile at me, Erica was with her.
“ Good morning honey” She greeted me.
“ Good morning mom” I greeted.
“ Good morning Erica” I greeted.
“Good morning Sis” she replied but not with a smile.
“ I need to prepare for the day like the real Alpha of the Seven kingdom” Erica says. My mom looks back to her. She smile and look back at me.
“That’s what I have been doing all my life, I can’t stop just because I am not going to be an Alpha to the pack, who knows, my mate could be an Alpha of a pack, I should support him” Erica says,
“ Yeah, you are right” mom replied with a smile holding her hand.I stare at her as she walks to the door, she opens the door and look back to me, she stare at me in a way that I could feel something is not right about her.I could feel my wolf trying to speak to me but it keeps pulling itself back. Mom was speaking to me and nothing from all she was saying was entering into my hearing until she tapped me.“ hey,is everything okay?My mom asked.“ Yeaaah, I don’t know”I said.“ You don’t know? She asked.“ Just trying recollect my past, maybe I could remember” I Lied.“Okay, The doctor will be here soon to tell us what happened to you medically’ My mom said.“ I should take my bath and get dressed then” I said to my mom.“ Okay honey” She said and kissed me on my fore head, she got off the bed and took her leave.When she left , I undressed and walk to the bathroom, I flash back to my vision and my dreams,all I could feel was danger, I am in danger with not one person, two people, they
Pregnant?I asked in serious confusion,I steal a glance at her andtry to place my hand on my tummy but I couldn’t“ Who are you ?I look up to her. I can tell she isn’t a good person, a very dishonest person, I could see cruelty in her, the way she paces around me and look at me.“ Why are you playing pretence Estelle? You think you are smart? You think even though you found out already that the king is your mate, I would let go of our deal? She asked. She squat in front of me, she look deeply into my eyes and smile. Stop trying to be smart Estelle, you are nothing but a baby to me, you can’t pretend and think I will fall for all those cheap antics” She says.“ Deal? My Mate? The king? I said to myself in a lower voice, all I remember was being tricked by my adopted sister Erica out and someone injecting me with something but the whole thing about this woman seems strange to me.I began to try to search my memory if I have met this woman before? And I remembered her she was one of the w
FEW MONTHS LATER.I dress up at night, I didn’t dress like I would have really dress, I cast a magic on the king to keep sleeping.I walked out of the palace with the nurse with my fake pregnancy,I had to do this to make Everyone believe that I am pregnant.Did I just say babies? Yes babies,she is expecting triplets, Two boys and a girl, we had a scan of the babies about a month ago, she could put to bed anytime from now so I go to check on her frequently.The driver drove us to the house, we step into the house , I could hear whimper, it’s whimpers of pain as we walked closer to the underground where she is. The nurse rushes towards the door,I opened the door, she was already in Labour, she was in pain.The nurse rushes towards her, I untie her legs but not her hand, yes that is where the strength of her Magic lies, her magic is powerful than mine, I know there is magic in her voice when she screams out for help and that is why I always make sure she has gag on her mouth.The nurse
“ What?! I asked,I felt disappointing because I already announced to the kingdom that I am expecting triplet and they are looking forward to it,even the king is looking forward to the triplets.I clasp my hand together and pick one of the triplet. “ Drop the baby with down syndrome with his mom,I can’t deal with the stress of raising such baby” The nurse look at me and was going to speak.“ Do as I say” I said with a straight face. “ Pick the babies and let’s go, I need to go and lay myself at the Royal hospital,I need to be fast about it” The nurse picked up the babies as we were about to leave she look back at Estelle and look into my face.“What about the mom of the triplets , we cannot leave her in this condition” She says with her head bowed.“ Her condition is none of your business, do as I say and don’t ask stupid questions” I said.Estelle look into my eyes, she was trying to struggle to move in her chains but I was just laughing . I feel like strangling her to death but I was
I look towards the window trying to search my memory.“I should remember! I should …..I….Should remember my past” I said.“ Aunt Agnes needs help, she has been through so much since I know her, one man named Ernest just left, he always bully Aunt Agnes, he will take us all away if Aunt Agnes doesn’t pay his money” Ethan said.I look towards the door, Agnes stood with a tray of food and fruits in her arms, the happy beautiful face I saw earlier wasn’t the one I am seeing now, she is suffering because of me and my son.She paused for a while then she tried to wear a smile on her face.“My son told me everything, I promise I will repay you for your good deeds, it’s all because of you that I am alive” I said.“No, you don’t have to do that , I wil save up to sort it out” Agnes said.“ No,I won’t let you do this alone,it’s my duty to pay you back” I said.“You should eat first before it gets cold”Agnes says.Few days later we bonded so well then suddenly I saw my son standing alone, I call
Panic overwhelmed me, but I took another breath. What waited for me beyond the walls of the casino was much, much worse. I had to succeed in this mission. Ethan my son needs me. Agnes and I needed each other, we also have Ernest debt to pay.. Speaking of Ethan , Agnes told me he picked him beside me when she saved me. Agnes might be nasty playing stupid games like this but she is a good friend who cared so much. I can’t blame her too much, she is a doctor with Magic from another pack, she got banished for not being able to control her magic, now she doesn’t even have them anymore because she asked the moon goddess to take them from her. She took care of both me and my son when I was in Coma for good six years, she cater for me and since I had nothing to give back to her , I need to support her. I look around in fear as I keep seeing the kind of place we are , there are so much entourage and it looks as if war was going to begin between those gambling anytime soon. Focus. Pay att

JEFF It was Matt who knocked on the door of my office just after one a.m. I barely heard the rap on the thick wood, my eyeballs burning as I studied the ledgers in front of me. Most of my counterparts had long since learned to rely on machines for their bookkeeping, but I still preferred the old-fashioned way of doing things, my own hand dictating the numbers stored deeply in my memory once I’d written them. “Jeff?” “Hm?” I vaguely nodded for her to enter, still fixated on the pages in front of me. “We’ve had an attempted robbery.” Well, that was enough to get my attention. In the centuries of running my empire, I could count on one hand how many times someone had attempted to steal from me. My gaze flittered upward, eyes narrowing in disbelief. “Come again?” The man nodded, pursing her thin lips together. “The girl didn’t take much, from what I can see, and she appears to be working alone.” I pondered the scenario for a moment and drew an absolute blank. Short of full-on psyc
