I finally figured out that as long as I held something dear, I would always live with a constant fear that one day I might lose them. I had no idea where I was or what I was doing as I silently walked along a straight path with large trees on both sides. At that moment in my dream, I felt utterly alone, and it didn’t feel like my baby was inside of me. Suddenly, I heard the sound of a wolf howling. Surprisingly, the sound felt like it came from close by rather than from afar.My legs began rushing forward as I broke out into a run. My instinct told me that I might find the answer that I was looking for if I managed to catch up to that wolf. Strangely enough, it felt like I was just watching myself running around in my dream and that I had no control over what was going to happen next. A lone wolf sat at the end of the path. Although I had run quite a distance, I wasn't at all tired, and that reminded me that I was living in the world of dreams. Something made me feel like I have known
I nodded my head firmly once to affirm that he got it down quite correctly. In fact, I didn't think that I could summarize my own dream in such an effective way like he had just done.“What do you think?” I asked when the prince suddenly went silent."Honestly, Mila, I don't know what to think. This has never happened before, so I don't know how to take it. I do wish, and I would like to hope, that the wolf inside you would help us and our baby," the prince said before he leaned forward to place a tender kiss on my forehead."Can we do like an ultrasound to see our baby transforming? I mean, we're assuming that he or she is transforming, but it could just be normal movements, right?" I asked.I wondered if ultrasounds were also against the rules or if the effect would trigger the baby to transform even more often."I guess we can consult the doctors about it," Prince Leonard said noncommittally.…The combination of factors led to my first ultrasound session after my first request was
"Then I guess we should wait for a bit and see," the doctor said with a nod of his head. I felt my throat constrict as I waited in anticipation to see whether or not my baby would transform. Everyone stared at the screen in silence, and I was scared to even breathe. Suddenly, I felt an intense movement inside of my belly and knew that my baby had just started moving significantly. My eyes widened as I focused my attention on the screen. At first, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, and all I could see was my baby kicking, moving his arms, and tossing and turning in my belly."Oh my..." I murmured before my hands flew to cover my mouth. I was so shocked that I couldn't stop staring, wondering if my eyes were playing tricks on me. "Did you see that?" Prince Leonard asked from close to me. I nodded my head as I kept on staring at what seemed to be an abnormal transformation. At first, I had kind of expected that my baby would somehow morph into his wolf form, but that wasn't the case.
**3 years later**One of the days that Prince Leonard dreaded the most finally arrived. After trying to put it off and holding the fort for a bit more than 3 years, it seems that he could no longer have his way regarding the matter."I don't want to be king," Prince Leonard muttered darkly."I guess there's nothing that you can do about that," I replied before grinning at him. I had always known that the prince did not want to become the next king. However, as fate would have it, he was not only the first prince to produce an ultimate alpha son, but he was the only one. We found out that the doctor was right about my body being able to accommodate the growth and transition of our baby to full-term. That did not mean that the pregnancy journey was easy for me. In fact, I truly kept everyone excited and on edge right up until the birth of our child. Thankfully, Prince Leonard was adamant in ignoring all past customs that were in support of natural delivery for the sake of both my safet
“Was that your first kiss?” A voice of a man that I’ve never heard before. Did he just kiss me? There is a strange lingering feeling on my lips. My lips tingled and it ached slightly from his kiss. It felt like there was something that I wanted to say to him but my lips wouldn’t move, and my chest felt tight as my heart beat wildly in my chest. ‘Yes, it was my first kiss,’ I replied to him silently in my mind. “Relax. Your body is all stiff and your cheeks are bright red. Are you shy or embarrassed? Or perhaps…both?” the voice asked teasingly. I’ve never heard this voice before, and I had no idea who the man was. Everything around me was shrouded in darkness like there was a heavy smoke clouding my vision. He was near but I couldn’t see him or his face clearly. It was like he was here and yet he wasn’t. “Did you enjoy your first kiss? Should we give it another try? Maybe your second kiss will feel so good that it’ll make you forget all about your first…” the man suggested seduct
“Wow! This is a new record since these auctions have been up and running! Never has anything or anyone sold for this much before. Everyone, take a look! This girl is the most expensive slave. More expensive than any artwork or rare gem that has ever been auctioned here before!” a man’s voice announced loudly through the microphone.The crowd’s cheer was deafeningly loud, and the auditorium echoed with the sound of their voices and their clapping. The man grabbed the large chain connected to my wrists and yanked hard on it. I felt my body being pulled as I staggered towards him. I would have fallen over face first from the forceful way that he handled me had he not caught my arm in his large hand and pulled me up. “Come here, girl. Your new master is waiting for you. You have no idea how lucky you are to be sold to a prince. You’ll get to live in a castle from now on. How wonderful is that?” he hissed tauntingly close to my ear. I could smell the reek of cigarettes from the man’s br
My eyes widened half in shock and in panic as his gracefully long fingers approached my face. His aura, his presence, and everything about him told me that we were worlds apart and I was dumbstruck and intimidated at his presence and how close he was to me. When his fingers almost touched my face, I flinched back and closed my eyes reflexively. Suddenly, I felt the sensation of the tape on my mouth being gently pulled until it was completely removed from my lips. My eyes opened at the same time that my mouth gasped for air. I must have breathed in too fast at the relief of having my mouth freed once again that I started coughing. “Your name…?” the prince inquired once more.I was scared but I found myself staring up easily into his mesmerizing blue eyes. It could have been my imagination, or the light, or my hopefulness playing tricks on me, but for a moment, I was sure that his eyes were gentle and kind. However…“People should never be bought and sold! Slavery is wrong!” I spat.
“You seem distracted and moody. Still having problem sleeping?” Darius asked with concern. “Yeah…sort of…” Leonard mumbled in reply. He had been taking pills to help him go to sleep at night, although it didn’t seem to help much. He glanced over at Darius’s worried face and decided that his brother didn’t need to know that. “Back to the topic. We can’t send Florian. The reason is simple, he turns up to that event often enough of his own will that it doesn’t make sense to make him represent the nation,” Darius explained smoothly. “Well…fuck…” Leonard cursed under his breath. Suddenly, a few knocks sounded from the other side of the door to the room. The two men heard it at the same time. Prince Leonard rolled his eyes before throwing his head back and closing his eyes. If he could choose, he would choose to disappear into thin air without a second thought. Darius shook his head slightly before he got up from his seat and approached the door. “It’s me. The King’s senior advisor, C
