There are wolves everywhere, beautiful wolves, there has to be thousands of them, all growling and snapping.Some of the wolves are black, some brown, some grey, most of them with stripes of other colors. She tries to take it all in, she doesn't move an inch of her body asides her head.She's also trying to see if she can spot Jason but, since she's never seen him in wolf form, she doesn't know which wolf he is.She turns her head to ask Katie to point out Jason to her when she sees him. She definitely sees him.He looks different from all the other wolves, he stands out magnificently.He is bigger and fiercer than the rest of them. His fur.Boy, his fur.His fur is pure white. She suddenly feels the itch to go closer to him and wrap her arms around him.At this point all the wolves have stopped training and are staring at her. They have to be able to communicate with each other because Jason turns to them and growls then as one, they all bow their heads to her, bending one of their
“Is something wrong?” Sarah asks them.“Not at all darling, Lukas says. “We’re just being conscious, it doesn't hurt to be more careful.”“I wish you didn’t have to go through all this trouble for me.”“Trust me when I say, every single man here is here because he wants to be, not because he has to be. I told you, anyone with intentions to hurt you has to go through me first.And in other to get through me, you have to go through my men first.” Lukas assures her.She lets go of Jason and goes to hug him. “Thank you,” she whispers. “A pleasure, darling.”“Nothing happens to you on my watch,” Jason says to her, his words sound like a vow. He nods to the men and they disperse, Lukas joining the car in front.Sarah is surprised to see it’s not just an eatery,it’s like an hotel; an expesive one.They walk through the halls of the ultra-modern building, Jason pointing out the various technological marvels that Sarah has yet to see. But Sarah's attention is on Jason, on the way his hand feels
"She was lying on the floor, so helpless, tattered, and in chains. She kept asking me to help her. God! Jason it felt so real, like she was really there." The tears are coming out of her eyes again at this point.Jason shifts so they're lying side by side on the bed, her head on his arm. He cups her face in the other hand and rubs her cheeks with his thumb, gently wiping her tears away."Do you know the weirdest part of the whole dream?" She asks him."What was it, precious?""She called me her baby. She said 'Jolene, my baby', that was the part that really freaked me out. When I woke up I kept hearing it in my head. I can almost still hear it now.""Oh baby.""Jason, it sounded so familiar. It was like I've heard that voice in my head a million times."Jason cups the back of her head in his hands and pulls it into his chest, his hand caressing her hair."It was just a dream, baby. You're okay, you're good, you're here, okay?" he asks and she nods.After what seems like hours but is j
Breakfast is a meal Sarah had never seen or heard of.The meal is like custard, but not yellow. The young girl that served them explained it was made from corn and called 'pap'. It was served with cream and sugar. It tasted delicious.This was served with a plate of toasted bread and fried eggs. She made sure she polished her plates.They sit down at the small table on the balcony, surrounded by the beautiful scenery. The tray is filled with an assortment of fresh fruits, pastries, and a pot of steaming coffee."Alice is going to love you, just for the fact that you never let her meals go to waste," Jason says."That's good, I want her to so she'll give me her recipes when I ask for them," Sarah answers, wiping her mouth.As they eat, they talk about their plans for the day and the things they want to accomplish. Sarah can't help but feel content and happy, surrounded by the beauty of the palace and the love of Jason.The sun rises higher in the sky, casting a warm glow over the balco
"Are you out of your mind?" Lukas asks her, "you want us to use Sarah as bait? You've got to be joking.""So what do you want us to use as bait? The bait has to be something the hunted wants. If we want to catch an animal, we have to give it what it wants. She wants Sarah, we give her Sarah. We'll have witches and," she says with emphasis when Lukas wants to interrupt, "werewolves to protect her. I'd go a million times if I could, but my going would be useless," Katrina returns."But…" Jason starts."I'll do it," Sarah interjects.Jason and Lukas look at her like they're seeing her for the first time."No fucking way!" they chorus."I'm doing it!" she yells and jumps to her feet."I'll be the bait," she says to Katrina. "What's the trap going to be?""Sarah I can't let you do this," Jason says softly.She turns to him. "Jason, I'm sick and tired of this…this…this stupid fucking bitch witch, playing with me. I'm not going to have her play with people that mean something to me. I don't
Some of the witches snicker. Katrina turns to them."Relax, she's very cool and sweet. We're friends," Katrina addresses them."You're friends with the supreme?" someone in the crowd asks unbelievably."I know right, you wouldn't believe it," Katrina replies. She goes to Sarah and links arms with her."This is not just an introduction, it's an invitation. The king is holding a welcome party for the supreme. You're all invited," Katrina informs them."The king is holding a welcome party?" another person asks."What? You all need help with your hearing? Yes, he is. And before anybody asks me again, yes, you're all invited.""Righteous!" a voice says, it's a younger lady."You got it right, cupcake!" Katrina calls out."I'll really love for you guys to attend my party. Like I said, I'm new to this and I feel like I'll be needing you guys help a lot," Sarah adds."I'll be there, supreme," the young girl calls out."Thanks, honey," Sarah replies.Then from all corners, "I'll be there Supre
JASONJason opens the door to Sarah's room, it's still dark even though the sun is up already. All the curtains are shut.There she is!Sarah is still asleep under the sheets. Her body shape looks like a lump with the sheets ticked under her chin like that.My poor baby. She's probably cold.The sun is up but it's already winter. Her room is chilly, she must have forgotten to turn off the air conditioner_he learnt in the Firstworld, they also call it that. He turns off the air conditioner and ramps up the heater before he goes to sit beside her on the bed. She shifts immediately and he smiles, she's not a dead weight in bed."Hey Sleepyhead, arise and shine. It's way past breakfast time already."As Sarah stirs from her slumber, Jason's gaze lingers on her delicate features. He's in awe of her beauty and feels a rush of affection for her that fills his heart. As she begins to open her eyes, Jason can't help but lean in and gently kiss her forehead, relishing the softness of her skin
SARAHKatrina comes in immediately Jason leaves. Sarah is still feeling hazy from the kiss Jason left her with so she sits on her bed. "Well, well, look at you. Aren't you just lucky?" Katrina asks as she goes to sit on the chair at Sarah's vanity."I am. Totally lucky. Why are you sitting there? You can come join me on the bed, it's just the two of us.""No way, that's disrespect to the king." Sarah is shocked. "What do you mean?""The king has rain on that bed, I can't just sit on it like it's a regular one," she explains."Is that a kind of rule? Like something that attracts punishment of some sort?""Of course not. It's not like he's going to find out if I do sleep on it. It's just not something I should do."They really reverence him."I get the fact that Jason is king, but not all kings are loved like you people love him.""Well, not every king is a king like him. He could have chosen to have the witches eradicated or ostracized like the kings in the other countries did, but h
