LOGINThe Only SolutionElowen's POV“Cover your wound, quick! Use this to mask your scent.”Reina tossed a handkerchief to me and I smelled a weird smell coming from it. I did what she asked and covered my wound with it.“That was incredibly stupid of you, Elowen. I didn't think you'd do it.”Reina scolded me and I shrunk back in my seat.“Honestly not the first time. She just loves doing something foolish—like putting her life in danger.”Kohen grumbled beside me.He was panting softly and it's obvious that his body is still recovering from the suppressant they used on him. “I couldn't think of anything else. I just... I just know that I wanted to save you.”Kohen's sharp gaze turned to me. His mouth remained shut but his eyes spoke volumes. I could see anger, relief and happiness in them. I returned his stare, unwavering and as intense as his. His eyes softened a little before he looked away and a deep sigh left me. The most important thing right now is that he's safe and what I did wasn
Is This The End?Elowen's POVJake tried with all his might to take me out of the palace and even resorted to carrying me, but nothing can stop me from going back to Kohen. I did not even care if going back meant dying. Now that I fully accept my feelings, I won't run away from it. I would gladly die with the man my heart chose.When the guards appeared to capture us, Jake still tried to protect me.“Just save yourself, Jake. What they want is me. I will go back to Kohen.”I told him with determination, and I could tell the guards were afraid of fighting him. I almost forgot that Jake is as strong as the king's elite knights. “Why are you both so eager to die?”I watched in shock when Jake dropped his weapon and raised his hands in surrender. The guards quickly forced him on his knees and they tied me with a rope. “He won't be happy when he sees you. He might kill me first before we get executed.” And he wasn't. Jake and I were taken to the underground chamber in the prison depart
Releasing the Monster Inside MeKraven's POVI was trapped inside my own body for God knows how long. I fought and fought but it felt like I was continuously falling to a pitless ocean with no way of swimming to the top. It felt like even if I tried to use my limbs as hard as I could, it would be pointless and I would continue to sink and lose my breath. When I finally managed to swim to the shore and see the light, I woke up panting and heaving like crazy. Fuck, everything hurt. It felt like I just fought a thousand enemies. “Call the king and queen. Inform them that the crown prince is awake!”“W... Water.”I requested and groaned when it felt like I had just swallowed sandpaper.A nurse quickly handed me a glass of water and I drank it in one go, handing back the glass to ask for more. “Thank God you're awake, your highness. The whole kingdom is worried about you. How are you feeling? Can you tell me if you're feeling any kind of pain? Any discomfort?”I rolled my shoulders a li
Sentenced to DeathElowen's POVI could tell that Kohen was still reluctant, and it honestly warmed my heart to know that he was worried about me. After what I said, I guess he realized that I had a point too.“You asked for it.”I did, and I can't believe I'm throwing myself to him like a common whore on the street. Kohen was different that night. He didn't just do it without a care if I was hurting. For the first time ever, he was gentle and he made sure I was fine. He held me close to him. He caressed me like a lover would. And it was the best night ever, although I could feel the curse weakening my body once more. Kohen was right. It's getting harder and longer for me to get back on my feet. I feel incredibly drained, exhausted and weak.“There has to be a way to prevent this from happening. I will ask Reina tomorrow if we can do something.”Kohen spoke after a moment of silence between us.I panted hard, trying hard to catch my breath and wincing whenever I breathed hard enough
I Offer Myself To YouElowen's POVI promised him that I would wait for him to wake up and I did. I stayed beside his bed, just staring at his sleeping form with a soft smile on my face. I was relieved and happy that he was back. That he's safe and sound. “Thank you,”I whispered.I don't know how long I sat there just quietly looking at him and making sure he was comfortable. I found myself falling asleep beside his bed with my head on the bed and my hand on top of his.When I woke up, the sun was already out and he was still in a deep sleep. Thinking that he might wake up soon, I went to the kitchen to prepare something for him to eat when he woke up. I cooked something heavy and healthy for him to eat and gain his strength.“Is this good enough?”I wondered out loud while staring at the food I prepared. “Ah, I think he needs some fruit and fresh milk.”I snapped my fingers and turned around to leave when I spotted the queen mother and her retainer entering Kohen's front yard.“Oh,
Kohen's POVI used to think that sacrificing your own safety for someone was foolish, and I never thought that there will come a time where I will do it out of my own free will. Until that day when I saw the assassin pointing a gun at Elowen's back, and the latter had no idea, too busy tending over her beloved prince. “Stupid human.”Before I knew it, my body automatically moved on its own to shield and protect her from the potential danger. Like how every prince in the corny and cliché story does. I hissed when I felt the bullet entering my body and affecting my system.It did not take me long to realize that shit, the bullet was induced with poison and I could feel it spreading all over my body. Help arrived not long after and I detached myself from her to avoid misunderstandings that can put her in more danger. I am not a saint that will save her every fucking time. “They are poisoned, your majesty. I believe the weapons the assassins used are poisoned with wolf's bane and some
A Beautiful Swan For TonightElowen's POV“Will you allow this old woman to be your second fairy godmother tonight?”The queen mother requested with a kind smile on her face.I skeptically looked at her outstretched hand.“But your majesty...”“We're running out of time, dear. Girls, take this lovely
A Taste of Your Own Medicine Elowen's POV“What?”I asked in pure disbelief. Did I just hear it right? Did my ex, who cheated on me, left me to be killed, and rubbed it in my face that his mistress is better than me, just tell me that he wants me back? The audacity! “Please, Elowen. I know what

The Monsters Are BackElowen's POVWho saved them? This question lingered in my head when Kohen and I went back to the palace separately.
