Nova’s povThe air felt so suffocating and I felt a burning feeling in my chest. My neck hurt so badly and I was feeling miserable as I walked down the hallway that lead to the outside of the Lycan King's chamber.It was when I was completely out of his quarter that I began to see people scurrying into the compound. The outside of the Lycan King’s quarter and the inside seemed like two different worlds to me.All the people that I passed by stared at me weirdly and I didn't realise all that was happening until I got to the room that was given to me.The first thing I noticed was the door, the Lycan King broke it down last night and it was like that till I left in the morning. Now, the door has been fixed and I sighed in relief.I headed straight to the full-length mirror only to see another version of myself. The upper part of my dress was damped with my blood, my hair was tangled which made me look like a slave.Dry blood has made my black hair turn wine. I sniffed and wiped away my
Prescott’s povSitting on the swirl chair behind the huge table in my office, with tons of documents lying carelessly on the table. I picked up the last document and signed it, with a smug on my face.“Just wait until the coronation is over, I would take over everything,” I smirked to myself, gathering the documents together.The door flung open and cherry blossom scents filled the air. I already knew who it was, with the pair of her heels clicking aggressively on the marble floor.“Oh, my Prescott!” Ulrica beamed with a smile, her voice sounded through the room.I hastily shoved the documents under a folder before moving my gaze to her, Ulrica was looking more ravishing over the years.“Ulrica!” I stood up from the seat and stretched out my arms for her, Ulrica smiled brightly before running into my open arms.“How have you been?” she disengaged from the hug, stood on her toes and pecked me on my cheeks.“Been well.” I took a few steps back and threw my hands inside my pant pocket. S
Nova’s povA light yet hearable knock was what woke me up from sleep. I tossed and rolled out of bed to get the door for whoever was by the door.I slid my feet into the flip-flop that was laid beside the table, I rubbed my sleepy eyes with the back of my hand and dragged my feet towards the door.I gripped the doorknob and opened the door. A woman whom I assumed to be in her early 50s, gave a slight bow before entering the room, followed by three other unfamiliar ladies that quietly trailed behind her.“Good morning, Princess Nova.” the woman greeted and I bowed to her in respect. “My name is Anika, and I'm the head maid for the Royals,” she added and I nodded my head.I didn't know where she was heading with her introduction, but I wished she could just do whatever she came to do, so I could go back to sleep.“Yes, head maid Anika, how may I help you?” I yawned, rubbing my eyes with my index fingers.“It’s Coronation Day, and I came in person to get you to dress for your Coronation.
Prescott’s povI stood in front of the window, my back on Ulrica who sat on my bed with her leg crossed. She had a cup of popcorn in her hands, and she noisily munched on her popcorn, interrupting my thoughts.I signed and propped my elbow on the window. Gazing out of the window to see a bunch of people scurrying around the compound to get things done before the coronation would start.I could hear voices, coming from the room opposite mine. The room that has been empty for years will be occupied today, by the nation's Queen.The thought of having a woman closer to me, for the rest of my life, gave me a feeling of uncertainty.The wall clock kept tickling, reminding me that I would officially become a family man before the end of the day. “So, you wouldn't tell me who your wife is, would you?” Ulrica stopped munching on her popcorn, she dropped the cup on the nightstand table which made an annoying sound.“I have nothing to say to you.” I groaned, I checked my wristwatch and a light
Nova’s povMom and Dad left a while ago after telling me that he Lycan King sent an invitation. They left for the ballroom, leaving me all alone to myself, the room was eerily quiet and I moved towards the window to have a look at my surroundings.The garment feels heavy and I found it difficult to walk in it.“Why do Lycans always make their dress this difficult to wear?” I grabbed the tip of each side of the dress and strolled to the window.“Woah! They're here already?” my eyes widened, seeing Anike all dressed up in a fine purple dress, with two maids strolling behind her.I moved away from the window and stood at the centre of the room, a knock came on the door and I took a deep breath before ushering them in.“My princess,” Anika greeted with a slight bow, the same thing with the two maids. “The guests have arrived at the ballroom, it's time for you to exit your room.” Her face lit up with a heartwarming smile, I rubbed my sweaty palms together and nodded my head.“Did my parent
Prescott’s povThe after-party ceremony took longer than I expected, I grabbed Randale’s daughter… No, I grabbed Nova’s hand and walked her out of the ceremony ground. The guests flashed us their best smiles, chanting, “Long live the King!”, “Long live the Queen!”Nova shyly lifted her hand, waving at the guests as we passed them by.I tightened my grip on her hand and she let out a muffled, hoarse yelp.We had taken off the mantle and we had changed into another outfit. Nova was clad in a black evening dress that revealed the upper part of her body, she looked uncomfortable considering that it was cold outside.I didn't know whose idea it was, but she was verily stupid for wearing such a dress in this weather.“Congratulations, your Majesty!” Aunt Velvena, my Dad's older sister and only sibling walked up to us with a wooden bowl in her hands. She stopped in front of Nova and flashed her a heartwarming smile. “Congratulations, dear, thank you for considering my nephew worthy enough
Nova’s povI sat at the edge of the Lycan King… Nope, King Prescott. I sat at the edge of his bed, while a maid was fixing my hair.This was my second time in King Prescott’s bed chamber. Aunt Velvena had insisted that I should dress up for his return and here I was, getting dressed in a red babydoll, my hair was packed in a messy bun and the necklace around my neck would glow every time my heart thump like it was going to ripe off.‘Make sure you give it your all, because I can't wait to become a grand Aunt.’I remembered what Aunt Velvena said to me before leaving. I grabbed a buffer and held it to my chest.Will he truly do it with me? I do not know!“I think we're all done!” the two maids exclaimed, staring at me with their gazes filled with happiness. I hide my face in my palms, feeling embarrassed.“Okay, thank you.” I couldn't bring myself to look them in the eyes, I knew I looked like a sex worker who has been dressed, waiting for her master to come to claim her body.My face
Nova’s pov“Good morning, your Royal Highness!” I tossed and turned on the bed before dragging my eyes open. My gaze landed on Anika who had a huge—bright smile plastered on her face.“Good morning,” I whispered before dragging my feet out of the thick duvet that was covering my body. “What’s the occasion?” I slid my feet into a pair of flip-flops that has been laid on the floor, my gaze not leaving Anika who stood before me with so much joy on her face.I moved my gaze away from Anika, to the maids who stood in a straight line with their hands intertwined to their backs.“Oh,” Anika beamed, she stretched out her hand towards the maids and smiled. “It’s your first day as the Queen. I brought the maids for you to choose from them and have your maids, someone who will be attending to your subjective maids, that will be with you all the time.” she expounded, her eyes not leaving me and I moved my gaze to the floor, I didn't want her to see the bags around my eyes.I couldn't believe I c
